been trying to make ends meet and would like to take a poll of the users here. I'm not allowed to make a new thread about it. would you buy obsolete/antiquated technology if there is a wwe logo or wrestler pic on it? i have a gameboy advance SP and a bunch of mid-90s digital cameras all with the rock blue brahma bull with red eyes on it. a sticker

It depends on the quality and cheesiness of said stickers. The worse they are, the higher the value, imo

OH NO!
I’m happy Sasha and Bayley got the thing they were passionate about, but I’m not exactly sure what about the way WWE handles tag teams in general is inspiring confidence. They couldn’t even be bothered to book or come up with a story for one of the single women’s champs during mania season. Combine Vince’s...vintage views on women with his ambivalence toward tag teams and I’m just not optimistic.

Those titles are going to end up on the women Vince/Dunn find the most fuckable in short order. They’ll be props for Mandy and Lacey and will never really be defended.

On the other hand, match quality be damned, there are a lot of women getting Wrestlemania screen time. I'd kinda be interested to see how much time women typically get at Mania, with the only caveat being to remove battle royales from the equation.

Most of the time it's just a giant mess of a match, or a manager in a big match.

Popular culture has passed you by.

On the one hand this is really touching and Dawson's comments seem really heartfelt, on the other hand lol you fought so hard to get a tag team championship off the ground, in a company that historically treats tag teams as an afterthought.

It's the inspiring story of people fighting for the right to build a swimming pool in the Gobi Desert.

Weird that they don't seem to be doing a Wrestlemania stage reveal this year. I wonder if its because construction is running behind or something.

The whole stage is probably made out of modeling foam and they're afraid that if they show it off too soon, it will be subject to intense ridicule.

The entire “stage” is just cheesy 3D graphics added later. The live crowd will get a big green wall.

Some one once made fun of another poster on here by mocking their stance. The gist of it was this: WWE is bad on purpose, and therefore is good or should be exempt from critique. That is not what I said in my previous post above the one that is above this one and I will become angry if anyone says otherwise. It's still bad, and shouldn't be viewed. Say ok if you agree not to attack me undeservedly.

My stance on that person's insane take is that purposely bad movies are bad, the good bad movies are the ones that try incredibly hard and gently caress up in strange ways, like 2000 wcw

"Kurt Angle will do the job to Baron Corbin to give him a rub on his way out" is not accidentally bad. It's just bad.

Good bad wrestling is LAX in the Electrified Steel Cage match where they flickered the lights any time a wrestler hit the cage walls.

Or the White Caste of Fear/Beach Blast mini-movies.

Or even the APA “always pounding rear end” t-shirts.

It needs to lack self awareness.

It's sad that Vince has (I mean, pathologically, here) to micromanage things as hard as he does, because as NXT shows us, not just at takeovers, but almost literally every tag team match they have on NXT and NXT UK, tag wrestling is very good and someone high up in booking or laying out matches has a profoundly deep understanding of what makes them work, and if they just let that person have like, 15-20 minutes of their already ridiculously bloated main roster air time a week, hell, even less if they really want to push other angles on some weeks, that/those divisions would be fine, and tag teams would be over as all hell.

I can't get over how much of a difference competent commentary makes. Mauro and Nigel are the best commentary duo the WWE has had in decades. I feel like the absence of Michael Cole instantly adds a ratings star to every single match.
