My favorite heel turn hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread. Albert turning on Scotty 2 Hotty because he made him dance.

My educated guess is it was made during lean times in the WWF and thus they didn't have the budget to create a better game. Here's more of an open ended question along the same lines; Worst Wrestling Video Game Ever? I'm inclined to go with WCW Backstage Assault. I didn't think it was possible but that game managed to be as bad if not worse than WCW's television product at the time. WWF In Your House and ECW Anarchy Rulz were also lousy.

I need to make a point to watch some of these shows. I'm always up for some good WrestleCrap.

Alright this being late in the draft, you have to look a bit deeper. This is the first choice I've actually done a bit of research. I've heard of the name of this guy before but knew little of him other than that. My next pick is an early pioneer of hardcore wrestling alongside The Sheik and Abdullah The Butcher and was one of the top stars in The Los Angeles territory in the '60s and early '70s (Important considering I'm running most of my shows in California). My promotion is sorely lacking a wild man, unpredictable heel and this man more than fits the bill. He wrestled over the course of four decades ('50s, '60s, '70s', and '80s) and gained success in almost every one of them. I plan to use him as a member of Gary Hart's stable of monster heels (and Gino Hernandez) who are hellbent on taking down Kerry and Kevin Von Erich. He's a two time former NWA Americas Heavyweight Champion, NWA Texas Heavyweight Champion, NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Champion, and NWA Hawaii Heavyweight Champion. With my 36th pick in the All Time Wrestling Roster Draft, I'm proud to select... ...Pampero Firpo! Fun fact: He introduced the phrase "OHHHHH YEEAAAHHH!!!" long before Randy Savage did.

Maybe he drives one of those buses for old people. Geezers and kids are practically one and the same.

Elementary school janitor? Elementary school gym teacher? And very very nice steal there, Dust. He wasn't on my radar but I would have thought The Missing Link would have gotten picked 10-15 rounds ago.

Yeah this is definitely a show that's worsened over the years. '99 WWF is like that in general. A lot of it was fun to watch at the time but it doesn't really hold up at all to repeat viewings. It's weird, I can't think of any other era of wrestling like it really. Still Shane/Test and the main event are both decent matches. Sadly, this is probably the best WWF PPV of '99. A lot of people harp on how bad WCW PPVs were at the time and they most certainly were but when you stop and think about it, the WWF ones weren't all that much better. WCW's lows were certainly lower but IMHO there was one genuinely great PPV that year and it was a WCW show.

Jericholic82 is too much of a nice guy and doesn't post enough to be truly terrible but he's too dumb to be considered anything remotely passable. The posters Milky mentioned at least fail in a spectacular fashion, Jericholic82 is just a dope.

Yeah, it was a free show and John Collins, the guy who ran it did seem mighty shady...there were some interesting threads about it back in the day at Wrestling Classics. Here's one of them summing it up.

Hide the squeegees! But I agree. If they could somehow put their personal differences aside (and they might have to a certain extent by then), I think a Sid Vs Pillman feud would have been gold. Pillman could be his smart aleck self antagonizing the short tempered, dim witted Sid. Would have made for interesting promos at least.

To make more money. Obviously, it won't make nearly as much as the other Star Wars movies. But seeing how it was originally supposed to be a pilot for a TV series, I'm sure it didn't cost all that much so it should make a nice profit. But other than making more money? No, there is no point.

gary, I think it's simply because casual movie fans haven't heard of any of those people you've mentioned. Uwe Boll and Ed Wood (and to a lesser extent Hal P.Warren) are the most commonly cited in articles about terrible directors.

Let's add Movies/DVDs/Television to the folders Marvin should never ever post in. Hell Ride seems to be further proof of the theory that Quentin Tarantino directed movie= Good, Quentin Tarantion Presents= Crap

Well, that was a brain fart on my end. Well they're easily my favorite fungus.

As a (perhaps the only?) fan of the short lived WWA, I was really looking forward to Nathan Jones debut. That guy looked like a star and pre-debut vignettes were gold. Unfortunately, he couldn't wrestle or cut a promo worth a lick. Also didn't help that his heart didn't really seem in it.

Mushrooms have gradually over the course of the past ten years have become my favorite vegetable. There are few better pizza toppings. And a portabella is one of the few worthy options for a meatless burger.

Hey now- he can't suck that much. Have any of you guys had Honky Tonk Man sleep on your couch?

Aren't we supposed to be talking about wrestlers who had great debuts and then quickly fell apart? The Highlanders and The Stalker never really had any potential.

I mostly liked it because of Richard Grieco playing himself and Chazz Palmentari as the wacky club owner. I have a higher tolerance for late '90s/ early '00s comedies than most.

Has Waylon Mercy been mentioned? Great character but unfortunately Dan Spivey was a bit too busted up at that time and had to retire shortly after he debuted.

Blues Brothers 2000 does indeed have some great music. Unfortunately, almost everything else about the movie is terrible. But there is a lot of music in the movie so it's not a complete loss. For the record, I find Night At The Roxbury somewhat amusing but I realize I'm probably in the minority there.

Uh...you're only forgetting Blues Brothers. The greatest of the SNL films. And Office Space could technically be considered an SNL film, correct? Milton originally appeared on shorts on SNL I think.

Fun fact: I will rarely if ever turn down a free concert. I can't think of very many bands I'd turn down for free. At the very least, concerts always make for fun people watching. Of course, this line of thinking led me to attending a Taste of Chaos tour stop two years ago. But yeah, I'd see Poison for free.

I didn't know Damien Demento was still picking up wins in April '93. I knew he got some wins upon initially entering the company but I thought he was JTTS material for most of his run.

Out of all the rosters, I'm more curious to see what Drury can put together. I mean good lord...what a...uh...interesting roster.
