Schweinhund posted:Actually the answer is "who cares". Ever since he dumped Chyna, HHH's been a pure company stooge to me. Watching him get the keys to the kingdom yanked from him in such a way is... well it's almost It Was Me,Austin levels of  Part of me does wonder what WWE would be like with Levesque at the helm. It's seemed strangely generic for a while.

Shane was born in 1970 so our memories of him being the Greenwich badboy cast him in his late 20s.

Man, imagine if HHH was pissed enough to jump to AEW and the NXT became some shitass D-GenerationXT thing. Last time someone was this much of a boy scout we got John Cena.a.

I can't take Lesner seriously with that dick tattooed on his chest. Also lol that McMahon brings him back so often considering he told them all to gently caress off for MMA money or Football or whatever.

Pretty sure that Saudi fail-round was what prompted Taker to step down.  Xotl posted:So out of the 64 worst things in a long line of worst things twitter contest, what was the worstest (with some context, because I stopped following this stuff in the late 80s). Owen Hart - had a 99 gimmick as The Blue Blazer (some super eagle or something iono). During a PPV event, Owen was supposed to descend from the rafters to interrupt a match, but his harness failed and he dropped 70ft onto a turnbuckle. Dude died. Mass Transit - Paul Heyman's ECW days were full of crazy, but this is the time he almost killed a kid. 17 year old lied to be part of a match and was set up against a dude that was infamous for going off the script. Kid gets bladed extra deep, passes out from blood loss, and ends up needing stitches.

Was that after they got Kurt Angle, who turned out to be a loving machine in the ring with his weird thumb-man charisma? Because lightning did not strike twice. I did like Henry as part of a tag-team. Having big unflappable dudes in the roster keeps things interesting.

By all accounts, Taker was the guy that would stick up for employees being mistreated and would occasionally tell Vince he was loving poo poo up. Dude might be a Guns and Ammo conservative in real life but as a workmate he seemed to be legit.

The Last Call posted:It's also why take red hot wrestlers and make them into just another guy or girl on the roaster. * Jessie Ventura advocating for a Union (re:Healthcare benefits + retirement) after getting a taste of SAG*AFTRA thanks to Predator. * Hogan becoming a household name and getting movie opportunities * Hogan, Nash, Hall being on WCW and transferring their WWF-Bourne popularity to a rival * The Rock jumping ship to Hollywood asap * Lesner dropping WWE and coming back to it like his personal piggy bank. Vince just doesn't want any wrestler to get over the WWE branding anymore.

Vince thought that the XFL would thrive because of poo poo storylines like "The L.A. RIPPERS head cheerleader was seen coming out of the Austin GUN-SHOOTERS lockerroom!!!!!" He also tried to launch a Monster Truck show with similar stupid.

It's me, I'm the dummy that was so out of the loop with regards to WCW that I never knew the nWo was supposed to be a riff on WWF In Our House. Having a dozen spin-off nWos and then having it full of WCW staples is sure stupid, though!

I wish I had watched more WWE when Asuka and Kairi were taking the show by storm. I tuned in to the inaugural FOX Smackdown and saw The Rock cutting a spot with Becky Lynch and thought "Well drat, she must be pretty good"

Chyna was done dirty all through the attitude era. I *loved* watching her be this impossible towering figure that threw in with the general roster and wasn't just paraded out for arm candy. It made the D-X stable seem like more than rowdy dumbass mean boys. I stopped watching when she got paired up with Latino Heat. Was that any good.? I got the feeling that pairing was supposed to be insulting to both characters I like to think that society is in a slightly kinder mindset now and wonder if she'd be received differently.
