RIP Sabu! 😢

We took a Lyft in Atlanta last week and our driver was Mr. Hughes, former grappler in the WWF.  He had some funny antidotes about other WWF characters from the 80s/90s.

Funny, was he dressed in a white button down shirt, tie, suspenders, sunglasses and a hat?

If they're moving Mania to UAE or some other Persian Gulf prince's country holy shit that would be crazy.

Mariah May debuts on NXT last night. Pretty surprised since left AEW about a week ago/ Guess there's no waiting period after AEW.

Was the R-Truth release a work or did they reverse their decision?

I want to say it was 75% real and 25% a work. Thought it was Roman Reigns at first cause of the spear but then you could see part of his ankle right after that and knew it was him. What a pop though! Don't think he will be using the "R-Truth" happy/funny character now. Seems like he's doing his Ron Killings persona from his time at TNA.

Also cool to see Jacob Fatu turn face. Fans seemed to want that to happen.

I'm wondering if with what's happening with Iran if they'll still send them to Saudi Arabia?

Whilst flipping through channels I normally do not watch there was a Scoobie Doo meets WWE cartoon.  Intrigued by this so I watched a few minutes.  They had the Ubndertaker, Triple H, Steph McMahon and Vince.

Has anyone watched this or even knew about it?  I remember the old cartoon of WWF superstars in the 80's but never knew this existed,

I remember WWE advertising it, never watched it though. I think it came out about 10 years ago?

I do remember and have some VHS tapes with the 80's cartoon. Hulk Hogan's Rock n Wrestling. That was entertaining at the time. I think Brad Garrett did one of the voices.

Can we talk about Wrestlemania 8?

Jearlpam0925 said:

My random notes:

This was peak WWF

This mania was the ticking clock of the old guard.

We should've got a another Tito vs HBK match after this.

Sherri had nothing after this angle in her career, that stinks. 

LOD should've had a match here. Speaking of which, the Road Warriors never got the exposure they should have in WWE. Basically they should have held the tag title the second they showed up (also, I get it, Vince didn't like any gimmick created without him).

(Coming up on the Jake Roberts/Undertaker match)

I used to do predictions and possible matches for the big PPV's back around then. I have a binder with all that stuff (predictions, possible matches, rankings, results). I'll have to find it and see what I had for WM8.

Sucks about Kevin Owens. Dude might miss over a year cause of a neck injury. Looks like Randy Orton needs a match now for WM 41. I think Alestair Black would be a great opponent for him. Hearing Finn Balor is the most logical oppenent though.

AEW Dynasty is in philly tonight. Not going though. Have volleyball. Plus it's at the Liacouris (sp?) Center which i'm not too familiar at all with. Also AEW has kinda lost my interest as of late.

Found’e

This is very interesting and I'd love to see more.  Hogan vs Flair should have been the main event!!!  Also funny that it would be another 5 years before Sid and Taker fought at mania. 

I know I definitely did Wrestlemania IX for possible matches. I may have done 10, 11, and 12 as well as some SummerSlam ones from around that time as well. 

I also remember doing a WWF vs WCW “dream” card in the mid 90’s. I’ll have to post them soon.

Jeez, I did Wrestlemania possibl;e matches up to Wrestlemania XX. ANd I did WWF vs WCW a few years in the mid 90's. Those were fun to look at.

I did WWE vs AEW around 2021/2022 time period. Some matches have happened and some may happen pretty soon.
