Not even counting the better quality matches, which WCW had. Or JCP or whatever you want to call it. Just straight up better produced, more natural, better cut.

WM1 & 2 are full of people flubbing lines, early cuts, people walking in front of cameras, people getting lost behind camera. So bad. And the matches are equally as bad.

Starrcade 2000's poster art was great

 

[avengers23]

On the agenda tomorrow: Daichi Hashimoto vs. Sekimoto from the Strong Climb tournament and the Caristico vs. Volador Jr. from 4/6/16 that got people raving.

Data, TM, either of you see that Caristico vs. Volador match?

 

[newdayrocks]

Elias Samson is pretty legit on guitar and vocals on tonight's NXT. I sense a promising future for him.

And Jordan is the hottest of hot tags. Really hope American Alpha is at the Portland show this weekend.

The Raging Climax for one.

Then WM 1, 2, 4, 9, 29.

Should I know what The Raging Climax is? >_>

WM1 is a MSG house show that was taped. A big seminal one, but still.
WM 2 is a clusterfuck of epic proportions and one of the worst shows.
WM 3 is the first real mania.
WM 4 is even worse than 2.
WM 5 is a perfectly watchable event.
WM 6 is even better.
WM 7 is bad...but also really interest.
WM 8 Sunny Mac is wrong this is the first real ass big spectacle mania.
WM 9 is a bad show, that everyone should watch.
WM 10 is an all time classic.
WM 11 is interesting, the final celebrity Mania for awhile.
WM 12 is great.
WM 13 is even better.
WM 14 isn't that good, but it's also extremely important.
WM 15 THE RAGIN' CLIMAX. It stinks.
WM 2000 - A McMahon in EVERY CORNER
WM X-7 is the prototype for every show that came after.

I keep thinking about that Honolulu show, and by god that should be a PPV itself. A big PPV with weeks of ads on actual channels like ESPN and FS1 and Spike. Shit, build that thing up as the UFC 200 of WWE. That could draw some big, big money.

Hey, I've been saying Triple H is Double J tier for like a year.

I've been told that all changes in 2000, though. We'll see.

Vince McMahon confirmed injured WWE stars Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt, John Cena and Seth Rollins will all be back in action within the next month or so.

All that stuff is relative in my eyes. When people talk about Triple H then, or now Roman, they are not technically terrible, but they aren't nearly good enough for the spotlight that they get.

So ROH wastes one of their biggest money match-ups in years so that the Young Bucks can act out their nWo jerkoff fantasies, and Colt doesn't even get a rematch? What the fuck is going on with this company lately?

And nobody in the nWo jerkoff fantasy even gets a shot out of it. All so a homophobe can get One More Shot. Yeah, fuck ROH. If you're going to do stupid shit, at least have it attempt to lead somewhere. At this point it's indefensible on every level. If TNA did something like this it'd get a paragraph on LOLTNA easily

I'm not going to defend some of the shit that ROH has done lately but Lethal - Cabana was only a money match in Chicago. No one else would care if he won the belt or even stayed with the company after that show. My problem is that if they aren't even going to give Cole the title for several more months then this "invasion" angle is going to run until Final Battle.

I own a ton of apparent classics like Shawshank Redemption, Casino, The Deer Hunter, Dr. Strangelove, Apocalypse Now, Schindler's List, etc. etc. that I have never watched due mostly to watching wrestling for the last two years. It's a sickness, man.

I think my years of watching At The Movies ironically killed my attention span for movies and made me only want to see brief clips with some guy telling me if it was good or not.

WCW Greed gets 2 and a half bags of popcorn

 

[Zach]

Haha... It's funny because I usually feel like most movies are too long. I'm like "whoa, what a time investment. And if it's over 90 minutes, it better be truly great!"

But then I watch 15+ years of wrestling like it's not a complete waste of time.

So weird.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

I'd get legit depressed if I started thinking of all the great films I missed or albums I could have listened to in the time it's taken me to watch 3 hour Raws. It's part of why I stopped (shit booking obviously helped)

 

[Jimmy King]

Wrestling fandom is a curse, yes.

I give wrestling 1 bag of popcorn, because there is no such thing as 0 bags of popcorn. The law of physics demand that there must be at least 1 bag of popcorn.

Right there with you, won't make the time for some of the classics but I have no problem watch Zayn/Joe go 50 minutes or Lee/Wilkins go 105

Triple H is just a jobber. C+ wrestler.

In a better booked world, I think a Natural Born Thrillers face turn would have been money and gotten really over. And hopefully they could have learned to do stuff beyond movez inbetween that.

I'm really enjoying Sanada's NJPW run, surprisingly. He's got a real star power that

Spoiler

Kenny Omega doesn't have

and he's less of a goober than EVIL or Bushi. I really dig his new look too. And it looks like he picked up a lot on how to work different styles during his BJW and Mexico tours.

I'd like to see him get the NEVER title and feud with Nagata, Shibata, and Ishii. I think he could have a good feud with God Ace Tana down the road too

I think there's going to be a screwy finish to the Lethal Briscoe match, probably with Cole interfering, setting up a triple threat at some point with Cole.

Great ROH show all in all though.

Dave finally gave up and admitted WWE will probably fuck up Bayley with a callup

Dana Brooke debuted on Raw this week, reforming her alliance with Emma, and they’ll be feuding with Lynch and a to be determined babyface, perhaps Banks or Paige. The decision has been made to keep Bayley in NXT longer because they don’t have another female babyface star who can take her place. The problem is that Bayley’s character as it is, appealing to little girls in the big sister role, has a shelf life, because she can only play it when he looks young, and the longer she’s in NXT, the more they’ll have less time with it and will have to evolve it, and who knows if they can evolve it into something that clicks as well. I haven’t even been confident they could bring it up now without finding a way to screw it up.
