You answered your own question. It didn't last too long because the NWO took all the heat for themselves soon after this period. -
Back to Hogan, but where would his antics during the Dibiase/Savage match from WM IV rank?

Jericho putting her in his finisher pissed me off way more. Granted I was younger at the time, and way more sensitive to man-on-woman violence. I still am to some degree. When I saw the Austin thing I kinda rolled my eyes at it, but didn't get too pissy about it. Mostly because it looks so easy to take, whereas a boston crab would involve some degree of pain, unless she's really flexible...I should probably stop talking before this gets too NSFW.

It makes the most sense to me, looking back. Shawn was a decent heel on the mic right off the bat, so a manager wouldn't have seemed necessary. Shawn said she was pretty helpful and would often do a real number on job guys who wouldn't sell for him lol. Pairing him with a hulking bodyguard, like they did a year later, was perfect for the character however. It served two purposes, to strengthen his heel persona and put someone as green as Kevin was at the time with someone who was already as in tune with the craft of it as he was.

This is totally subjective, but for me it's Montreal. Plain and simple. Nothing to do with Shawn or Bret, but just what Vince did. I've heard all the theories, arguments, half-truths and conjecture but to me it boils down to one thing. He pulled the curtain back for good. He tore it from the ceiling and set the fucker on fire.

Probably. The best thing about Cody is that he doesn't have to live in his father's shadow as much as Dustin did, and that hopefully he can learn from both their mistakes. Back to Flair, whatever he's gone through doesn't compare to some other people but it's still a shame to see he can't separate himself from the persona that made him and his family rather well-off.

As someone who occasionally finds humor in the misfortune of others, I find no problem in this.

Exactly, and it didn't help that it directly followed an awesome Orton/Christian match.

The only time I ever noticed the belt and thought it odd in the circumstances you speak of was during the Benoit DVD when he took it with him to the Hart household and other places.

I swear I saw Pat Robertson's network do the serious version of that article around a decade ago.

Does anyone listen to Schiovane as a baseball announcer now, and if so does he manage to use any "Tony-ism's" as related to the game?

It makes sense to me. I do feel a little dumber after watching his promos. This post should not be slept on. Nice work. I laughed. I'll second that. Thanks. And I don't care if it's a body-building term, "skinny fat ass" is still stupid.

I never got Sting/Luger vs. Steiners winning in '91, over Hart/Perfect from that year's SummerSlam. It's a good match, but way too short. If it went 25-30 minutes, one could make the case for it, but I still don't quite get it.

Someone else had "Superstars Of Wrestling" trademarked.

It was my first one, too. I think it's really sad Flair/Hogan didn't come to pass at this show, but the Savage feud had better heat than what they tried to accomplish with Hulk. Their mistake was having them face off at arena shows right off the bat and not building up the Royal Rumble as some kind of showdown between the two for the vacant title, to have Flair win as he did. It's a hot match, but I don't think it lived up to expectation. Part of this is, in my opinion, because of the angle. All the outside stuff is a distraction to what could have been a great one-on-one contest. WCW repeated this Ad Nauseum a few years later, first with Lanny, and then again with Liz. That said, the angle in the Fall of '96 with Liz being held by the NWO was a more involving and interesting angle.

I was about to make that point, actually. He hasn't done a regular road schedule for awhile so he practically is already. But the purpose of the thread is to speculate if he's entirely done by now.

It ensures that coveted demographic of old, scary middle-aged white male stalkers.
