You know, Vince can't really top himself there, so why not try and have the next highest rated Raw have Konnor instead?

Shawn Michaels is my favorite wrestler of all time, but he was not a tv or ppv draw

HHH and Undertaker are maybe a little arguable, but I don't think they drew poo poo without Rock or Austin either

I mean the thing is at this point we're getting pretty far removed from the 80's and 90's and since wwe doesn't actually build stars anymore no one cares about the current WWE or nostalgia.

I'll probably be at the bar until 3, so I'll just play Spider-Man for a couples hours, and watch the show until I fall asleep.

How did Summerslam 2005 do? I remember being shocked at the time how heavily promoted it was. There were huge billboards for it in Philly and my smaller home town suddenly had all the pizza places (there are a weird amount of pizza places in Lititz PA) replace their generic pizza boxes for glossy black ones with Shawn and Hogan on the top

Part of me, instead of watching a Trips/Taker match in anno 2018, think their skills and talents would best be used in recreating the famous scene from "lemonparty" and it would probably be better booked and just as satisfying for the talent

Since the extension was announced, he's lost to Miz, Maryse, and Shelton. No TV wins

Glad to see Dean continues the tradition of being the stupidest man in wrestling by passing on a world title shot.

Naw, it's about looking out for your bro... although Roman has whooped Dean's rear end at least 5-6 times going for the world title in the last 3 years.

Would it really kill you to take 1 single move out of your massive rear end moveset? The diving headbutt doesnt even look that good when it's done right.

The diving headbutt is a stupid move because it looks like it would damage the person doing it more than the person taking it.

Give us another Miz vs whoever match where Miz goes up to the top rope, teases a diving headbutt, then shouts "This move is stupid" and then doesn't do a diving headbutt.

I bought into it when I was a kid because it was ANIME DBZ you are sacrificing your own health because the move is 10x worse for your opponent!!

But yeah it’s a really dumb rear end move and Bryan is rapidly falling from my favorite of all time spot because of this and his other dumb poo poo since coming back from retirement

RVD’s entire moveset was basically “I will kill myself to win but feel nothing and never get injured because I’m high and limber as gently caress” and his frog splash was better than Eddie’s and I can’t complain about any of that

RVD had the best frog splash in wrestling and it was entirely because he had to get wicked high back stage to ignore the fact that the best frog splash in wrestling also probably shouldn't be done.

rvd being the guy with a collapsed ribcage who cannot stop doing frog splashes is the best thing about him, right ahead of selling ddts by doing a hands free headstand.

man, rvd ruled.
