I loved when they teamed up after the first draft when both were vicious heels. Wish they had ran with that more and maybe even have a run with tag titles.
But to answer your question, I'd say Eddie. He was really showcased on Smackdown. Benoit had a solid run, but once he lost the title, he dropped big time.

It's basically common knowledge that the Brawl for All was one of the worst ideas in the history of WWE. After listening to Bruce Prichard's Podcast where he talked about it, I started to wonder why they didn't get more out of the results than what they did.
So how would you have booked Bart after he won? Granted, he wasn't very charismatic or strong on the mic, but I think they could have given him a better run.
My idea would have been to give him a mouthpiece or boxing "trainer" that would do all the smack talk for him. Heck, it could have been Harvey Wippleman all I care. And then have Bart star mowing through some jobbers and even some decent talent. He could have had a "knock out punch finisher". If it went well, he could end up in a feud with Austin (losing of course). Definitely not putting him in a match with Butterbean for a 35 second career killer shoot boxing match.
What do you guys think?

Yeah I had heard they were slated to join, it was just a matter of time. Ugh, that's my biggest miss in wrestling. Shawn leaving broke my heart, haha. Could you imagine the DX Army with HBK there? Granted it may have stunted Triple H by a little, but it would have also set up a big feud between him and Shawn. Probably culminating at WM 15.
But back on topic. NAO as heels was a great run in my opinion. You knew the other team could murder them, but they always pulled some crap to get out of it with a W.

So I'm a big fan of the 1997 and 1998 years of WWF. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but pre WrestleMania 14 DX and NAO is my favorite. NAO wasn't in DX yet, but they teamed up a good bit and Road Dogg even wore DX shirts from time to time. When NAO was just starting off, they were such good heels and in my opinion, must see. I can remember hoping that would actually join DX and continue their ways. Then Shawn got hurt and the DX Army was formed after Mania. Anyone else have an opinion on the outlaws before DX? Should DX turned face so soon after Shawn leaving?

Ahhhh 1997 how I love thee. No seriously, 97 was so fantastic because Vince was seeing what it would take to get the ratings. He gave in to Stone Cold, he stopped doing the goofy crap, it was wonderful. I mean Bret Hart was a heel for goodness sake. And I believe 1997 was the Hitman's best work and that's coming from a Shawn guy. Only thing I didn't really care for was The Patriot and Truth Commision. But to your point, Vince started listening and it worked.

Just went back to listen again and it was actually X-Pac and he said he read it somewhere. So not sure what he's reading, haha.

Was listening to the new X-Pac podcast, the one with Scott Hall as guest, and not long into the interview with Hall, the Curtain Call was brought up. Then one of them said they heard a curtain call figure collection was suppose to be coming out. Did anyone else hear this or anything else regarding a special pack? Id be all for it and would definitely pick it up.

I think he was just telling WCW to bring it. Mocking hogan and whatnot, I don't think he would have known, hell, after hearing some podcasts and shoots, I don't think Eric knew Hogan was actually going to be the 3rd man until days before when Hogan finally agreed.
It sucks for Shawn because WCW did bring it. I was so excited he was finally champion and then he had the nWo to compete with. No way was he winning that one

Forgive me if this has been a topic before, seems like there may have been but I did a quick search and didn't see anything.
Anywho, with the recent buzz of Nakamura's entrance at Takeover: Brooklyn 2 and hearing wade Keller and x-pac discuss it, I was curious of which entrances stick out to me the most.
Number 1 for me is a no-brainer, but I'd like to hear what you guys like.
My favorite entrance of all time is Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 14. You had the Chris Warren band out there singing the DX theme, HBK had that presence about him that screamed "I'm the F'n Man!" And he actually yelled that on the way to the ring. It just pumped me up for the match.
The coolest entrance I saw live was Finn Balor at Takeover: Dallas when he added the Texas Chainsaw Massacre theme to his entrance.

I applaud them for getting more content for the network. Apparently it will have interviews from the wrestlers. I'm not gonna talk negatively about them adding more for the network.
