Gavok posted:There was a tag team of a Mario cosplayer and a Vega cosplayer who called themselves the Super Smash Brothers. But then they got on TV and couldn't call themselves that, so they were an evil team of supervillains with an army of masked henchmen following them around. They were eventually reimagined as a riff on Scientology and recruited some new members. Then their boss was introduced as a parody of Vince McMahon, down to his real life quirks (ie. freaking out when anyone sneezes) and they became commentary on how WWE is absolutely a cult in the way it treats its employees. Then all the members started filming comedy sketches on YouTube that turned them into a group of lovable dorks constantly being yelled at by their psychotic monster of a boss. Also, their cult got a sponsorship deal with Chili's and new members included a different wrestler's sweet mother and the comedian Sinbad. On the other hand, seems I really need to get on AEW.

At least the Misfits took part in matches and stuff, there's more of a point to be made for them. ... up to now all I knew about that was a vague "yup they sure were in WCW" but I read up on it and it's actually hilarious. Jerry Only had championship ambitions (to be fair: not that out of the way in WCW) and had his first ever match against Steve Williams in a cage, and Doyle stole and later married Macho Man's girlfriend.

Bogus Adventure posted:I wonder who ended up more problematic in that picture: The Headbangers or Marilyn Manson?

I remember watching the 2000 Royal Rumble with a buddy. *Mick Foley pulls out a barbed wire bat* "Hoo boy. Well that'll be plastic 'barbed wire', surely." *HHH nails Foley over the back with the bat, visibly getting stuck in and tearing his shirt* "  "

Friend of mine turns out to find AEW completely ridiculous (Revolution didn't help), but hyped up the well-received Walter vs. Dragunov match from NXT, and, I dunno. It was definitely memorable and engaging, but it was also two beefy guys slapping each other raw for half an hour while grunting like they're passing a kidney stone and occasionally doing a German suplex. And Walter comes out straight up wearing an SS coat. What is it with wrestlers having so much in-ring dialogue now, is that the new WWE house style now there's no audience, or have they always done it and you just hear it better now?

I have hated Miro the character with a deep passion from the moment I first laid eyes on him, and have been a big fan of how well Miro the wrestler portrays him for the same length of time.

A clown makes the most sense out of any of the early 90s "job" gimmicks because wrestling is inherently such a carny sideshow business. Although by that logic Kizarney should have worked like an absolute charm, and he did not. Evil Doink, by the way, but for the 90s, not for today when the whole evil clown thing is so prevalent that friendly clown is the subversion.

Completely par for the course for wrestling that the midcard has all the interesting characters and goofy stories while the main event scene is Very Serious and features largely interchangable dudes (although AEW is ahead of the curve by a great amount there, between Moxley and Omega and all).

What are the storylines going into this year's Mania? Some friends and I might do an online watch party and I can't be arsed to look it up. I know we're getting boring old Randy Orton vs. the Boogeyman and I know we're getting another Steen vs. Generico.

I remember Hulk Hogan intimidating a car alarm, and intensely scrutinizing both the movie and my WWF tapes in a personal pre-internet era to figure out if it was really the Undertaker and why the hell they wouldn't credit him as they did Hogan.

Jesus Dynamite is a whole lot of non-match content this week. Just so much talking. Plus, I don't care about Mike Tyson one bit and now he's coming back next week? Spare me. Did enjoy Sting calling out Jake the Snake on being a lovely mentor though.
