Another gripe: The hottest thing on Raw right now is in a fricking tag team match...


I will be very interested to see how Rousey performs...she still needs a lot of work with the mic

I can grant these.

quote:

Funk, Double A, Tully, Ole, Sting, Muta, the Steiners, Flyin Brian




DX was the best stable ever. Hell the Heenan Family when it had Andre and Ted Dibiase was better than any version of the Horsemen...especially the one that had boring arse Tully and Ole.

Sting was basically a nobody....he couldn't draw like Shawn, Hogan, Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man...all those guys drew more money in WWF than Sting did in WCW. There is a reason Vince never pushed hard for Sting.

Muta ...who?

The Steiners....a tag team probably shouldn't be talked about here....but if you want we can. The Steiner's were OK but nothing special.

Flyin Brian....the only thing that ever drew money with this guy is when he pulled a gun on Stone Cold in the WWF.

quote:

The WCW mid-card cruiserweights of the late 1990's are, by themselves, better than any garbage WWE has put out in nearly 2 decades.


You realize that in the last 2 decades WWF/E made these same WCW cruiserweights top of the card main event champions. It's the reason that Jericho, Rey, Guerrero, etc left WCW.


The bottom line is that in those guys prime in WCW the WWF was outdrawing and out-earning WCW by pretty much every measure. The only time that WCW outdrew WWF/E was when Hogan, Hall, and Nash were apart of the hottest angle ever in wrestling for about 2 years in the late 90s.

WWE uses this as a punching bag in their WCW retrospectives, but then gave Jersey Shore's Snooky a Wrestlemania match and had Triple H walk down the Mania stage as a Terminator.

There have always been F-list celebrities associated with WrestleMania.....if I were Vince I'd probably get away from it....but it has been in place since Mr. T was involved at the first one.

OK.

Bottom line is nothing the WWF has ever done was as stupid as the Yeti at Havoc 1995, Glacier's build up prior to his debut, or David Arquette winning the top title...in my opinion. There are other too...I mean hell we didn't even discuss Judy Bagwell on a pole or Hogan v Warrior II


ETA There are reasons why WCW bombed and was bought by Vince. That didn't happen by WCW consistently doing stuff better than the WWF/E over the years.

I started following WWF around 86-87 I think. My first live event was in 88.

See above and give me some examples and I'm sure I can help you understand why your wrong.

Also, if you're going to mention something that happened before Vince Jr took over in New York...it doesn't matter.

You do realize that WrestleMania VI is one of the best WrestleMania's of all time. It drew money like crazy with Warrior winning the last match. The Warrior's low points were in WCW

Papa Shango....so of the hokey gimmicks you could have brought up that WWF did between Hogan and the Attitude Era you actually pull one out that was fairly interesting when he debuted...crazy.

ETA Had to be sure....but that Hogan v Warrior match at VI was PWI match of the year in '90. I thought it was but had to be certain.

WMVI was my favorite WM ever, and that Hogan-Warrior match is my all-time favorite.

Yes, I'm going to include a gimmick that involved a magical shaman cursing another person into vomiting pea soup.

Scared the shite out of me as a kid though, to be fair.
