After hearing what HHH said on the conference call and seeing highlights of this product, him taking over fully is probably when I start watching again.

What have you got so far?
OK, well you're nearly there. Good choices thus far, what about his Hair? I thought it was nice.
Edit: Love how perturbed the Sting fan looks in that picture.
I think it's the same guy that was on the Raw after Wrestlemania. I thought that Sting fan only looked depressed because of his TNA run, but clearly I was mistaken.
He hasn't aged a day.
Which is surprising considering how worried he looked back then in the WCW days.

Luger was awesomely hilarious, so many unintentionally funny bits he was involved in. From his high as tapped ribs to "WE HAD A TAG!" moments. I agree with Tony Schiavone he wasn't Lex Loser like Hogan said.... he was Lex Champion.
Luger had those 90s white girl butts all over the place in his Wrestlemania entrance. I appreciated that.
But that's because of the girls, not Luger. And this is a non-ironic post, so I'm looking for legit things he did that I enjoyed. Remember that time Luger wrestled Sting in a lumberjack match and every lumberjack had a cast on his arm? Russooooooooo hoooooooo

I genuinely don't even want to know why the hell a match like that would come about.
Even though I don't agree with a lot of the booking from last night... Isn't it great that we're seeing so many clean finishes these days in WWE? I don't like that Cena won. I don't like how Shaemus won (but I don't mind that he did). I don't like how Paige won (but I like that she did).
But they all clearly won. Yet another reason why it wasn't like watching Raw. The matches actually all had proper endings.

Total Divas finale was awesome, dem feels, was really nice. <3 Can't wait for next season!
Raw was ok, couple of good matches with decent spots. Brie's slap heard round the world got a pretty sweet reaction.

If anyone is in a giffing mood, 35 seconds in on this clip is a beautiful Shining Wizard for the taking:

What about that brief period of time in '94 where whenever he'd squash some jobber they'd brand the screen with an ugly 'MADE IN THE USA' graphic? That was sort of cool.
PPV yesterday was fun. Not awesome, but entertaining. No match was actually bad.
Bo was awesome. Bryan keeping the titles indicate he will be back in action soon enough. Cena won as expected, but at least this feud seems to be over.
And evolution versus Shield told a nice story in the end with each one doing their thing to get the eliminations one after the other.

It might not have been PG, but commentary was so much better with the quick witted jokes and banter mixed in with calling the matches back then.
Sometimes it's the only way I can get through these '93 Raws because I just sit there and listen to the commentary.
Watching that '94 Superstars show prior to the Rumble, pretty damn fun to watch. Squash matches, but who cares. A short show and you weren't seeing the likes of Razor, Owen, or Tatanka beaten frequently. Heels weren't afraid to lose by DQ or count out. And Jim Cornette was a fantastic heel. One of the best managers ever (behind Heenan).
I wish I understood the reasoning behind this.
Maybe she has a great personality or an interesting set of quirks or something. But I'd think there are at least 10 better choices.

Lex Luger is the ultimate B+ player. Guy was given so many balls to run with and dropped them all.

I've been watching a few '97 raw's on youtube since they aren't up on the network yet.
To me, the attitude era started on April 21st 97.
Austin 'breaks' Bret's knee and put him in an ambulance. Suddenly they pan up and Austin is hiding in the driver's seat and pulls out the gurney to beat him more. That act pretty much feels like the whole attitude ear to me.
Also I was watching one from May and Lawler straight up calls RVD a "flaming fag" in a promo. I was really surprised, even for the time.

Man MK X looks good. I realize that trailer is just CG but I wager they're putting in a lot of the good stuff from Injustice in there. Goddamn

MK X will hopefully look close to that good when it releases, at least on current gen.
And did anyone else really like Cesaro/Sheamus? Second best match of the night right behind Wyatt/Cena.

Reminds me of the Batman trailers, wonder if it's the same studio that created all of them.
It looks like it has some of the interacting with the environment stuff from Injustice.

Never mind that all I want is Injustice 2 but 
MK X should be a great single-player romp, questionable multiplayer.

It was solid.
Being a fan of wrestling was super exciting in '96-97. It won't ever be like that again.
As for Lawler he seemed to dwell on homophobic slurs to attract heat. Though his stuff with Bret-Owen and in general the 1997 Hart Foundation stuff was pretty decent to contrast Vince's face persona.
I thought MK9 was the only good MK game ever released (and Injustice rocked too), but I was plying SF4 pretty heavily when they both came out and still much prefer that.
But now, SF4 is long in the tooth and Ultra isn't going to change that for me. Might have to see what MKX does on the newer consoles.

I loved SF4 but I need something on current-gen, badly. PC ver of SSF4AE is kinda fucked for me.
Why they're still making Mario Karts? Yeah, blows my mind too.
Beats me. I guess people buy em.
MK9 greatest thing to me really was all the single player content. Really hoping they try to make it even better in MK X.
That single player content should be standard, imo. Story mode that actually has a story, challenges upon challenges, tons of fun unlockables. It was single player fighting game perfection.
I have to rewatch it; I wasn't really paying attention to the match.
And now that you said, I can get behing Wyatt/Cena being the best match of the night, or at least a close second because I really liked Shield/Evolution, if only for the way sheer chaos turned into something that made amazing sense in the end.
My Cena hate got the best of me, I think, and I was hating the match before it began, but now remembering it, it was fun after all.
