This makes me actually want to pick up 2K16

Luschient · Mar 27, 2016

Just saw a Twitter post from Miz that he's NOT injured and will be at WM. And how we all fell for his good acting.

Who freaking knows.

Watching the build up to WM11 with LT vs Bam Bam....I still can't believe the main point of it was Bam Bam threatening to shoot on LT and go into business for himself.

FyreWulff · Mar 27, 2016

Vince is a dick for paying wrestlers in CAD solely because mania was there to take advantage of the exchange rate

Mahonay · Mar 27, 2016

Watching WrestleMania 23 for the first time. Realized I've never seen it after listening to the latest Review-a-Wai.

That opening Money in the Bank match is pretty great.

The "All Grown Up" theme they have for the show is pretty fucking lame.

Oh fuck me a Khali match.

Mahonay · Mar 27, 2016

Pretty rough watching Benoit vs MVP. Benoit this close to the incident, he just has this general fogginess to him at this point, he doesn't look great. Decent match though.

How'd you find the commentary, "guaranteed hall of famer Maggle!"

I never understood why Edge and Orton were in that MitB match. Seeing that they were both the top heels of Raw at the time and were involved in the Cena/HBK feud you'd think they make the WWE title match a 4 way with Batista/Taker being the 1v1 title match.

Bluekaveli · Mar 27, 2016

Any you picked up WCW/nWo revenge yet? How many fights does it take to get to Roddy Piper? Also wtf is up with DDPs attire?

They wait 'til Backlash to do that.

It is super weird how minor their roles are in this Mania considering their spots on the roster.

Footloose until survivor series comes on? Don't mind if I do.

Bret Hart's turnbuckle spots are so good.

I miss Hakushi so much. He needs to come back and beat Austin's ass.

I can't find any gifs of it, but his sternum first turnbuckle spot is the fucking best. Dude always looked legit dead after it.

Read Dean Rasmussen's glorious review of Yuji Okabayashi vs. Ryota Hama in DVDVR 176 (http://deathvalleydriver.com/2016/03/13/dvdvr176/), and then watch the match (https://rutube.ru/video/bf5df99fbea233234831d4ff0c2f78e1/).

TarpitCarnivore · Mar 28, 2016

I always forget that Lawler had a legit run during New Generation. I also miss Hakushi, dude didn't fall entirely into the typical E stereoytpe.

Nah, Lawler really didn't have much of a run. The only time he ever got in the ring was to face Bret Hart. The most wrestling Lawler ever did in the WWF was in 1997. He wrestled a lot in the first half of the year, made it to the semi-finals of King of the Ring, and had that short-run tag team with Rob Van Dam. He also did a lot of stuff in ECW that year, but they never really mentioned it in detail on WWF television.

TarpitCarnivore · Mar 28, 2016

By run I just meant time in the ring beyond my main remembrance which is him standing in the ring with a mic saying "PUPPIES"

Bronx-Man · Mar 28, 2016

I can't think of anyone that had a worse World Title reign than Seth Rollins. Not even Mysterio in 2006 was that horrendous.

Yeah from 93-98 King got in the ring a lot! But it's crazy how they were pushing new guys in the New Generation yet king was always in big fights with Bret. If only Bret could've wrestled King in his absolute prime. But yeah King was the man and he's funny with his antics. Sometimes, Owen was basically him but not chicken shit.

The closest they've come in the modern WWE social media era to replicating a feud with genuine heat that was still largely dominated by one-sided outcomes was Christian vs. Orton.

Doesn't matter. If Rollins come back as a face, the typical mark fan will forget about it. Even in the kayfabe, Rollins will be presented as the one who defeat several wrestlers retaining succesfully his championship.

Triple H in the attitude era retained his title matches cheating all the time.

Man God · Mar 28, 2016

Big Match Seth won when it mattered!

This is actually how Ric Flair was booked during the Dusty days of JCP and why they had so much bad blood between them from that era.

If you guys have the WWE Network, I recommend watching the Macho Man Randy Savage documentary when you get the chance:

Watching it right now, and it's no wonder that he and DDP worked so well together, because Macho Man was just as meticulous as DDP when it came to planning matches.

avengers23 · Mar 28, 2016

Data, watch this and let me know if it's any good, since TheCubsFan loved this match: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LIOsHeimR7g&feature=youtu.be.

I think HHH/Roman Reigns is going to be Bret/Austin, only better. The empire is here.

Alright everybody, please turn to page 355 of your books, paragraph 8, spot 43b: modified arm bar. We will then transition into spot 674: the double inverted axe handle

I'm beginning to think Taker/Shane is just going to be a spot fest and people will love it despite it covering up poor wrestling. People seem to love Taker/HHH from WM17 despite that god awful choke slam to foam padding.

Flair never went 1-18 in a single month. Seth is a mess. Seth is a big fat mess.

He probably did in the late eighties. Lots of DQs, no contests, fuck finishes.
