Fuck that stupid VGM OST thread. Morons. "It's all JRPGs because they're better!" Fools.

So I don't have much history with TNA (I watched most of their first Monday Night Impact and have seen it passing by for years) but I'm reading this lolTNA wiki and its really glaring that 40% of it occurs after Hogan shows up.

Some of this is far worse than I had imagined. 250 dollar pay days for the ECW vets when their first PPV gained 4x the normal buyrate? Workers with second jobs and one on foodstamps? The gigantic list of people who appeared once and then never again is staggering.

But there was SO MUCH awful in the first 2-3 years that had to be worse than post Hogan. The first two years or so were Russo unrestrained and trying to do a Southern Wrasslin show.

fucking Russo

And then I went ahead and used the Mr. Wrestling 3 unmasking for...my e-fed. In which a character named the Moon Master turned out to be Vince Russo, and then surprisingly all my viewership dropped like a stone.

Rofl I can't laugh enough about that.

Oh there's plenty of good stuff from that period as well: A lot of EX WWF stars going there for a week and then arguing over money and leaving, cronyism, racist/sexist angles, WCW stars going there for a week then arguing over money and leaving...

No way. Right now is the best time ever to be a kid. It's not even a question. Every game ever is readily available, giant cheap tvs, current games, every show readily available, iPhones and tablets. Fuck neon and NERF.

Even NERF is better now; some of their foam bullet guns are ridiculous and their footballs fly twice as far.

That site has Don West being Red's biggest fan as a negative. That's bullshit. Don West marking out and cheering on Red was great.

Also in terms of access to porn. There was a time when the lingerie section of the Sears catalog was good enough for me. I bet at the same age, Plywood was watching hardcore ATM on broadband.

No wonder he knows the name of every adult film actress.

is it wrong I think people who buy nerf guns are just as bad as guys who buy toy ponies?

If they don't have kids...sure! Screw biology. Screw having a legacy. The real reason to have kids is an excuse to buy all the new awesome toys and play with someone enthusiastic about them.

EDIT: Also a great excuse to get back into wrasslin come to think of it.
 
I was watching random WWECW matches yesterday, someone should review the first year of that. Test took a goddamn countout loss in his ECW Title match at the fucking Royal Rumble. Lol, that shit is bad enough on Raw, let alone in one of the Big 4 PPVs. Hell, I might just do it when i find the time & shows. Thing is I've never really watched the original ECW

I was 5 in 1995, I'm saying this because I want people to feel old.

I was around for a month in that year

Stay away from the TNN show. It was so bad that I couldn't even get half way through it. The same me that made it through all of WCW 2000/2001/1998/and nearing half of 1999. It was garbage. Every show was Thunder, but worse. Zero effort.


Original ECW's peak was 1994-1995. Even with a lot of terrible wrestlers, the shows were really entertaining. I think a lot of it holds up. Sandman vs Tommy is way better than Raven vs Tommy.

I read those reviews. From what it sounded like i can't blame you at all for stopping

Even nerf guns are better nowadays. The sub-15 dollar guns are basically the ones that used to cost40+. The Vortex Proton and Strongarm Blaster are like less than 15 bucks and are incredible for nerf wars

JRPGs do in general have good soundtracks if you like orchestrated arrangements and an RPG without a good battle theme usually isn't very good.

That being said the best soundtracks of all time are usually made up of either licensed music (Vice City, THPS2) or have an all star video game composer compilation (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

I love JRPG soundtracks! Tropico 4's soundtrack is pretty great too

Believe it or not, we would actually get multiple wrestling matches in that one hour. And storylines (shitty ones) would actually progress, and PPVs were actually developed (poorly) in that one hour.

Everything may have sucked, but it was at least organized.

AND they had time for a 5-10 minute PPV pitch. "Here's Todd Pettengill with the Survivor Series report!" Recap of the last two months of shit for whatever match.

Say what you will about the storylines we were given in 1995, like who cared about Sid v. Diesel's injured elbow and Bret's jacket being stolen, but at least the show was concentrated and dense.
