I don't recall where I read this, but I've heard that in the WWE, it's in your best interest to vocally hate Obama around Vince McMahon. Is there any credibility to people actually getting bumps/promotions simply for being republican?

Skinty McEdger posted:HHH vs Hogan is one of my guilty pleasures. The match is horrible, the finish terrible, and the build awkward as hell. That said theres something about watching two master politicians going head tohead and giving the other as little as they possibly can. The first live event I ever went to was a Smackdown during the build to this and there was a battle royal to start off the show. The last two men in the ring were Triple H and Hogan and they would both go over the ropes and touch the floor at the same time several times in a row. I think before they finally decided to have a real match for the show's main event they had 4 double eliminations. Then you get to their real match and it felt like a contest to see who could pretend their legs work properly the hardest.

Hell, even if its in kayfabe I'd still like to see what weights the wrestlers could move. Hulk Hogan can at least deadlift a 900 lb. giant so there's a good starting point.

Captain Charisma posted:I remember I was at my aunt's house in 2005, and I was watching Raw. She walked in during a part where they were doing a segment with the whole Kane-Lita debacle and boy was that fun trying to explain it to her. I was still watching wrestling with my mom during the Katie Vick crap and the Kane/Lita rapebaby stories. Then we went to see Kane at a Barnes and Noble as part of his book tour for Journey Into Darkness and she chewed him out for like 5 minutes. He was pretty cool about the whole thing and still signed my Big Freaking Machine t-shirt that I used to think was the coolest shirt ever. oatgan fucked around with this message at 20:16 on Jun 27, 2011 |

Hahaha god drat this RVD/Sabu match is something to behold. RVD trying to just jump from the top rope and grab the title, missing by a mile, and then Taz trying to sell it like a GREAT IDEA is the best thing. -edit- Just before Sabu attempts to vault off of the ladder someone just yells "ARE YOU RETARDED?" The answer of course is yes. oatgan fucked around with this message at 22:26 on Jun 27, 2011 |

I will always have a soft spot for the first PPV I ever saved up my own money to order, No Mercy 2000. I remember a great Angle/Rock match, which I think was the first time Angle held the Heavyweight title, a great HHH/Benoit match, and William Regal defeating Naked Mideon.

I remembering loathing the RAW main event scene during the entire tenure of Evolution. Meanwhile, Smackdown had the vastly superior Team Angle  and has Hogan done anything that hasn't eventually gotten crazy-stale?

I actually wouldn't put it past them to give Test his own personal song by an actual band as he got a few inexplicable pushes during his time there. But I mean... loving Test Actually now that I think about it, didn't Slayer have a song called "Here Comes the Pain?"
