It wasn't bad at all. I was actually disappointed in it because I expected more. Heel Doink was dope and Marty was Marty. It did take me about 4 days to finish that show, but it was more because I spent like 8 hours of Wrestlemania shit on Sunday and then 3 hours of Raw on Monday, plus rewatching WM to make gifs.

Sounds like something I need to watch. I never got to watch WCW ppv's as a kid, so I'm truly looking forward to some of this shit. I'm in 1997 right now and it's alright.

Oh man don't go full Stro, people!
Since watching WCW 2000 I've become an alcoholic, gone through some of the worst depression of a depression filled life, tried cutting for a little bit, gained 25 pounds, started to legitimately hate wrestling for months, and my mom got cancer.
Don't pump trouble and don't watch WCW 2000.

I have to man. After watching that doomsday cage match I knew this was my fate. I need to see just how fucking ridiculous this shit gets. I have plenty of gin & tonics for this.
I understand, stro. Just know you're a legend and first ballot animated gif hall of famer. There's no need to be taking bumps on bare concrete by reviewing mid 90's WWF. Don't let these hardcore animated gif fans shave years off your life to feel one more thrill. You have nothing left to prove.

Stro, don't listen to the people. You know what the people wanted from you? WCW 2000. New Generation. Drinking stories.
SCREW the people.
SCREW the people.

Heel is right Stro. Ride off into the sunset while you still can.
You have no idea how much I was hoping Santino got the win in that Elimination Chamber he was in. Also, when he almost won the Royal Rumble. Was ready to mark out like a madman.
I rocked that shit. Watching it on TNT in the UK on Friday night 9-12 when I had to be at work for 6am the next day.
Was always pissed off that even though Raw and Nitro were obviously taped for the UK, they were still fucking head to head in the Friday night war.

I'm so conflicted
Don't listen to them, stro. Don't lose sight of what made you enjoy wrestling in the first place: THE FANS. US. They're trying to make you stop doing what you really love.

Dammit Stro, do you want to end up old, washed-up, and alcoholic? Listen to logic Stro, do not continue down this path.

On your forehead, right?
I think the guy has talent and all....and maybe deserves a run with the belt with all the shit he's been through for that company, but seriously.....they looked at the fucking roster and figured out who had a beard that they could give the belt to.
Eric Young isn't even a B+ player, C+ is more likely.....if not a bit generous.
Ah yes, an Eric Young reaction post:
In all honesty, how on earth did they come to such a conclusion? And on TV, without spoilers too. If there were spoilers, people might have watched - but it was simply given away!!
When's that TV deal up for renewal? I give them to the end of the year.

Sounds better than my dreams/nightmares.....
That's the exact statement needed here.
His character is someone you want to punch in the face, so I see he did a good job with you, too.

Daichi Hashimoto will go freelance for the time being - his trainer, Shinjiro Otani, thinks it's too soon for him, but has little doubt that he can rise to the top of the business. However, it seems his mother is insisting he go down this route, even though being a freelance wrestler in Japan is tough for someone so young, as she wants to see him as IWGP Heavyweight Champion like his father, Shinya Hashimoto.
He's only 21, so I hope New Japan do sign him up - let him spend a year or two as a young lion, working at the dojo, wrestling Komatsu & Tanaka, then send him out on a learning excursion and by the time he's 23-24, he should be ready to join the main roster.

The way the fans turned their back on him was pretty awesome. When did that first start?
This episode, I think. But it is kind of an inside joke (NXT breeds inside jokes), people don't actually hate him, but his character is of someone usually in denial about how much the fans hate him, so the always top notch NXT crowd plays along.
Not entirely true. The entire gimmick started because people did genuinely hate Bo because he was both boring in the ring and on the mic. He's been very lucky that there's a lot of smart people down in NXT that knew exactly what he needed to do to get around that.

Fair play to him as well, he's making the gimmick work - for the first time he has a character that's actually bolievable.
Oh yeah, for sure. He's been given the direction and he's completely ran with it.
Magnus' character has been damaged so much by his reign. Not sure where they'll go from here because now everyone thinks he legit sucks in the ring. That's how they've been booking him for four months straight.
Still happy for EY. Hope he wins cleanly and retains at Sacrifice, as well as gets a new attitude and maybe some new music.
Too bad they can't help Cena
