Speaking of Arn/Regal, does anyone have any good examples of matches that felt like they were dropped in from another promotion?

Which rumble has the crowd swaying along with Gangrels entrance?

Actually if the crowd is getting into the rumble a lot, that helps make it seem better in my opinion

what was the worst botch in a stipulation match (or otherwise) that either they had to grossly overlook and/or just accept the new/unplanned finish?

What wrestlers actually did a good job of changing their whole persona when going from face to heel or vice-versa? It seems like a lot of guys, including many good wrestlers, are really 99% the same character before and after turning.

Any favorite wrestling themes that you just know are bad? The sort you ask yourself, "dear god, why do I like this?"

All this mention of Limp Bizkit reminds of the other year when fred durst was shown on camera for a ppv and he flipped the bird.

The moonsault styles clash off the top rope used by that one indy idiot who injured a bunch of guys and himself with it.

Where did the nickname big sexy come from and how did the announcers call Nash that with a straight face?

Is there an equivalent of Sherdog/Figthfinder for WWE/Pro Wrestling that has fighter profiles with Match History & W/L records?

Was Raw actually close to getting cancelled by USA in 98?

WCW cared a ton, it led to Bischoff challenging Vince to a shoot fight.

Did I miss something by not seeing her NXT run or am I not as observant of nazi allusions as I thought I was?

The Undertaker vs. Triple H

Do people still love this match? I found it an absolute chore to sit through -- all of Hunter's bad "epic match" habits stretched out to an ungodly length.

edit: Man, Test was really over as a babyface prior to the wedding. I'm guessing he gets buried by DX constantly afterwards? I didn't watch at the time and was shocked when I read he died at only 33 years old.

Did The Rockers ever reunite after Shawn put Marty through the window? I can’t think of one, but maybe I’m forgetting of something.

If no, was it ever really explained why not?

If the big North Korean expo... thing is the biggest wrestling gate in history (with the caveat that attendance was basically mandatory), what's the second biggest? I.e. the biggest "legit" attendance for a wrestling show?

So I just watched a clip of Vince McMahon growling "Do you know what E stands for? ENIS! You're an Enis! You're...AN ANUS!!" at some dude in a wig and fake mustache. What the gently caress?

Stan Kroenke's first name is Enos. He also sucks rear end.

I thought Tatanka's second run was a result of him showing up as a nostalgia act in the Rumble, getting a bigger than anticipated pop, and not looking half-dead in the ring.

Sort of how Curt Hennig got a second run.

I mean, (a) he won the title in a great Mania match (b) he retained against the pair of them in a pretty good match (c) he would've beaten CM Punk for the ECW titles without, you know, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAR-DurmA6o

I occasionally see people calling out wrestlers for being very good at the 2.9 (in particular AJ Styles, and I can't remember any other names off the top of my head). Just saw a really great roll-up 2.9 that made me think about the opposite: are there any wrestlers that were or are notably BAD at 2.9s? Like, always too early and/or never actually doing them.

I don't think it made casuals sour on him as a top guy, as much as the invasion in general made casual fans tune out in droves. The casual audience largely stopped being there.

What heel turn was the most poorly timed in kayfabe? They can't all be surprise briefcase cash-ins, but last night with KO/fi just seemed arbitrary, if hype (although will all understand that this is because the spirit of an angry baby randomly possesess the large Canadian body of Kevin Owens), and WWE wrestlers seem to have a tendency to turn when they're outnumbered and have nothing explicitly to gain in that moment (like the Shield breakup)

The one thing I'd say, I wouldn't want to be watching it on the WWE Network because the music is such a big part of ECW feeling apart of the zeitgeist of the '90s: No Enter Sandman, no Here Comes The HotStepper, no Perfect Strangers.
