Whatever you wanna talk about in regards to pro wrestling, let's go for it!

I think the "New Generation" era of WWF was not THAT bad. 1995 was pretty poor overall, but Bret Hart, Undertaker, Owen Hart, Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, Diesel, British Bulldog, Jeff Jarrett, Bam Bam Bigelow, Psycho Sid, Vader?!

Booking was bonkers especially in 1995.

Also, just putting it out there... as a Canadian, Bret Hart's program where he was like, Anti-American? That was fucking magnificent and I can speak to it from personal experience that Canadians fucking LOVED him despite his heel shenanigans at that time. XD

I wanted to became a Canadian because of that. In my room, I had a Canadian flag and even tried to pick up hockey.

I'm a big proponent of HHH being a B+ player. Some of my favorite wrestlers were not top tier so it's not to be a dick, just my opinion of HHH.

1995 King of the Ring was real bad man. And that led to a few months of bad stuff going on. >_>

Owen Hart and Eddie Guerrero were not overrated due to their early deaths. Both were A+ level workers, very over, and made their characters work for them.

Amen!!! I think that Owen was always handicapped by the fact he was the younger brother of Bret (who I think is the best wrestler ever with Kurt Angle), but he was amazing and made whatever they gave him work.

I guess age and perspective play a part, but I grew up watching WWF/WWE and never had any problem with the New Generation era (and I'm also a Canadian who was a big fan of Bret Hart). My issues with wrestling didn't start until partway through the Ruthless Agression era.

I did for a little while too. I don't remember exactly when I realized it was a performance but I remember being amazed even more at that revelation. How do you fake hitting someone in the face with a chair?

Ive watched/listened to more interviews and podcasts about wrestling more than I ever actually watched wrestling. I started in like 96 casually but got really into it by 98, then stopped in the early 00s. Some of my favorite gaming memories are of playing No Mercy and Smackdown vs Raw with friends.

I'm loving the HHH era, AEW has been great. I love wrestling regardless of the era. We can talk about current wrestling Veg.

Do you think Austin Theory will get to cash in or will he drop his MITB to someone ala Mr. Kennedy?

Now that's not a fair assessment of Triple H at all.

Triple H put over plenty of people in his prime. Cena. Batista. Orton. Benoit. Sheamus.

He ate more clean pins than Roddy Piper but Hotrod doesn't get nearly the same flack.

Plus there's all the stars he's made through NXT that are now making more money than they otherwise would've, whether it'd be in AEW or Raw or Smackdown.

Triple H has been a net good for the industry and it's a shame people still aren't recognizing it.

Oddly Bret hart is my favorite WCW united States champ. Shame I never saw him in his wwf heyday.

I know hogan is technically a shitty wrestler but he's my favorite. He's the only reason i started watching. Was flipping through channels and saw him fighting sting. I recognized him from a movie called surberbon commando I think. So with that I'm also more fond of his Hollywood persona.

I hated Goldberg growing up but once again despite being a shitty wrestler I like him now. I watched him from his start to damn near his end. Favorite theme song for a wrestler

Lastly I wish Bobby Lashley got the push Brock Lesnar did. Brock never entertained me and Lashley has a better physique.

HHH did what most at the top did, which is do what you can to stay near the top of the card. Beyond some very rare exceptions (like Eddie Guerrero), anyone who gets to the top wants to stay there. Not gonna hold that against him

HHH was perhaps my favorite heel.

Guerrero I loved for the fact he made himself a fan favorite for cheating. Like his gimmick was literally cheat 2 win and people loved it.

Nit really cheating imo but one of my favorite moments was him coming out of his boot to escape Kurt angles ankle lock. Reminded me of playing football in our back yard and my brother always wore boots. Someone caught him by his feet in a diving attempt at a tackle and he simply reached down untied his boot stepped out of it and kept running for a touchdown.

Thats what Alpha Males do.

They fuck.

Virgin Beta Males (CM Punk):
  • get taken advantage of.
  • Their wife cheats on them with Alpha.
  • End up raising the Alphas children.
  • Eat dirt and obey orders from Alpha.

I've been going through all the Royal Rumbles. I had never seen one before, but they are a blast!

I think my favorite moment, so far, is where Eddie, Benoit, and Holly are taking turns with Daniel Puder. They chopped the shit out of that boy!

I am conflicted about that moment. That was a receipt given to Puder for doing something wrong with Kurt Angle but it was pretty old school type mentality.

Royal Rumbles are great. Easily my favorite part of the WWE year.

2004 was the best Royal Rumble IMO.

2001, 2003, 2005, are also pretty great.

Because they don't fake hit each other, they just don't hit each other as hard as they make it look. Wrestling is scripted, not fake.

I knew wrestling was scripted after seeing Beyond the mat movie. I remember one part where Mick Foley talks about winning the WWF championship where he says he got a call from Vince telling him they were going to have him win the title and when he was going to lose it.
