And also winning the tag titles together while Jesse Ventura pondered on commentary "CAN THEY CO-EXIST".

They would win said titles from an established team like The Hart Foundation.

The Hart Foundation would then be re-packaged as a comedy tag team before Bret Hart eventually got released for not reaching hard enough for that brass ring.

lmfao this company remains tone deaf

They just do what they want and fuck what anyone else thinks, then they wonder why their ratings are in the shitter. Vince is too stubborn to admit he's out of touch, so this trend will continue until he's no longer in the picture.

It's just cyclical, bro.

The FOX/SmackDown deal doesn't end until fall 2024.

FOX can be pissed all they want but the deal will almost certainly run its course unless FOX decides to buy them out.

I'd be shocked if FOX found anything else that matched the demo they get from SD tbh

Confound it! I want this whole concept of "WWF in the 80s using current day WWE booking" to be a thread now, but fuck if I'm making it. Too much like work.

"If you don't count the Olympics..." what the fuck?

Only thing Dave made me curious about was what #2 was with this heafty qualifier... I'd venture to guess (before I get around to possibly maybe looking it up) that it wasn't even tangentially sports related.

Well, that and how far down the list this stuff actually was since Olympic coverage is often ranked by sport instead of a nebulous "as a whole" metric. Like, did RAW come in behind Women's Street Skateboard finals and how many events showed up before we got there?

Wrestling fans are an odd sort, man. They don’t look for quality. They interact with the material they are allegedly fans of in ironic ways. The Hogan push doesn’t work in 2021. Not with kayfabe being as dead as it is now.

No one forced Vince to book it, but the story is that everyone in the match grouped together and really latched onto the idea of Ryder winning. Which makes them all idiots.

One of the best entrances ever. Onita was badass. ZERO fucks given and taking his sweet time even while being pelted with garbage.

There’s nothing intrinsic about being a wrestling fan that means you must also have this odd quirk.

What you’re talking about is a reaction to the product that has been presented. It’s a product that has turned off the common folk because it’s unwatchable as mainstream entertainment. It’s made a heel out of the company itself and fostered a hardcore audience made up of hate watching to make up for lack of quality.

The idea that some time in the early 2000s an entire fan base as a whole just snapped and became a badass hate watching machine as opposed to one old man changing the way business was done and fostering that reaction is some conspiracy theory shit.

If something is enjoyable, people will enjoy it. Whatever it is.

He's just cranky because he's not in the key demo.

badass hate watching is the 2021 badass submission machine.

Incredible

Randomly remembering Michael Cole using the word "Attitudinal" a lot...

I remember when he would say Big Show had 'Frying Pan Sized Hands'

Did you have to split up the entire imgur album tho.


There was 1 embeddable link

Embedded albums are janky. These are my favorite, homie. Could always "condense" them to a single post.

Vince with a beard would be funny, according to cornette he shaves a few times a day as he detests facial hair.
