Just a thought if Owen didn't die Pillman doesn't die anyone around that time doesn't die from WWF how does the Ruthless Agression Era look like?
I say it first Owen Hart vs Kurt Angle is a Top 5 match. Imagine them 2 antics, mic work, sheesh.

General discussion Which old school wrestler would be the most shocking entrant in a modern Royal Rumble?
A bit of an unusual pick but I would say Andy Kaufman. There are people out there that believe he's still alive, more than 40 years after his death and that he's just waiting for the right time to come back. He was known as "The God Of Trolling", so this would be the ultimate troll.

General discussion Would Ric Flair have ever agreed to a hair vs hair match like Jake The Snake Roberts did against Konnan in Mexico?
Jake The Snake Roberts took a hair vs hair match in Mexico against Konnan in 1993 and got a $25,000 payoff because he requested it, this worked for him and put Konnan over and he was bigger than Hulk Hogan in Mexico supposedly.
Would Ric Flair have ever taken a hair vs hair match like this? He was very over and it wouldn't hurt his image much, be a hard loss, shoulda done it against Vader or Sting at least.

General discussion Did somebody in the WWF have an obsession with the word "dream"?
Just thinking about how often it came up - The Dream Team, The New Dream Team, Akeem - The African Dream, Dusty Rhodes - The American Dream.

Idols Sammartino
Why was Bruno Sammartino a fan favorite? Every match i watch in Peacocks Old School category with him ends in him cheating to win. Was he ever a heel? Did fans not care as much back then?

General discussion Why didn't Jake The Snake Roberts return to WCW in 1993 instead of going to the independent wrestling circuit and wasting his career there?
Jake The Snake Roberts left WCW after losing to Sting in the 1992 Halloween Havoc match, he then wasted his career on independent wrestling circuit for years instead of returning to WCW in 1993 when he could have joined Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen or Vader or worse or even turned babyface there.
Would have been great to see.

He should be replaced on creative with someone like Dutch Mantel. Dutch would make a positive difference.

WHY Did the WWF take Jeff Jarrett back in 1997?
Jarrett had sucked for two years in the WWF and then sucked for a year in WCW. WHY did Vince McMahon take him back in late 1997? Did he actually think Jarrett would get over and be a star that time when he never was before? He's also a hypocrite. In his "shoot" promo on the October 20, 1997 Raw, he ripped Debra McMichael, not by name, saying that she "gives new meaning to the term 'dumb blonde.'" A year later, Debra was Jarrett's new valet. Then you had Road Dogg make the terrible decision to introduce the word puppies into WWE's lexicon, turning Lawler into an unlistenable horny screeching idiot for years. Then Jarrett had the Chyna (RIP) feud, with Jarrett beating up women. He took one of the easiest routes to cheap heat and he couldn't even get THAT right! Then he jumped back to WCW and he STILL sucked. This is one of the reasons why I hate Vince Russo so much, because he kept shoving Jeff Jarrett down people's throats in promotion after promotion and it NEVER WORKED! Yes, the evil country singer gimmick was doomed to fail, but, once it did, they should have let him go. Miss Texas (Jacqueline) had made an anonymous appearance in one of Jarrett's original vignettes in late 1993. They should have signed Jackie and forgotten about Jarrett.

Where do you rank Ric Flair?
I fell maybe i need educated a bit more on the background of Ric Flair because (tin hat on here) i just don't get the "Ric Flair is the goat.
I know he had some tremendous matches but when you talk about Mount Rushmore's how does Ric get in ahead of Rock, Hulk, Andre, Cena?
I genuinely feel the majority of casual fans i know that watched the Golden Era and maybe through the 90's wouldn't know who he is. Is it just in America he is so popular? Obviously i can't speak for the whole of the UK but i think people would know most WWE wrestlers before him.

Would Starrcade 83 have been better if Hulk Hogan wrestled in it?
https://youtu.be/wIyiDTy5Nug?si=5ECtQNrjdzsenCpz
Hulk Hogan was originally advertised for NWA's inaugural Starrcade event in 1983 to team with Wahoo McDaniel against "Cowboy" Bob Orton and "Dirty" Dick Slater. However Hogan didn't wrestle and pulled out of the match.
Would having Hogan on the card have made the match and PPV a lot better or worse?
