I see a lot of posts on Wrestlehut about guys who should turn heel because they're more awesome that way. I want answers on the reverse: who only works as a face and sucks as a heel?

The answers I bring to the table are:

Khali
Tommy Dreamer
Sting
Jeff Hardy

That's a long, very opinionated question that would probably be best served to the WWE thread?

Where does the Vanguard Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight title rank versus the other world belts? Is it more prestigious then the big gold belt?

The guy is a fine announcer but wasn't he charging like 250K an appearance?

Its just not worth it.

I wonder if Bruce Buffer is for hire. I find him a lot more fun and interesting than Michael

Is there any reasoning for this beyond "He doesn't have boobies"?

I have to say, ring announcing has gone way downhill since Fink stopped doing it full-time. I will say, though, that I'm a big fan of Justin Roberts on SmackDown.

I've always been a big fan of Tony Chimel. Not sure why he's on ECW and not Smackdown but you take what you can get I guess.

I dunno, I always got the impression that it took a lot to get Bret to show up for his induction, and more to the point I think that Owen's death is still one of the big sore spots in Bret's relationship with Vince McMahon.

I feel like opening up the sore wound that is Owen, even for such an event as honoring him in the Hall of Fame, is just more stress and trouble then McMahon actually wants to go through. I dont know that it got any better with time for anyone involved and Bret will probably spout off at the mic about how it was entirely preventable and McMahon is a murderer.

I remember this and was so sad. I was the biggest Headbangers mark on the planet :(

I hated the Headbangers because I could never beat Mosh in WWF Warzone for the N64. That game sucked and a result of my youthful inability to get a grasp of the controls (compared to the superior WCW vs NWO World Tour), I hated the Headbangers.

To add; It has a sticker on it that says "Title". That implies to me that there is a SEPERATE bell for title and non-title matches. Title-match bell is holding Non-title-match bell down.

Non title match bell is in the doghouse

Triple H tore his quad right before the Invasion storyline, effectively ending the Two Man Power Trip and beginning the Invasion. Do you feel Triple H's presence during Invasion would have affected, either positively or negatively, the way the storyline progressed? With whom would he have feuded with? Would Austin's defection have made a bigger impact given the Two Man Power Trip history? Certainly some things, like the poor reception and delivery of a Buff Bagwell/Booker T main event and the toxic nature of the WCW brand, can not be excused, but one must consider, given Triple H's respect for the business and influence with Vince, if things may have executed themselves better. Thoughts?

Similarly, Chris Benoit, perhaps one of the most beloved wrestlers to come out of WCW, missed the Invasion due to neck surgery. Would his presence as a part of the Alliance solidified their status as a legitimate threat?

Well he listed Kane and Big Show which were run-ins and everyone else was an in-ring debut. He means their first appearance

I just watched Cody's new entrance and noticed he did a very Goldust-esque bite at the camera. Doubt it's a coincidence, has he done that much before now?

Glad they finally gave him a gimmick that lets him do that, it really suits his "handsome but also sort of weird" look.

Are you talking about when he says "Dashing" to himself when looking into the fake mirror?

I argue Undertaker was bigger than being ranked low 10's. If you talk to anyone who even had an idea of wrestling in the late 90s and say "UNDERTAKER" they almost always certainly know who you mean, and his continued ability to move t-shirts and 7-11 cups presently is a testament to his drawing power.

DX as a group was pretty big and definitely had most people talking. I remember in 6th grade it was all crotch chops all day. I'd say probably them after Rock, Austin and Mr. McMahon and Undertaker.

1. Rock/Austin
2. Austin/Rock
3. Mr. McMahon
4. Undertaker
5. DX

Oops, wrong year.

I was honestly just trying to think of a match up that didn't sound anywhere near as impressive as Cody Rhodes vs. Daniel Bryan that got a poo poo ton of more crowd reaction.

Gillberg vs. Christian might have been better.

FACT: More people in attendance = a much more audible reaction :eng101:
