If Cena had beaten CM Punk at money in the bank, there'd probably have been a bit of arson.

This is really where Hassan's gimmick failed: his very first video was a calm 'I don't want to be judged by my ethnicity because of what other people did'.

That would require them to tell a story using vignettes. Why do that when you can just have Michael Cole tell us instead?

Vince ends up going to work for Bischoff, politics his way up the ranks, becomes head booker instead of Russo, and when the AOL/Time Warner merger comes still buys the company out for a song.

In the end nothing changes except no XFL or Linda Senate runs.

Words cannot describe how sad I was that Cena didn't come out in a Red, White, and Blue Monster Truck and run over Rusev's tank at Mania.

They basically tried doing a 'But what side is he on?' thing with Luger. But it never really worked. He ends up just essentially heeling it up behind Sting's back. So Sting would take a bump, then Luger would cheat to win, and Sting would be confused. During this time it has never crossed his mind to perhaps view the replay or just watch a tape.

You know, for 30 years I have watched very, very little of myself wrestling, so I probably would not.

Who was the WCW star that was hosed over most in the WWE after the buyout?

NikkolasKing posted:

The highlight of his sad little WWF title match with Boss Man was when he "nipped up" or "kipped up" or whatever it is. It's that thing where Shawn Michaels or other little guy somehow magically get to a standing position with...I guess it's leg strength and agility?

But yeah, needless to say, Big Show is a lot bigger than Shawn Michaels or the other guys you typically see do this. It was loving amazing to see him do it.

e: also, yeah, I'm actually kind of surprised by that because you'd think the overlap between Attitude Era marks and people who were juggalos in the late 90s would be pretty close to a circle.

Any move can be a credible finisher, though. All it takes is winning with it enough times, maybe doing it with a little more flair than most guys, give it a cool name, and then suddenly it's established as a killer move.

Like, I forget who - it might have been Jake Roberts - but a guy was asked in a backstage interview once, "hey, what separates you doing this move that's commonly used by other guys, why is this move your finisher when for most guys it's just a regular move?" and he just gave the answer "when I do it, they stay down."

It's that simple. Big Show got a punch over. Edge did a running hug and people bought it.

Hogan not knowing the nwo's name for like two weeks really heightened how crazy the whole thing was when it started.

It's similar to that Road Dogg shirt that was eventually banned where it said something on the back like "Roll this dog a bone" when that hasn't been used as slang for joint in decades, even at the time.

I think he was an "affiliate," but not actually a member.

Would've made a better Horseman than loving Paul Roma, though.

I thought Knobbs was in TNA a bunch in the early 00s and then again when Hogan showed up.

And can someone give me a brief rundown on why Disco is an rear end in a top hat? Not defending the guy or anything, I just don't think I've ever seen why he's so disliked.
