USC Wuz Robbed!

He doesn't care. The Super Bowl is the big time, and he might never get back. It is the job of the Eagles to tell him they can't afford a career ending injury and need him next year. If Reid lets him play, he is making a big mistake. His job depends on more than just one game. If TO shatters his leg in a game that they probably won't win anyways, and the Eagles go 7-9 next year, is Reid going to be in a good position? Did the Eagles go 7-9 in the three previous years before T.O. when they were in the NFC Championship? No. Was T.O. on the field when the Eagles won the championship this year? No. You can only lose so many high-profile games before management gets tired of you.

I know. I got it. Anyways, they should still have used an actual ECW PPV name. If they have no problems taking names from WCW (GAB) why not from ECW, considering its an ECW PPV....

...hence the message "If Survivor Series Wasn't That Month" Meaning they should have done it in November. ...heck, they could have used Heat Wave, Guilty as Charged, Anarchy Rulz...any of those would have worked better than "One Night Stand" for an ECW PPV. I'd go with Heatwave or Hardcore Heaven.

November to Remember in June?

Patriots win 24-17. I see Philly able to pull off 2 TDs and maybe a FG, nothing more. Patriots will only score 1 TD more than Philly.

Because the city of Philadelphia invested heavily in TO. They went apeshit when TO was signing with them. They were already pegged Super Bowl favorites. Now if Reid allowed TO to play, and TO ended his career due to an injury in the Super Bowl, I don't think the City of Brotherly Love would have too much love for Reid.

It's not entirely irrevelant. People look into the history of a certain wrestler, and can detect a pattern. For example HHH. Why are people predisposed to expect HHH wins every time out? It's because he does. He doesn't understand what putting people over is, as you said. Same with Hogan. We don't expect to see him job because he rarely does. Other people may not agree with me, as you obviously don't, which is fine. That's just how I work, how I analyze, how I determine future outcomes, by looking at their history. I'm still waiting for Hogan to job to Bret like planned in 1993 However you're right about the daughter. Hogan's involvement probably gave her more media attention than she would have otherwise, however there is a time where he has to step aside and let her try to be her own star.

Rudo, I know you weren't directing that to me in the first place, I just thought to mention it. The reasons people dismiss Hogan's generosity is because he has long conditioned the internet fans or fans in the know to believe that the ONLY person Hogan cares about is Hogan himself. Hell he even tries to leech off his no-talent daughter's heat. So while the possibility of Hogan jobbing to Benoit is there, and if Vince was serious about pushing Benoit to the point that Hogan's whining wouldn't have deterred him, then yes Hogan would have jobbed, however if Hogan had his way, he wouldnt even FACE Chris Benoit, let alone lose to him. Hogan and Benoit WERE in WCW together and Hogan made no attempts to get into a program with Benoit (though some of the fault goes to Eric Bischoff and the other bookers for not making Benoit a threat enough to face Hogan).

3 vs maybe thousands of times he refused to job or simply went home before doing such a thing... forgive me if I don't sing his praises. Though I do see your point. Hogan WOULD have jobbed to Benoit if Vince convinced him there was something in it for him (respect, etc)

Hey, at least you got the debut of the greatest entrance ever. Oh yes. I was pissed they cut his entrance in half. The LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG video and entrance was PERFECT for the heel Hollywood Rock.

IIRC Hogan's beef was not jobbing I think, it was him not being used correctly (Hogan didn't like the Mr. America angle) and the fact Vince wouldn't put Hulk in main events consistently. I may be wrong though.

Well if Reid gets fired for ONE thing, it's being responsible for the ending of TO's career.

Eh that thread and this one is chronologically incorrect. Not to mention some people skipped perfectly good jokes for an older one... I give the classic thread a **** and this one a **1/4...

This thread is the poor man's version of this one: The REAL Stuff

Not too many people here were old enough to consciously order Mania 2 (I didn't. I was fortunate... or unfortunate, however you like to look at it to have a family member be a wrestling mark as well). And you're right, the show in general wasn't very good, but hey you got Ricky Schroeder!

Yes King Tubby.

OMG, did you totally see that Taker teaser video? Is he coming back?!

No apologies necessary. On the topic, KOTR95. Hands down. GAB 91 is close by only because to combat the lack of Flair, they put the title on face Luger, THEN TURNED HIM HEEL.

Yes, I wasn't actually asking for a logical explanation, I do get the concept of Champion vs Challenger. *sigh. I was actually addressing AmazingRen, as he or she was the one to ask originally.

Larry Bird?

Wait a second, are you trying to tell me that security guard is clairvoyant? If so, why doesn't WWE just ask him who wins the Rumble before the match is even started? Silly WWE! Wasting 30mins-1 hour on something that's completely avoidable!

Big Show was the champion. He was feuding with Big Bossman. Hence, Big Show vs Big Bossman for the title. Same with Lesnar/Holly.

No. The security guard saw Rocky's feet hit first, remember. That guy knows more about this business than Meltzer or anybody else. Let's see what number DeBiase buys. Wait, how could that be? Rocky, Big Show, Bret Hart and Lex Luger all took spills to the floor? INSANE!

15G!

I thought the Big Show hit first?
