Wow I can't believe the OP doesn't include the very important and popular Monumental Podcast.

no other podcast explores the very important topic of 'has hulkamatt ever actually watched wrestling?'

he hasn't

Garbage tends to increase when you wait to retire at least 4 years after everyone realizes you're done

Hell, it can't be ruled out that he'll come back just because he thinks he's capable of having a better last match than that Reigns Mania one, so make it at least 5 years

Taker's worst, ringwork-wise, in the 10s was far better than about 90% of what he did in the 90s and 00s.

That said, I'd also rather watch a Taker 90s/00s feud and matches than the vast majority of stuff that happened in that period.

Rey is a much bigger star than Orton and frankly Jericho. Rey made WWE the #1 promotion in Mexico for about 5 years and let them do huge drawing house show tours there along with big ratings.

Rey was also the difference between Smackdown being a top show among Latinos and being average, iirc.

Dave really should just change the official wording to over/under pushed to clarify the situation and avoid these arguments every single year tho

If Dave cared he would have changed the name over 30 years ago when Hulk Hogan: Most Charismatic Wrestler In The World, was also Most Overrated.

It's actually the Fusient guy who pulled out's fault. He clearly had a vendetta against pro wrestling, which is why he almost bought WCW and only backed out when he saw it was a lovely, lovely business that had no remotely viable path to not losing lots of money.

I'm just rooting for them to do whatever thing with Roman hurts their business most. Because between being in Trump's cabinet, naming an inspirational award after one of the most hateful, selfish human beings to ever exist, trying to name a woman's battle royal after a sex trafficker and sucking the oil out of the KSA's dick I just want this whole stupid company to collapse into a singularity.

(There is a degree of questionable behavior I am prepared to accept from a wrestling company, but they've gone to plaid)

Fun Fact: Since Roman's begun getting 'coronated', WWE's stock has almost quadrupled.

ChrisBTY posted:

This angers me greatly.
The stock part. Less so the Roman part.
But I guess if the value of your company keeps going up because of business moves, the actual quality of your product doesn't matter in the slightest.
Unless it's something that involves lawsuits and recalls, but WWE isn't that.
So there's no reason to 'not' push Roman, since they don't actually have to cater to their audience anymore apparently.

Their audience is paying more and more to attend shows, which is more of a sign of approval of WWE's product than any chants or boos will ever be.

fewer people are paying more

So? The drop in attendance is lower than the increase in ticket prices, so WWE is making more money. It's a business.

They got into an argument last week about whether this Nitro was the worst thing ever made, Vinny brought up Battlefield Earth and basically goaded Bryan into agreeing to watch it.

Bryan Alvarez will go a long way at great personal cost to himself in order to prove a point, basically.

Bryan and Vinny watched Two-Headed Shark Attack way back when, and Bryan insisted it was the worst movie ever, to which Vinny responded "Battlefield Earth".

Bryan insisted Vinny was wrong until he figured out what Battlefield Earth was, at which point he immediately conceded.

Bryan and Vinny watching Battlefield Earth is like 5 years in the making.

As a fan I think Bryan should leave WWE because that is a far more interesting possibility than anything he can do in WWE, including having an 8000 day reign holding every title.

It's so much harder for them to strike now. Two rosters that are in the same city once a month plus NXT. Can you get everyone on board so Vince doesn't have enough people to try to put on a show?

Here is why a strike could never succeed.

If Roman doesn't go on strike, WWE can put on a show and Vince wins.

If Roman does go on strike, fans will side with WWE and Vince wins.
