Is there an effort post somewhere on how/why Inoki almost destroyed NJPW?

Not an effort post, but from what I understand, he was concerned about the rise of MMA in Japan, and wanted to have his guys prove how tough they were... in shoot fights against MMA guys.

It went about as well as you think it would.

Which Lucha wrestlers who worked for WCW were the best outside of WCW?

Or to put it another way, we’re Rey Mysterio and Eddie the best lucha wrestlers WCW had to offer?

That's not really a fair question, since those are two of the best lucha guys ever

What is Kevin Nash's best match from a workrate point of view?

vs Bret at SS95, most likely

edit: although it's close with the match with HBK where he ripped off Mad Dog Vachon's fake leg and used it as a weapon

ah yes that’s the one

I was reminded of it becaus I was thinking of the dumbest and worst possible ending to the cuck storyline and came up with what if the father was the ghost of Harley Race

E: or the ghost of Chris Benoit, turn it into a proper Rosemary’s Baby horror movie kind of angle

they could use the hologram technology they used with Tupac to have Benoit make an appearance.

i can't act like i wouldn't be glued to the screen while this car wreck happened, however.

So was Paul Roma really as bad people claim? I know a lot of it stems from not fitting in with the Horsemen, but putting Sid in there was loving stupid, too (in the sense that he didn't need them).

Incidentally the story of what happened with Roma on the Horsemen DVD WWE made is pretty funny, in an insanely petty sort of way: apparently, The Horsemen actually were complimentary initially, then were told Roma poo poo talked them, and they re-filmed the scenes with AA and Flair burying him.

Paul was a terrible Horseman, but he was an alright low midcarder, I guess.

I wish Austin had found his way into the Horsemen somehow. :smith:

Stunning Steve would have been perfect fit

Grain of salt because I don't remember the source, but there was supposedly an angle in the works shortly before Austin got buried after Hogan showed up, where Steve was supposed to be Flair's illegitimate son.

I think it was supposed to be a Flair vs Austin feud beginning, though, not with Steve joining the crew.

Greg Valentine also claims he was offered to be a Horseman, which actually sorta makes sense considering how close Flair and him are and how close Flair was to Greg's dad Johnny.

You can almost physically see the brakes being put on Austin as soon as Hogan, et all comes in.

The Hollywood Blonds becoming part of the Horsemen would've been a really smart way to keep the group relevant in the mid-90s and could've been used to springboard Austin and Pillman up the card... if Hogan, Dusty et al actually wanted to push new talent.

Flair was trying, until Hogan came in.

I just don't see how it isn't 5, unless Goldberg's run in bothers Dave that much. Its REALLY well played out, has a compelling story, Brock takes 2 crazy bumps considering he was still around 300 lbs at the time, and the right guy went over.

If you were just correcting me, I know Dave didn't give it 5. Hence my complaint.

That was a joke, referencing when people got Outraged(tm) that Dave didn't give HBK/Taker five stars that one time, I dunno what he actually gave it.

“I could cultivate her into something I could want!” is the capstone to that promo, and it’s somehow the least creepiest thing in the entire promo. The most is him, heavily breathing, begging Macho to bring her with him the next time they cross paths. It just builds and builds:

Are you enjoying it and having a good time? Then it's good. It's like any other entertainment, it's subjective.
