Is there a particular reason why WWE never seems to talk about Victoria? She seemed like a shoo-in for a lot of countdown programming like the Best Finishers special or the Countdown episode about top divas but she seems to have been stricken from the record. She was pretty much a comedy act for her last couple years in the company so it's probably not a TNA thing.

For that matter, they never really seem to talk about Jazz or Molly Holly either. Do they have dirt on all of them or is history telling us that the women's division post-Attitude was just Trish and Lita?

Trish and Lita were the stars and are on good terms, so there's no need for everyone else. Pretty sure Jazz and Victoria have heat, but Jazz wasn't that big of a star. Molly is loved backstage and considered one of the best human being in wrestling but is voluntarily, completely out of the business.

I'd put HHH vs Jericho up there, mainly because it was positioned horribly as a co-main with Hogan vs Rock.

Even so, does it really deserve to be considered among Cena/Miz, Hogan/Andre, Hogan/Bundy, Hogan/Sid, Hogan/Slaughter, and Orton/HHH?

I don't know what to tell somebody who thinks Hogan/Andre was a horrible main event. It is great for what it needed to be and was the draw for a massive show. If you're poo-pooing it because it doesn't measure up to today's standards that's not realistic or fair.

So when and how did WWF drop the Titan Sports bullshit and how did that even start and was ICOPRO any good?

Titan Sports was formed by Vince as a business entity, which he used when buying the WWF from his father and the other stockholders. He dropped it around the time when WWE went public, since that was the recognizable company name.

ICOPRO was crap, like most of the supplements that were out there. There's a story about a wrestler or their son (I think Mr. perfect) trying it and getting diarrhea.

Ricky Steamboat was just godawful on the mic. Like, his promo skills were inversely proportional to his ring skills.

It was fun when he feuded with Jericho though. It was like when they do Old School Raw and guys like Cowboy Bob Orton were never great promos but come across as real talkers because most of the current talent is so scripted and flat.

Flair has a great opinion on Steamboat, that he's the greatest face but not the greatest wrestler because he never worked heel too.

They're good on YouTube 30 years later, but a YouTube video isn't supposed to convince you to buy a ticket to a wrestling match in the 1980s. That's what Warrior's promos were supposed to do, and by that standard they weren't so great.

Warrior had to be carefully managed at all times, and that slacked off once he actually had the belt. In WCW you can see him coming in at the main-event level and being horribly managed.

Warrior always seemed like an attraction, not a main event draw. He was fun at what he did buy that didn't mean he was the main reason to watch.

I don't think Patterson publicly came out until he was on Legend's House.

Patterson was publicly closeted until somewhere between joining the office in the 1980s and the early 90s sex scandal. He was out among friends and in the business in the 70s. In a podcast with Austin he says Roy Shire wasn't sure about bringing him into San Francisco because he was gay and he promised he would never get the promotion in trouble.

Was there ever a wrestling wedding that didn't go sideways halfway through the segment?

Butcher Vachon and Ophelia in the WWF. It was kind of a ruckus but they were heels so I think it was fair. Awesome food fight at the end too.

David Schultz made so many odd decisions in the WWF.
