John Cena question. Why was he so hated in 05/06/07 specifically? Before his burial of Nexus. I've gone back and watched all the 2006/2007 PPVs and Cena is consistently hitting it out of the park. Is it because he was going over "smark favourites" Jericho, Edge, Christian, Angle, etc? Is it the Roman Reigns thing where a guy is cool until WWE get behind him and meddle with a popular act?

he was the childrens' hero who didn't ever lose or leave the top storyline and his first couple of title reigns really poisoned him for good i thought. part of it was going over better/cooler workers but he held the belt for 9 months, lost it for less than one month, then held the belt again for 4 months. then when he lost it again, the belt was off him for less than 4 months before he won it again and held it for over a year. the only reason he didn't hold it longer was an injury and then he moved over to the other belt iirc. i guess if you like what he was doing back then it doesn't matter but internet fans sure didn't. edit. i forgot. let me explain just how much "the belt" and "having it" means here online

History Comes Inside! posted:Also this hideous piece of poo poo being the top title belt forever and ever I used to hate the spinner belt and the rapper gimmick. But Now I think both are good. Personally, I didn't like Cena at the time because I didn't think he deserved beating all my favorites, I thought he was just the flavor of the month guy they try to push and he'll be gone soon. Pissing his push into the wind. I was so, so, wrong, of course.

The spinner belt and gimmick would have been fine if they didn't make everyone else keep using the spinner belt. It made no sense to have everyone else use the gimmick-specific belt made for one dude.

Didn’t the belt get stuck with the WWE logo being tilted and it just stayed that way for years?

I thought they just stopped the spinning gimmick but kept it the same otherwise, if it was actually just stuck the whole time then lol.

I think it became "stuck" like that once Randy won the belt (whenever that was)

It’s arguably the best thing he’s ever done because it’s a thing that’s “his”. It’s a low bar to clear though.

When I was a kid I always liked wrestlers who had a post-match ritual, whether it was Jake Roberts covering someone with his snake, Ted Dibiase stuffing money in his opponents mouth or Brutus Beefcake cutting someone’s hair. Does anyone in wrestling currently do something like this?

Anthony Ogogo does a thing where he throws a Union Jack over his dead opponent. And I guess Max Caster with his hand kissing

Billy Gunn does that thing where he tries to dance with Audrey whether she wants it or not. It's weird and creepy. Angelico sometimes tries to get Bryce to do his dick-string dance, which is quite a bit funnier.

he keeps trying to dance with her every week b/c it's their inside joke. the reason she tries to get him to stop is because her role on tv is as an aew official and not a goofball. she has called him her dance partner on social media. aew is not having announcers make jokes about real HR violations that they themselves are recording and broadcasting, while doing nothing about it as well. If you believe otherwise you are the sticklest fiffer i've ever seen

She’s told stories about how they mess around with each other on unrestricted. You are reading way too much into what you see on the wrestling show, where people pretend to try and kill each other every week.

I will say, regardless of it being an inside joke between them, it's not the kind of thing I enjoy seeing in general, let alone on my favorite podcast. Gunn Club is honestly my least favorite part about dark, though that's not why.

I asked this in the Wrestlers on Social Media thread. But it's probably more suited to being asked here. I don't have an encyclopaedic memory, and it must have happened somewhere and at sometime. But I can't remember anytime there was a televised sneeze on a wrestling show. Either real or pantomimed. Just to annoy a certain petty thin skinned old man.

BrigadierSensible posted:I asked this in the Wrestlers on Social Media thread. But it's probably more suited to being asked here. Not televised, but years back there was this WWE comic series co-written by Mick Foley. It's mainly remembered for the completely trash art that took up the middle of it (for example, the artist didn't have any reference for El Torito, so he just made him a silhouette in every panel). One of the storylines was kind of a Hangover type of thing with Bryan, Punk, Mysterio and Hornswoggle where they apparently screwed up Raw's arena during some kind of blackout and now everyone was out to get them. This included Vince, who was written as having a bad cold and was constantly sneezing. I figured it was Foley choosing to mess with Vince via a project that Vince probably wasn't aware existed. Notably, the storyline ended with a weird moment of Bryan giving Punk a respectful goodbye, as the issue came out long after Royal Rumble 2014.
