One of the worst because the time intervals were the shortest ever. Plus, the # of top stars at the time was paltry.

I watched the 1988 USA Network Rumble that Duggan won about 1,000 times, to the point I wore out the Memorex VHS I recorded it on.

i was duped into watching it. i kind of liked the fast pace with the entrants but other then that it was weak. king kong bundy got jobbed, i thought he had it in the bag.

I was at the 2008 one...place was buzzing for Taker and Shawn at the start. The pop for Cena's surprise entry was ballistic.
Believe to this day Hardy should have beat Orton for the belt...even though he was popped for a positive test weeks later. Before the show began, going to the seats, tons if people were talking Hardy. Their build for him leading to that match was epic.

I remember going to a RAW a while back and everyone I ran into was talking about how Hardy was going to win Money in the Bank that year and go on to be WWE champion, yet that day he failed a wellness policy test and lost the IC belt to Chris Jericho in a very good match I might add.

A question for W2B...
What kind of money could Zack Ryder make on the Indie scene...
If you consider Colt Cabana being perhaps, the "most popular" Indie performer...and he's got 110K twitter followers and a popular wrestling podcast...Ryder has nearly a million followers on Twitter and a popular wrestling Youtube show...
That's a lot of ability to market himself and whatever wrestling promotion he shows up on...surely, someone sees value in that...
What do you think he could make working the Indies these days?
I'd hypothesize he could be one of the top paid guys...that's a lot of potential eyes on someone for promotion.

I've seen every Rumble...but its like watching an Iron Man match...to me, its only good for one time watch because they are so fucking long. I just ain't got time to watch'em over and over again. Plus, its tough to keep my attention in that format again, even though its segmented for the ADD watcher.

First off, he'd have to start a new twitter and who knows how many followers he would lose.
Second, a lot would depend on if he used the name. Smaller indies will use it anyway, but the bigger guys have to be more careful.
I think a guy like Barretta will do GREAT, because he can really go in the ring, so he will get booked by places like PWS, NWS, etc that like to use former names, but also the 'workrate' indies that like to use great workers and put together great matches. His phone literally rang as soon as he was fired, and he was booked by PWS before WWE even announced he was gone. For a guy who was never used on house shows, didn't work a single PPV, had no merch, wasn't on many (if any) DVD's, wasn't in the video game, etc he was basically making his downside and might do just as well (if not better) on the indie scene (at least the first year or so).
But what is Ryder worth without the name? I don't know. LIke most he's do well for a few months for sure, but beyond that, the further he gets from TV it becomes a struggle.

He can just change his twitter handle, it doesn't require him to start a "new" Twitter. Hell, Morrison still uses his Twitter with WWE logo and everything. He won't lose followers unless they unfollow him...which is highly unlikely to get a mass exodus of unfollowing on Twitter. FWIW, Morrison has a little under 600K followers.
The facebook like-page (facebook is becoming archaic, really) is a grey area, as most of those are corporate run. But Twitter accounts are run completely by the talent, and by all accounts are owned and operated by the talent themselves.

Anyone read the spoilers for the first two TNA PPVs?
The Joker's Wild Tournament seems a bit confusing and a clusterfuck of sorts, but it was definitely "Joker's Wild" as they had some weird pairings. I probably wouldn't buy.
The X-Division looks interesting.
They bring in a ton of guys...
Matt Bentley, Lince Dorado, Jimmy Rave, Puma, Rashad Cameron, Tony Nese, Rubix, Mason Andrews, Petey Williams, Sonjay Dutt.
Samoa Joe v. Austin Aries gets great buzz as does Jerry Lynn v. RVD.
The X-Division PPV sounds like a buy.

It sounds like TNA plans on pushing Christian York a bit which is good news. He's by far the most ready of the Gut Check performers and it shows that the whole Gut Check thing actually means something
