Wrestling is only good live, and you just can't sit through 7+ hours of WWE TV per week becaus maybe a match will be good.

The PPVs have less crap, but they are starting to fill with more crap where even those are frustrating to watch.

But surely Takeover shows will validate letting Vince poo poo in my mouth!

You know WWE is in some dire straits when there's people pining for the days of the fuckin Riot Squad.

The only thing wrong with Riott Squad is that they never, ever won

That and the deeply awful feud with Natty

I made the "mawwiage, mawwiage is what brings us together today" comment and then Lawler said "is this the Princess Bride?". I am more surprised that Lawler knows more about that movie than just Andre being in it.

Lawler also said the minister looked like Bill Belichick. Then he started to really poo poo on it the longer it went and just wanted it to end.

I was in the middle of an emotional breakdown when this happened in the background, and I started laughing so hard it ended up bringing me out of it some. So yeah, this is definitely my favorite WWE memory.

Miz in a sweaty panic trying to stay on script while LaVar and his kids completely bulldoze him is unironically the best Raw segment of the decade

He was a lot better than the people they usually get. But the best part is a tie between Liv's outfit and Rusev's bow tie

I straight up don't understand the concept of wrestling weddings. In kayfabe they always turn into disasters so why would anyone in their right mind do them?

Weddings are expensive, but if you have it on Raw you can offload a lot of the catering costs and write the rest off as a work expense. Plus, you don't have to hire photographers since everything is already being recorded.

The gameday thread went INSANE when this happened. The closest I've ever see to the kind of "HOLY poo poo" outpouring was TV IV's reaction to the last ten minutes of Crossroads, Part II from Battlestar Galactica.

Hi everyone, I'm a longtime lurker that just got back into wrestling a few months ago after WWE lost me around 2004/2005. In an effort to pay back the information this forum has given me to make my reintroduction to the current wrestling scene easier, I wanted to share this Daniel Bryan moment because it is perfect in almost every way:

A similarly fun moment (that I don't think is easily found in YouTube) was when Daniel was unveiling the Smackdown women's championship and the crowd kept chanting for Becky. He made the same face as he does above, because he is pure of heart.

Punk's smile at HHH's discomfort, Miz's smirk of approval, and Mark Henry raising Bryan's hand. All those little moments the WWE tries so hard to create...

The video doesn't do the crowd justice. I could not hear a single word that Hunter was saying. Then Orton started talking and I couldn't hear a drat thing. You can see how frustrated Orton gets, and hell, kudos to Cena for being such a pro and using it.

Do you want to know what we do to artists?
The entire series of Bryan, Kane, and a random third person vs the Shield was one of my favorite stretches of WWE in a long time. Every match they had was great and each time Bryan would slowly chip away at the Shield and do a little bit better each time until one night it all just clicked into place and they finally beat them.

My favorite random moment from WWE before I stopped watching was a segment where Mark Henry was so hungry he hallucinated El Torito turning into a hamburger and then he ate the hamburger, which I choose to believe is the canonical fate of El Torito.
