Rodney the Piper posted:That angle had a sparkle of hope. Things like Heidenreich, the Steiner-HHH feud, or the McMahon-Orton WrestleMania match which opened with a lock up, really didn't. I'm curious when we'll get people on here who not only defend those awful angles but actively indicate they're the reason they started watching. Okay well an angle that is considered awful (and I think was at the time too) but I remember liking is the HHH-Booker Wrestlemania program. I wanted Booker to win so badly.

Rodney the Piper posted:Do we have posters that are nostalgic for the worst of 2000s WWE yet? I'm hit and miss on which threads I read, so I'm not sure if we've actually had anyone young enough to insist that the Undertaker vs. Dudleys feud was great or anything. I started watching when I was 10 back in 2003, and even I don't look back fondly at that time. The one thing I'll admit to having extreme nostalgia goggles for is the PCS challenge vignettes from TNA, which is why I still have a soft spot for Kevin Nash.

I wonder how much PSP would have in common when admitting their favorite crap? Then again, I see no shaming in admitting to liking IRS, Rick Martel's Model gimmick, or Too Much.

Just about on-topic I think, Backlash 2001 was my first wrestling PPV and the Duchess of Queensbury match between William Regal and Chris Jericho remains one of my favourite wrestling things ever. All rough quotes.  Y2J: "We're in The Windy City... but it looks like the Duchess comes from The Uglayyy Citayyy!" Fink: "The time limit for round one has expiiiiired!"  : "Round one!?"Heyman: Oh, I forgot to tell you about the rounds!" : "Duchess, my foot!"(Y2J puts the Duchess in the Walls) Heyman: "But she's a Duchess!!" : "This could cause an international incident!"I also watched (late) WCW before I ever saw WWE and was hyped for the likes of Kronik, Chuck Palumbo, Sean O'Haire, and I really liked the Invasion at the time (remember when Booker T wanted to emulate The Rock's movie success so he went to a film studio, where he told them he was THE BOOKERMAN and they thought he said The Boogerman? Classic). I recently watched a few Invasion PPVs and I still have a bit of a soft spot for some things. I mean, not 'taker literally battering not-so-ironic stalker DDP in a cage or Perry Saturn being infatuated with a mop, but RVD being cool and Heyman on commentary and The Hurricane. Heck, even though I know the ref should never have the most heat, I do like Nick Patrick's "Curses, foiled again!" schtick when the WWE guy makes his comeback following shenanigans. My friends and I also have a soft spot for Stone Cold beating up Booker in the supermarket post-Invasion. Everything about it, from Booker establishing that he's the villain by eating cereal out the box and the random Waldorf and Statler-esque asides with Vince and Flair, to Austin walking out of the fridge and "When the moon, hits your eye, like a biiiig, pizza pie, that's amoorrrréééé!". In other words I really like the ridiculous and campy side of wrestling. Give me a bit to remember and I'm sure I'll have some genuinely fond memories of the weird 2002-2005 era of WWE.

Recently read about half of this wiki (I guess?) style page that listed the complete history of TNAs gently caress ups. Definitely found the link somewhere in psp, just can't remember the thread. Anyway I really want to read the rest but can't find it anywhere. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

Wrestling confessions? I loved the Hardy Boyz. TnA should have had a tag title run. Jindrak and O'Haire are one of my favourite tag teams ever. I never got the appeal of Tazz.

The first wrestling angle I really followed intently was Booker T vs. Scott Steiner (as Big Poppa Pump, with Buff Bagwell as his bumbling assistant) in the first half of '99. WCW was already starting to roll off the tracks by this point but I liked Booker and it was a good contrast between his athleticism and Steiner just being this giant monster. And Buff Bagwell being utterly hateworthy was actually a positive for the angle.

It's really hard to like Taz unless you watched him in ecw in the mid 90's. He was a loving monster there.

After a mention of it on OSW Review I decided to check out the Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior. It was weird to watch a retrospective on a guy that virtually nobody in the retrospective liked and only really served to bury him some 10 years or so (at the time) after the fact. Ted DiBiase has made no bones there and elsewhere about how much he can't stand the Warrior and why, but Ric Flair appeared to be absolutely fuming red just being there and I can't think of a time when he and Warrior really interacted. Could anyone shed some light on this?

Flair and Warrior worked a little bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sll3sc5gyhc Also, somehow someone got a video of them working from a '92 house show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZegIJ6T-o4 Pretty much everyone in wrestling is united in their hatred of the Ultimate Warrior. Flair probably hated the Warrior because in order to get him to work safe you would have to shoot on him in the ring and/or threaten him with bodily harm. Warrior refused to come in to work on the DVD, so what you got was an hour-and-a-half long burial of the Ultimate Warrior, as if it were someone else's idea to push this guy. Ric worked with him a little, but you had plenty of guys on the DVD who never worked with him and have probably never met him, and just came in to make fun of him. And then there's an entire segment putting over his ring music.

If I remember Flair's book right, Warrior botched a slam which caused Ric to rupture an eardrum and have some serious issues with equilibrium and balance. That's one of the reasons they took the belt off him so quickly after he won it back from Macho Man, and I think he said it's something that still occasionally flares up on him.

On top of that, Flair was around during Warrior's disastrous WCW run and I think in general everyone there got a bad impression of him there- the trapdoor thing alone caused serious injuries, and that was apparently one of his ideas.

The WWF did sign him as a jobber briefly, didn't they? I dunno man, WWF signed him in the late 1990s, WCW in 2001, he's worked a bunch for ROH and TNA. Dude has legit had a pretty decent wrestling career. There are a lot of great guys who have had worse.
