Re: Possible tape error for WM IX. I know the copy I have with the Collection does this really weird jump when Beefcake and IRS are crawling to make a tag... it just jumps instantly to Hogan being in the ring punching DiBiase. Something like that, anyway. Is this what you think you may have noticed?

Actually Undertaker was a replacement for an injured (perhaps worked) Tatanka. Undertaker displayed his patriotic nature when it was announced he was the new member of the team by having the stars and stripes inside his trenchcoat. It was a very moving episode of SUperstars... I guess, I'm Canadian. I was going for the Quebeccers.

The first two are Co-brand PPVs but I agree with Backlash 2004 / Vengeance 2005 priase.

My problem is more the issue of my VHS tapes being in fine, unedited, original PPV airing release condition. No Coliseum extras or edits, no WWE home video music edits. I'd be paying for something I already own and though I love WrestleMania's in the grand scheme of things, a lot of those shows aren't worth owning two copies of - DVD quality or not. This won't stop me from buying the set if I ever see it cheap though.

Since this somehow turned into a 24/7 Online discussion thread, I suggest watching Brian Christopher vs Tijari from the October matches. It has a hilarious line form lawler about Judo and Vince and JR rip on Hogan movies (No Holds Barred, no profits required).

Well this is a Joey Styles thread to nuts to you, Slickster! I recall hearing that there was some consideration to bring in Styles when Goldberg (who, by the way, was going to be renamed if he signed) turned them down, but he "has too many enemies".

"Christian" is under WWE copyright according to something someone sent to PWInsider.

I just hope that Goldust isn't suffering from his post-electrocution disorder anymore.

Well near as I can tell, it was supposed to be a short term team with the obvious Eddie turn, but Eddie got too over as a babyface again. Meltzer referred to the post-Series teaming as "movie buddies" (?)

I remember his IC title match with Jericho... that was really great and I actually thought Goldust could take it.

Woah woah... Vader is ACTUALLY back? I just assumed he was there because he signed a Legends contract and could make paid appearance cameos (like the other Legends). Anyway, I say either give Goldust the IC title or send him to SmackDown! (since his current issue seems to be with Batista). Heel Bookdust vs. the now long term (according to the latest WON) team of Batista/Eddie = money. Maybe.

This month WWE 24/7 Online features a wide array of classic moments in wrestling history, such as Jake "The Snake" Roberts on the Barber Shop, Paul Orndorff on the Flower Shop, and of course the infamous Piper's Pit featuring Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. Also, you won't want to miss classic matches involving Sgt. Slaughter, Dusty Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Sting, Randy "Macho Man" Savage, just to name a few. All this and more! WCW Starrcade - Dusty Rhodes vs. Lex Luger November 26, 1987 | Approx. run time: 22 mins. Starrcade was WCW's biggest event of the year, and in this one Lex Luger put his United States Championship on the line against Dusty Rhodes in a Steel Cage Match. Luger was a part of the Four Horsemen at the time and had J.J. Dillon in his corner. Would Dillon give Luger the edge he needed to defeat Dusty? WWE Survivor Series - The Perfect Team vs. The Ultimate Warriors November 22, 1990 | Approx. run time: 20 mins. This is a classic Survivor Series-style elimination match pitting Ultimate Warrior, The Texas Tornado & L.O.D against Mr. Perfect and all three members of Demolition. Could the strength of The Warriors overcome their opponents' self-proclaimed perfection? WWE Survivor Series - The All-Americans vs. The Foreign Fanatics November 24, 1993 | Approx. run time: 40 mins. This one was about more than wins and losses. National pride was on the line in this one as Lex Luger, The Steiners and Undertaker fought for the honor of America against The Foreign Fanatics. Yokozuna, Ludvig Borga, Jacques Rougeau and Crush all shared disdain for the U.S., but would that disdain translate into a victory? WWE Survivor Series - Bob Backlund vs. Bret Hart November 23, 1994 | Approx. run time: 41 mins. Bret "Hit Man" Hart was called the Excellence of Execution, but Bob Backlund was one of the few Superstars that could go hold for hold with the Hit Man. Hart had the Sharpshooter and Backlund had the Chicken Wing. Which maneuver would lead to a victory in this Submission Match? WWE Wrestling Challenge - Jake Roberts on The Barber Shop December 28, 1991 | Approx. run time: 3 mins. Jake "The Snake" Roberts was a guest on The Barber Shop. He was there to discuss his very personal rivalry with "Macho Man" Randy Savage. This rivalry was jump-started when Jake, along with Undertaker, crashed Savage's and Elizabeth's wedding at SummerSlam and gave them a cobra as a wedding present. WWE Royal Rumble - Roddy Piper vs. The Mountie January 19, 1992 | Approx. run time: 12 mins. The Mountie shocked the world when he defeated a sick Bret "Hit Man" Hart for the Intercontinental Championship, but he needed his shock stick to get the job done. Roddy Piper took this match on behalf of the Hit Man and tried to avenge Bret's loss by winning his first piece of WWE gold. Would The Mountie have to pay the Piper? WWE - Piper's Pit with Jimmy Snuka June 26, 1984 | Approx. run time: 4 mins. This is widely considered as the most memorable Piper's Pit ever. In this edition, the Rowdy one insults WWE Hall of Famer "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka and adds insult to injury when he smashes a coconut over his head. WCW Nitro - Scott Hall vs. Bret Hart vs. Goldberg vs. Sid November 8, 1999 | Approx. run time: 6 mins. The United States Championship was on the line in a Texas Tornado Ladder Match on this wild edition of Nitro. Scott Hall was the Champion and his buddy Kevin Nash was named the special guest referee. Would his fellow Outsider help lead him to victory? WWE Championship Wrestling - Paul Orndorff on The Flower Shop July 26, 1986 | Approx. run time: 2 mins. "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff used to be a revered crowd favorite, but after he turned on one-time friend Hulk Hogan, he became a hated villain. Shortly after turning his back on the fans, Orndorff appeared on the Flower Shop mocking The Hulkster. You won't want to miss this classic segment. WCW SuperBrawl - The Steiners vs. Lex Luger & Sting May 19, 1991 | Approx. run time: 11 mins. The Steiner Brothers, Lex Luger and Sting were all friends at the time, but Luger and Sting thought they were worthy of a shot at the WCW Tag Team Championship so they asked for a match. The Steiners, being the fighting champions that they were, granted them the shot and the result was a tag team classic. Nikita Koloff got involved in the action as well, but what result would his presence cause? WWE Tuesday in Texas - Jake Roberts vs. Randy Savage December 3, 1991 | Approx. run time: 17 mins. This rivalry was about as personal as it could get. Jake "The Snake" Roberts crashed "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth's wedding and gave them a cobra as a wedding gift. After being attacked by a cobra in the ring as well, Savage came out of retirement to face Roberts. You won't want to miss this brutal grudge match Superstar Billy Graham vs. Dusty Rhodes August 24, 1977 | Approx. run time: 13 mins. Take a trip in the Way Back Machine and watch a WWE Hall of Famer take on a young Dusty Rhodes. Superstar Billy Graham was on a roll in 1977 and had defeated the likes of Chief Jay Strongbow, Gorilla Monsoon, Ivan Putski, Bob Backlund and was the WWE Champion after dethroning Bruno Sammartino. Could Superstar add Dusty Rhodes to his list of victims? WWE WrestleMania VII - Sgt. Slaughter vs. Hulk Hogan March 24, 1991 | Approx. run time: 28 mins. Sgt. Slaughter is often remembered as a huge crowd favorite. But during this time there was no man hated more than the Sarge. He was an Iraqi sympathizer during this time and had turned his back on his country. He had defeated Ultimate Warrior for the WWE Championship and put the gold on the line at WrestleMania VII against Hulk Hogan. Could the "Real American" defeat the turncoat and become WWE Champion once again? WWE - Ric Flair vs. Bret Hart October 12, 1992 | Approx. run time: 27 mins. Most people know about this famous match that took place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, but not many have actually seen it. Now is your chance to witness Bret Hart become WWE Champion for the first time when he upset the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair in his home country of Canada at a live event. WCW Nitro - Syxx vs. Rey Mysterio April 21, 1997 | Approx. run time: 9 mins. The action is incredibly fast-paced in this Cruiserweight classic. Known by WWE fans as X-Pac, Syxx took on Rey Mysterio. Syxx was the Cruiserweight Champion and had the nWo by his side. Could Mysterio pull off the upset and become Champion? WWE RAW - Billionaire Ted Segment February 19, 1996 | Approx. run time: 4 mins. This segment was smack in the middle of the Monday Night Wars. This was a spoof on WCW owner Ted Turner, and showed how deep the hatred ran between WWE and WCW during this time WCW Nitro - Rick Steiner meets Chucky November 12, 1998 | Approx. run time: 4 mins. WCW had its share of bizarre moments over the years, but perhaps no segment was more bizarre than when Rick Steiner was confronted by horror movie icon Chuckie from Child's Play. This segment has to be seen to be believed. WWE RAW - Shawn Michaels vs. Max Moon January 11, 1993 | Approx. run time: 9 mins. Max Moon was a very colorful high-flier that was around for a brief time in the early 1990s. Shawn Michaels took on this mysterious character in a match from the first ever RAW. NWA Clash of the Champions - Sting vs. Mike Rotundo April 1, 1989 | Approx. run time: 16 mins. This was a classic technical wrestling match-up and the Television Championship was on the line. Could Mike Rotundo, better known by WWE fans as I.R.S., walk away with the gold? Or would the Stinger leave as Champion? WCW Uncensored - Hogan & Savage vs. Flair, Arn Anderson, Taskmaster, Faces of Fear, Luger, Z-Gangsta & Ultimate Solution March 24, 1996 | Approx. run time: 27 mins. This will certainly go down as one of the most unique matches in WCW history. This took place in a four-level Steel Cage. Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage had to take on eight men. They had to start at the top of the cage and work their way down until they got to the bottom level and score a pinfall. This is certainly one you won't want to miss.

I guess I was a bit mixed up, but I knew Christian had some role in the "What" invention, even if it was an answering machine. ANyhow I didn't really think the two instances were related but I'm just looking for SOMETHING here. I just can't fathom why WWE would want to jeopardize what they view as their current money match (Hogan/Austin) for the sake of not bringing back JR and putting over Mark Henry.

I could be wrong but I believe Austin and Christian are friends (Christian invented "What"). Perhaps that is also a factor? I just assumed Austin would win but they would say "ok you win, so we'll rehire JR... for WWE.com". The fact they wouldn't even bend for that is really confusing, as HTQ said.

Without reading through three pages of this, has anyone even mentioned that outside of Coachman beating Austin due to help from Henry being ridiculous simply because it IS ridiculous, that they were supposed to be building to an Austin vs Hogan match at WM22? Hogan vs the guy that lost his return match to an announcer with help from Mark Henry. Wonder what the status of that match is now.

So.. anyone else get screwed over yet? Rey will turn out to be a solid choice, so far so good. Candice and Trish were given specialty match points for tonight, plus Candice had an extra appearance, and of course they both have points coming to them tomorrow.... money well spent. Then there's the rest... Flair didn't have a match tonight, HHH did. If HHH wins tomorrow, he'll get a whole bunch of points for the week sicne it apparently IS for the IC title. Hopefully Flair wins for my sake. I just got totally screwed over by Austin, although I side with him so realy I got screwed over by Vince being a retard that thought the best way to build Hogan vs Austin was to job Austin to COACH... with help from MARK HENRY. Conway being in a plain old took away some planned points... but he had a Raw match tonight and multiple object shots to make up for his -4 DQ penalty. Kane seems good enough for tag matches and got a lot of points tonight (I imagine), so I probably made the wrong move swapping him out for Cade. We'll see tomorrow. I am also thinking Angle might win the title now and have Cena fight for it at Survivor Series, but I decided to stop doing the "let's put in all possible winners" thing I usually do when I'm not sure and took a chance with only Cena. I think I'll do fine this week... but I just felt I could have done better now. Oh well.

I really hope they show the top 4 teams on Raw tonight. "CM Punk is the Future" is in 4th place. If they acknowledge this at all on TV (they did for the last 2 weeks or so last season), I really it's fouir crazy team names like the above.

From WWE.com: Despite numerous Internet reports to the contrary, the indestructible Kane is still scheduled to compete at Taboo Tuesday. I guess indestrucible zombies can work through back problems.

Storm's contract ran out in June.

I got a TNA name for him... "Ledge". Eh? EH? Come on! You know you want it.

So which Christian quit WWE? Shawn Michaels?

If they want a talented guy to lose every match while getting over with the fans, call Noble up. Give him a cape and mask, call him Captain Charisma, and have Cole and Tazz pretend it's still Christian. Fake Razor and Diesel reborn!

I suppose he could always sit at home and do nothing until WWE decided to offer him a contract he didn't need to read and sign on the spot... but TNA is probably more likely. I'm a bit conflicted as I loved Christian in the WWE but now that I have easy access to TNA, if WWE is going to ignore him being over, let him go. I just hope WWE doesn't own "peeps".

I think so too, but we have two Matt Stri(y)kers, and "Christian Cage" did come first. Edit: Damnit, didn't realize the indy guy was in OVW (and thus possibly under WWE's blanket).
