Mick Foley (twice) once after a comedy show, the other at Steel City Con
Shawn Michaels at a book signing in 2015
The rest were all at Steel City Con
Kurt Angle
Ric Flair
The Undertaker
Miro
Orange Cassidy
I’ve also randomly passed Shane Douglas at a grocery store.
A couple years ago at an AEW show Virgil (RIP) was two people behind me in line at the concession stand where he telling everyone around they wouldn’t let him in for free.

Literally coming in here just to say. If we end up with a fair number of botches towards the end of the show tonight (YES TONIGHT), I won't be surprised. Putting the HOF after Smackdown last year was fine, it was in California, West Coast. It's on the East Coast this year. It's almost 1 am. I've seen so many people online comment that everyone looks exhausted. I've seen people say that Solo has literally been napping in his chair. Someone online said that Wells Fargo is trying to get fans to change seats because everyone left after Heyman. You can't do this to people. Wrestlemania is an all day affair every day of the 'week'. These wrestlers (and fans) are expected to be up early tomorrow, put in a full day at the gym, in planning, and at World, put on the show of their lives, have a press conference until 1am, then wake up the following day and do it again. They needed tonight to sleep. This is horrible. If WWE doesn't look at this cluster and change the date next year to be Thursday, I'll be shocked. And APPALLED. Came here to say basically the same thing. I was struggling to stay awake watching. Several reports are out of a lot of fans leaving after Heyman’s speech. Hall of Fame definitely would benefit being on Thursday night going forward.

Watching at home, wanted to go but it just wasn’t in the cards. Hope anyone here who is going enjoys themselves and sure they will.

The blacking out of the screen and muting of the crowd needs to stop, ruined the segment.

This is one of those things that you knew would eventually happen but you are still disappointed that it did. Yes, physical media is basically on life support at this point, Best Buy recently announced it will stop selling DVD/Blu-Ray’s at the end of the year, surely other stores will soon follow suit. It’s highly unlikely a last minute deal will save WWE Home Video like what happened two years ago. Another thing to consider, who knows what will happen to all the Network content once the Peacock deal expires? Content could end up being lost forever, plus not all DVD’s are currently available for streaming. I get the reasoning, but am still sad this era has come to an end.

Everyone on that card except Goldust, Lance Storm, and Test were a World Champion at some point during their career. Quite an impressive stat.

WM 17 is still the GOAT WM in my view. Everything on the card was must see, even the couple squash matches severed their purpose given the stories they told. Top to bottom, greatest card ever.
As far as the ending goes, Austin turning heel was fine. It was shocking, nobody saw it coming, and it became a huge taking point after the show. Austin’s heel run is what didn’t work.

I for one do not want Roman to pass Hogan. The issue with this reign is that, just like Roman’s push his entire career, it’s completely and obviously forced. I don’t hate Roman Reigns, I’ve just been over this reign for a long time. Two opportunities to make the end meaningful were sacrificed to hype him up, Drew at CATC and Cody at WM 39. If they keep dragging this out just to pad up more meaningless stats, when Reigns finally gets beat nobody will care. Both are polarizing figures, but Roman Reigns will never be anywhere near Hulk Hogan’s level no matter how much he’s hyped up. Three if you count Sami. I know he's not as big of a name or as physically imposing as the others/not the look of a face of the company but that story had him white hot for their PPV match. Coulda been a huge moment for any of the three if management decided to pull the trigger. Just seeing this now, sorry for the late reply… In no way was I trying to exclude Sami. Yes he was white hot going into Montreal, but I knew the whole time he wasn’t going over. In the cases of Drew and Cody I really hoped/thought they had a legit chance.

State Farm did the same to me recently, so I switched coverage to Nationwide. Anytime I’ve looked into other companies they’ve wanted to charge me more If possible try bundling home and auto, it’s cheaper for both that way.

finances. I dug myself into debt by being a dumbass and now I have to take on even more just to get some dental work done. plus State Farm raised my car insurance by almost $100 (for 6 months) so I’m going to be paying almost $1k for 6 months of full coverage on an 11 year old car 🙃 but yeah let’s send money to other countries instead of helping our own! State Farm did the same to me recently, so I switched coverage to Nationwide.

Went to the Pirates vs Yankees game and didn’t record Smackdown because nothing advertised excited me.
Really regretting that decision.

I will use them if I only have a couple items and there’s a line at the registers with cashiers. I’m not a big fan of them. I’ve heard that some places ask for a tip for using the self-checkout, I feel that’s going overboard.

Not only will I say who was WWE Champion on my 10th birthday, I will say who every other champion was as well.
WWE Champion-Shawn Michaels IC Champion-The Rock Tag Team-New Age Outlaws Light Heavyweight-Taka European-Shawn Micheals or Triple H depending on when the reign “officially” begins, the “match” was taped before my birthday but didn’t air until afterwards.

X-Seven to this day remains the GOAT Wrestlemania IMO, so obviously it gets the vote.
As for WCW, Greed was actually a decent PPV and as a whole WCW was starting to show improvement at the very end. Too little too late though.

I would have DX vs Brothers of Destruction at Wrestlemania 26 when all four to them could still put on a great match. It wouldn’t be just a regular tag match, the stipulation would be “whoever loses the fall must retire” Taker pins HBK who still retires afterwards. Going into the match the suspense of Taker losing the streak without being defeated would be interesting.
Sheamus replaces Kane in MITB and the rest of the card remains the same.
