    I'll go a step further -- a triple threat big man match between Undertaker, Andre and a young Big Show.
    Andre would slow things down, but Undertaker and Big Show could carry the action with Andre coming in to clean house once every so often. Taker and Big Show team up to battle him, then go back to each other. They end up taking each other out and Andre comes in and sits on one of them to end it.

    Yeah, but we're limited to just one multi-person match, so I chose to let the women have that spotlight.

    Plus, I figure everyone is in their prime, and Andre in his prime (late 70s, early 80s) moved quite well. Plus, it'd be kinda fun to see Andre beat on Taker and Taker no-sell it.

    They're running out of old cartoon series to revive. Maybe they can move on to the goofy Sid and Marty Krofft series. Anyone for "WWE Superstars invade Lidsville"?

    That would've been a good one for WCW, considering CNN Center used to house the Wonderful World of Sid and Marty Krofft.

    I would pay good money to watch that card. I really love the inclusion of Gorgeous George. And Bruiser vs. Jack would be so brutal - in the sense that the two trying to kill each other.

    It's worth pissing away about 20 minutes on Reddit every week.

    Well, I guess his defense lawyer's argument that he was dying and mentally incompetent was true after all.

    He certainly was a memorable wrestling character and did have a family who loved him, but I don't know that I would necessarily RIP him. I'll be interested to see if the E mentions him or does a tribute tomorrow.

    Probably won't be a 10-bell salute like Piper, Dusty and Warrior, but I would expect at least his face on a black screen going into the opening of Raw.

    Yeah. I see they've mentioned him on the website and did a photo gallery.
