  1. Kid Kash was like RVD 2.0 back in 2000. I loved him!
  2. Bam Bam was far from mediocre, in my eyes. The guy could have a great match with anyone and was pretty believable as a big man heel. He was certainly never going to be the face of a company though. Some would say he is one of the best big men in modern history. Name me 3 guys better than him (try to exclude Vader). I like Herc but he is definitely on the cusp. To me, he fits in with guys like Barbarian or Warlord, in that he they look good and are pretty damn solid workers but that's about it. I think I became a fan of the Barbarian from this board, from one of the topics on him back 05 or so.
  3. I love the Warlord, Haku, and Barbarian. All pretty solid guys. Sid is a great example of a mediocre guy. He had AMAZING presence at times and when he was protected well, he looked pretty serviceable. But, when he was unchained, the guy was horrible, case in point his 99-00 stuff. His entrance was the best thing he had going for him then. His WWF runs were pretty reeled in and better by default. He was booked great in ECW too for his short stint.
  4. I'm not sure I would want to meet the person who would actually wear this shirt Apparently there are two designs...
  5. But would he have drawn? I was thinking more along the lines of who is the total package. Look at Benoit, who I consider on the cusp of mediocrity. The guy was extremely dull, could talk just competently, but he was a hell of a worker. He was never going to draw for a major American company, at least. IMO, Matt Hardy is a similar guy. He could work but he was kinda dull even during his Version 1 days.
  6. Who do you guys think are the best mediocre wrestlers of all-time? Guys who maybe had the looks and size to be a star but just didn't have much else, and even got big pushes too. I have to think that Paul Roma is the bottom of the barrel for mediocrity and the standard bearer. He was good looking with a good physique who wasn't going to draw for shit. For the top of the mediocre list, I'd put guys like Lex Luger and Bobby Lashley. I'm a fan of Luger but he never had the charisma to justify his big pushes. I loved him as a babyface and wish he'd have gotten more time in a role like that. Lashley is as dull as you can get, with no major presence or charisma, and the only way he is looking good is through amazing protection/booking. I'm told his heel run in Impact was decent though but since returning to the WWE, he has kinda floundered. How about Matt Hardy before his Broken run? Who else you guys got?
  7. I always wondered what Lloyd Braun was up to these days
  8. That sucks. Anyone know how the live stream is on the FITE app? I'm still not sure I actually want to spend $40 on a PPV in 2018, lol.
  9. Can I just subscribe to the HonorClub for a month and watch it with that, or is there a straight PPV option on top of that?
  10. Forgive my ignorance but is NJPW World airing All In live?
  11. That whole fucking Universal title lineage is horrible. Finn and Goldberg were pretty short. Owens was the usual weak WWE heel because heaven forbid we have strong WWE heels. And, Brock looked strong but never wrestled. It's up to Roman to seize the day and make this belt a man's belt.
  12. What all can I customize and share and download online? I know you can download created wrestlers but do they have belts, rings, etc. too?
  13. What's the state of HonorClub these days, in terms of streaming quality and VOD? Anyone know if they're still doing an open beta for Roku?
  14. Did they just grab one of those giant makeup pads and pancake her face with it?
  15. I had a pleasure to meet him twice and he was a very friendly and kind man. I was a WWF fan growing up in the 90's and I was obsessed with the WWE title. Since he was champ before I was born and he held it so long, he came across as a god and still kinda does, to me. He was the definition of a WWF/E babyface and a man with seemingly infinite integrity.
  16. I just now discovered the GWN app was on the Xbox, so I signed up for the free trial. The app has a long ways to go to catch up to the Network but it's workable. No chapter stops is no fun and the fast forwarding and pausing is bad too. They still have some decent amount of content for $7.99 a month. I caught the first TNA show ever and it was more low rent than I remembered. The crowd was kinda dead and it was sad to see how far wrestling had fallen since 2001. When WCW died, it was semi-enjoyable and pretty non-wacky but TNA went in the opposite direction creeping towards 2000 WCW levels but with the X-Division. I might just end up skipping around and watching more current stuff since I'm pretty out of the loop on the product. I also wish they had a compendium of the Broken Matt stuff so I could just watch that stuff.
  17. Jarrett should have worn a light-up suit to the HOF ceremony.
  18. I got through that last episode pretty smoothly, and I hope this is a look at things to come. I just want the CWC every week and I'll be happy. Give me a unique take on the WWE, not the same re-hashed Cruiserweight division that we have gotten in one form or another since 1997. Both matches were pretty damn awesome, in their own ways. I totally got into the story of Kalisto and Lince both wanting to go to Mania and neither accepting a loss easily. Itami/Strong was pretty nice too and it really built up as the match went on. BTW, I never actually realized how Itami was not a star until now, at least in the WWE. When he first came in, I really thought he had a good shot in the company but now, a couple years later, I fully understand his placement on the roster. He can work his ass off and be a star in Japan, don't get me wrong. Also, does he ever use the GTS anymore or has it been completely phased out?
  19. HHH is getting me more interested in this show. I loved the CWC but didn't care much for this show and now I'll give it one more go with this week.
