The 15 time bothers me more than anything, the fact that this dude is even close to Ric Flair is the biggest insult to the industry in the last 100 years. It makes me physically ill thinking how that are going to rub that in everyone's face, and milk it. Oh man ohhhhhhhhhhhhh man!!!!!!!!!

This is the man coming for that record, and he's done a hell of a lot more Make-A-Wish work than Flair

Don't worry, Roman will inevitably be the one to break Cena's record.

Sure, it wasn't make a wish, but I'm sure some people dreamt of riding space mountain and he did a lot of work for that.

Agreed to review some WWE DVDs without paying attention to recent releases. Now I've got to watch a 3-disc set of the WWE's sycophant general, Cool Dad Chris Jericho, and somehow keep my disdain for the man under check. Same goes for the Warrior doc. Fuck that dude and his reprehensible opinions.

Flair's probably made 10% of the Make-A-Wish kids that Cena has granted wishes for, but that's only because I assume about 10% of children born between 1978 and today are Flair's illegitimate offspring.

That's a really good point. He didn't work with at-risk children, he worked with at-risk grown women.
Why don't you take the Shook Challenge set? We got backyard matches. Best of Miniak Vol 1.
Good luck getting through those WWE productions. I find em ehhh. The Bateaster one (the original one, not the most recent one with his most recent comeback) was really good. I also enjoyed the Road Warriors one. Lots of Minnesota in there, it was good.
I liked JR's idea of Brock/Rollins at Mania. There's a ton of matches you can do with Seth in the meantime. As long as I get those two one on one at some point, I'm happy.
God speed, sir.
I still have a lot of respect for Jericho's career and am grateful for the years of entertainment he provided, but I've definitely soured on the guy over the past year or so.
On a random Jericho note, he's a bad interviewer because he always spins his guest's answers into a story about himself. "Oh yeah, I went through the same thing! When I was champion,..."

Never has whatamark.gif been more appropriate. Ric Flair was a shitty technical wrestler who worked the wrong leg to set up the figure four for 30 years, had the same match for 30 years no matter the opponent, and worked himself into a shoot. And is a bitchy old man who cries and berries dudes any time he gets a mic around him.

I think I'm done with backyard matches after I saw some Australian deathmatch tournament where a dude got his nutsack stapled to a chair (and then forcibly removed). There was a lot of blood, just dripping down his legs.
I'm sure I'll be fine with the matches, but the documentary? Ehhhhhhhhhhh. And yeah, Jericho's an awful interviewer, has to make everything about himself. People give Colt a lot of flack for being annoying, but I like that he sits back and lets people tell their story (for the most part).

Im sorry, I do not equate make a wish numbers, to being the best in ring performer of all time.
Bret Hart would agree with you. And so would I.

Ric Flair isn't even in the top 50 all time in ring performers. Probably not even top 50 in the US alone.

I wouldn't berry Ric like that. He had an incredible hold on the south and it's infectious. Sure, you can dump him out of your top 50 workers but even then I think he's worth having in there. He did a lot with not so much. However, almost all of his memorable matches (and there are quite a few) were done on the shoulders of his opponent. Steamboat. Von Erich. Stang. Michaels. and on and on.
You have to watch Warrior in the mindset of someone living pre-internet. Waking up on Saturday morning and catching wrestling after little league practice or whatever and seeing this bulging maniac talking about all kinds of cool stuff and then wiping an opponent out in a minute or less. That stuff was all badass, even if the dude behind it wasn't as much.

I hated Flair's final WWE run. Absolutely hated it. He looked horrendous, didn't fit in with ANYTHING going on, and felt like they were milking him for the very last drop. Absolutely hated the way it went out. He shoulda left with WCW and been done.
He should've won the Royal Rumble and then showed up on Saturday Night and threw their belt in the trash.
I would be willing to bet big time that it doesn't happen.

The Ric Flair gif currently making the rounds is pretty great.
Sherri took that like a champ though. #sensational

Stone Cold will never wrestle again. Never.
I would berry his in ring work for sure. I would never, ever berry his promos. Like, top 5 promo guy of all time probably. But his in ring work has been so vastly over rated over the years. He's always listed as this great ring general and technical wrestler. He's not either. His formula match has no psychology to it, he was sloppy and awkward as shit when he ever tried actual technical stuff, he had weak as fuck offense for his entire career.
Ric Flair wasn't even the best wrestler in the 4 Horsemen. At any time period.

Flair's highly overrated as a technical wrestler, but he elevated so much talent over the course of his time on top, far more than Cena ever has or ever will.
Can't find the exact show, I think it was these fucks though;

Dick Murdoch was a card carrying member of the KKK, yet you didn't see him use his fame as a platform to spread his hateful views.
Captain Redneck > Warrior

This is heresy. This is borderline blasphemous. I am extremely disappointed in you. I consider you a scholar, especially when it comes to anything pre-2000.
1980-1989 is the best run in the history. Best matches ever put to tape. Ric is the best Wrestler to ever set foot in the ropes. How many wrestlers did Ric make famous?
How many has Cena?

I think he stated before that the one guy he'd come back for would be CM Punk, and that sure as fuck isn't happening anytime soon.
What if he came back as Stunning Steve?
Maybe he can get some plugs
Has he ever tried to grow his hair back out? Because he might be able to still have a decent head of hair for all we know.

I really can't see Austin wrestling at 32. Maybe involved in an angle but in the ring, locking up I very much doubt it.
On the subject of Austin, just finished WM14. How did the main event go over at the time? I found it pretty slow, undramatic with a very underwhelming finish. Was Austin still very limited post injury? Was Shawn completely in the pills gutter? Does Tyson have the fastest count in the west?
That's from Kinnikuman. Superhero/wrestling gag comedy with tons and tons of references to 70s-80s wrestling. I enjoyed some of it, but I never want to hear the damn gyudon song again.
Just finished watching the NXT WrestleMania weekend episode...
Guys, I fucking love Hideo Itami.
Crazy to see just how fast he's adopted the WWE system in such a short time, especially when you consider how out of place he looked when he first came in. I for one was skeptical he was ever going to get properly adjusted, awesome to see how wrong I was. His in-ring story telling and pacing is some of the best of anyone in NXT. Dude is gonna be a superstar if given even the slightest of chance. Trips is obviously high on him so chances are good.
