Best way this works is elimination style that way every team gets some action. Survivor Series 2002 tag title match is a good example of this.

Just the one, Brain Damage committed suicide. Trent Acid OD'd, but I don't think that was on purpose, while JC Bailey died of an aneurysm, thought to have been brought on by years of severe head trauma.
So, there's a director's cut now: https://www.facebook.com/ImpactWrestling/videos/10153836492176026/

It's bad when Bjork doesn't want to be associated with this guy. D-.
I think I'm more saying, if I'm going to make a stupid wrestling-related hand sign, I'm going to use the stupidest one possible.

I understand WWE's reasoning but I hate the fact they won't even acknowledge Chris Benoit as having ever lived.

Man Goldberg has lost a ton of weight he's at least 60 pounds lighter than his last WWE appearance.

Yeah and there will never be anyone else like her, only one who came close was Awesome Kong.

Well of course, Chyna had a bigger presence though. I'm trying to think who'll be inducted first between the two lol. I called for Bull but with the passing of Chyna they should put her in but if they don't, expect to hear it it from the fans.
Chyna was a more famous name and got more eyes on her in promotional stuff, etc. She makes more sense for the HOF, even if she did porn and all that.
Bull was there for like eight months or something, traded the belt back and forth with Alundra, then got popped for coke and that was it. I love her and all, but I can't ever see Bull going in.

Chyna was one of the defining names of the attitude era, I will be very surprised is she doesn't go in the hall of fame.
There are plenty better workers out there but she made a big mark.

I'd like to have Bull go in because she was a legit threat to Alundra and at the time it was scary. I remember looking back at that stuff and Bull was scarier than Luna to me. Also with the recent talent from overseas it would fit perfectly.
Also the Queen of the trailer park has to go in too 😂. But that I'm very doubtful of.
Steph and HHH will induct her in.
Remember it was Steph who discovered Chyna and pushed her.
Steph also showed Chyna how to lift.
Did you also know that Steph is a serious businesswoman guys?
If either went in, they'd need to show footage of their stuff from other regions to really enforce why they were there.

One person I am glad got out of the business relatively unscathed is Molly Holly, she was one of my favourite women wrestlers for a good few years.
They can say whatever they want about this diva revolution or whatever they call it, but that roster that had Molly/Victoria/Jazz carrying Lita and Trish was very sound and fun to watch actually wrestle.

And somehow this is like the 4th Turtles gimmick I'm aware of.

Better off not knowing to be honest.
I know that the NXT TV show is not as hot as it was one year ago, but two things I still really appreciate about it are:
1.) The fact that they utilize jobber matches on a much more consistent basis compared to Raw/Smackdown
2.) It's only one hour per week
It's a great change of pace that has pretty much gone by the wayside otherwise in professional wrestling. Too many wrestlers and matchups get overexposed and recycled on WWE TV because there's so many damn hours to fill on a weekly basis (and that won't be going away anytime soon as long as they continue to receive $100million+ per year in TV contract revenue), so it's nice to have a show like NXT that kinda harkens back to the 80's/early 90's. It honestly makes the TV show more compelling as a result because each wrestler is treated as more of a special attraction rather than a daily occurrence.

Perhaps he's auditioning for the second color commentator spot on Smackdown once they move Saxton to RAW exclusively post-brand split. Which makes me sad for Corey Graves.
Wow, you're giving Sasha a whole 2 years? That's a better prognosis than I was expecting.
I wonder if there's a reason Triple H has been phoning in the Creative for his baby of late. Hmmm...

Ryan Ward getting promoted to head SmackDown didn't help.

Well..... Well, supposedly it was a run with the belt or Playboy and she chose Playboy.
Definitely for Bertha, at least with Bull they have stuff from two American promotions.
Molly was one of my favourites, I even named my dog after her lol. But I roll my eyes at this Divas revolution shit. Ivory, Molly, Jacqueline, and Lita were doing this shit years prior. They're just too fucking stupid to actually acknowledge it because someone certain person can't take credit for it. You can thank Johnny Ace for hiring these no nothing broads anyway, that set everything back.
thanks for the laugh, brother

yeah I love NXT but i can't disagree with this, which is a shame.
Yeah, I haven't watched NXT in a while. There isn't a lot to get you to watch week to week. No real sense of story. Just random matches. It made me tune out.
I'll still watch Takeover obviously but I'm not invested in NXT week to week. Which is a shame given how hot the brand was like a year ago.
Dolph and Lawler having so much fun on commentary :lol

While J-E-DOUBLE FF J-A-DOUBLE R-E-DOUBLE T, that's Jeff Jarrett, ain't he great might not be popular in this thread I can confirm that doing his taunt (Fargo Strut then raising both of your arms) absolutely slays my audience consisting of a 2 and 3 year old.
If I could ignore Owen Hart dying at Over the Edge '99, maybe I'd grade it similarly to other WWF events around this time. Maybe a D+, or even a C-. But the death of Owen Hart at this event cannot and should not be ignored. I feel like anything but the lowest possible grade would be disrespectful and wrong. Maybe grading it at all is disrespectful and wrong. But you sickos demanded it.
I would like to hear thoughts on Vince letting the show continue that night, though. Bad call? Hard, yet correct, decision? What do you guys think?
