Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart wasn't an unification match though was it? I don't have ability to watch youtube at the moment, but I thought it was just to win the other title, not merge them together.

Triple H was pretty damn specific both belts would be hanging above the ring and I don't think they've said there'll only be one belt, just that there'll be only one champion.Shawn Michaels vs. Owen Hart was an unification match though was it?

I guess this is going to be made clear before the match and/or when they decide.
Random as hell but will ultimate warror be in the rumble
While doing interviews around the time of the WWE2k14 reveal he was pretty adamant about not not wanting to get back in the ring. He seemed sincere, but he might just be trying to drive up the payday.Originally Posted by slightconfuse

Personally, I'm more interested to see if Jake shows up.
I was doing a count of how deep down the barrel WWE would have to go to get 30 people in the Rumble, and I was at over 40 from just people who are on their four weekly taped TV shows. I wouldn't blame them if they wanted to put Jake the Snake in there instead of Camacho, but they don't have to.
Edit: Lesnar #30, Punk or Bryan wins, no one would remember anything about what old star returns weren't in the Rumble.

I know I am late to this party but I just found out Michaels has a hunting show on the Outdoor network.
Having Goldust throw out his brother will be the way they book the Rhodes Brothers explodes! angle.
I wonder which NXT guy will get to be in the Rumble and then go back to NXT a month later.
I wish they ran a rumble with 0 joke entrants for once.I was doing a count of how deep down the barrel WWE would have to go to get 30 people in the Rumble, and I was at over 40 from just people who are on their four weekly taped TV shows.

They have enough guys on the current roster + guys who can make a triumphant return at the Rumble that will actually be around for a bit to do it.
I had no idea Bo Dallas' actual gimmick, before he essentially turned into his bad qualities turned up to 11, was supposed to be a "fiery Southerner". Jesus, his old entrance music.
The argument for a comedy character being in can be made though. We all still remember when Santino almost remembered it, or a Bushwhacker run all the way in and out.
I also think it's a great way to give one credibility. They can be silly or a joke, but they can prove themselves in the ring and really get something done so that future matches don't have to be such jokes because we remember what they did in the Rumble.
No announcers, no celebrities, no individuals who clearly can't do anything at all any more (Brawler, Khali, etc), and no managers though. I wish they would never put anyone who isn't a wrestler and is at least believable that they could at least eliminate someone else.

Ah, but just imagine if they took a huge risk and let Sami Zayn win. Oh it would be terrible from a "the average fan has no idea who this is" perspective and counter to the whole idea of just building an easily guessed feud of modern Rumble, but it would certainty be something no one would expect and far above 123 Kid moment.I wonder which NXT guy will get to be in the Rumble and then go back to NXT a month later.
My favorite Rumble moment ever is a comedy bit. King leaves in mid sentence, is tossed out in three seconds, comes back and finishes the sentence.
I just wish it wasn't completely obvious who was winning the Rumble. I was actually glad when Alberto won cause I didn't see it coming. Sheamus was a bit of a surprise too.Originally Posted by darkside31337

I really hope Daniel Bryan doesn't win this year. I love Bryan but he doesn't need to win the Rumble to get in the main event spot. Much like Cena didn't need to win. Give it to someone else.

Hell No. Bryan wouldn't be where he is now without that win. Also, I expect Zayn or Neville to get in the rumble this year.Originally Posted by slightconfuse

Nope. Right now he is the favorite with the rumors of him vs Orton at WrestleMania. Also, his contract is up next Summer. Got to get that push soon to keep him happy so he will come back. They need him more than he needs them. I still think he has another 3 year left in him before he is done.Has Punk ever won?.
Will he do a shoot promo on himself in July, setting up CM Punk vs CM Punk Multiverse Match at Summerslam on the 20th anniversary of Taker vs Taker?Originally Posted by somedevil

You guys remember this random Punk/Bryan Smackdown match?
The indie scene really misses Super Dragon and his no nonsense approach to beating the shit out of people in the ring. I miss Super DragonI really don't know, but I'd love to see more of that in western wrestling - WWE really lacks any veteran threats. That's why they need Angle back. Not as a regular, just as the kick ass professional wrestler who shows up occasionally to put some young punk in their place.
Comparatively, in Japan there's a huge list of veteran dudes who, when some younger wrestler tries to hit a stiff forearm or something, the crowd has that awesome "oh, shit just got real..." reaction. The only time that's going to happen in WWE is when someone tries to go toe to toe with Bork.
They had like 2 matches after elimination chamber and before WrestleMania to promote the Teddy vs People Power wrestlemania match :/. Then they had there feud starting at over the limit and ended at money in the bank in 2012. Since they haven't had a single match.You guys remember this random Punk/Bryan Smackdown match?
I remember there was a tease of a match between the two of the them and the crowd wanted it compared to no reaction of Orton vs Cena.

WCW Starrcade 12/19/99
Amazing, the tape opens with spoilers on the main event and a promo for Souled Out. I mean, granted, by the time people rented the tape, they surely knew the results. But maybe they hadn't or were from an area where they didn't get to see Nitro or something. Those people probably don't want to see the main event spoiled for them.
Disco Inferno/Lash LeRoux vs The Mamalukes
This is a strange angle. Disco has a gambling problem. To make up for his debts, he bet Evan Karagias $25K in their match at Mayhem. He lost. That part wasn't mentioned again. But Tony Mamaluke shows up. He's either Disco's bookie or the son of his bookie/a mafia don. It's not really clearly explained. He has his boys come after Disco, but they're both borderline retarded and can't do anything right. Suddenly, Lash starts helping Disco after multiple weeks of Lash attacking Disco even when Disco beat him clean and put him over. Now they're best bros. Anyway, Disco gets his ass kicked for a while. Do you think Vito was naturally that shiny, or if he put baby oil on his face and head? The faces make a come back. JTB slips doing his run up leg drop. He also missed the leg drop. Disco hit a frog splash! Vito broke the pin with a flying elbow. Disco inadvertently hit the Last Dance on Lash. Vito hit the spinning DDT for the win. Disco is put in a body bag and carried off. Once they took him to the back, they took him out of the bag and threw him in a car trunk.
Brain is wearing sunglasses. He must be loaded. Scott Hall has a knee injury and has forfeited his title to Chris Benoit. What's really shitty is that WCW knew as early as Thunder that Hall wouldn't be competing, but still went ahead and advertised the match. Benoit comes out. He doesn't want to get a title like that. To him, the title is vacant and he issues an open challenge for a title ladder match.
Evan Karagias vs Madusa WCW Cruiserweight Championship
Madusa and Evan broke up. There was no angle or anything. One show, Evan was now with Spice and that was that. They have a nice 3 minute match. Madusa did a powerbomb. Kind of. Spice distracted Evan. Madusa hits him in the back and Spice did one of the worst low blows of all time. Madusa wins with a German suplex. Madusa and Spice leave together. SWERVE! New champion!
TO THE BACK. Gene talks to Norman. Norman ain't scared of mother fucking Meng. He was scared of the producer counting him down and may have shit himself.
Meng vs Norman Smiley WCW Hardcore Championship
Meng is throwing SURGE containers around. They head to the back. Now they're in catering. The fucking red levels back stage looks like Kane's lair or something. Meng no sells a fire extinguisher. Norman dives through a curtain. Knobs and Finlay show up to attack Meng. Another wall of cardboard boxes. Wait a minute, I think these boxes are guitar boxes. That would make SO much sense considering Jeff goes through 8 a show. Finlay knocks Meng out with a pipe. Norman pins Meng with one hand and runs away. Meng puts Nick Patrick in the Tongan Death Grip. Title retained.
TO THE BACK. David Flair gets a gift. It's a gold plated crowbar. Elsewhere, Oklahoma gets Dr. Death pumped up. He left the locker room and was abducted by The Misfits. Elsewhere elsewhere, Tenay tries to get Duggan's mystery partners out of him. It's a mystery for a reason, slap ass.
The Revolution vs Jim Duggan/The Varsity Club
That's right. The Varsity Club. Kevin Sullivan, Mike Rotunda, and Rick Steiner. A stable last seen 10 years ago. Nothing sadder than 40 year olds (50 for Sullivan) still dressing in letterman jackets. Sullivan looks like he's not even wearing pants. His legs are still jacked, though. Duggan wrestled the whole match by himself. Tree of Keanu to Asya! Then the Club turns on Duggan. SWERVE! Shane Douglas gets in the ring and pins Duggan. Duggan will now have to renounce his citizenship tomorrow on Nitro. Not even 5 minutes for an 8 person tag.
TO THE BACK. Gene talks with The Misfits. Oklahoma is in the shark cage WCW has at all times.
Dr. Death vs Vampiro
If Vamp wins, he gets 5 minutes with OK. Vamp jumps off the shark cage. OK is still doing commentary. Doc hit some gnarly chops. Huge belly to belly superplex that saw Doc nearly drop Vamp right at the start of. Doc knocks the shit out of the Misfits. Despite all of them getting involved, the ref doesn't call for the bell. He calls for the bell when Dr. Death shoves the ref. That means Vampiro gets 5 minutes with Oklahoma!
Vampiro vs Oklahoma
Security escorted Dr. Death out. The 5 minutes started well before OK was let out of the cage. DDT from Oklahoma! Oklahoma stomp! Oklahoma hit a few low blows when Vamp got back into it. Rock Bottom! The Misfits get in the ring and attack OK. I guess this is no DQ. Vamp wins with the Nail in the Coffin. I think The Misfits try even harder than ICP.
TO THE POWERS THAT BE. Hennig asks Russo for advice on their match. Russo was distracted because something big is happening tonight.
TO THE BACK. Tenay tries to stir the shit between Harlem Heat and Midnight. Stevie doesn't like that fruit booty squacking YAK. Stevie won't watch Booker's back tonight.
Creative Control/Curt Hennig vs Harlem Heat/Midnight
The winning team will get a tag title shot. Fans are booing the shit out of something. Nothing was going on in the ring, but the fans booed for 2 minutes straight. Stevie didn't participate in the match. It sucked. Of course. At least Perfect didn't sexually assault Midnight again. Booker was pinned after cheating shenanigans. The Harris Brothers look like the Engineer from Prometheus.
TO THE BACK. Tenay talks with Dustin Rhodes. Jeff attacks and I guess the match has started.
Dustin Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett Bunkhouse Brawl
Body slam into a wheel barrow. We get to the ring. Dustin uses a stick or something. Cow bells! Dustin throws some coke in Jeff's face. He then whips Jeff and ties the ref up in the corner. Jeff hits a low blow. Curt Hennig comes out. He lets the ref loose while Jeff is using a stick of some kind. Sleeper. Dustin hits a Boss Man Slam. Hennig breaks up the pin. Shattered Dreams. Hennig pulls the ref out of the ring. He also got his dreams shattered. Jeff wins with a guitar shot from half way up a ladder.
TO THE BACK. David plays with his new crowbar. Elsewhere, Gene talks to DDP. DDP still does the Triad gimmick stuff, but the Triad isn't a thing any more.
DDP vs David Flair Crowbar On A Pole Match
David comes out of the crowd and hits DDP in the ribs with the crowbar while DDP is in the corner. The ref says DDP can't continue and David will win via forfeit. DDP throws Penzer and gets in the ring. They have an actual match which Davd actually dominates for the first few minutes. Figure four! This isn't the kind of pole match where the rules are basically the same as a ladder match. This is the kind where the first person to get the crowbar can use it. David got it, but then turned right into a Kanyon Cutter. BANG! DDP wins. Avalanche Kanyon Cutter. BANG! DDP was about to hit David with the crowbar when a fan ran in and covered his body. It was Daffney Unger, who sent in a tape a few weeks ago saying she wanted to host a Nitro Party and that she was a big fan of David.
The Total Package vs Sting
Liz's contract with Lex will be voided if Sting wins. As Sting and Liz headed to the ring, Sting had her switch out pepper spray cans. They have a short match. Sting and Liz ping ponged Lex. Then Liz got in the ring to check on Lex. She tried to pepper spray Sting, but it was just silly string. SWERVE! I think this is the first time Sting actually outsmarted the heel trying to SWERVE him. Sting put Lex in the Death Lock. Liz came back out with a bat. Sting let it go. When he put the hold back on, Liz hit him in the face with the bat, causing a DQ. After the match, Sting's arm was Pillmanized.
Sid vs Kevin Nash Powerbomb Match
Nash immediately dominates Sid. Lariatooo. Nash low blows out of a powerbomb. Nash tries one on the outside. Sid's back is bleeding. Body slam from Sid. Ref bump. Sid does a powerbomb about as good as Madusa's. Jeff Jarrett comes out and hits Sid with a guitar. He cleans up the mess. Nash tells the ref that he hit the powerbomb and is declared the winner. Nash actually thought about doing the move, but his back hurt, so he just told the ref he did it instead. I can't believe that Sid wasn't allowed to get anything over on Nash for this entire feud. Not a single time has it not ended with Nash either physically dominating Sid or out smarting him.
TO THE BACK. Tenay talks to Benoit who is heading to the ring for his mystery ladder match.
Jeff Jarrett vs Chris Benoit WCW US Championship Ladder Match
Jeff is the one to accept the challenge. Superplex. Benoit gets the ladder. Jeff baseball slides it into him. Benoit's face is all busted open already. They trade Irish whips into the ladder. Jeff then crotches Benoit and does a Russian leg sweep from the top with Benoit's leg in the ladder. Benoit puts Jarrett in a tree of Keanu on the ladder. Jeff tips it over. Benoit's head went straight into the bottom rope. They brawl at the top of the ladder. Benoit falls, but then dumps Jeff off. Jeff responds by pushing the ladder over while Benoit is on it. Benoit does the same thing, with Jeff going balls first onto the top rope. As Benoit touches the belt, Jeff missile drop kicks the ladder, sending Benoit flying. He's taken so many big bumps from ladders and cages in the past 3 months. Benoit has his hand on the belt and does a diving headbutt instead. Benoit grabs the title. Title retained.
TO THE BACK. Bret tells Tenay that he's walking out as champion.
Bret Hart vs Goldberg WCW Championship No Disqualification
Bret comes out first, which is unacceptable for the champion to come out first in the main event of the biggest show of the year. Bret out wrestles Goldberg. A stiff shoulder block sends Bret down. Press slam to powerslam. 2 short arm lariatooos. Rolling knee bar from Goldberg is countered into the Sharpshooter. Goldberg shoves it off. Bret is limping. He seemed to hurt himself on the press slam. Maybe it's another groin pull the likes of which you've never seen. Ref bump on the floor. A new one was out immediately. Big boot. Another ref bump. Bret dodges the spear in the corner and does the figure four around the ring post. I think Bret gave himself a concussion applying the move. He immediately grabbed his head once he let go and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He also might have hurt his lower back. Figure four. Another ref bump. Goldberg does the kick that basically ended Bret's career. It didn't actually look that bad. Spear. There is no ref to count since 3 have been bumped. A very somber Roddy Piper comes out. Bret applies the Sharpshooter and Piper RINGS THE FUCKING BELL. Piper walks off with the title. Bret follows him out. Piper gives Bret the title near the entrance. To drive the point home, Hudson yells out "IT'S JUST LIKE MONTREAL ALL OVER AGAIN!". Title retained.
DQ Count: 2 out of 13 matches.
The final PPV of this project. Benoit/Jarrett was definitely the match of the night. As for Goldberg injuring Bret, I think Bret was concussed well before the kick, but the kick just compounded the injury. I also think he probably had another groin pull from a slam and appeared to have injured his lower back at the same time as his head while applying the ring post figure four. It was just a bad night for Bret in general. We got another Montreal knock off. It almost seems fitting that Bret would get a myriad of injuries in his only PPV WCW Championship defense. It just makes sense considering the rest of his WCW run. Scott Hall came back from an injury after nearly 8 months only to get injured about a month and a half later. He'd return to action shortly after, then get injured again in February, and was released before he could return to the ring. Despite this, his match with Benoit was still advertised even though WCW knew he wouldn't be working the show.
In general, it was a typical cluster fuck of a WCW PPV. Madusa wins the Cruiserweight title after Spice SWERVES Evan. I assume Spice/Madusa set the SWERVE up from the start, but I'm sure it won't be explained. Duggan brings back the Varsity Club. They SWERVE him. Liz SWERVES Sting, but Sting was actually SWERVING her. She still cost him the match. Roddy Piper came out and redid the Screwjob finish, but he was sad when he did it, so it wasn't really a SWERVE. Maybe. Kevin Nash won a powerbomb match by telling the ref he did a powerbomb. Benoit continues to destroy his body with huge bumps even though he knows he's trying to get out of his contract.

Bret comes out first, which is unacceptable for the champion to come out first in the main event of the biggest show of the year. Bret out wrestles Goldberg. A stiff shoulder block sends Bret down. Press slam to powerslam. 2 short arm lariatooos. Rolling knee bar from Goldberg is countered into the Sharpshooter. Goldberg shoves it off. Bret is limping. He seemed to hurt himself on the press slam. Maybe it's another groin pull the likes of which you've never seen. Ref bump on the floor. A new one was out immediately. Big boot. Another ref bump. Bret dodges the spear in the corner and does the figure four around the ring post. I think Bret gave himself a concussion applying the move. He immediately grabbed his head once he let go and looked to be in quite a bit of pain. He also might have hurt his lower back. Figure four. Another ref bump. Goldberg does the kick that basically ended Bret's career. It didn't actually look that bad. Spear. There is no ref to count since 3 have been bumped. A very somber Roddy Piper comes out. Bret applies the Sharpshooter and Piper RINGS THE FUCKING BELL. Piper walks off with the title. Bret follows him out. Piper gives Bret the title near the entrance. To drive the point home, Hudson yells out "IT'S JUST LIKE MONTREAL ALL OVER AGAIN!". Title retained.
DQ Count: 2 out of 13 matches.
The final PPV of this project. Benoit/Jarrett was definitely the match of the night. As for Goldberg injuring Bret, I think Bret was concussed well before the kick, but the kick just compounded the injury. I also think he probably had another groin pull from a slam and appeared to have injured his lower back at the same time as his head while applying the ring post figure four. It was just a bad night for Bret in general. We got another Montreal knock off. It almost seems fitting that Bret would get a myriad of injuries in his only PPV WCW Championship defense. It just makes sense considering the rest of his WCW run. Scott Hall came back from an injury after nearly 8 months only to get injured about a month and a half later. He'd return to action shortly after, then get injured again in February, and was released before he could return to the ring. Despite this, his match with Benoit was still advertised even though WCW knew he wouldn't be working the show.
In general, it was a typical cluster fuck of a WCW PPV. Madusa wins the Cruiserweight title after Spice SWERVES Evan. I assume Spice/Madusa set the SWERVE up from the start, but I'm sure it won't be explained. Duggan brings back the Varsity Club. They SWERVE him. Liz SWERVES Sting, but Sting was actually SWERVING her. She still cost him the match. Roddy Piper came out and redid the Screwjob finish, but he was sad when he did it, so it wasn't really a SWERVE. Maybe. Kevin Nash won a powerbomb match by telling the ref he did a powerbomb. Benoit continues to destroy his body with huge bumps even though he knows he's trying to get out of his contract.
Outside of Punk/Lesnar at Summerslam, Bryan/Cena at Summerslam, and Punk/Undertaker at Wrestlemania, I totally have to agree. Not sure why more people aren't talking about how great a match Zayn and Neville put on. It was on "holy shit!" levels for me. Both men put in tremendous performances.Originally Posted by Rafa=FedKilla
Not enough respect for this match. That crazy Canadian has been apart of two match of the year candidates for The E. Nothing on the main shows or PPVs cancompare...
Vampiro's Misftis look was the only time Vampiro ever looked cool
It was a fantastic match but I think Cesaro/Zayn was better than this one with Bryan/Cena being my WWE MOTY.Outside of Punk/Lesnar at Summerslam, Bryan/Cena at Summerslam, and Punk/Undertaker at Wrestlemania, I totally have to agree.

1. Punk/Lesnar
2. Bryan/Cena
3. Cesaro/Zayn
4. Zayn/Neville
5. Punk/Undertaker
I suppose this doesn't totally match up with my previous post, but this is how I feel about it. :)
Everyone seems to forget the Bryan vs Cesaro classic.

edit: Also Bryan vs Orton on Raw when he made him tap clean was great as well.
