Wouldve fit in during those early days of ECW for sure. Can picture him facing guys his brother fought in the 80s in Snuka and Muraco TV Title reign in there as well
Yeah, Brain! You get it! Those early days of ECW, the NWA - Eastern Championship Wrestling days from Oct. 1993 - Aug. 1994 would have been perfect for Vic.
Imagine Vic Steamboat vs. Shane Douglas. The history there from Shane's past with Ricky would tell that story perfectly.

So for anyone unaware, Rick Steamboat has a brother named Vic Steamboat who wrestled. He wrestled in CWA from New England area, and IWCCW from the New York area where he was champion in both promotions.
But he never made it to the WWF, and the only time he was in WCW was as an enhancement talent on TV. I am shocked Vic didn't even make it to ECW in 1993 when Paul E. was bringing in all the IWCCW and CWA talent like Sullivan, Dreamer, Brandi, Taz, and even the "Boston Bad Boy" Tony Rumble.
I watched Vic Steamboat wrestle on YouTube and years ago on IWCCW TV and he wrestled great! He was technical, was a lot like his brother in his moves and mannerisms, but somehow never got the big break in a major promotion.
I wonder why he didn't make it like his brother did??

Only time I could see is if they gave em Backlunds spot at SSeries. He then holds the belt to the Rumble where he drops it to Diesel
I was thinking the same thing, it would have to be Survivor Series where he won it.
I like that he never held it though. Him winning his first title as a Tag Title with the guy who ended Bret's first title reign in Yokozuna was better for his career than him winning the WWF Title to lose it days later to Diesel, or two months later to Diesel at the Royal Rumble.

That Mike Santana vs. JDC match tonight on Impact was one of the bloodiest matches I have seen in such a long time!!
Dango was bleeding so much it reminded me of when Eddie Guerrero was bleeding in his match with JBL at Judgment Day 2004

I was 25 years old at the time when it happened and I was a fan of it!
Because of that DX reunion, I got to see HBK vs. John Cena for the WWE Title in the main event at Wrestlemania 23 LIVE!! Sure, I was way up in the cheap seats for it, but I was still there, so that's pretty awesome.

Dom needs to visit a gym and lift some weights. If he had more defined, bigger arms, then I could take him more serious as a threat.

Why haven't you married her yet?! She clearly keeps giving you signs to ask her!

Gunther getting that win back
I am not a Gunther fan, but even I know Sami shouldn't have beaten Gunther at Wrestlemania.
Bron Breakker should have been the one to end Gunther's IC Title reign.
Sami Zayn is just... blah.

Did anyone see pictures of who Lyra is marrying?! If a guy that looks like him can land someone as hot as Lyra, than I feel I should start hitting on the girls that I feel are out of my league! Ha ha ha

It's the battle of "I wish I was Trish Stratus, but never will be" match!

Only downfall is that it will be on at 8 pm I bet. Not the 11:30 ones I remember from being a child.
It has to be done live, if it is taped and showed at 11:30 I am not sure how that will do now a days with the internet and spoilers. So I can't see it being anything but an 8 pm start time for those SNME shows.

I felt somewhat underwhelmed tonight too with Smackdown. Randy Orton and Roman Reigns being the only big returns was.... expected, being they have been around since SummerSlam except for the odd times they were away.
I also thought Smackdown was supposed to be 3 hours tonight?? For some reason I thought I read that somewhere.
I expected The Rock or Cena to be on there to bring in the new Smackdown, but nothing. Hell, not even a return for Jimmy Uso, and I would have been okay to have seen that tonight!
I guess I was just expecting something more. Oh well, it is what it is.

Excellent list of superstars and studs right there!
I am a fan of all 7 of these men. All have a cool point in my fandom for wrestling.
If I was to pick in order of fave to least, it would go like this...
Kevin Nash Bret Hart Randy Savage Sid Hulk Hogan Ric Flair Big Show
Again though, all 7 would easily make a top 100 list for me if I was to name off a top 100 wrestlers I enjoyed over the years.

I always liked Shane Douglas short jabs he'd give when his opponent was in the corner. He always looked like he was directly hitting him no matter what camera angle picked it up! His working punches were pretty decent too. It never looked like he phoned it in.

Probably the best uppercut I ever seen in pro wrestling!

I would have to put a lot of thought into this to make my ultimate dream teams for these decades.

Poor Valkyria, to go from being buddies with Becky Lynch, to now tagging with Zelina and Natalya and feuding with The Lesbianz.

Even Calgary fans are like "ugh" to Natalya coming out.
