Two things:
First, everyone should watch the amazing intro to this Saturday Night's Main Event. Gets you hype as fuck for the whole thing:

Second thing is for either Boots or Stro, whoever feels like doing me a favor - I'm at work or I'd do it myself but:
Can you gif the Hulkamania titty shake after the first match with Macho Man/Jake? It's right at the start of hoggin's promo.

Miz is the real winner here. He's got Maryse and we've got to say that Miz won
It's funny, my wife doesn't watch wrestling regularly..but she knows more or less what's up. When it came to Miz being Champ my wife was basically "Just No." She said she realized it's supposed to be entertainment, but even for her it was too much to ask for.
"Am I supposed to believe Miz can actually kick someon'e ass???? This is ridiculous."

Punk got that same treatment. Who would win in a shoot fight, Punk or Miz?*
* assuming Miz doesn't get headlocked at the beginning ala kofi

God her doctor was incredible. Hopefully now that shes free she will set them free for the rest of the world.Speaking of the ultimate warrior
Absolutely. I've even given Punk crap about not looking "tough."
But he's good on the mic and has good matches, so you know. People can let shit go if you can find a way to make them buy it.

Thank you based Stro, these titties will be making the rounds at GAF.
I have never watch 80s wrestling in my life but wow that intro is amazing! Very simple promos quickly explaining the up coming matches without anyone trying to bury anyone. I mean, Hogan making Hercules (or anyone for that matter) sound good? Blows my mind.

It's unreal. Some of the best stuff was on those shows. PPV caliber matches if not better, and a hot, hot, HOT crowd. Jesse and Vince on commentary, in their golden age as well. Promos off the fuckin tank, talent through the roof.
SNME in 86 was one of the best things ever.

Yeah, it's really good. Very simple, but clear direction on all of them. Everyone had something worthwhile to say or do.
If you wanna see something else insane, check out Hogan's promos when he had a 3 month feud with The Genius. He put him over huge...until it was time for the ring work.
The Genius created a mathematical formula to take Hulk down!
(The idea was Hogan's, by the way.)
vRaw Viewership for Batista return:
hour 1: 5.249
hour 2: 4.995
hour 3: 4.363
Avg: 4.869
Batista brought the viewers back but most left when they realized he won't be back for the third hour even with the tease of Cena coming late in for work to confront Orton in the 3rd hour.

Considering I only vaguely remember pre Attitude Era/1995 stuff that was a breath of fresh air. I couldn't even imagine John Cena doing that. It also works better than constantly shitting all over your opponent: if the other guy is shit then of course you should win, but if you actually respect your opponent then win then you look all the better.
I'm not saying it should be like that all the time but would be a nice change of pace.

I'm going with Chris Masters as GOAT Titty-Shaker.
For sure. WWE needs nights like that, where they're at a hot-ass crowd and take a real old school feel to it. Hell, I think WWE should bring back SNME in a form - but as Old-School Raw nights. Then you can bring in lapsed fans with legends showing up while also introducing new guys.

I'm sure of one thing, Batista is headlining Wrestlemania.
Either he wins the Royal Rumble or Bryan will win, and Batista will take the title at Elimination Chamber.
Spotlight please.
Not you Sunny, the impostor Vince.

Not too surprising to be fair. Dude was the biggest star in the past decade after Cena. If he didn't pop the viewership like this, I'm sure Vince would be having a heart attack.
Not you Sunny, the impostor Vince.
woah..when was the last time that happened
RIP Glamazon
See? She was 100 times better than Kaitlyn
and unlike Kaitlyn she was a goddamn champion.
I legit feel bad for wrestling fans who didn't grow up with 80s WWF. The ring work wasn't the best a lot of the time, even with great workers, but it was the whole package. Everyone had a character, promos mattered and were often coked up madness, best announcing in WWE history (as much as I love JR), bright and colorful without being insultingly childish like the modern PG era. NWA had better wrestling. Memphis and Texas had crazier angles. But nothing is more comforting to me than WWF from 1986ish-1992.

This is why the Rockn' Roll wrestling Era is my favorite. Even though I started modern wrestling in the Attitude Era. The Era of Hogan, Mach, Jake, Taker, Dibiase is the BEST.

They're good, but lately, I've really REALLY been loving Vince/Jesse. A whole hell of a lot. They're definitely at the top.
Probably only going to be understood by about 5 people who post here.
That's the best episode of Only Fools and Horses
Calm Down there McMahon!

Now...now Jess, that's no reason to try to put a damper on this championship win!

Big Dave's winning the Rumble. And whatever the final match at WrestleMania happens to be.
The kiddies want to see this 45-year-old guy wreak havoc despite being older than Brett Favre.
Hope he can still Batistabomb properly when he's not wearing skinny jeans.
Brotista is dead. His only tolerable character no longer exists. This is now Big Dave's time to shine.
It's Brotista's time now.
I hope WWE see this and realise the only option for Wrestlemania is Batista vs. Lesnar. I want that Hell in a Cell later in the year also.
Win Macmahon? Hogan just stole that championship away from a deserving Hennig!
Thesz telling a funny joke.
The classiest wrestler I've ever seen since Freddie Blassie

Tony/Brain/Dusty is my favorite. Dusty on commentary is just the greatest thing ever. Gorilla/Heenan is probably my favorite that WWE has ever done. I don't know why WCW would have Bischoff or the LIVING LEGEND or god forbid the football player guy on commentary when they could have just had Tony/Brain/Dusty 24/7 on every show. Most of the time they just made fun of Tony the whole time and that made life enjoyable.
Gorilla/Brain, Gorilla/Jesse, Vince/Jesse, Vince/Brain. All great. Pretty hard to pick one. I love Jesse always fucking with Vince.
Guys I hated on commentary:
Lord Alfred Hayes: Was always disinterested, called things by the wrong name, and would bury dudes like he's doing commentary for Raw in 2014.
Superstar Billy Graham: Never have promo skills translated less to good commentary. Just awful.
Brother Love: I hate the whole character of Brother Love. His segments were bad enough, but when he got to do color on a whole show...fuck.
On the fence for Piper. Sometimes he was really good and funny, but other times he was really unfocused and more distracting than anything.

Well Larry Z is a great commentator, but that's an unpopular opinion round these parts. Dusty with Tony and Brain was good, for sure, but put a Public Enemy match in there and I start having a freakout in a bad way.

Oh CHRIST
I was born in 1988, about the only thing I remember pre Attitude was anything to due with Bret Hart, even then not very well. I was just going to wait until the Network is available in Canada to start the backlog but now I kinda want to just dive in now. Any suggestions as to when to start?

Im surprised some gaffer never got an HQ shot of Kaitlyn's boob popping out in Raw a bit back. You know her roided fiance was begging her to leave before #batistasback
