WM X7 match was a fun smoke and mirror show. Their KotR '02 match was loving god awful.

That match where Hart assaults McMahon with a chair until the heat death of the universe was a WrestleMania match? :negative:

Per his podcast, Steve Austin doesn’t like War Games ‘92. Worst news all week.

Wasn't he in that match?

You can split Bikertaker into two: his face debut run which was hot garbage, and his heel run where he was entertaining at least.

His heel turn on JR was amazing.

It seems weird but also fitting that Taker arguably has the best and the worst Mania matches of all time

Undertaker wasn't in Austin/Hart I Quit, which is the best Mania match. :colbert:

Also, Limp Bizkit was involved in the greatest Mania hype video ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srhd2fZyDB4

If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
The best thing Bikertaker ever did was eat a big handful of popcorn in between beating the poo poo out of Maven.

I stopped watching WWF when I joined the Military in November of 2000, then I picked up again around the Matt Hardy / Edge / Lita time. I feel like I missed so much (Lesnars first run, Bikertaker, Smackdown 6, Kurt Angle in his Prime, Invasion, etc) but at the same time I don't regret not watching it.

I know AJ has been wrestling forever but it does seem kinda early to be putting him into the Hall of Fame when it's likely he still has several years of absolutely top-level performances in him.

He does but it's much better to have wrestlers voted on as close to their prime as possible. Look at the arguments over Sgt. Slaughter. I don't think he should be in because his peak wasn't quite long enough, but at this point we're 35 years removed from it. It's so hard to judge him as most active wrestlers would know his WWF run more.

"Acts" seems pretty deliberate. He could just say inductees no?

So at least one tag team or non-wrestler is included, right?

I assume Dave Browne given Lance Russell.

I was thinking Jimmy Hart when I read the verbiage but Dave Brown makes more sense.

If he doesn't this year he's probably never getting in. I know Dave is kind of salty about him getting in, but I think he's more likely to not dwell on it too much after his last run.

Ex-TMZ journalist who now runs a Wrestling news site who does break big a lot of big news stories. But he's a bit of dweeb and someone would people would point to as a "whiny millennial" in terms of how he handles criticism/adversity. Him and other people involved in the website are California trust baby types. One of his podcast co-hosts is Jamie Lovine the son of Jimmy Lovine. The co-founder of Interscope Records and chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M. Also founded Beats Electronics with Dr. Dre.

Doesn't really come from an Observer or Torch reading background. So he loses out on that insight on how Wrestling and the Wrestling media works. At the same time, he is closer to younger WWE and indie talent than Meltzer is. Likewise the WWE Creative team.

On a different tangent, it looks like Steve Austin has recently done a rewatch/commentary on IYH: Canadian Stampede, which if nothing else has reminded me to rewatch that amazing main event and see the crowd just going absolutely apeshit for the Hart Foundation :hellyeah:

Hell yes. We've been getting dark side Meltzer interacting with twitter morons for a while now, we are getting close to the full heel turn thanks to him getting pissed at internet scoopsmen.

You scoopsmen wouldn't be anything without Meltzer. All the crap on twitter represents these fans out here. Time for the oWo

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I saw Ryan Satin at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
