For a supercard I probably would only pick matches I've NEVER seen before, not rehashes

Listening to Colt Cabana's podcast with Taz. Taz explains the timeline of him jumping from ECW to the WWF.
Taz expected his final ECW show to be the Anarchy Rulz show where lost the ECW World Title and got pinned in 30 seconds.
Vince Russo's original plan for Taz was to debut immediately and feud with Ken Shamrock. Shamrock was leaving to do a UFC return, so they needed a way to write him out. Shamrock was going to have an open challenge for his Lion's Den gimmick, which Taz would answer. Taz would beat Shamrock and take over the Lion's Den gimmick until Shamrock returned from UFC and got his win back. Taz said it didn't happen because Russo jumped to WCW and Shamrock left earlier than expected. So he's just sitting around doing nothing and asked if he could go back and work some ECW dates just so he could stay sharp, which is why he came back to work against Rob Van Dam at November to Remember 1999.
Taz also tells a pretty sad story about his debut against Kurt Angle at Royal Rumble 2000. He said when Madison Square Garden popped so huge for him, he knew as soon as he got to the back he was fucked because Vince didn't create that pop. "I already knew enough that since the WWF machine didn't make that pop happen, I figured I'd be getting a makeover very soon." He said he watched the PPV the next day and heard both Ross and Lawler talking about how the Tazmission was an illegal choke. He said the choke angle on his finisher was never discussed and he believed Vince made Ross say that. He also said Ross only referred to him as the "Human Suplex Machine" once at the start of the match. All of it confirmed his suspicions.

Oh shut up Tazz
They gave him THE WORLD at the Rumble. It was at MSG. They knew it would get that pop. JR put him over like a million dollars.

I remember that that finish was botched so Crash won again the next night
That shit was so silly
Remember when Vince supposedly freaked out about the ratings and demanded changes?
Michael Elgin & Tomoaki Honma vs Daisuke Sekimoto & Luke Harper
Tetsuya Naito vs Neville
Killer Elite Squad vs Angelico & Jack Evans
Go Shiozaki vs Tyler Breeze
The New Day vs The Young Bucks (for curiosities sake)
Koto Ibushi vs Cesaro
Will Osperay vs Roderick Strong vs Kevin Owens vs Finn Balor
Minoro Sukuzi vs Kurt Angle
Seth Rollins vs Hiroshi Tanahashi
I hate myself for fantasy booking the Young Bucks but hey, I gotta see that combo one day.

The PG Era is Dead
They are bringing Brock back this week.
Where they will make him job to Cena and Steph.
Why should WWE build up stars when they have the ratings draw that is Steph

I've honestly never seen someone so tone-deaf about their portrayal as Steph
Before like 2012, she totally got it. She'd take bumps, put people over, etc. Now she's still the same uber condescending heel, but there's never going to be any payoff. Even Rousey didn't chuck her around. Brie should've buried her six feet deep during their match, not the other way around. Just constant misses.
Trips is totally cool with being a colossal stooge now that he's not active, but she's the complete opposite

Just watched the promo for sasha and bayley's iron man match. Didn't know they were main eventing. That is so damn cool.
Haitch buried Sting on his first match, who is noe 0-2 on PPVs.
Bigger jobber than Jericho
