DynamiteKidd posted:Personally I'm all about the time DX rode an armed jeep around Atlanta and farcically declared war on WCW, and every time this was ever mentioned since the story became "Triple H drove an armored fighting vehicle, a tank with a rotating turret, into Eric Bischoff's offices and was so sexy he won the Monday Night Wars then and there" That wasn't the end of it. The Attitude Era Podcast guys covered it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rG5e3J1wnd0

Buff's mom calling JR to tell him Buff was sick and couldn't make it to the weekend house show. Pondo. Indy wrestlers and weekend warriors who fluctuate between being themselves and being in character on social media. And say 'brother' five times a sentence. If you cut promos on a Facebook comment you look like a pud. 50/50 booking in WWE. Anytime someone on any message board can't believe Dixie Carter did something dumb because "REMEMBER FOLKS SHE USED TO RUN A PR COMPANY." Hey dildos, when your dad rents an office in Nashville and puts you in charge and you don't even have any country music clients(again, in Nashville,) you don't "run a PR company". Buying an abandoned school and sitting in the big office doesn't make you the loving principal. But probably the stupidest is how people in the business take being "in the business" super seriously and if you don't pay your dues and shake everyone's hand and then pay your dues five more times then you're poo poo forever and you have no respect for anything while simultaneously always trying to bring in bodybuilders, fitness models, and other people who just started wanting to be a wrestler 3 months ago and trying to turn them into a wrestler and toss them in a locker room where the previously stated mentality is already against them.

I thought it was pretty dumb when Luke Harper won the IC belt, and lost like 10 matches before dropping the belt. I don't remember an actual match he won as champion.

The IC title has been the jobberweight championship for a while, guys, BNB basically never won a match during his reigns either.

Trump vs. Rosie which was so bad the fans started chanting TNA. Vince booked the segment to entertain himself and himself only. It was Vince at his most selfish. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall while Vince was convincing Ace Steel to take the part. Edit: correcting grammar Stokes fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Jul 4, 2015 |

I remember a "worst wrestler ever" thread (not here I don't think) and someone said "the fake Donald Trump from that one match" because they thought it was some loser who never worked before. I'm just saying Ace Steel probably deserved a lot better

I just remembered two terrible angles involving Torrie Wilson. 1) Her feud with Dawn Marie, who literally sexed Torrie's father to death after dating him for an agonizing several weeks/months and then marrying him so she was Torrie's stepmom. 2) The double-feud of Nidia/Torrie and Billy Gunn/Jamie Noble, which somehow ended in a foursome orgy. It literally ended with all four in a bed together.

It's one of the things that always comes up when they talk about the best of DX. The better part I think was when they wen't to WCW HQ. X Pac: Were here. Everyone else: Wait? This is it?  At the last NEW show the sign guy made a Matt Taven sign that has to been seen to be believed. I can't seem to find it.

Triple H spending months telling Booker T that he can't be the champion because black people are not as good as white people, and then beating Booker at Wrestlemania after hitting the pedigree and taking forever to make the cover, because if black people were good enough to be champions then they'd be able to kick out of finishers after 30 seconds of rest.That DICK! posted:WCW Champion David Arquette ruled and I can tell you why: Despite not seeing the clip once in like 16 years or whatever now since it first aired the sound and image of Arquette gleefully squealing "Shyaaaaaat aaaaaaaaaaaaap" at the crowd is still seared into my brain. Someone please find that clip https://youtu.be/tl87W1BOYQY?t=5m26s

I watched that match with the ninja turtles and a dolphin that was an hour long and it was pretty much a fever dream. gently caress if I know what it actually was. Or who won it. Or why.

WWE keeping The Great Khali around for as long as they loving did and putting the World title on him at one point. Yes, I'm aware "but he draws in India" as the excuse but those matches and segments of his cannot have been worth it.

Nothing...NOTHING...beats WCW as far as "dumbest things in wresting" is concerned. TNA is pretty drat close but WCW management was on a level I still haven't seen topped yet.

The WrestleMania 9 shambles where, instead of Bret retaining his title and leading the company into a new era, he loses it to Yokozuna...who immediately challenges Hulk Hogan to a title match for no reason and THE HULKSTER WINS IN ABOUT 5 SECONDS YAAAAY.

In the final days of the Bikertaker, he won a match that got him the right to any kind of match he wanted. Rather than go with the title match as McMahon figured, Undertaker instead chose a Buried Alive match against Vince. All in all it made sense and gave us a nice Vince beating before Kane showed up, attacked Undertaker and ultimately killed off the biker gimmick. On its own, not the worst angle. EXCEPT in the lead-up, Vince cut one of the most ridiculous, over-the-line promos. To show how freaked out he was over this match, he had Paul Heyman brought in an went on this huge rant about all these things he wanted done to the Undertaker. Things I recall include: - Have his children kidnapped. - Have terrorists blow up his home. - Having a gang of bikers rape his wife while Undertaker's forced to watch. Thankfully, Heyman was able to actually save the segment just a bit by cutting a promo that was essentially, "The gently caress is wrong with you?"

I'm a big anti-fan of Hogan's tag match on that card, the one where he does all the Hogan heel spots like back rakes and biting in the corner, attacks DiBiase and IRS with an illegal foreign object, assaults the ref, attempts to then win the match illegitimately by having his own manager (wearing ref stripes) count a pin, and steals like $300k from Money, Inc Like, jesus, is it me or is this some of the most blatant heeling you could possibly imagine
