"If I lose I will set myself on fire."

I would love to understand the reasoning behind this very interesting opinion

Have you ever heard the phrase "so bad it's good"

Wrestling is inherently bad and when it's good it means it's bad enough to circle around to being good.

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.

I like that Sami kept that part of the Solomon Crowe gimmick in TNA which translates into playing some computer noises before he magically teleports to the ring.

I want TH2's gimmick to be that they're hackers and to use WatchDogs style aesthetic and then use this song:

And they'd be really good at dancing to it and wearing those weird neon masks and black light responsive clothing and poo poo

The speed that NXT has gone from the best thing ever to hot garbage that deserves to die to these people just because it fell out of favour with Vince is amazing. Is there something deep in the human mind where we just decide to become a peasant for whatever feudal king that we identify the most with that got transferred over to Billionaires?

WCW was great. Even when it was awful, you couldn't take your eyes away from it. The saturday night show had a revolving door of the strangest gimmicks. They had a dude that wrestled like Kane(with the full mask and bodysuit) but dressed like a baseball guy.
