I'm totally with you the Irish Whips as well. Just re-goddam-diculous. And I know its been brought up before, but why is Edge's Spear a finishing move. Thats like, a standard "start the match" move. Its a frickin tackle. With Goldberg, I could feel it, cause he is like a fuckin train. Shit, even Rhyno's Gore comes off a little believable to me. And don't even get me started on the Pounce. Somehow they made the spear an even lamer move. Ranting, sorry. Worked punches are annoying, yet seemingly vital. If I got punched 10 times in a row from a mounted position while lounging against a turnbuckle, I would be dazed and bloodied at the very least. |

Irish whips suck 99% of the time... actually, now they suck 100% of the time. Back when it was 99% of the time, the irish whip only ruled when Bret Hart took that 5,000 mph chest first charge into the corner. |

I hate seeing people try to take that bump well now. Benoit is close, but even he can't do it quite the way Bret did. |

How WWE makes drawing #1 in the Rumble such a horrible thing, even though drawing 2 is just as bad. |

Right, and it's never Hurricane who happens to draw #1, it just happens to be a top star who you know is goin to fare well. About Irish Whips: I don't understand the problem. If a huge muscle guy grabs your arm and slings you in a general direction, you will go in that direction. Now, bouncing off of steel cables and running back at the guy? Yeah, that's fake. |

Actually one year (2000 maybe?) the first two were (I think) Grand Master Sexay and D'Lo Brown, which I found weird. |

1994 (Scott Steiner & Samu), 1997 (Ahmed & Crush), 2000 (Dlo & GMS), 2001 (Jeff Hardy & Buchanon), and 2002 (Rikishi & Goldust) are the biggest examples of crap starters. Come on, were ANY of these guys potential winners of a Battle Royale at the time of their participations? I say no, which makes me just laugh seeing them enter 1 & 2 in a Royal Rumble Match, where only uppder-mid/main eventers won (except 1989... BIG JOHN STUDD?!) |

Yeah, I just looked up a list, and you're right. You could also add Axe & Smash to that ('89). They went out like 3 and 4, I think. |

Ax lasted fairly well for a starter (around 15:00, but like you said, elimimated 4th), considering Smash was eliminated right when Curt Hennig (#4; 4:00 mark) entered. |

Hey now, show some love for the Studd. Studd was a main-eventer/upper midcarder before he disappeared around 1987 and the Rumble win was a way to re-insert him in that position. From January to May 89, he would face guys like Bossman, Akeem and Andre--all 3 had recently headlined shows as the EVIL heel and were regular opponents for maineventers Hogan and Savage. |

Any reason why Studd suddenly vanished from television? While on the subject, how often did Studd wrestle on television? |

In storylines, there was no reason given. In reality, I believe he had health problems..or else someone in his family had health problems. During his 1989 return he rarely wrestled on TV. I don't recall seeing him in any jobber squashes during that time. I'm sure he wrestled on MSG TV, but when it came to the national shows, he would just appear in interviews. He had a run-in for the March SNME and wrestled King Haku on "Challenge" once. That was about it. |
