the fact that Foley got BACK UP afterwards with a crazy smile on his face because his character was loving insane and wanted to keep fighting.... and Taker's reaction was,"gently caress it okay let's fight some more!"

But this also happens in CZW matches :v:

Why isn't that done more often? It protects the wrestlers since they're being ganged up on and keeps the feud hot because one hasn't beaten the other one.

Because usually battle royals are for a prize, and the top guys are more likely to win them!

Whatever happened to long building feuds, big payoffs and rare but special (usually at a pay per view) title changes?
Weekly TV and monthly PPVs!

Did the attitude era (stopped watching at a fairly young age, got back into it recently and missed that entire era) cause wrestling ADD so badly that there are no slow build feuds or long title reigns anymore?
Yes!

Have there been any long periods of one guy holding a title recently?
There have been 6 world champions in the past 5 years that have held their titles for at least 200 days. But this year there have been more surprise title changes than usual.

The most recent title change on Raw not due to an injury was when Jericho beat Batista in a cage match on the 800th episode last year. Before that would be CM Punk's first money in the bank.

While Shawn Michaels was feuding with the McMahons, he had a match against Shane. They KO'd Shawn, put him in the Sharpshooter, and rang the bell.

He also drove a lowrider through the Smackdown set with Taker on it making it blow up.

This was great because he drove the car through the stage, and crashed it.....into boxes and boxes of fireworks that were conveniently stacked directly behind the stage.

The TV Title existed before the 90s, guys.

On the old NWA shows on 24/7 they have TV Title matches.

The name was much less stupid back in those days, when the television was still a new and wondrous invention.

I wish he could keep it when he eventually arrives in the WWE, because while that video is awesome, a crowd ten times bigger singing along would be magical.

If WWE crowds don't sing along with Zack Ryder's song, they won't sing along with anything.

By your own numbers we're talking about the PC boom period, where usage jumped 20 percent in the two year span between 1999-2001. It only gained 10 percent in the next four years. To me that sounds like a pretty popular time for online communities.

Internet usage jumped like a billion percent between 1992 and 1995!

I went to WM23 and sat somewhere in the equivalent of sections 124-126 on that diagram, about 2/3 of the way up. The view was fantastic - the titantron was partially blocked by the lighting rig but other than that you could see everything really well. Plus, the crowd in that area was great and the price was very reasonable.

Sitting up in the $25 seats would probably be too far away but likely would still be better than most floor seats.

This reminds me of Flair's last couple years in WWE, when he hit the move off the top rope about 10 matches in a row yet people were astonished every time.
