I also don't remember ECW spraying lemon juice on open wounds. Or pouring bleach down anyone's throat.

They did shove Justin Credible down our throats, which is debatably worse

I dunno, Legacy was pretty well put over by the third match. They thought intelligently, used a strategy that worked before, and then just (in their youth) beat the hell out of Michaels until they theirselves were worn out. They took their time, were cocky, and an entirely fresh Triple H took them out due to this.

They came out of that feud fairly even with DX.

Former guys who worked for the company during the period say most of the stuff in the book is right. One guy with a mullet says it's all bullshit.

Seems rational to take the skeptical side.

honestly i wonder if jericho was even supposed to get the title then. if you noticed, the set for Vengeance was extreeeeeeeeeeemely sledgehammer themed, and hhh was originally thought to be returning a little big after survivor series

I just brought it up on Youtube, and the Vengeance logo video loop is literally a sledgehammer pounding stamps into a bar of iron

if tito were 10 years younger and debuted 5 years later, he would have become a much bigger star.

Had he debuted 5 years later, he probably would have been stuck with a Santo gimmick.

Going back to HBK at WM, for me it is a tie between 25 and 19. 25 for obvious reasons, and I thought the feud and especially the prematch promo video at 19 was one of the best ever, competing with 2008's.... Jericho vs Michaels?!?! It is like the two feuds are connected somehow...

Screw that, WM21's promo was the best build promo.

And people are talking to me about some guy named Shawn Michaels gliding down from the rafters and putting on a wrestling clinic that year..."

Who is the Dirt Bike Kid? I heard his name being used in a list with people like Mass Transit and Mike Levy as examples of the business getting too real. Unsurprisingly, wikipedia has failed me.

Jason Harrison. He worked a bit with ECW back in the '90s.

I love the (I'm assuming the one for TROUBLE) music video that got overdubbed. Not for Bischoff's theme, but for this screencap.

HBK then cuts a promo about how FMW will be the #1 promotion in years to come because of the talent and sportsmanship. They were out of business a few years later and the head booker hung himself.

I had been thinking the Lightning Kid beating Razor Ramon would probably be the biggest one, but that Hart title win came out of nowhere and you're right about his position at the time. Hart beating Flair in 1992 is like if The Miz or John Morrison beat Cena at a house show today.

I agree that both Russo and Arquette are undeserving champions, but at that point in WCW, that type of stuff was almost projected.

More like if Ted DiBiase beat Triple H

Abe, Byron Saxton, Tony Atlas, Tyler Reks and Vance Archer are the only ones left.

Tyler Reks and Vance Archer will wrestle pointless, heatless matches for all eternity while Abe and Byron commentate and Tony Atlas laughs in the background.

He sent an e-mail to a friend of 30 years, so it was hardly "threatening somebody's life directly". Yeah he sent it to him at his TNA e-mail address, which was dumb, but he hardly broke into Russo's house and boiled his bunny before tucking his junk between his legs, putting on lipstick and whispering,"I'd book me, I'd book me."

Of course he didn't, he's not Colt Cabana.

is that too obscure now? probably not
