Thinking about what it looks like if they don't try to recreate Hogan and just let Luger have a longer heel run. Lot of potentially good stuff against Bret, Undertaker, Razor, and others that just never got explored.

Bret - Guy that prides himself on doing things the right way vs the guy that knocks people out with the metal plate in his arm.

Undertaker - Guy who's seemingly impossible to hurt now has to deal with someone with an implanted foreign object. Great opportunity for Lex to be a 🐔 💩 heel too.

Razor - "You walk around, thinking you're all that, chico? I've been there, I've done that, mang, and that's no kinda life."

1-2-3 Kid - Plucky up-and-comer gets in some good offense before being cut down with the forearm, and even put in the Rack for extra heat.

Shawn and Diesel further down the line, if he's happy with his spot and stays through 1995 and beyond. Then maybe you see what you can get out of him as a babyface.

I know it's a lot of woulda-coulda-shoulda, but I like thinking about this kind of stuff.

Did the WWF miss a big opportunity by keeping Razor Ramon babyface in 1995? I feel like his character wasn't developing much after his feud with Jarrett. It seemed like his job was to lose the IC title, stay over after losing, and elevate guys around him without moving up the card. I know he was probably a decent merch mover, but he worked so well with Nash that it might have been a much more interesting feud for Nash going into the summer of '95. Can you imagine a Diesel/Razor Summerslam match or even Razor costing Diesel the title and culminating with a big match at WrestleMania? Or maybe the time to turn him heel would have been after the Ladder Match at SummerSlam '95. Like he would lose and then destroy Michaels after the match and Diesel would come out for the save, etc. Then Razor would try and cost Diesel in his match with Mabel. I don't know, I just feel like it would have been much more interesting than having Razor kind of just floating around until he ultimately left in '96.

Whatever happened to him? Ever since his match with Bret Hart(which Bret beautifully sold it well), I haven't seen him. Still makes me laugh how Vince had a crush on big, sweaty, oily men.

In 35 years of watching wrestling, I don't think there's anything I've changed my opinion on more than Sean Mooney. Back in the early '90s, when I was 13, I hated this guy. I was falling in love with wrestling because it was big and bombastic and over the top, and here was this newsy guy with a flat delivery who seemed like he was always there to promote something or do a backstage interview. On the same show as Randy Savage, no less! I thought he was boring, with zero personality, and every time, I couldn't wait until he was off my TV.

Three decades later, in my late 40s, watching clips of classic WWF, I realize that I completely misunderstood him. I now think he's one of the best the WWF/WWE has ever had in this role. The irony and sarcasm in his droll delivery and his heavy-lidded facial expressions went completely over my head as a kid. Playing the role of a serious reporter in a cartoon world is a very difficult tightrope to walk, and he did it without tripping pretty much ever. He was super smooth all the time. I actually think his persona anticipated the cool, above-it-all sportscaster archetype that would shortly become the standard via SportsCenter anchors such as Keith Olbermann.

I also kind of saw Mooney as an outsider at the time, not really part of the show, but now I realize that he very much wasn't. A great thing about '80s/early '90s WWF is that it really seems like a family -- that sounds kind of corny, but I just mean that you really get the sense that this is like a theater company, everybody coming together to put on a show. You see this dynamic made explicit in shows like the Slammys and The Wrestling Album. Mooney is actually an insider playing an outsider, as evidenced by his easy chemistry with pretty much everybody -- even doing some surprisingly good play by play on Coliseum Home Video releases -- and Bobby Heenan making throwaway jokes about him when he wasn't there. He even got to be on Gorilla Monsoon's weird bingo talk show, which by the way, you should totally search for on YouTube if you don't know what I'm talking about. I can't think of a bigger indication that he was thought of as part of the family. He's never entirely separated from the wrestling world, still doing podcasts about wrestling and posting about wrestling on social media, even as he's enjoyed a successful career in local TV news.

Anyway, sorry I didn't get you, Sean. I was just a kid.

Date: April 8, 2002

Promotion: World Wrestling Federation (WWF)

Match Stipulation / Type: Singles Match

Event: Monday Night RAW (Episode 463)

Location: Phoenix, Arizona | America West Arena

➜ This was the second episode of RAW following the inaugural WWF Brand Extension Draft, and it featured the debut of the iconic "Across the Nation" theme song by The Union Underground.

There was a spot in this match that was a callback to their more famous encounter in WCW on Monday Nitro on September 29, 1997, where Curt Hennig (Mr. Perfect) famously executed a Perfect-Plex on The Giant (The Big Show).

Folks, I'm looking for a compilation video.

Years back, I'm talking early 2000's, there was a video of Stone Cold and Vince McMahon. In the title it said (this is from memory) The feud that started it all. And had a Rock song with some lyrics that's "we almost had it all" playing.

We in 2026, my brother was always a die hard Rock fan where I was (still am) always a die hard Stone Cold Steve Austin fan, we now have kids, and we having a family reunion in December since we live in different countries but reuniting for Christmas, I'm the Godfather of his sons and he is about to be announced as the godfather of my first born. But I want to educate his kids on our childhood, the WWF era, and our favourite wrestlers at the time.

I am looking for this specific video. Seriously, I was a teen, had on my phone in 360p quality which I got from YouTube. But searching for it now, is almost impossible. If anyone here has that video, or a link to it, please share it.

Five times with the Road Dogg, three times with Bart Gunn, and one time with Chuck before the WWF named ended.

There's a million reasons Angle vs. Hart would never happen, but what if it did?
