So You Want to Get Into WWE: A World Wrestling Entertainment Primer

"If I lose I will set myself on fire."
That would be helpful. Let's collaborate.

What you need to know about WWE:

Vincent Kennedy McMahon
Is the boss of WWE. Old, but will never retire or die.

Triple H
The King of Kings. Not dead.

Roman Reigns
He's there and apparently he's good now but I'd have to watch it to know that for sure.

Shinsuke Nakamura
Living his best life, getting paid and going to surf all the time. I miss him but I really can't say I blame him.

Kushida
Uh... Is he still there? No seriously, I haven't heard of him.

New Japan Pro Wrestling
The promotion they took Kushida from and I haven't heard of him since.

Titles
I think they have a main and a secondary title as well as tag titles for each brand. They are probably blue or red.

Biggest Events
Wrestlemania Weekend: They host Wrestlemania and other promotions I actually watch also have shows in the same town on the same weekend.
The Rumble: It's good even when it sucks. Especially if you don't otherwise care about the product.

Cody Rhodes
Go to the AEW thread to find out more!

I think that's comprehensive enough for now.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

Can Lashley sing? Because the only way I agree with this depends on his rendition of Put A Little rear end On It

Man, Rikishi owned

Sandman from ECW
Sep 6, 2011

Things I like about Rikishi:

The Rikishi Driver

Putting on sunglasses and then dancing with Too Cool

The way he sold clotheslines

Put A Little rear end On It

Shoots about how clean (or not) his thong was for various Stink Faces

Edit: Haven't seen it since back in the day, but I will add his cage match with Val Venis

Oh and his butt. Dude had a crazy looking butt.

Back in the days when I regularly watched PWG Willie Mack was always one of my favourite mid-carders. Whatever happened to that dude?

Rikishi was my be all end all favorite at 9 years old.

Sandman from ECW
Sep 6, 2011

As a young fan Rikishi wasn’t my absolute #1 favourite (sup X-Pac) but I’m pretty sure the reveal of him as the guy who ran over Stone Cold and the subsequent heel turn might be the first time I was seriously let down by a storyline.
The Invasion was like a year later and my transformation into bitter internet smark was complete.

Fake Edit: Upon further thought the reveal of Vince as the Higher Power was probably the first major let down, but my point still stands :colbert:
