That pic of Triple H from that costume site is weird being out of context. I'm so used to seeing him at Mania with that garb and to see him like that, he looks like a average joe who tans a lot and lifts.

Being Bischoff's buddy probably didn't help him much, either. Also, he was 45 at the time of the Invasion angle. Strike 3. I say screw that. Batista is the same age, roughly. I'll book him then!

The WWE didn't even try with DDP. He was a common man's wrestler and very underrated. Decent worker, good charisma, and good on the stick, not to mention the awesome finisher. The guy deserved better in WWE but I guess he doesn't really look like a WWE guy.

Correction, it was awesome.

Foley, I guess. I don't usually think of him as an original though since he really had his success in the WWF. Other than him, probably Heyman or RVD. Everyone else is laughable. Sabu maybe, since he was revolutionary at one point. Can't do Sandman, Dreamer, Lance. I don't consider Jericho an original or Dean or Benoit (lol). Credible is a hell no and Jerry Lynn is a no for me, same with Raven. ECW hasn't aged well.

Mr. Backlund would be pleased

What if WrestleMania was not successful? I assume whoever had the 6:05 timeslot would have been in control for a while. Wrestling, if I'm correct, would still have been popular and mainstream, so it's fair to say there would have been a power vacuum for control. Would Crockett still have been forced to sell to Turner? He would have had access to Hulk and would have only had Verne to fight with but would that have been enough for him to succeed? Let's say, JCP still has to sell. WCW may have been the #1 promotion in the US until at least 2001 and beyond maybe.

That hurts my brain just thinking about it. MMA wouldn't have taken off, if you ask me. Vince would have never understood it at all. Imagine just one division, the heavyweights!

I swear I'm not concern trolling here, but I wonder if Dave will take a hit from the WWE network. Like if you are a big fan and you have $10/month you can justify blowing on a wrestling site but $20 is a stretch...and you are going to choose between the Observer and the WWE network...it seems he might lose that fight a bunch of times over. My guess is that the majority of people who subscribe to the WON are hardcores whose main hobby is wrestling. It's not like casual wrestling fans read or care about the WON. Those hardcores will buy both, like myself. Hell, I'll be subbing the Network, F4W.com, and the print WONs.

Did anyone not get their print issue last week? I've been waiting a few days and haven't seen it yet. The better question is, how many people here subscribe to print and the site lol

I love how Inoue eggs her on after the second corner leap! Great psychology.

Why exactly are the Outlaws beating the tag champs? Sure, they're over but so is Ric Flair, should be going over on Punk? I'm all for them getting a title shot one-off at the PPV but not this. It makes them look weak that they lose to old guys. They're supposed to be the best team in the world, this should be a warm-up for them.

Mark Henry looks the exact same in both pics as if someone photoshopped him into one of them.

Is that a surprise? The Wii-U has barely sold 4 million units in over a year.

The Network sounds pretty decent but it was always a given I would subscribe. Not sure I'll watch most PPVs live though. This thing is like Classics on Demand but on a much larger scale. I can finally give my DVD Recorder some good usage too!

Explain to me something since I haven't been watching current WWE much lately. Why exactly is Daniel Bryan with the Wyatts? Has he been brainwashed? I don't ever remember hearing him losing a match with a stip saying he had to join.

Is this the beginning of the end or just the beginning?

I don't know, but if she died within the past 5 years then probably not. Seems like he is way behind. Yea, I think she died December 20.

I'm a little late to the party but did Dave ever do a bio on Vivian St. John?

Not much these days. Used to collect baseball cards until I realized they served no purpose for me. The fun was always in opening up a new box and seeing what I got. Once that was over, I stuck them in other boxes or in a book and that's it. Also, I used to collect WWE figures but I really don't use them for much so I'm selling the remaining few I have. I kinda sorta collect wrestling dvds but I have so many of them that have gone unwatched.

How is Drawing Heat by Jim Freedman? Is it worth a read/purchase?

According to Zeidler's comment on the goat pic, DB would pee on himself. Either way, . Yea, I see now. Either way, fun for all.

Hot N Ready

Thanks for the compliment, I wasn't sure too many people cared about the reviews! I'll try downloading those players and I can start on Prime Time again.

So, for DB's wedding, Brie is going to piss on him?
