I don't see how you can write Raw around Braun for months, have him close Survivor Series with Triple H, and make him the killing machine in this match and NOT pit him against Brock at WrestleMania. No one else is worthy. Add him to the match.

HOLY GRAIL FOUND: After more than a decade, I finally tracked down the missing Crockett episodes from late 83-early 84. Steamboat retires, Piper leaves for the WWF and Dick Slater wins the US title from Greg Valentine. Footage coming soon... Thanks

The vast majority of WCW Saturday Night 1992 is now on the network.
Seriously, if you haven't seen this stuff it's worth going out of your way. Arguably the best in-ring year WCW had before the Nitro era.

Almost poetic that it stops working as soon as I finish WrestleMania 9.
Of all the streaming platforms I have encountered in my travels, its was the most ... human. *insert Taps* 🎺😔🙏
Very sad to hear about the Anvil's passing. The Hart Foundation was a cornerstone of 80s tag team wrestling. The Bulldogs, Bees, Demolition, Brain Busters. They could have a great match with any team on the roster.

Who did Power & Glory piss off? They're at the top of the tag division and then they're essentially gone a few months later. 2 guys that I would have loved to have seen Hasbros of, too.
