John Tenta. The fact he looked 40 in his mid 20’s main eventing with Hogan is something I’ve always kinda marveled at. Also I didn’t know he was Golga up until a year or so ago

Shane Douglas----forgotten ECW legend huge "what if" for me is about Shane Douglas coming to WWF in 2000. Vince apparently had no interest in him or Konnan but took Benoit, Guerrero, Saturn & Malenko. Often makes me wonder .... |

Steven Richards. Good worker and talker and I wish WWF had done more with him.

Christian: Chronically overrated. A good hand maybe above average in fairness but nothing more.

Christian: Chronically overrated. A good hand maybe above average in fairness but nothing more. I think the same about Edge. And if it weren’t for brand splits and the extra championships that goes with it he wouldn’t have had half his world tile reigns. Because if there wasn’t the brand splits the other brands champion would have been the champion over him. |

Do you think wrestling back in the early 80's to early 90's could have benefited from having it's own brand split? In the sense that you could have gotten world title reigns for guys like Piper, Roberts, Rude, Steamboat, Ventura, DiBiase and many others. Or do you think it was better the way it was with a more competitive pace and only one world title? |

Him winning at WM & folks rooting fir him to win this new world belt is insanity |

But I was never a fan of it, because it weakens the titles because now there’s two world champion in the same company. |

But I was never a fan of it, because it weakens the titles because now there’s two world champion in the same company. Yep, I liked the early WWF setup the best with just one World Title, the IC title and the Tag Titles. Also having the Million $ Belt and the King's Crown helped get out a few more "titles" without lessening the importance of the main belts. There should always only be ONE world champion for a company, anything else means you don't have a world champion. It would be like the NBA or MLB or NFL having two Champions, World Series winners or SuperBowl Champions. I didn't like all of the titles that WCW had when I first started watching, there were so many champions, it was too much. For the current product, I think they should have one World Champion that can show up/wrestle on each brand and defend the title, but each brand should have one other title like the US Championship for Smackdown and the IC Title for Raw. It would also be okay if they Tag Titles were split between the brands, but maybe make one the World Tag Titles and the other the US Tag Titles, this way its different. But they could also do the same thing with the Tag Titles as with the World Title and just let the Tag Team Champions appear on either brand to defend the titles. |

Agree on Edge. His spear was so laughable

eh, he’s so much of a steroid creation though. I’d give Bruno the alpha award. dude went from starving in the mountains hiding from nazis as a boy to one of the strongest men in the world. Bruno was a prominent patient of Dr. Zahorian. sorry but do you have any proof? Bruno was one of the people who came forward and went on tv shows about the drug trial and how opposed to the drugs he was seeing being used…he didn’t want that for his son. |

I deleted my post because I wasn’t sure yet, but since you caught it in time… I just thought about your reply to me as I’ve been reading about steroids, plus I recently watched the Dark Side of the Ring episode on the steroid trials and Bruno was mentioned as being a patient of Dr. Zahorian and they were photographed together. Does that mean he took steroids? No. Is it possible? Yes. Bruno said he never touched them and I have no proof otherwise, but it’s a real possibility he used them and lied. |

Test - a wasted talent in WWF/E who I've always thought could have been a top guy.

Not sure what Go Fish and being the patient of a doctor who gave out steroids have in common... but sure. |
