Watching Survivor Series 2000 and remember that merch then was awful. Good thing WWE fixed that

Holy shit
You mean, a middle-aged man coming out to Rollin' isn't cool?
I mean, a middle aged man sung the song, so it works.

That's the Irish promotion who had the Father Ted show right?
Wrestling needs more Father Ted crossovers.

Insanely papered if that's the real number, doubt it though.

Sometimes I wonder is Talking Smack is a very elaborate work, they're telling us what we want to hear and as a result we love the smackdown.
Vinny Mac having a right chuckle I bet.

I think Bryan just says what he wants. What are they going to do, fire him so he can go wrassle?
maybe that's his plan!

I passed out during Uncle Jun and Dragon Soldier B vs. Get Wild, which proves once again that Kendo Kashin sucks.
The longer version of the commercial is emojis hitting each other with chairs.
I'm gonna say it was around 4.5k, maybe 5 at the most. Still extremely impressive regardless.
I woke up after the intermission. Need to go back and watch Nomura/Nomura.
It was a show, I really liked what I saw but I'm not sure if it was good???

Never seen Backlash 2003 so I'm giving it a look and boy this backstage scene with Test and Torrie was pretty dang uncomfortable, Test confirmed for super heel.
I actually came to post about both of these, the first is just "what?"
The second I can't decide between being bad or actually kinda great.

I've decided to skip forward to Scott Hall's debut in my Nitro run through. I can't take Cunt Hogan and the Dungeon of Derp any longer.
Forgive me Data West and Zach.

He came out, cut a promo in the ring saying he was back more or less.

I think I like Schavontay and Zbyszko a bit better than Bischoff/Heenan/Mongo.
Can't tell. Too early.
Maybe not Heenan.

I love that the 500th match that I watched this year was Chavo Guerrero Sr., Dory Funk Jr., TAJIRI & Ultimo Dragon vs. Isami Kodaka, Osamu Nishimura, The Great Kabuki & Yutaka Yoshie.
Huh, it's Onita-neko.

King of Dong Style vs Boaby in Belfast vs International Sex Hero. Hope Billy's got all his entrendres prepared for this one.
Look at these weenies.
Schiavone is great for a long while. Zbyszko is good when he's not being a sexist weirdo. WCW Heenan is still the best early on, even though he's not quite WWF amazing. Mongo is occasionally entertaining in his inanity. Bischoff is usually a douchebag.
WWE in the early 2000s always gets praised as this era of WWF where the roster is insane and it's the best and the fans are still popping huge.
but to me, i always found that era so boring. it just felt like they had this massive roster and none of the writing to go with it. i was already done with rock's shtick at that point, austin wasn't the badass wrestler/character he was in 96 or 97. he was going from catchphrase spewing face to a heel that was never going to get a ton of heat even at his absolute worse. in a way to turn heel for austin that felt cheap and not natural. triple h is the least captivating wrestler alongside compatriot jeff jarrett, the invasion angle shat the bed on arrival, kurt angle had the title but he was booked like a complete goof, the shine on the radicalz was gone within a month, undertaker was transitioning to his shitty american badass and hadn't got to his goat mode, big evil. the hardyz, e&c and dudleyz stuff was shocking.. the first time you saw it. e&c were the only ones that could cut promos so once the newness of dudes goign through tables went out, you lost interest. Kane as always boring. But now instead of being protected and boring he was just boring and boring. He had no fangs. Foley was an afterthought. Vince was just doing the same shit that was old in 99.
they had the cruiserweight title but all they had was kidman. they wouldnt have rey, uiltimo or psicosis unti la couple years later. and kidmans the worst of that crop.

Agreed. I felt that 2000 was the start of the transition of what we see today. Catchphrases galore, moves like the Worm, everyone HAS to hit all their spots in every match etc
