The Rockers were my team as a kid and I so wanted them to be the tag team champions. In all honesty, looking back now I do not think I see a time when it could have happened over anyone else who had the belts at the time  These two worked very well together, I was really pissed at the match as a kid at SummerSlam though with how Power & Glory won! I have to say their finisher is one of my all time favorites. Especially when they would nail it just right and Roma would hit the splash just as Herc landed the suplex. I am sure I have said it before, but I always found it funny how Roma was the Glory as he was just as jakked as Herc was, if not even more so, especially when Herc got a bit bloated towards the end of their run. As much as I loved the Legion of Doom as a kid, I wanted there to be a more competitive match at WrestleMania VII, that right there let you know just how little plans the WWF had for Power & Glory lol. |

As much as I loved the Legion of Doom as a kid, I wanted there to be a more competitive match at WrestleMania VII, that right there let you know just how little plans the WWF had for Power & Glory lol. I remember watching a shoot interview with Paul Roma some years back, and he said that there was more planned for the match than what they got, however, Hercules was having a lot of nagging injuries around this time and couldn't really go for a long match, and, Roma suffered a staph infection just before WrestleMania and could barely use his arm - you can see he is wearing a really big bandage on his arm at the elbow. So, they did the squash to at least get them on the card and give them a WM payoff, and it helped LOD going forward. But I agree, I don't think the squash match helped Power and Glory much, especially going forward, after that, they looked like a jobber team. Also, something I learned from the shoot interview was, the way they built the team is Roma would get all the glory, so he was the one that always pinned the opponent. However, Hercules was the power, and to keep him looking strong, Hercules was never pinned win the tag team lost, only Roma. I think that is pretty cool, and shows you how good things can be when you really think about your character and gimmick. |

Well the initial plans had The Rockers beating the Harts for the belts then dropping them to Power & Glory @ WM7. Vince got itchy feet and wanted to split the Harts, give Bret a good run in the RR 91 & get going on his singles run. But in the meantime so much changed..... The episode with the ropes happened during the title switch & Vince took it really really badly...LOL. Just turned on the whole idea so it was gonna be the Harts dropping to P&G @ WM. Rockers were out in the cold. Vince having to take the IC title off KVE early didnt help the Rockers either...."too many f*ckin title changes for gods sake" Then in the meantime He signed the Nasty Boys and absolutely loved them. bad sign for Rome & Herc when the Nastys were put with Jimmy Hart. Nastys were put in the Title picture. Vince loved the idea of the Harts smashing the Bolshys at WM6 and proclaiming themselves #1 contenders....so he said hed repeat it at 7 with LOD & the boys. its such a good insight into Vince & his humors...... |

After Rock vs Austin, Demolition vs Andre/Haku, Jake vs Rude, and Taz vs Sabu can you do the Freebirds vs Von Erichs?

I'm sure it was supposed to happen but I don't see why Vince would want Power & Glory as champions. I don't think Hercules won a match since mid 1989 and I don't think Roma won a match in many years, not counting his dark match against another jobber. To me, as a kid those guys were absolute losers. I know they were just doing their job but I can't see them as champs. It's probably good the Nasty Boys came when they did. P&G as heel champs would have been as infamous as Roma as a Horsemen. When they lost in 60 seconds at Wrestlemania, it was because that's how bad they were. They were supposed to get the quick S.D. Jones or Adam Bomb loss.
Also, for Hawk and Animal's sake the less said about the Outlaw feud, the better. Those were another set of two jobbers put together (though it worked out really well) and the owned LOD. That was the end for LOD, in my opinion.

While they were jobbers to the stars, sometimes putting 2 together just clicks and I think they clicked. New Age Outlawz were born from 2 jobbers. |

I know they clicked but I just don't know how they can be taken seriously as far as 1990s kayfabe goes? Literally ever team in late 1990 to mid 1991 WWF had done much better than those two had the last year or two. I get WWE revisionist history sucks but Paul Roman literally was the "job guy from WWE" that Triple H said he was (not a Triple fan either). Outside of a brief push with the Young Stallions that lasted a few months he only won matches against jobbers. I think Hercules was pretty good but sadly WWF had no real plans for him after the face turn. I'm glad things worked well for them for about a year but I just never saw much in the team. The Outlaws were great but with them it was the right place, right time. If it hadn't been for the Attitude Era they may have been future endeavored. They had gone like a full year of nothing noteworthy. I know Billy was a solid tag performer and along with Bart had helped carry the tag division but after that it wasn't looking too good. He was a failure as a singles performer no matter what era. Ultimately it was Road Dogg's mic skills that got them over and benefit of the Attitude Era coming. |

Austin vs Rock These two would start their legendary feud in late 97 over the IC Title.Rock who wasn't to far into his first heel run would at one point would steal the belt and keep it hostage until IYH DX where he would face Austin in their first match together.D-lo taking the bump onto the truck is still a sight to see all these years later. In the end Austin would prevail and in the process get his belt back. The next night on Raw however Vince would order Austin to defend the belt again against Rock but with that decision from the boss came a forfeit as that is what Austin would do with Rocky becoming the champ.He would get a stunner for his troubles though.Plus Vince would get knocked off the apron in a classic bit Following this with Austin still in possession of the belt he would make Rock do a little fishing so to speak if he wants it. Memorable moment in the feud here. The feud would halt for now following this but they would have interactions in early 98 with Austin throwing em out to win the Rumble and a match on Raw prior to Mania in which the rattlesnake would prevail.Things would pick up in late 98 when Rock would cement his name in the main event scene with him winning the WWF Title at SSeries that year in controversial fashion over Mankind with Austin getting screwed in the end.This would all lead to Austin chasing the belt in a memorable run with the two on a collision course to Mania XV in Philly.First good outing here between the two and one of the very positives about this Mania.In the end Austin would reign supreme. Oh HELL YEAHHH!!! The rematch would take place at Backlash the following month. I gotta mention the build to this match was great tv as you had Rock throw Austin and his smoking skull belt in the Detroit river with him having a ''funeral service'' the following week only for Austin to enter in a monster truck and crash the party.The match itself was better than the Mania match IMO. With Austin winning here this would end the feud for now.They would have interactions late in the year once again at No Mercy with Rock accidently hitting em with a sledge to cost him the match with HHH.This was going to lead Austin.Rock and Trips for the belt at SSeries but in the end Austin would get run over by a car. In real life he was getting surgery on his neck.Things would pick back up between the two in late 2000 as they were apart of the Armageddon HIAC match won by Kurt Angle. In 2001, Austin would Win the Rumble with Rock winning the belt at NWO with the two once again on a collision course at Mania X7 in Houston.This to me is the best in the Mania trilogy. Austin would once again defeat the great one here in shocking fashion that left the wrestling world shook to its core.
Following a cage rematch the following night with Austin winning, the feud would would once again go on hiatus.It would pick up for it's final stretch in late 01 when at SSeries where both guys would be the final two in the WWF vs Alliance winner taker all match in which Rock would prevail.The final chapter in this rivalry would come in early 03. Rock at this point was an established Hollywood star and his character reflected it.One more time these two would collide on the big stage at Mania XIX in Seattle. This time around Rock would prevail but it took multiple rock bottoms to do it.This would end the feud and Austin's career as he retired right after this match. Overall...Austin/Vince and Austin/Rock are the two feuds I think of when I think Attitude Era.Very important feud here that I enjoyed from start to finish. These two clicked instantly.Crazy to think what these guys characters were when they entered the WWF then you look how they turned out in the end. When you talk memorable feuds this one gotta be up there.
