I’m going to the Kentucky Derby this weekend and probably won’t be able to post again until Tuesday, so I wanted to clarify my argument one last time before Bo attempts to tear it to shreds. I don’t think I quite explained my Schwarzenegger/Hoffman analogy well enough, so I’m giving it one more go. Here’s [...]

First of all, the point of my Hoffman/Schwarzenegger analogy was that Wrestlemania is comparable to casting a big budget action movie. Obviously, I’d rather watch a Hoffman movie than an Arnold movie as well, but that has absolutely nothing to do with wrestling (and The Wire/CSI thing was just annoying). If it weren’t for Hogan, there would be [...]

My Wrestlemania is for real wrestling fans, yours is for the fringe ones. I think most real fans of wrestling would rather watch a Kurt Angle v. Edge match than a Hulk Hogan v. Randy Orton match. It’s personal preference, and I’m creating the card I’d most want to watch, and one that I think [...]

I don’t get what you think the point of this exercise is. You keep saying “I’m not trying to sell the most tickets, I’m trying to put together the best wrestling card”. Well, selling the most tickets means you put together the best wrestling card. Last I checked, that was the whole idea; generating the biggest buzz and cultivating the [...]

I’m not disputing the guy’s popularity or mic skills. My point is simply that for this exercise, my whole purpose was to build the Wrestlemania that I would most enjoy watching. If we were trying to sell the most tickets, I would have had Hogan near the top, but I’m trying to create the best [...]

Dude, your Hulk Hogan hate is just asinine. He literally made Wrestlemania. He main evented like 7 of the first 8 or something. Saying you wouldn’t pick him in the top 10 doesn’t make any sense. Stop drinking Bret Hart’s kool-aid. He was my favorite wrestler too, and I read all 1,500 pages of his [...]

I’d consider Hulk Hogan to be Tim Couch, except Couch is probably a better wrestler.

Bo is Al Davis. Mr. Perfect is Darius Heyward-Bey. Ponder that.

It’s time for the next Parents’ Basement project – The Ultimate Wrestlemania Challenge. Pat and I will both be attempting to create our dream Wrestlemania cards, using the wrestlers that we drafted head-to-head. First, the rules. Only wrestlers who actually participated in a Wrestlemania are eligible (no Sting). We’re both limited to 10 matches, only [...]
