  1. Just figured I would make a return post here. I'm DEFINITELY getting the Best Of War Games!!! As i'm hoping there will be some unreleased War Games matches from the 1988 Great American Bash Tour, as there were quite a few, actually at least 12 that summer at House Shows, which NWA/WCW taped, and which now the WWE has in their Video library. See the schedule for yourselves. http://www.wwedvdnews.com/full-wwe-dvd-2013-schedule-history-of-wwe-raw-20-nitro-bret-hart-more/26724/

  3. Interview with Barry Windham from 2 weeks ago: Just wanted to say that apperently Barry Windham suffered either a heart attack or a stroke and is in critical condition recently. Damn that really sucks. A lot of wrestling fans just don't know how great and underrated he was because he didn't have the WWF/WWE hype machine and marketing behind him for most of his career. For those that do know how GREAT and underrated he was, we were all very lucky to get to see him perform and wrestle for many years. Truly one of the great, and REAL legends the wrestling business ever had. Proud to say I met him in 2009. One of the nicest guys and wrestlers you'll ever meet. I would just like to say, do yourselves all a favor and watch the Ric Flair vs Barry Windham matches from 1987 from World Wide, or that heavily edited Crockett Cup '87 match, unless you can find the raw footage one. The Crockett Cup '87 one is one of the GREATEST matches i've ever seen, and was edge of your seat stuff. Sorry if i'm talking like he's no longer with us. This is just my tribute to him. Just giving credit where it's due. Barry, get well soon, and best wishes!!! 4 Horsemen for life!!!

  5. Vince Russo out as head writer and Bruce Prichard in and will have final say on scripts from now on. Vince Russo will remain on the creative team though. Not sure how Prichard will do, but ANYONE at this point is a better option than Vince Russo. THANK GOD!!!

  7. You're preaching to the choir. I heard they actually want to re-vamp the tag team division. It will NEVER be the tag division of 1985-1989 with what you had in the WWF and NWA/WCW, and in wrestling in general, but i'm on board with them trying to re-vamp the tag team division. Don't know what they'd do exactly. But hopefully that means hiring or going after tag teams that have been tagging together on a regular basis from ROH, or the indy's. As long as it improves, I guess.

  9. In honor of Ric Flair and Sting continuing their neverendng rivalry tonight, I want to post Ric Flair and Sting's first few encounters from all the way back in January of 1988. This is the stuff why Sting is a household name today. This is the stuff that propelled or made Sting from midcarder to main eventer. Enjoy!!! Sting confronts the Horsemen: Sting confronts the Horsemen, more footage at the end: [video=youtube;UYeql4v9x-c] Follow up: Never call out Ric Flair!!! Ric Flair-Sting confrontation, which includes a very funny line from Flair near the end before the altercation. "what kind of name is Sting?": I would've uploaded or linked up their Clash Of The Champions I match, the one that made Sting a star, but unfortunately I couldn't find any decent length videos on YouTube, only in different parts, which would've been a pain in the ass. But these videos will give you the gist of it, and how the Ric Flair-Sting feud started. Instead i'll link up the Tag Team title match from that same event. Arn Anderson & Tully Blanchard vs Lex Luger & Barry Windham. The titles switch hands to a tremendous pop as Luger & Windham win the tag titles here. Even if you don't watch the whole match, fast foward to 12:47 to see the conclusion, and see the fans go crazy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnpkjiyS1tY Ric Flair-Sting..... Still going strong after all these years!!! Btw, Sting is VERY green in these videos as you could tell lol.

  11. O'Haire had a GREAT look. Looked very evil. Him and Palumbo were starting to get over near the end of WCW. Too little, too late though. WCW was starting to do A LOT of things or, rather, small things correctly near the end of WCW. Whether or not O'Haire and Palumbo was one of them is debateable. But they were however finally, it seemed like pushing the right talent, and pushing the young guys finally.

  13. And here is one of the, if not the biggest reason why the potential to be, or should I say, SHOULD'VE been the GREATEST/BIGGEST storyline ever/of all time, as it could've wrote itself out, and was 25 years in the making (NWA vs WWF and of course WCW vs WWF), and was instead the biggest storyline EVER where the ball was dropped and could've made the WWF/WWE millions, if not, billions of money, where they could've kept both the WWF/WWE and NWA/WCW fan tuning in each week, and still milking it and living off of that today. Anyway, was anyone really shocked when Vince decided to bury WCW, and any and ALL of it's talent? They even had the referees be burried, and f'n Nick Patrick was even forced to job to Earl Hebner at the "Invasion". I knew from day 1 when WCW, or NWA/WCW got bought out by the WWF/WWE that they would just throw it in the garbage can, and that it was bad for wrestling in general and as a business. It's still suffering today 10 years later. Hell it's the ONLY reason why wrestling will probably never see another boom period where two companies are thriving. People think wrestling is cyclical, or it goes in "cycles", to which I say bullshit. If it really went in cycles, it would've came already. Wrestling will only see another boom period when Vince or the WWE decides to actually make SOME compelling TV. Which I think the CM Punk stuff is on the right track and hasd done. But that's only for the WWE. I think Dixie Carter should clean house. I already hear that TNA is bleeding money. They couldn't even pay Jimmy Yang for god sakes, as his check bounced, and he STILL hasn't been paid from when he last appeared, 7 weeks ago. Get rid of Russo already. You know the guy that Dixie, for reasons beyond my comprehension, REFUSES to fire. :confused: Hogan and Bischoff haven't really helped at all. I think the sooner they get out of there, or leave, the better. But anyway, back to my original point, there will only be another boom period in wrestling when these companies or promotions stop being lazy, get some real bookers, or writers, (i'm looking at you TNA), and get some non-generic talent that doesn't look like a Randy Orton FRAT BOY lookalike that isn't bland or boring. (i'm looking at you WWE. Actually now that I think about it your "writers" suck too!!! But at least you're producing some sort of compelling TV with this CM Punk stuff and genuinely has me interested in part of your product. Although you probably have nothing to do with it anyway. It's mainly due to the creative freedom CM Punk has been allowed to have.) Hope you enjoy the video I linked up of Raven talking about why the "Invasion" failed, and helped piss off the few WCW fans that actually continued, or actually tried to continue watching WWF/WWE programming once WCW was bought out. Vince ALWAYS has to be the one who has to be superior and the one with the bigger dick in the room. I couldn't agree more. Well said, Raven. Well said.

  15. ROFL @ the CM Punk-Nash verbal exchange from RAW. "OMG, WTF, Kevin Nash?! Thought he was dead LOL!!!" Also the part about CM Punk saying Nash jumping off a bridge would be good for business was hilarious too IMO.
