John Cena is the right man to break Ric Flair's record.
I thought it was GREAT, an intense cartoony promo from the 90s

you're mean
That OP probably pulled a muscle or two calling that a rant, though
He always does these type of tweets.
I liked Chronicle, and his YT videos get a laugh from me.
Then again, I'm still a Ziggler mark so...
Xavier has vomited after taking a poisoned frankensteiner, taken part in two NJPW events and also nearly died here (apologies for gif quality):
#XavierFacts
People are dying Liquid. What would you have me do?

That was basically what smackdown was before the titles merged and there were still mainstays on that show. People trying to get the fuck off of smackdown lol. He doesn't want to make it a B show, but wants to make it so that everyone on it wants to be on RAW? Makes no fucking sense.
But those were ALL IN THE PAST... and today..? Today my friend... IS A NEW.. DAY~!!!!

Let's not go crazy. The Shield was one of the best handled stables in WWE history, with how protected their threat was.
New Day is a comedy act. The Shield was a serious, Attitude era-worthy stable.
That one.

Yeah... Yeah, you're right. Before Jack the reigns were all by pretty big guys and the reigns went to shit once Swagger won.

Booker T is the next Steven Spielberg
Which makes me wonder about the kayfabe concept of PPV payoffs. If the main event of Mania is going to net you the highest amount, why would you not pull a Rollins and cash in during the main event on weakened opponents. Or do some people figure that if they just get the title whenever they can accrue main event money all the way to and including Mania?
Has there ever been an accountant gimmick?

You all know why this happened, don't you?
It's because Brotista left. Vince was like, "Oh god, my number two!" And then he just went fuck it, and started focusing on one title. If he had remained, even if he had ended up a fourteen time world champion, it would've stopped the title from running through a gauntlet of jobbers.
If he was still there, it meant there was balance. Either Cena or Batista had to be involved with one of those world titles. Everything changed after that. Orton went from being like number ten to number two finally, until CM Punk came along, and there were jobbers everywhere. What a horrible time.
Probably didn't help that Shawn, Undertaker, Edge, and Triple H were out, or on the way out either. They pretty much lost everyone in one fell swoop.
I blame Batista though. Damn him for aspiring to be something better.

Anybody remember the wrestling news section on Teletext in the UK? The above post reminded me of a rumour I still remember from there, which was Dudleyz vs. New Age Outlaws in a flaming tables match at King of the Ring 2000 (it ended up being a dumpster match).
This was before I had the internet so no idea if it was an actual rumour or bullshit, but I used to love reading that page.

oh no Vince, what did you do :'(
i always assumed you only hated him cause you had him confused with a rapist
Adios, part-timer.
Argument for Jeff Harvey, although he was getting quality main event time in '08 and '09. But CM Punk was still a solidified midcarder and was already a 3x WHC by that point. It became a joke around then. MitB ruined it.
Catching up on the NXT show from Saturday, and the beginning with HHH and the crowd...
Isn't it amazing how expediently, efficiently, and ruthlessly the megaconglomerate has managed to coopt "cool" "hip" and "independent" counter-culture so shamelessly? I mean god damn.
The first and largest and most successful alternative to the WWE brand is a WWE brand.

I remember that exact rumour. I'd like to think it was Channel 4, in the Entertainment section, where you had to wait for the page to flick over - then press Hold quickly.

Arn Anderson Appreciation on Head Trauma Tuesday?
You realize that some never get that message and get banned multiple times. Hell we had some banned the day they came back from just being banned. People here sometimes don't realize what works here never works outside this thread.
Anyway Raw Viewership for 8/24:
8pm: 3.606
9pm: 3.794
10pm: 3.764
Avg: 3.721
This has to be considered a disappoint to them the night after Summerslam. The only good thing is the 18-49 grew every hour and the highest was a 1.4 for the 10pm hour.
They got beat by a preseason football game. This also can be considered the new normal now with people dropping Cable and more DVRing the show. It will be hilarious if the DVR numbers for this show is huge because how important is that number to USA?

Wasn't Jeff like.. insanely over around then? Like outselling Cena in merch for a while big? Jeff was probably the last time it really meant something. Punk from that era is definitely a red flag in terms of quality, but they always treated his WHC reigns as flukes anyways.
He was treated like shit, basically
