That was verrrrry close to being verrrry bad for Cena. Show didn't really get a lot of distance before landing.

I am a 90s kid and I was remembering some of the charcters and storylines of the past. Million dollar man and his corporation, psycho Sid, early rock and Nation of Domination, Hardy boys, ultimate warrior etc. I loved all that. Nostalgia bias it might be but nowadays it doesn't seem the same.
Well, HHH, you uh, uhhhhh, you like being the GAME, right? Well you're *looks around for inspiration*, ehhhhhh, the....THE LAME!
Crowd of idiots: YAAAAAAHHHHH! THE LAME THE LAME THE LAME THE LAME!

So Triple Threat then KEVIN RUDOLPH CONCERT then destruction of Bork.
Being fucking stupid as per normal. The fact that Cole is doing a MUCH better job tonight shows how bad these 2 are at commentary.

In three matches so far, the kick to the back of the head while the opponent is on the knees happened.

Yeah. Alex Wright was another exceptional character. They're incomparably better than today's wrestlers.

Yeah that one actually looked legit. We'll see if that is a trend or a one time thing though
Perhaps he saw Cena's high knee and thought "well shit I'm not keeping any embarrassing moves like that around"
It isn't. WWE has really tried to distance itself from its wrestling history over the last 5-6 years.
Look at any of the feuds from 2004-2007. you'll notice the crowd is a lot more lively. There's a notable shift in the intensity of the crowds around 2007/2008 compared to, well, any time in the previous 30 years.
During the last "dull" era in the WWF/E back in the early/mid 90s, a lot of younger fans (like myself) had been raised on old AWA/WWF/NWA tapes from the 80s by our parents/grandparents.
Now, there's other distractions, so the kids who tune in for Cena don't really pay attention to wrestling or watch old stuff like we did.
Also, there's no... oh god wtf
