Everything about WCW Jericho was tailor made to make you just so mad he's on your screen, and he sold it perfectly, it was gold.

It's in a Vince interview, the same one where he said he hates the gently caress out of Rich people and the only thing he spends his money on is his motorcycle. The rich people hate seems weird until you realize to this day his rich neighbours look down on him. Pretty much all of Vince's psychosi and quest for mainstream approval is the poo poo his neighbours put him through for being a 'peasant'

Vince has a T-Rex skull hanging in his office as he views himself as a T-Rex, believing them to be Apex Predators and thus he shares a kinship with them. Although several palaeontologists believe that T-Rex's were actually just large scavengers and that fits Vince a lot better.

It may have something to do with his upbringing, I heard he spent lots of time stuffing leaves in bags before he got rich.

I'm going to speculate that the problem isn't "Vince McMahon is new money" and it's more "Vince McMahon made his money from a weird carny thing that we all look down on and judge him for which is why he also seems to hate his own creation"

All I'm saying is that if a lot of Vince McMahon, Jr.'s behaviour can be explained as an inferiority complex, he probably developed it long before he moved into a mansion in Greenwich. I also know it's odd to armchair psychoanalyze a businessman this way, but as Vince is practically synonymous with the wrestling business in North America, it's natural that wrestling fans would be fascinated with his quirks.

Tatum Girlparts posted:I think, and I could be forgetting too, but I think he was just loving around with his hair and it fit his whole 'loving nutbar' thing. Watching Jericho's entrance makes me think about all the WCW wrestlers that had just popular grunge songs in a different key or with chords that went in different directions. Jerico'scleary takes a LOT of influence from Evenflow by Pearl Jam, Raven's sounds an awful lot like Come As You Are by Nirvana, DDPs was a ripoff of Smells like Teen Spirit. Am I missing some others?

Not grunge, but one of Rick Steiner's themes was a ripoff of Welcome to the Jungle. Also WCW ripped off a bunch of the licensed songs they were using for video games and other media - check out the nWo Japan CD (it's on iTunes) for a bad ripoff of the nWo theme and a weird Hogan theme with a bad interpolation of the opening riff to Voodoo Child.

Benne posted:The spoilers thread got me wondering about Bob Backlund: How big of a draw was he as champion? The historiography of Backlund is kinda weird for a couple reasons. First, Dave Meltzer was really down on him in the early 80s, feeling that he had gotten too stale on top (and the crew-cut-and-singlet gimmick was despised). He's since changed his mind about Backlund. Also, like plenty of other people who wrestled for the WWF in the 80s, he is best remembered today for a gimmick that was actually a relatively brief segment of his career. (It certainly doesn't hurt that he's continued to make occasional appearances as the clean-cut, bow-tie wearing Republican dad who's fightin' mad.) Backlund wasn't a transitional champion. In fact, the Iron Sheik was chosen as a transitional champion because Backlund refused to drop the belt to Hogan. (I don't think it was due to ego or hard feelings, but because he didn't want to turn heel.)

What's the time period in the WWF/E that has had the most active Tag Teams? It certainly feels like right now is absolutely a really tag team focused period but I feel like by the numbers it probably looses out to late 80's WWF.

Halloween Jack posted:(I don't think it was due to ego or hard feelings, but because he didn't want to .) Really? I thought I had read that Backlund didn't like Hulk's whole rockstar cartoon thing, but was okay dropping the belt to Shiekie as he had an extensive "real sports" pedigree.

Late 80's is probably it, with the Attitude Era being a little behind that. I was watching Raw on the Network from 2000 a couple weeks back, there was a tag team battle royale with like 10 teams on it, and only like one of the teams was a thrown together one, plus there was a tag title match later on the show.
