TBF, the entire industry was in the shitter at that point.
Dude was huge and all in the worst area.

I did not realize that Savio Vega, Henry Godwinn, and Rikishi were wearing the same shirt during their Survivor Series match.

Probably Luke
But for comedic purposes I'm rooting for Jinder because I don't want anyone I like getting fed to Randy Orton...
And Jinder in a WWE title match is inherently hilarious.
People don't remember or know just how badly the triple whammy of the Iraq war controversy, the steroid admission by the hulkster, and the sex scandal fucked over US wrestling for most of the early 90's.
Hulk on Arsenio did just as much if not more damage to the WWF than Benoit did. The Iraq war torpedoed an entire WM (and a year of booking) but it was a drop in the bucket. The sex scandal was a witch hunt mainly done because the previous steroid scandal made wrestling a familiar topic for these daytime shows and they decided to go back to the well for more.

The rare triple negative.
That's what Bret calls Triple H.
As long as it's not Mojo.
Seriously fuck Mojo. I'd rather watch a 24 hour Enzo/Cass/Roman marathon then watch 1 Mojo match.

You did know they were part of the same outside group as the Undertaker -BSK (Bone Street Krew)?

Yes. The hat that Rikishi wore to the ring gave it way too.
Remember when we had a 6 Park challenge last year with Cena, AJ, Corbin, Bray and the winner was Ziggler?
Probably Sami or Luke gonna win tonight, but I can see Mojo winning and I'm not joking

Hell yeah, Randy is going to be Hindered.
Edit: Wait that sounds bad, I don't want Randy getting concussed or anything.

I just realized that I made a positive Bret Hart joke, in 2017.
Your power of positivity is wearing me down and I don't like it!

There's something funny about the fact that of 3MB Slater was the one who survived and stuck around and now he's the only one not in a good spot.
Reigns said on Talk is Jericho he used to be like 320 pounds. It must be tons of hard work to not get fat with those genetics.
What did Jinder even do while he was gone from WWE?

Juicy J is about to retire Orton by knocking his shoulder out of place with a stiff forearm smash
no one ever seems to say that when they're talking about diesel not drawing
Hey, I've been watching 30 Rock. It feels surprisingly dated at times. Like, the waning Bush years feel weirdly quaint in this post-Obama/President Trump world.
Trump has been joked about at least once and Obama has been mentioned like a pie-in-the-sky presidential candidate (it's late 2006/early 2007).
So weird. Pretty funny at times, though.

I should be mad, but I can't stay mad when the New Day is out and about.
I should roll you up for this, but I don't have enough grump in me. Thanks for cheering me up.

Diesel as a character did suck though, but the industry was definitely in a low point then
The Iraq story line with Slaughter and Hulk will continue to be one of the top 10 most baffling things the WWE has ever done. This was a fun look back on TLF and I had no idea Slaughter had so much heat for this he was wearing a bulletproof vests to all the arenas; supposedly he wrestled hogan in it.
I don't remember the sex story controversy.
Damn, Rosey must be double that.
And didn't Reigns get popped for abusing fat burners? Just saying, must be hard.
Yokozuna died at 34 and Umaga at 36. Granted not sure if being overweight contributed to how Umaga died.
1992-1994 are even worse because WCW is also completely in the shittier. Late 1993 both are running a lot of high school gyms and really small venues and not selling them out.
Sami will win the 6-pack cahllenge AND the belt. You gotta believe.
Various people came out an accused Patterson of raping them. Then one or two similar affairs with Vince. None of them ever went anywhere, especially the Patterson stuff. Vince did "fire" him for a few months so it would blow over.
You must be an active WWE Network subscriber on April 17, 2017, AND have first ordered WWE Network before August 1, 2014. In addition, you must be a U.S. resident, who is 18 or older, on April 18, 2017. See Official Rules for a more complete description of the eligibility requirements.
Excuse me?
Financially. Worst period for the company is like 1990-Hogan showing up.
I'm curious as to how many would be entered in such a contest. You have to be an active subscriber as of yesterday, and have first subscribed before August 2014 which is in the first months of the Network.
Started in late February, no? It was after EC.

I can't believe Bischoff didn't immediately put an angry Bret Hart on tv after the screwjob, it's such a carny move, how could any carny worth his salt resist?
RIP Rosey.
RIP Rosey.
Fixed for those who've seen the Hulk/Arsenio interview
Oh if Bret had only spent just a month in ECW.
I subscribed for a month when the Network first launched.
Then re-subbed when they gave 3 free months for Mania.
I still got entered in this contest.
