It was like he couldn't work though. You saw one RVD match you saw them all. (In WWE and after... again, can't speak for ECW)

[Mr. Nerfect]

It would be deflating as shit to take bumps and know that you’re never going beyond a certain point no matter what you do.

[Lock Jaw]

It was what was best for business.

Yeah, he was over.... but they also realized he wasn't actually that good and it was his "rep" and the "rep of ECW" that people were cheering... and that he could only ever be a B+ player in the big leagues, if that.

He went out, did his routine match, got paid, and went home. He truly didnt care. He's on the record about this.

I don’t think that many people saw him in ECW. He had the rep with a certain segment of the audience, but RVD’s cool factor is what really got him, I think (even though he didn’t appeal to me personally).

Now this is where you're re-writing history. He was the most over guy in the company in 01 and had been the hottest act in the business in the eyes of everyone who knew who he was since 97. His 01 wwf run was electric and his matches were creative and exciting. The cut him off by the balls and killed him completely because he was an ecw guy. He stayed over because everyone knew how good he was even if he wasnt good right then.

[Destor]

Instead of being a wrestler he became a caricature. Stoner surfer guy. Had the same match for a decade.

[Lock Jaw]

Nah, he sucked. His matches were exciting like the first couple of times I saw him, then if he "gave up" after only a few matches, it says a lot about him and his bad attitude. Why should I push that?

Is there a timeline where RVD got picked up by WCW in 1998 or an unfucked 1999? I want to go there.

[Lock Jaw]

I saw "Robbie V" on some random VHS tape that had some WCW on it.... grandpa used to tape like every WCW show, or at least a lot... there's like 70-something tapes still at my parent's house somewhere...

Was never an RVD fan. Always looked like he was punching underwater and never though his work looked sharp.

I’m going to have to go on an RVD binge.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Truly shocked at how many “never got into RVD” comments there are in here

Dude was a generational talent.

Guy was in an angle with Steve Austin, the Rock, Chris Jericho, the Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Booker T, and multiple McMahons and got the most over despite his side losing.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

The Jerry Lynn/RVD series is probably still in my top 10 feuds of all time

At least we can all agree that RVD is way better than that loser christian.

If we’re ranking the Alliance members Christian is definitely top 10. But nowhere close to Robert Van Dammit

Well yeah. With rvd at least he was over :lol:

Was Lance Storm doing that on purpose? It’s a pretty clever way to get the ECW fans to turn on you if you want to be a heel. I don’t agree with the psychology of throwing a weak chair shot unless you’re supposed to be ineffective though.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Lance does seem like the sort of guy who wouldn’t like hitting someone over the head with a chair.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t know why, but it just register with me that Bret Hart worked that much for WWE. Just fucking weird. Everything seemed so spaced apart back then, but 2010 was only 3 years after Chris Benoit. We’re almost as far removed from 2010 as 2010 was from 1997.

Imagine being Heath Slater and how surreal it must have been working Bret at Madison Square Garden. When’s that guy getting out of Impact Wrestling and taking his throne back in WWE?

[Lock Jaw]

Waiting for Slater to come back to fulfill the 3MB destiny and become world champion

[Mr. Nerfect]

Sadly, I think he’ll be the Xavier Woods of the group. But he should still get a Hall of Fame nod.

He was crazy over in 2001. Definitely the most "must watch" guy on the roster. That match he had with Jeff Hardy was so great.

Hmmm, dunno if it has anything to do with Hebner deciding to say the screwjob was a work, but Bret was also at the same event speaking and went on a tirade about how Goldberg shouldn't be in the HoF and WWE needs to remove him.

Sucks to hear about Nash's son. RIP

[Evil Vito]

Ugh.....poor Big Kev :( absolutely terrible

[Mr. Nerfect]

I’m a fan of Bret’s. I don’t even think of him as bitter. It’s a reductive way of avoiding his criticisms of wrestling, as it is with Punk — or anyone dismissed with it. But he really needs to back off on Goldberg imo. Was Goldberg the most pristine worker in 1999? No. But he is one of wrestling’s few megastars. He’s put the asses in the seats and is still an attraction to this day.

Owen broke someone’s neck in the ring. Austin broke someone’s neck in the ring. Goldberg fucked up a spot. It sucks. But the crusade against him 25 years later is a bit much.

[Mr. Nerfect]

That’s kinda what I assumed when it comes to someone that age going so suddenly. He’s had trouble with Kevin in the past two (domestic disturbance). Just a rough situation for those invested.

[Maluco]

That sucks so much. I have been listening to the podcast at night after work and he is always mentioning him and always had a big smile when he was talking about him. You could tell he was proud of him.

You could also tell, in other moments, how upset he still was over Hall’s death. I can’t imagine what he is going through.

The Lapsed Fan did a two part podcast on Black Saturday. They are MASSIVE shows though. Totalling 14 hours. Bix and Zellner helped them with research . It's tremendous so far

[Splaya]

It’s just their current version of Metal/Jakked, Velocity, Superstars, etc. They had a Hulu deal and I imagine it’s shown internationally. Since Triple H has taken over he’s changed up the way it’s been used and it actually sounds interesting.

My hope is that it continues on the pace that it does and it becomes something like Sunday Night Heat was.


Fuck if HHH is all about doing nostalgic shit let's bring back Sunday night Heat

[XL]

No paycheck. It’s just not really worth talking about. I woke up in the night and put the show on, at some point the app crashed and signed me out. Couldn’t be bothered to log back in. Went to watch it when I actually got out of bed, again got to the log in and was just like “nah”. Ended up reading the results. I’m sure some of the stuff was decent: ladder match, triple threat main but I don’t feel like I’m missing out.

Though to be fair, I feel the same way about AEW at the minute.

Ladder match and triple threat match are def worth watching. I liked Shawn Michaels comments on being open to feedback, they had 6 matches instead of 5 and he said he thought it overlong.

Was impressed with all in the ladder match , wonder if it will be someone known who is in the person in the red hoodie (Nikki Cross? is a guess for me).

[Seanny One Ball]

It’s on Vice, they seem to be cornering the niche documentary market single handedly right now.

There’s Memphis, Lawler & Kaufman and AWA so far.
I watched Memphis last night and it was good fun seeing both Jarrett’s, Lawler, Jimmy Hart and Dutch Mantell talking without having any detractors. Lawler looks weird nowadays. You can tell he has had a face lift or something but it’s almost like he has a Lego man’s head with real skin on it. Reminds me of Putin now.

Although I really really hope they don't use Lacey Evans, it would also kinda make sense in that she fits this distinctly southern vibe they are going with like Uncle Howdy.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don’t see the point in putting anyone with Bray Wyatt. It’s just going to sink more careers. Have him do his own self-contained thing off on his own somewhere. Has there even been any confirmation of him putting together a faction, or is this just dirt sheer speculation?

Re Lacey Evans: Stick to realism as close as possible. She’s a former marine who cheats to win matches. It’s not a stretch to think of herself trying to present herself as a role model. That’s Bayley’s thing. Stick her in Damage Control.

[Helmsphere]

You will do no such thing to my Bayley. We get it, you find Bray uninteresting. But you keep the stink of Lavey Evans away from damage control.

[Mr. Nerfect]

They’re all meh.

Nah, Bayley is a good worker. I just find it hard to really care about anything she is involved with right now.

[Fignuts]

I know most people aren't going to really care about the match itself but I posted that because Shinsuke being allowed to go to noah sets an interesting precedent. I don't think that would have happened under vince.

[Sepholio]

With Nakamura working NOAH and the stuff with Karl Anderson/NJPW clearly being a work it seems WWE is now opening their own forbidden door.

[Sepholio]

I would not be shocked if Hikuleo attacks Karl at Crown Jewel honestly. I don't think they've given Hikuleo a replacement match at this point so it's not like he's doing anything for NJPW that night that would prevent him from showing up at CJ now.

[Sepholio]

For the record though, Vince let Kenta work NOAH while he was under contract a few years ago, so this isn't entirely unprecedented or something Vince wouldn't let happen.

[Fignuts]

True, but KENTA was about one of the most irrelevant people on the roster at the time, unlike shinsuke who is firmly an upper midcard talent. Additionaly, there was more going on there than just allowing kenta to work rhe show. It was part of bigger plans to work with noah and potentially turn it into an nxt japan

[Sepholio]

I'll agree that Kenta was pretty irrelevant, but I dunno what you've been watching if you think Shinsuke is relevant.

His IC title reign was the worst ever. They didn't even have him on PPVs and he defended it like, what, 3 times maybe on TV? It was a joke. And until Friday night when he was Hit Rows mystery partner he had spent the last few months in NXT.

Still more relevant than kenta was.

Kenta in wwe was like, if 8 tracks were a wrestler.

So…what’s The Miz’s big secret going to be on Raw? Is this simply going to be the first illegitimate love child story under Triple H?

Holy shit, I hope they try to pass Dexter Lumis as The Miz’s son and Miz is like “…I’m 3 years older than you.”

It’s established Miz has tiny balls and as such he can’t produce. Dexter is the biological father of Mayrse’s kids. And somehow Hornswoggle is involved.

Bad take.

Pretty predictable. Nakamura was a fine IC Champion, but he’s held the belt for ages and has mainly been teaming with Boogs. I can see them being the team that eventually unseats The Usos, probably at Mania.

I’m not even sure Zayn holds the belt for that long. I can see Knoxville screwing him out of it. I can see Cesaro getting a little run with it, maybe defending it against Sheamus at Mania.

I didn’t realize we were pretending to be marks?

Nakamura has been protected really well by the company.

He’s knocked off challengers in contenders matches and tag team matches. He also defeated Damian Priest in a champion vs. champion match at Survivor Series (albeit by DQ). Most of his defenses as champion happen on house shows. He successfully defended the title 12 times.

Conversely, in Japan Nakamura’s longest IC Title reign was 313 days and it shared his most defenses in a single reign with 8. He once held the belt for 224 days and defended it 3 times.

Lol, this reminds me of when people used to bitch about how shit Lesnar was as champion because he was never around and never defended the belt. He was actually defending it more frequently than Okada was as IWGP Champion in Japan, which is of course a darling doing darling things in a darling promotion.

Perspective is important. Maybe the average fan sees Nakamura being featured pretty constantly on television and is counting the times he doesn’t defend the belt and thinking “This is damn bullshit!” before throwing their beer can at the TV and swearing off wrestling forever. But maybe some are looking at him being presented in a good light (most of the time anyway) and are getting the impression that he must be a pretty good wrestler.

The secondary belts have been treated way better than they have been in the past. That’s exactly my point. Secondary champions like Nakamura, Priest, Lashley, Rollins, Zayn and Styles have been presented as people you should care about. How many times they defend their belts is trivia for hardcore nerds. Nakamura won the IC Title when he was King Nakamura — the very concept of which meant he beat the King of the Ring for their crown. Is it a silly gimmick? Yes. But he has been featured and made to look good while being champion.

The internet is going to whinge about how nothing matters anymore like Nakamura going through Corbin, Moss, Mahal and Holland every week is some magic recipe to make people care. It’s people on the internet thinking their preference is what other people want to see.

[Sepholio]

Oh man a bunch of Noid novellas explaining it all. How could I ever have been so wrong?

I take it back, Nakamura is the most protected/well used man in all of sports entertainment. Can't believe I forgot the awesome boogs team and their amazing tag team title run after destroying the Usos. And while he may not have gotten that IC title reign, Cesaro got to be the super awesome RoH (totally not dead company) champion for a month. I apologize for my transgressions. Please forgive me XL.

[XL]

You are a quick learner Sepholio. I went back and forth with Mr. Nerfect over Nak’s awful IC title reign before I finally understood that it was not the reign that was awful, but it’s that I was being an awful fan.

I always figured Nakamura would get a retirement in Japan, at the very least. Vince seemed to respect the hell out of him.

Ah yes, the dramatic hyperbole to try and drown out the point. Nakamura has been treated relatively well by the company. He’s no doubt on good money and has had a fairly protected spot.

[Mr. Nerfect]

If I were New Japan, I would do a tournament for a new NEVER Openweight Champion. Hiroshi Tanahashi wins. He can beat Hikuleo somewhere in the tournament. Come Wrestle Kingdom, Karl Anderson has shown up and is looking for the belt he never lost. At the same time, Hikuleo has been trying to prove he can beat Tanahashi. WK is a three-way for the belt. Not too overpowering, but something with story.

Tanahashi retains the belt. A Raw soon after he has a moment with AJ Styles. Tanahashi vs. Styles for the NEVER Openweight Championship at Elimination Chamber. Tanahashi wins the battle of the best hair, and defends his belt against the former Bullet Club leader in the Saudi show his underling used to disrespect it.

[Jordan]

Let's also acknowledge Gerwitz is now consulting for WWE and has just put out an interview that could be considered a tease for The Rock at Mania this year. They do work together on Young Rock you know, so his opinion should have some value.

WWE is really building momentum for the first time (creatively) in YEARS. For me it's still too much to watch, to sit for three hours to enjoy Raw is really impossible. Smackdown is great in highlights but I can't sit through the time required to really invest.

But still, we feel the momentum and I would suppose that a lot of kid fans do watch 5+ hours of WWE weekly no problem.

I think WWE's momentum is going to build up to the point of securing the Rock in the main event of Mania and will also be some kind of huge co-promotion/sponorship with the XFL, to help get that brand's name out there again in a massive way on Peacock with all their subs that will view Mania.
