After mounting failures and huge drops in earnings across the board for the Walt Disney Corporation, from streaming to TV to movies to theme parks, Bob Iger claims they're going to "fix it." He says they will "rebuild" Disney. In a sense, they're looking to...Build Back Better. That always works out! #Disney #WaltDisney #BobIger ARTICLE 1: https://comicbook.com/movies/news/disney-town-hall-bob-iger-town-hall-wish-box-office ARTICLE 2: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/28/disney-ceo-bob-iger-says-he-wants-to-build-again-during-town-hall.html ARTICLE 3: https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/11/28/disneys-magic-fades-as-company-admits-being-at-odds-with-consumers-in-recent-sec-report

In 1995, everyone was pretty much sick and tired of Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania. This caused Hogan to lash out at his critics, including Uncle Dave Meltzer, who seemed to enjoy angering the Hulkster. #hulkhogan #davemeltzer #wwe linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

In the words of DJ Khalid, "And another one!" Disney's Wish failed to meet expectations or even COME CLOSE to expectations on its opening weekend. We're going to breakdown how and why this happened.

Sixty Men... Three Rings... Three Giants... One Battle Royal! That was the tagline for the very first ever World War 3 event for WCW in 1995. It was not great, but it was unique and it drew a pretty good sized house in Virginia. Johnny B. Badd (not shockingly) opens the show against DDP for the TV Title and it tests the Diamond Doll's allegiances. The All Japan women are in tag-team action that puts what the WWF did a month earlier to shame. Big Bubba Rogers and Jim Duggan face off in a Taped Fist match (yes, really), Sting takes on Ric Flair in a forgotten match-up, and Lex Luger faces an injured "Macho Man" Randy Savage. In the main event, we've got 3 rings, 3 commentary teams, 60 men, 3 giants, and 1 winner. However, the finish was marred with controversy and you'll see why. Let's just say that it makes the babyface Hulk Hogan look like a giant douche. In the news, we discuss one of Vince McMahon's lawyers being investigated by the FBI, WCW and NJPW's working relationship possibly coming to an end, Sabu's surprise return to ECW, and much more! linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

At the post Survivor Series press conference, Triple H commented on Jade Cargill's status. He says it's "by no fault of her own" that she's not ready to go. So, whose fault is it? #wwe #aew #jadecargill linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

This is a comprehensive review of the greatest wrestling trilogy of all time. We will hear no other contenders! In 1989, "Nature Boy" Ric Flair took on Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat at 3 separate events: Chi-Town Rumble, Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun, and WrestleWar '89: Music City Showdown. All 3 events kind of sucked and drew like crap. However, the one and only match from all 3 events that anyone was talking about (and is still talking about to this day) is Flair vs. Steamboat. Your Main Event Marks watched all 3 events in full and will review the main event matches for you in detail, giving our opinions as well as the opinions from Uncle Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer "News" letter at the time. linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

Just 6 days after Survivor Series 1991, we've got a shortened show titled This Tuesday in Texas. The Undertaker was only 1 year into his WWF run when he defeated the goose that laid the golden eggs, Hulk Hogan, to become WWF Champion on Taker's 1 year anniversary (with the help of Ric Flair). Now, he's the defending champion against The Hulkster. "Macho Man" Randy Savage also looks for revenge on the evil snake man, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who had been making Savage and Miss Elizabeth's lives a living Hell for months, including crashing their wedding reception and having a cobra bite Macho Man. Bret Hart also takes on Skinner, the British Bulldog does battle with the Warlord, and Repo Man teams with Ted DiBiase against Virgil and El Matador to continue "The Million Dollar Man's" feud with his former "servant." This show took place on December 3, 1991, at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Texas. The event was an attempt by the WWF to establish Tuesday as a secondary pay-per-view night. Lukewarm reaction and a disappointing 1.0 buyrate rendered the experiment a failure, and the company shelved its plans until October 2004, when it held Taboo Tuesday. linktr.ee/MainEventMarks

The show may be called "November to Remember," but both the show and the year 1995 are things WE DO NOT want to remember! Per our usual arrangement, this show was a bleeding, disorganized mess. We did get to see some crazy things like Mikey Whipwreck defeating Steve Austin (pre Stone Cold) for the ECW Title and "The Hardcore Legend" Terry Funk in tag-team action with his protege, Tommy Dreamer. But beyond that, you're looking for corn in a turd. This dropped (pardon the poop pun) a day before Survivor Series and while the WWF wasn't pumping out golden content at this time, ECW was putting out a MUCH inferior product (in our opinions). In the news, we cover the ongoing (and brand new) Monday Night Wars, the WCW and NJPW relationship going into Starrcade, ECW in hot water with the Pennsylvania State Athletic Commission over a fire incident, ECW wrestlers jumping ship, the economy crashing in Mexico effecting the wrestling industry, whether or not Randy Savage is injured, and much more!

Yes, we're going back to one of the worst years in professional wrestling history. The good news is this "New Generation" show is actually somewhat fondly remembered by wrestling historians. Diesel has been the WWF Champion for a loooong time and business has been way down. So, now what? We're going back to Bret Hart! There are also some pretty weird match-ups in the Survivor Series elimination matches, but it makes for some interesting situations. Women from All Japan Women's Wrestling are also imported for a 4-on-4 match that was...tolerable. Troy is flying solo through the majority of this one, but "The Main Event Collector" Greg is joining him for the actual review of the event itself. In the news, everything is going to crap for WWF, WCW, ECW, and the USA indies (financially-wise). WCW and WWF and doing battle in the ratings as Nitro is trying to heat itself up and fans are turning on Hulk Hogan. This and much more on the show!
