Sometimes I forget how good the Hitman and the Anvil were together. I remember when they went to WWE and I saw Bret dressed in his black trunks jobbing out to everyone but putting on these amazing matches and losing. The Anvil was getting a little bit of a push.
In Bret's book he talked about the WWE wanting him to be Cowboy Bret Hart and come out to the ring in chaps and a cowboy hat and he refused. He floated around for a while, and then asked to be teamed with Anvil and they added Jimmy Hart and it was magical.
Bret in his book talked about how shy he was doing promo's and that Anvil carried those first few interviews and Bret's magic fix were his sun glasses.
They were such a dastardly duo, great heels and their screw over of the Bulldogs with Danny Davis was amazing.
People eventually forgot that Bret was originally a bad guy and were surprised at how good he was as a heel in his last run in the WWE before the screwjob.
I would really like to see the Bulldogs inducted one day, especially now with both members long since passed, it would be nice for the WWE to remember that they were the template for the modern tag team. Though it might be tough with both Davy's and Dynamites personal lives.
I would love to see Pillman inducted and Owen, but its not likely to happen.

Daniel Bryan might actually be the best overall wrestler ever. Great matches, and great character work.
I'm not sure any face was able to get as hot as he was at the time of WM30, and then still have everyone completely hate him a couple years later.
Austin: After the big face run he was never really "hated" as a heel even though WWE tried - still more of a tweener.
Rock: Same thing. After his big face run was always a tweener after that.
Hogan: Early days of NWO he was pretty hated...but a lot of that was moving WWF to WCW and leaning on the WWF invasion part of the outsiders since WCW fans hated all things WWF at the time. As time passed people started to hate Hogan the person, not Hogan the character.
Prediction. Kofi loses his WM match in less then 30 seconds
No chance IMO.
That would turn the crowd hostile for the rest of the night. Kofi can lose but if he does it needs to be a long battle where he just gets beaten in the end.

Oh how you have more faith in WWE writers than me.

I have no doubt Daniel Bryan - the person - is onboard with a Kofi win, and see it as a service to Kofi and the WWE fans he's had for 11 years. He is white hot right now, and the two can have an epic match - likely the best one of the night - with both coming out spectacular.
If Kofi loses this it will be after an extended, grueling slugfest with high spots and drama. He's not going to do a standard job if he has to lose IMO.

As a child growing up, it was very strange to cross over and cheer on the heels. The Foundation was everything for me. Now it's common for the heels to be cheered but at the time it was very strange

I always cheered for the heels.
I remember when the Bulldogs returned to Stampede Wrestling and Dynamite turned on Davey (Nobody knew at the time that these two had grown to hate each other) and everytime Dynamite hit Davy with the Chain we egged him on.
I remember going to a show at the dome where the Hart Foundation who were heels took on the killer bees and we boo'd the bee's out of the building.
I was a huge fan of a heel Jake the Snake.
I cheered for Savage when he turned on Hogan.
When Jake hit Ricky Steamboat in the throat with a ring bell, I jumped out of my seat.
the heels were just plain more believable to me.

No mention of Benoit. Hard to do a true docu-series on the tragedy of wrestling without that story.
I agree completely, I wonder for the most part if it would be hard to do a story on Benoit because most of his career footage and interview footage belongs to the WWE and they aren't likely to release it, and the WWE probably wouldn't comment on it.
To this day, that story still sickens me because I was a huge fan of him and his work.

I'm looking forward to that one, I'm also really interested in the woman's title match, because my feeling is that Shayna is heading to the main roster.
