Be honest thread
Ask “be honest” questions thread where it’s a safe space to admit how did-engaged or lapsed you really are

I’ll start with :

Be honest - do you really know who the all champions are in wwe ?

Come down to my dungeon..eh...I'll stretch the feck out you



Only legends know..ehhh..

Good thread idea, Mr. Hart.

I think I do.

WWE: Big E
Universal: Roman
IC: Nakamura
US: Damian Priest
Tag: RKBro, Usos
Women’s: Charlotte and Becky
24/7: Dana?
Women’s Tag: Carmella & Zelina?

Do you want to keep this question going or change it up? I’ve got one for anyone who wants to answer:

Do you think we have seen the last match of Shawn Michaels?

Without reading the other posts, let's see if I can get this:

WWE Champion - Big E
Universal Champion - Roman Reigns
Intercontinental Champion - Shinsuke Nakamura? Maybe?
US Champion - ??? Oh wait... that dude who teamed with Bad Bunny.... Damien Priest
RAW Tag Team Champions - RK-Bro
Smackdown Tag Team Champions - The Usos
RAW Women's Champ - Becky Lynch
SD Women's Champ - Charlotte Flair

NXT World Champ - Tomaso Ciampa?
NXT North American Champ - ???
NXT Women's Champ - ???
Other NXT Titles - ???

Oh yeah, there are women's tag belts.... Carmella & Zelina could maybe be the right answer as Noid says....

24/7 title too which I think is held by someone named "Reggie"?

Roman, Big E, Nakamura, Priest, Usos, RKBro, Carmella and Zelina, Big Time Becks, Charlotte, and Dana Brooke. NXT is Ciampa, Carmelo, Mandy Rose, Toxic Attraction, Imperium, and Roderick Strong. I know Ilja is the NXT UK Champion, no idea who their tag or women's champ is though.

I do not believe Shawn Michaels will wrestle again.

ECW was good far past 1997. I think it was good until about 2000 when Taz and the Dudleys left.

How about do you remember who the current champions won their respective titles from?

The effectiveness of wrestling, which is designed to put asses in seats, does matter to me though. It’s a useful indicator of performance.

But the way ratings are interpreted by commentators is pretty frustrating. The way technology, media and culture have moved past using trusting this algorithm to deliver the gospel truth is insane. Younger people piggy-back cable off their older generations who are stuck with it. There are other ways to consume. It’s annoying to hear wrestling journalists act as it 300k people in a key demo not reached by cable as effectively in 2022 is either a good or bad, depending on whether they like Raw or don’t like Dynamite.

1997 and 1999 are no contest. 1998 had some REALLY good stuff though. I think the best editions of Raw might be those ones just after WrestleMania XIV. But I think I’m cherry-picking really good Steve Austin stuff and the effectiveness of it with the actual quality of the shows.

1997 is finally getting the acclaim it deserves in retrospect as being such a crucial foundation for the WWF to explode. That seems really obvious, but until the Network came about, I think the narrative was that the WWF only really got its shit together with Steve Austin in 1998 and that it was kind of “magic” without factoring in how much stuff in 1997 really did cultivate that.

Be honest: What do you think of the WWE being a publicly traded company?

in 98/99 Austin's pops were so loud the wwf should have been legally required to supply ear protection to the audience. so no. 97 was not better.

ages well can mean whatever you want but ill assume youll mean its more engaging now but there's an issue there.

like all art form there's a lot of ways to go about a thing. we'll use film for the easy translation. the first time you watch a film you're watching the plot. the future is a mystery and the narrative can go anywhere. its infinite. its on the 2nd viewing that you can analyze it at a deeper level fully. cinematography, themes etc because the plot, now and forever, serves no fuction. its permanently dead. you know every beat to its conclusion.

in this way some films can really only ever be enjoyed once. films that hinge on a major 3rd act reveal or they lack depth or whatever.

now you could dismiss them and say theyre awful for lacking the layers other films have but in doing that you discount the initial riveting experience you had when you went in blind.

98/99 doesnt have the nuisanced wrestling of 95-97 at all but that doesnt disqualify it from being good or better just because what made it great cant be re-experienced. to see why its great instead watching it you should listen to it. the raw human emotion generated from peak 98-99 exceeds any point in the businesses history. nothings ever been hotter and the lived experience is captured forever even if we cant touch it again.

does it have the depth? no. most magic tricks dont. you can only watch them once. and 98-99 was absolutely magic.

Nobody answered this yet but I think you’re wrong on this one. 98 was more good than bad. Heatwave 98 is probably my favorite ECW show. RVD/Lynn, Tajiri/Super Crazy, and Awesome/Tanaka feuds are all post 97. Think 99 is when it started going downhill.

They brought in Tajiri and Super Crazy because the in ring product was so awful. Plus the guys at the top had gotten stale. I actually enjoy 2000 ECW way more than 98 and 99

Yes definitely. I was at their only Canadian show in August 2000 and they drew over 5000 fans at the Hershy Centre in Missisauga Ontario.

Lol, come on now, Stu. This wouldn’t happen to coincide with a certain son of yours leaving the company, would it?

I think something clicked over in 2000. I’ve always had this sneaking suspicion it may have actually been triggered by the WWF’s transition to TNN.
