Unfortunately not, as I'm watching on PS4 - the quality is better than anything you'll find on youtube, very clean, uncompressed and obviously from a near-original source.

Dope. I should just shut up and wait, mine should arrive any day now. Always dreamed of this kind of SD content, packed to the gills on Blu-Ray.

I love the story by I think Russo where no one in WCW could fire meng because they were scared he would beat the crap out of them .

Meng should have been canacho bodyguard

Was Umaga a 'legit' tough guy? I feel like he was sort of getting there at one point, but then I was just sick of seeing him when he became Vince McMahon's lackey.

Some of these wrestlers have returned (Batista, Christian, Damien Sandow, Jericho, etc). I know there's a lot of developmental talent that I left off (and peripheral talent such as referees). A few guys "retired" and some legends (like Hogan or Slaughter or Ron Simmons or Terry Funk) have came & went, but I was focusing more on regular talent. There's also guys (like Cappotelli) who hung around for years before they were cut despite almost never being on the road for WWE.

Totally. As easy as it is to go on about how crap his finisher was, or how bad his booking was post Last Man Standing against Cena, the number of big names he rolled through before then was impressive, and the guy was great in the ring.

Not great for a guy his size, just legitimately great.

This is my bias here, but when I think of "monster" I don't think of a guy who's physique is cut up like that. I think of someone like Dr. Death. Just a big dood who is thick and looks like he will kick your ass. No doubt that Arlovski is strong and knows what he is doing, but a monster heel is something that I just don't see.

Samoa Joe is a great example of a fattie who was legit tough just 'because' and then TNA tried to make him SUPER LEGIT TOUGH and he just looked like an idiot with that facepaint on.

Bloody towel was fine, tribal tattoo facepaint... not so much.

Do you like the Miz?


It was for the best. It would have been a bit of insult for Joe, and the character turned out alright without him, at least at first anyway.

Oh no Miz is back? Ergh. He the new Shield guy??!!

Why is the Miz back? who asked Mr. Mizanin to come back?

Hey, I have no idea that he is, but he was out shooting The Marine 4 with Summer, and she's back. And they're in Miz country tonight or something.

So even if he isn't back tonight, he's due back really soon.

And sue me, I like the Miz. I have since the very early days. I saw one of his very first matches at a Smackdown taping in Worcester MA back when they were pushing him way too hard for where he was in the ring.

The guy has worked really hard for the WWE. I don't know that it's ever been easy for him but he's done well with everything that fell on his shoulders imho.

Black Tiger hit an elbow drop that made me wonder why everyone tries to do it Macho's way - Black Tiger climbs up the turnbuckles with his back to his opponent, then jumps backwards off the top with his elbow out and rolls through as it hits. Looks great.

I feel like I've seen that in a wrestling game.

That is some top tier neckbearding there. He has almost zero hair growing above his chin. Dude really needs a tipped fedora to bring it home, though.

Still, the most embarrassing thing about that photo is being happy to be seen with the Miz.

you're attached to the old ways. being attached to the old ways is why the WWE is dying. why does the monster heel needs to be a huge, fat, mean looking dude? why not try something new and have the monster heel be a tall, athletic, ripped, lean, good looking guy like in old school action movies?

look at horse meat era Reem:

a heel that looks like this would be great and a welcome change. closer to it is Orton when he's heel.

he'd be a tweener, because the ladies would be fully behind him.
