The Hogan stuff was so prominent and so goofy that it's what people think of when they think of Sullivan. It's a shame his intense stuff is lost.
Sullivan's feud with Benoit is the best thing I saw of him in WCW. Forget that the actual booking was kind of confusing as shit, but the Sullivan vs Benoit brawls were insane.
Their match was the first time I had seen a wrestling match go crazy like that and go all around the building. It blew my teenage mind.

Isn't it funny that the female side of the Performance Center is turning out way better personalities than the male side?
We got Alexa, Dana, rehabbed Emma and Bayley all as vibrant characters who can all talk.
Meanwhile we got the fucking Drifter, Apollo and the Mechanics as the prime examples of Peformance Center output for the guys.
EDIT; oh and how can I forget another fucking dead end dancing gimmick in the form of No Way Jose. He better turn into a vicious heel who beats up people for money to buy his next nights eccy.

On the next UK tour they aren't doing the Raw in England, it's going to be from Glasgow in Scotland for the first time.
It'll be my first live WWE event.
Tickets on sale tomorrow!

HBK's gimmick was a leather boy, he just happened to dance. It's like La Parka, except less cool than La Parka.
Also I spend more time weeding out my youtube history thanks to this forum...

Well, they've done well with Enzo, Cass, Gable, and to a lesser extent Corbin & Jordan. But the success rate is a lot lower. They seem to rely on bringing in indies who already have their game together on the mens side.
Apollo I just flat out don't get. I know his promo game wouldn't be good coming from Japan, but his basic ability to put a match together is poor too, so he needed lots more time at the centre, yet he's on the main roster. Vince gonna Vince

Looking forward to it. Fiver says we end up more divisive than the English crowds tend to be.

Yep, Too Cool.
True, they've had some hits. I wonder how it'll all pan out when it really matters, generally when NXT has something with an act, they look after it. On the main roster you can be thrown to the wolves in the most random, spiteful ways.
I don't doubt this thread will have a total meltdown when this Raw goes down.
Question to both of you Glasgow guys: Would you go to/Have you even heard of ICW's big show in the same venue a week later?
Scotty 2 Hotty carried Rikishi and Brian Christopher.

Man, I did not expect to pop online today and see Balor lost the title at a house show. We're sure he's not injured?
Too Cool got THE biggest pops in the company, at a time WWF had The Rock and Stone Cold on the same roster. It's absolutely insane just how over they got for that short period of time.
Brian Christopher sure as fuck didn't deserve it, but I am really glad Scotty 2 Hotty got to enjoy that, fantastic dude and a really great worker.

Meltzer said he unlaced his boot, which tends to mean storyline injury, and that there'd been talk of a switch earlier in the day, so hopefully not.
After that HOF, Rikishi sure as hell didn't deserve it either.
Scotty was great.
He bowed, was walking fine after the bell and the gurney was pre-prepared during the match apparently.
He's fine. Losing the title at a house show, just after the biggest show of the year, in order to get the longest reign has to be a tribute to Dusty. It's something Dusty would LOVE.

What's all this Rikishi HOF business about?
When you've got The Godfather and Koko B.Ware in the HOF it means anybody can be inducted, including Rikishi
Rikishi is already in it.

Seriously. Fuck Rikishi after that. They're the only reason he ever got over and he doesn't even mention Too Cool at the HOF. Tactless.

Rikishi didn't once mention Too Cool in his HOF induction. Plus he didn't even want them in attendance. Given that riding their coattails was almost certainly the only reason he was inducted it's pretty pathetic to pretend they had nothing to do with him being there.
They were not best pleased about the snub either.

How quickly people forget who put his ass on their backs!

What's even worse than all that is that Rikishi is inducted, but Too Cool isn't.
Samoan bias.
I'm okay with Brian Christopher not being inducted.
Ugh, I forgot about that. Fuck.

Wow.
Fuck him. Even worse that Too Cool isn't even in the HOF.

He should have went on stage as a head shrinker or Make A Difference Fatu.
Because thats what really got him over.
The wrasslers treat it like a legit honor. Rikishi went specifically out of his way to write the guys who put him over out of history.
Lol.
The funniest is when people on twitter talk about the WWE HOF, but leave out which HOF it is and Meltzer assumes they're talking about the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame.

Too Cool have always been terrible and Rikishi was clearly the thing that brought it all together. Fuck Too Cool.

I'll probably be going to both. I was at last year's Fear & Loathing in the SECC and their show in the Barrowlands a few weeks ago, so I had been intending to go anyway.
The Worm was a million times more over than the Stinkface

I think everyone's jimmies are rustled because Rikishi didn't mention the biggest part of his career in his HOF speech. Big Kish wouldn't be shit if it weren't for Scotty.
Lol your memory is bad, Too Cool was already over before Rikishi. No one cared about Rikishi until he put on Too Cool sunglasses and danced with them.
