of when WWE brought certain angles to the table
Like what were your initial thoughts when the moment happened on TV? Did you expect it to be good? Did you think it would be a bad idea? What?
nWo- When Vince turned around in his chair, to reveal the nWo logo, I marked out. I had a firend who got me into the nWo, we had those gay nWo keggers, and I was dying to see the nWo in the WWF. Then it happened. Now I can't compare my experiences with watching the nWo in WCE compared to when it came to WWF, but I thought it was gonna be just awesome. Initially, something weird in me wanted to see The Rock Rock Bottom Hogan and side with Hall and Nash at WrestleMania X8, but looking back, it would've been a dumb idea. Then the nWo started turning into shit throught the spring of 2002. It was not good. Hogan had turned face, Hall was done, which left Nash all alone. Then Nash slipped and tore his quad. I just knew it was over. The nWo was done
The InVasion- Having not watched WCW barely at all in the past, I felt the same way you all feel about the Invasion. Not gonna waste any more space explaining the obvious. WHen I was watching Nitro on vacation, I saw Vince doing a backstage promo. All of a sudden he mentions that he bought WCW. It was truly a what the fuck moment. I just knew I had to go back home to be able to watch TV again, because at the time, I was so busy with my vacation that I was never around a TV. My initial thought was that Shane would be the onscreen owner of WCW Nitro and Thunder. Pretty much a WWF owned WCW. But it ended up being just crap
The Rock as a heel- I was waiting for The Rock to turn heel forever (since 2000) and I sat through all his tired 2001-2002 shit just dying to see him turn. Yup, I go on another 3 month vacation and I miss The Rock's return to SD! challenging Hogan to a match at No Way Out. BUT, I managed to come back home in late Febuary to catch WWE Bottom Line to see The Rock 's heel promo on Toronto the night after No Way Out. This delivered, but for some reason, I was expecting him to be like his old Corporation days. The only downside about his heel run, IMO, was that he played the coward role too much. Also in 2001, when he Rock Bottom Vince, I marked out. But then he Rock Bottomed Shane. It was still good, but not "good" good
John Cena- Yeah, loved him in 2003. Cringed at him during his US Title run, but marked out when he jumped to RAW. He even went old school and did a rap for Christian. After that, the downfall began.
Goldberg- I didn't mind his WWE run at all. Around WrestleMania 20 though, he just sucked
Brock Lesnar- Awesome in the summer of 2002. One thing I will always remember was him wiping Hogan's blood over his chest. And SummerSlam 2002.Was kind of dissapointed that they prematurely ejaculated in the fall
Chris Jericho in 2000- I honestly thought he'd be the one to follow Hogan, Austin, and The Rock as the next biggest cross over superstar in the WWF. But nope. It didn't happen
