For me it's test.
No dimes midcard shitters.
Hit the weights and take a shower, I'm beggin ya.
still more over and fondly remembered than anyone in the current product will.
a random d'lo vs steve blackman match on RAW got 10 times the crowd reaction than wrestlemania main events get in 2023
For me it's how they basically just set Test up to get cucked by HHH
His character and career would never recover
c**ter has always been a huge self mark homosexual willing to bury anyone that wasn't him so he could get the top spot in the company.
Sometimes I wonder how different it would have been if UW hadn't steamrolled him at WM
Or if that even made a difference at all to what he became
I always assumed it was because he was the only Kliq member punished for the curtain call. Dude humbly taking his arguably unjust punishment while inwardly seething and plotting revenge is anime villain origin stuff
There's a story from the realms of urban legend that Gaytch said "I'm gonna run this place some day" to someone when he first joined WWF. Sits in the
>bullshit but i believe it
territory for me
He was lucky to get into that significant a storyline. He wasn't anything special, and that's why his career never recovered, he never deserved that spot to begin with.
Hi paul!
He was a forgettable jobber with no personality, he was never going to make it.
He's right, though.
Test wasn't big enough to be physically intimidating for audiences because of his height. It's much more difficult for a really tall guy to come across as anything but lanky on screen and their size also negatively impacts their agility and speed.
Andre managed it because he had that disease which makes you whole body grow disproportionately large and he was a bit fat.
Andre was a foot taller and nearly 300 pounds larger than test.
And that's why he was popular despite being slow as shit, because he was visibly massive.
Test was lanky and looked more like a male model than a wrestler.
He was handsome as frick. He had a great look. His only downside is was his lack of mic skills.
I met him years ago when I was a teenager, dude is fricking massive. I'm 6'4 and he fricking towered over me, probably also had like 80 lbs of muscle on me
>is
was
This was probably not the way to introduce him for Droz's match, in retrospect
>HE'S GOING TO CONFINE HIM TO A WHEELCHAIR FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, AS GAWD AS MY WITNESS!
I really like that Vince tried to take care of Droz and even got some chick in the company to marry him
Every now and then he almost seems human
Those were business decisions to protect his own ass had nothing to do with actual human empathy.
Kino
WWF peaked here
Remember when the Yakuza chopped off his wiener?
They missed.
Yeah, and in the next episode he came out with John Wayne Bobbit and explained that they missed because it retracted in fear.
You have a good memory, i cant remember that at all
>comes back
>can't even cut a promo anymore
>gets booed and we want austin chants
What went wrong?
>gets booed and we want austin chants
Lol did he really? I haven't watched in years
he literally had to beg for this spot after black adam flopped to salvage whatever career he had left
>>gets booed and we want austin chants
link?
He was one of the few guys that was more over than the business itself and let it get to his head leading him to sell out and become a hollyisraelite actor. His acting career has been pretty mediocre and the mania match he had with Cena exposed him as a shitter. Nobody wanted him back and he should have stayed in hollywood.
>leading him to sell out
it was a good move, financially and health wise.
>His acting career has been pretty mediocre
Not commercially speaking, he's one of the biggest draws there is for some reason.
>financially and health wise
Anon he's been roiding to the gills for the past decade in a half and looks like he could die of a heart attack any second.
Indisputably being ring active fricks your body up more than not being ring active, steroids or not.
>the mania match he had with cena exposed him as a shitter
Dwayne was always a shitter in the ring and the only reason he ever got over was because of his promos and selling abilities. That being said it wasn't his fault vince went full moron and tried to capitalize on his Hollywood fame when he returned by hotshotting a match with him and cena.
People know after the last time that he's going to keep coming back when his acting career is in a dip to stay relevant, he's not going to stay.
i think i only have seen the Rock like twice in the past 6 or 7 yrs. i think he was on the first Smackdown on Fox show before Covid, where he was pretty rusty but still over. then he was on a few weeks ago with Pat Mcafee for that Austin Theory segment, he was very rusty but still over. he did not get booed either time
but he has like 30% of the intensity and fire that got him into stardom, he looks very tired and old in his last appearance
?si=5tcNJ5-5F1iwXBo8
why lie? this is one of the biggest pops i've ever seen
Watching this reminds me how much they owe Jim Johnston, what a fricking railroading they did to him
Val Venis and the Godfather would have been a great permanent tag team
I always thought Godfather having a split personality like Mankind with his other personality being Papa Shango would have been kino
team name: Supply and Demand
For me, it's Meat.
The most I remember about this guy is his name was Stasiak and he kind of sucked
That's not MEAT moron. That's PMS
That's PMS...with Meat.
Okay. Sorry. Love you
why did they add that 3rd b***h? completely killed the vibe
Beastiality sex with Jacqueline
Savio came back to WWE randomly recently when Backlash was held in PR.
For me, it's Kwang.
Wrestling was only good when Russo was at the helm
Hi Vince
Hugely underrated
Loved when they stole the fricking monitors from the announce table
Kino as frick
>blacks on tv bad
>blacks on tv playing racist stereotypes of blacks as petty criminals good
Why are you like this?
kino
This era caused so many injuries by kids re-enacting this stuff around the world. Good times
It's hilarious how WWE bought out ECW and thought they could put on better hardcore matches. RIP my homie new jack.
tbf to Vince he did give ECW a great send off
RVD deserved so much better, dude was insane in the ring and had some pretty decent charisma.
RVD spawned this entire new generation of flippy spot monkey geeks.
Nah that was eddie, benoit and rey mysterio. The difference is those guys actually looked like they belonged in the ring compared to the flabby out of shape manlets we have now.
Before that it was Dynamite Kid and Tiger Mask
>benoit
nah he wasn't a flippy guy or spotmonkey at all
He was just a humble guy beating his brain into mush with a moron tier finisher for decades
Thing is the diving headbutt wasn't even his finisher. It was a transitional move that usually lead to his finisher the Crippler Crossface. Could've easily switched it out for something else, it never looked that great anyway.
Although I don't think it was the main reason for him going loopy, although cetainly didn't help. He came up in an era where unprotected chair shots to the head were all the rage. And I think he ate more than most due to his resilient, never say die persona.
They were never going to accept anyone that got a name outside the WWF, they buried everyone to "prove some shit", did the same thing to all the wcw guys after the buyout
That's just vince being petty as usual.
still haven't forgiven vince for what he did to DDP
I'm rewatching Nitro on peawiener and it's crazy how DDP got over so quickly after losing a "loser leaves town match" and jobbing to Johnny B. Badd and The Booty Man. 1997 WCW was kino
I'll bust out my Monday Night Jericho t-shirt to work on Thursday.
>had some pretty decent charisma.
He was an amazing wrestler, had a ring presence, worked the crowd great but wasnt good on the mic or couldn't cut a good promo, unfortunately. Which is why he never became a top tier superstar. I was a huge fan though
Biggest reason he never became top tier was him getting busted for having weed in his car one week after they made him world champion
They'd never trust him again after that
Rob was pretty cool
Always hated how dumb the crossface looked, all you had to do was nail him in the balls
His Smokey Mountain promos are fricking legendary, it's a shame all that was way too hot for national TV (or even a larger market) and he was never allowed shine on the big stage.
The cocaine alone made him too big a liability.
if you haven't been hit by a steel chair or did a flying elbow smash from the top rope you haven't lived as a kid
We used to drag mattresses into the living room to use the couches as turnbuckles while wrestling was on, pissed the neighbors downstairs off to no end, they came up several times yelling about shit getting knocked off their walls and we should be ashamed of ourselves doing that kind of shit in our 20's
I knocked my brother out cold giving him an Alabama Slam
jesus christ
#bringbackcocaineandsteroids
JUICE MAKE SUGAR
pretty sure he's an accountant in New Jersey now or some shit
I was just a kid so maybe stuff went over my head, but WWF had too many of these boring regular name wrestlers that didn't seem to have any gimmick. It's like they only existed to fill time between the comedy skits and 'real' matches near the end of the night.
That's literally what a midcarder is anon.
Oh. Was there some conscious decision where they couldn't experiment by trying things with them? Give them an outfit that's more interesting than suspenders or something at least. I remember some vampire guy, Gangrel or something, who I don't remember getting much attention but he did get a cool intro and he was a vampire instead of simply Bob Johnson from Lousiana
David Heath aka Gangrel said he had his fangs bonded. Then he got rid of them sometime back.
WWE has always experimented with gimmicks to try and get people over but half the time it never worked and whenever it did it was a stroke of pure luck. The company does this even more today but that's because this new generation of superstars suck shit and can't get over to save their lives so the company is constantly scrambling in a desperate attempt to find a new gimmick to get over.
It's usually down to potential and talent. not everybody is even good enough to be above mid, mid is their best.
Lot of guys got fricked by Vince just not liking them and therefore "creative would never have anything for them", but they've tried to give megapushes to guys that didn't have what it took before coughReignscough and it never works right
People can get over on their own or they can't, the company can only stop you from naturally getting over, they can't make you get over
They wish they could
Kane's another great example of natural midcard shoved above his talent level, every time Kane had the belt is sucked worse than the last time
Big Show too, but Big Show is even worse than Kane
I liked the big show tbqh
?feature=shared&t=447
>natural midcard
He was main event material but always had the unfortunate luck of being booked in incredibly shit matches when he wasn't in a feud with someone he had to put over but that's mainly due to glenn being an incredibly nice guy IRL and never saying no to vince.
Remember when Austin walked out the night after WrestleMania 18 because he didn't like his place on the card?
Remember when Austin skipped the brand split draft in 2002 because he wasn't going to be the first pick?
Remember when he no showed a bunch of Raws in Fall 01 because he had to put kurt angle over for 9/11 reasons and he didn't want to?
Remember when he walked out again because he was seething over lesnar and vince was trying to move on from Austins old ass?
Remember when he didn't want to put The Rock over at WrestleMania 2000 so he got his neck surgery faster than he was supposed to?
>There he is
Based Austin not giving a single frick about other homosexuals wrestlers or the business. Austin was one of the few pro wrestlers that had an actual spine and wasnt a braindead npc in real life.
>and wasnt a braindead npc in real life.
>He doesn't know?
He doesn't know!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
WHAT?
>this (sweltering) summer
*KWAB*
>one man
*KWAB*
>will get raped and gaped
*random explosion*
CRAZY PET COON!!!!
WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT
Mmmmmmmm... badass is back
>complete with Kid Rock
oh no no no no
why do they have a constant artificial crowd white noise
>*glass shatters*
?si=GwWh-RBuy3s5wvNJ&t=604
Legitimately impressive sell
How is he still doing this shit at his age? Most guys from his era can barely move in the ring from themselves into sawdust.
Weed is a hell of a drug
Notice how they didn't show him jumping up to the top rope or doing split legged moonsaults.
Weed and bimbos, dude.
amen
Why and when did they went from wearing colorful costumes to all of them wear black?
Your standard black trunks, black boots is the best and most basic wrestling outfit. If you want an answer, it was around 2014 when a majority of the performers began wearing darker and darker outfits.
>be black man in unitard grappling with other sweaty men in similar states of undress
>name yourself “down low”
Not even remotely subtle. This homie zesty as frick.
how do they decide who will be a champion
Its up to the promoter and the booker and its determined who will draw the most money. There are lots of variables.
wtf is that.. it sort of looks like.. is that charisma? is that some amount of charisma in wrestling? i thought that was phased out
I remember watching him as a kid and it felt funny down there. I always looked up to him and want to watch his watch. anyone else like this?
Shut up, troon homosexual.
For me, it's the Legion of Doom.
The real GOAT
>64 percs a day
How do they remember 10+mins of choreography? It's pretty impressive.
Really not that hard when you think about it.
>hey what's the finish for tonight?
>I hit you with a clothesline off the top rope and pin you for the 1, 2, 3
>sorry brother that finish isn't going to work for me
And for the 9mins before that?
That may work for Hogan and other self marks who can't into work rate, but Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat famously practiced their exact choreography for hours at a time for days on end in preparation for their Wrestlemania match.
>muh work rate
Have sex I'm beggin ya.
How?
Do professional body builders actually use that lift or is it just a gimmick?
pick a hand
RVD is based, calling out CM Punk for being a fricking karen on an airplane because an attendant dared to move his suitcases 6 inches.
Any streams of the old Kino days going? I just took a late nap and now ill be up all fricking night
