Interesting Dave Meltzer quote
When it comes to Hansen teammates, I got DiBiase below Brody, Gordy, & Tenryu but above Spivey. You want to talk about a forgotten team it's Hansen & Tenryu because of their successes with other partners.

Best Angles That Didn't Pan Out
Kerry was in WWF and Kevin was running opposition to USWA in Dallas so there was no way in hell of that happening.

Ridiculous quotes from WO.com columnists
They are going to book Shields vs. GSP anyway as soon as he signs.

Dana White isn't even a Butch Lewis when it comes to promoting.

I can't remember if that is true but it wouldn't surprise me.

Best Angles That Didn't Pan Out
They only had 3 matches on the tour in Memphis, Charlotte, & Richmond so it was unspectacular. Now Corny & Baby Doll worked all over the Bash in different pairings.

Best Angles That Didn't Pan Out
James Gang/America's Team vs. Midnight Express had some great angles with Corny getting kidnapped and the introduction of the James Gang gimmick but the angle pretty much died around the summer of 1986 with no real blowoff all together. DiBiase/Tommy Rich in 1983-84 that featured the introduction of Mr. R that was blown off with Tommy making his last appearance on TBS at the podium while Brad Armstrong as Mr. R was in the ring beating DiBiase for the National title. Rich went to Memphis and DiBiase moved on to feud with Brad a little bit before Brad moved on to the Spoiler until the feud with Garvin started. Sting & Rick Rude in 1991 never had the proper blowoff or any PPV singles matches as they went from the Clash match to Battlebowl to Sting going to Luger winning the title and Rude moving on to Steamboat. Doom vs. Windham/Arn had those fucking awesome video packages with the Horsemen getting grimey in the hoods of the ATL but they never had the big matches as Doom hooked up with the Freebirds then broke up for no fucking reason other than to get Ron Simmons over as a singles wrestler. Just a few off the top of my head.

Interesting Dave Meltzer quote
Murdoch was more highly regarded in Japan than DiBiase as DiBiase was basically Hansen's tag partner for a couple of years with some Champion Carnival matches before that.

I'm pretty sure that Jake got Sam his job in WWF once the UWF was bought because there was no way in hell Dusty was going to bring him back.

Ridiculous quotes from WO.com columnists
Scott Coker would commit suicide if UFC ran a Mayhem/Shields fight that was built off an angle off his own show.

Ridiculous quotes from WO.com columnists
Mayhem Miller has already gone on record calling Jake a chickenshit and going to UFC instead of fighting him.

The one that confused me the most was the opening line on Aldo/Faber with the Bret Hart rhetoric. I think Dave was openly rooting for Faber to win for business. Speaking of business, how long before the hatred of Tito begins because this is a black eye for the MMA business hurting it's mainstream appeal.

Ridiculous quotes from WO.com columnists
The Bowflex Bryan and the F4W Bryan look totally different in every way.

I doubt Regal was considered a Horseman replacement but he did reform his team with Garvin quite a few times in JCP.

Ridiculous quotes from WO.com columnists
Okay, Bryan saying that Urijah Faber is a better worker than Kerry Von Erich is fuckin hilarious.

The interesting Dave Meltzer posts thread
I think the overwork plus raising his son is starting to take a toll on him.

Ridiculous quotes from WO.com columnists
The thing is about all those points that get made all the time, WWE doesn't give away big matches on free TV much at all anymore.

This means that 4-6 NXT guys will be on the main roster.

Meltz is reporting that Mickie had some issues in Europe making the bus late a few times because she wasn't on time which was the straw that broke the camel's back. Meltz also said that Haas & Benjamin will probably reunite in TNA.

Well let's look at it, Shelton has been average at best for the last couple of years, Funaki, Yang, & Gordy were all curtain jerkers when they were used, Mickie is a country singer, & Katie had no role after Paul got cut. I'm not surprised with these.
