Meltzer had an anecdote on the last show about how Vince didn't make a play for Sting earlier because he just didn't think Sting was a big deal. The point was the Vince simply could not comprehend that anyone (and this also relates to Goldberg) could be that over without ever being in WWE. Can you imagine the sheer level of self-delusion necessary for that kind of mindset? Like it just did not compute in Vince's head that, if someone was not in WWE/F, he could still be huge and popular with the fans. It's amazing.
I always thought it was just a line when Vince said WCW beat them for so long only because they hired ex WWE guys. But holy shit, Vince really believes that. Damn.

Seeing Dan Matha's acne body last night made me wonder... What are some of the worst aspects of WWE going HD?
Shawn Michaels' bald spot? Jerry Lawler's orange shoe-leather face? More obvious whiffed/open-hand strikes?
I remember the first match of the "HD Era" was Kennedy vs Michaels and both guys, I guess worried about looking pale in HD, cranked the spray tan up to 11. They looked like Trump & Hogan had babies and after the match the ring looked like a Cheeto factory exploded.

Well wrestling Twitter (the ones of it that I trust) - says that the early reports are that Dixie completely dicked Corgan over and negotiated with the WWE separately and didn't even let him know that she was doing it
Wow. I don't throw around the C word when describing women but Dixie makes that a tough rule to stick to

Stage parents continue to be the worst. 'Stranger Things' Star's Father Demands Cash From Agents to Represent Her I can see this girl's career going down the crapper fast due to crazy parents, like this generation's Thora Birch. Yes, you're hot now, but that shit fades fast and the next big thing is a dime a dozen in Hollywood, especially where child actors are concerned.

I haven't watched the show yet, maybe tonight, but the reversal seems like a good idea. I mean, come on, "we should be wary of technology" is such a worn out old trope. The machines won already, guys.

Stephanie or Dana: which looks more like a Mortal Kombat character?

Not specifically rings, but it was always cool to watch old WWF Coliseum videos and be able to take one look at the arena and be able to tell what city they were in. Boston Garden always had the short walkway and those shitty wooden steps, Toronto had the elevated ramp, etc. Now because of "branding" and the misguided aim for consistency, everything looks the same.

The plan was always Michaels/Hart for WMXII, so I'd assume HBK would have lost the title at some point to somebody

Possibly an apocryphal story, but it's hilarious to me that NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol was to blame for WWF's hard rings of the mid-80s through late 90s. Apparently, when WWF and Ebersol were ramping up to the first Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC, he didn't like how springy and fake the old rings looked on TV, so they were rebuilt with far less give.
The late 90s rollout of softer rings and Vince McMahon starting to take more bumps happened around the same time but that's probably unrelated.

Now is the time, guys. Let's pool our money and get apartment wrestling on POP.

Bad opinion that I should feel bad about? I watched the Last Battle of Atlanta and thought it was pretty dull.
In that match, there any rhyme or reason to when the announcer counts vs not counting, by the way?
I also started the hidden gem Windham vs Flair match and got all misty for the good old days. I know I mentioned him before, but that announcer (Tom Miller, maybe?) was the fucking best.

I thought it was "The 9th Mayor" of Suplex City at first, so I wondered who the prior 8 were. I mean probably Taz was in there someplace. Iron Sheik had a sweet side salto suplex back in the day, so maybe.
I hear Jeff Cobb may give him a run for the 10th mayor spot in '17.
Does Gordon Solie call it Suplay City?
