Always assumed it's because they wanted the leaders of nWo Hollywood, the Wolfpac, the Flock, and then you had Goldberg who was the most over WCW guy.

Only real negative I have about Revenge is finishers not being as devastating in terms of damage and being easier to kick out compared to AKI's later WWF games.
More of an issue for short matches or trying to speed run through Championship mode. |

Lol yeah when Ahmed was Moadib he did insane shit like that.
He really doesn't get talked about in terms of wasted talent. He was mega over when he first debuted in the WWF, but bad luck with injuries and laziness got in the way. |

He looked great until he did anything.
If Ron Simmons had been that vascular he would have been pushed forever in WWE. |

How is Charlotte Flair doing as NXT Women's Champion? Subconsciously I can't help but compare such reigns to Cena's United States title reign.

Remember when they referred to the women's champion as the NXT Champion for a short period of time?

Could see NXT beat AEW this week via NXT having a big show and Tony Khan booking the laziest sounding card in ages...
Cody vs Janela Mox vs Spears |

Per Tony Khan, all wrestlers and staff present at tonight's tapings including himself were tested for coronavirus prior to entering the building and everybody tested negative.
So while it's nice that there won't be any potentially sick workers performing...that opens up the next criticism which is that they were able to rapidly test that many people in a short period of time despite a national test shortage. |

Like the Dream vs. Balor feud pretty much got quickly canned in order to rush back to the Dream vs. Cole feud because NXT needs more than 1 Takeover-quality match on a show to sway the needle these days. Last edited by Emperor Smeat; 05-06-2020 at 06:14 PM. |

While Charlotte is a top tier performer, she's always booked and treated like such a spoiled brat (which makes her unlikeable to an extent). If the dirtsheets were to be believed, she won this year's rumble match because she was promised a win at last year's event. That comes across as cringeworthy considering she did end up in the main event of last year's WrestleMania. All of these decisions do take some luster off of her accomplishments. |

Apparently Maryland's State Athletic Commission recently fined AEW $10k for the Unsanctioned match between Moxley and Omega at Full Gear.
The former WCW announcer guy who snitched on them has been gloating about it despite everyone else mocking him about it. Somehow he thinks AEW getting fined is a bigger black eye to wrestling than all the shit WWE has pulled recently.
Meanwhile despite being named in a class-action lawsuit regarding allegations of top WWE executives committing acts for their own personal financial benefit and not for the company's best interests, Triple H decided to sell off over $1 million worth of his WWE stocks recently.

They gotta track down Pedro Morales's WWWF title belt that he pawned while champion so he could bet on the horses. Claimed it was "stolen". Wrestling historian Tom Burke bought it for $1500 from the Pawn Shop and later fold it for waaaaaaaaay more than that

Should have kept Ryder and Hawkins for this new show since they were already doing the same but for wrestling figurines.

Besides Florida, seems Connecticut also recently gave WWE "essential business" status which is why they were able to tape wrestling stuff at their headquarters for Money in the Bank.

This year's SummerSlam might not be taking place in Boston due to the city's mayor not lifting the ban on large public events till early September.

I was watching something else Corny related, and this was recommended. Watched it and circled back to the video where it was referenced. Dude was drunk as shit, that's the only reason why he got launched. Likely the only reason why he put himself in position to get launched.
