They really did get behind him. I remember when Vader beat the total shit out of Gorilla Monsoon on RAW that one time. That was amazing because Monsoon had never done anything like that since retiring.

Sheamus, I ask you to also take the ISIS threat very seriously and to avoid Survivor Series tonight.
>_>
I despair there may never be a great hero like Jack Tunney ever again.
Based on the considerate advice of dream, I have decided not to go to Survivor Series tonight.
:lol
Will the government cover therapy?
Except Sid was actually over as champ.
Survivor Series 1996 the crowd wanted Sid over a drug addled kliq asshole.

I remember hearing that Vader smelled so some didn't like working with him. I was watching a 97 Raw recently and Ross snuck it in there. Called him a "stinkin bully!"
I loved Sid back in 96, and so did the NYC crowd at Survivor Series, famously. When he actually beat Shawn, it was great. Sid had some classic facial expressions when he realized the crowd were with him.

Lex was never the champ and I don't think he was ever chosen over Perfect. They only had 1 match at WM9 that had a lame finish and kinda rekindled the rivilary a year later for it to amount to nothing.
Sid never had a long run either. He dropped the belt at the following PPV anyways. Sid was more of a transitional champion imo.
I'd have put Bret with Luger and Shawn with Diesel, myself.
eh...while Diesel was holding the title (Shittily, I might add), Hart was facing Jerry Lawler and crew and Jeanne Pierre Lafette. Yeah...
Sure, but he'd already been champion several times before Diesel was shoved to that spot. I assume the chart is supposed to be "big boring guys Vince pushed over the smaller more viable choice", Bret and Diesel don't seem to fit that.
I'm aware Bryan's had the title while Reigns had not, but Bryan's never had that extended run despite being in need of one since like 2012.

lol at that smarky as fuck picture.
Yeah! So much bullshit. The drunk lady next to me in the crowd loved it though.
If Rollins wasn't injured, I'd be all for Reigns winning the Title right now. But since he did get injured, I think a heel needs to win to establish a top heel. Ambrose could work. Owens would definitely work. So would Reigns. But I can't see them turning Reigns because they're fools.
You sat next to "Blue Dress"?
No, some lady in black jeans and a black shirt with real big hair.

Tomoyuki Oka announced he'll be entering the NJPW Dojo soon, presumably after Wrestle Kingdom - you may remember him as the otaku pro-wrestler from this article;
Otaku pro-wrestler makes no apologies for blurring the nerd/jock boundary
Also, with a new native wrestler in the dojo (as well as Jay White, David Finlay and Juice Robinson) and Hiromu Takahashi returning from CMLL in January, hopefully this means Komatsu & Tanaka can finally go on their learning excursions.
Naito talked about La Sombra going to WWE, saying he was sad he wouldn't get to team with him in Japan, but happy he was following his dreams. He also said that, with La Sombra gone, his group has little to do with Rush's group and will officially be called 'LOS INGOBERNABLES de Japon'

I learned yesterday tha Bagwell missed Bash at the Beach 1995 because of a leaking calf implant.
Ironically enough I'm listening to The Lapsed Fan right this second of that episode, and they just mentioned it.
1995 is a bad year in WWF, but a crazy (and also bad) year in WCW.

After Vince their Ventura impression pretty much always makes me laugh. It sounds exactly like him.
Lapsed Fan and OSW Review are the 2 podcasts I actually like to listen to. I need some positivity in my life.
I wish OSW was more frequent but I understand how much time those videos probably take to edit.

What? They are amazing.
They've been posted on Reddit for nearly every PPV for like a year and a half now.

Didn't Daniel Bryan get his run? Then get injured? What happened if he got a second run with the belt, then get injured again - like he did with the IC belt? We'd still probably be looking at a Roman Reigns future.
Uh, nobody did.
Bryan was never planned as a long term champion. The injuries just sped up the process.

The first three images don't seem to reflect the history I lived.
He never got a run, he got a PPV.
this song and gimmick would be so over today as a heel or a face.
So, which one of you sad sacks is this, huh?
I know it's just the kind of mark name one of you would have.
Hm, who here has an undying love for New Generation WWF

Shit, that's right. I thought he had longer with the belt, but he only had the one PPV.
