1800Mitch Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nash is the man, would love to see him go in, but as a headliner. As long as that happens, I'm good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 No one can headline over Macho Man, especially not Nash. Nash will surely go in at some point though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Been watching the Monday Night War series - got to episode 19, which is mostly about Vince Russo. That man is, was, and always will be, a f*cking moron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Hacksaw Jim Duggan - I hate this guy. Been doing some reading and some stats on him today and I just don't get it. In his WWF run from 1987 - 1993 - He had 208 matches and only 13 defeats!!!!! - 4 of those defeats were by DQ or CO so was only actually pinned 8 times (1 submission) - His 8 times pinned were against Ted Dibiase, Andre, Savage (x2), IRS, Earthquake, Slaughter and Bam Bam - His 1 submission was against Valentine Why the hell was this guy so protected? It's not like he was even pushed or involved in any title pictures or major storylines. In fact he only had 3 title matches in his 6 year run with the WWF and he WON them all!! - He beat Rick Rude and Honkey Tonk in IC matches by DQ and CO - He beat Slaughter in a WWF Championship match by DQ I honestly can't work out why this guy was so over with the fans given that: - He was total sh*t in the ring - He was fat, ugly and out of shape (not even big guy fat - average guy fat if that make sense) - No mic skills - No costume apart from blue trunks - No music - No moves (his finisher was a clothesline) - The USA chant didn't start until 91 so he was already well into his WWF run - Can't imagine he shifted much merchandise - He didn't have good matches - I can't think of a single good Jim Duggan match or storyline Literally the only thing I can think of that made him over with the fans was his "Hoooooooo" chant. I have to give him credit I guess for having a successful career on paper but I just can't believe how he did it Is there any other wrestler that managed to carve such a successful winning career in WWF as Duggan despite being utter sh*t and not involved in any major storylines or titles??

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 He is anything but shit, but I know Piper also has a ludicrous win/loss record despite never winning the World title. Even Hogan never managed a pinfall victory over him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quentin Taranbino Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Piper was pinned 3 times from 1984 -2003 1984 vs Snuka in a strap match 1991 vs Flair in a house show 1992 vs Bret for IC title Thing is at least with Piper he was in main events, was great on mic, had a colourful gimmick with kilt and music etc Edited January 19, 2015 by DavidMcG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Piper was amazing - one of my all-time favourites. Duggan was shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honestly united Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Wasn't Duggan friendly with Hogan? I always thought it was to do with the USA chanting, never realised this didn't start until later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clyde4life Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Although it's been heavily rumoured, it looks certain that Brock Lesnar will be away after wrestle mania. There's a top 5 on wwe.com just now highlighting significant achievements and even HHH's weekly interview slants towards it. Although I think a champion should be around more than he has been due to his contract, he's been on fire since beating undertaker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 UFC are lining up his first fight. Absolutely confirmed. He might not go to them, but there HAS been contact, and it's a possibility. If WWE offer more, he'll go there, but UFC is the best offer now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 He obviously feels he is healthy enough for another couple of MMA paydays. A few more million in the bank and he can retire to his cabin in the woods for the rest of his life. I wonder if Dana White will try to book Punk's debut and Lesnar's return on the same card? That could do a huge buy rate for UFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
