Curt McGirt Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Watching NXT today I was thinking the same thing, only about Keith Lee instead of WALTER. I think either of them could be instant longstanding champions if they were given the belt though that won't happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITV are terrible. Plus they nearly killed my football team and a bunch of others that one time they decided there was money to be made in screening second tier matches. This is fine, I watch AEW on Fite TV anyways, but cheers for the heads up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if he's motivated. The visual of WALTER taking dozens of german suplexes is enough for me to veto such a match under WWE spotlights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Hennig, one of my faves ever, return and get so far was a great moment, I wish he'd stuck around. I didn't see that RR when it happened but it got him and Golddust rehired. I watched it much later on but the next night on RAW he was used as a top guy he had a match with Austin. I was so happy to see him back in WWF with his Mr Perfect theme. He was made like a big deal that night and the next Smackdown then he was back on the mid card until he got released after the plane ride from hell. He was over, they even did vignettes of him again . It was surreal seeing him on equal footing with Angle and Austin and Hunter in that Rumble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyld Samurai Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I just rewatched the 30/30 of Ric Flair. Is it fair to say that Ric is a bigger name now in pop culture than when he was on top of the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 80s, you likely had lots of wrestling fans who only watched wwf and didnt know flair or Dusty until they went there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it fair to say that Ric is a bigger name now in pop culture than when he was on top of the world? I’m honestly not quite sure. Like @odessasteps said I was one of those who only knew Flair, and Dusty when they were in the WWF. But I was only 4 when Dusty wore the polka dots, and 6 when Flair terrorized the top stars of the WWF. I didn’t really veer off of what I knew about, and I most likely knew the WWF more because they would squarely advertise to my age range. Superman, Mickey Mouse, Robocop, and Hulk Hogan represented my childhood Mount Rushmore. When I first found out the existence of WCW was seeing a cheap set of stamps for kids(that included Flair in the set) in a grocery store aisle. And this was after Flair had appeared on WWF TV, so these things were pretty dated at this point. I figured at that time that WCW were the college equivalent to Pro Wrestling. It wasn’t until Hogan went there that I realized it wasn’t. But I’m sure there was a large segment of the population that knew the existence of WCW judging from the big crowds they would draw even prior to Hogan going there.

The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection DVD helped too(No matter how small the sample size was) when it came to understanding what kind of wrestler Flair was, and why he was so revered.

With NWA/WCW being a Turner company it could've happened decades ago but outside of Ted Turner himself they could care less about Wrestling. He could've been on the same level as Michael Jordan or Charles Barkley at least pop culture wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I think everyone doing a Destroyer or Code Red or cutter variation is what annoys me the most. Everyone was doing superkicks, then it was tope suicidas, and now it's these three moves that everyone does. It also reminds me of when Elix Skipper started doing the Play of the Day and then a bunch of dudes started doing the same finisher or variations of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
