    Let's hear it for Richard David and Eddie.. um... Eddie Edwards.

    I guess he's immune.

    Not to threadjack but I've been listening to the Stone Cold podcast with Ric Flair and does anyone else think there's like an 85% chance that Harley Race or one of those old school hard asses from the territorial days killed someone? Not in the ring, but in a bar fight or to settle a bet?

  10. SHough610August 30, 2013 at 12:02 PM

    Of the Wolves I think Eddie is the much better bet for stardom in WWE. I always liked Eddie and think he's evolved and improved as a worker while Davey stagnated and seemed to fall heavily into his faults. By the way, when did Davey fall off as a worker? Because it seems like it happened right after he won the title.

    I came here to say the same thing; change his first name if you ABSOLUTELY have to have some kind of trademark thing but the name Drago is gold! I don't even know what the guy looks like but if he doesn't riff on Rocky movies, they're missing the money train.

    Unfortunately (I'm a huge fan of Styles, in my personal top five), I kinda doubt he wins the series now due to the contract status. I just hope and pray it's Aries instead of freaking Hardy.

    I saw Davey work last April against Elgin and he was very impressive.

  22. Worst_in_the_WorldAugust 30, 2013 at 12:45 PM

    Same here.
    Aries would be my choice too, since he's the guy that still MAYBE has chance for breakout potential if they give him a strong face run as champ.


    Hardy, on the other hand though, is the only one who makes sense as having an actual beef with Bully Ray.

  23. SHough610August 30, 2013 at 12:49 PM

    Completely forgot about that. Was that MOTY for the US? I was more thinking of his match with London and his lackluster run with the title (which was admittedly as much to blame on him not having great opponents, but still).

    That was an awesome interview. I loved when Flair was talking about taking a clothesline from Stan Hansen "back when a clothesline was really a clothesline." He could do a 50 hour podcast with Flair and I don't think it would ever get boring.

    True, but they've already gone to the Hardy-Bully well way too many times. Plus Jeff's just stale as dirt, and I never particularly liked him to begin with.

    Glad we got the reigned in Flair talking about 70s and 80s guys he likes instead of burying the 90s guys he hates. He started heading down that road and got redirected.

    Tim was Andre The Giant and later Shawn Michaels' handler so it was figured that Tim would have a lot of stories to tell given that Tim was around both guys when they were at their self-destructive low points.

    Plus, the WWE developmental system has been great. I'm a much bigger fan of Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and Antonio Cesaro than I ever was of Tyler Black, Jon Moxley, and Claudio Castignoli.

    The problem is there's such a dearth of managers they'd have to bring in someone to do it. He and Edwards definitely aren't Heyman guys unless being used short-term and while having Zeb manage the American Wolves sounds good, they're also not his traditional rasslin' deal. That's pretty much the list of traditional managers, unless...

    For me, I really stopped caring for his work a month or so after he won the title. His match with Eddie at BITW was awesome. Then he stagnated for me. His work became boring. I think Final Battle 2011 was the final nail. The rematch with Eddie and I got halfway through before I had to stop.
