I thought The Ministry kidnapping Stephanie was fantastic just for the climax of Ken Shamrock freaking out, covered in blood busting into the room with Stephanie screaming, "STEPHANIE I'M HERE TO SAVE YOU!"

I'm an unapologetic mark for The Ministry of Darkness story. Not so much the Corporate Ministry, that kinda sucked.

My only gripe is that Faarooq and Bradshaw just put on black tights and painted random symbols on their chest. Everybody else got a new name, new costume, colored contacts, and so on. At least give Ron/JBL masks or something to reflect they've been brainwashed.

At least the Higher Power reveal is good meme and video fodder. Red posted:My only gripe is that Faarooq and Bradshaw just put on black tights and painted random symbols on their chest.

It's really lazy compared to Mideon who's cutting odd promos and carrying around jars of eyeballs.

When the Wyatt Family first showed up, they should've started kidnapping jobbers the company was doing nothing with, and then having them show up looking all swamp-culty a couple weeks later. Basically what the Dark Order did with recruitment but more brainwashy. Instead the stable remained the same size for years and constantly lost.

It was cool when they beat the poo poo out of Kane and it was cool when they picked a fight with the Shield and won. But they really did gently caress-all of worth other than that.

It says something that the only person they kidnapped and tried to brainwash into the family was Daniel Bryan in an attempt to kill his heat.

They got Orton too that one time, but at no point did anyone believe or care that he was part of the group. Then they had a match where an overhead projector was the big gimmick or something.

Don Callis would have been a good higher power. But then you have to explain how such a bunch of guys including the Undertaker were taking their cues from a nobody.

Remember the badly designed small time wrestling news sites of 1999 speculating Jake Roberts was the higher power. And that update was just above a gif of a man walking up to a WCW logo, pulling his pants down to piss on it, while his skull became exposed for some reason???

I just rewatched the Undertaker Stephanie ministry wedding and it made me realize how out of order I remember the Attitude Era. First of all it always feels like it lasted a lot longer than it did. Also I could have sworn that happened years before Big Show came to the WWE.

What if the underlying message of the Acolytes were they didn’t need to be brainwashed, because they were onboard already?

Vince winning the Rumble -> Big Show debut, Austin qualifying for Mania -> Rock turning face -> Ministry of Darkness, various sacrifices and Steph wedding -> Corporate Ministry -> Vince as Higher Power -> First blood match for the title and Vince leaving WWF when Austin wins -> Triple H/Mankind/Austin SummerSlam with Jesse Ventura as referee -> Triple H wins the title -> Vince comes back -> Rock and Sock Connection -> DX reforms -> Austin gets run over -> Big Show wins the title -> Big Show/Bossman feud with Big Show's dad's coffin -> Triple H marries Steph -> Steph turns on Vince. All in one year! Ha, I just realized that Steph was married against her will twice in the same year. 1999!
