    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.

     

    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!

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

    The WWE Network is really going to be interesting when it launches.  It could arguably end up being some of the best radio they ever do.

     

     

    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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
