The important thing to takeaway from the smackdown spoilers is that Barrett can wrestle again.
Just in time for jobbing at potentially his last mania.

I wasn't an attitude era kid but I also tried to do it in the shower. My mom had to tell me to stop since I was getting the bathroom all wet.

I think we also tried that at school.

HHH was over.

Sitting the babyface in your biggest event of the year in the critical buildup to the event makes no sense.

Hollywood Rock and Austin barely interacted face to face in their buildup in Wrestlemania 19. Rock did more with Jeff Hardy and The Hurricane. Actually, The Rock did almost everything. Austin was not on the shows too often.

Difference here being the rest of the roster is in the 50/50 club and not legitimate contenders.

The Cole/Lawler feud in 2011 is surprisingly entertaining. Cole is quite annoying but it was actually a good feud. It's pretty hilarious though how they go from hating each other to being as if nothing ever happened at Capital Punishment

The Cena/Miz feud is so boring though. I turned the I quit match off because it was just awful.

R Truths promo before Capital Punishment is fire. Dude brought it and the build up is just great.

Reigns is a better wrestler in terms of performing his moves than Ambrose is. That might be an unpopular opinion, but I bet you that it isn't controversial.

I'm just saying, Ambrose's moveset includes the Wacky Line in every single match as well as the Wet Noodle Strike Combo.

Ambrose is getting sloppy. On the raw before fast lane he landed on his feet from a top turnbuckle move and sold it so poorly.

There was a Cena/Miz feud? All I remember is the Cena/Rock feud leading up to WM27...

I miss the Cole Mine where he locked himself up into a glass box, was hilarious.

I wonder if they'll do anything special to mark the two-year anniversary of WWE Network? Finally add those Thunder episodes or something.

WCW Saturday Night episodes should take precedence over WCW Thunder episodes in terms of what goes up next on the Network, honestly.

Easily. You got the random dream match on Saturday Night. You got shit every week on Thunder. Thunder is absolutely godawful. Nobody should ever watch it.

Kinda insulted by WWE's claims of Reigns having a broken nose, despite them obviously filming stuff in the hospital BEFORE Fastlane in Cleveland. I guess if they're trying to make him Cena they have to give him Cena's broken nose as well.

Feud may have been the wrong word, but for 2 (maybe 3?) PPV in 2011 the main event was Miz/Cena.

Yup. I'm definitely not missing Thunder. Even when there is a cliffhanger. They just recap it on the next Nitro anyway.

And this makes me wonder: what was the most significant thing to happen on an episode of Thunder? I'm sure someone here knows.

Didn't David Arquette win the title on a Thunder?

So I've been watching The Great American Bash '98 (it's shockingly okay!) and I'm increasingly disillusioned with my boy Tony Schiavone. Not for the much-maligned "biggest/greatest event/night in the history of our sport" or for saying "very, very" all the time or even his cliche-within-a-cliche "the old cliche", but for his sudden overuse of "literally".

Now, I know the definition of "literally" has changed recently and now it's acceptable to use it to add emphasis instead of actually meaning literally (worst change ever), but I will NOT turn a blind eye to incorrect usage in 1998! Especially when it happens literally every match.

My life as a Tony Schiavone apologist is getting harder and harder.

This is actually a really good question. Aside from the obvious David Arquette title win, I honestly can't think of much of anything that happened on Thunder.

Like, if someone asked me for the best moment in WCW Thunder history, I honestly wouldn't know what to say.

I'm sure someone in this thread can think of something significant that happened on Thunder aside from Arquette..........

On the following episode of Thunder, Arquette teamed with Page in a match against Bischoff and Jeff Jarrett, with the stipulation that whichever man got the pin would take the championship. Arquette pinned Bischoff again in the match's finish, receiving the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in the process.

We need to get to the bottom of this. I bet something else happened.

A couple of US title changes.

During Russo's two booking stints he did actually make Thunder about equal with Nitro, but a lot of that is down to how crappy Nitro had become. When he leaves its an even worse show both times.

The problem is that was a once-off pull out all the stops "emergency" angle. Having Vince come back after over a year off TV (and two years off TV before that), having the WWE title change on RAW with that firing stipulation that basically told the audience it was a title chance in advance, and having him super manpunch Vince.

Now Vince is just another authority figure already, and you can't do the title vs career on RAW again.
Plus I mean if you needed to do all that shit above just to get him over for one night, and it fizzled out within weeks, that tells you all you need to know.

If they're going to try and make him Cena, fine. But don't blatantly steal stuff that happened in the past 3 years to other characters. Because that's when you lose control of what you're doing.

A broken nose is a perfectly logical injury to attribute to someone who took the kind of beating Triple H handed out on Monday. It's logical storytelling. They've not lost control of anything.

A broken orbital bone or jaw would also work but those are much harder to fake on a weekly basis and wouldn't have the great visual of blood streaming down someone's face.
