I agree, people always put this on their worst matches list. I think it was perfectly fine. Of course, it wasn’t as good as it should have been. But I liked it. The entrances,Mike Tyson, Austin getting his first title. I don’t think it belongs on this list at all

World War 3: Favorite memory is one I didn't learn of until listening to an interview with Regal. The 1995 WW3 Battle Royal. Pre-"Squire" Dave Taylor is in the match. Hogan grabs him, and Dave kicks Hogan with a perfect kick to the gut, then NAILS The Hulkster with a European Uppercut so good you see it knock some cobwebs loose in Hogan's head... like he hadn't been hit that stiff in North America since joining Vince Jr. Hogan staggers away, and it's.... it's just beautiful.

Austin/Michaels at WrestleMania 14 was never going to be what it could have been as Shawn had a broken back that was making his drug addiction even worse and Austin had a broken neck. Both men said they tore it up on the house show loop in 1996 and they had a great match at KOTR in 1997 as well, had both men been healthy in 1998 then their WrestleMania 14 match would have been a classic.

[@mycahjofficial]

While Rock and had Cena some phenomenal back-and-forth verbal exchanges with each other from 2011 to 2013 but once they decided to have a rematch at ‘Mania 29, it ultimately killed my interest for the rivalry. It makes it worse that WWE blatantly lied to our faces with a whole “once in a lifetime” marketing nonsense from the previous year. Plus, The Rock made it clear on an interview a few years after that the whole plan was to extend his feud with Cena from ‘Mania 27-29 all along. To make matters worse, CM Punk was also robbed of his WrestleMania main event. People can say what they want about Punk but one thing nobody can deny is that he definitely deserved to main event ‘Mania 29.

Cena v Punk could and should have been a main event at WM at some point cause they could have absolutely delivered

I don't see videos talking about how he was having trouble dealing with getting older, how he wasn't in the right state of mind (even for the Macho Man) the drinking /drugs and partying he was doing with women half his age, the politics that led to his abrupt title loss and his inevitable blow up with Russo, that led to his run in WCW coming to an end.

Craziest part about the Marufuji/Ibushi match is that as early as a week before, Ibushi was openly discussing in interviews how badly he was hurt and videos of him limping into the venue were shared around. How NOAH didnt call an audible and at least have the world title main event over this or even cut the match from 35 minutes to 15 or 10, I have no idea. The match sent alot of unfair criticism towards Marufuji too (one of the most infulential and innovative wrestlers of the 21st century) but at least Marufuji has drowned that out with great match after great match and including the match with Styles.

On top of that, THEY DIDN'T NEED THE BELT for that match. What's its hype? MMA fighters!!!! In WWE!!! Who cares if they're fighting for a gimmick belt or not? SOMEONE MIGHT DIE IN THE RING!!!! Buy our show! That's what you're selling. Brock never needs a belt, HE is the attraction. Just like the rock in today's wwe, walking around with his made up "People's belt" or whatever it's called. It's a gimmick that he doesn't need, that makes him look like he's trying to be something he's not (ie an ACTUAL champion), and to be honest, it's something he has to carry around/chance it gets lost/stolen/whatever.

I disagree, if only because I think 2002 Sting and Undertaker could have had a worthwhile feud and match. Of course this means Sting heading to WWF/E and not TNA and that wasn't happening but if it had, it would have been worth it and 2002 (besides just them both being in better condition) was much closer to WCW having existed, that'd also make it mean more to than WCW having been gone for well over a decade and the whole thing was two broken down men, trading on nostalgia alone.

I can remember getting the first WWA ppv on a ripped DVD. I remember I was just hoping for an alternative that was actually worth watching, one that brought me back to staying up WAYYYYY past my bedtime at my cousin's house to watch the original ECW on MSG network and being blown away. Having grown up a Golden Era kid I never saw anything like it. I think the biggest issue with WWA is that none of the roster, especially the main guys, seemed fully committed to success of the company. Everyone seemed to have something going on in the background. You can't tell me Jarrett wasn't in the planning stages of TNA or that Steiner wasn't always gonna follow the money. The idea of 70 shows a year sounds fun on paper but in reality wrestling is a gone and your forgotten type of business (unless you make a big impact). I think a lot of cards would have had to have fallen in the right spots in order for it to be a success. Instead it feels like a handful of midcard reunion shows with no real direction or attempt for the future
