I thought that happened with Jeff Jarrett? You're telling me that happened TWICE with Hulk Hogan?

After that sometime Tommy Dreamer did one to RVD, recreating the original rubber neck spot.

DX has probably made WWE far more money this time than they did 10 years ago.
With more viewers then than now, how do you figure? Because there's a lot more merch now/easier access?

Have they ever explained the kayfabe reason why wrestlers get certain music? Like "Hogan felt this music explained him perfectly" or something much better written.

Did Tommy Dreamer ever get a serious push on Raw or Smackdown? I was thinking about this, and I recall him having the hardcore title for a bit but that was it. I think he was even used as just a guy in the background in the Alliance.
I dunno if this was a push, but he was very visible for a few weeks/months on RAW as "guy who does gross things."

In a way, I'd put it in the same category as the "steal the opponent's finisher" spot - it's not a spot that's used very much, but it gets a real "OHHHH no he didn't!" reaction any time it happens.
By the way, this doesn't happen nearly enough anymore. Well, it shouldn't, but it's still a super cool spot.

Steiner once told a story about Vince asking him to take a steroid test, Steiner said "Sure, if you and Hunter come with me." There was never another mention of Steiner taking a steroid test, but, alas he didn't last long within the WWE.

I can't tell the difference between a good move and a bad move. I don't understand wrestling. So can someone explain what is a good powerbomb and a bad powerbomb?

No Irish Need Imply
Nov 30, 2008
I know when something's botched. I guess what I mean, specifically, is people cite Vader and early-Nash as good powerbombs and Batista and late-Nash as bad powerbombs. I don't see the difference. :gonk:
