The Mountie was kinda scary when I was younger. Not as scary as Bam Bam, Yoko, or Taker though.

That's not me being cheeky I just mean I don't remember Yoko that early on.

31

I really started watching in late 92 when I was 5 going on 6 (though I watched before that, just too young to take it all in)
|
Huh, I dunno why Yoko had no impact on me then. Papa Shango was the scariest man alive when I was a kid.

They presented Yoko as a motherfucker in 1992/93. I freaked out every time he did his "HASS! HASS! BONZAIII!" catchphrase in interviews. Also couldn't watch when he jumped Bret during the WM9 contract signing. Literally ran upstairs :'(
|
Contrast that with how I felt about Bret when he jobbed to Backlund and you have real emotional turmoil at a critical stage of youth.
This explains my psycho-sexual issues with older pale fishwives. |

Yep, me too. I came back for the duration of the Attitude era really. I had watched WCW a bit but Attitude and The Rock/Mankind got me back into wrestling I think. It may have been 97 rather than 98 but I missed at least three years.It's hard to remember when I saw everything, YouTube makes it seem like you were there.
|
It was the black blood he made Warrior bleed from his head that ruined it for me.
Around this time my father bought me a Judge Dredd comic which he then confiscated when he saw the content. Forever yearning... |
I got back into it when I saw Mankind and Undertaker fight in a Boiler Room Brawl and Paul Bearer turned on Taker.
Then I saw Bret/Austin at WM13 and was really hooked |

It may have been posted before, but fuck it. It is too amazing to not post again. Lanny Poffo would be WWE Champion if he was coming into his prime now. |

We have a couple of important things in common to do with our love of wrestling timeline-wise. I feel a bit more connected to you and the history now. The Mankind/Taker feud was something I saw a bit of in Canada and it helped me talk my dad into getting Sky(cable) TV. |
I always used to get my mate Keith Munro to tape it for me before Sky.
|
"Keith Munro" is a pseudonym my mate invented to blame things on and that I use to this day to fill in for names I forget...and other reasons.
Keith Munro cannot be trusted or well liked. |

They say they tried with him. I thought putting RVD into his program with Jack Swagger was a mistake. Just ride Cesaro's crowds reactions and let Cesaro outclass his former partner. I always thought Sheamus would have been a good opponent in Chicago (which is what they did), because Sheamus was a babyface (Cesaro was still a heel, just one with appeal to smart crowds) and you could have had Cesaro outclass him to a great pop. I was not really in on breaking up The Shield, so I think Money in the Bank should have gone to him. What happened was that the Triple Threat distracted from Cesaro, they had to put Sheamus over Cesaro because he won the US Title inexplicably, and Seth was getting MITB. So Cesaro, this apparent world class competitor, lost a lot of steam from the booking too. It didn't help that Heyman was clearly getting notes that changed the directions of his promos from "Cesaro is going to be the guy" to "Cesaro is going to be a guy" to "Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar, Brock Lesnar." Ass. So while there are clearly flaws with Cesaro's personality game, I don't think the booking helped him. They don't book to cover up weaknesses in WWE, and they don't book to fostered strengths either. As a result he has ended up valuable, but not someone that is easy to get enthused about. Of course, he will probably get a push in about 5 years randomly and after everyone has totally believed there was any chance of it happening. |

The thing with this shit is that people who are genuinely engaged with the product are probably going to ask this sort of question. "Is Nikki a Raw girl or a SmackDown girl?" Because on the surface, they actually believe the brands matter, because that is what they were told. So there are probably a bunch of earnest people out there genuinely confused as to what the fuck is going on and having that engagement challenged. It's bad television filled with continuity errors and loose ends that never go explained. They actively make this hard for anyone who honestly wants to give them a go. It might seem like a little thing, but shit like that matters. When you make rules, you need to follow them, or at least know how to break them. WWE does none of this. And they expect to win a fucking Emmy? |

According to the Observer, both Pentagon Jr and Fenix are now expected to not be leaving the indies for the WWE till at least 2020.
Before they were rumored to be bolting next year to the WWE but now it seems they are starting to book indie dates again for 2019 after previously being non-committal towards them. MLW already locked them up for all their 2019 events while the situation in Mexico is very much in their favor for staying. |

205 Live got bumped again from its time slot on the WWE Network.
Similar to last time, the new season of Mixed Match Challenge is taking 205 Live's regular spot but unlike last time, new episodes of 205 Live will now air before NXT on Wednesdays. Being rumored this might also be a permanent change and not just lasting till the end of MMC season 2. |

If it’s not going live they should record it before SmackDown to warm the crowd up, rather than having a burned out crowd post SDL

I finally got around to doing my now usual "Sunday Thing" of watching Raw & SmackDown from 2002.
I was supposed to be watching Judgement Day 2002 today but I didn't have time to watch Raw & SmackDown last Sunday so I watched them today instead and will watch Judgement Day on Saturday so I can be all caught up for next Sunday. There wasn't really much to point out or say about the two shows other than they were quite enjoyable. I noticed a big difference in the episode of Raw I watched where Booker T was announced at the new member of The nWo and what Raw is like now, in that in the episode of Raw I watched, the audience was always being given a reason to stay and watch, be it title defenses, appearances from big names or the main one, who the new member of The nWo would be. All the way through the show the audience were being teased with this reveal of who it could be and through the work of some good promos, that you could tell came straight from the minds of the wrestlers themselves, the audience at home were always being told to stay and watch the show. Now, the audience get nothing like this and the WWE's reason nearly every week to watch Raw these days is basically them saying "Hey guys, Roman Reigns is on the show tonight and he's going to beat up all the bad guys, sometimes all at once!". Raw doesn't even have regular title defenses/changes like they used to from around 2002. Anyway, before this evolves into a post I would usually reply to Noid with, the usual bullet points of random thoughts: Raw: • I'm actually quite surprised that Shawn Stasiak had the amount of TV appearances that he did. I've always remembered him being in the WWE and I've always actually kinda liked him, but I can't really remember him appearing on Raw the amount of times he actually did. This episode of Raw even show fans with Stasiak signs. Something that actually made me say "wow" to myself, as I couldn't remember seeing any Stasiak signs when I first watched Raw around that time as a kid. I liked his little crazy quirks he used to do, like his twitching/face pulling that he was doing during his backstage segment with Eddie Guerrero where Guerrero asked him if he's on drugs. It's the little things like that that I didn't really pick up on as a kid. I remember how he use to talk and I always liked that but it's the little things like the twitching/face pulling that really helped and added to the gimmick. • This Raw was the debut of the "A Day In The Life Of Tommy Dreamer" vignettes and those are vignettes I remember extremely vividly. I loved them and I still do. • It's probably because I was a kid at the time but I didn't realise how good Steven Richards looked back then. He looked to be in great shape and it's probably the best I've seen him look. • Finally from Raw, here's a random SpongeBob sighting from the show. https://i.postimg.cc/1tzhCzNz/rickbob_flairpants.png SmackDown: • Some random French-Canadian midget came bursting out of a cupboard brandishing a camera, only to tell Stacy Keibler that he was "here with Panasonic's new e-Wear AV Recorder". He kept emphasising the letter "E" and appeared and then disappeared yelling "EEEEEEEEEEEEE!" so I'm assuming he was a character from Panasonic's adverts for the device and that was his catchphrase or whatever? https://i.postimg.cc/Vv3xkBZS/midge.png That was obviously edited out when it was broadcast over here in the UK because it's an advertisement but I didn't know that something like that actually existed, so this was the first time I had ever seen it and I just watched it in complete bemusement. • There was an almost ten minutes of constant cheering for Hogan as he stood in the ring, which when it ended, Hogan called the crowd "awesome" and I think that if that happened today, the crowd would have broken out into a five minute "We Are Awesome" chant. • Finally, a sign during Rico's entrance that is one of many wrestling signs showing bad grammar: https://i.postimg.cc/MZV29gnV/image.png (Just like last time, it's the difference between "Your" and "You're" that these sign makers seem to have a problem with) |

It really is.
I'm still trying to figure out why the official poster has a tiny smiley face on Braun Strowman's right arm. |
It looks like it's not supposed to be there and if it isn't, then you would think they would have removed it.

Last time WWE had a questionable poster, it took them a while to catch on and edit it. That was with Great Balls of Fire and the jokes of the logo resembling a wiener and set of balls. TNA had a really shoddy poster for Lockdown one year where they did a terrible job getting rid of a cage render and don't think it was ever fixed. https://i1.wp.com/wrestlingonearth.c...kdown-2014.jpg |

Watching a 1983 MSG House Show tonight featuring the commentary duo of Vince McMahon and Gorilla Monsoon. They did commentary once before and it was Gorilla Monsoon making passive-aggressive remarks to Vince all night

An event by the name of Starrcade has just been announced for my hometown of Cincinnati on November 24th. Tickets are on sale on Friday. I hope it's a PPV.

Wasn’t it a big house show last year?
|
I didn't know they actually did one last year. The advertised matches are dual branded championship matches. Ric Flair is also supposed to be there. I dunno.

I'll just get tickets first and ask questions later like a good boy.

According to Tommy Dreamer, WWE is still in a pissed and petty mood due to All In's success.
He found out first hand after holding a show at a recent Keystone ComicCon event. Problem for him was WWE either didn't know or forgot about it and threatened convention officials they were going to pull all their talent from the convention if Dreamer was allowed to hold his show. They didn't go through with the threat and Dreamer mentioned the card for his event was nothing special nor did it have anything to do with WWE's presence at the convention. They pretty much tried to shut him down due to seeing the indies now as a direct threat out of an irrational fear. |

Watching Foley: 20 Years of Hell. Foley sounds weird. Is there something the matter with him?

That Asuka segment is appalling.
Stick a fork in her, she's done. |
So weird at how they ruined Asuka.... and I am the positive one who didn't mind her losing to Charlotte.
(I mean, I would have had Asuka win, but was ok with a loss too. Just everything after was not good.) |
