Some of it surely was.
Even more of it was bias (largely justified may I add) towards the company developing it and its shitty games.
I thought it played ok. Worse than 3 and 1, about the same as 4 and way better than 2.

People act like the game was broken. I didn't even step into the threads at all while playing it. Game mechanics were good, solid, nothing was wrong with it. It was just different.
I was just kind of shocked. Maybe I played the wrong game!
sounds about right.
Vince from about 1993 on basically changed his mind on everything in three week cycles. So during the Attitude era someone would come up with an idea to get x guy from Japan or Mexico or whatever and then bring in x/y/z to make a Cruiserweight division to compete with WCW, he'd nag Vince into going along with it and by the time that was set up they'd change where they were going with it.
The post invasion roster was the only time they actually had the guys in place for the most part to run with the idea, and they did for a bit until they got bored with it and went a different direction.
Absolutely true in regards to AAA.
As a chronically sober person (who isn't militant about it at all, just would rather be in control of myself at all times) I sometimes get flak for saying that all drunk people are annoying.
Which they are.
Especially the people who think they are funny drunks.

From the Royal Rumble? I remember it clearly because they kept showing the replaying like every 3 minutes and it cracked King up every time

TAKA got all that hype and his first major feud was...Jerry Lawler's kid. Excellent!
Well let's see my dad was basically an alcoholic. It was weird because he was actually a worse person WITHOUT the alcohol. He wasn't abusive or anything, but fuck ... just some embarrassing moments. Some scary ones too. Drinking and driving anyone? ugh.
I also hate taking care of drunk people. Especially violent ones. Such an annoyance.
And this one time I almost died of alcohol poisoning. That was fun.
Overall alcohol doesn't make me a better person to be around with. Makes me lethargic and I lose my train of thought.
One thing on my death bed that I won't regret is thinking I should of drank more.
All that said, I still go out with people that drink and don't lecture anyone about it. Hell I got pissed at someone at work that lectured me about gluten. FUCKING GLUTEN!

I don't think it is fair to say that all drunk people are annoying.
Some handle it far better than others.
I'm kind of glad I grew up in an era where being the DD is appreciated. I usually get free drinks/apps/deserts or whatever for keeping my friends safe, and that's from the establishments! On these excursions I rarely end up paying anything at all or get free gas money.
It was far more annoying in high school and college when I'd actually have to baby these drunks. Oh hey let's spend 16-20 years trying to act grown up only to piss yourself get into dangerous ass shit when you're full grown and are supposed to be a rational actor in your life's affairs.
Actually drunk. Not buzzed. Not tipsy. If you can beat a breathalyzer you're definitely not drunk. The legal limit is actually a fairly good indicator in my book of about when most people who've been drinking get annoying.

Oh of course. There are drunk people who are annoying to others regardless if you are sober or drunk. Some people don't know their limits, some do but they choose to go past it every time. Aggressive drunks are the worse. No one wants to fuck with you just leave us alone.

That match needs BO
I think it is pretty lame when people label themselves as Straight Edge. Until WCW ruined my life, I went 25 years without drinking or smoking and never once thought it needed a label. If you don't drink, you don't drink. Why does that have to BE something? Be who you are, not what a label says you are. If someone offers you a drink, you say, "No thanks" or "No thanks, I don't drink". You don't say, "No, I'm straight edge. That means I'm better than you".
I've been offered many drinks and I've always said no thanks and it has never been an issue. The only drinks I accept are the ones I make while watching WCW and wishing I had died 10 years ago.

People like to form groups to make them feel special in their decision. Nothing surprising there. I tend not to truck with labels myself.
I've never put it together but I bet HBK Professor Beefing on Janetty is what really made him so close with Vince. Shawn could fuck up a million times and nearly ruined the WWF forever and Vince never did anything about it.
Yeah I didn't know about Straight Edge until past 2000. Before that I had another label.
Dork!
But everyone knows how it is. It's tough NOT drinking when younger. It's not a big deal when your old and surrounded by adults. Or people you think would be anyway.

I stopped being sXe when I was 24. But back then we did not used that label. People refer to me as boring. Heck, one guy even said that not drinking is worst than being gay. Being sXe was the worst thing you could be.
Now, everyone here respects sXe, even the guy that said that not drinking is worst than being gay. Fuck that guy!

I only knew of what straight edge was because of CM Punk.
I knew of it because Metal has a branching connection to Hardcore/Punk music.

I learned going to hardcore concerts. One band had the label of sXe-vegan hardcore. That night I asked what was the meaning of that and I learned I was sXe XD

TNA is like WCW so I doubt it was that. He probably does not understand the chikara timeline XD
Nah, it is probably the terrible booking on WWE. He just does not understand why the WWE refuses to make new stars.

He prolly saw some VGCW and lost all faith in wrestling.
