Yeah guys, chill with the monolpoy talk. Nobody in the government gives two shits about pro wrestling. If nobody cared in the 80s when Vince took over the business and nobody cared when he did it again in the early 2000s, nobody will care now either.

Exactly, he would have been a square peg in a round hole during that time. He would have been perfect in the Three Wise Men era of just doing promos for his charges on TV and walking them to the ring at the Garden. If the national expansion wasn't starting at the time Hart could have easily stepped into The Grand Wizard's spot after he passed.
As someone who grew up on WWF, the first time I saw Hart was in his late 80s NWA run. Watching him stand up to Flair during a Flair/Funk match was just bizarre.

A manager who didn't stooge or bump would not have been a good fit for 80s/early 90s WWE.

Jesus only got a 50/50 reaction in most towns. The piped in cheers were really obvious since they were coming from the clouds.

So I guess the WWE buying Ring of Honor rumors are back again.

Hey, just letting you guys know the subject has its own thread

Buy ROH and hand it over to Matt Hardy.

The amount of blasphemy going down here is astounding. I am ashamed to say I laughed at some of the jokes.
I am surprised there was no talk of the lack of a run-in from God for Jesus on Calvary or the Crucifixion being an injury angle where Jesus rests up for the blow-off match in Revelations where he's booked to go over Satan in a squash.

Seriously. ROH is circling the drain and reports that Delerious is in with Joe Koff and thus the booking situation will never change as long as Koff is around don't help matters.
Also, fuck Sinclair. I won't even get into the political part of it but I will say that everyone I ever knew who worked for them told me it is a cheap, awful company.

No matter how may pharisees booed Jesus, he Holy Father never turned him heel, which was a mistake in my opinion. I always thought the Jesus/Satan double turn would have caused a boom period not seen since Abraham was running the territory.

Nitpicking, but Dave always says that ROH "got on" Comet. Comet is Sinclair-owned. Acting like ROH got picked up by a cable network in this case is the same as saying NXT was picked up by WWE Network.

The idea that the nWo almost ended up being the new Dungeon of Doom, just a monster factory to feed to the Hulkster, is amazing.
The boys really are the biggest marks in the building.

No apologies. This happened 15 years ago. I'm "over it".
Don't feel bad about it. The helmet thing was the second thing I thought of, right after the expected reaction of "Jesus Christ that is fucking awful."

JDM's "lean in, lean back, lean way in, lean WAYYYY back" thing is a weird acting choice and looks incredibly dumb. Yes, Negan is an over the top character, but Morgan is actually overdoing it, if that's possible.

I'm still salty over a WWE developmental team working a Tully & Arn tribute act beat Chris Hero after the year Hero had.

Steven Ogg continues to be the best and should have probably just played Negan.

Who's to say TBS would have kept funding WCW if they never got Hogan etc.? They could've been dead within two years instead of seven. Who knows, though, maybe Austin, Foley, and Dustin Rhodes become stars way sooner and they put Vince out of business-- its not out of the realm of possibility. The key thing was not just signing name WWF guys, but making the TV look less shitty and regional. If Bischoff still does that, I think they could've MAYBE had a shot.
Well yeah, that's why I said it was a catch 22. Hogan, etc put them over the top but ended up killing the company.

Hogan joining WCW was the ignition, with Hall and Nash a close second. "Lethal dose of poison" is right. But it's a catch 22. They caused the boom, but their selfishness killed the company.

I haven't heard any pro TNA talk at all. I think he understands his audience enough to know better. He still does the Jerry Jarrett impression...people were apparently worried about that.
Well you know

Reminds me of the story of Vince drag racing Court Bauer after a show and trying to run him off the road. What a nut.
I'd say I'm surprised he still drives himself but maybe Vince isn't allowed in a limo since the Chatterton thing.

Prichard towing the company line is usually easy to let slide since it doesn't impact things too much. Listen to the show enough and you'll figure out how to take the good with the bad. That being said, the Mania 7 and the steroid scandal shows were skippable due to Prichard's insistence on sticking to McMahon's narrative becoming absolutely intolerable. When he's doing things like sticking to the bomb scare story or swearing Meltzer is wrong about the Mania 3 attendance, it's too much.
When they covered No Holds Barred, I really wished they'd addressed the rumor that Vince and Hogan locked themselves in a hotel room with a bunch of coke and rewrote the script.
WWE BUYS THE WORLD~! (or maybe just ROH, some UK feds... I'm sure they would still like TNA's library)
