Like, I’m not claiming Nancy Reagan suddenly clawed her way out of the grave to demand brains and also to say that the promo was good

Some folks online seemed to like it, and we appear to be in the minority

You don’t have to like it, but you do have to accept it

I refuse to accept that. I want to speak to a manager!

it does make me sad to see Punk and Rhodes do mid watered down versions of their work in AEW and see people lose their minds for it

Punk shouldn’t headline Wrestlemania so I’m good with that.

As for WWE being more sports based, I can’t wait for the bald Twitter blue checks with goatees to rip into WWE for this since their criticism of other territories is they don’t know how to tell stories.

Nah, wwe will absolutely “be doing it right”, and they will claim that if AEW had been doing it like wwe is doing it in three months, they might have actually liked AEW

(They would not have actually liked AEW)

WWE loves the philosophy “tell don’t show” (like all great storytellers a thousand or so years, as we all know) so that tracks.

And I'm not afraid to die.

Rankings are great. At best it gives us compelling little stories and great long term booking. And if bookers gently caress it up and just want someone to go for a title you can just ignore them like every other combat sport.

Rankings are cool and if they’re based on win-loss records they’re the least confusing thing you can do.

WWE has posted some Rumbles on their YouTube and watching 1994 has some fun little moments that are probably easily overlooked.

- Bob Backlund came SO CLOSE to accidentally eliminating Diesel during Diesel’s monster run of eliminations.
- Greg Valentine got a pretty wild pop for his entrance which I wasn’t expecting for Valentine in 1994.
- Tenryu chops the poo poo out of Luger. Bob Holly later tries to chop the poo poo out of Tenryu, maybe the beginning of Holly becoming a jerk who stiffs and bullies people? He was inspired by chops!
- Tenryu also hosed up a spot between Michaels and Jannetty which was pretty funny.

In the 1995 Rumble the camera is focused on one of Well Dunn making their entrance and there’s a huge pop, but it’s because either Owen or Backlund were getting tossed out in the ring.

Haha that’s fantastic. I think this one was just a Hammer pop but maybe something else was going on.

A couple other things - there’s a security guard front row across from the hard cam who is watching the match like 90% of the time instead of watching the crowd, and despite having two alternates earlier in the rumble nobody came out for one entrant because “that was supposed to be Bastion Booger but he got a little sick”.

I remember on the early Sunday show at the time (All American Wrestling?) they had a segment of Bastion Booger pulling his number and getting all excited because he got 28, only to be told that he had to draw again due to blabbing.

And really, that should have been the strategy of anyone who ever pulled a one-digit entry number.
