Craig H Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I did. I blocked most of it out I guess. I thought that might have been Chavo and I was going to guess the Wall, but I was only sure about the top 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Just a quick WCWism to point out in that post: MIA was formed when Bischoff and Russo started working together in April 2000. So of course that poster has the old WCW logo that had stopped being used a year earlier on it. Man, I hated that WCW star logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mind the Invasion-era one you posted as much, but i can't really count that since it's a WWF creation. I'm not even sure I liked the OG logo that much, but one thing I did like is how they adapted the colors differently for Nitro, Saturday Night, PPVs, Worldwide, Pro etc. Just a little thing that I always liked. Even the simple black and white WCW/nWo logo looked good on all the 98 PPVs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I liked The Wall as Malice in the early NWA:TNA days with Jim Mitchell as his manager. Sad that he was only 36 when he passed away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many guys who had the look or the work but couldn't talk would have benefitted tremendously from him over the years. Id love to see him with a young team somewhere, something Ellering/AOP-esque maybe. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Some of my time travel "dream" matches: 2004-05 Samoa Joe vs. 2007-ish John Cena early 2000's Hiroyoshi "He's sorta our ace. Really" Tenzan vs. the Undertaker heel Samoa Joe vs. early 90's Surfer Sting Steiners vs. War Machine I'll second Cena vs. Vader Tanahasi vs. Cena late 2000's before they started breaking down physically long-haired Triple H vs. 2003-ish AJPW champ Satoshi Kojima Hollywood Hogan vs. Cena Umaga vs, Sting Young Bucks (heel) vs. Rock n Roll Express Scott Norton vs. Braun Stroman Braun Stroman vs. Goldberg (match wouldn't be much, but visual of Goldberg getting Braun up for the jackhammer would be awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Who is under the hood as Suicide these days? Don’t watch Impact so I’ve no idea if he’s still there, but I see him popping up on Indy shows recently. Including the one I’m watching right now, in a match including Dan Maff *and* Jimmy Rave...

NikoBaltimore Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Just want to thank all the fine folks giving awesome matchup ideas. I can't wait to fire up Fire Pro and try them out. As for matchups going back in time I'd do a Survivor Series tag match with the Revival and Brainbusters on one side. On the other you have The Rockers and American Alpha (NXT version of course) Give them time and you have the makings of an instant classic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seeing that Jimmy Rave is still around and working after all he's been through makes me happy. Throwing toilet paper at him was always fun during the Embassy days. I loved his post-Embassy run when he started using the heel hook and "House of the Rising Sun" as his theme. He was getting more and more face reactions in 2007 before he got injured again and quit ROH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 1988 Randy Savage vs 1992 Cactus Jack, Falls Count Anywhere. I just can't see Savage allowing Foley to upstage him on the bumping front, I just can't see how he tops him either. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Say what you will about the MIA, they were over as hell, put on some great multi man openers to the PPV, somehow managed to get Bill Demott over as a top babyface, and led to a very forgotten Chavo run as the top cruiserweight heel before the company went under. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heel Chavo grounding Shane Helms in their matches was such a good formula. It used to frustrate the crowd, who just wanted to see Shane hit some big aerial moves and a Vertebreaker, so he'd get massive pops on his comebacks when he finally managed to hit his stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
