Punk’s entrance into that MITB match is white hot. That’s a good memory. So is Mania XXX, one of the better top-to-bottom cards WWE has had in the last decade. We still need New Japan to give us some great one-off Wrestle Kingdom entrances like Shinsuke Nakamura thought up — the fire-and-strippers year, followed by the “deck of cards” and King of Strong Style entrance: https://youtu.be/rLu6g3645XM

The top two promotions in Mexico are now officially owned by women. Is this the first time this has ever happened? The top two promotions in a country are owned by women?

Thanks for all the suggestions on what to watch, I'll definitely be looking into those. I'm also looking thru old matches and promos so I should be busy for a while.

Probably, short of some crazy stock deal that got Linda in charge while Dixie was running TNA The only wild card would be Japan, since Motoko Baba was running All Japan, but I can't chart the exact status of the 90s splinter promotions and joshi promotions

I think a Victory Road 2011 situation is inevitable for anyone who puts Jeff Hardy in a marquee position. Beyond concerns with his mic work or how one-dimensional he is as a worker, that dude loves drugs WAAAAAY too much.

NutShellBill posted:Short answer: In the "You'll like who we tell you to like" sense, yes. He has ardent followers, and had serious momentum a couple of times... but it didn't work out for reasons. Jeff Hardy as "The Guy" would get old fast, but I think you could have done it. I can agree with pretty much all of this but I dunno about the Dudleyz being better than the Hardys. Admittedly I never saw their ECW work and also it's been 20 years and also I was always a Hardys mark but the central conflict and allure back then was the super over Hardys vs. the dastardly and goofy Edge and Christian. Without the Hardys I don't think the tag team division would have soared to the heights that it did.

The pop when he unmasked was unreal. NOBODY in the building was expecting it to be DDP which caused the odd reaction of the heel wife stalker getting a massive babyface reaction.

For me its either the Austin stuns everyone/Jesus pop or Heymans shoot promo on Vince, with the infamoua "YOU STOLE FROM ME" bit - Hogan and Warrior clearing the ring at Royal Rumble 1990, with everyone suddenly realizing that they're the only two left and have to fight. - CM Punk dressed as Jeff Hardy. - Seth Rollins turning on the Shield, complete with that one guy in the crowd screaming, "NOOO!!" right before the chair hits. - Bryce Remsburg taking a bullet for Ashley Remington. - John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (Kenny Omega) vs. John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt (Bryan Danielson).

The only one that springs to mind is the Doomsday Device but that was just the Road Warriors in general being protected; almost every team has some semblance of a Doomsday variation in their moveset & Dickinson/Jaka's Death Trap is the only one I'm aware of that's used as a finish. tbh most tag team finishers are pretty easy to protect, since you have a bunch of options why the pin gets broken up that don't involve a kickout (partner breaks it up, guy being pinned isn't the legal man, guy doing the pinning isn't the legal man, there's another wrestler in the ring and the referee is distracted....)

Foley transforming from Mankind to Cactus and subsequently beating HHHs rear end. DDPs reveal as the stalker because the crowd reaction is ace. Just a collective booowhaaaaaOOOOOOOOHHHHHH The crowd realizing Moxley has arrived at Double or Nothing And for an obscure entry, Akeem erasing Shawn Micahels from existence with a lariat at WM5 and Ventura's deadpan "I think he irritated Akeem" makes me laugh every time.

This is an odd one, but Jim Cornette's promo after his Midnight Express was attacked by Heyman's version is awesome. He gets a very genuine TV studio pop for finally telling his mother that it's about time he started fighting his own battles and it rules. Kevin von Erich getting an insane pop from a live Raw crowd and JR for putting the Claw on Rob Conway, of all people, is another go-to for me.
