Kosmo Gallion posted:Which of these would be worst? -Flair can make almost anything work. -Hogan needs to be the leader in whatever group he's in, flat out. He would never agree otherwise. I don't think the other Horsemen would ever agree to this, politically. -Bret wouldn't be a fit for them at all, unless it was a better version of Cena being stuck in whatever that group of NXT people was. Before The Corre (Christ) -See Hogan with the Horsemen. I'm guessing Hogan. There's just no way any of it works out to be a good angle unless you somehow remove Hogan's politicking.

Did they ever lean into the heartbreak kid thing in his feud with Bret? How they resisted at least a graphic saying “The Hartbreak Kid” is showing more restraint than I thought they’d be capable of.

Watching DDT I'm left with a question Would you rather be body slammed on to a pile of Lego or be smashed over the back with a light tube? I pick the light tube

I’d go with lego but I’ve got a visceral fear of being cut/stabbed/that sort of thing

Legos hands down. I've seen all the clips of light tubes gone wrong, and I've also worked with people who have accidentally cut themselves bad dealing with bulbs.

Kosmo Gallion posted:Which of these would be worst? The nwo had the weakest identity of the groups so while a Flair-led nwo would look different than the one we remember, it would still be a functional group that you could coherently book since the nwo changing in character isn’t that big of a deal. Hogan wouldn’t work because any group he’s a part of turns into Hogan’s group and while a Hogan and 3 bad rear end buddies watching his back might work as a group, it wouldn’t be the Horsemen. I don’t know what Bret would actually do in DX and he’d probably be bad at it, but assuming you could convince him to do it in the first place, he’d probably at least give it an honest try on screen even if he’d be grumbling about it behind the scenes. The Hart Foundation is the hardest to incorporate any outsider - not just Michaels - into because of the real family aspect of the group. You’d have to do a short term angle with something like Michaels dating a Hart sister and reluctantly joining just to overcome the huge amount of suspension of disbelief required just to get him into the group in the first place.

Eh, it's wrestling, they handwave stuff like that all of the time. The original lineup had Jimmy Hart who just happened to share a last name with Bret. They'd say "Bret and Shawn have more history than most brothers do!" and then two months later the whole group would turn on Shawn and it would be "well you know what they say, blood is thicker than water!" and it would all set up another big Bret vs. Shawn feud. Bret in DX probably would have been hilarious because you'd have him being the corny dad of the group while all of the other members make fun of him. I actually kinda wish that had happened now. Ric Flair in the nWo would have been a lot like Ric Flair in Evolution, I'm thinking. Flair could have been the hype man for pretty much any wrestling group ever.

Every time I go back and enjoy Davey Boy's "because I'm bizarre!" promo, somebody inevitably says in the comments "he's gonna win, whether he likes it or not." I assume this is a reference to some other weird promo but I don't know which or where?

I heard somewhere that Bulldog was using "I'm gonna win whether you like it or not" as a catchphrase at the time and the kid means Bulldog is gonna win whether Bret likes it or not? Though I've never personally seen Bulldog say this that I can remember.

There's an argument for Sasha Banks since I think her entire career has been WWE adjacent (I believe her first promotion was a feeder league similar to OVW, but I could be wrong)

From the current roster, you can make arguments for (using the bare minimum definition of "success" as "is on Raw or Smackdown") with the Miz debuting on the main roster in 2006, and counting OVW/FCW: Alexa Bliss Angelo Dawkins Bianca Belair Big E Commander Azeez Chad Gable Charlotte Flair Carmella Dana Brooke Dominik Mysterio Eva Marie Happy Corbin Jey Uso Jimmy Uso Liv Morgan Mandy Rose Montez Ford Naomi Nia Jax Omos Reginald Riddick Moss Roman Reigns Titus O'Neil

Kennel posted:Who are the best 6+ft women in wrestling?  I'm googling every tall wrestling lady I can think of and every one of them that I thought might have made the list is under six feet. Jessiac Havok (6'0") and Alpha Female / Jazzy Gabert (6'1") might qualify but I haven't seen enough of their matches to be able to say if they're good or not.

Jennacide is 6 feet even and she's still green, but not terrible by any means. Max the Impaler's somewhere around 6 feet too, I think.
