The Samoan Spike rules. Solo has to work more on making it look vicious like Umaga. And yeah people need to sell it better.

Yeah, the Spike kicks rear end. Umaga also kicked rear end. Honestly surprised at how many people sold that as an impact move and not a throat-damage move. I wonder if there was some directive to not clutch at your throat or something by Vince/sponsors. Wouldn't surprise me from the same company that fired Danielson for the Justin Roberts tie choke.

Bigelow's only WWE main event program had him losing to a NFL player and he never really had close to that. Even by WWE's lax Hall of Fame standards that's not really good enough

Counterpoint, Koko B. Ware is in the Hall of Fame and as much as I liked Koko B. Ware as a kid, he never main evented against any NFL players at Wrestlemania.

The Hall of Fame is a joke because they just randomly throw people in there. Bigelow is an omission I hadn't thought about before, but it is pretty wild that he isn't in there considering some of the other lower-card/middle-card wrestlers who are in there. He had a tattooed head and did cartwheels for god's sake!

That was so weird to watch in real time. I remember goons posting the night of the Benoit memorial thread. Started off with both shock and sadness right until the Regal interview. That is the exact moment many of us went “ummm…. Something seems off.” The Vince moment on ECW I remember was the true beginning of the wtf. Man this thread was crazy. Good news is nobody here seriously thought Kevin Sullivan did it.

As a big Angle, Benoit and Eddgie G fan, these were a few rough years.

I don’t know how people didn’t immediately think something was horribly off when it was learned the whole family was dead. That set off alarms for me immediately and made the entirety of Raw seem so ill-conceived.

Wonder if HHH actually had to ask permission from Vince to talk to Punk, or if he just used that as excuse to not have to talk to Punk and knew it'd sound believable because Vince is an insane control freak

I was with her until she sought reinstatement.

I mean I guess it's admirable that she could want to be the catalyst for change in that place in terms of how they portray non-white characters, but I don't think anyone has that power.

Because whichever show went second would have a much worse pool and thus not be worth watching.

That wouldn’t be true, though, since they just alternate each pick so it’s not like Raw gets 40 picks up front and then Smackdown goes. Or is it?? Did they make the draft even stupider?

Thanks for the LWO info! I knew it was a stable in WCW but wasn’t sure if they were actively calling people the LWO again now or if they were just wearing the shirts to be cute.

I hope they bring in Jam Up Guy El Dandy.

I don't generally care about how old a wrestler is, it just became A Thing in WWE because they refused to make young, new stars anymore and only relied on the old ones. Old wrestlers can be cool as poo poo. It's just, you can't only have old wrestlers at the top of the card forever and ignore the young wrestlers who are getting over and could be huge stars as well.

I don’t care about the number but it’s kinda dumb to be giving a first main event push to a guy who’s already physically declining

expecting to get 5 more years of top performance out of him is much more optimistic than realistic imo

I think it'd be sillier if it was a guy who had been in WWE for like 15 years already or something. Priest got to WWE in 2018, so it's not too crazy to me for a guy in his 5th year in the company to be possibly getting a big main event push.

Yeah, in the grand scheme of convoluted wrestling poo poo, this is pretty low on the list. I do like someone’s suggestion of it being a tag move because it’d be a little more dynamic but it’s totally fine as-is.

In kayfabe how is going back down to developmental to challenge for the title seen as anything other than a massively embarrassing loser move. It should be the wrestling equivalent of Homer entering the build-your-own-power-plant competition, surely.

Corbin should just act like he's never been on the main roster but has some kind of amnesia and can't remember the last 5 years or whatever. Now he's confused as to why NXT looks different from what he remembered. It took him long enough to figure out where the new arena is, now he's pissed and wants to beat everyone's rear end for making him feel confused.

I started watching WWF during the beginning of the New Gen era but was always more of a WCW kid. I originally hated Goldust because I was a fan of The Natural but also the homophobic stuff was awful and while I didn't fully understand it I knew enough to be embarrassed by it. The comedy stuff Goldust did later was fine but it's hard for me to forget the crowd chanting the "F slur" during a lovely match against Razor Ramon back in the day.

Not to mention the time Jerry Lawler also called him the F-slur in a promo. Or, I think more accurately, asked if he was one. A shining time!
