The last person that actually went on to anything who won King of the Ring is '02. You can argue Booker in '06 but he was out of the company within a year of winning.

King of the Ring is just another name you recognize they're happy to squeeze dry until all your childhood nostalgia runs out just like Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble.

I'll never forgive them from doing away with silly themed teams and all the other stuff that made it unique

Kinda feel like Bret Hart had a point when I see poo poo like that. It still beats getting hit in the head with a chair, but maybe someone having a style that necessitates legitimately hurting people on a regular basis isn't a great thing. The Jericho Shibata match owned though so idk.

Maybe if wrestlers made a point of posting pictures of bruises from normal bumps and talking about how much they legitimately hurt I'd feel differently about it, but hearing about how some wrestlers like Undertaker basically refused to take chops because it sucks kind of made it sound like it must be pretty unpleasant. Not that he was taking huge bumps most of the time either, tbf.

Kinda feel like if you think this is legitimately hurting people you're gullible enough to fall for a wallet inspection.

the bumps are what actually hinders peoples' lives extremely badly with back or neck problems while chops look gross and hurt worse in the moment outside of botches

Dr Kool-AIDS
Mar 26, 2004

Yeah I didn't mean to imply people were getting permanent injuries from chops, and I have to concede that it's probably better to endure some temporary pain than to take lasting damage. I'll still wince a bit when I see some particularly brutal chops, but I guess that's the point.

shocked that the man who made himself big boss of a fake biker gang of a fake backstage courtroom and was noted as the Best Pure Striker because he wore MMA gloves is actually a huge bitch who is too fragile to take a chop

I mean just in general, she dresses like a space empress now and like, idk they're great outfits I just can't square it with the Becky lynch I liked

I think the problem might be that the overblown outfits worked for Seth and Becky's heel characters, they don't quite mesh with babyface characters. Especially if they are underdog baby faces.

"Dresses like an rear end in a top hat" isn't usually a positive trait.

Completely outside of wrestling characters I think it was a cool outfit for someone to wear. No real opinion about how it matches her character, but talking about it on Raw sucked either way.

Some people got bad risk assessment. Chops might be unpleasant but they're a transient kind of unpleasant that comes and goes, VS the kind of long-term damage that taking bumps can cause.

Although I do wonder if the Fed's murderous schedule magnifies the kind of issues that people would have with stuff like that VS organizations where wrestlers don't have to wrestle or travel as frequently

How is dressing cool and unique dressing like an rear end in a top hat. do you just not gently caress with fashion or what
