So Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho , Eddie Guerrero, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan are all apart of the average joe fad? You are a moron sir. First you try to say a crowd was trying to get over, now you're trying to say that the biggest star in WWE is apart of an "average joe fad?" I like Reigns but he has nowhere near enough charisma or talent to become a long term success. He will fizzle out and guess who will still be there? Guys like Punk, Bryan, Ziggler. See HBK, Eddie and Y2j had larger than life qualities about them, so did a man you did not mention in Rey Mysterio, Punk has the ability to talk, while Bryan, well he has the ability to chant yes, and no, those characteristics do not lend themselves to wrestling immortality.

The question is will mattel go the extra mile and rescan him since he's had obviously cosmetic work, most notably a restructured jawline

I get that people like Bryan, today's fans are a strange breed that want to vote for the average joe. Roman on the other hand is cut from the classic larger than life pro wrestler mold, and hardcore fans will always be behind that even after the common joe fad dies down.

Whats your source to confirm this? I dont see how he needs to pass a physical when all he would do is punch and play to the crowd with his gestures. Either way he will play some part in this match i think, be it physical or simply in Cena and Bryans corner. They've already had one 60 year old nearly die at a show, there's no way they're taking that risk again. Especially not at Mania, and especially not with Hogan. Even if he were healthy, this is not the match I would want to happen. As long as they keep reckless jobbers away from Hogan, he won't have any issues in the ring.

Did non smarks boycott then WWE when Cena was injured and Bryan was the focal point of Raw?

Hair Vs Hair matches.... featuring only Divas. Wait.... what?!?! Really though, I miss the days when a gimmick match MEANT something, when it was used to blow off a HUGE feud. The promo work alone going in to matches like that was worth it! Exactly, nowadays once a year whenever they roll into Vegas they do the silly spin the wheel deal, that can see a random rematch held inside of a cage for no apparent reason other than they are in Vegas. I also hate the gimmick PPV's it takes away what made those matches special when you turn it into a yearly PPV and just plug in the combatants.

I know its cuz of the kids but I've 3nephews and not one of them doesn't like old school Chair headshots! Children like old school chair headshots because children are stupid. Anyone with any sense has evolved past wanting to see wrestlers concussing each other on a nightly basis, dying in their thirties, murdering their families or razorblading their heads open. Man please don't get me wrong, The whole Benoit situation not one wrestling fan didn't feel for that family. That is not something I would ever debate. Yes he's been erased from wwe history but given what he did? I can understand why they need to do that but his in ring accomplishments can never be erased. I don't really wanna go into that anymore because I feel like it has been covered, on this forum and every wrestling forum. I was simply hawking back to the old days where the story's, the feuds, the action wasn't watered down, I had no intention to offend or upset and I apologize if I have done either. Funny how you mention the old days, the actual chair shots in the old days were nothing like the ones that came into fashion in the mid 90's, and wrestling thrived without it.

Steel cage. At least 1 per month That's overkill, a cage match just to fill a monthly quota takes away excitement and spontaneity.

Lower-card jobbers are usually a wasted spot. Drew Carey, Coach, Hornswoggle, Ricardo and the commentators all add something fun and different to the match. But the likes of Uso A and Uso B in a Rumble (prior to this year) is total "making up the numbers." Sometimes having a jobber that nobody cares about in there is necessary to facilitate a spot made by the more worthwhile entrants, like when Tyson Kidd was in and did some spots with Cena and Hornswoggle that time. Or like if Roman Reigns needs disposable bodies to dump out of the ring tonight. I feel like the most wasted spots are those times in the nineties when they'd fill up Rumbles with old guys that nobody remembered, or Japanese and Mexicans that nobody had ever heard of. Although they only did that because the roster was so thin at the time so it's not like they had many options. Lower card jobbers are the guys who travel on the road with the company year round. I dont expect them to have a match at Wrestlemania, but the least the WWE can do is give them a spot in the Royal Rumble instead of wasting it on legends, announcers, midgets and celebrities. Those lower card jobbers are lucky to get a check and travel the world doing so. Big PPV's call for either big stars or novelty acts that will pop the crowd, not Bland Blanderson coming out to birds chirping.

The Punk "flailing elbow" comes off more disrespectful than respectful. Hasn't he ever watched a Macho Man tape? It's as if he is channeling Shane McMahon.

The guy is supposedly an a**hole not very memorable at all. Ever here the story about how he got that glass eye? If not look it and you will see he is an a**hole. Wade Barrett seems to be hinting that Papa Shango took his spot. I've never even heard about him having a glass eye. Can you post a link? I'd be 100% behind 2 Cold Scorpio coming back. Hell, even keep him around for a while as Flash Funk. He was going at half-speed at last year's CHIKARA King of Trios tournament and still looked pretty good. Great shape for his age. I think he might be one of the handful of the most underrated wrestlers ever. His style in the late-80s to mid-90s was so far ahead of its time... he could have been a superstar if say WCW had him in the Cruiserweight division during the glory days of Nitro. I would have loved to see him in the ring with Dean Malenko or Eddie Guerrero with 15-20 minutes to work with. I agree about him being underrated, but he was too big to be a cruiser weight, the guy looked like he was pushing 260.

He was incredibly dull, especially his feud with the Hammer, but yes, of course I would buy a fig of him. I want figs of everybody! Which we got from Jakks, but ain't getting from Mattel. Sir, I respectfully beg to differ.... the feud with Greg "The Hammer" Valentine was all kinds of fun - which resulted in Garvin losing a retirement match to Valentine, coming back as a ring announcer, then a referee, screwing Valentine out of a win against Superfly Snuka on Saturday Night's Main Event - culminating in a fun, hard-hitting, surprisingly phsychological match at the Royal Rumble that Garvin won by using "The Hammer Jammer" - a fun rip-off of the infamous "shin-brace" that Valentine always wore...... This feud was a LOT more fun than anything WWE's doing today.... but dull? I think not... I did a post about this fun feud a few months ago... check it out for some of the videos, etc. It's a little more than half-way down this page... forum.wrestlingfigs.com/thread/291318/little-unpopular-feuds-likedI agree this feud got tons of tv time and lasted a really long time. It was great to see the pop Garvin got after forcing Valentine to submit to the sharpshooter at the Rumble.

I say yes because wrestlers before paved the way for them. For example when Punk does the elbow drop and wears gear such as Macho Man and Bret Hart it is paying respect to them. I actually do not look at dropping a crappy looking elbow to be much of a tribute to anyone. I also find it appalling that he capitalizes on legends attire to get merch dollars.

Some consider this card to be underwhelming but it really was a great example of Vince laying the ground work for things to come.
-Tito vs Executioner - Santana at this time was still embroiled in a feud with Valentine, but the two had squared off in the two previous MSG cards, and Tito needed a win on the national level so a match with a masked man was what we got, the reason for the mask was to add some value to this victory, since Buddy Rose had done his fair share of jobs coming into this card.
-Bundy vs SD Jones - this matches purpose was to introduce a new dominant heel, and it did so in flying colors.
-Steamboat vs Borne - nothing glamorous, but a top babyface was introduced in Steamboat.
-David Sammartino vs Beefcake - this was a showcase of two youngsters, and also a way to get Bruno out in the garden.
-JYD vs Valentine - JYD was red hot coming in, and provided a great challenge for Valentine, and the run in by Tito kept his feud with the Hammer alive.
-Sheik & Volkoff vs US Express - crowned new champs that would play a pivotal role in the expansion, and gave MSG fans one of the final glimpses of Blassie & The Capper.
-Andre vs Studd was a fun spectacle that showcased the two largest athletes in the company.
-Richter vs Kai this match looking back seems like an afterthought, but at the time it was huge. Aside from Hogan, it can be said that Richter was the most popular performer on the roster at this time.
-Hogan & T vs Piper and Orndorff, this was the match that sold the event, and it did not let the fans down, lots of intensity and it sent the crowd home happy.
Great card too to bottom, I love that it was an actual structured card, rather than super match after super match. I just wish Muraco would've found a spot on the card to setup his spring feud with Hogan.

I'd like to see 2 of 3 falls matches, strap matches, and feuds settled inside of a 15 foot high cage
