Explain to me like I am 5 why Alberto Del Rio was given more WWE titles and World Heavyweight titles than Eddie Guerrero?

Why was Alberto Del Rio pushed to the moon from the get go? Yet Eddie who was far superior in every way e.g Charismatic, great Physique, amazing in ring talent and most of all HUMBLE had to fight and claw his way to the top, just to have a short 4 month WWE title reign?

Thoughts??

Was there any louder crowd reaction in the 80s than Hulk Hogan slamming Andre at WrestleMania III?

I rewatched WrestleMania III last night and honestly the crowd reaction still feels unreal even by today’s standards.
I know people debate the actual attendance number, but visually and emotionally it still feels massive. The moment Hogan picked Andre up, the crowd noise completely changed. It didn’t even sound like cheering anymore, just shock.
What stood out to me rewatching it now is how long they let moments breathe compared to modern wrestling. No constant camera cuts, no overproduction, just the audience losing their minds naturally.
For fans who watched it live back then, did it immediately feel historic in the moment or did it grow bigger over time?

Marty Janetty had his foot amputated today pray for him

Marty Jannetty has undergone a foot amputation following years of serious problems and ongoing pain involving his foot and ankle.

It’s heartbreaking news for wrestling fans who grew up watching Marty as one half of The Rockers, but for those close to the situation, it’s also a reminder of just how much physical pain he’s reportedly been battling for a long time.

We’ve had the opportunity to work events with Marty over the years, and he was always incredibly kind to us, to the people around him, and especially to the fans. No matter what he was dealing with personally or physically, Marty always made time for people.

As difficult as this news is, we’re also hopeful that this can become a new beginning for him — one where he’s finally able to live with less pain and more comfort after so many hard years on that foot and ankle.

From all of us at Book Pro Wrestlers, we’re sending Marty Jannetty our prayers, support, and best wishes for healing and recovery.

Vince is still booking...

Vince is still booking...

Well after seeing the return of Brock Lesnar at RAW last night I am now fully convinced Vince is still booking this show. You add in the upcoming Cena challenge, the corny ass El Grande Americano gimmick and other ongoing storylines and you have Vince Mcmahon classic booking.

And lets be honest. We all know Brock is not going to lose twice to Oba. Chances are he will win. Gunther will likely beat Cody. This sits up for Gunther vs Brock at Summerslam. Meanwhile this leaves Oba with zero credibility. Any momentum he had is going to go right out the window and he's back at square one again.

On top of that you have Jacob vs Roman AGAIN. Same thing. They are going to feed Jacob to Roman for a SECOND loss? Why? Why are they building talent up only to have them fall? Only one person does that shit. Vince. I don't know of he's phoning it in or feeding this to HHH. But HHH os definitely not the guy in charge we thought he was.
