I’m not really down on NASCAR as much as the young drivers. Mark Martin is still cool.

Papa Shango may be the best wrestler n history. And if he had not been so honorable, and had used his powers in the ring he would still be WWE champion!

The Thwagger/Cody/Mathters team would rock.

CEna needs a heel turn. The WWE just has to suck up the short term merchandise loss for the knowledge that it will lead to better ratings. Maybe some “Die cena, die!” chants will work.

Or they could just bring back the People’s Champion!

I don’t see how you can be down on NASCAR — I remember you used to be a Martin Fan, back when Gordon ruled and MArtin was 2nd fiddle. After I bought my Jeff Gordon jacket you said “maybe I should get a mark martin one and follow you around trying to pass you but failing” — or something to that effect.

I think Kyle Busch is a natural for wrestling,a ctually — he’s as close to a heel as pro sports have — not calculated stuff like PBF or MMA — but just a general asshole.

Logano was a poor choice, he just giggles like a school girl.

I maintain my Kofi = really old time Sting, complete with rat tail. Awesome athlete, great look, charisma — and still got that “such a perpetual face that he’s kind of dorky” vibe. Kofi obviously can do a lot worse than sting as a career model. He’ll have 18 months where he will neither have to speak or wrestle and make 2.5 million over that time.

I like Kofi, though — of all the Power Generation of new stars, he’s the most likely to build a fed around. Even if he never ascends to #1 face or heel, he’s a solid 2nd fiddle. He’s like a 3 hitter on a team with a beast hitting cleanup. He’s a good fit for the Cardinals to hit ahead (not behind, tony) pujols if Holliday walks.

You brought up a good one. Hulk vs Hollywood. I gotta go with Hollywood. I’m a fan of the heels ultimately, I think their job seems like alot more fun. Even though the “Real American” theme could get me pumped out of a deep sleep… he traded up for Hendrix. I got bias when it comes to Jimi.

It’s gotta be hard to go from that well loved to that well hated.

As much as I enjoyed young Steiner, the older version had chainmail head garb. That’s tough to beat. Plus, even though his ring work get worse and worse as he got larger, his promos became hilariously ridiculous.

Now that I think about it though, that match in Japan with Cactus Jack vs Terry Funk was awesome.

I got 2:

Islander Haku vs King Haku vs Meng

& (a rather notable one that’s come up before)

Steiner Brother Scott Steiner vs Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner

On a side note, when I interviewed Shelton Benjamin at this year’s WrestleMania, I said, “Look kids! It’s ‘The Natural’ Butch Reed!!!”

In a match, I’d have to go with WCW/ECW Cactus Jack. That said, I was way more amused with Dude Love than most people.

How about this, N8R: Samoan Swat Team Fatu vs. Headshrinker Fatu vs. “Make a Difference” Fatu vs. The Sultan vs. Rikishi

Cactus Jack v heel Mankind v face Mankind v Dude Love v plain old Mick Foley.

Face Mankind rings the loudest bell in my memory.

And contrary to the belief of many… I think pimpin’ is kinda easy. It beats digging holes for a living.
