Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
I think Arnold was the best possible choice. It adds real prestige to Bruno's induction and makes it the big deal it should be. Plus I think it leaves little doubt now that Bruno's induction will close the night.

Bruno is being inducted by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Would have preferred Larry but Arnold makes sense especially after seeing the video of the both of them at both their inductions to the International Sport Hall of Fame.

Russo would have called this appearance a success for WWE.

Wrestling in unusual contexts
. I've been re-watching the show from the beginning so that piqued my interest to say the least. It's an awful song, but it works with what the trailer has been getting across.

Randy/Rey would have been an awesome match.

New Truly Independent ECW Documentary
I'm interested in the final product, but I hope the people who put together the DVD will be very liberal with outtakes and such.

Sounds like a distribution thing to me.

Probably Vince still pissed off about how he left before.

I loved those almanacs too. Bravo John for your work on the timelines, those were especially entertaining to read.

Does wrestling TV need writers?
I should mention I know there's no way in hell WWE would do what I suggested, just that I'd like to see someone else try that approach.

Does wrestling TV need writers?
I'd like to see a promotion where the creative head is someone who worked on episodic television, but has a deep knowledge and appreciation of pro wrestling. Something like an equivalent of the great cable series' we've been since the days of The Sopranos and The Shield, to WWE's stock network show. In an era of entertainment where comic book movies are getting serious critical praise on top of serious box office, there's no real reason (other than Vince's ignorance) professional wrestling could follow suit and give the world great television on top of great wrestling.

Bret Hart vs. Ric Flair
Shane Douglas got it right by saying he's an asshole, but in no way denying his ability and influence as a worker.

I wonder what will be different about these releases compared to the previous set of DVD's. I was really hoping they'd do a Blu-ray box set.

Chris, Nancy, & Daniel Benoit found dead
That's being optimistic that there would even be a WWE 15-20 years from that point. Are you thinking that advertisers would have dumped WWE en masse? Possibly. And if Benoit had shown up to the PPV that night as just speculated, and it would have been revealed later on that he went on to perform after murdering his family? Most certainly.

Chris, Nancy, & Daniel Benoit found dead
I wonder what would happen if Chris didn't kill himself, and turned himself in, or worse, evading capture and becoming a fugitive. I'd imagine WWE would have found themselves in a more dire PR nightmare than what ultimately happened. I can imagine the response from the IWC would be equally as disgusting, if not more so. I watched something about the day of the OJ Bronco chase, featuring the news coverage of it as it happened. People at that time were equally in denial about that as some of the examples cited already.

How did the whole carbon monoxide angle to this come up?
