    Gonna have to put her on my list, along with Rick Martel, of talent that needs to be in the HoF.
    No, she's not. When Wendi Richter was inducted Kai immediately came to mind. She's been inducted into the PWHF in Wichita Falls, TX and NWA Hall of Fame though.

      Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

      Finished 1st half of 1999. June was a rather weird month altogether.

      -Higher power reveal
      -The mysterious briefcase movement (I still think Bossman made the only logical sense, especially given that he re-joined the Corporate Ministry the next night AND Austin made a similar stipulation in his title match on Raw)
      -Beaver Cleavage competing in the ring, then "shoot" promo and turning into Chaz
      -Austin winning the WWF title on Raw
      -Billy Gunn as KOTR
      -GTV

      I know Russo went to WCW in September, but was he "phoning it in" or did other things happen backstage around this time?


      Also, everyone knows the Edge spear on Jeff Hardy at WM17, but I found this one to be an underrated one that happened 2 years earlier. Funny enough, Edges spears during other matches weren't so good around this time (it looked more like a tackle than a spear).

        Russo wasn’t even going to WCW at this time.

          lol, so stuff just didn't make sense by accident?


          Anyways, I'm entering the time of the Wrestlemania 2000 roster. That was the first WWF video game I ever owned (WCW Nitro being the first overall). I never watched Nitro, but got the video game because someone was selling it for next to nothing at a garage sale (guess they were tuning out of WCW in 99). I didn't even watch wrestling at the time I got WM2000, but I still loved playing it.

          Hardys were one of the guys I remembered most when I first got the game. Their 5 second looped theme song, and I liked their gear back then too.

          It's cool to finally be watching parts that the first WWF game I played was based off of. I remember in the early days, I had no idea about many of those characters. Chaz? Scott Taylor? And didn't know about guys gimmicks either like Prince Albert, so watching fills in these gaps. I never unlocked HBK though (could never get past the rumble), but did unlock everyone else.

            Stuff didn’t make sense all the time. Before, during, and after Russo. Happened on the other channel all the time too. I encourage you to revisit the end of Starrcade 96 and 97.

              Watched the Legends Battle Royal from '87 and the main thing that stood out to me were the pre and post interviews w/ some of the participants. Common thread was the risky and aerial moves the current wrestlers were doing.

                  Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread

                  So, I've always hated the "continue watching" section of The Network. Only because I swear I'd watch **** all the way through but for whatever reason it'd say I stopped with like 30 minutes left or something like that.

                  So I've been doing the whole WWE watch through thing. I tried this about a year ago but took a break and forgot where I left off. Because of that, I decided to start over sometime before KotR '96. A couple nights ago I got back to right before No Way Out 2000. I needed a break from the bull**** snoozefest of the McMahon-Helmsley era so decided to just clear my "continue watching" list. Lo and ****ing behold, I find where I left off a year ago; right before No Way Out 2001 lol.

                  It's amazing the changes of one year. Kurt is solidified as a main eventer as opposed to hunting for the European championship. ****ing no more Val Venis or Godfather because they joined the worst faction ever. No DX, no NOA (NOA should have never ever been broken up). Jericho is pretty much in the same place. Like, same exact place; as a mid almost upper carder as IC champ. Big Show is so fat,now. Rikishi has gone from fan favorite to being a bad *** team with Haku. Taker is back as ABA Taker teaming with Kane. E&C are dbags (lol) now as opposed to quiet fan favorites. Dudleys went through DV counseling and are no longer power bombing chics through tables. They're still denying The Rock of his title. SCSA is back and I think I like this Austin a little more than 99 SCSA. McMahon is back*.


                  *WWE needs to stop the GM and authority ****. Only McMahon and maybe Shane did it right. Stephanie and HHH flat out suck at it. They're like the friend that has the answer for every power you used to have as kids. They talk too damn much and hardly ever take meaningful Ls.

                  Well, there's my rant.





                  Wait wait wait.... They're also super hyping the XFL too [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

                    Did Rock/HHH have other cage matches? I've always had memories of watching a Rock/HHH cage match as one of the first matches I've seen. Don't know if this was the match I saw(either when it happened, or just as a highlight later on). Rock being suspended was another early moment I had watching wrestling, but I know that didn't come until after WM17.

                        The WWE Chronicle with Samoa Joe was excellent. Joe could be the best promo in the company right now, and obviously his ring work is still top-notch.

                          That first blood match was so risky and I'm surprised it worked out. Both Austin and Undertaker were bleeding at earlier parts of the show. They're so lucky neither guy accidentally started bleeding during that match as any shot could've busted them open again. Though you could see parts of match where they were staying away from the head and actually covering up to avoid head shots.

                          Before this point(summer 99), I don't think I've seen guys bleeding much. Now it's happening multiple times a show.

                          And one cool shot from those Raws:

                              I believe the countdown clock fast forwarded at bit the day he actually debuted. I don’t think it went the full time. Could be wrong.
