Little Jap with a mask with horns on it is the greates areial
wrestler of all time, and BTW he had the gimmick for years before
coming to WCW.

I agree!! Having all the STARS and the best angle in wrestling
makes WCW clearly superior.

As I said in a post I made several days ago. There is nowwhere for this
angle to go but down. How long can EB have the invaders beat the actuall

you've gotta to give it to him, he is Dustin Rhodes after all), Steve
Austin, British Bulldog, Ahmed Johnson, let us not forget, Bret Hart.

Besides, the only guy I saw with horns tonight was a medium sized Mexican,
and a damn talented one at that!

But it's things like little Japs with horns on them that turns a few people
off from this whole Japan or Lucha thing in the first place. I liked
Psicosis/Misterio the first time around when it was in ECW, but TTYTT I never
really was turned on by Psicosis' costume.

What the hell color is the sky in your world? The WWF is beginning to atrophy big time, and even though WCW has some stiffs like Du=
ggan and Bubba, they make up for it with all the other great grapplers. Face it: McMahon is a stubborn fuck who will not change bec=
ause he became powerful using a certain method and he is too pigheaded to believe that anything else will work. Unfortunately, that=
will be his undoing.

Hogan. Savage. Flair. Who are the other has beens?

Name anyone in the WWF who is better then Chris Benoit. Or Rey Misterio,
Jr. Or Eddy Guerrero.

Try stale talent and I'd agree with you.

You truly are ignorant.

What? You don't like that WCW has done an angle that is better than any
your precious WWF has ever done?

The only thing I can say about this thread is that a lot of people are
kidding themselves. WCW has better talent and more of it. They have
the hottest angle on the planet. People have not reacted to a heel
turn like Hogans since I was a kid. People were throwing stuff into
the ring and some fan (may have been a work) charged the ring. This
is only the beginning fo this angle, and if you cannot see the
possibilities, then there is no way that I can explain them to you.

Right now, the WWF has a thin talent pool with the majority of their
talent being new and not yet over. None of their angles are drawing
any serious heat and RAW is getting stomped in the ratings. The WWF
may not be over, but people are right to be concerned.

This is a minor thing, but I noticed that WCW spelled the names
*Psychosis* and *Mysterio* tonight. I always thought they were
spelled as JS typed above. What gives?

Why would they? If they can wrestle and give the fans a good show, as
Liger and the luchadores can, what does it matter what one is wearing?

The Mexican tradition of the masked warrior or masked bandit goes back to
the Aztecs. You can't equate its significance in lucha with the
non-significance of masks (cf. "Who") in American wrestling.

Plus, it's Psicosis's wrestling ability and moves that turn me on. Unlike
the Mexican fans, I for one could care less about the type of mask he
wears; it's how he performs that is important IMHO.

How about guys like Eddy Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Sting, Steven Regal, Rey
Misterio Jr, Psicosis, Arn Anderson, Bobby Eaton, Rick Steiner, Scott
Steiner, The Barbarian, Disco Inferno, Alex Wright, etc.

He is really good. Too bad he's not nearly as entertaining as a face as

Hasn't been nearly as good since he joined the WWF. He's alright.

His persona is cool but his wrestling _sucks_.

He's adequate.

Good but why is he jobbing to Savio Vega? Much, MUCH more entertaining

Not bad with the right opponent.

Has he learned to sell a move yet?

Actually, we can. He isn't with the WWF right now.

I'll give you these names you can add to the list of good wrestlers in the
WWF. Skip, Lance Cassidy, Justin Hawk Bradshaw, Billy Gunn, HHH, Marc
Mero. And that's about it. Oh, and maybe Brian F'n Pillman once he
recovers from his injuries.

is a bid guy, but what language does this guy speak???
You say Malenko is boring, He would destroy Owen Hart, what has he done
lately??? How pathetic he carries aroung that stupid trophey!!!

I'm a big WWF fan and I've been watching the WCW for 3 years and Hulk
Hogan turning heel is the best thing I've seen since the Ultimate
Warrior beat Hulk Hogan. I would like to see Yoko join the WCW cause I
would like to see what he could do to all those small wrestlers in the
WCW like Sting. I think with the Hogan turning heel thing the WCW is
better for now but we will see how long that lasts.

The last thing WCW needs, but still may get, is Yoko and Mabel. They'e
overstocked with heels now and everyone rumored to be coming in (Yoko,
Mabel, DiBiase as an announcer, Jarrett, Bigelow) are all heels.

Jushing Thunder Liger is way more exciting than any wrestler that you and
your limited imagination could name. The WWF is facing a very stiff
challenge from WCW right now and could be reeling from these recent
events for a long time. Chris Benoit is probably the next most exciting
wrestler after Liger, K. Mutoh and Hayabusa(the latter two average 6'1"
and are legit heavyweights) and he's aligned with WCW. Unless the WWF
can drastically improve on the tag-team situation as well as the quality
of their mid-card matches, WCW will be the organization that is more watched.
Please, get a clue. Bye for now.

Kevin Sullivan, Jim Duggan, The Rock n' Roll Express, Greg Valentine,
The Road Warriors (or are they gone now?), Meng, John Tenta, Big
Bubba, Bobby Eaton... I probably missed a couple.

OTOH, I could count on the fingers of one hand the WWF wrestlers who
I'd call has-beens. (Roberts, Lawler, Backlund, and the occasionally
active Piper). WCW does have an impressive cadre of young wrestlers,
but the average age in the WWF is still younger.

Shawn Michaels, the Hart brothers, Marty Jannety, Steve Austin, Hunter
Hearst Helmsley, Marc Mero, Leif Cassidy... all of these guys are in
the same ballpark as Benoit and Guerrero; who I'd call "better" tends
to vary from week to week.

You know, I don't want to start another tirade about brainwashing, not
getting respect, or whatever, but is an avowed Ultimate Warrior fan
really in a position to be criticising goofy-looking costumes?
