Wrestling Thread 8: Follow The Buzzards • Page 1649

About the same for me. The 2015 Rumble being so bad it trended on twitter is what got me back into it...and WM31 is sorta what got me to continue following (though really it was KO and NXT that hooked me)

 

WWE Network is what got me back into wrestling. It finally became affordable to watch the product even if it still had issues. Shortly after that NXT, ROH/NJPW helped fill the void that was left when TNA started sucking during the Hogan era.

Looking back the product the last 2-3 years is probably the best it’s ever been. Even when WWF/WCW were hot, a lot of the shows were not great. WWF would have a great top 2-3 matches with tons of filler that was bad during the attitude era while WCW had a great mid card with an awful main event scene. I feel like both AEW and WWE have been booked way better top-bottom than either WWF/WCW were during the 96-98.

 

Hoodie Mortos is a fucking look

 

Megan Bayne eating babies is AEW canon now

 

That camera angle for Penelope's kick was picture goddamn perfect!

 

Athena time finally!

 

Oh shit. Aminata injured. Billie vs Jamie is the main event.

 

Yuta's new entrance is pretty good.

 

Random match I saw on Reddit. From a technical level this is so so good especially in terms of moves per minute. but of course wcw didn't cash in on that and it was done in under five minutes. Morons.

 

I’m gonna be mad if Athena loses her title to Mercedes of all people lol

 

Holy shit this is beautiful hahahahaha.

 

HJH

 

I mean looking back at the 90’s in WWF/WCW outside of the big stars the rosters were nothing special. The talent pool today is insane

 

CM Punk getting back into the buisness is what truly got me back into watching. I was mainly just a casual watcher after he left. Him returning on Collision and than coming back to WWE really made me fall in love again.

 

lol I met Minoru Suzuki at his store today

 

they also have the smackdown before and the raw after mania to spread out some of the multi man matches. just give the entire roster the 'mania bonus' if that's still a thing.

 

Cena Cody went hard in the RAW opener

 

Yeah, Cody/Cena promo was fantastic. Great back and forth.

 

"Dont act like you left WWE better than you found it" is a great, great line

 

Yeah, this Jimmy beatdown is perfect

 

Feud needed that segment for sure
