Yeah, Tatanka had a good run but clearly got depushed...I'm not surprised why.

also, random: I never watched most of the WCW PPVs, this Curt Hennig/Ric Flair match had a lot of tired selling filler, but pretty good. I forgot how stiff Mr. Perfect's matches were...

Damn right it is!

So last PPV going into the Royal Rumble...

Matches for the Rumble so far:
Punk vs. Ziggler
D.Brine vs. Big Show vs. Mark Henry in a cage (or something, right?)
Sheamus vs. Barrett ?
John Cena vs. Kane
Royal Rumble


EDIT: While looking for any other matches I missed I came across this:

- WWE officials have apparently decided to drop the Money in the Bank pay-per-view this July and replace it with another concept - the TLC pay-per-view. As noted before, they have been planning to bring the Money in the Bank ladder match back at WrestleMania this year.

Unless the schedule changes again, Vengeance will be replacing TLC in December for this year.

Good stuff.
 
Updated the World War III stream to include some other WCW PPVs from that year, in order. Enjoy friends~

Any match with Perry Saturn is 5 stars!

Would have preferred Low Ki vs Callihan, but it makes sense storyline-wise to put Sami against AR Fox. Both matches should deliver though, and I think I actually prefer Ronin vs TYB as a tag match instead of a 6-man.

Not 100% sure about Sheamus vs. Barrett - it would make sense for them to have a match.

Well if they do I hope it's one of those "loser doesn't get to be in the rumble, winner gets to be at the back end of the rumble" matches.

Even if the loser pretty much always just beats up some jobber in the back and enters anyway
 
Shane was the shit, an absolute treat to watch in the ring. His match with Angle at King of the Ring was one of my favorites as a kid. He was a smart dude though, saw the writing on the wall and bailed out.
 
Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling has announced Nashville will be home for “Lockdown 2012” presented by Direct Auto Insurance.

If you're not going to Mania, there is always Lockdown.
 
Lethal Lockdown is my least favourite "special" main event on any pay-per-view.

Each one has:
  1. AJ Styles or someone similar doing the table spot on top of the cage
  2. "Oh my god Jeff Jarrett's gotten the guitar from the ceiling"
  3. The heels are up two to one in there, will our hero be able to last until his partner enters to even the odds?
  4. The heels are up three to two in there, will our heroes be able to last until their partner enters to even the odds?

And nothing memorable or consequential happens

You forgot that the face captain always enters last.
 
I always liked Shane-O-Mac. Let's not fool ourselves though, he was a spot monkey. I dunno why he was so damn crazy but man, he was great. Still...I see where he also was a problem.

So who is the better McMahon? Vince or Shane? From a rasslin perspective. Hell...let's also bring storylines into it.

Vince is one of the greatest heels, not just of the past decade, but perhaps of all-time.
He played his role to perfection and was more than willing to take his share of abuse.

Shane on the other hand, was far more entertaining in the ring. And has more memorable moments.

Storyline/personality
Vince>Shane

In-ring work/psychology
Shane>Vince

Vince>Shane overall just because he did it longer.

I'm going to have to agree with this all. You can't beat Vince's heel. He was totally disgusting.

But, in the ring Shane managed to tell some good stories.
 
-WWE will begin filming Legends show in the former home of comedian and actor Harpo Marx at the Tamarisk Country Club in Rancho Mirage, CA next month, according to The Desert Sun newspaper in California.

I know where this is and about 20 minutes away from my house. Too bad it's in the country club.

Roddy Piper and Iron Sheik staying in the nicest place they've ever slept. Drama!

Shane McMahon is Jeff Hardy with more wrestling ability and a better character.
