The Great ML

Forget Cena going after Flair's number...Jarrett would be going after Lawler's magic number...

I want to say it was a Savage / DiBiase match from their '88 series at MSG.

"You have a kind face, I feel like I could tell you anything. Between me and you, Stan is a ruggedly handsome blonde and I don't think Snuka is on the level about that girl in Allentown..."

ahem, some of you need to revisit how bad XPW commentary was.

"Baba-san, wait'll you fetch a gander at this thing called apartment 'rasslin!"

The last thing I remember seeing Big Fred do was get stuck in a convertible in WXO. Then he showed up for the Gimmick Battle Royal a few months later.

I don't know why, but that finish drove me crazy.

Being a Turner company, they could have picked up something similar from a prop department or something...

Well, it did light up pretty bright...

He would have jobbed to a bottle of sake on Thunder...or maybe not.

Brett Wayne Sawyer?

Why was Bayley acting like a thug....grr...these writers.

...and they wonder why Smilin' Diesel didn't get over.

I love Gorilla Monsoon.

SO PISSED!! The game literally stole the U.S. title from me. I went 330+ days holding the strap, won every match, got my guy to an overall 100...thisclose to completing that Heyman challenge. Hell In A Cell PPV comes up, I have to defend in an Armageddon 6 Man match in the cell. Things are going well, dominating the ring, hitting finishers...everyone in red. I get punched ONCE and have to do that roll out to the floor. New champ crowned. Ugh. What is even more weird is that Kevin Owens got the pinfall on Kofi...but they gave the title to John Cena. Seriously. The worst.

Good...because I was just thrusted to Raw in a Fatal Four Way that includes Triple H and Brock Lesnar...think I might need some assistance.

Can you use weapons in a Fatal Four Way career mode match and not draw a DQ?

Has this already been taken down? All I get is a black screen.

Crazy thing, I hit the home button by mistake on the Roku remote during the middle of a High Flyers vs. Patera / Duncum match...I restarted the app and it took me to Bruiser's Indiana territory vs. Blackjack Lanza. Weird. I guess you can back out if you don't like what is being streamed to something new.

More AWA! Dusty Rhodes / Superstar Graham vs. Baron Von Raschke / Hans Schmidt Brody vs. Blackwell. Larry Z vs. Saito, Superclash 4 AWA Title change A pissed off babyface Saito promo with Tiger Hatori! Larry Z promo with the belt: "Peace and harmony rules the universe of Larry Land!" ....and now we move to Iron Sheik's NWA debut in 1989.

Just picked it up...wow. The Pros: Variety and Obscure The Cons: Some questionable quality of the source material...think if RF Video did a stream from their VHS bootleg comps in 1998. What I've seen thus far: Larry Z nunchaku demonstration, Larry Z vs Greg Gagne, Mad Dog / Brunzell vs. Sheik Adnan / Blackwell, Studd / Blackwell vs. Mad Dog / Crusher. 30 minutes in and I've seen more classic AWA variety than on the Network. Apparently Verne promoted before Shawn started wrestling...

I cannot wait to see a midget in a trash can brought in as a character witness.

The Trial of Dixie Carter should end the same with Bischoff, in a garbage truck.

Ok stupid question... My 7 yr old is begging me to get him 2K17 and he loves Goldberg thanks to the Network. Will Goldberg be available in the game if I don't preorder? Even if I get the accelerator pack / HOF stuff DLC?

I don't remember who it was on the board sometime back...but I totally agree that we missed out on the ascension of Steve Austin as the man and main event heel of the late 90s. We also missed out on his continued epics with Dustin. You could tell they were being groomed as a package up the card, and would have been a credible World Title program. 1994 was soooo good before Hulk and Friends crossed over.
