Who has the trifecta as a HOF candidate?
I think he's the only one who could offhand. Maybe Inoki? Did Inoki do any training? I mean Kotetsu Yamamoto was the main trainer of the New Japan dojo for a long time and before that I think it was Karl Gotch.

Is Daniel Bryan Nearing The End Of The Road?
They ran in Zürich but had Cesaro on the show in Nuremburg, that happened at the same time, so what do you expect?

Ron Wright RIP
I did not realize he was still alive. How old was he? He looked like 70 back in 1992 SMW, however there is a 73 Knoxville clip from him where he seems to be 40 at most.

[1992-10-09-AAA-Sin Limite] Blue Panther vs Super Astro
I am in the corner of not being high on this (but I am also not a big lucha fan). Super Astro was way too sloppy in the first two falls, even blowing the setup to the finish of the first fall. The third fall was nearfall-tastic and fun, though a bit repetitive.

Exile on Badstreet #3 = The Rebirth of the Indies
Did I miss it or did you, when talking about Low Ki vs. American Dragon in 2001, skip talking about the ECWA match with Steamboat as guest referee (7/21)?

Early Hall of Fame 2016 Predictions
Rude might have a good shot in 2017 if Wrestlemania XXXIII really is in Minneapolis. Thinking about it Martel would have better chances in 2017 as well, as do some other Sharkey guys like Waltman. Someone who WWE probably will never even consider but who would be a great choice PR-wise is Sputnik Monroe.

Early Hall of Fame 2016 Predictions
As there is also a thread for Wrestlemania XXXII predictions why not a HoF prediction thread? "Main Event" I could see them introducing the nWo (just Hogan, Nash and Hall) now that all three guys are in individually as well. Undertaker is of course always an option if he decides to retire. "Celebrity Wing" The only two guys I could come up with are Mayweather and LT. Of course they might bring in someone who was a guest once at a Wrestlemania (like Pam) or guest GM. Other If they introduce another Japanese guy I would bet on Tenryu (have Terry Funk introduce him, as Tenryu trained in Amarillo), Masa Saito or maybe Tiger Mask. In the last three years they always had at least someone on the list who had a hugely negative relationship with WWE (Bruno, Warrior, Savage, Madusa and Zbyszko). There are not that many people left on that list. Owen Hart will not happen, I can safely assume, Ole Anderson does not make much sense. Who is left after that? Bischoff? Luger? I think Stan Hansen is a good bet for an "undercarder" of the ceremony. Some other guys I could see: Martel, Batista, Sting, Ivan Koloff, the Freebirds (the most likely World Class guys to go in), Bruiser Brody, maybe King Kong Bundy?

Current WWE
In the post Wrestlemania Europe tour WWE is running the same night in Nuremberg, Germany and Zürich, Switzerland (the only show in Switzerland this time around). Take a guess which show Cesaro will be working.

[1992-08-29-WWF-Summerslam] Bret Hart vs Davey Boy Smith
This is a Bret Hart vs Davey Boy spot that they have done before. True, but the execution here was still sloppy. Bret should have landed on the top rope, here he had problems even catching the middle rope.

[1992-08-23-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Randy Savage & Ultimate Warrior vs Nasty Boys
The whole build up to the supposed main event of Summerslam is weird. Centering it around two guys who are not wrestling on the show and having the go-home angle include a tag team that is only doing a dark show match seems counterintuitive. I almost seems as if they had problems promoting two face vs. face matches and wanted to have a heel in the picture of at least one match.

Apparently they really wanted Bruce for Owen's role but Bret insisted on Owen.

Comments that don't warrant a thread - Part 3
From what I can gather from two different sources European wrestler Dragan Okic got life threatening injuries (severe head trauma, cerebral edema and lung injuries) on a show in Austria last Saturday. He got the injuries taking a spinning powerbomb from Joe Doering. Okic finished the match and lost consciousness backstage. He was put into artifical coma.

It's not just Vince who is effected by this, Triple H was not subject to the wellness policy even when he was much more active than he is nowaday.

[1992-08-14-GWF] Chaz vs Steven Dane (Bungee)
"I saw the ground in 3D." is up there with "It's not hot." with the weirdest sentences ever said in a pro wrestling context.
