I knew they were headed down a shitty path, but I wasn't going to choose not to go there based on an entitled wrestling crowd. I appreciate the warning though.
Scared Miz might touch them.
"Hunter, we're girls. Something might happen."
I still can't believe someone let that get through
"Let's call our roster a bunch of rapists!"

They locked themselves in a Cell and beat up 3 guys who were just made defenseless because of the half hour long match the 3 just had, and then also a cameraman and ref. This was enough to frighten the whole roster except for HHH because The Asskicker Fears Nothing
Ahh, that's right. Thanks!

A roster full of guys so devoid of charisma that WWE's sad attempts at making new stars fell flat on their face. The nail in the coffin of smackdown as a show worth watching. Injuries and wellness policy violations out the wazoo. Dying WCW level clusterfuck booking. WWECW's withering corpse putting out terrible shows. The slow destruction of Undertaker's body because they desperately needed him to feud with everybody just to get someone over. Guest hosts that alternated between cringeworthy and boring. It was Cena and HHH and Orton full throttle, and all of their feuds were dogshit. Vince and co played it so safe after benoit's death that they consolidated everything in order to maintain control, so the tag team, midcard, and women's divisions were virtually destroyed due to a lack of any sort of attention.

I also forgot to mention that Cena's yearlong stranglehold over the title during that time. It's where all the supercena stuff comes from.

Best part of that was his promo package before the match.
Did you not find it edgy? I mean, he was pandering to the internet crowd.

Barely. And after the concussion he got that night, I'm sure "barely" is how he'd reply as well
tried..
I absolutely hated Edge. Awful face, awful heel. He was only good up until when Lita stopped being his valet.
Mostly just because it was the same like 5 or so guys main eventing and facing one another over and over and over and over. It was stale. Basically everything Esto said. It wasn't till the summer of Punk where things started to perk up. It was a little bumpy, but it paved the way to getting us out of hell

Oh and fuck EVERYTHING Vince was involved with onscreen during that time.
Hornswoggle was his illegitimate son.
That phase where he gave out a million dollars to a random internet participant for three weeks which they cut short by blowing up the stage on top of him. And making Mike Adamle GM.
His feud with Orton/Legacy that ended in nothing but Shane leaving forever.
The Bret hart feud.
Nexus putting him in a coma.
STAND UP FOR WWE.

I meant his Nas package!
You mean both times he did it on Raw?
Weren't Miz and R-Truth blamed for the lower than expected buyrate of Survivor Series 2011?

On the bright side, this time period had Chris Jericho in his 'you sycophantic troglodytes' phase, which was so above everything else he's ever done.

He's just a perfect asshole heel. That feud he had with Bryan was perfect (and the combo of him + Cole put it into fucking overdrive).

I'm trying to remember this one in ring interview Cole did with Heel Bryan where Bryan explains why he's a heel, and Cole not only buys it, but does a 180 on commentary and immediately supports Bryan.

Honestly, the majority of the Full Sail crowd isn't that bad. Most of the people I've sat around at the half dozen or so tapings I've attended sit there quietly, cheering and applauding at the appropriate moments. The problem is you've got a couple small pockets of about four or five people on the hard cam that like to chant smarky shit all the time to get a rise out of the friends they sit with. The majority of garbage chants get shut down immediately, like two people trying to start a Leva chant during the Blue Pants match last week.
And you can't be surprised that people who always get to watch a show in-person boo at mentions of a show they won't get to see in-person. It's not like they're like all those awful crowds from last year that would chant CM Punk all show long.
The only real way to solve the crowd issue is to make ticket sales be online only. With tickets going on sale first at the venue, you get the same people standing in line and getting the seats first, causing the crowd to never change.

Apparently WWE was furious about Amanda calling Sara Lee a ring rat. They'll probably hire her anyway, but what a stupid thing to say. There was no way that would turn out well for her.
What if Hunter's daughters Google "ring rat" now, serene? What then?

Still here breh. Not as active because sometime in 2013-2014 I just started to not care as much about This Business unless Brock Lesnar is on screen. Not even keeping up with the G1 this year aside from opening night. *shrug* I dunno what finally broke me tbh
