MassRafTer posted:

They get the origin of the company wrong for one. If you can't be bothered to research the title dispute that was part of the history, why even bother including it? For the most part it is a Scott Keith history of the AWA, it has some vague idea that Gagne was a hegemonic force and thus focuses way too much on him. It ignores the 60s for the most part and almost completely ignores Crusher who was the biggest star of the promotion for many years. It also doesn't give much attention to other wrestlers who were vital like Vachon.

Huh. AWA seems like a pretty easy documentary.

Does it pretty much center on Gagne and him losing Hogan, then?

It's weird, Meltzer has talked about it and it's true that brother feuds just don't work as a general rule.

Yeah, it especially doesn't work for babyface brothers. The crowd doesn't want to see them fight so there's no heat, and the team will just get back together in 6 months anyway.


E: The next 24 episode will air after next week's Raw, and is about Booker T. I really liked the debut episode so hopefully this keeps up.

It would also help if they didn't kill of all the Rhodes brothers heat wallowing in a bad tag division and feuding with the new age outlaws.

Cody and Goldust are trying so hard, bless their hearts. I actually liked their Fastlane match with the old-school grappling, the story they're telling is pretty good and Cody is delivering the best promos of his career.

Problem is the crowds aren't buying it because they've been conditioned to not care about the Rhodes Bros. fighting the same 2-3 teams 5,000 times. Way to blow what could've been one of your hottest angles, WWE.

The Goldust/Stardust match at Fast Lane was like the definition of how not to do a blood feud match, and as MRP has stated, if you think Stardust's promos are amazing then you would love Joker Sting. He takes forever to get to the point of a promo, his turn makes no sense and is full of random references to pretty much everything. The promos are all over the place from everyone and it feels like they don't have a solid idea of how they want to book it.

On a really bad show the Stardust stuff was probably the worst of it, and while the crowd wasn't great, there's a reason you could hear a pin drop while they were wrestling, because even the way they paced it out was horrible. It's one of those angles that's getting no time because there's exactly one person who cares about it between the crowd and backstage, and that's Cody.

Cody has had so many loving angles at this point but he's become The Midcard Guy. If he wants to get out from under that, this angle has to get way better real quickly.

If Dustin didn't stop whoever laid out the match (assuming it wasn't him and Cody themselves) and say "Um, I have a promo about beating him so bad he'll never wear the paint... maybe the finish shouldn't be a roll-up?", I'm not sure it was salvageable.

I disagree about Cody's most recent promo, though. I thought it got to the point pretty well, with him saying "Hey, you probably expect some wacky bullshit? gently caress that, I'm mad at being stuck with my broken-down big brother as an anchor, and all these other old men getting shots at titles and big matches before me!" Seems pretty succinct, and was delivered well.

Yeah I think it's been pretty well executed, honestly. A lot of that is down to Cody's promo skills.

We're here to interrogate Manly Dan the lumberjack for the murder of wax Stan.
WWE introduces a segment with the "we're honoring black history month all Februrary long"... with an extended Cryme Time segment. Featuring Regal shucking and jiving.

ETA: And they edited out Hogan's Superdome flub and the Rock and Stone Cold and Hoan's jokes about it? Whuh? Why, especially when it's in the Wrestlemania special?)

They do 25% off on shirts pretty regularly, and the gift cards seem to be good until June. So hold off if you want to save a few bucks.

I'd have said why buy a mere T-shirt when you could have a HHH finger ring, but sadly they no longer have them. You can still get a WHC ring to commemorate the Reign of Doom though.

You can still get them from some guy on Amazon though for only $25, shame you can't use your gift card for that.

If there's no minimum purchase required with that $25 credit there's literally no reason not to get a free pair of Brockasins. Think about how mad Brock would be if he knew you got them for free when he spent all that time tanning the hide and stitching it together.
