The Battlebowls were a creation of Dusty Rhodes and that particular pay-per-view wasn't the best. But at the same time it served its purpose in setting up the Sting/Lex Luger match that wasn't ready to go on at that particular moment. And since I didn't mention enough different Starrcades, let's go with: Starrcade 1989 which had the Ironman Tournament and some great matches such as the Road Warriors against the Steiner Brothers and Ric Flair vs. Sting. Starrcade 1992 had Battlebowl but it also had a great Sting/Big Van Vader match for the King of Cable Trophy and Shane Douglas and Ricky Steamboat defeating Barry Windham and Flyin' Brian in a pretty good match. Starrcade 1993 goes without saying in my opinion. Ric Flair versus Big Van Vader for the WCW World title with Harley Race in Vader's corner and Ric Flair's career on the line in his "hometown." It also had a very good Steve Austin/Dustin Rhodes 2 out of 3 falls match and a very good Lord Steven Regal/Ricky Steamboat match that went to a draw. Starrcade 1995 was the WCW/NJPW joint pay-per-view. There were some pretty decent matches there IIRC. Back in the day I thought that the Piper/Hogan match at Starrcade 1996 was enjoyable but I enjoy the nostalgia. Also, for the ones who get upset because the title was not on the line, Piper's interviews state that he was just coming to beat Hogan. He stated that he didn't represent WCW or anything of the sort. So it makes sense that it was a non title match. Starrcade 1998 was major because it gave Bill Goldberg his first loss in the ring. People can argue about who he lost to or how but it was pretty special regardless.

Ric Flair/Harley Race at the first Starrcade. Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood/Briscos at first Starrcade. Roddy Piper/Greg Valentine in a Dog Collar match at the first Starrcade. Ric Flair/Dusty Rhodes at the next two Starrcades. The Ric Flair/Nikita Koloff match was originally scheduled to be Ric Flair/Magnum T.A. until Magnum got injured in the car accident. Midnight Express vs. Original Midnight Express in 1988. Need I go on?

Just have to say that I enjoyed the wardrobe malfunction by Mickie James.

I may have been the only person rooting and wishing for Jerry Lawler to win tonight. When Michael Cole stopped him and The Miz was climbing the ladder I was rooting for CM Punk to jump into the ring and even up the odds by stopping The Miz from climbing the ladder. And I popped hard when Lawler punched Michael Cole!

It will be the return of Charlie Brown From Outta Town. He is Cena's friend who is upset that Cena was wrongly removed from the company. Wade Barrett and The Nexus will do their best to prove that Charlie Brown is actually Cena wearing a Halloween Mask. When The Nexus actually unmasks him it will be revealed to be Brad Armstrong and the wrong Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown will defeat Wade Barrett in a match where John Cena gets reinstated if Charlie Brown wins and he must unmask if he loses.

Mae Young! BRILLIANT!

The end of the Jacksonville/Houston game was just absolutely amazing. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Hail Mary pass actually work!

I thought the same thing. Sabu is the perfect and most logical replacement. Or maybe Rhino since they had that feud at the end of ECW and the fight at the original One Night Stand.

Aside from Tommy Dreamer versus Raven, have any specific matches been given out for Hardcore Justice?

I have to admit that the camera angles on Madison last night were absolutely great.

I'll still be here even if I will miss Raven! There's always the option to bring him back, you know.

Good to see you back, Nevermore! The Godfather of ECW has made his return!

I am sure that this has been brought up before but I am really enjoying the WWE's partnership with youtube. I don't get Smackdown with the certain channels I have and it's great to be able to watch the full show on youtube.

I gotta say it, obviously you've never heard the American Males theme song in WCW or 'The Man Called Sting.' Definitely worse entrance music than that. Oh and the old Paul Orndorff music back in WCW. 'Wonderful, they call him Mr. Wonderful because he is so wonderful and they know it's true.' Absolutely dreadful.

So who won the ME?

Can anyone be nice enough to put up results and major happenings here for those of us college students who cannot afford the ppv? Please?

I can understand where you're coming from but what you mention there could definitely be interesting. I would love to see Wade Barrett and The Nexus come out toward the end of the match and just destroy the combatants that are still standing. Then have Wade Barrett take the briefcase down and hold it up surrounded by The Nexus. I think that would be a great way to further the angle.

The rules of the Money In The Bank ladder match is the 1st person to climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase is the winner and gets the title shot, right? What is to stop someone else from running in from the back and going after the title? I think that would make for something interesting and new for the new pay-per-view.

Since this is a video game thread and Legend of Zelda has come up, I just have to share this with everyone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx_GossODwg Enjoy!

Well, at least I might get to see Kelly Kelly, The Big Show and Christian when I go to a Smackdown house show next week.

Now, we just need to get a Wide Receiver to complement Smitty. I don't see a Golden Tate dropping to us. Maybe a Mardy Gilyard or a Jacoby Ford?

Jimmy Clausen has been touted to be the most NFL-ready QB in the draft. Pair that with the fact that John Fox is close friends with Charlie Weis and I see him having inside information on Clausen. Now, it is a possibility for Fox to lose his job after this season. That would mean that Clausen is the brand new QB for Bill Cowher.

Sorry for the double post but YES! Clausen to the Panthers! Absolutely amazing!

Who would have thought we'd be this far in the draft and Jimmy Clausen and Colt McCoy are still available?

I would love to see my Panthers somehow trade up into the first round and get Jimmy Clausen. But we don't really have anything to trade up with that I'm willing to give. Maybe either Williams or Stewart. But I would hate to lose either of those guys.
