Yeah. There were guests here and there I enjoyed because they showed genuine enthusiasm and you could tell they really wanted to be there.

But so many of them were just there to hock their upcoming movie or TV show and they looked like they couldn't get out of there fast enough.

You didn't like Hugh Jackman punching Dolph Ziggler? Or Seth Green doing whatever it was he did?

Evil Vito 02-02-2019 12:32 AM

I was on vacation when I was 10 and on the Monday night of the trip my dad and his gf who both hated wrestling allowed me to watch Nitro as they were going to be out and about that evening.

They got back right near the end of the episode, just in time to see Macho Man slap Torrie Wilson and throw Gorgeous George against a wall.

Is it easy for you guys to watch Chris Benoit matches today?

Bad News Gertner 02-02-2019 12:35 AM

Pretty much every DX promo from January until the Nation feud . Been watching all the 98 Raw's in order and those segments are just fucking cringe worthy. Like they are hard to sit through.

It's never bothered me. Even right after he killed his family.

If I'm watching a show he's on I'm always cognizant of the fact that I'm watching an old show and don't focus on the fact that Benoit or anyone else is dead.

That said there was a SmackDown episode where Bischoff gets front row seats only to discover with horror that Benoit and Eddie had defected from Raw. And Michael Cole just goes "Eric Bischoff looks like he's seen two ghosts!"

I could NOT believe they didn't edit that line out.

The DX promos from the Little People's Court time were embarrassing. Little People's Court itself was the worst ever.

Mr. Nerfect 02-02-2019 01:45 AM

DX fucking sucked in 2006. I actually forgot that they put them back together in 2009 or something. I had blocked it from my memory. A lot of their Attitude era stuff was overrated too.

I remember making an emotional post about it. There was certainly a time period when I felt uncomfortable watching his matches. While I don't go out of my way to see his matches, I don't skip them anymore.

Bad News Gertner 02-02-2019 09:58 AM

Wrestlers are by and large not great people. Things have changed alot nowadays, but if I stopped watching wrestlers due to shitty things they've done, it would wipe out 90% of the 80's and 90's wrestlers

Jordan 02-02-2019 11:12 AM

I do watch Benoit matches usually, I don't recall skipping them. However I tend to avoid WWE events that he worked on. Watching him in WCW doesn't really bother me as much because there is a kind time line separation I tend to make. However, I do think about it every time I see him and usually end up feeling like what a waste of talent. Dude was probably the best worker ever minus the ability to connect with the crowd. But usually his work was was serious and believable he didn't have to pander or play to the audience ever.

I watch a ton of old wrestling but I rarely watch anything WWE after 98. Around the time Smackdown! came on it just gets muddled for me. Back in 99 I didn't have access to UPN so I never got in the habit of watching Smackdown! and to be honest I've never been in a long term viewing habit with the show. It always felt extra to me. Mostly because my fandom includes more than just WWE.

Savio 02-02-2019 06:03 PM

Kathy Lee and Hoda segment was really bad.

This.

How many do you think fucked underage ringrats?

Mr. Nerfect 02-02-2019 09:35 PM

To be fair, there is a difference between being a sleazy piece of shit and being a murdering piece of shit. I've always been able to watch his work, but it's hard to actively engage with him as one of the greatest of all-time, even though intellectually he is. It has tainted his work to some degree.

GD 02-02-2019 11:44 PM

This was certainly difficult to watch.

Of course I've only seen that on youtube but all those segments were embarassing. I think what made me cringe the most was when they ressed up as McMahons. So unfunny.

That segment from Tough Enough was cringeworthy and difficult to watch. I am unsure if you're being sarcastic.

Sixx 02-03-2019 05:27 AM

Ok then. I was not being sarcastic at all.

I thought it was hilarious. What's cringeworthy is that they ended up hiring her.

SlickyTrickyDamon 02-03-2019 01:06 PM

That she lasted longer than any of them also

Anybody Thrilla 02-03-2019 01:07 PM

Funky was certainly on a roll.

Half of the comments from members on here are just as juvenile probably even more so pretty hilarious seeing y'all bash DX.

Anybody Thrilla 02-03-2019 01:41 PM

Can someone show me one good Black Widow post? Just one will do.

Our comments and DX bashing is juvenile? As opposed to what? This?

Oh fuck! I don't even need to click on this video. I know what it is about.

GD 02-06-2019 05:09 AM

This was probably (one of) the most disturbing segment(s) I've ever seen. That chairshot to the cranium...fuck!
