Undertaker was loving magnificent in the ring during a surprisingly late period in his career. He was abysmal in his earlier days but had the mystique to cover for it, then he got better but also did a lot of really bad promos and suffered from being on television every week. Then he hit the golden spot where he wasn't around that much and whenever he did show up he had an incredible match. Then he got real old, real broken down, couldn't really go in the ring anymore and it just got sad. Plus he got more outspoken about his personal views which turned out to be pretty loving horrible, which also took away a ton of the goodwill he had built up over the decades.

There's a lot of guys who have been on the WWE payroll who could have been just as good or better if they knew they'd be making main roster money to save their bodies for two thirty minute matches a year.

No, that's why he rarely held the belt.

I was really sad to hear about how lovely he is, a couple years ago I watched a video about how pro wrestling has a unique aspect to its storytelling due to everything happening by necessity in real time and the example he used was about why the streak ending was so monumental for so many people. Part of what he talked about was how he apparently had a reputation for being really supportive to new talent and helping other people get over. As someone who was a fan of his for the brief period I watched wrestling in the early '00s I was happy to hear good stuff about him behind the scenes

Then I heard the rest of the story :smith:

At least in the 90s, he rarely held the belt because it wasn't felt that he needed it to be a draw.

You can always tell who falls for the copy/paste news after it's reported the first time, because the only source for that was Rovert.

The WM matches with HBK were legit very good and also extremely late in his career. He's been dogshit for a while but he was, in fact, good at wrestling for a few years.
they were but also most people could stand there while HBK has a 4* match around them

THE LIAR

SRS being good most of the time and then randomly firing out a really stupid take and then defending it to the death is always very weird.

It feels like we got way too little of "not a massive douchebag pillhead but still a god tier wrestler" HBK.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Can an entire video and its comments count

Rovert needs to learn that he could post the next year of story lines with 100% accuracy but it doesn't change that he's a bad faith, awful, and mentally ill dickhead. Maybe get some help and just enjoy wrestling like a normal person.

Pretty much. The bad scoops are the easy target, the racist rear end in a top hat is the reason everyone keeps shooting at the easy target.

He admitted last time that he really doesn't care and knows his argument is dumb, he just likes stirring up poo poo.

Young bucks to NXT
PAC visa issues, specifically we wouldn’t be seeing him in the US in 2019 lol
Consistently reported AEW visa issues including that none of the joshi would be at double or nothing
Baron Corbin wasn’t facing and retiring Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania, it was just a big swerve
Lacey Evans is good
He was in the room when Finn Balor signed contract
