theres no doubt in my mind that the ending of WM9(a huge miscalculation by Vinnie)has soured it for many people. Looking back now I think it seems miscalculated because we never got the pay off from it we wanted: Hogan vs Bret for the title. I think if we had, that moment would not be looked down upon so much. Plus, as an 8 year old at the time, I thought it was awesome, so its all relative to when you saw the event happen.

i honestly think they just wanted Cena to drop hints of "something big" happening at Mania (ie a heel turn) just to get people to order the PPV thinking it wont be as predictable as we think its going to be. And then if we do order it, we will be sadly disappointed when nothing out of the ordinary happens.

With another thread talking about WM11 possibly being the worst Mania ever, how would u rebook it? Give your thoughts here but heres the catch- you still have to involve Lawrence Taylor in the card. I actually thought LT brought some needed publicity to WWF at the time when the company was in a bit of a lull, plus he did a pretty good job of wrestling all things considered. Heres my card:
Bam Bam vs LT
WWF Title: Diesel (c) vs HBK
Submission Match: Bret Hart vs Owen Hart w/Bob Backlund *Instead of Bret vs Backlund, have one final Bret/Owen showdown to end the feud. I think they could have done some entertaining vignettes with Backlund training Owen in various submission holds too.
IC Title: Jeff Jarrett (c) vs Razor Ramon
1-2-3 Kid vs Roadie
Undertaker vs King Kong Bundy
Tag Titles: Smoking Gunns (c) vs Tatanka and IRS
Yokozuna vs British Bulldog
Not sure what to do with Lex Luger.....maybe a match against Kama?

I always thought they still could have built up a big LOD vs Demolition match for Mania 7. After LOD helps Hart Foundation take the titles, that should have reintroduced Fuji as the manager and "reinvigorated" Demolition to go on another dominating run leading into WM7 and face and lose to LOD, sending Demo off into the sunset in a more appropriate way rather than jobbing to two japanese stars no one had heard of. I think the lineup of Smash/Crush with Fuji as manager still could have worked.

Yea I think the plan was that the Hart Foundation would have already gone their seperate ways into singles careers by the time WM7 rolled around, hence why the "title change" with the Rockers, plus as has been stated they wouldnt have done a face vs face match. Had the title change to the Rockers gone down as planned, I wouldnt have minded seeing one of two scenarios at WM7: Rockers vs Power and Glory (with P&G taking the titles) and LOD vs Demolition or Nasty Boys for the #1 contendership, OR Rockers vs Nasty Boys (Nastys take titles) and LOD vs P&G. And then LOD takes the titles from the heels at SummerSlam that year.
I do think its a shame the Rockers never got a tag title reign.

Do any of the Jakks HBK heads look good on Mattel bodies? Pics would be appreciated as well. I always thought Jakks' scans of Michaels were much better than Mattel thus far (other than the EG type scan)

My all time favorite wrestler is Macho Man Randy Savage Even as a little kid I was drawn to his energy in the ring and in his promos, his bright colored ring attires, everything about him. I followed him in WWF and he was one of my favs in WCW as well. I thought, especially in WCW, he worked well at reinventing himself and keeping himself relevant. I always hated when he always jobbed to Hogan! Now as I am older Ive grown to appreciate even more how great he actually was in the ring and as a legend in the business. I hated that he passed away when he did. I was really hoping for a return to WWE and getting a great documentary DVD and getting his rightful indction into the HOF.

If Sting had come in 93/94, I wouldnt have trusted Vince to use him right. Had he been put in Lugers spot, I highly doubt that Vince would have allowed WCW's biggest star to walk off a helicopter, slam his champion in his debut, and then take the belt from him at SummerSlam 93.
I would estimate that Sting would have been in the IC division, probably feuding with and taking the title from HBK, and would have had to pay his dues for a year or two before being put in the title picture.
He would have been a hge boost to the company though, especially in the leaner times of late 94 and most of 95.

With Mania looking very predictable this year, I think it might be now or never for a John Cena heel turn on Rock, and I think he could pull it off.
I just wanted ECW ONS 2 last night, and Cena basically played a heel against RVD. He can pull off power moves and look strong, and if you watch the match just look at his demeanor walking to the ring. No smile, serious tone, with just the WWE title raised over his head basically saying "you may not like me, but Im the champ, so bite me." I think he could pull off being a heel and could really heat up his feud with Rock if the Rock is the clear face, and open up new possibilities for feuds with the likes of Sheamus and even Punk.

I agree that putting him against Undertaker was a bit hasty, considering after his inevitable loss it puts him in limbo for his next angle. But if they knew he was going to take well deserved time off after Mania, the match with Taker is a good way to write him off TV for a bit.
When he comes back, Id like to see him get into the title picture again and maybe have the Cena/Rock/Punk triple threat we want at SummerSlam. Or if they are wanting to have Rock vs Brock for the title at SSlam, maybe do a Punk/Brock program for the #1 contendership where Heyman screws Punk

Got my E20 christian today from mattelshop and he has the variant glasses (the vacced version that most feel looks much better)
Hopefully this means that those of us that got them from MS will get the better looking glasses. Anyone else received theirs?

Ryback is the only get for me. I prefer aj in street clothes, plus the head scan looks weird. I prefer the jakks HTM to mattels- better likeness and better jump suit IMO The rest are typical figs I don't really need, though I do like ADR

Why not tag him up with Ted Dibiase as the Fortunate Sons? I think this was rumored a while back, and just the other day I saw someone ask Dibiase on Twitter who he would like to tag with and he said McGuillicutty. It would help beef up the tag division and if built correctly, they could fill the heel void that will eventually be left when Rhodes Scholars break up for good.
