Or putting up with your ignorant pro wrestling takes.

Did you hear the crickets your hero Charlotte was getting at EC Sunday? Spectacular!!

To be fair everyone was getting crickets at EC. Crowd was dead.

I remember back in the day I couldn't wait to watch this every week. Especially while I was little when everyone and their grandma go to school and talk about what happened the previous night. That feeling died out back in 2007. Then I just peak at it once or twice a year, which is always between Royal Rumble and Mania.

Smh. Who the fuck turned this into a social justice garage fed... The women are more tough looking than the men.

Why are women being heavily involved like this Becky Lynch chick... Lol!

No characters whatsoever btw. And the acting. Oh goodness. The acting is beyond horrible.

Gargano dropped his title last night, good sign that he is headed to the main roster permanently.

I so deeply miss the monday night wars.

Waiting for Sting to drop out of the rafters and scaring the pants off the NWO.

Watching Bret Hart out wrestling and outwit much bigger men to be the best in the game in a battle of contrasting styles (the Bret Hart/Undertaker and BH/Diesel matches from the mid 90s are criminally underrated).

Then moving on and watching the Rock use more charisma than basically any other wrestler not named Hogan to become a star even as a heel.

Simply incredible stuff.

Now we get a mid card at best talent female walking around like she has a rake jammed up her ass calling herself a man. FML.

Not a bad match too. I'd say it is tied with the tag tittle match from Raw for MOTY.

Dream does that match in, match out

Triple H has flooded the roster with his NXT talent who are all WWE Disney created characters. They are all the same, and any of the unique ones that actually show promise, are too out of line of the WWE mold that they never get over *Cough Bray Wyatt Cough*

Really pulling for AEW to be special, so it wakes WWE up. The WWE is just going through the motions trying to keep their establishment as a legit global trading company, they are all about the money now and keeping things stable. Zero risks taken, and again, all the characters feel the same, just so generic and WWE built. Like the WCW Powerplant.

You know it's bad when they have to drag Kurt and Shane out of whatever nursing home they were housed in.

Kurt can literally die at any second.

I grew up during the Ruthless Aggression Era @The Q

Find me a feud that was better than Triple H vs Shawn Michaels lol.

I must've watched every one of their matches together + the promo packages over 10 times.

Rock/austin

Bret Hart/HBK (it helped that HBK was a prick in real life)

But I didn't see the HHH/HBK setup. I was more or less done by then.

Were you more of a Nitro or Raw guy?

Easily n.W.o vs WCW/Sting
Bret vs Austin
Bret vs HBK
Kane vs Undertaker
Matt Hardy vs Edge

 

[The Q]

I watched both.

I’d say raw mostly cause my friends were more raw. But I watched a ton of both.

Without friends I probably would’ve watched nitro plus Bret and the rock. Lol

Yeah see I was a Raw guy at first, but Razor, Bret and Diesel were 3 of my favorites. When Hal and Nash invaded WCW, with the n.W.o angle, I was WAY more into WCW which felt far more "real" and edgy than Raw, the exception being Stone Cold vs Pillman and Bret. Didn't get back into Raw again until after WM14, with the rise of the Rock. And lets face it, in 98, WCW started getting stale quick, with Hogan being a massive cvnt, Hall disappearing, Styxx firing, Goldberg squashing jobbers, and the n.W.o split. Did have a few good things....Jericho, Beniot, Booker T, the rise f Scott Steiner as BPP, the introduction of Stacy Keibler as Miss Hancock (God, she was perfection), Kimberly Page being additional featured eye candy....but thats about it.

Please get on that A.S.A.P. Trust me.

I was too young
I was too young
I was too young
Lol nah.
Yeah it's up there. It helped that Edge was actually fucking Lita behind Matt's back and the hate was real.

I need to go see old n.W.o stuff one of these days.

Dude, the n.W.o invasion was wrestling PERFECTION. It will NEVER be topped.

Never.

especially with social media now.

It’s basically impossible

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

I'll get on it one day.

The only invasion I knew was the alliance back in 2001. That was brutal. Not even Steve Austin could save it.

NWO was so real.

The attention to detail.

Having hall and Nash get tickets to scout.

Calling the cops on them

The attacks were so real (mysterio lawn dart) that fans called the cops

damn right, it was genius. The cutaway unsanctioned paid for "matches" that were squash jobs, breaking the fourth wall, mocking the police, coming in through the fans, all of it was brilliant.

And freaking Bischoff had NO PLAN after Starrcade.

I really think he thought he was gonna get Sting/Hogan for 2 more PPV matches.

I know long term he wanted a WCW/NWO brand split at some point. But the way it developed, that was never going to work.
