  1. Honeslty I disagree on Randy. He's had almost exactly as much time as a "top guy" as Cena has had. He's even recently had jesus pushes as both a heel "Legacy" and as a face The Viper. Heck wasn't it last year he was Stone Cold Randy Orton. As a matter of fact didn't he face CM Punk and beat him last year at Wrestlemania. Randy has had as much time in the spotlight as anyone. Multiple time world champion, multiple Wrestlemania's, etc. The very fact that Randy was facing Kane was a joke. This Wrestlemania was odd there was virtually no interesting build up for any but the three big matches. Randy has had several odd match ups at Wrestlemania but none the less he's been there. Randy to me just never does it, he pops the crowd but he's never gotten to the level he should be at. The guy is a third generation superstar, good looking guy, still youngish. I agree that wrestling fans are obsessed about age for some reason. Always have been. I'd like to point out Ric Flair was Triple H's age when he beat VADER for the title. How many people complained then that he was too old and should be passing the torch to the younger guys? Hogan was passed HHH's age when he started doing Hollywood Hogan and that turned in CRAZY huge business for them. Hall and Nash were 37 and 38 when they started the nWo. Chris Jericho was 42 when he wrestled CM Punk last night and he's only a year younger than Triple H. My point is I could go on and on forever. As long as these guys can go out there and do what they do every night and lets face it these guys are better athletes in their 40's than most people are in their 20's. Age shouldn't be an issue. Pro Wrestling operates under such micro time lines. Think about it the original Hulkamania lasted essentially from WM1-6. Thats roughly a six year time period. The nWo was hot for about 2 years. The attitude was hot for roughly what five years? The things that spark and get wrestling going hot only last for a couple of years. If a guy is 42 and he gets white hot for three years he's still only 45. And as I just pointed out three years is an eternity in the wrestling world. Wrestlemania III had 90,000 fans (kayfabe) Wrestlemania VII was forced to move locations because it wasn't seeling. So four Wrestlemania's later they can't put half that many people in the arena. Time moves very quickly in pro wrestling and so therefore if the guys are a bit older whats it matter as long as they can stick around and be healthy for a good three to four years tops then I'm all for it.
  2. Koloff vs. Flair, Garvin vs. Flair, two Battlebowls, Hogan vs. Piper without the title on the line. Nuff Said
  3. Starrcade was always hyped as their Wrestlemania but they never presented it that way. Exactly how many times did Starrcade have the biggest match of the year or the biggest storyline of the year? Usually it was just filled with gimmicks like the triangle match and the tag team crap, etc.
  4. I bet he uses PS thats what the guys on EWB use but a tutorial would be neat.
