Ohh I get it.

Yeah I just only recently started watching the sports entertainment, so I'm vaguely aware of dudes like Hogan, the Rock, Undertaker etc. but otherwise coming to it fresh, beyond having seen the Big Show (as a face I believe) a couple of years ago on a hotel room TV. I did know John Cena sucked, though.

:darksouls:
I'm in a similar boat re: coming into The Wonderful World of Sports Entertainment recently; I only knew the thing about Kane because I watched the Kane/Undertaker match at Wrestlemania14 the other night. That was a neat match.

I've been considering just watching through the Undertaker's matches in order, since I know nothing about the dude except that his entrance is boss as gently caress and I'm really into that. I might miss out on some of the context, but they at least had like a 10 minute video package about Kane/Undertaker's feud, so maybe I'd be covered?

e: also that Taka/Aguila match from the same PPV was real cool and it'd be neat if WWE had light heavyweights/cruiserweights again

The only other thing you need to know is that the ring is his yard, and he's a dog, and if you ride a motorcycle through the desert and end up in his yard, you will answer to the big dog in the yard, which is him.

yeah I had to get Daniel Bryan explained to me because mostly I was wincing since everyone said "he had neck surgery" and then yup they hammer his neck. I was like "why not... why not get Finn Balor to do this, he seems like a good wrestler and isn't going to get crippled by the Big Show stepping on his neck quite so easy."

I have learned Heyman rules though, and the Authority vs. Eight Old Men moment taught me a lot about how the WWE works.

I had some dim awareness that he was connected to Taker, and I recalled also that Taker was, for a while, a big motorcycle dude instead of a harbinger of Death. But other than his weird desire to j/o in the casket where he intended to bury Daniel Bryan, he might as well have been the Big Show's marginally less freakish brother.
