Top to bottom is a bit of an exaggeration. WWF only had so many people in those two years, and while WCW had pretty much everyone else they could only seemingly book well for their low and mid card guys after Hogan showed up (and most of the second half of 1996-early 1997 with the NWO) while the rest of the time they fucked up the main event. So if you jammed the first half of any given WCW show with the WWF main event you'd have the perfect show.

Which is why I mention nostalgia being a big factor in my opinion in the comparison. I still think inspire of the flaws of each they were more well rounded and compelling than 13-14. It's honestly astonishing to think about how much Hogan & Bischoff buried that company but then again we're kind of living through it again now.

If Corbin had kept that hair, and was ripped, he'd be WWE champ right now.

Hair is overrated. Corbin just looks terrible with long hair and a receding hairline. He should either let it go or invest in a transplant or something.

You're right about him needing to hit the Jinder Juice though.

 

[Man God]

yup

both shows had a lot of crap going on.

the key difference is wwf wasn't actively working against it's rising stars back then like they are these days. wcw wasn't as a company, but the top guys were working against the lighter guys being pushed.

wwf tag division back then was some of the worst in wwf history.

Even the WWF tag division was top heavy, only this time with only one act Bulldog and Owen Hart, who finally die down just as the next act that will carry them for two more years, the NAO get over!

 

[Menome]

Low is better!

I need you to imagine a gif of the moment when Cooper, Truman, Hawk and Doc line up in a profile shot similar to the cover of Low.

 

[Zach]

You can't control my mind, Menome!

 

[Menome]

You can't control my mind, Menome!

.

 

[Zach]

I love you, Menome.

Oh my gah, they just said this is Khali's eighth Rumble. Wow.

 

[TarpitCarnivore]

Zach who do you like more: Khali or El Gigante?

 

[Heroman]

I like Punk and Bryan a lot, but they can't hold a candle to the all-time great period of wrassle.

Yeah, they are better.

 

[sf2fanatic]

.

That actor was a boss.

Shang Tsung and Heihachi..

 

[Zach]

Zach who do you like more: Khali or El Gigante?

Which one was in the one-day Dudes with Attitudes stable in WCW? Hmm?!

Yeah, they are better.

Shut up, Heroman. You weren't even alive in 1997.

 

[Professor Beef]

Yeah, they are better.

Punk is already a giant mark for himself, he doesn't need you to help.

 

[Zach]

Wow. The profound disappointment of Mysterio being #30.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Corbin is fine

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Wow. The profound disappointment of Mysterio being #30.

poor dude got buried

 

[RecRoulette]

Wow. The profound disappointment of Mysterio being #30.

BOOYAKA BOOYAKA BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Zach]

That whole fiasco was something else.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

even worse the next year.

 

[Nocturnowl]

One day we'll have a good royal rumble again.
This year actually came close but man, the ending really did a number on it.

 

[Dynedom]

Kenny Omega in at 30 at the next RR. Wins it.

Loses to Roman Reigns at Mania

Vince wins

 

[Menome]

One day we'll have a good royal rumble again.
This year actually came close but man, the ending really did a number on it.

Roman might retire within the next #5Years and we get a good send-off Rumble in 2022.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

At the White Sox game right now and relief pitcher Tommy Kahnle just came out to Nakamura's music.

 

[shaowebb]

Corbin is fine

Corbin is just ANOTHER failed football player they nabbed. Colts and Cardinals. He also failed at boxing. He's not much of a wrestler either. Hell when your big dream dudes are Bossman and Slaughter your not gonna be moving a lot out there.

He's a future failed big dude and has all the ear markings as such.

 

[Zach]

 

[Anth0ny]

Corbin needs to inject JUICE from the basement of titan towers so my simulated athletics viewing experience can be slightly more believable.

 

[Syder]

Maybe the reason why Corbin has kept the silly hairline is because part of his gimmick is about the 'End of Days'/Post-Apocalyptia and he wants it too look like he has radiation poisoning...

Huh?

Spoiler

Right?

Spoiler

...Guys?

 

[Professor Beef]

Corbin is fine

someone's got a crush~

[Strangelove77]

I keep reading, "Juan Wrasslin."

I wish it was.

 

[Heroman]

Corbin is belpw average and when you are around people like nakamura or AJ Stlye below average isn't enough.

 

[excelsiorlef]

Nah the only Bryan Adams I like is this guy

 

[SparkleMotion]

I just lurk this thread for the wrestling GIFs.

Boo-urns.

 

[Foggy]

[TarpitCarnivore]

Corbin is better than Test, Meat, Diesel, Gigante, Khali, Cass, Bastion, Mantaur, etc.

 

[avengers23]

Someone say WCW

Did someone say 1997 WCW?!

I did

My father started mentioning that he watched some mexican wrestling and was amazed by it. Do I have to roll him up to get my heat back?

Nah. Mexican wrestling is fine.

 

[Rimfya]

I can't believe they made Roderick Strong reasonably interesting. Though they could lean harder into his "regular dad" gimmick with a puffy vest and takeaway coffee.

Also Black's intro is great but needs a better start and should be played 200% louder than anyone else's.

List is invalid.


Disco Inferno was one of the best nWo members

 

[Egg0]

Nah. Mexican wrestling is fine.

Goddamn juggalos.

 

[Syder]

David Flair is worse than Bone Soldier.

 

[Mahonay]

David Flair is worse than Bone Soldier.

Yes. David Flair could barely perform basic, day 1 of wrestling school moves.

I know Bone Soldier is terribad but I've only seen him in the New Japan Rumble at WK.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Is Cass gonna be the next Nowinski?

 

[FlammableD]

Chris Daniels in his Curry Man tights going over on GLOW

 

[Sinatar]

So who's watching the twitch Wrestlecircus thing in half an hour?

I've never watched Wrestlecircus before but I'll give it a bash, can't argue with free.

 

[FlammableD]

oh christ superface riley

oh shit that's the PWG legion hall!

Unfortunately I won't be able to see most of it. Hopefully they've ironed out some of their production issues like camera placement and noise levels.
