Not sure about his WWE career though He was a face in the WWF in 1979-80 and I think someone in the Hulk Hogan thread posted a heel Hogan vs. a face DiBiase match from that time period.

Who was that terrible guest commentator from some early 90's PPV who kept asking how much everyone weighed, and all around knew nothing about wrestling and I think even kept getting wrestlers names wrong? I remember him particularly in what I think was a Razor Ramon/Mr.Perfect match. Art Donovan?

grody but still def posted:02-03. Especially late 2002- early 2003 - the HHH/Kane, HHH/Steiner and HHH/Nash feuds were a thousand times more  than the never ending HHH/HBK/Cena/Orton and Legacy incest. At least the matches now aren't completely awful - hell, I actually loved the Summerslam DX/Legacy match.Like now, it was Smackdown that provided the awesome with the SD Six (Angle, Benoit, Los Guerreros, Edge, Rey Mysterio). Smackdown's probably more stacked now - there's probably only one or two workrate disasters (Khali is the only one I can think of - and they're actually making him interesting as a face). Smackdown has or has had since the draft: Main eventers: Punk, Undertaker, Jeff Hardy (until he left), Edge (until he got injured) Upper midcard: Morrison, Kane, Matt Hardy, Khali, Jericho, Rey, Dolph Ziggler Lower midcard: Finlay, Cryme Tyme, Hart Dynasty, Mike Knox, R-Truth, Drew McIntyre Jobbers: local talent plus Charlie Haas and Jesse They've even had a decently paced and entertaining Teddy Long/Vince storyline. The only minus is probably the divas but they've at least managed to pair Maria and Eve with Ziggler and Cryme Tyme respectively and make both of them more interesting. The announcing is fine: JR's grizzled announcing veteran and Grish's enthusiasm gel well. Raw is also pretty top heavy but there's no direction: Main eventers: Orton, Batista (when he comes back), John Cena, HBK, HHH Upper midcard: Dibiase/Rhodes, Mark Henry, MVP, Kofi, Big Show Lower midcard (mostly interchangeable with upper midcard): Carlito, Masters, Bourne, Swagger, Miz Jobbers/comedy acts: Santino, Primo, Hornswoggle, Chavo The divas are the divas. There's no Trish or Lita figure that's saving the division right now. There's no excuse why Raw can't be as cleanly written as Smackdown. The guest host gimmick is a good one and is probably the only thing that's saved Raw from being a complete atrocity. The best hosts either furthered a storyline (Dusty, Dibiase, Batista) or had so much charisma and/or enthusiasm that it rubbed off on others (Bob Barker, Freddie Prince, Seth Green and especially Shaq - Shaq would be a perfect fit in the world of pro wrestling). The announcing is the worst in the WWE - shut the gently caress up for Cole and Lawler needs to be a heel commentator or retire/ As for ECW, I kinda like the dynamic there, there's Christian, Dreamer and then everyone else is at roughly equal footing except for the feud of the moment (like Regal/Zeke/Kozlov now). Christian is probably one of the only everyman wrestlers in the WWE right now - he can do comedy, serious, he can wrestle different styles - only rivaled by Jericho - and he can do it all great. Striker and Josh Matthews have a buddy-buddy relationship and Matt Striker's wrestling logic and knowledge plus his pop culture references are definitely a plus. The signings of Danielson and Nigel are promising - I think Nigel ends up on the SD midcard and assume a Knox/Finlay role and Bryan Danielson gets a rocket strapped to his rear end on ECW and makes his mark quickly (a la Bourne/Punk/Swagger). nyratk1 fucked around with this message at 13:19 on Sep 10, 2009 |

TL posted:It was essentially Triple H's attempt at reforming the Horsemen. They were booed. They got heat. Not the massive, Horseman like heat they were going for. Actually, HHH was supposed to be the "Ric Flair" of the group, but IIRC, Randy Orton got the most heat. He did compare a malfunctioning mic to Goldberg saying they both don't work correctly.
