Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

I think over the course of several years, and numerous video games, several moves done by the Brood would end up being called the Impaler.

Though ironically, Gangrel's lifting DDT was the best move ever done by anyone in The Brood.

I liked Edge, but gently caress, his spear was terrible.

I really like the animation for the flatliner he had in the AKI games, which I think came from Revenge and specifically from Kanyon, but Edge's version never looked good in real life.

Early in Edge's WWF career, half his move set was ripped off from Kanyon. He used the Flatliner, used the Electric Chair Drop, and a few others.

Did the WWF use piped in crowd noise for taped shows during the Attitude Era? I was watching the May 25 2000 Smackdown, and there seemed to be an awful lot of noise during an Al Snow vs Bull Buchanan match that I couldn't imagine anyone giving a gently caress about. I mostly focused on the crowd during the match, and even though there were audible pops for a lot of spots, I couldn't see a single fan reacting in the background. People usually claim that there wasn't any crowd sweetening during the Attitude Era, but that wasn't my impression here.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Without knowing the dates, smackdown was always most notorious for having the "Smackdown Pop" which was basically a vacuum noise because it was on a tape delay and Vince & Production could edit things to make it look and sound exactly how they wanted it to.

during the 2000s everyone was just that stupidly over. they most likely did doctor in more cheering though.

Around what time did TV broadcast/PPV overtake gate as the WWF and WCW's primary source of revenue? The earliest 10-K available on WWE's website says that TV/PPV had already overtaken live revenues by 2000, so it must have happened sometimes in the 80s or 90s but I can't track the answer down.

Do you think that the type of multiweek "deep" character study interviews like they did back in the day with Foley and Dustin would work today? Would todays crowd have the patience for it? Would it help a character get over?

I really wanted them to do that with Woken Matt Hardy. Hardy was once on Jericho's podcast and spent an hour completely in character and it was amazing. I thought him having a multi episode interview with Cole would have done wonders for the character.

i went to one of these wrestling shows and it was... honestly? frickin boring. i wanna see ricky! i want to see his gold chains and respect for the ftw lifestyle

man that was a really weird stretch of raw. between lashleys awful, awful interview segments and Sami challenging him to obstacle courses and saying he wasn't really in the army at all or whatever, then he got squashed by the vertical suplex.

and now they just did what tna did with lashley and it... kinda works? I dunno maybe, lol.

In NXT they did it for Roddy Strong in the lead up to his title challenge against Bobby Roode, years back. iirc it really did help him get face heat for what would otherwise have been a fairly rote TV feud between Takeovers.

I have literally no idea why anyone would watch WWE at this point. People get super stoked when they start to push someone but it's been like 10 years of people getting pushed to the moon for like 3 months and then nothing because of exactly what you said. They realize people have to be stoked about something but they think it's brilliant to not let any talent get leverage

No. Cena's next match was with Trips at the Oil Rumble, which he won. They've kinda done this undercurrent of "I'm Cena and I'm just happy to be here even though I might not have It anymore," but they've never strictly tied the Taker rear end-kicking into all that.

It was a really weird match considering they decided to put so much focus on it and dedicate the end of Charlotte-Asuka to it. JOHN CENA IS SUPER FOCUSED ON BEATING THE UNDERTAKER nope taker beats him in 3 minutes and no one cares or remembers it

WWE is awful

Charlotte vs Asuka was pretty good until they did the Cena thing and Asuka was suddenly happy with Charlotte beating her and lost her rear end kicking character for good
