On the one hand, this was wrestling when I was 8 years old.



On the other hand, we sure did think it was awesome. But I also think AEW in 2022 is awesome and is probably objectively better.

pretty fucking embarrassing to watch
I like lists that have weird options; it’s a lot more interesting to discuss the thinking behind Manias 4 and 9 being on that list than if he just posted the cookie cutter “Best Wrestlemanias” list. Especially since it’s all the old ones so people that think current WWE is great are confused.

Finding out recently that Bundy got let go during his 1980s run because he took on an advertising job for a computer company without getting Vince's blessing or giving Vince the cut he felt Bundy owed him was certainly something. Turns out he was always shaking down his talent, not just when they started making money on Twitch.

I would probably put 9 on my list but it's purely on nostalgia. Most of the Wrestlemanias I saw by renting the tape from my local video store, but my aunt got me Wrestlemania IX so I watched that so many loving times that even the garbage is seared in my brain as cool. It is absolute garbage from any objective perspective but Money Inc vs Hogan & Beefcake is in my brain like it's Kobashi & Kikuchi vs the CanAms. Nostalgia is a hell of a narcotic.

I love Mania 4 but I was also 4 when it happened so that's probably a big part of it. The show itself is not great because of a lot of lackluster tournament matches, but I love the battle royal and Bret's face turn plus Macho winning the belt. It also has Demolition vs Strike Force and those are 2 of my favorite teams.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



They honestly should have cut the tournament to 8 men (if they were insistent on having one):

Hogan
Andre

DiBiase
Steamboat

Savage
Rude

One Man Gang
Duggan

Then have Hogan/Andre go out as a double DQ, giving DiBiase a bye into the final. Have Savage have rough time with Rude, then barely make it by Gang (who beats Duggan easily). Then Savage barely gets by Gang into the final.

Or do something where it's like DiBiase versus Greg Valentine, but then DiBiase pays him to take a countout loss, so DiBiase goes straight to the final.

38, actually.

A cable network launched in 2020 that Shad Khan put money into, and now apparently does not want to put any more money into.

One of the big differences between the XFL and The Black News Network is that Vince McMahon was both the owner and chief executive/spokesperson for the XFL while simultaneously being the primary owner/chief executive for the WWE.

Shad Khan invested $50M into a company, does not appear to have any day-to-day involvement with the Black News Channel. He actually doesn't seem to have any day-to-day involvement with AEW either, but it' the same thing I guess.

Does Shad nominally own AEW? I know Tony made a big deal out of the fact that he owns ROH outright under his own name (or a company under his own name, to be more specific).

He put money into the initial startup and is listed as a co-owner with Tony, but is otherwise hands off

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
