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.

It owns that they're piping in noise in a panic over fans hijacking the show

Its an own goal. The We Want chants are always because of someone being screwed over dating back to We Want Flair in WCW ar Great American Bash.

They didn't have to cut Bray for any reason.

Unlike WCW however it keeps failing upwards. Just like Jimmy Fallon, which is why they're both on Peacock.

The Bryan and vinny recaps of every episode of the Monday night wars are an indispensable resource if you want to see how bad WCW got in 1999 and 2000.

But i will always adore them more for showing that retrospectively the two most misunderstood stars who were actually awesome were Lex Luger and Sid who were both loving hilarious.

WWE 2021 has the same levels of apathy amongst the production crew as late stage WCW. They’re just going through the motions for a paycheck and I can’t blame them one bit.

Lol I was just wondering about this, I don't watch much UUDD but am subscribed to it and figured they just had a ton of leftover footage with breeze already in the can but I saw Xavier tweet them all doing a game of uno or something and I was like man wtf are you doing?? If he's getting paid I guess that's one thing but dude's still putting in hours for his former employer even if it's playing videogames with friends.

Everyone should watch these because they provide so much context

Specifically they are covering the Russo era of WCW and also help to find out Russo was an accelerationist of a dying WCW than just the cause. loving Seven and Berlyn started before he arrived.

OFFICIAL RACIST
So Nikki pinned Charlotte sorta clean I guess? I mean Charlotte hosed herself up but still, the finish was clean enough I guess.

The gimmick is still absolute loving trash though, especially since the audience actively cheered for Charlotte whenever she was on offense and chanted for CM Punk whenever Nikki ASH had control.

I got a taste for blown saves
clean in the sense that charlotte could have easily won at any time for like ten minutes and then through her own hubris lost

It wasn't just the fans, it was a bunch of WWE employees past and present making GBS threads on it. It kind of felt like a concentrated effort to draw attention to it by the WWE.

The head is tilted to his left, but the face looks like it's from a dead-on shot, and was just pasted in randomly

Also, how does WWE not have a "applause/cheers button" in the truck ready to go, what the gently caress kevin dunn, why would you have michael cole's voice on the audio file
