Scott Norton was awesome though. Stevie Ray, not so much.
WCW really must've had a ton of cost overruns.
Yet they couldn't pay to have security to stop people from throwing shit into the ring.
It didn't matter, for all intents and purposes Turner had infinite money.
Which is why it all came crashing down when he left Time Warner.

Turner didn't even leave Time Warner. He was forced out of power in the stupid ass AOL Time Warner merger that should have never been allowed to happen. Once Turner got forced out, no more wrestling.

No. Vince was his boss. And even if they DID fight, Vince would've gone over.

They killed off Bischoff by having Vince throw Bischoff into a dumpster. That's all you need to know. I think he showed up one more time later to promote his book and that was it for him.
Well, I was trying to put it a bit nicer than that. Ha

Tommaso Ciampa has had a hell of a year as 'The Crown Jewel' of Prince Nana's Embassy. Since joining ROH his 'Project Ciampa' finisher, where he delivers a powerbomb to his opponent across his own knees, has led him to an undefeated streak against some of ROH's best competitors. But now, at Final Battle 2011, he will face his toughest test yet, and the one man who knows all of The Embassy's tricks and tactics; Jimmy Rave, the former 'Crown Jewel' of Nana's Embassy. Rave is a long time ROH veteran, starting out with the company way back in 2003, but his ROhttp://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii52/bumblebrat/477967761.jpgH career ended in 2009 after a bloody dog-collar match against The Necro Butcher. Now, more mature and more focussed than ever, Rave seeks redemption in the company where he made his name, but Ciampa's aggression and Nana's manipulations will not be easy obstacles to overcome.
Jimmy Rave on his return to ROH
Another man who has had a fantastic 2011 is 'The House of Truth' member 'Unbreakable' Michael Elgin, who made an immediate impact in late 2010 by joining with Truth Martini and his House of Truth faction. Elgin's impressive size and unmatchable strength make him one of the toughest competitors in ROH, and with Truth Martini at his side he's gone on to defeat some of ROH's best wrestlers and in turn win the annual 'Survival of the Fittest' tournament, earning himself a future title shot. But while Elgin looks to keep his momentum going, he faces a tough test in TJ Perkins, a versatile and exciting young wrestler who has wrestled the world over against some of wrestling's very best and is now looking to make a name for himself in ROH.

Ring of Honor prides itself on having one of the, if not the most, varied tag team division in wrestling, and the Tag Team Gauntlet match is sure to provide all the innovative, fast-paced, high-flying tag team action that has been a staple of ROH since the very first show back in 2002. The winner's of the Gauntlet will earn a future title shot at the World Tag Champs, so everything is on the line in this match. But timing is everything, if drawn first a tag team would have to defeat four others to earn that title shot, and the competition is no push-over.
First, we have Caprice Coleman & Cedric Alexander, The C&C Wrestle Factory, a young and energetic tag team looking to make their mark in ROH.
Next, The Bravado Brothers. These two graduates of the ROH Wrestling School have made a name for themselves with their insufferable attitudes, but while rather inexperienced they have proven themselves against some of ROH's very best teams.
Thirdly, Future Shock of Adam Cole & Kyle O'Reilly are two rising stars of ROH. O'Reilly is a student and training partner of Davey Richards and as such employs an MMA influenced, hard-hitting technical wrestling style, while Adam Cole is a gifted high flyer from the ranks of CZW's training academy. Together they form one of the most impressive young tag teams in ROH competition.
Meanwhile, The Young Bucks need little introduction. Already one of the premier young tag teams in wrestling, The Bucks have a cocky, over-confidant attitude backed up by their impressive and innovative wrestling style and a host of titles to their name.
And finally, The All-Night Express, Kenny King & Rhett Titus, a definite fan favourite in ROH, The ANX learned from one of the very best in wrestling, A Double Austin Aries, and have put his lessons to good use as they spent 2011 embroiled in a bitter and bloody war with the Briscoe Brothers. All five teams will be looking to pull out the win in this match, but in a match where anything could happen it all comes down to the skill and team-work of the competitors and the luck of the draw.

Roderick Strong, former ROH World Heavyweight Champion, has a big chip on his shoulder. While the Final Battle spotlight remains firmly on Richards vs Edwards III, Strong feels that he should always be the focus and was upset and being denied a title shot on ROH's biggest show of the year. So Roderick looks to steal the spotlight from the World Heavyweight Title match with his 'Roderick Strong Invitational Challenge'. So far Strong has had a number of applicants, but claims that none of them are worthy of wrestling him at Final Battle, so it seems we'll have to wait until the night to discover who Strong's opponent may be, but whoever shows up will face a tough test against the self-proclaimed 'Messiah of the Backbreaker' and former ROH World Champ.
Inside ROH: The Roderick Strong Invitational Challenge
Just over two years ago, Kevin Steen turned on his former friend and tag team partner, El Generico, and wrapped a steel chair around his head. What followed during 2010 was one of the most bloody and hate-fuelled feuds Ring of Honor has ever seen, culminating in an insane Fight Without Honor at Final Battle 2010 that saw Generico defeat his former tag team partner and Steen banished from ROH for good. The man behind the monster, however, was Steve Corino, who throughout the feud urged Steen into new realms of sadistic madness that made ROH Management want rid of Steen for good. Fast forward to 2011 and Steve Corino, feeling guilty at ruining the career of a young wrestler through his manipulations, sought redemption. With Jimmy Jacobs as his sponsor, he aimed to prove to ROH that he had changed and was once again ready to compete. However, at Best in the World 2011 Steve Corino looked to bring Kevin Steen that same redemption and repair his damaged career with ROH. Things couldn't have gone more awry, as Steen turned on Corino & Jacobs, beat up ring officials, tried to Package Piledriver ROH Founder Cary Silken and loudly proclaimed "FUCK ROH!" before being dragged from the building. But that wasn't the last we'd see of Kevin Steen, who repeatedly returned to ROH events, provoking wrestlers and officials until he got what he wanted; a match with Steve Corino at Final Battle. If Steen loses, he loses any chance of returning to ROH, but if he wins ROH has no choice but to accept him back into the fold and if that should happen, Steen has promised to turn the company upside down and make life a living hell for Ring of Honor.

Jay Lethal made a triumphant return to ROH, the promotion where he first started his career, at Best in the World 2011 and soon after had captured the ROH World TV Title from El Generico. And while he has since made a number of successful defences, most have been via time limit draws against one of two men; former champion El Generico, and rising star 'The Prodigy' Mike Bennett who has made it his mission to become the face of ROH TV. At Final Battle, Bennett, with girlfried Maria Kanellis at ringside, will attempt to do just that, but will have his work cut out for him against the likes of El Generico, one of the most gifted high-flyers in wrestling today, and the current ROH World TV champion Jay Lethal who will be out to prove that, with the stakes raised, he can get the job done once and for all in this 3-way match.

Former WWE Superstars Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin, collectively known as 'Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team', made an immediate impact upon joing Ring of Honor by dethroning The King's of Wrestling back in April at 'Honor takes Center Stage: Chapter 1'. Since then they've built up an impressive run of defences as ROH World Tag Team Champions, but out of all the teams they have faced there is just one that has managed to provoke the wrath of Charlie & Shelton, 'Dem Boys' Mark & Jay, The Briscoe Brothers. After assaulting Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team following a gruelling Tag Title Elimination match at 'Best in the World 2011', The Briscoes have done everything in their power to gain a Tag Title shot and reclaim the belts they see as their property. But Mark & Jay may have bitten off more than can chew, as after a vicious attack on Shelton Benjamin a few weeks ago on ROH TV, which left Shelton with a cracked rib, Haas & Benjamin are fired up like never before and at Final Battle 2011 are out for revenge against The Briscoe Brothers.

Back in March at 'Manhattan Mayhem IV' Eddie Edwards shocked the wrestling world by defeating Roderick Strong to win the ROH World Heavyweight Title. No longer was Edwards in the shadow of his American Wolf tag team partner Davey Richards, who just three months before had failed to beat Strong for the title at 'Final Battle 2010', but no one was more pleased for Eddie than Richards himself, who was the first to congratulate the young champion on his historic victory. However, while Davey was content to let Eddie have his time in the spotlight, Edwards himself felt that he needed to prove himself against Richards to be considered a true champion, and at 'Best in the World 2011' Edwards lost the title to Richards in a brutal bout and definite match of the year contender. Inevitably, tensions began to rise between the two former tag partners. Miscommunication and misunderstandings led to bruised egos and betrayed trust when Edwards went behind Davey's back to train with MMA legend Dan 'The Beast' Severn, who will be in Edward's corner at Final Battle. While Davey and Eddie each hold a victory over each other (Edwards previously beat Richards in 2010 in the final of the ROH TV Title Tournament which crowned Edwards as the first ROH TV Champion), both encounters saw them leave and enter the ring as friends and training partners who knew the in's and out's of each other's styles, but at Final Battle 2011 the ROH World Heavyweight Champion Davey Richards will face an Eddie Edwards he's not at all familiar with, one under the tutelage of UFC Legend Dan Severn and with an arsenal of new moves and counters added to his repertoire and one who will do all it takes to reclaim his title. Richards vs Edwards II was a definite match of the year contender, so Richards vs Edwards III will have a lot to live up to, but chances are it'll be THE one main event you don't want to miss this year.

Predictions for tonight's show;
Jimmy Rave vs Tommaso Ciampa - The Embassy to pick up the underhanded win, starting a feud with Rave.
TJ Perkins vs Michael Elgin - House of Truth aide Elgin to the victory over Perkins.
The Young Bucks vs Future Shock vs The Bravados vs C&C Wrestle Factory vs The All-Night Express - ANX, for sure.
Roderick Strong vs ??? - leaving this one blank, for obvious reasons.
Steve Corino vs Kevin Steen - Jacobs to turn on Corino, give Steen the victory and form a new heel tag team.
Jay Lethal (c) vs Mike Bennett vs El Generico - Bennett to cheat Lethal out of the title, probably with an assist from Maria & Brutal Bob.
Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team (c) vs The Briscoe Brothers - a lot of fans are eager to see Haas & Benjamin's reign end, so I'd expect ROH to switch the title here, with The Briscoes going on to continue their feud with ANX.
Davey Richards (c) vs Eddie Edwards - Richards picks up the win to retain, but Edwards turns heel post-match.
I don't know, but I'm going to keep hyping Final Battle till someone other than myself, Net_Wrecker, djsandman & NoReN gives a damn

I'd say most of your predictions are correct, although the tag division gauntlet could be won by anybody now that ANX have won a proving ground match, and I think TJP has a chance vs Elgin. Also, I've heard of names like Chris Hero or Nigel McGuinness returning to the ring fro the Strong match.
LOL, I remember back in the day online that people would argue about how Bischoff would kick Vince's ass in a real fight because he was a "3rd-degree black belt".
Then Vince fought Austin on Raw the first time and showed how super roided he was and that talk ended pretty quickly.

Hero returning for one last match would be awesome, as he never really got a proper send-off, but seeing Nigel wrestle again would be amazing. Also, I did think Perkins might have a chance of winning, but given that Elgin won Survival of the Fittest and is probably going to be the first challenger for whoever wins out of Eddie & Davey, I'm not sure that booking him to lose against a newcomer would be the best idea heading into a title match. I forgot ANX had that proving ground win though, so I'll probably change my choice to Future Shock or The Bucks.

Why do they insist on grouping these together like this? 3 week PPV builds does nothing for nobody. The best they can hope for is stringing together a story across these shows but so far they have been unsuccessful.

I know WWE seems to have a strange aversion to tournaments, but would it be too much to ask to see the return of King of the Ring?
June/July was always the traditional time for King of the Ring, and a tournament is a great way to make stars of some undercard talent.
That's not 4 PPVs in a row, and at least RR -> EC -> WM can tell a story with minimal booking involved. Also, WM gets six weeks build after EC. From NOC to SS there are 4 ppvs with 3 weeks build each.
They were too busy taking signs off the crowd. WCW security was actually Sign patrol.
DMczaf is going to go to that thinking it'll be just like MITB 2011.
My four favorite PPVs in a year for WWE are: Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, Wrestlemania, Money In The Bank. I like those four because they are usually the least predictable. Even if we do know who will win, there are so many variables they can ad some suspense before they go with the obvious choice.

I think they're gonna try to make MitB huge from now on after this year's epic show. It's just a really fun PPV too with great gimmicks. I'd rate the current PPV top 5 like this in terms of which I want to watch the most:
1. Wrasslemania
2. Royal Rumble
3. Money in the Bank
4. Summerslam
5. Survivor Series
It's nothing special. I saw it at December to Dismember. Though, that may be part of the problem.
Found one of my pictures from the show:
I'm never sitting that far back on the floor again.
I think I'll like it. I liked the Hell in a Cell cage when I saw Unforgiven 06 live(you know back when Vince didn't hate Toronto). Being in the third row helped. I could almost touch it.
