I got news for ya. Jack.

RIP George Steele and Nicole Bass. Not sure if either of these have popped up in WrassleGAF yet.

Closer inspection says that, yes, this info is already being discussed. Sorry, I'm drinking Friday night Scotch and lazy.

Jack.

The storylines are crap because they try and get 8 hours of content from 30 minutes of material.

The wrestling is mostly good if its not a part of getting 8 hours of content from 30 minutes of material. I guess I'd be more on that train if Exhibit A weren't random GIFs from NJPW where people say "see how this dude did a 450 flip from in the ring into the crowd and the other guy caught him mid-flip and reversed it into a high risk DDT from the barricade? That's why NJPW is so much better!" as though people should be doing dangerous-as-fuck maneuvers all day or that its even legal to do flips from the ring into the crowd.

I dunno why fans are so obsessed with the wrestlers doing stuff that will kill them.

I mean the easiest way to so how good a match is by showing a specific spot, to show why NJPW and other Wrestling promotion are so much better would be to a gif of the whole match which isn't feasible. U

This is true.

When the pace, psychology and everything from NJPW clicks it makes it hard for me to enjoy much else. Which may be a bad thing.

Cena vs AJ matches seem like they are considered modern classics but coming out of WK11 made it hard to appreciate the last one.

Chronological Attitude-Era watchthrough, seeing as I never saw it at the time. Started at Survivor Series 1998 and I'll finish at the Mania where Austin turns heel.

Watch WCW, Menome.

This (which I actually alluded to earlier when we were talking about Triple H/Jeff Jarrett) happens around the time of Over the Edge '99:

Eeehhh???

(I actually advise no one to watch any wrestling after, like, 1998. >_>)

I've been watching 2003 Smackdowns and their respective PPVs for a while now and has been pretty fun so far, the only things I skip is everything related to HHH and evolution

I was originally going to watch WCW as well, but I watched the first couple of episodes of Nitro from 1999 and it was fucking terrible.

When I do my next plan, which is a Macho Man career-run, I'll have to do so, but I'll put it off as much as possible.

John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I wanna get off my chest.

I don’t hate you, John. I don’t even dislike you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate… this idea… that you’re the best… because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am, and that’s kissing Vince McMahon’s ass. You’re as good at kissing Vince’s ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don’t know if you’re as good as Dwayne… he’s a pretty good ass-kisser… always was and still is. Oops… I’m breaking the fourth wall. [Punk waves to the camera.] I am the best… wrestler… in the world. I’ve been the best ever since Day One when I walked into this company, and I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar… and he split, just like I’m splittin’, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is that I’m going to leave with the WWE Championship.

I’ve grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon’s imaginary brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that they’re just that. They’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me, and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I’ve proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, and even on commentary. Nobody can touch me. And yet, no matter how many times I prove it, I’m not on your lovely little collectors’ cups, I’m not on the cover of the program, I’m barely promoted, I don’t get to be in movies, I’m not on any crappy show on the USA Network, I’m not on the poster of WrestleMania, I’m not on the signature that’s produced at the start of the show. I’m not on Conan O’Brian, I’m not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be, and trust me, this isn’t sour grapes, but the fact that “Dwayne” is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I’m not makes me sick!

Oh hey, let me get something straight, those of you who are cheering me right now… you are just as big a part of me leaving as anyone else, because you’re the ones sipping out of those collector cups right now, you’re the ones that buy those programs that my face isn’t on the cover of, and then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face thinking you can get an autograph and sell it on eBay because you’re too lazy to get a real job.

I’m leaving with the WWE championship on July 17 and hell, who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling… maybe I’ll go back to Ring of Honor… [Punk waves to the camera again] hey, Colt Cabana, how you doing? The reason I’m leaving is you people because after I’m gone you’re still going to pour money into this company — I’m just a spoke on the wheel — the wheel’s gonna keep turning. And I understand that… that Vince McMahon’s gonna make money despite himself… he’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire… you know why he’s not a billionaire? It’s because he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical [censored] yes-men like John Lauranitis, who’s gonna tell him everything he wants to hear… and I’d like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, but the fact is it’s gonna get taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family.
