That was around when I quit watching to be honest but that’s mostly cause I got older and was more into online computer games.

I quit watching because I saw HHH, wearing nothing but a Kane mask, get into a coffin and hump a mannequin. I turned off the TV, said "I guess I don't like wrestling anymore" and then didn't watch WWE again until I heard about Daniel Bryan and the Shield.

They put Earthquake under a mask, called him Golga, and sent him out with a stuffed Cartman.

I attended a Nitro in Philadelphia where someone had a "Assault on Devil's Island Sucked My Left Nut" sign but I assume it didn't make it on TV.

Grendels Dad posted:Enjoying farting but despising sneezing, the man is a hypocrite! See, a fart can be used to exert power over others, while a sneeze is a loss of power over the self. It makes perfect sense for the extraordinarily screwed up mess that is Vince McMahon. TheSwizzler posted:12 year old me showin up at International Incident with an Austin 3:16 sign while he was still heel and the uncle who took me telling me to put it away or someone would get mad I was cheering a heel That reminds me of some fond memories attending an early 1997 house show in Montreal, mainly remembering that plenty of fans didn't care if you were officially a heel, they'd cheer you anyway. Steve Austin wrestled Mankind and I saw for the first time just how popular he was getting, and the Nation of Domination came out and there were plenty of hands around me who responded to their 'raised fist semi sig heil' with their own. Also, it seems like Mick lost his boots, because he came out in gold ones. I noticed (front rowish seats), but he called attention to it by saying he was indeed wearing Goldust's boots. He lost, and afterwards got on the mike and angrily declared "Shut up! I'm not through with the Undertaker, I'm not through with Stone Cold, and Goldust, I'm gonna kick your rear end with your own boots!"

I've heard that in lucha libre and Japanese wrestling, heels aren't necessarily boo'd anyway.

I'm working on that one next, I just got sidetracked with that Vince/champions list. It's going to be a breakdown of Shane's big return after years of absence up to him keeling over after a moment of in-ring action at this year's WrestleMania.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I've heard that in lucha libre and Japanese wrestling, heels aren't necessarily boo'd anyway. I think the thing with Japanese wrestling in particular is that many promotions don't have any outright heels, or they'll be a subsection/faction of the roster. There's way less...strife? There's obviously bad blood and feuds, but they tend to come from character as opposed to alignment. Most matches are between people that do not hate each other on principle, and honestly, I find it more intriguing. More of a competitive vibe with somewhat less skullduggery (go away house of torture please)
