Nope. All he needed was fucking Canada.
yeah I meant 98, got my darn years mixed up.
It did go on too long. Paul Bearer started saying shit about UT's big secret or whatever shortly after WM 13. Then Kane debuted in October. Then Kane just randomly came out and slaughtered fools, which did nothing for anyone. Of course he can do that, he's the UT's brother so he has powers or whatever.
Cool actual debut and a cool look, but I was tired of Kane well before their WM14 match. Kanearooni is his finest moment.
because we know it's just bullshit to protect Cena, one day the creatives will realize that the internet EXISTS and that what they did back then might not work these days...
Because Cena's character forgets shit 5 mins later like some ADHD riddled child. He loses world titles and then the next night tag teams with the dude who beat him for the title. That's Cena.
When Brock did the pass out gimmick, it felt like something Brock would do. And then he made it Brock Perfect with the middle finger right before death.
1) Blood
2) It made people respect a heel back when that shit didn't happen
3) It resulted in a double turn
4) These days it's a cheap way to protect a face
You weren't on the internet surrounded by smarks pointing out how dumb it is and Austin was probably the first you saw do it. The first time is always the most impactful.

Laugh if you like, but bigorexia is real. The day you start lifting is the day you're forever small. We deal with it a lot in FitGAF.

Because he's bleeding, and Austin wasn't booked as unstoppable.

13 worked because it was the climax of a fued that was really unlike anything seen on WWF programming in a long while. A true blood fued between two people that completely hated each other (in kayfabe). Bret returns after being called out for months and steals a win from stone cold in a rollup, they engage in a game of cat and mouse that lasts for months, sees bret pick up and drop the title, and ultimate him snapping at the people t hat he used to depend on.
The match itself shows the two of them in complete desperation, the spot where austin tries to strangle bret with an electrical cord until bret manages to get his hands on a bell to clock austin says it all really. The sharpshooter spot and the passout is like a point of no return for Bret where he refuses to break it as he finally gets revenge on the guy who had gotten under his skin more than anyone else in the company.
Cena fueds sadly don't have that kind of long term writing to it, its not his fault. Things in WWE typically move too fast to sink in like that, and if they don't they just repeat the same segments over and over with neither character really growing. In another world Cena-Orton colliding again would be momentous, right now its bunk.

Bret/Austin has some of best storytelling of all time, and it didn't need shitty flip spots

I enjoyed the slow burn - taker refusing to fight his brother, the fake reconcilliation, the betrayal at the rumble...
will split from the wyatts within a year and fail his solo run, will be repackaged as a monster lucha who loves to party
Could you imagine? He came out of the crowd and beat Austin after Austin beat HBK. "This is for Wrestlemania 9, go to hell Vince! Go to hell Hogan!"
Then he turns up on ECW and throws the world title in the trash.
I'm generally a fan of a slow burn, but that one took too long. Something I hate about late 90s wrestling in general is the introduction of the drawn out entrance and promo on every weekly show.
Agreed.

He's dope. Awesome look. Bright future.
I'm just shocked as to why it worked fine with Brock and yet look at this one with Sheamus and a rising Rusev.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9xgKgffQlc
Why not just have Rusev tap him out there? Instead you feel like you've been ripped off and its a cheap attempt at trying to get a heel over.
We need more enhancement talent in WWE. I have no idea why Bo Dallas, Jack Swagger, and R-Truth aren't jobbing every night to make others look good.
I mean if Goldberg just wrestled Nash everynight he wouldn't have gotten over.
You need Jerry Flynn's and Hugh Morris's out there to make guys look strong while a feud is being booked.

Because WWE's mindsight in 2015 is that everybody needs to be protected and nobody can cleanly win a feud. Unless it's Cena which means fuck you he's beating you three straight PPVs
So he will be fed to Cena or Reigns soon?
Also what's the deal with the nipple piercings?

Strowman has a fantastic look but he doesn't look like he can move well, so I don't see much for him long term once cena or reigns pins him and breaks his mystique.
I prefer my monsters in the kane/taker/umaga/bigelow/vader etc vein.

Give him a new and more impactful finisher and he's golden, even with his huge baby face. I hope he does well, as I like brutes in wrestling.
Honestly its why he needs a mask.
If only to allow his character to lose it and force a change in demeanor.

All things considered, this isn't even that bad.

A hard reset is the only way to break out of this, though. A storyline and format reboot.

Is there an OT for UpUpDownDown? These uploads by Xavier Woods are amazing.

Xavier Woods , Seth Rollins, and Mark Henry breaking character playing Turtles in Time. How awesome is that?

I actually think someone did make one on gaming side but it got buried.
I had to give up lifting heavy weights because my joints couldn't take it anymore. It took awhile to get over not been able to be big and swole.
I'm just saying that in general.
I mean do people get them just for cosmetic reasons or is their some sort of sexual purpose to them?

I'm hooked after one episode. Woods mentioned when he first met Kevin Nash, he asked him how was being the Super Shredder. haha
