I'm glad WWE came to the right decision on Mike Sanders, even if it was for a stupid reason.

They're great because they all end with someone getting fired, whether they do or do not shake hands with someone.

Borden, originally wrestling under the ring name Flash, teamed with Jim "Justice" Hellwig as two members of Power Team USA in independent All-California Championship Wrestling. Power Team USA was a four-man unit also featuring Garland "Glory" Donahoe and Mark "Commando" Miller, plus manager Rick Bassman.[19] Hellwig and Borden later moved to the Continental Wrestling Association (CWA), a wrestling company based in Memphis, Tennessee and became known as the Freedom Fighters.[20] Fans were slow to respond to the lumbering hulks, so the team turned heel.[3][21] The Freedom Fighters left the CWA after an uneventful run, the highlight of which was an angle in which they broke the leg of veteran wrestler Phil Hickerson.[20]

according to Mark 42:69 Jesus bolted upright at two days fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds, leapt to his feet and immediately gave the devil a tombstone piledriver for the three-count

Everyone knows Jesus died and came back at age 33. You have to read the apocryphal books to know he died again at 45 from heart disease.

This is amazing and POD makes it perfect.

If there’s one way to get teenage boys to pay attention it’s blasting loud music and smashing concrete and flaming wood. All it’s missing is flipping over hummer or something.

Ok I'm turning convo back a bit.
We forgot about Los Boriquas and DoA, two stables almost completely devoid of personality who only existed so WWF could have race wars.
Terrible and socially irresponsible.

The Nation of Domination is excluded because at least we got The Rock from them.

Los Boriquas can't be bad, they had Savio Vega who will always be a guy I love just because he did spinning wheel kicks which was the coolest poo poo to 10 year old me

Don't forget the militant south african apartheid government-themed Truth Commission.
Fake Edit: Although to be fair I don't remember if they were contemporaneous with the other faction wars.

Austin loving loves Savio Vega. Every time he comes up on the podcast, Austin talks about how great he was.

I loved D'Lo Brown and his thing at the time where he was wearing the chest protector, and the announcers sold his frog splash like his opponent just got killed.

Also when he had the European Title and was hailing from various places like Helsinki and Rome.

This match is also in the Vader collection on the network. I was so mad after watching this and there was no ending. Like why the gently caress would you air a 30 minute match just to tell me to watch main event the next night.

Then I read the comments and they had to ret-con the ending my mentioning it ended in a double countout with no footage. Just a quick mention the next night.

What actually happened was Sid came back out and it set up Vader vs sid at starcade. In between the taping and airing the match Sid was fired.
