Bonus when they would job a guy's undefeated streak out to the World Champion, then immediately have no plans for him after - streaks are lazy/bad storylines

The concept of the Razor Ramon 1993 face turn has always been odd to me. He jobs in the most massive upset ever, a heel randomly makes fun of him for it, and suddenly he's a face? I mean, it worked just fine because people were very ready for a Razor face turn, but I don't even know how that idea gets drawn up.

Adam Bomb just debuted. I forgot that he started out with a powerbomb as his finisher. When he turned face, I'm almost sure he was using a pumphandle slam as a finisher.

There were a variety of reasons that face Adam Bomb did not work.

Duggan scores the pinfall. Lawler: "I'm surprised he can even count to three."

King, this is not The Wrestling Classic. It's customary for someone else in the ring to count to three.

Well that series of episodes is spent. Please start backfilling next. By mid-‘93, Superstars has stopped even being a flagship show since Raw is up and running.

I'm really digging early heel 2002 Undertaker

He really is a top tier legend, I think I have underrated him, but makes sense of I haven't seen 10 years of his best work

Ron Simmons must be in the HOF and I'm not googling it to check
If he is not it's a travesty

Just relistened with headphones and stand by my statement

This song was a huge factor in Triple H getting over!

Song rankings just for HHH alone, let alone all wrestlers all-time:
1. My Time
2. Line in the Sand
3. King of Kings
4. DX
5. Ode to Joy
6. The Game
7. Lame harp music from when he first started

During that extremely brief period where Mr. Perfect was going to manage him, he actually did come out to Perfect's theme for one Superstars jobber squash, but obviously that got memory-holed quickly when Hennig bolted for WCW.

Sasha Banks's theme is definitely great. I'm not as familiar with Aleister Black's.

I just thought "The Game" was generic and nothing special. I would guess the majority of fans are closer to your opinion than mine (if you take out the #2 all-time business anyway).

As music that massively helped people get over go, Demolition would have to be very high on the list I think. Thank God that's not one of the many songs that gets dubbed over on the WWE Network.

Incidentally Dan, you might enjoy this thread: we did an all-time themes draft here some years ago.

I put King of Kings above Line in the Sand and then swapped. I think that's a close decision. Line in the Sand is more of a grows-on-you-with-time song than King of Kings, which is kind of instantly great.
