Best one-on-one, one hour match of all time?

Man, Scorpio would have been top three if he didnt start fucking with that crack rock. He blew a really good opportunity in the WWF.

Why are you trying to make light of, and minimize, Benoit murdering his family? Over the years we made all kind of character assassinations and assumptions about guys like HBK, Nash, Hall, HHH, ext... Because they looked our for themselves and didnt play "fair" with anointed internet favorites. Benoit murders his son and wife and its like "so". Yes he was a great wrestler ---- BUT DAMN. As far as Verne goes, this story is super random. Dont know what to make of it. Getting old sucks. You dont know what the hell you're doing at a certain point. But he was really, really good at it. Much of TSM can forgive brutal, premeditated woman/child murder because of that, why can't you? Yeah, I know. Its really fucked up to me, because I remember how for years posters would call guys like Hogan and Nash "pieces of shit" and claim that they were horrible human beings because they played "politics". Hell, to this day the will still go in on those guys like that. But confronted with true evil, they want to shrug their shoulders because being a great wrestler and having a legion of marks should apparently trump all --- even murdering your own child and wife in cold blood. That's really creepy if you ask me. Dude killed his seven year old son and he has youtube tributes talking about RIP Benoit and we miss you?????? Thats cult status, homie. People need to get their moral compasses in check.

Started out good, but pales in comparison to the best decade ever for professional wrestling: the '90s

Damn, I remember that crazy bitch attacking him and the camera showing it for a lot longer than they should have. LOL at Creature of the Night. Paul Bearer was fucking hilarious. He's one of the funniest people ever to me.

C'mon now. He may have done a dance or two to reflect his common man character, but it was nothing like what we saw him do in the WWF. They made him out to be a retard. The whole gimmick was designed to humiliate him. They're pretty upfront about it.

They didnt bury him, in terms of placement on the roster --- they just made an ass and a joke out of him and his whole career. Yeah, he had good feuds and all, but they had him wearing polka dots, doing stupid ass dances, and they introduced him cleaning shit out of a toilet among other humiliating skits.

LOL. So giving Cornette the book is trying something new?? That cat still thinks its 1986. I do agree that they need fresh minds. I still dont get why they dont look to recruit writers and bookers. Start up some sort of contest online or something and have people submit booking ideas.

Yeah, he's just speaking his mind --- I really cant fault him for that. I can imagine there is a certain amount of frustration when you are not allowed to advance in a company for superficial reasons. I'm far from a WWE hater, but the bias they have towards "small guys" is ridiculous and accounts for a lot of whats wrong with the industry. Damn, he went in on some guys. The Evan Bourne stuff was "eh" but he ripped Hardy a new a-hole.

He really played himself --- the WWF made a fool out of him. That whole gimmick was designed specifically to laugh at him, nothing more. There wasnt an ounce of dignity in that gimmick. Remember the vignettes that they created to introduce him? some people are hoes when it comes to money.

Well, if Hogan was trying to sabotage him, he did a really poor job. bam bam was crazy over. His knees sabotaged his run in the WWF. He needed double knee surgery and it stopped all his momentum. Why do Hogan, Nash, and HBK have to be the reason for EVERYONE's career malfunction? It's a cliche at this point. He seemed to be his own worst enemy at time for one reason or another.

He was tremendously mediocre in the ring and his penchant for relying on cursing was exposed when he hit the big time in '95 and '99. He was so adept at feeling sorry for himself and blaming others for his failures, as well as coming from the Don King school of self promotion. He talked such a good game, people actually thought he was on a Malenko/Guerrero type level. Truth be told, he was instrumental in getting ECW off the ground and responsible for a lot of their initial success. But I think his importance to the company's development takes a back seat to guys like Sabu, RVD, Raven...ext.

To each his own. I think Joey definitely ranks with the greats, because they all had their good points and bad. He was an identifiable, signature talent that emerged at a critical point in the industry. I dont think we have seen a new announcer that has come along since that has been close. Yeah, to me he was a flashier, 90s version of Solie and Russel; but to me JR was the best. He married so many different eras and nobody could call a bigger match with more authority and communicate the emotion behind it.

I thought Heyman's plan was to have a "World vs. TV" feud, with RVD holding the TV Title...but RVD got injured before he got the chance. Yeah, the plan was for RVD to chase Awesome for the belt, on TNN television, but RVD broke his leg and Mike Awesome jumped.
