AEW / WWE thread - Real Fighting about Fake Fighting

How much was the buy in? I may be in this year

 

I think it was $30. I'm absolutely in. My kid keeps reminding me about how I got Dolph Ziggler last year and how bad he did.

 

Recent ones:

 

That's a decent SD number

 

takes a while to break habits

 

Guys I watched Smackdown this morning and my god what a great two hours of TV.

I have no idea how the two products are so night and day... I know they say Vince has his hand in both but to me it seems like most Smackdowns feel like NXT vs RAW.

205 live was really good last night and I was really down on the product. Its earned another night for me.

 

Should I make a new thread for the Royal Rumble lotto or do everything in this thread?

 

do it ITT and I'm in

 

So bored listening to xpac shoots

 

Listened it him talking wrestling AJ high on meth....gotdamm

 

Everything on smackdown was on point but having mojo on our tv

 

Watched WrestleMania think 92'.. flair vs savage was awesome. Sid. Piper vs Hart best match of the card imho. Having Harvey whippleman has Sid's manager vs Hogan in the main event...Wtf

 

Typhoon and earthquake. Yeah

 

First match was hbk vs Tito playing the el ima bullfighter bullshite

 

Taker vs Jake the snake was cool but the story line before the match A+. I forgot jake DDT'n Percy Pringle in front of takers face.

 

Taker dragging the casket trying to get to Jake after slamming the door down on Taker's hand is one of my favorite wrestling memories from my childhood

Love WM8, seems to have a bad rap though

 

I remember Jake yelling who's side are you on! And him saying "Not.....yours". Giant mark out moment as a kid.

I still have nightmares from him locking Warrior in that casket. As a child I was panicking.

 

Hoosier Dome right?

 

Yes sir

 

Gorilla and Brain on the call.

 

When papa shango missed his spot at the end

 

Sid bout to get the title tho...I remember he was kbk bodyguard then attacked him on Raw. Guess Shawn lost his smile there.

 

Flair/Savage was really good but I didn't think the ending was as good as rest of the match. Didn’t care for a roll up finish outta nowhere.

 

I don't remember it, what happened.

 

Here first. Then if it needs to be expanded we can (?)

 

I'm absolutely in again for the rumble lotto

 

"Hulk Hogan hits the legdrop, and covers Sid Justice for the pin. Justice realizes that Papa Shango isn’t there — and kicks out. Hogan is visibly confused and agitated. Harvey Wippleman, who hadn’t noticed Shango’s absence in time to do anything about it, finally jumps up on the apron to distract the referee. Sid and Hulk are staring at one another. When Harvey climbs in the ring, the referee calls for the bell, disqualifying Sid for no particular reason. Hogan picks up Harvey and throws him onto Sid, who catches him and sets him aside. Sid and Hulk continue to stare at one another and sort of brawl, neither having any idea what the hell to do now. Papa Shango finally begins running down the entryway, having either missed his cue or radically misjudged just how far the ring was from the gorilla position (note: really freakin’ far.) A minute later, Shango finally makes it to the ring and the beatdown and Warrior run-in continue as scheduled.

One way or another, Papa Shango was very, very late — blowing the planned finish to Wrestlemania VIII, and inadvertently making Sid one of the few people to kick out of the leg drop."

 

I always freaked out when taker put jobbers in body bags

 

Shite I freaked when fink said '' Hailing from parts unknown".

 

SummerSlam 92, first time I saw a coffin match.

thought we lost Kamala forever

 

Me and my bro rented a vhs with a coffin match. We slept with the lights on that night

 

That and being thrown backstage on the set of MTV remote control gave me nightmares. Legit thought people died in both instances.

 

For those that didn't see Talking Smack

 

this was literally my first experience with wrestling flipping through the channels one Sunday afternoon, I was terrified

 

damn Becky's pun game is outta control

 

yep it's my first wrestling memory (warrior in the casket). I was legit freaked out.

 

I watched Raw and some of Road Block over the last week, which had been the first time I've seen anything on Raw since shortly after the split.

Raw is awful, god awful. Worse than the non-Hardy part of TNA Impact.

Smackdown feels like a proper Wrestling program while Raw feels more like a poorly written Soap Opera.

They've fucked up character development on nearly every wrestler on the roster.

The cruiserweights look fucking stupid in the ring, KO is another chickenshit heel, they are still really really hoping that you will like Roman Reigns in his orange fat vest, the eventual TT title change payoff was to 2 midcard jobbers that creative had no idea for and the divas division is booked like shit.

Its a bad show that's slowly paced because they have to stretch out the bullshit over 3 hours.

It's obvious that Vince has his hands allover Raw and still thinks that Smackdown is on Thursday, so it gets left alone mostly.

Started 1998 no way out of Texas..Don't remember it one bit..

First thing Mero comes out with sable, got on the mic to tell there's only room for one sexy person in the ring. Sent her off.

I turned it off.

Stone Cold has a story that he n Mero were gonna work a program until sable power bombed him. Stone called Vince and said F that.

 

Noelle Foley just the baddest. Dam

 

I call those the moments when every attractive woman you've ever known walks in and asks "what ya watching?"

 

No Katie Vick?

 

I'm in on the Rumble

 

RIP

 

God I love Graves. Picked every single person to win the fatal four way elimination match and patted himself on the back the entire time. He makes Tom break so often

 

She's a great brand embassador and on screen character, but she should have no say in the creative process whatsoever.
