That Hogan run is exceptionally bad. Starts with the Fingerpoke and ends in the first blood match that Ric Flair started bleeding first.

Just in case you needed more reason to vote Chono

I did kind of enjoy the ‘Dolph turns face by getting his head kicked entirely off of his shoulders’ story of the rematch,, and as discussed upthread the cash in was nuclear hot. Gonna have to give it to mr. ziggles

it was technically ric flair but spiritually barry windham had the final legitimate nwa world title reign. after that it was all dead bullshit. it probably felt very important to him too even past its expiration date considering he was never allowed to win the 2 or 3 times he could have easily run with it. it feels sad and worthy of recognition in some way

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.

Losing the belt to Angle is mildly better than being stripped of it with an insider crack from 6 years prior. Although my husband and I do yell "Sid!" when we can't find our scissors.
