Harley Race is the answer. Led two guys to the top. Stayed loyal to both. Apparently throws great barbecues.

3. The Silverdome in New Orleans
It's the Superdome, Mr. Hogan.
And add the Sam Houston Coliseum in Houston to the list. It was demolished years ago, though.

Okay, to flip your point that's like saying Genesis was a Phil Collins thing cause he was lead singer and a songwriter... when it wasn't.
Read any interview or retrospective about Screaming Trees and you'll see it was definitely a Conner Brothers thing. Hence focusing on Lanegan's solo work where it was undoubtedly his. Looking at Screaming Trees would inform how he grew as an artist no doubt, but so would looking at QOTSA, Soulsavers, Gutter Twins, Isobel Campbell albums...
So a guy who was a collaborator on all the important creative aspects of the band's music really wasn't an important part of the band?
-
"Screaming Trees was never a Lanegan thing"? The fuck? He was the lead singer and one of the principal songwriters.
-
You should give more time to Screaming Trees. They made some really terrific records.
-
They didn't drop the ball with Ryder. They gave him a push and it became obvious he wasn't good enough to be more than a JTTS.
-
So Roman Reigns wrestled Randy Orton in a cage match in Glasgow, and apparently there was a botched spot, and this was the result.
He's the only Samoan who actually gets hurt when someone headbutts him.

Alicia Fox working the Brian Pillman gimmick could be interesting.
-
Oh, and they need to try and talk Reigns into adding the triple jump moonsault to his moveset. Just because.
-
First one to the performance center needs to make sure they ask for a copy of the Tom Magee vs Bret Hart match.
-
Yeah, that wasn't a war, that was a border skirmish at best.
That was more like the wrestling equivalent of Robin Ventura charging the mound against Nolan Ryan.

Okay - since I so dont pay attention to the indies anymore - who runs CWF?
I am just trying to figure out who can afford to book Matt Hardy/Hurricane Helms vs. Carlito/Chris Masters and Sonjay Dutt vs. John Morrison
Or is it someone who can get a lot of guys working cheaper as a favor
I don't know who runs CWF, but the show you're talking about appears to be connected to a wrestling convention being promoted by a sports memorabilia and promotions company that's probably covering a lot of the costs.

Hunico is deceptively strong for his size. I have no trouble believing he could whoop at least half the active roster.
-
I think I can take Jason Hervey. And, based on some of the stories in this thread, possibly Sheamus.
-
Barrett wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire before they gave him the gimmick, though. Sometimes it's all about the opportunities you're given.
-
I almost feel like Dean was lying about all that paperwork. Perhaps he was too distracted by the titties he had to master. I mean look around backstage...Layla...Lana...Big E...
Ya'll know Lana did nude scenes when she was an actress, right?

The look on the horse's face is the best thing ever.

Are you trying to get this thread locked? We're not that far removed from all that "kissing penises" talk.

I wish Mikey had been brought in with Tajiri when ECW folded. The Unholy Alliance vs Edge & Christian in 2001 would have been a blast.

I hate that spot where a guy is laying on the middle rope, hanging on to the top rope waiting for someone to drop a leg on him. But I've seen it done where a guy was getting into the ring and someone just pounced him and it was perfect. I can't remember who or when it was.What are some spots or moves that you guys dislike, but there's one example that you think looks amazing? Example: as a general rule, I dislike the Flatliner, but Bray Wyatt's version looks awesome. I think it's because too often, it doesn't look impactful, or when it does, it's not match ending. I've seen versions just like his that look like they should lay a guy out, but the guy gets back up, or it's used as a transition move. I dislike that, but the few times I've seen Bray use it (full disclosure, I don't have tv or Internet at my house, so I only watch wrestling when I'm somewhere with wifi I can use), it looks deadly. Are there other moves like that out there that you feel that way about? And not necessarily a specific wrestler doing them, it could just be a specific way of applying the hold or performing the move that you don't feel is done enough
There was a match on Hardcore TV in 96 between Mikey and Sabu where they did that spot and instead of just laying there like a goof while Sabu got into position, Mikey sold it like he was struggling to regain his balance and use the ropes to pull himself right side up. It still looked contrived, but not nearly as awful as normal.
p.s. Mikey Whipwreck was awesome.

Thought the cage match was terrible. I hate escape-the-cage rules, and it is a scientific fact that Owen vs Bret at Summerslam is the only good match under those rules. I don't mind the ending with the creepy kid, but Cena looked like a friggin idiot for constantly trying to climb out of the cage with Rowan and Harper out there when he could have just tried to pin Wyatt.
Evolution vs. Shield was tremendous. I almost feel bad for the poor guy who's going to have to put together the inevitable Shield DVD. How did you pick only 7 hours for a team that's capable of putting on MOTYCs on a nightly basis?

I dunno, I have visions of Lesnar doing the F5 on a shark followed by a little person blowing up a boat.
You say that like it wouldn't be amazing.
-
New Jack vs Cena would be interesting, but Vader in his prime vs Lesnar in his prime would demolish the space time continuum.

Nah, pretty sure barbecues at Harley's place were a regular thing anytime WCW and the WWF came to town back in the day. I know I heard someone else talk about them before Punk.
