I like Todd Pettengill and even back in the 90's he was way better than he should have been on screen for WWF's bullshit

Watching a bunch of mid-90s WWF stuff lately and Todd definitely never got the credit he deserved for his shilling. He was pretty endearing and a giant goofball who didn't mind looking like a boob.

Kross is boring as hell and there are a bunch of way better guys to have in his spot. Someone show Scarlett to Vince so he can call them both up then forget about Kross in a month.

I feel like Kross is an attempt by HHH to install a champion in his own mold so I don't think he's giving him up, or giving up on him, especially given his recent demotion.

My favorite part of him is the fact he looks like a jacked Brandon Cutler with googly eyes.

I remember Kross having buzz on the indies and I thought he supposed to be this hard hitting killer. Now you're telling me he's wrestling a HHH style? Glad he didn't end up in AEW then.

NXT hit its peak when it was PWG with the serial numbers filed off and everything since to WWE-ify it has just made it this ungodly hybrid of WWE booking and PWG wrestling. It's like being forced to watch EVOLVE.

STOP DOING HEROIN
Killer Kross first started getting buzz when he had a Bloodsport match with Davey Boy Smith Jr. that got a ton of hype at the time, and made people think that he could be more than a generic muscle guy. In hindsight, it was clearly a fluke.

They also only zoomed in once and not in and out repeatedly. I'm hugely confused as to why I'm able to watch those gifs without getting a headache.

I had tuned out by then, but man, the unified belt going from the lackluster Jericho reign -> returning Trips (but he's banged up again) -> Hogan -> Undertaker.....ugh. Can't imagine the product having any momentum

This was my dad's favorite wrestling thing ever. If anyone ever mentioned wrestling, he'd bring this up. Which I'm surprised it had that much of a effect on him since he was dead drunk and I was dragging his carcass across the living room while it was playing.

Its pretty wild that Taker and Hogan produced a treasured family moment but here we are.

At the time it was very fun seeing Hogan on top briefly for the nostalgia of it all. Plus they did different stuff with him along the way like having him tap out to Angel's ankle lock.

Taker/Hogan was garbage, though, as I remember it and has that really awful chokeslam.

The Big Evil stuff was pretty much my favorite version of Undertaker ever, and the brief Hogan nostalgia run was fun. Also, as an enormous Chris Jericho mark, seeing HHH have to follow up his "triumphant return" chumping of Jericho at Wrestlemania with immediately dropping the Title to old man Hogan was hilarious. There was some real wacky booking that summer but it's amazing looking back how fun it was compared to today's soulless slop.

I like the rumour that they had him cut a promo on Angle about how he was proud to be bald, just because they knew he couldn't say no to it.

Zelina Vega, also known as Thea Trinidad was at the WWE Performance Center on Thursday, May 13. We were told it wasn't just a visit, as she was being filmed for some reason there. Zelina left WWE in November when she was fired for not following third party policies. Her husband Aleister Black also hasn't wrestled since her firing, and only recently saw vignettes air for his return after Fightful had reports that he had not been backstage at Smackdown for quite a while.

We're working to learn the context of Zelina's appearance at the WWE PC, but have been told the working plan is for her to return to the company.

Big Evil was a great character but had mostly bad matches. The ladder match with Jeff Hardy and the hardcore match with RVD I remember being good though. It also had some moments of Crazy Old Man which were good but Taker was like late thirties at the time, not a spring chicken but not exactly over the hill over
