In terms of bad live performances, one honorary mention should be whoever played at WM18. I think it was Drowning Pool, but I might be off. The performance itself wasn't so bad for what it was. It was just that it was introduced as "telling the story of the Chris Jericho vs. Triple H main event." They knew that their main event had such a lovely storyline going into the show that it could not be saved by even WWE's video package team. The best they could do was have this buttrock band play with monitors showing quick clips of Jericho and Triple H hitting each other with the occasional shot of Stephanie looking angry.

Ganso Bomb posted:My partner is going to be out of town for a week next month and I took that time off of work, so maybe I'll blast through these dumb, dumb movies then since I'll have lots of time to fill. This is exactly what I did. A few years ago, my then-fiancee left for a weekend bachelorette party and I figured, what the hell, I'm going to marathon all eight movies over two days. As someone who loves lengthy movie series that mutate in various oddball directions (ie. Rocky, X-Men, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street), it was a fascinating watch. The first movie is a competent-enough update of Point Break. Then the sequel is like Speed 2 where the main actor is nowhere to be seen but they make a movie anyway. The third one is the black sheep and is barely connected to the rest of the franchise. But it's connected in a way that makes the continuity really weird and at times meta. The fourth movie feels like a big culmination, but is probably the worst movie of the series and is only interesting in the cliffhanger. Once it hits Fast 5, poo poo starts getting completely crazy and over-the-top and it's entertaining as hell.

Eventually, he was in a tag match against two ROH heels who were trained by Punk and wanted revenge for the offensive comedy gimmick. Then CP Munk unmasked to reveal he was Necro Butcher "all along."

TheKingslayer posted:This kind of reminds me of when Del Rio came back and surprise beat Cena with a super kick and they never mentioned it since they wanted fans to forget Cena ever lost for when he made the eventual return. Or when Ziggler took out nearly all of the Authority's Survivor Series team, but Cena was the captain and Sting showed up, so nobody ever brought it up.

Nick Khan saw Braun getting slimed and that there was a guy on the roster named Aleister, and he decided, "You can't do that on television!" Firing all those people despite record profits was the introduction to the opposite sketches.

My favorite thing about the lineal championship concept is how someone was interviewing Wade Barrett and brought up that he was the current lineal champion and he gave this knowing laugh like he absolutely was aware of that already.

JUNGLE BOY posted:https://twitter.com/SeanRossSapp/status/1402695639897681920?s=20 Man. So DIY vs. AoP vs. Revival is possibly my favorite WWE match of the past five years. It's so damning to see what became of all three teams. One went to the main roster, got screwed around, asked for their releases and moved on to the competition where they felt more respected. One went to the main roster for a cup of coffee, got screwed around and made sure to hide out in developmental until the heat death of the universe. Then the dominant team came to the main roster, got screwed around, got released and now they're just done.

BaronVanAwesome posted:A very hearty lol here for me - Sort of the same idea, but there was a WrestleMania pre-show battle royal where the final two would challenge for the tag titles later that night. D'Lo and Test were busy fighting it out while the other guys remaining accidentally eliminated each other. - Darren Young won a battle royal this way during his Bob Backlund protege run. - During the early 90s I recall coming across a promotion on TV that had Lightning Kid on the roster right when he was first becoming a thing in WWF. Seems like it was UWF. They had a battle royal for a title shot and a jobber guy woke up in the center of the ring to discover he somehow won. The heel champ was on commentary, very happy with this outcome. - Chikara's last Infinite Gauntlet match had a whole subplot where the heel GM decided to hire a bunch of students (who wrestled as masked jobbers) to fill up the battle royal roster for extremely cheap. They ended up working as a unit and made it so that the entire ring was cleared before the final entrant, Ophidian (later revealed to be their leader), would come out and win by default.

Kirios posted:Imagine having a bunch of top tier wrestlers on your roster, with fully fleshed out characters and can go as well as anyone in the world. Now imagine cutting them and let your biggest rival in 20 years scoop them up and create their now and future with these amazing talents. Something that comes to mind for me is the 2019 Royal Rumble. Going into the show, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose were having a high-profile feud. Rollins would win the thing, but Ambrose was considered a big deal in relation. So it was a huge shock that Ambrose got eliminated by NXT entrant Aleister Black. It made it look like they were super high on Black and that this was going to be a major first step on the main roster. That elimination was in fact the first step of us finding out that Ambrose was finishing up and leaving soon. And now Black has been run out the same way. Just odd to think of in retrospect.

Cena will also have to be born naked that's the rules, the RAW rating will start off with an all time low, but as word gets around the internet that Cena is climbing out of the Fiend's rear end naked, covered in birth and mucus under the red stage lights, over a billion people will tune into the USA Network, this begins the second Attitude Era. And when everyone thinks it's over, Cena reveals that he brought some backup. Rey Mysterio fires out of the Fiend's rear end like a cannon.

Back in 1993, WWF introduced a new heel Bastion Booger. His debut match was slated for an episode of Superstars, as was the norm. Presumably, he'd take on some local talent and squash them in order to establish him and build him up. Said match ended up being against Virgil, who was just a step higher than local talent. He was basically the lowest ranked face in the company and was long past relevancy at this point. But whatever, Virgil was who they would throw in to job to monsters like Sid Justice, Yokozuna and Giant Gonzalez. Why not make him a victim of this new, ugly, fat guy heel? So anyway, Virgil won with a crucifix pin after just a couple minutes. Bastion Booger debuted by losing to the biggest jobber on the active roster. A week or two later, he'd get his win back. Still, even as a 12-year-old who had only been watching wrestling for two years, the whole thing felt really weird. I'd discover years later that basically everything relating to the Bastion Booger run was Vince loving with the guy portraying the wrestler. What I'm trying to say is that Karrion Kross should be referred to as Bastion Booger '21.
