Last nights Clash of Champions was a real mixed bag. It was just more of WWE being a slap dashed product.

Did anyone watch All Out.

Roman Reigns had to forfeit his title tonight, due to him having leukemia. He's in my thoughts and prayers

Jim The Anvil Neidhart has died.
Nattie just wrestled last night and this is what her morning is. Losing her father.

Rest easy Anvil.

He was fun to watch. May he Rest In Peace

Also R.I.P. to Brickhouse Brown, who was an 80s and 90s wrestler. I barely remember him in the N.W.A. in the early to mid 80s but I do remember the name.

[DevilSpawn]

R.I.P. Brian Lawler aka "Grand Master Sexay". He died today at the age of 46, apparently of suicide

Also Nikolai Volkoff passed away today

Double yikes! R.I.P. to both.

Austin broke all of the pay per view records, all the merchandise records, and that includes Hogan... Hogan may be one of the worst wrestlers ever.... Steve was a decent wrestler. Go back and watch some of those Steamboat vs Austin in WCW matches. Go back and watch a lot of those matches with Brett. Owen, and many others, and you'll see a decent wrestler. Austin was pretty darn stellar with a mic himself. Injuries definitely hurt his career, but his run as Stone Cold remains unmatched as ratings, and merchandise, and just overall popularity is concerned.

I agree that Hogan was a horrible wrestler. "Stunning" Steve Austin had a # of quality matches, but when he got to the WWF(E) he abandoned his wrestling skills. Yes he was outstanding on the mic, but he had a ton more help breaking records than Hogan ever did. "Stone Cold" got to work with HOFers in: HHH, The Rock, The Undertaker, Bret & Owen Hart, Vince McMahon, etc. Hogan's greatest rival was "Macho Man/King". The rest of his rivals lacked a lot in the ring. Earthquake lacked everything, as did: Zeus, Bundy, Andre, Sid, etc. It wasn't until Hogan left for WCW that he got some quality opponents, and that was long after Hogan put wrestling on the map. Don't forget that the NWO did record business, too

"Stone Cold" couldn't wrestle and didn't have the longevity to be among the greatest. Hogan put wrestling on the global map, Angle was the best wrestler, The Rock was the best on the mic, etc. Austin had a lot of help during the War, with the likes of: HHH, Undertaker, Rock, Mick Foley, etc.

For my $, HBK was the greatest all-around performer. He could talk, wrestle, brawl, and fly.

Flair was awesome, and had the longevity but Austin is the greatest to ever do it! Austin changed the game like no other. He brought the Raw and the WWF back from the depths when WCW ruled the world.

I saw Flair in the 80s. Actually he was my favorite singles wrestler during his career. Only Sting and Jake Roberts came close but at the end of the day, Flair is #1 all time in my book as a solo wrestler. The only wrestlers I liked far better were the Road Warriors, who were the reason I started watching wrestling back in July 1983.

I will give Cena a lot of credit, he has improved and I think he gets more flack than he deserves. I've enjoyed his matches the last couple years more than his entire career combined. As for Flair, I enjoy a 1993 match just as much as a 1983 match. He just told a better story for a MUCH longer period. I like Cena a lot more now, but he shouldn't have had that record with Flair. I would've given it to the Undertaker if anyone, especially now that he no longer has a streak. It doesn't really bother me, and I get it that Cena has been the flagship for a while, but I just don't think he deserves to be in a legendary class with Flair. I will say though that nobody's presence works a crowd more than Cena... although Roman Reigns is coming close lol.

Seen this from way back and had to get in on it. Flair could work a crowd better then ANYONE! And his LONGEVITY was 2nd to none! In a business that known for casualties, it is AMAZING that he Wrestled in FIVE DIFFERENT DECADES!!! He started back in the 70s!!!!! And NO ONE could give a better interview then him. SO FUNNY!

Has anyone seen the recent 30 for 30 special on Ric? AMAZING! I had no idea he partied/drank so much!!! To do this for so many years, and be able to do what he did, will never again be matched. With good reason.

I am even more pumped to see Andre the Giants Documentary on HBO next month!

The first 2 inductees into the HOF have been announced (according to Wikipedia.) They are Goldberg and the Dudley Boys

[InsaneBlaze23]

Supposedly tonight on Raw they'll announce plans for Rollins, whom is expected to be out 8 weeks.

The creator, Hideo Itami will be returning to NXT soon. If he wasn't injured so often he'd probably be on the main roster by now.
