I rented the network to see the Undertaker doc, but apparently they're holding it so gently caress them, I'm canceling. But I just started watching In Your House. What the gently caress is this? This is embarrassing.

BrigadierSensible posted:Edge and Christian had a brief feud. It was largely forgettable, in my opinion, apart from a cage match they had at a PPV where, if I remember rightly, Edge tied or handcuffed Christian to the cage and had him hanging upside down. It was such a WWE move. This is what they want and by gawd they will move heaven and earth to get it over. I loved them both as a tag team, but it was so baffling when Christian was de-pushed and Edge got pretty much the heel version of a John Cena push. Edge was just everywhere, banging girls in the middle of the ring, while Christian is, apparently, ugly and gross. Christian was definitely the better worker and the fans loved him. But it was just squandered because... reasons? Of all of Vince's weird unexplainable grudges, the one against Christian is one of the weirdest. It was so bizarre to watch WWE try so hard to make us believe Christian was ugly. My girlfriend at the time thought the Hardys and Edge and Christian were the hottest people on the planet. But I guess he didn't get Vince turned on or something.

CopywrightMMXI posted:I have no clue how well this did but the promoted main event of Survivor series 92 was Flair/Ramon vs Savage/Warrior. That match was the selling point for the show. Bret vs Shawn was originally for the IC title but became for the world title after Bret became champ. That reminds me of the Summerslam that year when they wanted Warrior to turn heel, but he didn't want to, and then it's showtime and no one seemed to know what was happening. Even as a kid I was very confused. It was like a match with 30 angles and none of them had a pay-off. Then Bret dragged a hung over Bulldog to a great match.

OctoberCountry posted:Now I want to hear audio of Bryan giving Dave the Voight-Kampff test "Well, look, it's like, you know it is what it is. Should the turtle be flipped over? I mean, you've gotta understand the mentality. I don't really understand the idea of why you would do it, but I get it. The turtle needs to be flipped over. I mean, I get it, but... look, I've talked to a lot of guys there and they believe the turtle needs to be flipped over. I'm not sure it's the right move, but you know, it is what it is. That's what they do. They flip over the turtle. So at the end of the day is it a good move? Time will tell. I personally wouldn't have chosen to flip the turtle over, but there's a lot of moving parts to this and who knows, it might work. I don't think it will work in the long term, probably not good for people or the turtle, but we'll have to see."

If the loving UNDERTAKER is this goddamn miserable after the career he had, maybe it's not a business you should get involved in. I mean you ain't gonna get a better run than his, and he looks like he's bordering on suicide in every talking head segment. And Michelle playing the role of Collette Foley is something else too. I do love the doc, tho. It seems much more real than most of the WWE propaganda. Like no one comes out of this looking great.

I just finished episode 4 of the Taker doc and just the dichotomy of "I had a bad match, I need to continue to redeem myself" vs. "I had a good match, maybe I can still go" is just astounding. I'm almost convinced that the AJ match was his last one.

I don't watch Raw, but I love Christian and I would have been so goddamn pissed if I stuck around for 3 hours for that bullshit ending. I suppose they have plans for him to do a thing, but Christian just kicking Orton in the balls and saying "That's for my friend!" would have been much more satisfying then the guy with multiple concussions getting a punt kick his first day back.

Codependent Poster posted:It goes to getting Christian off TV for a while so he can get in ring shape, then coming back and getting Orton to agree to a match on his terms, which maybe is a TLC match on PPV. Then you have people who want to see Christian get back at Orton and pay to set it. I mean, it's basic wrestling promotion. You pay to see the heel get his comeuppance, not to see the face get beat after already getting one over on them. Christian has been off tv for years! Given any notice he could have gotten into shape. But of course this isn't a company that plans ahead. Instead of Christian just kicking Orton in the balls and getting some shine, Christian is hit in the balls by an elderly man and then punted for his first match back in years. Christian isn't going to beat Orton, so there's no reason for going for that. Flair can't wrestle. Edge is out. This was just done to job out Christian as a joke. If Christian's check cleared, cool. But this is not basic wrestling promotion. This is stupidity.

Also whenever I hear something terrible about someone in the wrestling industry I pretty much assume it's true. I'm sure time will tell.

I envision them as like a Legion of Doom giant warrior types. Although in WWE it would just be a nerdy skinny guy who keeps asking women out and being rejected named "Desperate". And a guy named Measures who just uses a tape measure to measure stuff around the ring. And they'd be faces.

Taker locked Warrior in an air-tight casket and almost killed him, died after every heel on the roster attacked him and then appeared on the Titantron in the coffin and then rose to heaven, was set on fire when he was in a casket, feuded with his brother who he thought he killed in childhood, fought his own evil doppelganger, tried to have a satanic wedding with Steph after stalking her, crucified Austin, and fought every weird flash in the pan freak that every had a run in WWE. And that's just off the top of my head. Him retiring in an empty gym as the country dies from a deadly virus is pretty on brand.

I'm a fan of Taker getting a neck tattoo of his wife's name and then getting divorced and "Welp! Got to cover this up." It reminds me when I was 18 and my girlfriend wanted to get a tattoo on her hip that said "(my name)'s girl". And I was like, oh you really probably shouldn't do that.
