The heat for Rocky in 97/98 is wow. I completely forgot fans were not into him. And now they all adore him. Sign of things for Roman?
I also made the mistake of going into 1998 PPV. First match of Royal Rumble is Goldust in some ludicrous outfit.

His feud with Ambrose should really help Dean with his promo work after languishing for a while now. Even his short time on commentary and crashing the Highlight Reel were pretty good.
The lionsault on Zayn this week was great. Hope he can stay rested enough for good matches here on out.
this should be bannable
he's not even the greatest of any year he was active
ever
quality, not quantity
snowglobe kliq got HBK turned into a bannable offense
all these kids did nowadays is get the entire community closed

I wonder if Seth will be back for the Japan tour. Him going against AJ or Nak would be amazing.
After that Mania vs. The Sultan, it was little time before he turned. They didn't go on and on and act like the reactions weren't there. He said this recently about how his career changed at that point.
Do you see them doing the same thing for Roman, or any other guys, quite frankly? *looks at Cena* Nah.
I find it funny that the A-1 banner reason that the WWE hired Nakamura was to sell some more seats at 2 yearly house shows in Japan. I doubt the take for one of those shows would cover his yearly wage.
I always found that the magnitude of hate on Rocky was not even in the same league as Roman. There was some chants from the usual suspects, some boos but nothing like the 2 year long odyssey of hate Roman has gotten.
Although you can pretty easily spot the reasons why Rocky was changed so quickly in comparison to Roman: outside competition.

At first I thought he was wearing a cross around his neck, but he's wearing a key?!?!?!

Wonder what they'll headline with...Roman vs AJ? Shinsuke vs AJ? Shinsuke/AJ vs Jericho?
Word is Hideo is close to coming back in the next month...I'd say him vs. Shinsuke is all but a given.
that might be the reason but they're probably covered for his next six months salary in merch sales and free social media marketing alone.
Jericho's kinda hated now because of who he used to be. In a vacuum, 2016 Y2J is a pretty solid hand and a good promo, but compared to how he used to be able to wrestle and work a crowd he's just a fat shill who's two paces behind however he's working with. I still don't mind him, I think $750 scarf Jericho is probably their best heel right now since Kevin Owens is too hilarious to hate.

I check the boxes apart from the levels - I got the game on Tuesday but I've been so busy with work that I haven't been able to devote more than three hours to it. Planning on nerding the fuck out over the weekend though, so hopefully I'll be of use to you by next week.
I'm loving what I've played so far though, my only niggle is the setting feels like a step back after Bloodborne, but I'm so glad it's better than DS2, which felt to me like some interns got to play around with 'Super Dark Souls Maker' for a few weeks.
In wrasslin' news, I decided to watch a '98 Nitro from around the time they changed the logo to the spikey monstrosity as I missed them first time round. Wow, It's amazing they managed to fill arenas like that with such a poor quality wrasslin' product.

Do you think when these guys finally do become tag partners they'll have good chemistry together?

On what inter-dimensional plane has Matt Hardy ever been 'iconic?'
Unfortunately I need to do it ASAP as I'm transferring between two different saves to avoid ruining a quest-line. Thanks for the offer though.

Ah. I would probably get it if I didn't choose to ignore TNA like the rest of the general populace.
After the appalling '98 Nitro, I had a browse at Starrcade '98. How did Stang go from main event in '97 to not on the card in '98?
I know it started in Ring of Honor, but I think Ring of Honor started kind of ironically calling Matt Hardy an icon as part of his heel character and he ran with it.

I've tried ROH a few times, but always found it struggled to keep my attention. My only takeaways were Steen was great, but I couldn't stand the Briscoes or Truth Martini. Or Elgin. Is it worth a look now?
There were multiple HBK threads, and this was when we were a weekly episodic thread. Now we're a monthly episodic thread.
It will probably continue to struggle to keep your attention. ROH has good matches, but the Briscoes, Truth Martini and Elgin are prominent in that promotion.
Injured... also I seem to remember he was having problems with painkillers at the time, and took some time off.
So that's what he was referencing in his HoF speech?

I used to casually read the thread back in the mid 2000s. Snowglobe Kliq was a big nothing.
I haven't watched his speech, but if it's to do with when he came back in 99 looking a lot better, then probably. Think that was when he became a born-again Christian etc.

In the time i've been actively following again it seems like the heat for Reigns has only gone nuclear level in the last 3 months.
Another side note of 97/98: Survivor Series 97 had a sell out record of 20K. TWENTY THOUSAND
You damned right. Simple story that worked very well. Gave us this:
And the now-legendary:
Matt will always be remembered as the other Hardy. Jeff is HUGE, Matt was never even close to that.
I remember that for a long time Jeff, Edge and Punk were the only reasons why I kept watching WWE. Jeff even got me to watch TNA for a while. I had hopes that he would be back to WWE this year and I'm still salty it didn't happen.

Kinda disgusting, Vader never washed his wrestling great. No wonder Shawn was so mean to him.

But Matt had Lita. I remember seeing them at a Outback Steakhouse restaurant and they were cool down to earth people.
He had a better theme song

I wonder if Chris Bennywarts didn't go bye bye, what would've happened with John Morrison?
It's said Benny was supposed to win and Punk was a face so I doubt they have a long term feud. So maybe Morrison would've debuted the following Tuesday to be the heel that feuds with Benny?
Then punk possibly still in the picture so SummerSlam possibly a triple threat match between them?
Also lol at everyone taking Bart to beat Butterbean. Unless there's so run in, he loses.

Trying to find that terrible Matt Hardy video where he talks to a cutout of Edge and eats cereal. The one he filmed in his house.
Argh, double post. slow morning.
