The Cenation Train never stops, friend Browny.
Monthly PPVs weren't a thing for Hogan's career and for chunk of Austin's WWE run. Everything about Cena's career (# of world titles, main events) is massively inflated.

It only counts wwe. Big show main event Halloween havoc 95
Using Wikipedia, Hogan has main evented 35 WCW PPVs. (Ctrl-F on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_WCW_pay-per-view_events)
Cena has been a main eventer for longer than Austin.
Also, yeah no monthly PPVs is why Hogan's is so low. He would easily be on top.
Another fun fact: Bryan and Benoit have the same number of main-events.
(even if Bryan should've had more since his Punk feud never got to do it)
They had IYH PPV's during Austin's run. Austin's number is lower because of his injuries.
Someone like Bret Hart's number is low, though, because they didn't do the monthly PPV's most of his run as the #1 guy.

It's in Orlando at the Amway Center. January 24th.
So it's going to be a Full Sail crowd! Glorious!
So unless people travel it's gonna be full of kids?
This time Roman Reigns goes over harder.

Jeez, cab companies can beat Uber if they'd just try harder and adopt the practice of easy ride trackers through one app, and phone calls on approach. Of course they're all so fragmented... Maybe there's nothing they can do.

All those Kane main events and such little time with the WWE title/WHC, it's a damned shame I say.

Agreed. I'll watch 3-4 episodes until ZZ and my wife Sara Lee are eliminated.

the main good thing about the suplex city line is it is something brock just came up with in the ring. in itself it isn't a great line exactly, it's okay, but it's the way he said it.

Even though I'll never buy something so corny, that line is wonderful for its marketability in different cities. It'd be a good move to make them custom with the name of the city they're doing a show in as like, falling off the road sign and being replaced with Suplex City.
Oh shit 0_0. Hopefully Drew get sign because dude is probably the best thing to come out of CZW next to Jeez and the King.

yeah, man brock made them 100 million bucks just off the cuff
brock is the fucking best
anyone who doesn't like brock is a dang chump in my book
i think it also rules how he only wrestles a couple of times a year. every single match feels huge. brock is the best character wrestling has had since stone cold.

Preserving his mystique is huge. Just requires restraint, thankfully Bork has fuck-you money and isn't dying for exposure. Or overexposure...

Had to happen though. You saw the gravity Taker brought to Mania last year. As good as he is, it was a shadow of his former self, unfortunately.

i seriously forget undertaker even showed up at this wrestlemania.
brock stealing his mystique might be accurate.
It didn't help that both Bray and his entrances took place basically in daylight. Ruins the mystique.
Undertaker needs darkness to make his entrance more of a spectacle
On that note, while i'm 95% certain Sting will be the guy who retires Undertaker next year. I'd be 100% okay with Balor being the one who does it.

Boots, as Brit Wres oracle, any idea why Terry Frazier has disappeared from The Revolutionists/Rev Pro/Wrestling in general?
You mean like this:
There are better designs on redbubble than that.

So glad Don West is back. His enthusiasm is infectious. It's not often a used car salesman can survive out of their natural habitat.
Yep, definitely better.
Same here Friend....dude was the closest thing to a digimon breed of Tony Schiavone and the cosmetologist from Mr's Doubtfire.

I was wondering that myself - hasn't been seen since last year's Uprising, but he wasn't very active in 2014 or 2013. I'm guessing he's injured or he's jacked it in.

Shame, I quite like him.

I also really enjoy Don West. He's the best man for that job, clearly. The best. I watched an hour of him talking about baseball cards last night and came away feeling pleasant.

Sting's legacy was destroyed in a matter of 4 months, and by one match. There is no reason for him to ever wrestle again.

Would the NXT crowd be bigger then the average old Impact Zone crowd?
You are stealing money right out of his pocket with those factory sets.
