So is Daniel Bryan hanging up the boots?
Or will he turn like Mark Henry did

Friends, I don't get the buzz for Firewatch. I look at the trailers, I look at the screenshots and I muster up the same level of enthusiasm as I do for a fourth-week-running Big Show vs Ryback match. People make Twin Peaks comparisons and I'm not seeing it apart from there being a lot of similar-looking trees.
I normally love these first-person adventure games, but ironically, Firewatch is leaving me cold.
EDIT: IT'S A NEW PAGE, YES IT IS
I miss Summer Rae.

As a bald guy your long hair offends me, shave it off.
Kayfabe died 20 years ago. Get over it.
XI and IX are considered very weak. WM IV is pretty bad too, that tournament is hard to sit though with the terrible crowd.
Edit- everyone will just list modern stuff simply because.
Fuck I really need to stop listening to Lapsed Fan in bed. Hit a point in the podcast and I had to pretend I was coughing because I could not control the laughter. I feel bad about waking up my girlfriend constantly.
Abdullah the Butcher stealing Tony Shiavone's pencil at Starrcade so that he can write into the Wrestling Observer. Then with his Fat Albert voice, Abdullah the Butcher plans to get up early to get back to the Golden Corral, "I'm gonna fuck that place up".
Had to just straight up just change to a different podcast.

Laycool >>>>>>>Lita and Trish
Lets go down the checklist
Shitty attitude era matches CHECK
HHH going over CHECK
Heel going over in Wrestlemania that wasn't because of fan rejection CHECK
Big fat Show taking a hot Y2J's place in the main event CHECK
Al Snow was on the card CHECK
Brian Christopher on the card CHECK
This mania showed us where the future of wrestling would look like. The boss's daughter's squeeze going over despite not being good for business or anyone else wanting it.
You could just tell HHH argued that Rock was already over and Mic was 1 foot out the door so he had to go over.

One Mania that I can truly say, I love not re watching it. Horrible all the way around.
Mania 2000 was one of the first WWE PPVs I went back and rewatched after I got back into wrestling a few years ago. I was caught off guard with just how fucking shitty it was, especially with it being in the middle of their hottest period.

More like who thought a fucking WM without any single matches was a good idea. If anything it was a glorified lite survivor series. No one gives a fucking about that divas match so fuck that.
They probably did it to get as many guys on the card and show WCW guys that they would get featured if they came over.
Plus first mania after Russo they probably just started doing stupid shit thinking its something he would want.

Taker vs Punk was great.

Poor you. I even remember that event being a bummer from when I was a lad
Which is sorta why I can say I'm glad the rock won at that event. To be able to say you won at that atrocious event is a career downer.
They could've easily just done a battle royal for those guy, at least they could've collected a paycheck.
They did. They had the hardcore battle royal.
Do they release him from his contract if he says he is retiring. Because I would love him to say it and then just be wrestling somewhere else next week.
Tonight's the night.

So why in the fuck am I looking at multiple tag matches?
Put your mask on the line, brother, and we'll do this thang.
Anth0ny told me this event is the pinnacle of wrassle.
But according to my grades, I liked WrestleManias VII and XI the least. I better go check out their cards...
Weeeeeeee!
Is that a new Flippy Indie Shit gif I see?

I don't know, IX sort holds a fascinating spot for me. Things that still stand out to me:
- Heenan riding in backwards on an elephant for his entrance
- Giant Gonzales' ridiculous muscle suit
- An extremely small crowd for WM standards
- Bret getting attacked by Luger prior to his match w/ Yoko....which would have made sense if Bret won his match since they then could have just gone into the feud with Luger for the title, but he didn't, so...

XI, the only thing you would watch is HBK v Diesel.

It has Ruckus in it. What do you think?
He's pretty much the poster child for the phrase "Flippy Indie Shit". Some good. Some bad.
Las Vegas will never get a WM again...unless we get that football stadium
Vegas is UFC's town now brother.
