Republicans posted:I stopped watching sometime in the late 90's and this was my first event since then and it was a lot of fun. I don't see myself ever keeping up with RAW but I've been putting off getting the WWE network for a while and it'll be fun watching old poo poo. I hope I can find the first match I remember ever seeing, a steel cage 2v2 match between Ted DiBiase and IRS versus two other guys I don't remember. Addendum: being a Philly guy, i jumped back on the wagon after hearing all the post-Rumble chatter. I'm genuinely left wondering when/if Vince brings a major event back to my town

Oh my god. I just saw HHH's entrance. That was just almost the worst thing. The only thing that saved it in my eyes was that I couldn't help laughing at his terminator hat and shoulder pads

Smoking Crow posted:maybe setting up for a rematch next year where bray goes over? Bray and his gimmick are damaged beyond repair in my opinion. After the loss to Cena he never regained any heat and the loss to Taker might as well have been the peak of his career before disappearing in the midcard.

Rollins is the first NXT champ who became the WWE champ. (Sorry Bolievers) I hope Rollins makes an appearance on a NXT network show with the belt and acts like a dick to everyone.

Just saw HHH's entrance. Holy poo poo what the hell  I think the best part of this were the spindly terminator arms attached to his. Maybe this whole thing would have looked okay if it was dark, but in broad loving daylight it was absolutely hilarious.

Cardboard Box posted:cole is totally fine when he's allowed to just call a match, sometimes even very good, its mostly the other commentators who drag him down What Cole lacks is intensity/excitement. He's too monotonous. I know it's unfair to compare him to JR, but JR had the ability to get you pumped no matter what was happening in the ring. King was able to play off it nicely too back then, but he's useless now. Even when Cole tries to sell excitement in his voice, it comes off as fake and disingenuous. I just don't buy it. If Cole is gonna be the straight guy, get someone else that can bring the qualities that he's missing. JBL and King are just as boring as Cole is. And they constantly talk about other poo poo than what is happening in the ring, or are making GBS threads on something that's happening in the ring. I'm not a Cole hater or anything, I just think the commentary is detracting from the overall experience these days

If they wanted the Divas to matter, give them a Fatal 4-way like they did at NXT. Ton of great storylines could have gone on in that.

Well, Sting was in the Wolfpac (don't turn your back on them) at one point so that's almost the same thing, it was called nWo Red in WCW/nWo Revenge too.

STAC Goat posted:I thought that was stupid but I have to admit that the old WCW fan in me probably would have marked out if it was Goldberg, DDP, and Booker T. Haha agreed. I spose I didn't stop to think about the Wolfpac since they had their nWo Black and White shirts on. That's why am a confused wrestle dork though cuz it's like "Wait black and white were trying to kill WCW..." But then I don't think they sell Wolfpac merch so... I apologize for overthinking dumb wrestling matches.

Fiveace Attorney posted:It really just seems like there's completely different smarter people booking the PPVs Part of it is they've got a strong roster who can put on matches which, in and of themselves, are quite fun. So the builds and stories are lackluster but the wrestling works. They've got all the ingredients to put on good shows, and sometimes they do, but Vince loves hotshot last minute booking too much for the product to be reliable. It's all peaks and valleys.
