Wyld Samurai Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I was thinking about Shane Douglas in ECW. I can't think of anybody that liked him. MIZ is in a sense a Shane Douglas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattdangerously Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm not sure Jericho wasn't just poking fun. Jericho has some old school tendencies, but I don't know if he'd get that wound up over someone lifting his move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my lifetime- its hard to top Michael PS Hayes in Texas. I know the "Attitude era" (hate that term) is over-discussed and overexposed/over-emphasized by WWE, but my pick has to be Vince. The guy pissed his pants on live television! Actually, now that I think about it, another answer along the same lines would be Bischoff. I always hated his character-- and I was a die hard NWO fan at that age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm a big Franchise in ECW fan but his best stuff was his mic work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdangerously Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Douglas in ECW was too self-indulgent. Was anyone really clamoring for his Barely Legal match with Pitbull 2 to go 20+ minutes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had matches drop from 86 with the Guerreros and Bruise Brothers (Mad Dog Boyd version, as super babyfaces) and Taylor/Doc lately. The heat on the Guerreros match is off the charts. There are still Doc/Dibiase and Fantastics matches that haven't dropped yet. Since they have posted parts of the UWF heavyweight tournament from May 30, 1986, it's likely that we'll get the barbed wire steel cage match with the Fantastics at some point.

Arn Anderson is literally the exact opposite of the right answer. I've never seen a match in my life where I wanted Arn to get his ass kicked. Tully Blanchard? That was a little shit who was begging for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The line-up seems a bit lackluster. Tyler Bate, Trent Seven and Pete Dunne are the only major names in this in my opinion, a few others who are alright. If it's true that the WWE has control over those guys bookings and can tell them where not to work from that point forward, that would explain that.

Bustronaut Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Finally a non-terrible version of that belt! I was expecting the usual giant WW with a Union Jack in the background. Man, that globe behind the WW on the side plates gives it a much better look, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Frankly, considering the current UK scene, I can't figure anyone that they could put that thing on better than 60-something year old Steve Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
