[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the rumor going around the net hinting WWE is going to reform American Alphas when Jordan comes back.

Both guys singles careers have been pretty much busts in terms of direction since WWE doesn't know what to do with Gable and Jordan's "Son of Angle" story was terrible.

[Sepholio]

Jeez Test and Big Cass kind of have a strange resemblance.

I thought Jordan was the best thing on Raw next to Strowman prior to getting injured

[Fignuts]

Yeah, Jordan was getting into the role well as a heel.

Gable's singles career just started. Hasn't started out incredible or anything, but I'd give it some time before I labeled it a bust.

[Emperor Smeat]

Might have been a bit harsh but still stand by the Angle storyline being really terrible for him overall. Him slowly getting more comfortable as a heel was good but his heel turn was also only due to him just replacing Ambrose for the storyline with Rollins.

Sort of like how Ziggy's big push only happened because Reigns was injured or Ryback's big push because of Cena. Once both served their purpose, they got depushed badly afterwards.

With Gable, feel his singles run has been a bust because WWE doesn't know what they want to do with him. They don't give him enough time to do anything meanigful besides lose a bunch of matches. If they reform American Alphas, it would only confirm that feeling.

[Savio]

Sort of like how Ziggy's big push only happened because Reigns was injured.

Which?

[Tom Guycott]

I'm watching Starrcade 94... yeah I know I'm a glutton for punishment. But I love bad WCW PPV's. Anyway...


Jean Paul Levesque vs Alex Wright... wow. It's so obvious JPL would have been a big star in WCW I can't believe they didn't keep him at all costs. WCW was so stupid when it came to development... Gosh it's disappointing.

He's no Alex Wright

No one is Das Wunderkid

But neither of them is Scott Norton.

[Emperor Smeat]

Which?
Survivor Series 2014.

Everything about his big showing at the event and the push afterwards was originally meant for Reigns. Its why WWE quickly pulled the plug on Ziggy afterwards since they didn't want that rub to stick to him.

[Tom Guycott]

Neville should have moved up to the heavyweight titles after losing to enzo. Nothing more he could do as a cruiser.

Absolutely. He was very, very good for a while there.

"BUT HE'S JUST SO TINYYY!!!" - Vince (most likely a direct quote)

Nothing of much good comes from the "this is all you are" division except to become the champion of a show nobody watches. Just because you're subjectively "small".

Oh, where he was the survivor that pulled the team from the brink? I pretty much forgot that happened, so their tactic worked on me at least.

Eli Drake is what happens when you take the worst qualities of The Miz, throw them into the local firefighter who thinks he's a local legend, and then get them to pretend to be The Rock without any natural charisma or personality. He is abysmal. I would rather see Braun Strowman try and wrestle for an hour than listen to one Eli Drake promo.

Eli seems to have gotten somehow more generic than the Dollar Tree Rock he established himself as. The only upside I see is that he's one of the few "homegrown" guys they put much into. He's still pretty shit, but at least he's their shit than someone who made their name in WWE first with an instant rocket up their ass or got misused into near oblivion like Matt Morgan or Kazuchka Okada.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think they will give the Shield a solid run together before splitting them up to 3 way each other.

I think this is the way they will go.

I don't know about epic. I mean you know I'm a huge wrestling fan and I've never seen a Sara Del Ray match. I actually had to google who Sara Amato was. And just using me as a bar, if I don't know who that is, how would that be epic for that confrontation to take place? What I'm saying is if I don't know who Sara Amato is, how would the majority of The Universe?

I guess they could run some promo's about Ronda's training and have clips of Sara mentoring Ronda and talking about how awesome she is. Only for after Ronda gets her first singles victory to look upon the stage to see Sara. Sara walks down, they hug, hands are raised in victory and then BAM. Whatever Sara's move is. "I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING AND YOU NEVER GAVE ME ANYTHING! NOW I'M GOING TO TAKE IT ALL AWAY"... But still, she'd better be awesome because I don't know who she is.

I was using epic in a relative sense. It'd be about her presence and the idea that the woman who puts together the women's matches for them would be wrestling in one. It wouldn't be a consciously cognitive response for many people, but the only audience left is one that would contain enough people to pop at the idea and the rest are sheep that will follow.

:lol: at the rumor going around the net hinting WWE is going to reform American Alphas when Jordan comes back.

Both guys singles careers have been pretty much busts in terms of direction since WWE doesn't know what to do with Gable and Jordan's "Son of Angle" story was terrible.

The Jason Jordan storyline is the perfect example of how nothing matters in WWE anymore. It should have killed Jordan dead, talented as he is, but they can literally just jam it down your throat week after week until you roll over and accept it.

Chad Gable has got serious babyface potential. I don't think WWE wants to see it though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Remember Paul London? I used to love that guy. It's a shame that his attitude and WWE didn't really mix. He was up there for a good five years though, back during a time when they didn't keep everybody around forever. He was one of the first indy darlings to take WWE up on an offer, and probably got there a few years too early, but they probably needed someone to go up in that experimental rocket and not catch on so that the CM Punks and Daniel Bryans of the world could follow.

But for a long time Paul London was in that discussion of the top talent not in WWE. He was right up there with AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, CM Punk and Bryan Danielson. There's a parallel universe where he doesn't sign with the WWE as early as he does, doesn't smack up against politics, makes better personal decisions and doesn't burn out, and probably signs with the WWE sometime this decade and ends up getting a huge push as the hottest free agent to come to WWE in a long time.

[Evil Vito]

London and Kendrick had like a 3 hour shoot interview special a year or two after they'd both left WWE. They were high as a kite and it was fucking hilarious. Kendrick called Vince a cocksucker, and London said he'd be happy when Vince was dead.

Kinda amazing Kendrick managed to work up enough goodwill to come back, really.

[Mr. Nerfect]

All you need to do is eat humble pie. If London called Triple H and was like "Look, I was young and stupid and a frustrated struggling artist," I think the door would be open to him. I doubt they would ever push him to the moon, but they see value in Kendrick, because he's adjusted his mentality and serves a function both on-camera and behind the scenes. It's just a case of whether or not London would want to, and I think his decision to stay away is as valid as Kendrick's to go back.

[Cool King]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/lRJd6ErG7qo" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Mr. Nerfect]

Haha, basically.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Would be surreal if London showed up in NXT, had a great match with Adam Cole, they promoted him to the main roster and he and Kendrick had a really entertaining feud with The New Day or something, and they ended up moving tons of merch because they actually let them talk and have personalities this time, and Vince McMahon was in these photos hugging London and shit. I give it close to a 0% chance of happening, but stranger things have happened.

[Emperor Smeat]

Didn't London once get punished by the WWE because he accidentally smiled during the Vince limo explosion segment?

A more competent company would have been able to parlay that flub into something interesting but instead he got berated by Steph or someone else for "ruining" the segment since WWE doesn't like to flex their plans.

[Mr. Nerfect]

God, that pissed me off at the time. London is an idiot for not being able to read the situation, but there was no storyline reason for him to do anything else. It was a case of all wrestlers being gentrified and basically falling into "stand at the top of the ramp and forget who you are feuding with" mode, and it being the wrong time to try and stand out.

I don't think London should have been surprised by the heat that he got, but there's something to the point of WWE having stupid fucking tropes that make no sense. And I think he was tarred with the brush of having "no personality" because anyone small that came from the indies is someone that obviously can't talk. I actually remember him being pretty awful at promos, haha, but he never got a chance to develop that gimmick or personality, which is there and comes out more readily throughout his performance. But he and Kendrick almost never got the chance to say anything and then it was supposed to be a surprise when they didn't get any more over than they were heading in as exciting flippy guys?

[Mr. Nerfect]

There was an episode of Raw where Edge was feuding with Triple H, and Edge got assistance from Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. They sent London & Kendrick, who were feuding with Cade & Murdoch at the time, out there to help run off the heels. "Cool, six-man tag" I thought. Triple H then Pedigrees Paul London as Brian Kendrick has to stand around like a fucking goof as Triple H just plays around with his buddy. Then Kendrick also got a Pedigree and Raw fucking sucked.

That was like a decade ago. I doubt Triple H has changed as much as people say he has. I think he just signs those sorts of guys now so that he can get over as the savior of wrestling, just like he tried to get over as a heel by working the internet fans too. They used to make him so insecure, haha.

[Mr. Nerfect]

London & Kendrick and Gregory Helms were basically the SmackDown marketing over here in 2006/2007, because if you remember, SmackDown fucking sucked that year. They were all over the commercials to try and make it look exciting, haha.

Any of you guys ever read Capitol Revolution by Tim Hornbaker? It's a book on the history of WWE that takes you from Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt founding the company to just before Vince Jr.'s national expansion. Definitely would recommend if you wanna learn about the stars of the company's early history like Antonino Rocca, Buddy Rogers, Johnny Valentine, Dr. Jerry Graham, Karl Von Hess, Killer Kowalski and Bobo Brazil. Imagine tag teams headlining and drawing like Fabulous Kangaroos, Antonino Rocca and Miguel Pérez, Graham Brothers, Tolos Brothers and Don Curtis and Mark Lewin.

Adored that book. His N.W.A book is tremendous too.

[Mr. Nerfect]

God, I'm remembering 2006 now:

* Edge losing the WWE Title in three weeks

* John Cena coming down on a spaceship

* "Kurt Angle doesn't know how to work heel"

* Rey Mysterio riding the legacy of Eddie

* WrestleMania 22 feeling like everybody was working with the wrong opponent

* Vince & Shane vs. Shawn & God

* DX reunion

* Big Show's ass

* "Sure, Vince -- we'll give those OVW guys a chance"

* Joey Styles not being good enough to call Backlash

* ECW

* Kurt Angle leaving

* The Great Khali's initial push

* Rey's title reign

* December to Dismember being a show where I could literally feel the death of Paul Heyman's passion for wrestling

* Here you go, Brent Albright -- we're going to throw you onto SmackDown with no fanfare or promotion, and you new name is "Gunner Scott"

* Mark Henry was not Hall of Pain Mark yet

* TNA hires Kurt Angle! Then they also hire Vince Russo...

You'd think that given the shift in how Vince McMahon wants his stars to presented, tag team wrestling would have made more of a comeback. I suppose he does occasionally put a super-team together and did run with DX and tried a tag team main event in 2011. And there was The Shield. But with the WWE brand being the most important thing to Vince when it comes to drawing, I'm surprised he hasn't pushed a tag team as the centerpiece of a show, so he can have more stars, as he defines them.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The sad thing is that they're not even a bad-bad in the sense that things went wrong. That is just how bland-bad they are these days. In many ways, the show went off exactly as it was supposed to.

[Cool King]

I can kinda get what you're saying as I kinda feel the same way about Triple H.

For the longest time, I've always thought Triple H's views and actions towards NXT hasn't always been 100% genuine and has had other reasons behind what he and the WWE put out there.

I just can't help but think that if NXT was around from 2002-2005, Triple H would be nowhere near as invested as he is with NXT now. In fact, I think he would actually be against the idea all together and try to get that across to Vince via Stephanie.

I just find it weird that all the big indy names didn't make it to the WWE until Triple H had quietly retreated from the main event scene and full time wrestling.

It's kinda like he thought "I've had my fun and been the centre of attention for a good period of time, now I don't wrestle so much, so I can now get those good indy guys here and look forward to the praise I'll get from the fans and those guys on the internet."

Something like that anyway.

It's hard to put into words but hopefully you all understand what I'm getting at.

* WrestleMania 22 feeling like everybody was working with the wrong opponent

WrestleMania 22 was pretty bad.

It didn't feel like WrestleMania at all.

I know 100% what you mean, and I concur.

They've spent millions on this performance facility, and they run NXT at a deficit. In that time, which wrestlers has it produced? Charlotte? Bliss? Braun? I'll even give them Roman. But what about that list of talent is significantly better than the ones that would come out of OVW?

It feels like a vanity project to me. Functionality-wise, NXT has failed to create new stars. If it is supposed to function as developmental, I really think it's overrated. Tom Prichard in a warehouse would probably get better results.

[Mr. Nerfect]

It was just two years ago that Triple H made sure he was in the biggest main event, in terms of attendance, in WrestleMania history. That ego is still there. He's switched from putting himself over this talent to getting them to put over what a visionary he is. All the heels he crowns champions are secondary to him -- see: Rollins, Seth; Owens, Kevin -- and there's that whole Jinder thing from last year (which was actually hilarious).

I dunno, I'm just not on the "Triple H is good for wrestling" bandwagon. I think his ego is in fostering that image for himself while Vince is in power.

[Mr. Nerfect]

WrestleMania 22 was pretty bad.

It didn't feel like WrestleMania at all.

It felt very low-key for WrestleMania.

I remember being very...meh at the show. Edge, Shawn Michaels, John Cena and The Undertaker all felt like they were in the wrong matches. The only thing that actually felt right heading into the show was Mickie/Trish, and that's why it was my favorite thing on the show. Shawn and Vince had a fun match, and Edge and Foley delivered what they were trying to deliver, but I couldn't enjoy them because they felt...disjointed from where the story should be.

Not sure what his thing w/ tag teams are. Recently I read that ratings spike when New Day is on.

[Bad News Gertner]

His dad was the same way about tag teams. On MSG shows they were mainly on last and would go to curfew draws quite a bit, back when being on last didn't mean being the main event. Title changes more often than not happened on the weekly T.V.You'd never see the IC belt and World Title change hands in T.V. It's never been booked as the Centrepiece of the promotion.

[Emperor Smeat]

If rumors are to be believed, seems the reason why Cena and Nikki broke up is a lot more juicer than previously told.

Supposedly Nikki didn't break up with Cena because she finally got fed up with his marriage and children non-commitment but instead because she found out he was cheating on her.

May or may not have involved Becky since she broke up with her own boyfriend around the same time Nikki's breakup went public and she upposedly has been hanging out with Cena.

If its true, that would be the 2nd relationship in a row for Cena that ended with him getting busted for cheating.

Not if he pulled a Smackdwn booking with their relationship assuming the stuff about Carmella is true and he dated Becky first. Right when things were starting to look bright for Becky, she gets quickly tossed to the side again.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Observer and Post Wrestling, a possible reason why WWE now has longer over-runs for PPVs is due to them using a new metric to pad Network numbers in fiscal reports.

Supposedly they now track things based on minutes watched instead of views or something else so they can artificially boost the amount of interest the Network has as a service. Making PPVs longer lets them boost minutes watched per subscriber per month for reports.

Seeing Lance Cade here made me think of another random moment. I remember in 2008, they'd sent Kendrick back to SmackDown to give him at least something resembling a push.

London on the other hand was just left alone on Raw as an enhancement guy. And I seem to remember Jericho (managed by Cade) squashing London and then cutting a promo on him.

And since this was right during the HBK feud, I was thinking maybe London and HBK would team up to face Jericho and Cade.

Silly me. :lol:

[Evil Vito]

Apparently London and Kendrick haven't even spoken in years. Basically not since Kendrick went back to WWE.

Sad :( they were best buds. That being said we've all had friends we've drifted apart from for one reason or another.

[Cool King]

I didn't know Becky and her boyfriend broke up.

I also didn't know that Carmella and Big Cass broke up.

By the looks of it, if the rumours are true, Cena seems to sit and wait for relationships to end before pouncing on the newly single female.

[Anybody Thrilla]

That is simply atrocious. Reducing the quality of your product for numbers :nono:


I guess you have to do shit like this if you're a publicly traded company

Longer matches doesn't necessarily mean worse matches.

[Danny Electric]

If they had any sense they'd have Ambrose team up with Reigns in a tag match and then have Reigns turn on Ambrose but their trying once again to get him over with the crowd with this Jinder feud.

I've noticed with the recent T-Shirts that the WWE's graphic design department seem to be going through a phase of making logos for the wrestlers that mostly just consist of their initials.

https://s31.postimg.cc/u47dm3h1n/image.png

Is that Triple H's logo?

Cause it looks like an H with a huge nose.

[Cool King]

It's Jeff Hardy's.

[Sixx]

Weird.

[Cool King]

They’re pretty awful logos.

I wouldn't say they're "awful" as such.

They're "contemporary" but at the same time, not very creative.

[Cool King]

The most creative one there is probably Jeff Hardy's.

Followed by Bobby Lashley's, The IIconics', Carmella's and then Samoa Joe's.

[Sixx]

I can only recognize Cena's. Whose are the others?

[Sixx]

Oh, haha. That's Carmella, not Cena. Fair enough.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I wouldn't say they're "awful" as such.

They're "contemporary" but at the same time, not very creative.

I get what you're saying, but I'll play:

"L3"

Samoa Joe's looks like it is missing "W" at the end.

My favorite thing about Carmella's is that is you rotate it you can make "C-U-N". If only her hands were positioned slightly differently...

Silhouettes in the letters of the word they can't spell. Nothing says "Women's Revolution" like the shapely outline of a dumb sex object with lesbian undertones.

Jeff's got a warped green beard because they need to get a "J" in there. Is a green "J" supposed to represent something?

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh, haha. That's Carmella, not Cena. Fair enough.

To be fair, rumors suggest that they've been spending a lot of time together.

Carmella is money and Cena is broke.

They should just let asuka design everyone's shirts. She's a far better graphic designer than whoever the WWE is employing.

Nia is bullying people on Twitter who are pointing out that she hurt Alexa Bliss:

"Haha!! If you haven’t heard. Alexa is perfectly fine. She couldn’t beat me in the ring, so she blamed it on a fake injury. Trust me, she is perfectly fine. She’s scheduled to be on tour, so you and all your troll friends can come worship your coward goddess."

Laughing at fans, downplaying your responsibility for hurting others, bravado, talking trash, calling people "troll" and "coward." I dunno -- Nia sounds a bit like a bully. And if Alexa is such a coward, what do you call a woman who fights someone half her size?

[GD]

Longer matches doesn't necessarily mean worse matches.

I don't have an issue with longer matches. They (mostly) add to the storytelling aspect of the show. That being said, I am not keen to see 2-3 segment television matches featuring No Way Jose, Corbin, or even Jinder Mahal.

As far as longer dual-branded PPVs are concerned, I'd prefer more matches on the pre-show as opposed to the discussion panel. It could give the cruiserweights, tag team specialists, and mid to lower mid-carders some much needed exposure. And while we are at it, why not add some backstage skits like the good old days? Have the talent show some personality.

According to PWI, Charlotte is going to be out till at least MitB due to one of her implants ruptured recently.

Charlotte Flair will be undergoing surgery to repair a ruptured implant, PWInsider.com has confirmed. One source believes Flair will undergo the surgery following the WWE European tour that kicks off this week.

Not returning the calls is pretty low, but that’s if Batista is being honest. He’s made some wild claims in the past. Triple H would be jealous of Batista’s success though.

Probably a safe bet Lita is going to get the blacklist treatment by the WWE soon. She publicly called out the WWE for being hypocrites and liars relating to their PR claims involving the Women's Revolution and the Saudi show.

On WWE not having women compete at the Greatest Royal Rumble: “I understand that they are a business, a global business and they are always looking to expand their global presence. However, I do feel this was a direct conflict of interest with them maintaining any integrity or truth to the fact that they say they would like to push forward women, their roles and their reputations in this business as anything resembling equal to a male. Make the money, that’s fine, but don’t try to cover it up. Don’t say, “No, we are doing this because in the future we would like to help progress their culture forward!” No, you want the money, you’re a business and businesses make money. That’s okay. From my perspective over here, I don’t own your business so that’s your call. From a PR perspective don’t say you are doing it because, “We want to help progress that culture forward.” Uh no, it’s a direct conflict of interest, in my opinion.”

How old is he in this clip? cause he looks 50 at least.

According to PWInsider, New Day's time as a group might be numbered. Supposedly WWE has plans for Big E to get a big singles push soon.

Both Woods and Kingston have been public before about when they are ready to disband, they want Big E to get a big push. Same for Kingston hinting he wants to retire once the group is done.

[Shadrick]

"Big" singles push.

a win over fandango and then getting lost in the shuffle? pfffft i'll believe it when i see it.

One can only hope. E is probably the closest person they could have be "The Guy" outside of Braun.

Holy shit. Never thought I'd agree with some feminist-sounding bullshit, but she's actually right. It's feminist-sounding, but not feminist, really.

A woman is in the right. What's next, Asians with big dicks?

Feminist views are actually pretty spot on and logical when you're not dealing with feminists who are zealots and do their best to go out of their way to be sensible. I'm a feminist myself (and a lot of people are when they find out the true definition of it) but I often cringe hard when I hear someone who calls themself a feminist say some goofy shit like "WHY AREN'T THERE WOMEN IN THE NBA? THATS SEXIST"

[Bad News Gertner]

And you'd reply "because women aren't as good as men" amirite?

The principles of feminism are sound. Unfortunately, the zealotry makes it completely unappealing in every which way.

If "allies" dare dissent on an opinion they are considered enemies and shunned as anti-woman which is rarely the case. Therefore, feminism is not for me. Heaven forbid, for instance, you bring up a different argument about the gender pay gap. Not everything is so cut and dry that THERE IS ONLY ONE RIGHT OPINION.

But treating women with the same respect I do men isn't that difficult for me and there's no need to virtue signal about it. Though I'm sure there's a feminist waiting around the corner to tell me I mansplained something to someone.

Good.

Their shtick got really old a hell of a long time ago. I'm surprised they've managed to drag it out for as long as they have.

I'm a bit surprised at Kofi wanting to retire though. He doesn't seem that old that he needs to retire, but if he wants to, then cool.

I think The New Day disbanding will hurt Woods the most. I can't imagine him amounting to much as a singles competitor. I think if he were to have more success after The New Day, it would be as part of another Tag Team or more likely as a manager.

Big E getting a big push would be alright I guess, just as long as he changed his finisher. The Big Ending is a terrible finisher and I've been saying that since he debuted on the main roster back in 2012. A man as big and strong as Big E should have a more devastating finisher.

[Evil Vito]

Kofi isn't that old (turns 37 in August) but he had done nothing as a singles guy since 2011. He was barely getting booked by the time New Day formed in 2014. I can see why he would prefer to leave after New Day split, because it's unlikely he'd be given anything substantial to do on his own.

I feel like Braun would benefit from using the Grenade (Fale, not Taylor) instead of the powerslam.

For E... actually, give him the Grenade and give Braun the Oklahoma Stampede.

The WWE have photos on their site of wrestlers and their mothers as it's Mother's Day on Sunday for around 127 counties.

There's 50 photos but most of them are of The Bella's with their mother. They have 13 photos, whereas almost everyone else has around one or two.

[Emperor Smeat]

According to the Observer, WWE is almost at "idiot proof" status in regards to their future and any potential big mistakes causing uncertainty with investors.

Meltzer also stated WWE is on pace to set a new and massive financial record by 2020 to the point they have no real reason to please crowds or fix their shows in the meantime.

WWE Network is only at 40 - 50% what they expected to reach by now. However, the massive increase in TV rights fees, the company is almost “idiot-proof” as far as many years in the future goes ...

They are expected to set an earnings record this year, and by 2020 will be so far above any year in company history. "It’s no longer about pleasing consumers primarily or creating scenarios for intriguing matches. That is still part of it, but even if they fail at that, they are fine."

[Mr. Nerfect]

Pull out your financial support and switch off if you want change.

Are they certain they are going to get that massive rights fee increase and that the Network is going to continue to grow? Aren't subs only slightly up after they tried to give WrestleMania away for free?

[Emperor Smeat]

At this point, tv fees are pretty much carrying the company so the more it keeps going up, the less WWE has to care about other areas. Since UFC got a sizeable increase with their deal, the common perception is WWE is going to get a sizeable increase with their new deal.

WWE pretty much gave up on trying to hit 4-5 million subs by now or even be at a legit paid 2+ million which would make any lingering concerns from switching from the old PPV a non-factor. Them giving away Mania for free for years hasn't impacted them at all in terms of revenues.

[Bad News Gertner]

Oh God, I forgot about Bradshaw's Singles push when they first split up the APA. Fighting Raven right now for the Hardcore Title.

D Lo Brown and the Coach on commentary

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

Heat always depressed me.

[Bad News Gertner]

Bradshaw wins with a Clothesline From Hell with a cow bell rope tied around his arm.

[Bad News Gertner]

Yes! Planet Stasiak! What an awesome gimmick.

Fighting Sean O'Haire. The Natural Born Thirllas explode! Had no idea O'Haire was in the Raw Roster in 2002.

O'Haire wins

[Bad News Gertner]

Women's Title match with Crash Holly as the Special ref lol. Jacqueline vs Molly Holly which I've now seen on 4 episodes of Heat in a 6 month span and they have the exact same match every single time.

[Bad News Gertner]

We Want Puppies chants throughout the match. Lol Crash fucks over Jackie.

[Bad News Gertner]

Haha NWO Big Show vs Matt Hardy as the Main Event of Heat.

Big Show wins in a pretty good match

[Jordan]

I watched the first few episode of heat the other day. Going back the worst parts are the DX promo's or when someone wants to come out and promo for 10 minutes. Best part is all of the wrestling is pretty damn snug and the guys are all big as fuck.

[Jordan]

Also there was one point early in the show where the entire ringside was littered with signs from the audience, so unsafe I can't believe they didn't have someone pick them up.

[Jordan]

I've also been watching WCW summer 2000. Man this shit is intense. First of all it's nowhere near as bad as it was living through it. Watching the way the deal with Booker becoming champ for the first time on Nitro was fantastic, so if you miss the show then it seems pretty epic. One more thing. Holy shit what was going on during this era? They drop bomb there is to drop verbally and it's not beeped, which is cool. Also go watch any segment with Goldberg and Steiner and watch how fucking hard these guy hit each other. My god, I really undervalued those guys during that time, their work was fantastic.

[Jordan]

Yeah it's comparable to that saying "if a tree falls in a forest"... you have to really want to watch WCW at that time to know what happened. While management kept changing in those last years and the direction of the company was going nowhere fast. The physicality of the matches is really awesome. They really started hitting each other to try and pick up ratings. I'm impressed by all the Goldberg stuff I'm rewatching. I used to shit on him all the time. But I don't mind that he's got two moves, they are fucking awesome. They kill people. He's Bruno with moves. Also he comes off like a goddamn football player. The way he grapples with guys is so physical. Really love Goldberg/Steiner stuff. Also love Nash on the mic but man he was bad in the ring at the end. Booker T though, wow what a great champion. He was the man. I wish WCW lived. :'(

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

If that makes sense.

[Jordan]

In putting over WCW at the end I must emphasize how shit Russo is and how his booking and philosophy expedited the downfall of the company. The thing with Russo is he doesn't really like wrestling it shows. He has no respect for anything the company did, no respect for wrestling. Plus literally nobody gave a fuck to see him on camera, ever.

It was such a stretch to assume the WCW audience would've had any idea who he is or given a shit about him for one second considering he was simple a behind the scenes "writer" for WWF. Its that kind of logic that bombed WCW. There was this moment on Nitro where Madden corrects Scott Hudson for saying pro wrestling "It's SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT now Hudson you know that!" What the fuck!? You are going to adopt the bylaws of Vince McMahon in your own promotion? Is that a tail tucked between your legs or just a very small penis?

I have to stop you right there. I'm equally as much of a dick to my friends as they are to me. It's actually pretty ruthless. All nationalities. A rainbow of fuckfaces.

But when it comes to certain racial things, my white friends tend to tread lightly because they're speaking from an outside perspective and they're still trying to discern where the line is. I tell them all the time I'm not sensitive like that if what they're saying/laughing at isn't vicious or malevolent, but they still dont do it out of respect, which is cool I guess. They don't make jokes about me possibly getting pulled over, or becoming a hashtag, or whatever for obvious reasons.
