RIPPA Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 6 minutes ago, PetrolCB said: Why isn't Sid in the Hall of Fame yet? Does he have beef with the company? As of at least two years ago - Sid said he didn't want to go into the Hall of Fame because he thought he could still come back as a manager. (Part of this he feels like he needs to "earn" his place in the Hall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I can't see any ideal situation where could be a manager. I mean, he COULD be a great mouthpiece. But Sid's charm is him being Sid, not scripted promos. I'd say he's earned his spot in the HoF. Multiple time world champ, star in both companies in 3 eras. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Sid managing normal sized guys seems as silly as Ron managing the Stud Stable, being almost a foot taller than some of his crew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 For the record, Sid has to be inducted when they allow some fans back. 10 mins of him walking around, fist bumping people. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Patrick is out here taller than 75% of the WCW roster. At least with managers, they're not standing side by side DURING the match. Matter of fact, Mike Atkins (Nick's brother in law/Jody's son in law) was tall too for a ref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetrolCB Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) The softball joke is always there with Sid, but I wanna see footage of this dude in the field and at the plate. Dream home run derby: Sid vs Savage. Macho could rake. We all saw those clips from that game during festivites from The SummerSlam '94.

I think most people here have a damned good reason to hate Colon (and I think you know what I'm referring to). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince heads off to that giant steak wrap shop in the sky. Company is purchased outright by NBCU or Fox. HHH and Steph probably cash out because it's a pain in the ass to deal with and they have kids and money and why do this shit anymore? The reigns are turned over to non-wrestling TV people who don't care as much about it and see it as another thing in a massive portfolio. It becomes just another TV show, and is eventually cancelled because the ratings are too low, it's too much of a headache to manage, those in charge don't exactly get it or care all that much, or some combination of all of the above. Just like WCW, as soon as a wrestling company's fate is in the hands on non-wrestling people, it's just a matter of time. 3 hours ago, RIPPA said: I read it and mentioned it in the Network thread Basically its PWI making the leap that they are censoring everything when the only two instances they found where Piper/Brown and Vince dropping the N bomb Again - it is fairly easy to see why Peacock would want those gone.

Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Watching Khali made me feel sad the same way that I feel sad when I see a stray dog on the street. I don't want to feel sad watching wrestling. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I actually think a WWE that was run professionally and not by weird old man fiat could potentially do very well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coming from a perspective where they wouldn't want HHH in charge because he doesn't have a MBA (Meltzer has mentioned this) and I'm guessing they wouldn't want Steph either, with her lack of track record. I forget what her degree is, but I don't think a major TV company would put someone like that in such a position. She has on company on her whole resume and that was a job her dad gave her.
