The Rest of the Reader Submitted Top 10 Lists

In our lives we go through many changes. Wrestlers just happen to go through the same changes that we go through. Only they go through them over the course of a few years rather than a whole lifetime. Just ask Ed Leslie, Matt Borne, Crush, and Sgt. Buddy Lee Parker
Haven't you ever wished that somebody else could be you just for a night (Just ask Doink how it feels when this actually happens :)
When you watch the Olympics you that you want to break into chants of "USA, USA, USA", when we are palying the Chinese in ping-pong!
You have those days when you are on top of the world! (i.e Prince Iaukea taking the TV strap from Regal)
You have had those times where absolutely nothing in your life goes right (i.e the Bootyman getting the living bejesus kicked out of him by everybody in the WCW and NWO with the exception of "Desperado" Joe Gomez, Jim Powers, and nWo Sting).
When you do something good you know that you deserve a self high-five DDP style.
How many times have you distinguished yourself for doing somethimg really good only to ruin your good name by doing something you have no business doing! (i.e. Steve "Mongo" McMichael)
How many times has a wife or girlfriend discouraged you from doing so! (i.e Debrah McMichael)
How many times have you wanted to gather three of your closest friends and then do a mudhole stomp on a boss, Jeff Jarrett, co-worker, or fellow student Horseman style?
The struggle of good vs. evil

Top Ten Wrestlers Who Have Hit Rock Bottom

"The Man Who Will Take Hulkamania into the 21st Century" The Renegade - It almost seems like forever since he was TV champ, but it was only two short years ago. He now gets jobbed out to High Voltage and "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan. He must really need the money!!!!!!
"Desperado" Joe Gomez - He really hasn't fallen that much. Losing to Jim Powers and "Hardwork" Bobby Walker with the Renegade by his side when they used to beat teams like them and High Voltage is sort of like falling out of a 1st floor window, but that does not make his situation any less pitiful! When The Renegade can't put up with you, you may as well quit the whole wrestling business and return to selling women's shoes.
"Das Wunderkid" Alex Wright - Remember when this guy got a push? I don't really remember, but I did hear that he did (pretty unbelievable). I really can't see him getting any kind of a push in the future (I mean they tagged him with Mark Starr for crying out loud), so he ought to just go to college or something. Skinny German guys with fake accents can really pick up a lot of women at a place like the University of Oklahoma.
Doink - This is the gimmick (not the individual) that holds victories over such superstars as Crush and Shawn Michaels. Now, I am not so sure whether they would book him to beat Roadblock if he made a comeback.
The Nasty Boys - From tag team of the year (I think in 1995) to a team that is lucky if they could get a match on Pro. It really seems that there is only room for one tag team with the street fighting persona and that is Public Enemy who are infinitely more over than the Nasties at this point.
M. Wallstreet (Mike Rotunda) - The man was once a headliner. It may have been 12 years ago, but a headliner is a headliner. Now, I wouldn't pay $2to see him at the local high school gymnasium.
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine - Sorry Greg! A win over Billy Kidman does not make you #1 contender for a world title shot. It justs shows that you can beat Billy Kidman. Hell, if I went down to the WCWSN tapings and said "I want to wrestle," they would probably book ME to beat Billy Kidman.
(tie)-John "Earthquake" Tenta/Big "Bossman-Bubba" Rogers - Both were headliners at Summerslam '90. Now, the only thing they can headline is the Mulberry County pie eating contest. (My money is on Tenta!)
Aldo Montoya - Another case of jumping out of a first floor window - not too far to fall. If he is going to job as much as he does the WWF may as well put him and Barry Horowitz in gold masks and make them the NEW Conquistadors. At least that would be fun to watch.
Lelani Kai - What a horrible fate for the former ladies champion. She must really need the money. I feel bad for her. Maybe she can be a valet for Jim Powers, Joe Gomez or nWo Sting. At least that would give her some purpose.

Top 10 Men Who Should Never Have Held A Title

by Punk John

The Renagade: "The man who will lead Hulkamania into the 21st century" Why else would he be worst?
Hulk Hogan: If the man can't do anything without the NWO, they should punk him. Besides, I don't care about Rodman.
Jim "I use a taped fist and don't get disqualified" Duggan: When he starts USA chants when his opponent is from the USA, I change the channel because it's insulting.
Prince Iawhatever: I see nothing different from him and Rocky "please cheer for me" Maivia.
Rey Misterio, Jr: After losing the WCW Cruiserweight title, he hasn't won a single PPV.
"Lord" Steven Regal: After seeing him keep the WCW TV title by time limit draw about a million times, I have gotten bored.
The Godwinns: As I saw on an issue of Professional Wrestling Insider,"Champs for a moment, fools for a lifetime."
The Sandman: A chain smoker could never hold the ECW title!
Jerry "The King" Lawler: I am getting tired of seeing him win the USWA unified title every week.
Bob Holly: I never even heard he held the WWF Intercontinental title. [Editor's Note: Whether or not Bob Holly ever held the WWF Intercontinental Title depends on your definition. He won the title match but the title was held up. He lost the rematch.]

Top 10 Wrestling Moves To Do On Your Little Cousin

by Punk John

DDT. This is their favorite.
Torture rack. Someone called this a "demented piggy bank ride". They were right.
Perfect plex. Second favorite.
Body slam. Simple, yet effective.
Jackknife. I can never get this quite right.
Sharp shooter. The one move that everyone can tell does not hurt.
Tombstone piledriver. This is OK.
Randy Savage elbow drop. This is the one where he lays his forearm on you.
Shoulder breaker. Two words: Papa Shango.
Body press/splash. Make sure you do it the Ultimate Warrior's way.

Top 10 Most Memorable Heel Turns

by Big Rob

"You people can just stick it brother!!" No reference needed here, since everyone's favorite suntanned, steroid induced walrus finally told everyone who bought in to Hulkamania, from the T-shirts to the even stupider cartoon show (I was 14 when it aired and even I got stomach turns), what idiots they were to think that he gave a rat's hiney about saying prayers, working hard, and eating vitamins, or 'roids.
Paul Orndorff waffling you-know-who with a clothesline and a piledriver after their match against King Kong Bundy and Big John Studd. Classic!! Go into your local video store and look in the old school wrestling section known as "Special Interest", and maybe you'll find the video with that clip. Yet after all what Hogan did to him, Orndorff still had to job to this guy because Hogan was Vince's Yacht payments.
The Horsemen giving Sting the boot at Clash of The Champions. Flair hated Sting so much he even kneed him the family jewels after landing a forearm, which was a real blow. Then Sting came out trying to get at Flair, Flair charged at Sting, beating the blood out of Mascara boy, and...nuff said. WCW put this one over so good that the fans were even cheering for Muta, Buzz Sawyer and the Dragonmaster (some Jobbernese) to kick the Horsemen's rear in the cage match.
Ricky Morton joining the York Foundation. Although he sucked even more after he turned heel and had to go back to the Rest N' Retirement Express eventually, it was nice to see him sucker-punch and piledrive Robert "Crow" Gibson to let him and eveyone else know who carried the team.
Shawn Michaels punking Marty Janetty on the Barber Shop. Marty Janetty was the first jobber/worker to go through a window, and should receive some credit since he was juicing like nobody's business. However, this was an example of the Shawn I used to know rather than this "toy" he is today. Fans love him now, but they used to deify him then.
Barry Windham lariating Lex Luger and joining the Horsemen. Okay, so it wasn't much except for Tully Blanchard and Arn Anderson winning the tag belts and Barry getting the Midnight Rider's mask to prove it was Dusty. But it did put Windham over as the greatest U.S. champ in history, because he whupped tail better than Stone Cold, wrestled better than Bret or Misawa, and clawed better than Kerry Von Erich. My vote for best Horseman of all time.
Randy Savage blasting Hogan with the WWF belt after Hogan stole Liz. Hogan was worse then than he is today, because he hated the fact that Savage was WWF champ and not him. So what do you do? Destroy the other guy's life to build your own back up. Simple. BTW, see #1.
The Road Warriors turning on Sting, Luger, and all of WCW. They cleaned house for eight straight months after that, with them FINALLY winning the tag belts and even taking out one of Dusty's eyes. I hated it when the Varsity Club made them turn face again.
Bret telling America to kiss his Canadian bum. If Bret winds up like Bob Backlund (he had the same Mr. Clean purpose too, and look at him), I will pay Kama to get out of that Vegas stripclub and put on the Papa Shango gimmick so he can put a curse on Vince that'll make him throw up whenever he's with a non-wrestling audience, such as some sports show on Primeticket.
Rick Martel walking out on Tito Santana at Wrestlemania V. The heel turn wasn't nearly as satisfying its result...seeing Tito Santana be the victim of a spike piledriver from the Brainbusters.

Top 10 Most Impressive Moves In Wrestling

by Sam B.

A big man doing a moonsault (Vader, Hugh Morrus): Morrus's "No Laughing Matter" may be one of the most athletic things I've ever seen, in any sport. I can't believe a man of his size can go so far through the air while doing a backflip then still land on the other wrestler.
Anyone flying off the turnbuckle or over the ropes onto someone outside the ring (most of the cruiserweights): These guys are out of their minds.
The Choke Slam the Giant gave Vince on Nitro when Vince was going to hit him with Sting's bat: This might be the single most vicious move I have ever seen.
A Frankensteiner (especially the one Chris Jericho pulled off the top turnbuckle at Clash): Would you let someone fling you through the air by your neck?
A Superplex: Being thrown upside-down through the air off a turnbuckle isn't how I'd want to spend my time. And it can't be too much fun for the guy doing the throwing, either.
A good, hard Power Bomb (Vader, Kevin Nash, Sid): It's even more fun if they do it outside the ring (through a table, on the floor, etc.)
Rey Mysterio Jr's top rope hurricarana: I don't think any other move is more dependent upon both wrestlers being in exactly the right place at exactly the right time. Plus, it just looks so cool when it works
I don't know if it has a name or not, but when Scott Steiner catches a guy in midair coming off the turnbuckle then lifts him above his head before slamming him to the mat, it's a thing of beauty.
The Torture Rack: Yeah, everyone (including me) rags on it, but it *is* an impressive display of upper body strength. Consider that he's had just about everybody in WCW (including Roadblock, Kevin Nash, and the Giant) up in the last six months. That tells you something.
A really good, loud chop to the chest. I especially love it when Chris Benoit gets someone just right and you hear that "pop" and see that handprint on the other guy's chest.

Ten Moves I Have No Respect For

by Sam B.

The Torture Rack: OK, it may be an impressive display of strength but hey, if it's so hot, why doesn't anyone else do it? Everyone and his brother have a power bomb or a leglock of some sort, but only Luger uses the Rack. That tells you something.
Clothesline: The last resort of the truly moveless. Duggan and Mongo, are you listening?
The Tree Of Woe: Come on people, just get off the turnbuckle!!! Chris Benoit is the only guy I've ever seen get down, and even he went ahead and laid up for it after all the next week. Sigh.
Big Bubba's famous pulled punches that come to rest about eight feet from the face of the guy he's supposed to be hitting.
The Leg Drop Of Doom: 'nuff said.
Any elbow drop: If it left the other guy writhing in pain and unable to speak or breathe for ten or fifteen minutes like an elbow to the throat ought to do I might feel differently. But, since it doesn't, it's here.
Sleeper hold: Oh come on. I especially love it when the ref does the three "lift the arm" checks -- One, arm flops down. Two, arm flops down. Three, it stays up!!! (or Duggan gives the old thumbs-up...HOOOOOOOO!!!) Let the Comeback begin!!! Who wrote this script anyway?
Eddie Guerrero's Frog Splash: It's an aerial move named for an amphibian. Come on, at least Superfly made sense.
Kevin Sullivan's Double Foot Stomp On The Chest Thing: "Okay, you're going to lay down and Kevin's going to jump on your chest then you pretend you're unconscious." Yeah okay, whatever.
The good old face rake. Or should I mention the eye gouge? It doesn't matter. They're both tired old cliches and totally unbelievable.

Top Ten Reasons Why the nWo Just Aren't What They Used to Be

by Anonymous

To complete the look, Scott Hall should shave his head to resemble a mohawk, stop working out, and eat junk food until he gains 70 pounds of flab.
Souled Out made Jim Duggan matches seem interesting!
A simple logic problem: the nWo has around 17 members. WCW has around 60 or so. They've "taken over," haven't they??
Hogan can't act. Scratch that. He pretends to be a wrestler. Hogan couldn't wrestle his way out of a box. Scratch that. He does, everytime I turn off my television when he's on.
Isn't it interesting that a Ted Turner owned product uses black and white as its colors?
More in-fighting since Windham was a member (Sorry, that's why the Horsemen aren't what they used to be).
This year, the coin flip said Savage and Hogan would be friends.
A silly admission rule: You must have more hair on your face than Hogan has on his head or ink on his face.
Eric "I'm associating myself with the same guys who chucked me through a table causing selective amnesia while Turner has my soul in his hand and lips on his butt as I sign guys older than me and from every nation except my own because I know that Hogan can moonsault with the best of them because I showed him how" Bischoff.
nWo really stands for "now We're overrated".

Top 10 Personnel Changes To Improve The nWo

by H.L.

Ultimate Warrior over Hollywood Hogan - Hey, seriously, when I think icon, I think Warrior. Warrior can actually win a match by himself, and not have to have a bunch of rats beat his opponent up!
No one instead of Hall & Nash - Hey they started the freakin' thing, and so far are the only ones who are decent!
Jacqueline instead of Liz - Hey, with Liz, she'll cry if she hits someone, Jacqueline will MAKE someone cry!
Chris Benoit instead of Scott Norton - Why not have someone who is not on 'roids and still looks great?!? (flying headbutt rules the earth!)
Jerry Flynn over M. Wallstreet - ANYONE over G.D. Wallstreet! Come on!!
Dean Malenko instead of Syxx - Why would you want a cruiserweight wannabe that steals belts, while you could have a REAL cruiserweight, and someone who can WIN the belts?!?
Jimmy Hart instead of Teddy DiBiase - Hey you've gotta face it, Jimmy's one of the best managers of all time. While you're at it, you even get your face on one of his nifty jackets!!
Kevin Sullivan instead of Eric f'n Bischoff - Hey why not have someone who is in control AND can wrestle?
John Tenta instead of Big Bubber - Hey if you want a fat jobber, why not go with one of the best, and has guts enought to wear REAL wrestling tights instead of a T-shirt and Exit to Eden biker shorts
Rick Rude instead of Buff Bagwell - Show that 'roider, what a REAL man looks like

Top Ten Funniest Things I Ever Saw

by Kevin T.

Hulk Hogan legdropping Randy Savage at Bash at the Beach 1996
Kevin Nash powerbombing Eric Bischoff through a stage at The Great American Bash 1996
Bam Bam Bigelow cutting Tatanka's "sacred" red hair
Kevin Nash whipping Randy Savage with a Slim Jim (and the Giant eating it afterwards)
The nWo in the broadcast booth (especially Kevin Nash)
The fake Sting kicking the hell out of Lex Luger
Tatanka kicking the hell out of Lex Luger at SummerSlam 1994
Razor Ramon promos when he first came to the WWF (ie, him taking a apple from a street vendor in Miami)
Prince Iaukea winning the TV title
The Renegade winning the TV title and him being called the Man who will take Hulkamania into the 21st century

Top Ten Worst Jobs in Wrestling History by Timothy Joyce

Arn Anderson jobs to Renegade for the Television Title: The only satisfaction I have recieved from this is the fact that "the Champ to Chump" is now a Jobber El Grande®.
Steve Austin jobs to Hacksaw Jim Duggan for the US title: The only reason ol' One Eye won the title is because he is a Friend of Hogan (FOH). I don't blame Steve for leaving WCW after that fiasco.
Honky Tonk Man jobs to Ultimate Puk..uh..Warrior for IC title in 30 seconds: It doesn't matter whether you like a guy's gimmick or not, a 30 second job is insulting to both athletes and the fans. They could have at least let Honky do a decent job and keep his self-respect.
Ric Flair jobs to Hulk Hogan for WCW title: Mr. No-Job is a blight on wrestling, and Ric Flair should not have had to even soil his hands on Bollea's steroid-withdrawaled carcass, let alone have to job to him.
The Giant jobs to Hogan at Hog Wild: In real life, Paul would tear Terry in half.
Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels jobbing to Sid for the WWF title: It is well-known that everyone in the real wrestling world has a problem with the guy; so why does Vince keep pushing this steroid-abusing no talent who is obviously disliked by both crews (WCW and WWF)?
Hunter Hearst Hemsley jobs to Rocky Maivia for IC title: No talent, six-month rookie jobbers with lame finishers should not get big pushes just because their father and/or grandfather was some midcarder nobody (no disrespect intended). Period.
HHH jobs to Aurelian "Beer Belly" Roberts: I know he had to be punished, Vince, but don't you think that was a bit harsh?
Lord Steven Regal jobs to PRINCE IAKEUA (?!!???!!?) for the TV title: I would not blame Regal one bit if he tore up his WCW contract and hightailed it over to ECW where they appreciate talented wrestlers and don't try to humiliate them (Note: don't even mention the WWF; two words: Flash Funk). I don't get a crap who his dad was, this Prince Icky-Wicky jerk does NOT deserve the TV title. This is almost as bad as when they made Regal job to Antonio "Japan's Hogan" Inoki and Larry "The Living Bore" Zybysko. What a load of crap!
Anyone jobbing to the Head Booker: Let's see, Dusty "Big Ol' Belly-welly" Rhodes wins the NWA title from Ric Flair, Kevin Sullivan (at about 45 and with a beer belly) squashes every opponent, Hogan beats guys half his age with 1000 times the wrestling talent...gee, I wonder why? Hmmm.......

Top Ten People That Losing To Means It's Time To Retire

By Jim D.

The Renegade - Looks like a Chippendales dancer with that choker around his neck
Aldo Montoya - Speaking of someone who looks ready to retire�
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan - As Jesse Ventura noted some years ago, yelling "Hooooooo!" while your opponent is pounding the stuffing out of you is not a sign of high intelligence.
Bobby Heenan - As much as I love him as a manager or announcer, he just can�t wrestle. Ever see the PWI from 1970 with a bloodied Heenan on the cover and the caption, "My God Bobby, what happened to your face?"
Jim Powers - He wrestled better before the steroid program.
Tom Stone - A $300 a match jobber from the old "WWF Superstars of Wrestling" who beat Jake "The Snake" Roberts back in 1990. Jake has been a shadow of his former self ever since. Hmmm, maybe they should have him beat Hogan, and Snuka, and Piper.
Jacqueline (Miss Texas) - I�m not saying she can�t wrestle, but if they�re forcing a guy to job to any woman other than a former ladies champ, his career is going nowhere anyway.
Roadblock - 400 lbs. is meaningless when the guy has no talent to back it up.
Virgil/Vincent - When they finally threw him into wrestling matches, it was painfully obvious why they hadn�t bothered before.
One Man Gang - Roadblock with a push. Scary, isn�t it?

Ten Worst Wrestlers Ever To Hold A Singles Title In WWF Or WCW

By Anonymous

Renegade - He beat Arn Anderson for the TV title and hasn't won a match since
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan - How he beat Steve Austin in record time I will never know
One Man Gang - Why did Eric gave him the U.S. title instead of to somebody who can actually wrestle?
Bob Holly - He only had the tag team title because of the 1-2-3 Kid
The Mountie - His title reign as the IC champ lasted only two days when Vince realized he made a mistake
Marty Janetty - Just cause one Rocker became a singles champ doesn't mean both should
Prince Iaukea - He never won a match in his career before Nitro. Why have his first win be at a title defense?
Yokozuna - The worst WWF champion ever (Yes, this includes Hogan)
Honky Tonk Man - Worst IC champ of all time
Jeff Jarrett - There is no way he should have ever beaten Scott Hall twice for the IC title.

Ten Worst Sets Of Teeth

Scott Hall - Minus at least two, courtesy of #6.
Jerry Saggs - Minus one.
Mankind - Minus one.
Bam Bam Bigelow - Minus one.
"Crippler" Chris Benoit - Minus one. Seemingly wears a falsie sometimes.
Andre The Giant - Could have employed an orthodontist full time.

Buddy Lee Parker: This poor JTTS has been pummeled by every WCW athlete with the exception of Disco Inferno. My favorite Buddy Lee moment was at the second Battlebowl (check your tapes, I don't want this to become a manifesto).
P.A.: Jack Boot, Sgt Buddy Lee Parker of the State Patrol, the Leperchan (all in one month!!!).
The Slammy Award Winning Rocket Avenger King of Harts Owen "Blue Blazer" Hart, formerly of High Energy w/KoKo B. Ware and the New Foundation w/ Jim "Who" Neidhart: Try fitting that on a business card.

P.A.: OZ, Vinni Vegas (w/ DDP as the Vegas Connection), Master Blaster Steele, Big Daddy Cool Diesel, nWo member #2.

Nelson Frazier (aka Mable)
Luke Graham (aka Bushwackers)
Butch Miller (aka Bushwackers)

Top 10 Reasons Why Wrestlers Do Not Belong On Television (with the exception of wrestling programming of course) Or In Movies

Hulk Hogan (Surprise Surprise!) - His numerous ventures into acting are too many to mention, but can anybody tell me when he actually produced anything of quality? In all fairness, his appearance in Rocky III was pretty cool, but that was before his ego swallowed him up.
Marcus "Buff" Bagwell - His movie hasn't even been released yet but the good word tells me that it certainly ain't no Forrest Gump.
Zeus - Oh wait! He should be under the reasons why actors should not try wrestling.
King Kong Bundy - Bundy makes his second appearance on the chart, because he was still a monster 5-count-wanting heel when he made his first appearance on "Married Wtih Children." Needless to say, he isn't exactly Sean Connery when it comes to acting. In Bundy's defense, Sean Connery isn't exactly King Kong Bundy when it comes to wrestling.
Bam Bam Bigelow - Bam Bam Bigelow is just not that intimidating. Those kids in "Major Payne" should have hired Bubba Smith instead!
Sgt Slaughter - Who could forget him on G.I Joe? The funny part of the whole thing was that while he was a heel in 1990-1991, USA still showed the episodes of him opening a can of whup-ass on Serpentor and Cobra Commander.
Rey Misterio Jr./The Giant - And people wonder why wrestling fans get such a bad rap. Their appearance on Regis and Kathie Lee was humorous but it did not give those non-wrestling fans any insight into the sport.
The Nasty Boys - We were able to get a quick glimpse of them while Walter Mattheau was watching T.V in Grumpier Old Men. Thank goodness this only lasted a few seconds.
Legion of Doom - They were on Arsenio in 1991 fighting the Nasty Boys. Needless to say, the match was a fairly decent brawl but it was no Dean Malenko vs. El Ultimo Dragon.
King Kong Bundy - "Married With Children", 1995. At this point, the honorary member of No MAAM was reduced to a mid-carder in the WWF. If he could not even beat the Undertaker, he surely could not have beaten a mega-ego like Bud Bundy.

[Author's Note: Wrestlers have made a few good TV/movie appearances. I remember Sting on the Vicki Lawrence show. He gave a very solid interview. Sting is obviously an educated man. Does anybody know his educational background?]

Top Ten Reasons Bobby Heenan is the Best Color Commentator on TV

Is the number one reason that Monday Nitro is one of the best wrestling shows on the air. Notice how Monday Night Raw has suffered since Bobby left? Sure, the wrestling is the main draw, but the on-air talent play a big part as well.
Met him two years ago at a Clash of Champions and he was the only WCW personality other than Ric Flair and Arn Anderson who wasn't a complete jerk to me. He posed for some pictures, signed a autograph, and seemed genuinely pleased that I was such a fan and that I knew so much about the real business of wrestling.
Putting up with Steve McMichael, "Pep�", and Gene Okerlund on Nitro qualifies Bobby for sainthood.
Is not afraid to look foolish if it means good ratings and giving someone else a push; is a company man, but realizes that WCW isn't the only company. Example:
Tony S: We have a new World's Heavyweight Champion!!
Bobby: (correcting him) We have a new WCW Heavyweight Champion.
Has no "delusions of grandeur" like a certain "living legend."
Is intelligent, articulate and knowledgable when it comes to wrestling (unlike Vince "Oh my, what a maneuver!" McMahon and Dusty "Mushmouth" Rhodes).
Can cause a fellow commentator to break composure and crack up at the drop of a hat.
Is completely honest. Has no trouble bashing both faces and heels (unlike a certain king who shall remain nameless).
Any man who hates Hulk Hogan is alright in my book.
Is one of the only truly INTENTIONALY funny (not like Dusty Rhodes who cracks me up because he is so terrible) and witty wrestling commentators on TV.

Bottom 10 WCW Ploys As Of 1/26/97

by Phil S.

Using a big match to get people to watch that lame Robin Hood show. I'll never forgive them for that one.
Mongo McMichael and his ditsy wife, Debra. He blows scenes left and right by either waiting too long or by sheer stupidity; she's only changed the state on her beauty pageant sash at least three times now.
Hacksaw Duggan. Give him a plane of his own; I don't even hate the guys in number 4 bad enough to make them listen to his "USA!" and "HO!" chants.
(tie) Glacier, Joe Gomez, Alex Wright, Chavo Guerrero Jr. Would someone please load these guys into a Japanese fighter plane destined for a Kamikaze mission?
Sting's "Crow 3" bit. It was nice when it started, and sliding down from the roof of the arena that one night was cool, but come on, figure out an original routine with the baseball bat, already.
Public Enemy's obviously pre-broken tables. You couldn't find worse props on the set of a Hulk Hogan movie. I'm amazed these things even hold people. On Nitro one night, it didn't: Jacques Rougeau kicked the end of the table an it split in the middle, ruining the expected end of the match.
The Kevin Sullivan/Chris Benoit chess angle. Okay, those fights of theirs are great to watch, but the chess references are stupid, especially since we all know neither of them knows the name of that horsey piece. Plus, what about the way the Benoit/Sullivan "pinfalls count anywhere" matches always end up in the one clean, unoccupied restroom in the building.
The return of time-limit draws. You just know it's going to happen when the announcer says, "Only five minutes remaining in this contest!" Has an announcer EVER said that when it wasn't going to end in a draw?
The Amazing French Canadians. Time for these guys to take a geography lesson: the French-speaking people of Quebec have been trying to secede from Canada for, oh, 100 years. They should be carrying Quebec flags with the old Nordique symbol and playing Quebec's song (if they have one).
The nWo. Okay, it was cute at the start and sold T-shirts, but frankly, the whole fifteen-on-one thing's getting old. Don't their opponents have friends? These guys are showing promise of sliding higher in the list fast.

Honorable Mentions:

Tag team matches always ending in referee confusion. Can't we have one decent ending in our lives?
That weenie little referee with the moustache who acts out the script in the background. Makes me wish Nick Patrick were in there.
Lex Luger's torture rack. Someone please tell him that if he turns the guy over so that the opponent's back is on his shoulders instead of the opponent's side, it might look like it actually hurts instead of what it is now: a botched attempt at a fireman's carry.
Light heavyweights. At first, it was cool to see all those high-risk finishing maneuvers. Now, when you see one of these guys get right back up from a powerbomb, you realize how fake wrestling is.

Ten Things that I Am Getting Tired Of

The Laziness of Greg "The Hammer" Valentine - This is the man who beat Tito Santana into oblivion when he dropped the IC strap. Now he stands around in the ring with no facial expression for a few minutes before completing the JOB. Instead of destroying everything that was ever good about Valentine, WCW should do the following with him: WCW should have him join up with Sting and company. Then they should have him slap the jerry curl out of Syxx before applying a 5-minute figure-four like the Hammer I remember.
The nWo - Im one of those few who will actually root for the face. This gang of has-beens and jobbers is really getting on my nerves. I was somewhat interested back in July but I can only take so much of Virgil, IRS, and Scott Norton.
Football players in wrestling trunks - I got a few laughs when "The Fridge" appeared at Wrestlemania II but frankly, I'm sick and tired of the likes of "Mongo" McMichael.
The misuse of the IV Horsemen - What have they done lately? They are not involved in any good angles. I hate to say it but I think the Horseman are just about through.
Debrah McMichael's soliloquies - A famous but unknown poet once said: "Breast implants are to be seen and not heard".
Crooked referees - At least when the WWF did it with Danny Davis, it didn't last this long.
Glacier - My 50 year old father turned to me a couple of Mondays ago and said "Hey, isn't that the guy from that video game". Then my wrestling-ignorant girlfriend said "Yeah, that is the guy that froze me when we played at the movie theater". The point is this: Mortal Kombat and wrestling do not mix.
The continuous jobbing of the younger wrestlers - They should give guys like Chris Jericho and Alex Wright the benefit of the doubt sometimes.
People 35+ ruling the sport - Most of the big names are well over 35: Flair, Anderson, Hogan, Hart, Savage, etc.
The television champion constantly retaining his tittle because of a time limit draw - This crap has been going on since I started following WCW/NWA way back in 1989.

Ten Guys The NWO Should Do A Mudhole Stomp On

by Danny F.

"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan - He can't do anything without help
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan - I carry the WCW flag, HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The Renegade - It's The RENEGADE, what else needs to be said
Dean Malenko - Let's see if he can outwrestle 7 guys at once
Ric Flair - It might stop him from dancing around like a freak
Jeff Jarrett - The Horsemen can't because of Debra M.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund - I wonder if they call his hotline
Disco Inferno - They could hurt his leg so he couldn't dance anymore. Wait, he already can't dance.
"The Living Legend" Larry Zybysko - He runs his mouth way too much
"Lord" Steven Regal - Somebody needs to beat him before his head explodes

Top Ten Jobbers Of All Time

by "The Horseman"

Doink - I've seen this guy lose when there were five of him!
Barry Horowitz - I think Vince McMahon puts it best "He lost thousands and thousands of matches before getting that one elusive win" (from SummerSlam '95) If only he wouldn't have got that one win, he could have competed with Doink for the top spot.
Road Block - This guy gave up to Luger before Luger even racked him!
Virgil - This is a sad story. What started out as a promising future when he beat DiBiase for the Million Dollar Belt his career has faded away, I guess he just got overconfident.
VK Wallstreet - When the NWO needed a jobber they called him, what more do I need to say.
Scott Norton - See #5.
John Tenta - Perhaps the greatest fat jobber of all time, with the exception of Road Block of course.
Disco Inferno - A jobber who can dance!
Renegade - Maybe it would be different if he could sell a move.
Nick Patrick - He lost to a guy with one hand! If only he would stop reffing and start jobbing he could be one of the all-time greats!

The Top Ten Most Annoying Things About Jimmy Hart

by Sam Brady

Voice -- "Mean Gene!" It's like fingernails on a chalkboard!
Jacket -- Would *you* want Jimmy Hart's face on your back?
Megaphone -- I haven't seen an international object this frequently misused since Schwarzenegger started doing comedies.
Hair -- At least Hogan wears a bandana.
Laugh -- I thought it was Woody Woodpecker the first time I heard it.
Goatee -- Oh, wait...I'm thinking of Jim *Neid*hart here.
Legs -- Have you seen him on "Thunder In Paradise"? I didn't ask for this.
Sunglasses -- Then again, have you seen him *without* them?
Kevin Sullivan -- 'Nuff said.
Well, maybe nine is enough. I mean, he's not all *that* bad. In fact, did you know there is One Good Thing About Jimmy Hart?

He's not Jim Cornette. Thank you very much.

Top 10 Ways to Tell Wrestling is Staged

by Steven Raymond

Ever notice how a match is NEVER won during a commercial break, even during live matches when we are not supposed to know what will happen?
Ever notice that titles are never exchanged except during pay-per-views, or one of the Monday night shows?
Yeah, like I am going to sit on the top turnbuckle, stand up with the other guy when he is about to superplex me, and jump off with him.
On those suplexes where the guy doing the suplex holds the other guy in the air, why does the other guy stick straight up? I would throw my weight to one side, and land on my feet.
Ever notice how the guy getting chest chopped never reacts to block it? I always react when I see some drawing a hand or fist, and never just let them do it.
Some moves just don't seem like they would hurt that much, such as the Totrure Rack, STF, Regal Stretch, etc. I put my little cousins in the Totrure Rack, and they think I am giving some demeneted version of a piggyback ride.
There are officials eveywhere during these matches, how do people get away with rulebreaking? No instant replay?
Overdoing of angles. How many times must we watch the same thing over and over and over...? i.e. Regal holding onto the title with time limit draws, Disco Inferno forgetting his move, Benoit-Sullivan matches ending up in bathrooms, etc.
Ever notice that when two or more wrestlers go at it when they are not in the ring, the cops sitting behind them make no effort to stop them? You will see them sitting back there laughing.
What's the purpose of having a manager, anyway? They don't teach you how to do things, they are there to hand foreign objects to you, and they are really annoying to listen to.

The Top Ten Reasons Wrestlers Have to Job and Sell

Believability - There is nothing more aggravating than a guy like Hulk Hogan or the Ultimate Warrior trying to get the crowd to swallow that "I'm impervious to pain" line. One of the reasons wrestling has lost so much respect over the years is because the smart fans got tired of watching people get hit with chairs and then get up and dance around the ring as if it didn't faze them at all (re: Hogan). These guys are only human, and humans feel pain. Period. Especially if they get hit with chairs.
Monotony - We all know how a Undertaker/Hogan/Warrior match ends; they get beat up for a while, the heel hits his signature move and then POW! They (the face) are on their feet! They hit the heel a couple of times, then they hit their move (and no matter how badly executed, the heel sells it). 1-2-3. Yawn. Jobbing helps keep the fans interested; no matter how many times the Giant goes down at the hands of the nWo, he gets a huge pop everytime he goes out because the fans are waiting for him to have his day.
Repetitiveness - Nothing, NOTHING is more boring than a "wrestler cannot be slammed" or a "wrestler is undefeated" angle. Soon, even if the wrestler is a face, you start hoping that he will lose or get slammed. Notice how much more over Mr. Perfect and Tatanka were after they started losing matches, and I personally liked Yokozuna better after he got slammed by Luger.
Respect - If you don't job or sell, no one in the organization will respect you because you are not helping getting people over and thus stagnating the entire crew. Hogan, Dusty Rhodes and Antonio Inoki have very few friends in the business because their egos have prevented them from jobbing and selling like everybody else.
Getting Over - Everyone has to start somewhere: Hogan, Hellwig, Runnels; they all got to where they are today because people were willing to job to get them over. Apparently, somewhere along the way they forgot that.
Economics - Jobbing=Getting People Over=Renewed Fan Interest=High Tickets Sales to Wresting Events, Higher TV Ratings and Merchandise Sales=More Profit=Successful Organization=Higher Salaries=More Talent Coming In=Continued Success.
Loser Complex - People love a loser; look at the huge push the 123 Kid and Barry Horowitz got after they finally won a match against a mid-carder or superstar. And as much as I hate the Disco Inferno, he is one of the most over personalities in wrestling.
Ego Check - Jobbing is a good way to keep a wrestler in line. Whether you agree with his judgment or not, you have to admit that Vince McMahon forcing Hunter Hearst Helmsley to job to Aurielo "Beer Belly" Roberts was a humbling experience, and I doubt HHH will ever break character and go non-kayfabe at a live event again.
Marketability - Hogan was a god when it came to merchandising in the 80's. Now, they couldn't give his shirts away in a crowded Taco Bell with no toliet paper in the restrooms. Why? His no-sell, no-job policy got tedious, and watching a bald, 40-something, steriod-withdrawaled no-talent squash guys who would tear him limb from limb in real life.
The Big Picture - Shawn Michaels started out as a Jobber to the Stars; so did Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Nick Bockwinkel AND Hulk Hogan. And look at them now. What goes around comes around; losing a match now means winning a big match later; just ask Sid Eudy. Jobbing can (and usually does) lead to something better down the road.

Top Ten Worst Potential Future Angles

by B.J.

Arn Anderson jobs to Hacksaw Jim Dug... wait, that already happened.
Hogan is keeping the title until a future match with Sting and/or Flair. Hogan keeps the belt after submitting to both of them.
DDP keeps participating in second-rate matches and does not get a title shot.
Koko B. Ware comes back to take Booker T's place in Harlem Heat.
Lugar V. Hogan. In both of their careers combined, they have used exactly 3/4 of a move (the leg drop of death and the torture rack don't count). The match would consist of them running into each other, cowering in the corner and being counted out by the ref. Nice match.
Bob Probert (the Chicago Blackhawks goon that was interviewed byFlair) and Kevin Greene (Carolina Panthers player) vs. anyone.
Benoit & The Taskmaster fight into the third millenium.
Duggan then does not give the title to Sting.
Duggan runs the table on the Million Dollar Man, Bagwell, Nash and then beats Hogan for the title.
A lame-o quasi-physical encounter between Woman and Debra M.

Top Ten Worst PPVs

by Kevin T.

WCW Uncensored '95 - One word: Renegade
nWo Souled Out - Why did nWo job to WCW on their own dawn PPV? I'm glad I didn't pay money to see this.
1995 Royal Rumble - This was the WWF's most boring PPV. The only good part waswhen Bam Bam Bigelow shoved Lawrence Taylor
1988 Survivor Series - The teams on this PPV were unreal. What the hell was Koko B. Ware doing on Hulk Hogan's team?
Halloween Havoc 1995 - There is no way in hell that anybody can survive a 20-story building and come back and wrestle 20 minutes later.
1996 Starrcade - BORING!!!! In reality, The Giant could whip Luger's ass.
1993 Survivor Series - What the hell was McMahon thinking letting lower competition defend their titles on his PPV?
In Your House 8 - Beware of Dog I and II - No comment!
In Your House 4 - The WWF showed how fake the whole Syracuse incident was when they made Michaels forfeit the Intercontiental title in front of a worldwide audience.
In Your House 9 - International Incident-BORING!!!!

Ten Worst Gimmick Wrestlers

by Joey H.

Hulk Hogan: Jobbed to Yokozuna in the WWF, why continue wrestling? Besides, the guys a walking commercial.
Dave Sullivan: Come on, the guy carried an rabbit!
The Giant: He's not Andre's son.
Sting: This Crow gimmick is the worst!
Yokozuna: Fat, ugly, and has the worst wrestling finisher ever.
Fake Sting: See #4.
Disco Inferno: The horror, the horror.
Road Block: At least he wears a shirt.
"Sgt" Craig Pittman: Gets an manager and jobs worse than ever.
Barry Horowitz: Horowitz jobs, Horowitz jobs.

Top 10 Funniest Things I Have Heard From The nWo

by Steve Raymond

"Who put that table there anyways?"
Kevin Nash when he and Scott Hall were in the commentating booth reviewing the tape of the previous week when Diamond Dallas Page gave Hall the Diamond Cutter after looking like he was joining the nWo. Nash chased DDP, and got thrown over the top rope, and landed on a table, and threw it against a rail.
"You know, that mean's he's lost it 13 times, too."
Ted DiBiase when Mean Gene Okerlund came out introducing the "13-time World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair".
"The nWo is the best wrestling organization today, WCW is 2nd, those Japanese are 3rd, and ECW is 4th."
Scott Hall when the nWo was in the booth taking over a Nitro.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, there are still some rules we must follow, not a lot, but there are still some."
Eric Bischoff when trying to cover Scott Hall's mistake on #3, avoiding possible lawsuit.
"I guess this is where I go help out."
Kevin Nash, when while in the booth, Hogan was in the ring showing off, and the Giant came after him.
"What's with this camera angle, anyways?"
Scott Hall when the nWo took over the booth during a Regal/Benoit match, and Regal got busted open hardway on the forehead real bad, and the camera was trying to hide it as much as possible by zooming out, and whenever possible, avoiding his face.
"Ooooooooooooooooooooo!"
Scott Hall nearly everyday, but the one that really sticks in my mind is the one at the Clash of the Champions, where he was facing Luger, and was mocking his flexing.
"So you're the 'Living Legend'? I thought you'd be bigger."
Scott Hall when he came to ringside on the first hour of a Nitro, going after Larry Zbyszko.
"Don't mess with Zbyszko, he IS the 'Living Legend' you know."
Scott Hall a week after saying #8 while in the booth.
"Last week you were talking about your uncle telling you the two most important things in life were Alabama football, and those guys who dip Skoal and run around and around a racetrack real fast."
Scott Hall when introducing Kyle Petty's nWo Busch Grand National NASCAR.

Honorable Mentions:

"You know, he's a pretty boy, but he is a hardcore redneck."
Kevin Nash when explaining why Marcus "Buff" Bagwell was in the nWo.
This wasn't a phrase, but during the nWo Souled Out, when Buff and Scotty Riggs were fighting, and Bagwell got behind him, grabbed his wrists, and made Riggs clap in the air over his head, that knocked me out of my seat.
"That is the exhaust from the motorcycle."
Ted DiBiase when during Souled Out, when during one of the matches after the Bubba/Hugh Morrus match (the motorcycle one), someone used powder to the eyes, and Dibiase was trying to explain the powder. I think it was the Wallstreet/Jeff Jarrett fight.
"You know, everyday when I see him, he just makes me smile, he really is a nice guy."
Kevin Nash when talking about Hogan, which is said I guess, because I heard that in real life, Nash hates Hogan.

Top 10 Reasons Pro Wrestling Is Better Than NASCAR

by Steve M.

Sycho Sid is a much cooler nickname than Dale "The Old Fart" Earnhardt.
Sunny. 'Nuff said.
Wrestlers don't have to wear sponsors' names on their tights.
Dale Earnhardt has only 7 championships. Jerry Lawler wins the USWA title every other week.
Arn Anderson can beat Kyle Petty in an interview with one lip tied behind his back.
The Honky Tonk Man can sing, dance, wrestle and play guitar. All Bill Elliott does is drive a car.
Lex Luger looks better in tights than Rusty Wallace.
Ricky Rudd doesn't wear faicepaint, but he really should.
Ric Flair is a limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin' son of a gun. Lake Speed has the charisma of a toaster oven.
Wrestlers make their pitstops BEFORE they get to the ring.

Top Ten WWF/WCW Crossover Matches I'd Like To See

by John C. at Jersey City State College

Shawn Michaels vs. Hulk Hogan
I'd pay good money to see Shawn destroy Terry. He would no-sell all of Terry's moves and kick the punk in his aging face.
Shawn Michaels vs. Roddy Piper
This could rival the Bret Hart/Piper match from a few years back.
Bret Hart vs. Randy Savage
Two of the best all-around wrestlers in the sport. This would be one for the ages.
"Sycho" Sid vs. The Giant
This should be in a steel cage so they could be trapped and would have nowhere to go while they beat each other senseless.
Steve Austin vs. Chris Benoit
ECW flashback.
Mankind vs. Kevin Sullivan
Former tag champs in a falls-count-anywhere match.
Ahmed Johnson vs. Lex Luger
This should start with a posing contest.
Dean Malenko vs. Hunter Hearst Helmsley
Malenko would take that dork apart.
Sting vs. Undertaker
This would be scary and different
Fake Razor Ramon and Diesel and Jesse James vs. Jeff Jarrett and the Outsiders

Top Ten Reasons Why nWo Souled Out Was The Worst Pay Per View In The History Of Wrestling

(yes, I'm including Starrcade 94)

How many times must we see the Giant get punked? Hogan was thrashing him a year ago and now he needs help from his cronies. We saw this on Monday nitro 2 or 3 times already. WCW has taken a major step backwards. I can hear Vince McMahon saying checkmate.
I can't believe the entire nWo let Steve "Bongo" McMichael come to the ring and hit an nWo member and threaten Nick Patrick. He should have gotten the biggest mudhole stomping of the night. If they jumped the Giant they could have easily demolished Bongo.
That beauty pageant sucked! Who was the pervert asking the questions? Probably E.B.'s cousin. Nobody cared! I wanted to see wrestling. Unfortunately, the wrestling sucked, too.
The band sucked big time. Once again this is wrestling not MTV. They tried that already.
Sting's Army didn't show up. The presence of WCW's elite was sorely missed. Everybody was expecting something big. The stage set up had to be one of the most expensive of all time. If Ted Turner sees how sucky this ppv was, E.B. might be canned.
No new nWo members showed up. Where was this Chris Chavis (Tatanka), Mr. Perfect, Ultimate Warrior? I think it's safe to say that if you want to see hot wrestling action just stick to Nitro. It's PPV quality. But if you buy the PPV, prepare to get jacked for your dough.
Nick Patrick barely got hit and he's out for 3 minutes. I'm tired of this same gimmick being used. I guess they take us for extreme idiots. Since when can anybody run out from the audience and count a pinfall. Did anyone see the blue band around Randy Anderson's wrist? This signifies that he can be let backstage. What's a WCW ref doing being allowed backstage.
The nWo had a complete lack of control at their own PPV. I wanted to burn my nWo shirt. Who was the moron that booked this? When you're selling NWO shirts like hot cakes you don't job everybody or make them look bad.
The Dallas Cowboys at ringside? Only the NWO would want to be associated with these losers. Once again, nobody cared.
I was watching at a sports bar and you wouldn't believe the silence that permeated the whole room. Chants of "We want Flair" were the only thing that broke the monotony of the whole event. Every body was in total shock as to how much this PPV sucked.

Jeremy's Top Ten Reasons To Watch Professional Wrestling

The Harlem Heat
Pluses: Perhaps the best martial artists not from Asia or an Island in the South Pacific. Will job the tag titles to make the division more intriguing (Public Enemy, American Males, etc.) Best theme music out there.
Minuses: Often let their managers get too involved in their business.
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan
Pluses: The funniest and most intellectual commentator this side of Jesse"The Body" Ventura. I love the way he makes fun of Southerners. Being a resident Oklahoman, I can really appreciate his comments on the Ham-n-Eggers.
Minuses: Jobbed to the Red Rooster at Wrestlemania V.
Jerry "The King" Lawler
Pluses: At house shows, he will really piss the crowd off. Back in September, the WWF came to Oklahoma City. Lawler bad-mouthed the University of Oklahoma's football team after a disgraceful loss to The University of Tulsa. He drew tremendous heat.
Minuses: Jobbed to Aldo Montoya.
Mini-Wrestlers
Pluses: The most energetic and exciting part of any card. When these guys come on it would be a good time to put the VCR on record because you will miss a number of things that you probably wouldn't want to.
Minuses: Their matches are often too short (no pun intended).
Lord Steven Regal
Pluses: This man will raise his hand to hit any overzealous fan sitting along the aisle when he comes to the ring.
Minuses: Always looks like he smells a sewage plant nearby. Remember "The fox smells his own hole first"!
The women of pro-wrestling
Pluses: Sunny, Sable, and Kimberly Page
Minuses: Sister Sherri, Woman, and Bull Nakano
Tito Santana
Pluses: The man would take any tag-team partner(s) under his wing. He has tagged with The Junk Yard Dog, British Bulldogs, and Koko B. Ware just to name a few. One of the few former football players who really made a smooth transition into pro-wrestling. Excellent worker.
Minuses: Actually joined the AWF.
The cruiserweight division in WCW
Pluses: Superb display of acrobatic and athletic prowess. Also a good time to set the VCR on record.
Minuses: Not enough cruiserweight tag matches. They should have an 8 team, double elimination tag tournament.
Diamond Dallas Page
Pluses: Took it to the nWo before the nWo took it to him. The man is really married to The Diamond Doll.
Minuses: Got dumped for Prince (Johnny B. Badd).
Arn Anderson/Ric Flair
Pluses: Will do anything to improve the status of wrestling. The ideal team players. These two are definite lifers. They are also the examples that younger wrestlers should follow.
Minuses: Never holding the tag belts together. If Flair could wrestle again, I would love to see this happen.

10 Worst Outfits In The WCW

by Jeremy L.

Jushin "Thunder" Liger -- it's Ultraman!!!
Ciclope -- how does he see through that mask?
J.L. -- Power Ranger wanna-be
Ultimate Dragon -- more like the Creature from the Black Lagoon
Super Calo -- a mummy in grunge clothes...how original
La Parka -- is he supposed to look intimidating?

Kevin Nash (red Outsiders) -- put make-up on and he's the stilt man

Top Ten Things I Keep Hoping Will Happen On Nitro

by Brad P.

Syxx grabs himself in the crotch once too often and injures himself. This causes him to leave the WCW in shame and go back to the WWF where the gimmick he is given is "The Kid With The Really High Voice".
nWo turns on Hogan, beats the living snot out of him.
Ric Flair stops having dancing fits, beats people up.
Arn DDTs any of the following people: Mongo, Mrs. Mongo, Hacksaw, Jarrett, any NWO member, Bischoff, Robin Hood, Little John (Sorry, nix the last two, bad ratings ploy flashback)
Sting finally pledges his allegience...to ECW!!! Brings in his two new friends: Taz and the Sandman!!!
Lex racks a big fat jobber (Lord knows we can't get sick of that) ;)
The Woman/Sullivan/Benoit angle comes to an end when Woman tells them both she really in love with Dusty Rhodes. The two of them leave wrestling for good to raise goats in Canada.
All members of Teddy Long's stable are banned from wrestling for life.
A "Jarrett Sucks" chant starts. Oh, yeah, that's right, it's already happened.
Three words: "No More Glacier"!!!

Top Ten Things I Want To See In Wrestling

by Russell T. at William Penn College

Ted Turner sneak up behind Hogan when Hogan's showing the Pythons and hit him with a table.
Vince McMahon crash Nitro and smack Eric around.
Woman vs Kevin Sullivan -- Woman dominates the whole match with impressive moves and wins with Sting's inverted DDT.
Hogan rip one on Live TV after eating a bunch of burritos and the mic catches it.
Mongo hitting himself with the briefcase.
Jeff Jarret slipping and falling while trying to do the Flair Strut and then gets pinned by a jobber.
Arn Anderson taking a beer from someone in the crowd while trying to work out Horsemen problems and drinking it.
Ric Flair beating the bejezus out of Jarrett and Hogan at the same time and pinning them both at the same time.
Rocco Rock poking Johnny Grunge in the eye while they're trying to dance.
Hall/Nash beating up a hotdog vendor cause he doesn't sell soda and then finding out that bendor was Ted Turner, Jr.

Top Ten People I Don't Want To See Back In Mainstream Wrestling

Evad/Dave Sullivan: Would you claim him as your brother? He was the epitome of that which sucked in WCW. If you don't believe me see Starrcade 94.
Dean/Shane Douglas: I guess he flunked out of the WWF. He didn't make the grade.
Bob Backlund: He's okay as an annoying manager, but every time I saw him wrestle I just wanted to know one thing: Where's Aunt Bea?
Excluding Bret and Owen, any of the Hart family: That fiasco at the Survivor Series was the most boring wrestling match I have ever seen. Do you still wonder why they don't show amatuer wrestling on TV much?
The Gunn Brothers: Are they still in the WWF? I hate to be harsh but I was hoping that they both would have done a stretcher job on Raw. Note of Interest: If Billy Gunn was so hot for Sunny, his wife should have done a run in and squashed him, then he would have done a legitimate strecher job.
The Nation of Regurgitation: I'm painfully waiting for this angle to go away. I'm black and even I'm offended.
Larry Zbyszko: Please for that which controls WCW, don't let him wrestle on TV, only house shows in the Midwest. Although I might want to see The nWo punk him like they did Giant, Piper, and the Macho Man.
Any Old Fart with a Beer Belly: (see #1,#3, and #7) Also check out Bad News Brown, Dusty Rhodes, and Bastion Booger.
Kevin Sullivan: Does any one out there believe that Kevin Sullivan still squashes guys? I mean he is the booker in WCW. Talk about misuse of power. That Devil gimmick is the most tasteless of all gimmicks.
Jake "The Snake" Roberts: He's just too nice. His DDT used to be the prototype for all DDT's. (Sorry If I offended any Double A fans, but when you thought DDT in the 80's you thought Jake the Snake.)

Top Ten Wrestling Diatribes/Lines of All Time

by Chris J. Delanoy at University of Alberta

Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's all-time greatest: "Sometimes I amaze even myself. I feel like I have TWO brilliant minds."
Jesse "The Body" Ventura's all-time greatest: "Win if you can. Lose if you must. But ALWAYS cheat."
Brain: "I once had a guy give up during instruction."
No list would be complete without a jibe at Duggan:
Schiavone: Well, Duggan is at a disadvantage in this type of match.
Brain: He's at a disadvantage when he wakes up.
Brain: "We'll see some Greco-Roman knuckle sandwhiches in this match."
During the Bret Hart/Yokozuna match at Wrestlemania IX:
Crowd: USA! USA! USA!
Macho: No, they're saying USA is what they're saying.
Brain: See how bright they are? One guy's from Canada and the other guy's from Japan.
Hulk Hogan's famous confusion of `hanging' and `banging': "I've hung, and I've bung..."
Brain: You don't have to yell at me. I'm not blind!
During a plug for the WWF's 1-900 hotline:
Gorilla: Kids, ask your parent's permission before calling.
Brain: And if they don't give you permission, just take a baseball bat, sneak up behind them, and BAM!
During the Midget match at Wrestlemania III:
Ventura: I'm hoping to see Bundy put the big kabosh on one of these little guys.
Gorilla: Oh, come on.
Uecker: You're kidding me.
Gorilla: What a sadist.
Ventura: They'll have to bring Aunt Jemima's spatula out for them.

The Top Ten Stars Or Mid-Carders Who Should Be Jobbing

Jerry "The Burger King" Lawler: This guy is a joke personified!
Ultimate Warrior: I don't see much difference between him and Renegade.
Doink: I wanted to see him in a squash match so bad!
Rocky Maivia: The Brooklyn Brawler has more technical expertise than he does.
The Red Rooster: Wait a minute, he is a jobber. Sorry, I forgot!
Hillbilly Jim: Hogan clone with the big boot to the face. Couldn't he get his own finisher?
Big John Studd: Man, was he slow or what?! I never saw he win a match or hold a title. I guess the Yeti/Big Ron Studd is following in his mentor's footsteps.
Ivan Putski: His muscles got him over, other than that he sucked!
Terry Garvin: He just looked like he couldn't fight. At the end of his career, he had a beer belly.
Lord Steven Regal: He has good mat skills and wrestling knowledge, but without the Belfast Bruiser he's painful to watch. I cut my VCR off whenever he wrestles.

Top Ten Wrestling Holds Or Manuevers That Just Don't Cut It Any More

The Pulled Punch To The Head: The Hulkster has made this famous!
The Sleeper Hold: It really works, but you can tell it's fake when it works too fast (i.e. Piper vs. Hogan at Starrcade). Who was the last person (besides Hogan) to fall asleep and lose a non-squash as a result of a sleeper? Think about it!
Tombstone Piledriver: Most times the victim's head never touches the mat. It looks good at the arena, but it sucks on TV.
Atomic Knee Drop: It may hurt a little, but heels sell this move way too much!
The Claw: Thank goodness nobody uses this move any more!
The Figure-Four Leg Lock: If you've ever been in this move you know that it really hurts, but wrestlers fail to apply intense pressure on their opponent, so they just reverse it. What a waste of a move.
The Roddy Piper One Minute Delayed Eye Poke: Are these wrestlers really that slow? Didn't they watch the Three Stooges?
A Choke Slam on a wrestler over four hundred lbs.: You get the guy one centimeter in the air and he's supposed to be hurt when he hits the mat. Yet when he gets bodyslammed he's not that hurt. P.S. : The 400+ lb. wrestler jumps one cm. in the air.
A Missed Dropkick: Don't you still have to hit the mat when you connect with a dropkick? Why does it hurt so much when you miss? Okay, maybe you have a bruised ego, but that's it.
90% of Glacier's Moves: I'm really being nice about the percentage. I saw him in person twice and I must say for a live show Nitro does a good job filtering out the boos. When he misses his kicks, as a punishment his opponents shouldn't fall down. They should just stand there and laugh at him.

So now that Wallstreet and Norton are in the "not so exclusive" nWo, here is the next ten

by Brad P.

Doink "you just can't keep a good clown down"
Fatu "the Samoan Headshrinker making a difference in Iran"
Razor Ramon II and Diesel II
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan
Lord Alfred Hayes
The Yeti (what the hell was that any way!?!?!)
Syxx (oh, I forgot he's already in!!!)
Disco Inferno (maybe he can teach Hulk Hogan to dance, Lord knows Hogan can't act)
The Bushwhackers
Jim "Juice" Powers

Top Ten Wrestlers That Should Have Never Been Allowed Near a Pay Per View (With the exception of battle royals)

Hulk Hogan - For years wrestling fans have shelled out $30 to see the same Hogan main event every time. Did anyone really think he would job to Sgt. Slaughter at Wrestlemania VII? The whole fiasco with Yokozuna at Wrestlemania IX was pathetic. Bret Hart loses in a screw-job. Fine. No problem. But, of course, Chump Hogan comes to reclaim the title in 30 seconds. If I were Bret Hart I would be pissed-off at Vince forever for having to be involved in that nonsense.
Col Mustafa - I have no problem with the Iron Sheik. In fact, I think he rules. But, I am talking about Col. Mustafa. The Iron Sheik is from Iran so how could he pretend to be an officer for Iran's worst enemy?
General Adnan - First of all, the Gulf War was over 6 months before his appearance at Summerslam 91. 2) He is a manager for crying out loud! 3) I guess this match was designed for the Immortal Slime (Hulk Hogan) and the Ultimate Puke (Warrior) to put the final nail in the coffin of the Iraqis and the Triangle of Terror.
Special Delivery Jones - We only had to see him getting squashed by Bundy for 9 seconds, but back in those days, jobbers belonged on Superstars and Wrestling Challenge and not on PPV.
The Orient Express - Their match with Duggan/Volkoff was a complete waste of time and people's hard earned money.
Corporal Kirschner - The flag match with Volkoff was a joke.
Boris Zukhov - I would rather have seen Nikolai Volkoff lose to the Hart Foundation by himself in 10 seconds at Wrestlemania VI.
Skinner - He fought Bret Hart in 1991 at a pay per view titled: "Tuesday in Texas". What a waste of $14.
Sam Houston
Barry Horowitz - I don't think that he even belongs on Raw, let alone Summerslam.

Top 10 Worst Wrestling Nicknames

by Jeff F. from Salisbury, NC

The Colossal Kongs - Awesome and King. One looked like Marge Schott and the other looked like Schotzie.
Mr. J.L. - J.L. must stand for jobber lust.
Scott "Flash" Norton - I've seen more flash from a penlight.
911 - This 1994 Rookie of the Year's number has been disconnected.
Hakushi - Gesundheit!
Haku - See #5
The Blue Blazer - He couldn't work at Century 21, they wear yellow ones!
The Red Rooster - Terry Taylor looked like Wilma Flintstone.
Mr. Wrestling - Boy, how original can you get?
Battle Cat - Where's He-Man and Skeletor?

Ten Most Pointless and Meaningless Feuds of the Last Five Years (Give or Take a Year)

TIE - Any feud involving "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan - We have had to sit through this nonsense for damn near ten years now. From Hacksaw vs. Bad News Brown in 1989 to Duggan vs. Porkozuna in 1993 to Hacksaw's nauseating fueds with Big Bubba, M. Wallstreet, and The Blue Bloods during his WCW days, he has been nothing more than a buffoon. His USA chants are annoying and offensive, especially against Wallstreet who hails from Syracuse, New York, if I'm not mistaken. And lets not forget his pathetic arsenal of moves: a few clotheslines, a taped fist to the head (why does tape hurt so bad?) and then maybe another clothesline. Wow!!
The Red Rooster vs. The Brooklyn Brawler - Boy!!! This feud basically sucked. Dragging the immortal Bobby "The Brain" Heenan into it was uncalled for and the fact that Steve Lombardi was actually involved in any type of feud also make me wonder what Vince was thinking.
Harvey Wippleman vs. The Fink - Okay, this was one of those funny little feuds and I actually liked it at first. But, seeing The Fink with no shirt on made all of those fuzzy memories disappear in a hurry.
Nikolai Volkoff vs. Boris Zukhov - Possibly the worst feud generated from a tag team split in the history of professional wrestling this side of Fire and Ice. The split of the Rockers, Strike Force, The Dream Team, and even the Smoking Gunns generated much better singles matches.
Yokozuna vs. Vader - Basically your run of the mill feud with the major heel turning face to job to the Federation's new monster. YAWN!!
Rad Radford vs. Skip - Give me a break
Barry Horowitz vs Skip - See #6
Bam Bam Bigelow vs. Bastion Booger - Two big fat guys, only one having power and agility (Bigelow), doing nothing but making the ring setup crew sweat.
Big Bubba vs. John Tenta - Two big fat guys with neither power nor agility filling up a useless 15-20 minutes on pay per view.
Undertaker vs. Million Dollar Corporation - Basically, this one would not be so bad. But, it lasted from Summerslam 1994 to Summerslam 1995 and that is just way too long.

Top Ten Events That Almost Always Happen In Matches

(This is a list of tricks used by the wrestlers and the bookers to make a match more interesting) by Timothy Joyce at Northern Illinois University

The Desperation Tag: A wrestler (almost always a face) is getting destroyed by an opponent(s). Despite numerous attempts, the beaten man cannot make a tag, mainly because a) the referee doesn't "see" the tag, or b) the referee is so busy keeping the beaten man's partner out the ring that he cannot "see" the doubleteaming by the heels. Suddenly, usually the result of a missed move by the opponent, the beaten man makes the all-important "desperation" tag. Of course, the "fresh man" comes in and cleans house. (Note: Despite the fact that the beaten wrestler is almost too weak to make the tag, he always seems to have enough energy to climb back into the ring and help his partner after only a couple seconds of rest.)
The No-Sell: Although this particular phenomenon is usually associated with Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker and the Ultimate Warrior, other wrestlers have used this device as well. Some examples: Sting no-selling Ric Flair's suplex or reverse knife edges; two big men (like the British Bulldog and Vader) trying unsuccessfully to knock each other off their feet.
The Sign: This particular device has fallen from popular use in recent years; it is simply something a wrestler does to signal that he is about to his signature move. Some wrestlers like Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett still use the sign, but most wrestlers avoid it.
The Comeback: This is similar to the Desperation Tag, but involves a one-on-one match with one wrestler (a heel) having the advantage over another wrestler (a face) until the face makes his "comeback" and goes on to (usually) win the match. The most "famous comebacker" is Hulk Hogan, and almost all face wrestlers have used this device at one time or another.
Interference: The most ridiculous of all the devices, this one involves a heel manager either a) distracting the referee with the heel does some dirtywork (and sometimes handing them a international object) or b) getting physically involved in the match. The best interferer in the business was (in my opinion) Bobby "the Brain" Heenan, since no one before or since has come close to matching his techinique.
Trashtalk: This is usually the best part of wrestling or the worst. This involves a wrestler talking about (in a interview) a opponent or upcoming match or event and how he is going to win, destroy his opponent and win or go after a title. The success of this device hinges on execution. Unfortunately, a good wrestler is not always a good trashtalker or an interviewee. Hulk Hogan, for all of his many, many, many, many faults, is probably one of the most charismatic trashtalkers in the business. Another good trashtalker is Arn Anderson, who usually takes the quiet, serious approach to interviewing.
The Internal Struggle: Rich vs. poor, urban vs. rural, black vs. white, good vs. evil; we have seen all of these scenarios enacted in the wrestling ring. Although this device tends to be one-sided (the rich or smart wrestler is almost always the bad guy), it was the basis for the early success of the WWF and Hulk Hogan.
Looks: Rarely is a good-looking wrestler a heel (Shawn Michaels was an early exception to this rule). Faces are called faces for that reason; they look like (usually) the clean-cut, all-American Boy next door, and the promoters market them as such. This gimmick can get tired fast, so the promoters have to give these faces a quick push before they lose their momentum. Along that same line, heels are almost always fat, "ugly" (by the world's status) or freaks of nature (giants, the walking dead, etc.)
The Piper Syndrome: We've seen it all before, a wrestler (usually some sort of superstar, former champ or legend) goes away for awhile, comes back the organization with no intention to wrestle again (usually becomming a commentator on one of the house shows) and almost immediately gets into a feud with another wrestler, forcing him to come out of retirement and fight one last time. This can last for one match, or can (and usually does) lead to the wrestler going after and winning some sort of heavyweight title (usually world). Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage and of course Roddy Piper are some of the wrestlers who have done this. (Editor's Note: Larry Zbyszko is about to do this.)
The Reign of Terror: Either one wrestler or a group of wrestlers (usually the latter) is causing trouble in a organization, and no one sees to be able to stop him or them. Then here comes a wrestler (either a newcomer or an established returning superstar) who steps up to the plate and one by one vanquishes all the foes (sometimes he invites some mid-cards or has-beens to help him out). The wrestler gets a huge push and is declared the new "leader" of the organization and usually becomes the champion of the world. The nWo is an example of a reign of terror which will end as soon as Bischoff finds a suitable wrestler to be the "leader."

The Top Ten Fattest (not heaviest, but fattest) Wrestlers

Adorable Adrian Adonis - His 300 pounds of pure fat is bad enough but those pink tights were 200 times worse
Yokozuna (Porkozuna)
Tom Stone - Another famous jobber ala "Iron" Mike Sharpe in the 1980's
Brian Knobbs/Jerry Saggs/Johnny Grunge/Rocco Rock - Four-way tie
Mankind/Cactus Jack Manson
"Playboy" Buddy Rose
Rusty Brooks
Jake "The Snake" Roberts (the 1996 version)
Nikolai Volkoff
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan

Honorable Mention: Fatu - The Arabian Headshrinker making a difference

The Top Ten Most Racist Gimmicks In Wrestling

The Doctor of Style (Slickster) - The hair, the clothes, and lets not forget the Jive Soul Bro theme song
Reverend Slick - Every good African-American is a preacher
Death Row - A big fat jobber that had a short stint in W.C.W about five years ago - of course he wore a prisoner's outfit
Bad News Brown -The Harlem Ghetto Blaster
Kamala - the African savage
Virgil - the big black bodyguard that never cracks a smile
Sapphire - giving The American Dream Dusty Rhodes some soul
Johnny B. Badd - Little Richard?
The Junkyard Dog - we all remember that pimp-daddy music
Pappa Shango - a voodoo man

Editor's Note: These are specific gimmicks which supercede the all-encompassing "All black people have very hard heads rule". Wrestling did away with this long-standing racist gimmick around four or five years ago. And, of course, don't ever forget Akeem, the African Dream.

The Top Ten Worst Ideas Vince McMahon, Jr. Ever Had

The Super Bowl of Wrestling on Monday Night Raw, complete with penalty flags.
Flash Funk: between this fool, Ahmed "Mush Mouth" Johnson, Marc "Tricked by Mr. Perfect" Mero, Farooq "Louis Farrakhan is looking for you and he ain't happy" Assad, Vince has cornered the market on racial stereotypes: a pimp, an ex-football player from the ghetto with an extremely hard head, a pretty boy (shades of Prince) and a ticked-off violent vigiliante . Next, the tag team duo of Amos and Andy, with the Kingfish as their manager!
In Your House: an obvious attempt to copy WCW's Clash of the Champions, but on pay-per-view. Vince must need another Mercedes.
Doink. A wrestling clown. Okay.
The Genius. Vince, you should be ashamed.
Adrian Adoins. Ditto
Golddust. Three strikes and you're out, Vince (so to speak).
Roddy Piper's "Comebacks": Have you noticed that Piper has had "one more fight left in him" since Wrestlemania III? Come on, Vince, give us a little more credit than that.
Sgt. Slaughter: First a bad guy, then a good guy, then a REALLY bad guy, then a good guy, then HEAD OF SECURITY??!!?? Even a mark would have a hard time swallowing THAT one.
Hulk Hogan versus the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania VI: never, never, never, NEVER have two fan-favorites in a headline match, Vince, because everyone gets screwed. And just when I thought you have learned your lesson the first time, you go and have Bret Hart versus Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania XII. You just don't get it, do you Vince?

Top Ten Worst Ideas Eric Bischoff Ever Had

Nick Bockwinkel as WCW Comissioner. That lasted about three seconds.
WCW Uncensored. Keep trying, Eric.
Hulk Hogan on Baywatch. The Aging No Talent Object meets The Unexplainably Popular Yet Insipid Force.
Having WCW officials throw trash at Hogan. It's messy, unnecessary, and dangerous. Besides, it is obivious that Hogan has more fans now that he did as a face, which is going to make it all the more difficult for Eric to get out of this corner he has painted himself into (referring of course to the nWo angle).
Bringing back ALL of Hogan's old (and I do mean OLD) enemies from the WWF to "fight" him. Deja vu, huh Eric? Tell me, did it take you long to decide that exhuming Andre the Giant's corspe and placing him in a match against Hogan at Halloween Havoc was probably a bad idea?
Telling us that Paul Wight was Andre the Giant's son. Yeah, right. And while we're at it, we all know that Woman and Kevin Sullivan are married, and so are Diamond Dallas Page and The Diamond Doll, so drop the act already!
Disco Inferno. Please make the hurting stop.
Mr. Wonderful Paul Orndorff consulting the Psychic Friends Network because he keeps losing his matches. Cross-promotion doesn't always work.
Pretending that Paul Wight had fallen to his death at Halloween Havoc. It was in VERY bad taste, and I am disappointed to see that almost no one else in the wrestling world has called Eric out on this laspe of judgment.
Colonel Rob Parker. I'd prefer Jim Cornette to this sputtering idiot. Please, drop this character now, or at least get him to stop wearing that French Legionnaire's uniform. Please.
