Like when Taker burned Steph's teddy bear and Vince came out the next week saying that "Mark Calaway" was too into his character.

Friends. I miss these guys. So much.
It's too bad someone in the back decided Rollins needed to be put down a peg and had J&J pin him in a match. Still can not fucking believe that happened. Beyond stupid.
They were great, disbanding them was such a dumb move.
Well, every Rollins booking decision was a pretty dumb move if we think about it.

Attitude Era matches started to suck once we got crap spots and moves like the People's Elbow (as a finisher), the Worm, Stink Face, Road Doggs dance moves etc that all shaped the current lame set ups to the current crap style we see today.
The in ring from 96-99 is very different from 2000-2002 Attitude. Can't stand set up moves today like Romans outside apron boot or Del Rios stomp finisher. 619 is a move like that too that I hate.
The only set up move that worked great was the Curb Stomp. Since it's a natural set up and makes sense in the context of the match.
And yeah, 96-97 was magical. Seemed like a shoot. Everyone seemed so mad back than.

Pretty much.
Reigns is being booked stupidly on the opposite end of the spectrum at the moment. Too strongt.
and all they did was run the ropes back and forth.
And 90 percent of the moves are performed while running the ropes.
Beat me to it.

If you were to make a modern day 4 Horsemen who would you put in it?
Oh, stop being dramatic. Through June '98 the average is about 1:02.

I feel like people look back on the Attitude Era with a bit of rose colored glasses. I say this only because of the arguments that booking is repetitive. The more I look back and think about the people getting booked every week was pretty repetitive. Nearly every Raw started with or ended with Austin, Vince or DX too.
Four Horsewomen or no thank you, I think. But I'd have to look over the WWE roster to be sure.
Seth Rollins
Kevin Owens
Cesaro
AJ Styles
Paul Heyman would be in the JJ Dillon role
People were okay with Raw opening/ending with Austin, Vince, or DX because those segments were still written in an entertaining fashion and (for the most part) Vince was actually booking things to cater to what fans wanted (more or less out of necessity)

I think these three are a good stable three: Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Cesaro
Lol. It was not as widely considered an offensive term in the 90's.
Hell, I've had to tell less-aware friends in current day that it's really not a cool term to use.

It felt like he switched to this look overnight.
Steph?
Watching EP3 now. They are standing around the campfire introducing a new character and he up and flies away like Iron Man. This could be the greatest thing ever.
I believe the problem is they assumed him "looking cool" would suffice. They forgot he also needs the personality to go with it, which he doesn't have.
You could shave his head into Minoru Suzuki's haircut and have him kick ringside staff as he enters to Kaze ni Nare. He's still not gonna be Minoru Suzuki.
Wearing Finn's demon headdress.
Mahonay, I will not rest until you and your kind stop using "90's" and start using the grammatically correct "'90s" or "90s"!

KO's a good fit for Four Horsemen's kind of ruthless style. I know he can turn it up, and we've seen virtually none of that in WWE.
Other people I'd toss in there?
Minoru Suzuki. Naito. Tomasso Ciampa.
Is being in WWE a requirement? Because if it is, then there is no way to make a Four Horsemen stable retaining the flavor of the original.

Never.
Did you mean to leave out Dolph Ziggler? Seems like a weird omission. Here, I'll just add it for you:
Yeah, that's more like it!

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
I see you're working a theatre job.
Good thing I don't leave home without my Diesel-esque bodyguard.

Good thing he broke up with the Neo-Nazi. Now, we can't make jokes about the only reason he's letting that dog lick him is because the dog's fur is white.
