What wrestlers who aren't in the Hall of Fame already should be, and who would you pick to induct them? I think Ted DiBiase is the biggest one right now. And his son, of course, should induct.

It doesn't happen in WWE much because who the hell has sub finishers anymore? Not guys in dedicated tag teams.

Here's a weird question: Has there ever been someone in a dedicated tag team (not a superteam ie Jericho, Cena/HBK) that went out on their own and found singles success while keeping the team together. It took HBK breaking up the Rockers for him to branch out and the Hart Foundation was dead by the time Bret was doing his singles run. I'm talking about something along the lines of what would amount to Demolition Smash winning the IC title but still being in Demolition.

Shawn stiffed Vader at some point during his match with him because he was supposed to roll out of the way of an elbow drop but didn't. So Shawn landed on his feet and just kicked him in the head. I know Foley liked that spot or the look of that spot a lot so he worked it into his match with Shawn. Most of what you're talking about in that match was probably "worked shoot" style.

Spikeguy posted:I just rewatched Wrestlemania 20. Why did the Lesner Goldberg match suck so bad? Lesner has had good matches. Did the crowd just gently caress with his head? The match was 40 percent rest holds, 40 percent staring and 20 percent actual wrestling. Because if that was the planned match it was going to suck anyway. Has anyone spoken about that match in an interview? Because everyone knew they were both leaving and the crowd took a dump on it so they trolled the crowd a bit.

Good Listener posted:So a question popped up today between my brother and I, and I figured I would ask the board. Being not up on my puroresu, I have to ask what the current situation is involving crazy match types. Back in the day I remember exploding barb wire fire etc type matches but are those still prevalent? Or are they more at home in the Japanese equivalent of CZW type promotions? BJW is all about the light tubes.

I thought his face run when he won the title was his best character, tied with ONN/Legend Killer Orton. He was the most exciting in the ring and seemed to be having the most fun.

jeffersonlives posted:Orton's run right before he turned face with the Foley and Benoit feuds was phenomenal. His entire face run in that period was the Triple H feud which was the shits IMO. I don't blame that on Orton's character, I blame that on Trips booking that feud into poo poo city.

jeffersonlives posted:Orton wins almost every match in dominant fashion and is positioned as the superior guy even in the very rare matches he loses. He is presented as the second biggest star in the company in every angle. Frankly, considering Orton's push level and how much momentum he had about a year ago, he should really be a lot bigger than he is, but that's another discussion. Everything should've been coming up millhouse for the three guys in Legacy but ffffffff

Lucha tags make sense in a "I am thinking about wrestling as a real sport outside of the world and rules of pro wrestling." So realistically, they're stupid.

I was just disappointed Eddie didn't get a longer reign but I understand why it happened the way it did - he probably would have if TV didn't happen.triplexpac posted:Yeah, that seems right. I totally buy Eddie as a main eventer in ROH since he won the title, even though he only had it for a short time. Compare that to, say, Jack Swagger in the WWE, where he's clearly not anywhere near the top even though he's a former world champion. It seems like WWE lately almost doesn't want you to buy heels who win via Money in the Bank cash in as legit champs. See also: Miz.
