NOV WRESTLING DISCUSSION

[Curt McGirt]

Ah, Maddox, I had such hope for ye. 

 

It's nice they kept Khali around to collect a paycheck for years but yeah that time has expired. He's set if he saved his money and now maybe his knees will be more of a gelatinous substance instead of the consistency of watered-down oatmeal. 

[Spritenaut 32]

So Khali has to be one of the biggest busts ever right? I mean, maybe not in India.

 

You'd think so, but Meltzer has said that Khali made them enough money in India to justify his salary and roster spot.  So... in an era where hardly anyone actually draws money, Khali probably outdrew almost all the roster. 

[SirSmUgly]

Wow, Beth Phoenix is super cute. Well played, Edge. I didn't even know they were married or had a kid or anything. 

[ebbie]

Beth turned into Christina Applegate real quick.

So Khali has to be one of the biggest busts ever right? I mean, maybe not in India.

He popped the crowd by doing brain chops. Thus proving booking someone to do what they can do is a hell of a lot more effective than making do something they can't do.

[Greggulator]

 

It'd be pretty great if they came back as wrestling's version of the awesome Aimee Mann/Ted Leo pairing known as The Both.

[Greggulator]

WWE.com has a list of "100 Matches You Need To See Before You Die." The DVDVR had one years ago that was great. But this one's pretty awesome, too.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Apathy?

Edit: Does Beth Phoenix do indy dates or anything, or did she completely retire after the company released her (at her request, iirc)?

From what I've figured out in the last 12 hours, it appeared she retired to raise a family with Edge.

It looks like she's preparing to debut her new hipster gimmick..............

Creative might not be able to handle that. They only seem to do sex vixen or crazy.

There's not much WWE creative seems to be able to handle.

They lost me at #1

[hammerva]

Get Khali into some indy monster films quick, before he implodes!

 

Well hopefully it is the Mummy or Frankenstein then because I am not sure he can be used for any mobile monster characters

[Patrick B.]

It'll take me a while to go through the whole list, but I mostly agree with the top ten.

 

I found the Bret-Shawn Ironman disappointing at the time, but that's just me (speaking as someone who was a big fan of both).

[RIPPA]

Just to clarify - the way the story is written is a little misleading since the matches on the list are ones that are available on the Network right now

 

So some things that are omitted are just because they aren't on the Network.

 

Well and that they are stupid but I really don't see the need to get worked up over a WWE list since we already know how they put things together

I was only going to look at the list on here and not on wwe.com, but I had to see how they listed the competitors on #75, given the presence of you know who.  Not shocked to see that they didn't, not that he deserves it, but creative way to avoid identifying him.

Thanks for posting this. I disagree the placements and they left some things off that really should have been on like the Cena/Lesnar matches from this year & Cena/Umaga. Still its a nice list. I'm pleased they found some room for Nattie/Charlotte and a couple of other NXT matches from this year.

Meltz says Brad Maddox is still under contract to WWE, and moving him to the Alumni section is just kayfabe.

I was only going to look at the list on here and not on wwe.com, but I had to see how they listed the competitors on #75, given the presence of you know who.  Not shocked to see that they didn't, not that he deserves it, but creative way to avoid identifying him.

I'd imagine that's why the WM XX main event isn't on there. No way to hide him.

Get Khali into some indy monster films quick, before he implodes!

 

They can't get him in films. He'll be at Raw next week because no one in WWE will be able to explain to him in a way he understands that he's gone.

Cena understands him, remember?

So does Bayley. I believe she learned Punjabi for the specific purpose of communicating with Khali.

That list is alright considering they have to pump up the WWE matches that are typically identified as "the best" to their audience, but also offer enough variety to show off the amount of things you can catch on the Network. 

[RandomAct]

The list isn't bad.  I disagree with #1 but such is life.  Like mentioned above, Cena/Umaga is a glaring omission, as it's a strong contender for match of the 2000s.

22. The 1992 Royal Rumble

 

Why?

[mattdangerously]

Heenan, I would imagine.

[Raziel]

Yes, I agree, way too low.

[RandomAct]

Heenan, I would imagine.

Not to mention that it's still far and away the best one ever.
