WrestleMania 10 was definitely awesome, but my favorite was WrestleMania 9, at Caesar's Palace. We saw the debut of good ol' J.R. Jim Ross, who is the greatest play-by-play commentator in the history of professional wrestling, bar-none. We saw The Undertaker face impossible odds when he went face-to-chest with Giant Gonzales (he ended up winning by DQ when Gonzales knocked him out with a cloth soaked in ether). The then still undefeated Tatanka took on Shawn Michaels for the Intercontinental Championship, and won, but by DQ, so no title change. There were a few more, but the best match of the night was Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. For a man of his size, Yokozuna was fast and agile. Bret Hart gave him everything he had, but it was not to be. Mr. Fuji threw salt in his eyes, Yokozuna hit the sumo drop, and won the WWF title for the first time. Hulk Hogan came out to check on his friend, when Fuji issued a challenge to Hogan, right there and then. Bret said "Go for it!" Yokozuna grabbed Hogan, Fuji threw the salt, but Hogan ducked and it hit Yokozuna. He hit the big boot, dropped the leg, and became the WWF Champion for what was his last relevant title reign.

I use to love wrestling, but that has changed. The new ECW storyline is a bit entertaining, but WWE keeps using the same crappy "Triple H loses the belt, cheats, wins it back and loses it again." No shit he has become a 10x champion. :rolleyes:

Anyways, I'll talk about the good ole days.


Some of my favorite matches ever were:

Wrestlemania V: "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Hulk Hogan for the WWF Heavyweight Title

Wrestlemania XII: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper vs. Gold(gay)dust in a "Hollywood Back Lot Brawl"

Those are just a few... Too many to list

How about you guys?

Wrestlemania 3 I want to say, when it was the tournament for the belt.

Macho Man vs Million Dollar Man

Ms Elizabeth is leaving her man in the ring....where's she going?

wait 3 minutes

IT'S THE HULKSTER! Crowd goes NUTZ.

Great Match

Shawn Michaels vs Bret Hart - Iron Man Match; WrestleMania XII
Shawn Michaels vs Razor Ramon - Ladder Match; WrestleMania X
Shawn Michaels vs British Bulldog - King of the Ring '96
Bret Hart vs Mr. Perfect - King of the Ring (Semi Final) '93
Ultimate Warrior vs Macho Man Randy Savage - WrestleMania VII (?)
Ultimate Warrior vs Macho Man Randy Savage - SummerSlam '92
Ultimate Warrior vs Rick Rude - SummerSlam '89

All fantastic matches.

HULK HOGAN IS ON RAW RIGHT NOW!!!

Ugh. Do these guys ever retire? Oh wait. This is wrestling, not "real" sports.

I'll have to watch Smackdown! Thursday night to see what's new and exciting. I'll probably last about 10 minutes before dying of soap opera melodrama boredom. :p

Smackdown has been getting worse but rumors going around are that Trish is going to smackdown. can NEVER get tired of that

Random Thoughts on RAW....

*Oh yes, "Carlito" on RAW...yeech! Besides the fact that hes a lame wrestler on all fronts, especially in showmanship/mic/"persona" skills. Looks like he'll replace Jericho's usual "Highlight Reel"(then again, I always thought such "Show Within a Show" concepts were silly but whatever), sad since Jericho is always entertaining whenever given the mic, heel or hero.

*Besides that other lame "draft pick", there was The Big Show. Wow....I always hated him. His gimmick is that hes very tall and blah blah blah. Really, hes Kevin Nash but without the white trash look. Like Nash, he can't wrestle to save his life and speaking of which, why is he fighting on SMACKDOWN later this week? Oddly, the only time he was interesting to watch was when Nash supposedly "broke" his neck.

*I was going to complain about the silly ultra-soft porn fluff that is the whole DIVA sillyness until I realized: (1) I actually give it credit by acknowledging it, and (2) no one cares.

*Despite last night's PPV that obviously I didn't watch, I would actually like to see Cena and Jericho in a singles match sometime. I mean you have a white guy trying to be a balls-to-the-walls "gangsta" like Tony Montana or whatever and then you have maybe an equally arrogant character in Jericho that just super-over confident.

*Is it me, or does anyone else remember when Tag Team matches actually were a respected part of wrestler besides being used for weekly main events or whenever...you know, when there was a belt? Umm?

*Speaking of which, where is WWE going with this "Master Lock Challenge" stuff? From what I see, the man is a generic bland big-steroid-muscle freak like so many others in the business.

F me! I don't watch Raw last week or yesterday and I missed Hogan! Is he gonna be there again next week!???

WWE.com is reporting that Carlito will have a very special guest on the Cabana next week on RAW, and that guest happens to be the immortal Hulk Hogan.

Wow.....which means a crappy wrestler with a crappy gimmick with a crappy "Show w/in Show" gets an entertaining legend.

Speaking of which, WHEN is Rob Van Damm coming back? Hes still to me the best wrestler in the WWE to have NOT won the top strap in the company.

It'll probably be another month or two before RVD returns. However, I think its close because no one who's just had knee surgery is gonna let someone abuse it the way RVD did this past Monday. I'd say give it a month or two.

Speaking of RVD, ECW's "One Night Stand" was released yesterday for DVD. I was gonna buy it, but my stupid ass Wal-Mart didn't have it in. The only thing I'm iffy on is WWE is editing out all the cursing. They're leaving in ALL the blood shed, ALL the bodies going through burning tables, ALL the extreme stuff, but they feel the cursing should be removed?

My favorite match was The Undertaker vs Mankind at Summer Slam.

My favorite wrestler was Macho Man Randy Savage.

My favorite manager was Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

My favorite announcer was Gorrilla Monsoon.

My favorite girl was Sable.

My favorite tag team was The Legion of Doom.

And Papa Shango used to scare the hell out of me.

Alright I just saw Hulk Hogan again!

Holy sh*t! Matt Hardy just showed up on RAW! This has probably been the best RAW I've seen in quite a few years! What with "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Matt Hardy's invasion, Shawn Michaels being a guest on Piper's Pit. WWE is finally getting it right again.

I watched the beginning to see Shawn but saw Carlito (man that guy is annoying). I turned it off because I figure Shawn wouldn't be out until the end of the first hour or the show and it looks like I was right. He's on now

I went to a live WWE SmackDown! event in Ocean City last night, and had a blast. The RAW event I went to last year was much better (there were much bigger names last year, i.e. HHH, Kurt Angle, Kane, Benoit, Jericho, Edge, Orton). The match of the night, by far last night, was Eddie Guerrero vs. Rey Mysterio. They put on a wrestling clinic. The main event was also pretty kick ass. It was J.B.L. vs. Batista for the World Heavyweight title. The biggest pop of the night was Batista. The crowd was alive the whole match, and he got a lot of "Batista" chants. Muhammad Hassan got the most heat. He was booed so bad, he couldn't even talk. Chimel, the ring announcer, unplugged Davari's mic while he was ranting in Arabic, which got a huge pop. All in all, it was awesome, but my throat is hurting from all the screaming. Can't wait for next year!

Man that was so cool to see Rowdy Rowdy Piper on Raw last week! What's on tap for tonight xxx? I probably won't watch it unless Hulk Hogan is on. And where's Trish Startus been!? And what's with the lack of air-time for the Internet Babe of the Year Stacy Keibler!?

BTW, who do you think is hotter from these women? Kinda like a Diva tournament:

1) Miss Elizabeth or Stephanie McMahon
2) Sable or Torrie Wilson
3) Trish Stratus or Stacy Keibler
4) Victoria or Sunny
5) Lita or Molly Holly
6) Ryan Shamrock or Dawn Marie

1) Stephanie
2) young Sable
3) Trish
4) Sunny
5) ummm
6) Dawn Marie

I'd probably have to go with

1) Liz
2) Torrie
3) Trish
4) Sunny
5) Lita
6) Ryan

Sorry but I just love this pic

who wouldn't? although that picture does not make her ass look as great as it really is.

Got any that do?

I'm at work too. I post some later if I can find some nice ones of Steph, Liz, Stacie, etc.

Stephanie from the neck down is pretty damn hot if you ask me, Trish is just all over beautiful. The rest of them are not that good looking to me. Ms. Elizabeth in her day, for her time was pretty hot but I think Stephanie's body beats hers (and JG beats his to all of them lol)

I always had a thing for Stephanie ever since I saw her but moreso when she "married" HHH storyline wise and they had the "Helmsley-McMahon Era" (or how I miss that) As for Miss Elizabeth, I always liked her the best when she was with the nWo. She had everything, smoking face & a smoking body (even for her age). I think Stephanie's breast enhancement was a bit too much for me as they looked too big for her body IMO

Hogan will be on RAW tonight, presumably to accept Shawn Michaels' challenge for Summerslam. Also, Kane and Edge will square off in a rematch from last week, only this time it'll be in a steel cage!

The lovely Stacy Keibler
