The question would be then, who was?

Looking over the old DVDVR 500s - Benoit tops most of them. I think, while hindsight is extremely difficult in this instance, that appears largely on reputation from years earlier. Eddy was injured for a large chunk of 2000. Juventud, wow, I'll need to reevaluate, but I doubt anything he was doing in WCW 2000 made that seem realistic. Finlay was working garbage matches with Brian Knobbs. Has Jeff Hardy ever had a good non-gimmick match? Matt Hardy was solid but bland at the time. Regal was working sporadically. Daniels was probably a couple years off seriously contending here.

.....and Joey Abs.

I definitely thought Joey Abs and Sick Boy were the future of the business.

In 1992 who would have believed Vinnie Vegas and Diamond Dallas Page would be future world champions? 

Who knows...if the rumors were true and Sick Boy/Scott Vick came back as Katie's brother out for vengeance, he could've had a main event run. The biz is weird like that.

I didn't realize until just now how old he was when he got on TV.  If he had been ten years younger, they probably could have done a lot more with him.

The Vice Documentary on Vince Mcmahon goes into details about his sex scandal, the two-hour documentary airs on Dec 13th at 9 PM EST.

HBO Real Sports will run their own Vince Mcmahon story after.

When next spring arrives, an unauthorized book about Vince Mcmahon will be published.

If any further details come out, Vince may have to let go of WWE ownership and sell his shares to someone or some people already in the company.

I had my Schivone “that’ll put butts in seats” moment with JBL.

I thought no one would ever buy Bradshaw in that role and definitely couldn’t see him as a multiple world champion.

I mean Prichard and some of the other southern based guys in creative always saw him as the next Stan Hansen. They wouldn't let him do anything else.

Was the Vice doc something that WWE helped produce? I swear there was something coming out like that.

I believe that one was the Bill Simmons doc which had WWE involvement.

That was a Netflix one with Bill Simmons, which may or may not still be in production.

EDIT: Nevermind. Beaten to it.

AEW loves to end pay per views with an angle or surprise.  Would anyone be shocked if MJF or Moxley wins and Punk comes out to confront them?

I can't see CM Punk back in AEW. I'd be very shocked.

Did you expect to see Bret working for Vince again after the double-cross? Pro-wrestling has taught me there's no such word as "never", OED be damned.

Anyone else not feeling AEW or WWE right now?   RAW has a staleness now again..   AEW feels really directionless.   Bloodline and Zayn are entertaining i suppose 

411Mania just posted ticket figures for upcoming AEW and WWE shows, and outside of Pay Per Views, they're both averaging 2000-4000 per show

Both brands lost all their goodwill - I think HHH has a chance to regain it, but Vince dismantled a ton of what he had in place over the last year and it's going to take a lot of time

AEW Dynamite in Chicago next week only has around 5000 tickets out - I wouldn't put it past Tony to have Punk show up at the PPV to goose tickets for Chicago

Well Meltzer claimed (or whomever does his daily updates did) that the Raw I attended recently was in the low 4,000 range. Literally every ticket except for one section of the upper deck was sold and filled. It’s a 9,000 seat arena. So clearly someone’s math was off.

Comps, bruh - even AEW at this point has seat fillers at every televised event

Slowly increasing an interest in what HHH is doing after not watching for the past 3 years.

Slowly declining on AEW. This week was the first time I've been home to watch Dynamite live and chose to watch something else. A show full of Jeff Jarrett, Jay Lethal, Ethan Page and Penta does nothing for me.
