Highly, highly off topic: 79 other people have Brad Armstrong's sick ass WCW ring music on their 'liked' playlist. All of you are here, correct?

“I don’t see a problem with this”, she says as she discreetly puts that on her workout playlist.

the Heenan Family vs Warrior/Rockers/Neidhart SS89 match posted today on the Vault is a great display of Heenan doing a lot by not doing a lot until the time that it's Heenan vs the Warrior and then Heenan takes some bumps to lose

Like, I think it would get a certain amount of heat if there was a guy who'd go to the top rope and then change his mind and not jump off the top

Going to the top rope and then climbing down was a comedy spot in Michinoku Pro, wasn't it? Like they'd get scared and go down to the middle rope... go to jump off, then get scared again and go to the bottom rope, repeat again, then eventually go for a standing on the mat move, and miss due to taking too long.

I scanned through this and I really wish Arn would have stayed so we could have gotten a Haku & Arn tag team, those two feuding with Demolition and eventually The Hart Foundation would have been grand.

They did team up on some house shows, for what it’s worth - agreed that they would have been an amazing team.

Did they ever team as part of the Stud Stable in WCW? 

According to Cagematch no but apparently cage matches with Dustin Rhodes & Sting and Dustin & Dusty vs Arn and Bunkhouse Buck happened and I've never wanted to see a match more.

I think there’s something there in a heel climbing back down from the buckle and shouting “you gotta buy the pay per view to see that” and doing something more basic instead

the heel's friends putting up curtains to block fans from seeing big moves like they're trying to foil the paparazzi from taking photos

This reminds me of one my favorite things from Akebono matches being Bono threatening to dive and the ref begging him to stop for the sake of everyone.

Something funny about the Al Snow training videos I just watched were a rant from him about why punches were illegal for a reason and only heels should use them behind the ref's back and they should always be used sparingly, and I immediately thought "Jerry Lawler's entire moveset is punches".

Yeah, there was a clip of CoKane throwing powder into his opponent's eyes, and the announcers started screaming that it was a speedball and the opponent 'passed out' immediately. The Dustin Rhodes saw it on twitter and said "Whether that's a shoot or a work, that's in poor taste" (he quickly deleted it).

Because yes, Dustin believes small indies would use legit coke and heroin for a powder in the eyes spot. Not, like, flour.

I mean, Dustin's right about it being poor taste.

But on the other hand, Pro Wrestling?  Poor Taste?  Bit late to object to that.

Yeah, show me an old head criticism and I’ll name 5 old heads who used to do the same or worse.

I always thought Wrestlemania 9 got a bad rap. Not great, but Steiners vs. Headshrinkers is the best match on the show. HBK vs. Tatanka is good for 18 minutes with a countout finish. Bret and Yoko is perfectly fine for the nine minutes that it was. Lots of other stuff that gets shit on, but it could have been so much better.

Ric Flair vs. Hulk Hogan - This is where you do it. Keep Flair around past the Rumble and Hogan goes over.
Bret Hart vs. Mr. Perfect - This or the previous match is the main event. Have the great match that they always had.
Randy Savage vs. Yokozuna - Savage is greatly underutilized after the 92 Survivor Series. He should have had a big match on every PPV. Matches vs. Shawn, Bret, Lex, ect. They really elevated Yoko in about 4-5 months. I keep his momentum going here.
Doink vs. Undertaker - A great dynamic on different ends of the spectrum.
Steiners vs. Money Inc. - Never had a big match on a PPV
Lex Luger vs. Bob Backlund or Tito Santana. Quick win for Lex to build him up along the way for Bret. Maybe at King of the Ring.
Razor Ramon vs. Jerry Lawler
Owen Hart vs. Rick Martel - Neidhart got fired a month later. Could have had a tag match here.


Ideally, you have Hogan vs. Bret at Summerslam that never materialized. Keep building Yoko and Luger as future Bret opponents. Bret should have held the title much longer than he did. Luger doesn't turn babyface so quickly as he fizzles out. Things were on the decline in 93, but WWF didn't put their best forward.

[dark:  Marty & Nastys vs Skinner & Beverlys.  Plug in Virgil if Marty Martys too much to make it to the show]

Headshrinkers vs Tito & Backlund

Tatanka vs HBK stays too (I'd probably do a title change too, see what Tatanka's got, if he bombs as champ HBK can always win it back, he'd be a fine First Loss)

keep Crush vs Doink but reverse the result (however far he might otherwise have gotten, losing his first feature feud killed him as a face)

Razor vs Owen

Steiners vs Money Inc (definite title switch:  Ted is running on fumes at this point)

Martel vs Kamala [time permitting, popcorn/intermission match]

Luger vs Perfect stays as is

Undertaker vs Bam Bam is the same story they were doing with Gonzales, but with a much better/worthier wrestler.

Yoko vs Earthquake [squash, needed cooler between Taker and the main]

after two title switches in the undercard to establish a pattern, break the pattern with a Bret successful defense against Savage. 

[Hogan, if still returning, is hopefully amenable to being guest ref for the main and endorsing Bret/torch passing without asking him to lose a match]

Those ideas sound lovely for WM9.  I just wanted to add that while WM9 isn't as bad as others make it out to be if one still feels that way they should watch Survivor Series '93.  Goodness me that was putrid.
