  1. The WWF ruined Lex Luger as a main event player

    Great response! A few counters: Ric Flair may have refused to drop the belt to Luger at Starrcade 88. I'm not certain why, although it may have been a political move due to the recent change in ownership to Turner. Five Reasons You Cannot Blame Jim Herd for Firing Ric Flair In some respects...

    From his debut in Jim Crockett Promotions in 1987 he was a unique individual. Not burdened with a goofy or fantastic gimmick, Luger was presented in a straightforward fashion - a dominant athlete with the size and physique of Hulk Hogan (and later Ultimate Warrior) and the intensity of Paul...

  3. The Big Show is ripped!

  5. A Better Sgt Slaughter face turn post SummerSlam 91

    A thing that frustrated me as a WWF fan in my youth was the abrupt face-turn of Sgt Slaughter after SummerSlam. I felt that it lacked any real effort to get Slaughter over as a babyface, other than Remus saying that "I want my country back". In the storyline, he had aligned himself with Iraqi...

  6. How would you book John Cena turning heel?

    I wrote this last summer right before Roman received his Wellness Violation. At the time, I was projecting a long tenure as champion for Roman, and I felt that this would lead to Cena's heel turn at SummerSlam 2017. Since WWE's core business model since 2005 has revolved around one figurehead...

  9. Most Deserving Potential WWE Hall Of Fame Inductees From The Mind Of: “The Prodigal One” JayB

    Political considerations aside, I would say the following deserve induction: Elizabeth - A key figure in the WWF from 1985 to 1992, and the most prominent female personality in the WWF's Golden Era. Demolition - For the reasons that you said. The tag-team most synonymous with late 80s WWF...

  10. 3 Wrestlers You May Get Bashed for Liking

    Okay, here's a few:

  11. What If It Was The Attitude Era...Today?

    Okay, if all of the parameters of the Attitude Era were in effect (and WWE was prepared to absorb the media firestorm that would ensue)...I'll start with two. "The Anarchist" Dean Ambrose - Part Joker, part Brian Pillman, this version of Dean Ambrose is the cornerstone of the company. Random...

  13. Career Retrospect - Bob Bradley

    I thought he was an interesting undercard wrestler. He had far more offense diversity than many other talents in the undercard (like Mike Sharpe, Barry Horowitz, Terry Gibbs, and Jim Powers) and was the first US wrestler that I ever saw attempt a handspring elbow, and the first one to do so...

  14. Career Retrospect - Bob Bradley
