I was not expecting to see an El Generico head just bobbling around as I scrolled down the page and lost it.

Stay classy, WrestleGAF.

I made that bobblehead a while ago. I made a whole shit-ton of them during the Mavs championship run on NBAGaf, and made that one as well. Almost forgot I had it...

I have a Jeritroll one waiting to go...It's pretty funny.
 

Damn, they really nailed the excitement of a 2012 WWE live crowd.

Still watching the Rise & Fall of WCW. Jesus Christ, AOL cut Ted out of the picture and that's why WCW was sold? AOfuckingL? LOL! Nearly twenty years of history dumped to the curb for a merger that lasted less than a decade, with a company that was a dinosaur rapidly approaching extinction to begin with. Seriously, AOL killed WCW? And the guy that did it also cancelled Animaniacs, Pinky and the Brain, and Freakazoid?

AOL.

Edit: LOL, Jericho could have afforded to, and would have, bought WCW. AOL was clearly far too eager to dump it.
 
We should put that in the WWE 12 survery.

Q: What could we do to make Road to Wrestlemania mode better?
A: Make it more like WWF No Mercy on the N64.

I know what I'm doing tomorrow. XD

AOL killed WCW?

AOL!

In 2001?!

This makes me mad

This makes me angry


One day WCW will rise from the ashes and WWE will be NO MORE.

I wish.
 
Which one is that? I'll have to check it out.

Breaking the Code: Behind the Walls of Chris Jericho. Its on Netflix, HD.

The other thing of note is that it doesn't have one of those major downside/conflict moments a lot of of documentaries have, like a major injury(because Jericho just doesn't get injured), or problems with drugs or being a dick to people(because Jericho is better then that). The worst challenges he seem to run into was not getting pushed enough despite everything he's done.

Which, of course, isn't a bad thing; I think that just speaks to the character the man has. He's a supremely talented, multifaceted entertainer who's been working his ass off in the wrestling world for over 20 years, and he still finds way to re-invent himself and come up with new ways to keep the audience's attention.

He's just the complete package.

Flair's made a mention in one of his books where he said if had known how low WCW was going for, he would have bought it himself. Company was basically worthless after they lost their TV slot.
 
Watching Superbrawl 97 right now.

Dean Malenko is soooo good.

The cruiserweight division in WCW from 97 through 98 was world class entertainment.

AOL killed WCW?

AOL!

In 2001?!

That, and every decision Vince Russo ever made on the creative side too. Still...AOL served WCW up on a platter to McMahon.


Breaking the Code: Behind the Walls of Chris Jericho. Its on Netflix, HD.

I just got that DVD from Amazon yesterday. Gonna watch it tomorrow.
 
If only Kane used urine fountains on the ring posts.

I'd honestly be really surprised if Vince hasn't already thought of something similar in writers' meetings. He was into a body fluids stage at one point.

Maybe the tag-team partner Droz never had the chance to have would've had this gimmick.
 
AOL did everyone in WCW a favor. There was no coming back from the hole WCW dug for itself.

I was actually starting to like WCW in 2001 after Russo left (again)........then of course right after, the company goes under.

Would've been interesting to see how guys like Rob Van Dam and Steve Corino would've done in WCW 2001 if the Bischoff/Fusient purchase had worked out.
 
Is the rise and fall DVD the one presented by DDP? I feel like I haven't seen it, but I know I've seen something he presented and this would be the obvious choice.
 
Again with the anti-Goldberg propaganda.

I'm going to start spearing people and Jackhammerin' people left and right.

Who's next? YOURE NEXT!
 
The Rise and Fall of WCW dvd is also very interesting, but very sad at the same time. They had sooo much talent during their heyday, with so many big angles making them boatloads of money. NWO was HUGE, Goldberg was HUGE, Crow Sting was HUGE, the cruiserweight division were putting on the best matches out of anybody in North America, they had EVIL Hogan and Savage and Flair and Bret Hart, and it looked like the good times weren't gonna end. 84 weeks in a row they beat WWF in the ratings, had them on ropes of bankruptcy, they were this unstoppable train of success.

But then you got one bad move after another. The splitting of the NWO/Wolfpac diluting the stable, the Fingerpoke of Doom, the non-wrestlers winning over actual wrestlers, giving away Goldberg beating Hogan on TV, Ultimate Warrior's comeback and that ABOMINATION he did with Hogan at HH98, Vince Russo coming in trying to recapture lightning in a bottle he spearheaded with the WWF's Attitude Era but without Vince's filter leading to COUNTLESS stupid and inane storylines and angles...WCW became a parody of itself, it was burning through money. AOL did what any sensible company would do and cut back on how much money to give to these incompetent business runners.

Which is a big reason why TNA frustrates me to no end, because it SHOULDN'T be as bad as it is. Its run by many of the same people who oversaw the rise and fall of WCW, who should have learned what NOT to fucking do to success in professional wrestling, but keep fucking up anyway, and now its even worse. WCW was an actual competitor to WWE, and in doing so gave us the most lucrative and successful period pro wrestling had ever seen. This isn't the case for WWE vs TNA of today. WWE doesn't even consider what TNA are doing, they're a fucking joke. And that's embarrassing, honestly.
 
From another board:


Don't know if anything will ever come of this (prolly not), but there's a conversation on the [Wrestling Observer] board about TNA's deal with Spike running out this year and Meltzer hinted that while Spike was eager to keep pro wrestling on their schedule (to go with Bellator), there might be some other companies vying for the wrestling spot.

wait a minute...

Now this makes me mad. Damnit TNA, you were supposed to be better. Way to screw it up Bischoff and Hogan and Russo.
 
Hey, add me to the Rumble thing. I thought I wouldn't be able to watch it this year, but there is a good chance that I can now.
