The topic is dying.

I think we hotshotted it too much with all of the wrestling talk >_>

Speaking of, I watched Piper vs Hollywood Hogan at Starrcade '96, which was a stark reminder how shitty most wrestling is nowadays. They were doing a lot of pretty basic shit but it looked better than most things today. You have guys today who can do handless flips to get up to their feet yet they can't throw a believable-looking punch. Other than blatant cheating in front of the ref at times -- which the commentators both acknowledged and tried to excuse -- that was a fucking impressive match... relative to what I see nowadays.

Otherwise, I realized I haven't finished a few episodes of AEW Elevation... and I just noticed why. Some of these are fucking 2.5 hours long >_< Wtf! And there's often not as much that I'm skipping because it's featuring fewer wrestlers I refuse to watch (especially since I'll sometimes watch the Dork Order when they're in singles).

I'm also gradually coming around on the Acclaim's shitty diss tracks now that I realized the gimmick is that they're supposed to be terrible (like rhyming "hangman" with "hang, man" -_-). I had originally thought they were intended more tongue-in-cheek or light-hearted rather than designed to be bad, although they're not quite lousy enough to put these guys over as heels.
