So listening to Grillin Jr about Bret Hart's 1996 and it occurred to me that I would've most likely enjoyed Bret/Shawn at WM12 a lot more if it hadn't been an iron man match. Those two guys on that stage at that point in their careers going 25 minutes would have been preferable to me, and if you had to have a stipulation maybe try best of 3 falls or play off their ladder matches. Personal preference, of course, but 60+ minutes for that finish was a let down and was boring along the way.
So what big matches do you think would've been better without a stip or with a different one?
I’ll submit HHH vs Orton in a straight up wrestling match at 25. Not sure anything gets that crowd back for them, but a bloody arena brawl was certainly the way to go considering the build.

Heath killed it last night, but I don't get the WWE's approach here. If you are going to do the Bret Hart "Monster of the Month" thing with Drew by feuding him with the 2020 equivalents of The Sultan and PCO, then that's a perfectly reasonable strategy while you wait this all out, but Heath with that backstory is a vastly more interesting monster of the month than Ziggler. So either replacing him in this Ziggler feud from the start, or having that be the next feud post-Ziggler makes a lot more sense than what they did IMO. As it is, I don't agree with using this bullet as a one-shot. There was a month story there, and it isn't like Ziggler moves the needle anyway.

OF COURSE the obvious end game here is “the league will be canceled not because of virus numbers, but because of its own incompetence”. I can’t believe I didn’t see that coming.

Or those three in a contest around the world to reel in INTERPOL’s most wanted with big money on the line. The Kayfabin’ Race.

Shit yeah, amazing ad and fantastic card. We even get Sheepherders / Dundee / Valiant for the blood sucking freaks thread.

More offended their discussing Load and Reload
Jericho agreed with my view that Bleeding Me is a criminally underrated all time Metallica track so I thought the pod was great

Surprised by that height difference. Have met H and while a big dude, isn’t 6’4 or anything.

I am down for Steiners vs Murdoch/Slater

Who knew in 2020 Taz would be one of the highlights of a show every week

Even still, something like Outsiders/Taker+Kane, Rock/Hogan, Austin vs. HHH title, Angle vs. Jericho #1 contender is a lot smoother IMO.

18 was all over the place man. People talk about Austin/Hall a lot of "tippy toppy guy wasted", but Kurt/Kane is another one. This roster was absolutely stacked, but the card is a mess.
-
Taz talking shit is great. Other highlights are Britt and Tony's relationship, the return of the Bros (though it seemed someone missed a time queue there) and the final shot.

I was reading an ESPN article on the fall of the XFL and it got me wondering, do we know if Vince has ever considered buying the Harlem Globetrotters or any of the "On Ice" type stuff? I'd think that would fit their traditional business model and logistics better than football. Same arenas, same trucks/lighting, etc.

One of the best and most subtle little storytelling things WWE has ever done was the short segment earlier in the show where Austin LITERALLY looks himself in the mirror, knowing (but the viewer not yet knowing) what he has decided/agreed to do to win the match.

Because it was discussed on the latest Bischoff pod, I went back and rewatched Bash 96 and there's an argument that this might be one of the 10 best PPV's ever and one of the best ever in WCW. The variety of matches, Peak Dusty commentary, but most notably the storytelling throughout. The Horsemen angle that runs throughout the show is amazing, and even little stuff like Luger checking on Bischoff on his way to the ring.
Sting's promo has no place in 2020, and the main event didn't set the world on fire (though Giant was credible as hell), but man what a fucking show. This show, through the Disney parking lot tapings, through BATB, until Hog Wild is probably peak WCW.

I didn't see Raw, but is this going to be one of those things where Charlotte puts Meltzer on blast on social media saying she's not really hurt, all the while she really is?

Montez Ford can frog splash his ass off. Damn.

Fangraphs hates that trade for Raw. You don’t swap a #2 starter for two #4’s. You really need a prospect there on the SD side to sweeten the future value. I’d have balked at this deal unless it included a FV 45 like Mustafa Ali.

Hard to argue keeping Backstage going when it requires a dozen+ people and drew the ratings it was drawing, when recent evidence shows you can just show classic content in that slot. Hate to see people lose their jobs, but that show felt DOA from an economic standpoint from the start.
-
Last Ride was very well made and extremely good, but man, that was depressing as hell and I’m pretty sure that was the point. Taker clearly doesn’t know what he’s looking for but is going to keep going because he won’t know if or when he gets it. It’s basically The Wrestler, about 3-4 years before the death matches against Necro.
