Ugh.

League of Nations V.2.0

If Bryan wasn't with Brie, I'm 100% certain he'd have left WWE. As it is he probably didn't have all that much of a choice. "Happy wife, happy life."

I was thinking more of Kassius Ohno for a proper Kings of Wrestling reunion.

So apparently The Bellas are on both shows. Is there an explanation for that?

The only explanation is that they like to piss me off.

Nope.

At least when Cena did it, WWE gave an excuse for why he could swap brands even though it didn't make sense once you actually thought about it.

Absolutely since he teased several times about wanting to do some dream matches in the indies before hanging his boots up.

To be fair a bit, Bryan also mentioned a few times that Brie was the reason why he fought as long as he did to get medically cleared in the WWE. Without her, he probably ends up in Neville or Rey Mysterio situation for the long run.

I feel like most of my posts here lately are "I just realized something happened in WWE that makes zero fucking sense. It could just be because I don't watch. Has it actually been explained?"

The answer is always "No."

Cena is still a free agent as far as I know. As soon as that bidding war is over, he's gonna make a fuckton of money.

After a quick search on the Superstars page of WWE.com, it seems like Nikki Bella is still advertised as a Smackdown competitor whereas Brie Bella isn't associated with either brands, which means that she's a "free agent". That being said, John Cena is listed as a RAW competitor, although he's advertised as a "free agent". The amount of inconsistency in the company is baffling considering how anal they're about production.

Cena being a free agent this long pretty much makes both GMs look dumb if neither could lock him up to a deal.

Also sort of a sad state of affairs on WWE's end that they couldn't even get to 2 years with the current Brand Split era before needing stars to appear on both brands.

If they want to float the idea of stars being free agents, it needs to be done for the next Superstar Shakeup. Have a few stars test free agency while others get a bidding war storyline done. Would generate a few weeks worth of really interesting tv.

Marriage number 5, wonder how long this one will last.

I’m guessing Vince wants to fuck both of them so they can do what they want.

Somebody talk to me about how awesome Shane O' Mac was as a wrestler during the Attitude era. I cannot get enough of Shane from back then. I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that nepotism aside, he was possibly the most entertaining wrestler to watch for a brief period as a special attraction.

I am trying to figure out who my favourites were and if they still are.

The Rock
Mankind
Stevie Richards
Crash Holly
Bob Holly
Test
Billy Gunn
Farooq
Jerry Lynn
Lance Storm
D-Lo Brown

There are too many. I need to find a way to see the Attitude Era all over again so I can re-evaluate it 15 years on.

I also enjoyed Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boyz and the Acolytes in tag team action but the best will always be Test and Albert. I did love the big boot and the choke-powerbomb thang.

I went back to the hokey era of occupational gimmicks but I just felt bad about it. Hacksaw Jim Duggan was my hero back then and I was convinced The Mountie was actually hard.

The Mountie was kinda scary when I was younger. Not as scary as Bam Bam, Yoko, or Taker though.

They're already doing super shows at live events as well. Won't be long before they're doing it for TV and then scrap the split again.

Two fat bastards and Taker. I have never been afraid of anyone fat.

Guys when we watch Hell in a Cell this Sunday we have to do better than just ordering pizza.... let's get a sub or Chinese takeout

Bam Bam had the flames on his head and beat the shit out of big bossman. Yoko did the Bonzai drop and hospitalized jobbers/Jim Duggan. I was 6, and horrified.

How old are you?

That's not me being cheeky I just mean I don't remember Yoko that early on.

31

I really started watching in late 92 when I was 5 going on 6 (though I watched before that, just too young to take it all in)

Huh, I dunno why Yoko had no impact on me then. Papa Shango was the scariest man alive when I was a kid.

I was a little scared of him but then Bret jobbed him to the sharpshooter and he kinda seemed like a bitch.

They presented Yoko as a motherfucker in 1992/93. I freaked out every time he did his "HASS! HASS! BONZAIII!" catchphrase in interviews. Also couldn't watch when he jumped Bret during the WM9 contract signing. Literally ran upstairs :'(

Contrast that with how I felt about Bret when he jobbed to Backlund and you have real emotional turmoil at a critical stage of youth.

This explains my psycho-sexual issues with older pale fishwives.

Papa Shango making Warrior vomit literally scared me off wrestling for a few years

Yep, me too. I came back for the duration of the Attitude era really. I had watched WCW a bit but Attitude and The Rock/Mankind got me back into wrestling I think. It may have been 97 rather than 98 but I missed at least three years.It's hard to remember when I saw everything, YouTube makes it seem like you were there.

It was the black blood he made Warrior bleed from his head that ruined it for me.

Around this time my father bought me a Judge Dredd comic which he then confiscated when he saw the content.

Forever yearning...

I got back into it when I saw Mankind and Undertaker fight in a Boiler Room Brawl and Paul Bearer turned on Taker.

Then I saw Bret/Austin at WM13 and was really hooked

It may have been posted before, but fuck it. It is too amazing to not post again. Lanny Poffo would be WWE Champion if he was coming into his prime now.
