I still can't believe they took that kid's money to train him. I'll take my comedy in the form of Dalton Castle and his boys.

Lethal giving Castle's entrance the WTF? stare was fantastic.

I am watching a Nitro from 1996, and Pat Tanaka coming out to Goldberg's music amuses me way too much.

It's the same as that reddit post alleging that Roman Reigns flunked a drug test. People ran with it because they wanted to believe there was a way for Bryan to get into this year's main event, even though the source wasn't even remotely close to credible.

Re: Horsemen signs being confiscated at a WWF event: The Horsemen were never part of WWF. I can completely understand why they might take those away. If Lana's not part of WrestleMania, they really should have come up with a reason to write her out of the show. Unless the argument she and Rusev had in the trainer's room last week was how they wrote her out, and none of us understood what they were saying.

This thread is awesome. Thanks for doing this.

Damn. This is totally unexpected. Talked to Jim online for over a decade now, starting way back in the day during the WrestlingClassics AOL chats. Really nice guy, he will be missed.

Shawn said he wouldn't put over Bret if Vince asked him to. That's why Bret wouldn't drop the belt to Shawn.

Should size of company matter for a "world" title designation? ROH has been around for awhile, but what's the biggest house they have ever drawn? The USWA used to claim the Unified Title was a world title, but nobody really considers that to be on the level with the rest of the titles being mentioned so far. Catch Wrestling Association (the one Otto Wanz owned), CMLL and AAA might deserve world title status as well.

She's a lifelong wrestling fan, but she's a lifelong sports fan too. If she thinks ESPN is a better job, she should take it.

Joey Styles and Cyrus were allegedly going to be the announce crew for the WCW relaunch if Bischoff had bought the company. So Cyrus sorta got screwed twice, first by ECW closing and WCW's sale, since he had already been fired by the WWF.

I enjoyed Levy's announcing a lot as both Johnny Polo in WWF and Scotty the Body in Portland.

Lance Storm's rat tail was fantastic that day. 14-year old me and my friends heckled him mercilessly all day long.

I thought Savoldi had the rights to the USWA Texas and Global footage. The clip rovert linked is from Memphis, but aired on the USWA Challenge syndicated show.

The Fargodome Nitro I went to (covered earlier in this thread, it was the episode the Armstrongs beat Raven, and Flair was in the nuthouse) had a big crowd, not sure how much of it was papered though.

This thread is awesome. Almost as awesome as the hair Christopher Daniels is sporting in the clip above. Thanks to everyone who is contributing to this.

I was at this trainwreck of a Nitro from Fargo, North Dakota. They had a bus full of beer-fueled Canadians, and no Monday Night Jericho shirts to be found. The Hollyood Hogan bandanas we ended up buying were much less fun. 3 high points of the show: Seeing the Armstrong brothers win a match, getting the small child sitting behind us to boo Goldberg, and the guy who paased out on the bus and missed the show (his friend gave us the rest of his beer after he passed out, since he clearly did not need it).

Layla has been showing jealously towards Kaitlyn lately because she has the belt. Layla stole a pin during a tag match on Smackdown last week. I don't think there should be a diva match on this card, the division is awful.

http://www.tmz.com/2013/02/20/wwe-star-jac...fic-violations/ Swagger got busted for DUI, speeding and possession of marijuana last night. Looks like a title match spot may have just opened for Wrestlemania.

Edge is Canadian, some folks would consider putting him in their 10. Could add Lance Storm, The Missing Link, Bobby Rude and Vampiro to this as well, athough I don't think anyone would put them in their top 10.
