Bless strobogo.
You have to find the one from 92 or 93 I think - half the crowd do it with him. It's amazing.

The unscripted promo shit combined with not telling anyone what they were going to be doing resulted in a fucking goldmine for Botchamania.
 
I'll be honest. I found this to be a nice moment. It's nice we got at least a brief glimpse of some superstars and their reaction to being drafted.

I would have loved if they actually did just cut back to a room all the superstars are in the minute their names were said instead of showing their Titantron and playing their theme.

holy FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK LAPSED FAN JUST DID ROYAL RUMBLE 2000

ONE OF THE GOAT PPVS

it's almost like they follow WrassleGAF member Zach's PPV grading posts! What a perfect tie in!

If you want to get a taste of what a Zach A+ show is like, listen to Lapsed Fan's review of RR 2000.

Except you, Zach. You gotta wait til after the review.

I don't understand why half of the NXT picks were saved for after the show. Common sense would seem to indicate that you'd want to give these guys a big draft reveal to generate hype for the talent. But this is WWE, and they screw up everything. It's like 2001 WCW lives on in them as some crazy ghost.

Thank you for avoiding Zach spoilers, my friend. I hope it's awesome after that dismal Armageddon show.

I read this as you being disappointed Mojo Rawley didn't get TV time for a reveal
 
Cesaro shooting might be the only time I've ever cared about him on the mic. I still don't know if it's the writing or his bland delivery that ruins his normal work for me.

Okay, five out of the six should have been on TV.

But honestly, even though I don't like Mojo I think his draft pick should have been on TV too just to give the guy something. Nobody deserves to get Ascension'd.

Because all of them are gonna be jobbing. The ones that were on TV were on TV for a reason.

btw this officially puts Cesaro in Ziggler tier - his best promos are off TV and mostly frustrated shots at management. Just wait till he starts really phoning it in wrestling wise. The transformation will be complete.

Anyone think Dolph can turn it around?

If Matt Hardy can... I believe.
I've really soured on Dolph over the years. A lot of things I think and say about him are probably unfair, but here's something I think is perfectly fair.

Matt has constantly and consistently reinvented himself when things got stale. He went from jobber to xtreme dude to whatever Matt Hardy V1 was to bragging about how rich he was to ROH fans to #Broken Matt Hardy. There might be more in there that I'm not even aware of.

Dolph does this dumb wink/nudge passive aggressive complaining thing interspersed between telling everyone how he's that damn good and that he's going to steal the show or whatever. He's been doing this I came back to wrestling in 2011. He's never bothered to truly reinvent himself or do anything significant to change his situation. He just tells everyone he deserves better.

Dolph Ziggler - in the WWE

Matt Hardy - not in the WWE

some key differences here.
