Lesnar vs prime Bigelow would've been a fun spectacle but Bigelow's body was already falling apart at that point.

Thread is good, only thing I'd change about it is expanding it to all the old fuckers with Podcasts. I need updates from Russo, Bischoff, Road Dogg and basically anyone who's upset that they've been shown up by an E-Fed booker. If you booked in TNA and have the gall to criticize anyone, I want one convenient thread to dunk on you in.

Listened to every old guy podcast and turns out they personally were responsible for all good things, and not responsible for any bad things

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



all I remember from that turd of a dvd is that Corny wanted Regal and Benoit to have a worked shoot in the ring

Hey Cornette fan, Jim Cornette sucks because he has Confederate Flag merchandise in his living room. Can you go do your research to prove me wrong and post pictures of the stuff and how it is actually ok? I don't really care that he has this stuff but it's really funny stuff like you'd see in a grandma's living room and I want to see the picture again. Thanks!

I mean, I'd buy a ticket to see that card

The card itself isn't terrible, the booking to get to that card and the finishes of the matches are loving awful. Give it some tweaks and completely change the build, and it would probably be remembered as one of the better Manias.

Off the top of my head I'd make Funk Vs Taker a No DQ and put it in the slot where Flair Vs Taker was at actual Mania 18, Put the Dudley's against the Steiner's instead of the Road Warriors and add some tables, Swap out Bigelow for DDP (Lesner is green as gently caress so DDP laying everything out would probably make for a good match like it did with Goldberg), add in Trish Stratus Vs Medusa, Kane/Show can face Hall/Nash in some bullshit 7 minute affair where X-Pac does a run in, swap the Hardy's and Edge and Christian, Sting Vs The Rock for the belt and make Austin/McMahon Vs Hogan/Flair for the control of the company, McMahon and Hogan betray both of their partners and Vince pins Flair and Hogan gives McMahon an NWO shirt.


And then Raven comes out and gives them both The Evenflow CAW CAW CAW EC-DUB

The card itself is terrible. We've seen Austin vs Foley many times before, but it's at least good.

Undertaker vs Funk would be awful.

Rock vs Sting would likely not be good, maybe Sting is motivated and good but in that era? Eh.

The Hogan, Vince and Dudleys matches would all be really bad. Angle/Benoit would be good but the rest is just a mix of average to good matches, mostly with bad mixes of talent.

It's all meaningless because people put these cards together randomly to get a payday for a shoot interview but it's an awful card.

I got upset posting about Jay Briscoe, just to bring this full circle. I don't consider myself "Cornette fan" rather than someone who got upset about contributing a tribute expecting a little memorialization and got the hyena crowd in instead. A situation I would have ignored normally, but I jumped into it for some reason this time.

I don't think confederate flag poo poo belongs anywhere in modern society.

IMO the best possible fantasy match is Vader vs. Vader with Vader as the referee. There are trampolines at ringside.

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.

Just watch SMW

He had a championship that would be vacated if the champion made five successful defenses.

He called it the "Beat The Champion" TV Title.

That's like calling the Super Bowl/World Series/Stanley Cup/etc. the "Most Points is the Winner" Championship

the beat the champ belt was insanely dumb because how are you gonna get invested in any of those matches? youre either cheering for your guy to win 5 times and then not be champion anymore because hes stripped of his accolades for kicking too much rear end, or youre cheering for someone to get a belt that doesnt mean anything.

In reality you can only win the belt while listening to the Mountain Goats

Brilliant idea, actually

At least I don't dance with them, right?
I could see that concept working if you get your name added to the List of True Champions when you vacate it, but that only works if there's already a list of title holders who managed to win five times and went on to become legends. It isn't something that works at all while you're trying to establish it, and it just takes one person going all the way that ends up being a wet fart to ruin the whole thing.

I could see it working if you got a world title shot after 5 defenses. I assume that wasn't the case.

They were awarded "money" for every successful defense: $1,000 for the first four, then $5,000 for defense number 5, at which point the belt would be vacated.
