      @@tertmade9769 That's an interesting take. Although there aren't many wrestlers who could actually take on Brock Lesnar and maybe succeed. Kurt Angle certainly could. Mark Henry definitely could. We have seen John Cena and Roman Reigns be able to defeat him. Mr Kennedy? I'm not sure. But if the late great Eddie Guerrero could do it, anything is possible!

    @WRESTLE WITH ANDY I wanted to point out a few discrepancies that I noticed in this video. (1) Prior to his success in the world of MMA/UFC. And before his rise to stardom in WWE during the late 1990s... ''Ken Shamrock'' actually had a career as a (Professional Wrestler). In 1988, Shamrock trained to be professional wrestler under ''Buzz Sawyer'', ''Nelson Royal'', and ''Gene Anderson''. His pro-wrestling debuted came in 1989. When he worked in Nelson Royal's North Carolina-based ''ACW'' (Atlantic Coast Wrestling) promotion. Under the ring name ''Wayne Shamrock''. After ACW folded, Shamrock went to work for the (George Scott/Paul Jones)-run promotion ''South Atlantic Pro Wrestling'', which initially promoted under the banner of the (North American Wrestling Association). Under the ring name to ''Vince Torelli''. In the summer of 1990 Shamrock applied for a tryout in the Japanese based (UWFI) Union of Professional Wrestling Force International. Which was one of the first ''MMA Shoot'' promotions, one of the forerunner to (UFC and PRIDE Fighting). (2) 'Debrah Ann Miceli AKA 'Madusa''. Began her pro-wrestling in 1984, and was trained by Eddie Sharkey. In 1986, she first gained notoriety in ''Verne Gagne's'' legendary American Wrestling Association (AWA). Where she would work as both a Wrestler and sometimes Manager for varies male stars. In 1988, Miceli would go on to become the first woman to be awarded ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated's Rookie of the Year''. She was also briefly married to the late ''Eddie Gilbert''.

    I'll give you some examples you've missed:
    Dr. Death Steve Williams - Late Golden Era: He'd have had a better run then than in the Attitude Era (up to 1997-98)
    Ivory - Late Golden Era: She'd have had a more solid career and alongside Sherri Martel I could've seen her having a rivalry with Alundra Blayze, Wendi Richter (if not for you know what), and maybe even Luna. That's not to say she wasn't good in the attitude era, I just think she'd have been just as great earlier on in the fed. Would've still ended her career at the same time
    Jacqueline - Late Golden Era: Same reason as Ivory.
    As for Madusa/Alundra Blayze, problem was there was a lack of female talent (Vince didn't understand its value). Someone once told me they saw her wrestle one time, and she heard her after a match saying: "Hey Vince give me some REAL talent here". Had Vince taken female talent more seriously then, we'd have seen some interesting things (imagine a resurrected rivalry with Sherri Martel for example, and being allies with Wendi Richter). Shamrock wasn't exactly out of place but he could've came in a little bit later for sure
