All you hardcore Bret marks... get over it. Not everybody is going to be as far up his ass as you all are.

Part of Micheals thing is, when he wants to be, can be the best wrestler of all time. Trouble is, when he doesn't want to be, business has sufferred for his wants. Presently, he should be a heel challenging for the WWE Title. In the past, I'm sure Owen Hart's career NEVER suffered because of Shawn's ego (or Austin's freak neck injury or H's refusal to put him over, but I digress) [/sarcasm]. Example number 2: Shane Douglas. Sure the guy burned more bridges than Jarrett killed crowds, but the Dean Douglas character was catching fire in spite of being a shit gimmick. Micheals wouldn't put him over, though (the "Manhattan Incident," which to this day I STILL doubt ever happened.)

Let me state to start of I am not a huge Bret Mark, I never really saw enough of his work (I was a WCW junkie) to become a huge fan.
That being said I hate Michaels ring psycology since his return. I have seen pretty much every televised HBK match since his return to face HHH and everytime he kips up and hits that elbow the mark in me dies just a little more because it is fucking fake. I remember him wrestling a match against HHH I think but I'm not sure I know its happened more than once though and his opponent worked the back all freaking match, suddenly HBK hits his knock down, he kips up and runs to the top, hits an elbow and starts selling again as he gets up. That pisses me off so bad when I go watch a guy like Benoit who constantly sells everything and yet guys are so far up Michaels ass a great seller and ring psycologist, give me a break. Surely I'm not the only one this annoys? |

HBK has some of the worst ring psychology in the business. But his crowd psychology is almost flawless. He knows what to do and when to do it to get the desired reaction out of an audience. I appreciate ring psychology, but it isn't as important as working the crowd right. So I can ignore his flaws I suppose.

I pretty much agree with Destor, except Hart > Flair (fuck you, it's true).
Hart and Michaels are both phenonimal wrestlers but each one excels at one kind of psychology, but not so much at the other. Thing is, Bret's technical prowess sucks you in. He won't play to the crowd at all during a match, but you can't turn away if you want to. The way he doesn't waste movement and stays on the guy like a vicious dog draws me in like a moth to a flame. |

It's not even a Canada thing. The first couple of years I saw Bret wrestling (I was like 9 years old) I didn't even know he was Canadian. He just mesmerized me with his prowess.

Seriously though, Ivan Koloff = da man. If you missed out on his career you need to look into it. He was one of the top three heels of his day. Every title match he had you had a feeling that this dirty Russian might steel this sucker. Top ten all time greatest heels right there and you never hear anything about him.

The little bit I've seen of 24/7 I'm am in love with. They have so much. NWA, AWA, CWC (WWF before it was WWWF,) WWWF, WWF, WWE, ECW, WCW, Mid-Atlantic, and probably more. Its amazing. Not to mention all the 'Confidential' type pieces they have. What more can a fan want? GLOW? Or maybe WOW?

Yeah, GLOW is shit. WOW (Women of Wrestling, if you didn't know) is just a cheap GLOW rip off. I'd take it over CZW though. [/obvious joke]

Yeah, I remember those 80s women's feds. Oh man, they couldn't wrestle for shit.
I really hope the WWE starts importing Japanese female wrestlers like they were in the early 90s. |

LOL, I just realized the whole time I was talking about Ivan Koloff. I was thinking of Nikita Koloff. My bad, too long ago I suppose.
Any way I love Japanese women wrestling (even the hardcore when done right,) they get it done just as well the guys. Meguymi Kudo (I'm not spelling that right) would have death matches and tell these amazing emotional stories in the 90's. Too bad she never made it to the states. Best female wrestler I've ever seen. American women wrestling was getting quite well from about 2001-2004ish and then it just went to shit about the same time they started that damn Diva Search shit. Plenty to bitch about the past few years though. |

read HBK's book....he never refused to job to Shane and he even told Vince he would but Vince said hell no we're gonna bury him...as far as the Manhattan Incident it happened in Syracuse and it is true in the book Shawn tells about how Bulldog and Waltman never even tried to help him when he left the bar that night and 6 guys jumped him.Shawn was dumped at Candido & Tammy's hotel room and they called 911 and Tammy actually stayed with Shawn that night to make sure he was alright seriosuly everyone needs to get this book he sets the record straight on alot of things and alot of people |

I guess HBK doesn't think springboard planchas to to the outside are very exciting. Or excellent storytelling, for that matter.

Shawn Michaels is shit-scared of Bret Hart.
Even with Bret's stroke I'm sure Bret will fuck shawn up. I'd buy that for a dollar! |
