WWE should play up they might possibly sell and give (just a act) like controlling percentage to Japan and bring in Stardom and New Japan talent and make it like it is a corporate invasion

Since that makes too much sense, that means it'll never happen.

Someone hasn't been watching the original Wrestling from the Chase and failed to mention the great Dick Murdoch wrestling as the Invader that was unmasked by no other than Bruno Sammartino. In one match against the great Johnny Valentine, the Invader was in trouble and JV ripped off his mask, only to discover the Invader was wearing 2 mask.As JV proceeded to rip off the second mask, Harley Race interfered and saved the Invader from being unmasked completely.

Not mentioning Dick Murdoch as the invader is a great injustice and tells me whoever made this list doesn't know the original real wrestling or its origins.

MM should have been 1 or 2 IMO.

Other honorable mention is The Blue Blazer (Owen Hart) another great injustice to be left out who died in the ring during a stunt gone wrong.

Ray Mysterio although good and deserves a top 10, wrestling had turned into a soap opera at this time and lost a lot of its greatness.

I worked next to Bob Backlund at the Big E in Mass. He asked me to watch his money bag when he had to go out to the business office or bathroom. I wasn't going to steal it and watched it like a hawk. He was charging $20 to have photos taken with him. I worked at the CT DEP Boating exhibit next to him and we got to be friends. I asked him if he worked with Johnny Valentine as he was my fav of all time; and Bob said no but understood JV was a master . But he told me he worked with Greg (JV's brother).

On my last day, I shook Bob's hand and told him it was an honor working next to him and he said "No, It was my honor working next to you" That made me feel quite special.

Anyone watch SD last night? Check out the scene with Bayley, Charlotte, and Sasha. I thought Charlotte stirred the pot quite nicely in starting dissension between Bayley and Sasha.

Sorry but that list was awful.

No mention of the Spoiler, really?
The Assassin{Jody Hamilton}also was deserving high up on the list as well.

Some of the wildest matches I have seen in person involved the Assassin. One time as he was leaving a match a dude in the audience punched him in the back. Hamilton turned and swung blindly knocking a lady completely on her keister.
Also saw him and Scandor Akbar get ran out of the back of the OKC Fairgrounds area with a very angry crowd in chase, they got in a old junker as people were throwing whatever they could get their hands on :laugh::laugh:This after a very controversial match against Bill Watts. The Assassin was also decent on the mic, but not the best. That award goes to Ernie Ladd.

Can someone please explain to me the purpose of the segments on Raw involving the Raiders and the Profits?

Thank you.
There was no purpose. Just a glaring example of Vince McMahon's ignorance. There been a lot of that unfortunately.

French Angel was the inspiration for "Shrek. TRUE FACT. He had a similar disease like Andre for Gigantism but it only affected his head and his hands.
