I'd say guys like Rey, Eddie, Benoit all made themselves into stars in the Ruthless Aggression era.
Hell, I'd say Triple H was a star made by the Ruthless Aggression era, for better or worse. He had the whole McMahon thing and 'A McMahon In Every Corner,' but he always felt like an extension of HBK then an extension of Vince. It wasn't until his 'reign of terror' that I would truly put Triple H as becoming a star. He just always felt like a third wheel up to that.
I just don't like The Rock, but we've been over this.

Pretty stoked I can go back to a real avatar. Gotta pick right.
Offered a fully masked Kane peanuts on the way to the ring.
HHH is still in the HHH role and he should be because he's still better than Orton and Batista. He's still the best talker, still the best worker, still the best heel. In fact, he's more betterer than them now than he was the first time around.

To you toolboxes that split your time between here and ComicsGaf (White comics, not Manga),
Do you pirate your comic books like you did wrestling PPV's or do you pay for that stuff?

Got damn can JR elevate a moment, the current announce team would probably be sitting their silent or talk in the most bored voice imaginable after Rock stunned Stone Cold

I liked the "chaos" of the Attitude era. Something. About what is going to happen next.
The 4 minte matches were the worst

I would love that. Arn is one of the best ever.
WCW before Hogan was some of the best wrestling ever. A diverse roster from all around the world and you had a lot of guys that came off as legit threats. The WWE lacks diversity and character. Its sad that they don't have Japanese wrestlers like Muta or mid carders like Pillman, Stunning Steve, Rude, etc. who can look credible against main eventers.
Territory style of booking would be better for the WWE right now instead of Hogan booking. The WWE brand itself is a draw so I think having more guys that people can get attached to on the roster would be a good thing. They would also be adding more storylines in the process and they do need more than a few ME storylines. Every belt should have a storyline that gets some time. And they need a bridge with Japan. Doesn't matter if they have to put mask on them they need some Japanese wrestlers and they need to treat them like serious threats. Another problem with the WWE is that they go too far with the comedy. they go to the point where it makes the talent look bad. The WWE shouldn't have to book every top guy for every show. If they build the roster up well then resting guys could be another payoff. They don't necessarily need every title belt holder to be on every damn card. Storylines can be built up around the guys chasing the title.
Basically the WWE could be better if more care is taken with the product.

It's better than indie wrestling. It might be better than normal wrestling!
But hey let me know how Transcendence is!
Of all people to make this post. OF ALL PEOPLE.

WCW right before Hogan came in had a pretty shitty roster. 1991-1992 was fucking DOPE. 1993 had guys like the Equalizer, Charlie Norris, Erik Watts, Ice Train, the Godwinns as Texans, the Kongs, and so on.

Those dudes are fuckin dead though. They ain't gonna get up and hit the guy with Canadian Destroyers
If you would have told me this was a Boootaaay gif, I would believe you!
They're probably all blown up from doing a bunch of random spots and calling it chain wrestling.

Like you weren't one of the biggest Nolan fanboys in the TDKR threads watching that RT rise and fall, living vicariously through other people's opinions on a movie that wasn't that good

Judging movies by gifs is the stupidest thing. So tired of seeing DKR gifs in movie threads.
Raid 1 was dope. Raid 2 looks to continue the dopeness.
oh no he hit the guy 5 times with a bat. .moive sucks!!!

And that's another thing, since we're on my weekly indie rant. Chain wrestling! SO FUCKING STUPID! Fucking destroys your suspension of disbelief. And the fact that people like Alex Shelley and Quackenbush think it's a fucking skill.
Congratulations, you can hold a guys arm while you go from one move with no impact to another move with no impact to a weak looking submission hold. And for some reason, the entire time you're doing this, the other guy isn't kicking the shit out of you or punching you with his free hand. I blame Euros like Bootaaay and Bean Breath for this blight on wrestling.

But I wasn't. I haven't posted about RT% in like 5 years! Actually, 4 years. I think Inception was the last time I actually used RT.

They got all their spots in and still got destroyed. If anything, it's the anti-indie wrestling!

They're totally right, too. Fuck Jim Ross. He's just a bitter old dude on the outside of a business that has passed him by.

Someone already said Cody, but if not him, they need to find a heel that needs the rub of being up there with 'Tista, Orton and Mr. Hs, someone who you could viably see as a future of the company. You could "splinter" The Shield and have it be Reigns ... but then what purpose does Evolution have to be around right now if not to fight The Shield? So we can't go that route.
There's really no good answer. There's guys who kind of fit (both halves of Rybaxel, Sandow, etc.) but it's not a big enough of an addition to make people care. No one's going to give a fuck about Curtis Axel joining.
Also, I love Triple H's new Wikipedia picture: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_H
Longer than pro wrestlers sell injuries during their time off! And Bruce came back fresh and better than ever. See Vince, time off IS a benefit! Give Cena a month off and he would come back stronger and funnier than ever!

Fuck, you people need to watch more British wrestling. Wrestling's not always a FIGHT, remember, it's a goddamn contest as well.
Hahaha... Biker Limp Bizkit Undertaker was so, so dorky. What a try-hard.

Show me proof or or keep your boca shut, perro.
There's a real double standard here. MangaGaf (I don't think I'm saying anything everyone on this forum doesn't already know) doesn't pay for manga. I mean, they're probably not so out in the open about it, I don't know I don't hang out there, but they don't spend a dime on manga. They'll rationalize that it's not available in their country so they're not hurting anyone yada, yada.
White ComicsGAF are super militant about not pirating, at least on the surface. I was just wondering if it was B.S.
Getting me all excited! Just gotta get through stupid 1990... >_>

Maybe the availability is part of it. Western Comics are available through many means, even if you don't have a local comic book store. Lots of readers are traditionalists and prefer print, and digital readers tend to just use services like Comixology. Many like supporting their local store. Some are even aware that comics don't pay!
Idk about MangaGAF though, I don't really read manga

Take a look at the writers, illustrators, editors, and executives in the American comic book industry and then tell me White Comics isn't an apt descriptor.
