The thing is to me, none of the freelancers have any real "fuck you" power. Maybe in 70's America where there were a ton of places to work and make great money, but there's only a few places to work in Japan.

I think companies in general underestimate this too. If my gym or favorite restaurant gave me a free shirt, I'd wear it all time. If you give people free shirts, they will wear them.

Another quality suggestion!

Should my fantasy team be called The York Foundation or Gagne's Raiders?

I heard eventually in the mid-2000's with WWE 24/7 when I was in high school. Might it be released by the time I'm in my 40's?

It's all out there minus the WCW Pro Chicago eps. Have only ever seen those on Dailymotion.

It's hard to see WWE ever putting out anything from a non-A show from WWE or WCW or anything aside from various one-off's from many regional companies or anything pre-1984ish. Then we also need to consider the stuff that we don't know they have and the stuff they probably don't even know they have. LBOA had impossible hype to live up to and it didn't live up to it. No one is trashing WWE for it as it's not their fault, but the match was disappointing. People were expecting MOTD level stuff and I'm not even sure if the Ole Anderson vs Ellering match after wasn't better.

Yep. You will get the footage if it's out there because someone will want to make money. WWE hasn't even released years of 80's Superstars yet which was only second to the Attitude era.

It depends on what you want. It's great if you were a WWF or WCW fan. You're screwed if you were a fan of anything else.

We have: - Memphis from 1982-end. 2 guys basically gave us most of the footage, one from vhs home recordings. We have complete seasons and almost complete seasons for near 20 years of Memphis. - WWE aired some of early 80's WWF Championship Wrestling on British Networks that no one else had seen - Tons of various WWF/NWA seasons from people like landy, bottomlessjack and wrestlingclassics. We have pretty much everything minus All American/Spotlight, which were recap shows. - Ginnetty gave us a ton of rare Puro including the famous Sato/Kandori shoot - Bottomlessjacks' 100 Disk GWF and WWC collections - Watts' various UWF/MS releases giving us most of the run - The WCCW Supersets and the full run of Legends of World Class, which was 100+ disks - International Superstars of Wrestling from the WWF which had a bunch of rare stuff.

Tape traders have done an excellent job of releasing stuff. No edits, no blurs, no music issues, just footage as it aired. There's full seasons for so much stuff that we may get in another 5-10 years on the network. There's so much WWE stuff that WWE has they haven't released anywhere. Pretty much all non-Primetime WWF 80's stuff and before..and even the Primetime releases are missing tons of episodes.

WCW at least had the footage as they aired clips from Omni house shows often, so there's a chance.

I listen to a lot of Cornette stuff and he gets asked that shit all the time.

Get it right if you're gonna troll. JC pushed him and recognized his talent, but the weight loss and his dangerous matches were the issues. WWE loved Doane and Mondo was a really good face in ROH.

Cornette was the one who was pushing Owens. His issue was that Owens wouldn't lose weight, which increased his chance of injury. I'm sure Cornette is happy for him and agrees that he can be star.

Cornette never said Owens wasn't talented. In fact he talked a lot about how good he was. He just wanted him to lose weight to avoid further injury, which he refused to do. I'm sure he's happy for him.

Low-Ki is Low-Ki's biggest enemy. He was just as talented as the Punk/Joe/AJ/DB crew and fell off the planet while they became superstars. I'm one of his biggest fans but he fucked himself over.

I would like to remind you of Daniel Bryan's first few years in WWE where he was consistently portrayed as a goat, nerd and a complete loser by a company that was promoting him. Miz did headline possibly the worst Mania of all time... I don't know if I ever met Miz. I'm sure he's fine for the most part in person as most people are providing you catch them on a good day. I'm not questioning his character, just his in-ring work. Mickie James is one of the nicest wrestlers I know, and I have no interest in watching her matches. Meanwhile, Arn Anderson is a total asshole and I look forward to his stuff. It also comes down to old school wrestling vs current wrestling and where you stand on it. Miz is the emphasis of what WWE looks for in a wrestler. Daniel Bryan is the emphasis of what the IWC looks for in a wrestler. People are pissing their pants over the brand that promotes DB's style(NXT) and The Miz's style(WWE) is getting some of the worst ratings ever.

I'm sure it was a work, but one or the other hit a haymaker and it got into a bit of a shoot. DB had to work hard to get here, and even then, WWE ignored him during his best years. He was the most over person in the company and THEY TRIED TO TURN HIM HEEL. Meanwhile, Miz did a reality show and got a shot. Put the other in the other's shoes and it doesn't happen the same way. Miz hasn't been injured, but Miz also doesn't work main events. He works 5-10 midcard matches. No reason to go out of your way in a throwaway. Meanwhile, DB has been expected to produce top quality matches for almost 15 years. I can't think of 5 good Miz matches off the top of my head but I could name double that in Daniel Bryan matches.

Prince Iaukea will always be my Prince...and the rightful warden of the South-Pacific.

The Korakuen floors are rock hard too.

I thought you were going to talk about football now? And you'd never get that net gain off of a $1 million dollar loan in a thousand lifetimes. You'd stop at one fail. Trump is doing us all a public service by becoming president. Now let's go back to football.

500+ businesses, 6 fails. Pretty good numbers. $4+ billion net gain. You'd take a fraction of that in a second, I'd settle for 251 successes to 249 fails personally.
