I only got back into WWE last year, and I'm noticing Raw is really sucking right now. Within this decade, what other time periods in Raw's history can compare in awfulness to this "Guest GM Era"?

Better tag team title match that week: Austin/Triple H vs. Benoit/Jericho (RAW 5/21/01) or TLC 3 (Smackdown 5/24/01)?

Jericho oughta use the Walls ---> Liontamer when someone tries to reach the ropes, much like Angle's grapevined ankle lock.

In your opinion, just how relevant was the Undertaker to the Attitude Era? Like, if I compiled a list of the ten WWF Superstars that defined that time period, Taker barely makes it, even when counting tag teams as one unit. I just find it interesting that both Taker and HBK, the Superstars with the most tenure, seemed to be the biggest stars during WWE's fallow periods.

Is it just me or is the current WWE midcard as good as it ever has been? Or should I not get too attached to any of the guys there like Bourne and Ryder because many of them will promptly disappear within the year?

Informal Poll: Was Jericho's best material during his heel run in WCW? He called Stephanie McMahon a gigantic whore in the Attitude Era, apparently did a whole lot of nothing from '02-'05 and at the peak of his current heel run, has been incredibly entertaining in a much different way. It's just, I notice that when people talk about how awesome Jericho is, they usually say ARMBAR or talk about conspiracies or quote anything else he said in that one year on the TV shows of a long-dead wrestling company.

I'd put it like Austin, Rock, Foley and Triple H. If I had to include Mr. McMahon, I would either put him 2nd or 5th.

I once asked about the relevancy of the Undertaker during the Attitude Era in this thread. I ultimately felt he wasn't that relevant for two reasons: 1. His gimmick became a bit stale because occupation-based and supernatural gimmicks were less acceptable because the audience wasn't mostly children anymore. So, newcomers to the main event overshadowed UT a bit, which led to Bikertaker, which I would call a mixed success. 2. Most of his Attitude Era moments took place outside of matches e.g. sacrificing Austin because I don't think he had that many good-great matches during this time because he wasn't as good a worker as he is now. Sure, he has the first two HIACs, but what else? In fact, I'd argue that HIAC 2 was all Foley, similar to how the WM10 ladder match was all HBK, even though Razor won. But from judging the comments in this thread, maybe my memory needs to be jogged?

Anyway, content: As far as Daniel Bryan's technique is concerned, is there really any difference between the omoplata crossface and the arm trap version? I was looking at some gifs and pictures of it, and I couldn't really tell the difference.

MassRayPer posted:Cena has also had a shorter career and it has been less intense for the last few years, where from WM 18 through WM 23 HHH was Hitler. Now he's more like Mussolini, or a lesser dictator, still hated but sometimes forgotten. Cena has always been a bit more mixed, a lot of hatred, but some love too, especially after 2007. quote:

How do the ladder matches of other feds compare to WWE's? Because I tend to think of that match-type as their specialty.

What's your favorite move ever done on the Big Show? My preference is the Perfect-Plex; the F5 was also real nice; the Jackhammer wasn't half-bad, either.

triplexpac posted:I'm sorry to bring up HHH again, but I'm curious what people think about him in relation to the Undertaker. They're basically two of the last main eventers from the Attitude Era left. I will agree that Undertaker has been making GBS threads up the ring for much longer than Triple H. But I think this is still a "what have you done for me lately" situation. I really believe Taker has rarely been bad, certainly less terrible than Triple H, from about '07 to now (okay that's cheating a bit since he's been ghost for the past two years or so, but I guess you can say similar things about Triple H). Taker has improved with age, while Hunter has stagnated, that's the crux of my argument.

crankdatbatman posted:What is the general consensus of Backlash 2000? I loved that main event and wonder if I'm the only one who has that opinion. It kind of sucks HHH got the belt back at Judgment Day, but whatever. It may just be nostalgia, as I had just gotten into WWF/E in December of 99 and really liked the Rock, so seeing the Rock with the title for the first time was really cool for a 12 year old me.

I still say most people didn't realize what HBK was doing to Hogan until he pointed it out the next night on Raw. I'm mean, in the Summerslam 2005 thread, I think only one or two posters recognized that Shawn was overselling. Hell, a few even say he was being professional by making Hogan look like a million bucks and agreeing to that finish.
