Was a fun match too. Sabu had some of his last great moments 2005 - 2006.

Dark Side of the Ring
I love the DSOTR series as a whole but this season peaked with its first episode thus far. The garbage match one was just a turn off, I just don't like seeing that sort of thing. The Warrior episode was what it was. The Korea episode was somewhat of a non episode. Due to the subject matter I dare say the Jake Roberts episode will be something I'm not keen on viewing.

All Elite Wrestling
Not feeling the love other people are for these two hype videos (more power to the ones loving them). They feel generic to me; the sort of thing TNA was cranking out when Bobby Roode was sitting by ponds etc. I was expecting something earth shattering after seeing much hype from notable people.

WWE Super Show-Down
If Michales were to return for a random match is Saudi, I think it's worth asking the question: will they throw enough money to get Wrestlemania one year?

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
I'm interested to see what the Network show will be about, and what the relationship with the WWE will mean for the content output of the original show.

Have been wanting to check it out, how would you desribe the interviews and their quality? After Bloodstained Memoirs disappointed me I'm always reluctant to drop $$ on these things. Physical quality wise? Literal worlds apart from the likes of Kayfabe Commentaries, Highspots etc. Pretty sure I did a review of the content itself at the time, the Dynamite Kid interview was excellent. Haven't seen the new Piper footage.

Dave Meltzer stuff
All this talk of Rotten Tomatoes. Technically wouldn't he be closer to Harry Knowles?

Bobby Heenan RIP
Warrior didn't like him and said he was a trouble maker. I know someone's gonna say "but it's the Ultimate Warrior", but I think the Warrior is a lot smarter than what people give him credit for. He got in, got big, stood up to Vince, got out of wrestling and got Vince to praise him in the end. Not to derail this thread: but if Warrior was the great business man people make him out to be, he wouldn't have let millions sit on the table. Great post by Johnny Sorrow on page 3 on meeting Bobby, I love hearing first hand encounters like this when the photo is also shown.

Bobby Heenan RIP
Nice story Matt D, and you shouldn't feel foolish for being a nice person!

Bobby Heenan RIP
They don't cut them from the same mold as Bobby anymore. RIP Brain.

Any contenders for WWF Greatest Match Ever between WrestleMania 3 and WrestleMania 10?
Bret vs Bulldog in SS 1992 for me. Slightly tainted by what I have learnt about Davey going into the match / blown spots etc, but even seeing a still photo of that match makes me feel warm.

The awesomeness of Scott Norton
I used to wonder what Norton in early-mid 90's WWF would have looked like. I imagine fun matches with Shawn, Bret, Razor and the likes.

Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?
I think post 2010 is when things really fell of a cliff. I stopped watching during the never ending Aces and Eights nonsense. Up until that point, I'd always tune in weekly, even if it were just for background fodder.

Shoots Review and Preview thread
There is still value in a video product for me. There's something about being able to sit down with some snacks and being able to watch something that can't be touched in terms of entertainment.

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
Starting to enjoy What Happened When as much as this now. The absolute nonsense with the Barbarian impression had me rolling

Paige and all that
What was Paige up to before she went on this massive hiatus? Honestly drawing a blank.
