They made Johnny V drop the Valiant name because Jimmy was so prominent in JCP. Vince was a Graham brothers mark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he was undercover Boogie Woogie Man fan and he was heartbroken that the boy from New York City never came back? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbarrie Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Jeri-Show is certainly an interesting inclusion. They only had two title reigns (not a lot for the era they were active in), weren't around very long, and while I'm not sure what "cultural significance" is exactly I doubt they had much as a team. And, of course, both guys now work for the competition. I can buy that WWE doesn't sweat AEW enough to under-rate people just because they work there, but it seems odd that they'd over-rate two AEW workers.

I can buy that WWE doesn't sweat AEW enough to under-rate people just because they work there, but it seems odd that they'd over-rate two AEW workers. I think they both fall into that "they need to be on the list somewhere" Show had 4 different title reigns with 3 different partners - this was the most "meaningful" (Plus - they probably wanted to keep duplications to a minimum let alone put Kane on the list 3 times) Jericho had 7 title reigns so it was probably a "he technically a really good tag wrestler so maybe he should be on" Yes - I have this weird need to understand WWE's logic (no matter how baffling) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 The deal with Jeri-Show is that they elevated the belts to main event level for a few months, which is pretty rare in the entire history of the company. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince is a lot less Mr. Burns and more Grandpa Simpson these days I imagine. Vince should hang out with my dad, who still goes on about getting a B movie, an A movie and a cartoon for a dime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe they would have been on as "The Wyatt Family" instead I think they would have been on just because they were a team that spent a good amount of years together. That said, I'm not sure they would have been on as high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shartnado Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 6 hours ago, Wyld Samurai said: I think The Smoking Gunn's and The Headshrinkers are vastly undervalued in this. Both teams held up the tag division in the New Generation era. If you look at the list of teams that Gunns beat during their run, kayfabe-wise that is a hell of a bunch of established teams. They have wins over Public Enemy, Rock N Roll Express, Heavenly Bodies, Bruise Brothers and others who only stayed long enough to put Gunns over. That's pretty impressive.

In addition to the other, very good, points raised about them; Jeri-Show, particularly Jericho, revived the "wear a suit with the title belt" look. This isn't to say that people weren't doing it before, just that following them, there was a spike in the number of people with title belts who were walking around in suits on WWE TV.

Casey Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 XPW is apparently making a comeback in November and I guess Marty Scurll is a part of it. Seems appropriate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
