Everybody knew Roman Reigns was going to win the Elimination Chamber. I've known it since last year's Wrestlemania. No way he was going to win the Rumble, because Raw had this event. Strowman winning it would have been amazing and shocking. Something the fans would have cheered for. The fans are going to cheer Lesnar and Reigns beating him won't win him any favors with the crowd, unless Reigns turns heel the next night. It's literally the only thing that will save his career. Just like Cena, if they ever want to make him the top star in the company he needs to be heel look what it did for Hogan. Reigns has the same potential, because he just runs through everybody. Like Strowman not getting really offense in at the end of the Chamber hurt the credibility of every single guy in that Chamber. I wasn't happy with it either, Lana. Glad somebody else sees how predictable WWE is because they do the same things over and over again. The same formula that they have used since the 80s and it needs to change for once.

The Rock and Kurt Angle make the most sense. The Rock was involved in the initial storyline years ago. Kurt Angle was out there for a reason last night. Seth Rollins/Braun Strowman are the only other guys that make some sense because they have had problems with Triple H in the last year.

Jinder Mahal would have been the biggest heel in the 70s and 80s. Would have had one of those great heel managers like the Grand Wizard or Freddie Blassie. He had that athletic build that the promoters started to love in the 80s and he can talk so he would have been great against Hogan for sure.

Kmart hadn't gotten so bad with their toy section that I didn't care that they closed. KB Toys though was pretty emotional. I had gotten 80% of my Jakks Collection there. Wish they would have made it to the Mattel years it would have been great.

I've seen countless threads of what ifs and rebooking a certain superstar/event/company. I've found a game and a devoted fan base that allows you do it. I was hoping to get the word out on this game. I know some of you probably have heard it before as it was featured on Russo's podcast as he booked WCW like he never got fired/left in 2000. There is so many different places you can pick up. I've even done one myself where I take the 1987 Roster a month before Wrestlemania 3. We started with the debut of Monday Night Raw and monthly PPVs. So we will get more title changes, more feuds, and new matchups that we have always wanted to see that never got to happen. Here is the link to mine and there are so many other great ones to read through so I wanted to let everybody in on this to see if we can get anymore fans or maybe even a few new dynasty writers. www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=539729

Moolah retired and Sherri took over and then when Rockin' Robin took the title it just died. It was rarely defended and it seemed like there wasn't enough star power. Sherri was probably the best and they decided to use her as a manager. From what I can tell it seemed like Rockin' Robin defended the title against Judy Martin pretty much until the division died around 1989/1990 when Rockin' Robin left the company. It really died around the time where Moolah screwed Wendi Richter out of the title. Moolah wouldn't really put people over so it had no other stars. You can't have a division built around 2 people and the others rarely made it on tv as it was mainly on live events. Just to prove the point they only made a handful of PPV matches after Wrestlemania 1 and 2.
Survivor Series 1987 - This was probably due to the lack of superstars and they needed a filler match.
Royal Rumble 1988 - Not a big focus event, no star power in matches. Most of the guys used in the battle royal so a tag team match made it.
Royal Rumble 1989 - Women's Title match first since Wrestlemania 2 to make a event and due to the 30 man battle royal using up the top and mid card talent.
So in conclusion they wasn't given enough time. You rarely saw them wrestle on television on a weekly basis so they were forgotten for big stretches of time. But only 3 title defenses on a PPV through Wrestlemania 1 to Wrestlemania 5 when the division was dead is just terrible. Only 5 women matches total it just doesn't put it in a good position to succeed and that's why it was phased out.

Found out on the news sites that Tom Zenk passed away on the 9th. Shocked to see nobody post about this. The Z-Man was a big part of WCW for a stint and had some success in AWA and WWF with The Can-Am Connection.

A Primetime Wrestling DVD. You could have 1 disc of the good matches they had on there. The other 2 discs can be Heenan and Gorilla going at it and segments.

I was there the night he was injured at a House Show. That was the last time I got to see him wrestle. He was always one of the big draws because he was in the tag team picture with Jeter. They never got a chance to make it to the main roster, but he definitely had the talent. Sad to see him get this news.

I own the Wrestlemania DVD don't recall them wrestling at that event. Lol NXT MOTY is easily Black and Velveteen Dream, it was the best match I've seen in a very long time. As far as main roster guys, I think that it's a shame that nobody has mentioned the tag team matches. The New Day and Usos have had 2 classic matches. Sheamus and Cesaro constantly pump out great matches with The Hardy Boyz and Rollins/Ambrose. They wrestled on the kickoff It was a joke since both were rumored to have been upset about being left off the DVD.

Thinking about getting a Nintendo Switch. Heard mixed reviews. Anybody can tell me if it's pretty good graphic and gameplay wise. One game I'm wanting is Mario Odyssey so any reviews of that is also welcomed along with some other games.

If you have ever heard stories about Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn from the independent scene this doesn't shock me at all. Sami Zayn has been floating in the mid card for ages and he finally gets a big angle. Sadly, due to the nature of Survivor Series it's just kinda put on the back burner. They have no opponents for the show didn't make the Smackdown team. So they are just waiting for something. Kevin Owens loves to the be the main guy and he's fallen and no guarantee that he will make it back. Them complaining or doing something like this doesn't shock me one bit.

This is the second time I've ordered a Virgil figure from Toys R Us and it gets cancelled. Last time it was Jakks Classic 2 Pack with DiBiase. So what are you saying?🤔 Toys R Us told me that they sold more than they got in last time and had to cancel my order. Hope this isn't the case this time.
