WWE Raw

I thought Bronn was so much better when he was chasing the title. Once he got the title he just felt so boring on the mic.

Glad they gave Jey a championship. Excited to see his run.
 
Ronny and the Ring Announcer were the ones who groomed the ones under 18. That were trying to break into the industry setting up rings.
Pat hit on several talents Brickhouse Brown, Jim Powers, and another jobber that never quite made it. All of those talents that rebuffed him soon found themselves out of the WWF.
RVD is quoted as saying when he was first breaking in Brown set down a bunch of the younger talent and gave the 411.
Wasn't Phillips and Terry Garvin targeting kids from the youth centers as well that didn't have stability at home via Sandusky?

Completely different ballparks of inappropriate/criminal behavior between grooming kids and hitting on adults.

True, but hitting on adults and essentially firing them if they rebuffed you is still creepy AF. Even if it was the 80s/90s. As for Jim, JR, and Bruce they weren’t the ones standing in their underwear getting the pat downs.
Pat was still a predator just of adults.

If true then agree it's inappropriate, and wouldn't fly in today's landscape, but 87% of everything workplace pre the "MeToo" movement wouldn't either. Powers was in the WWF for a decade plus, and did get some minor pushes, just never caught on outside the tag-team with Roma, not sure Patterson was the whole issue there? Not calling Patterson a saint, don't know him from Adam, but generally with predators their is a consistant pattern, and I haven't heard proof that he fit that mold, and definatley shouldn't of been lumped in the with Ring-Boy stuff.

Pat is one of the greatest bookers of all time. Pretty much everything in the Mid 80’s WWE had his fingerprints all over it.
But doesn’t change the fact that he went after lower mid carders. Because he knew they had little or no power. Guys that are barely hanging on to earn a living. Who have given everything to make it in that business. Being taken advantage of. He’s not a kiddie diddler. But he’s still a predator. Similar to Vince and Johnny Ace with their Diva casting couch.

RAW again very fun, although the USO promo was rough...he not ready for that much promo time, this Braun/Bronson feud has been way more fun than I ever imagined it would or could be...each week they are a couple of 400 lbs spot monkeys...lol

Next week looks stacked with Gunther/Sammy and Shammus/Pete.

I can't wait for this to move to Netflix so they stop cutting the audio....

Rollins is back!

 
That's the first ppv in awhile that was kind of meh. The new bloodline doesn't do much for me. Crappy end to Liv-Rhea. Hell in a Cell was good but no way Punk was going to lose. Judgment Day looked like 3MB letting Priest beat them 3 on 1.
 
I just saw this. He took some bumps.
I like the fact WWE is bringing blood back when it makes sense, the gratuitus blading, I've never understood, (cough AEW) nor did I understand no blood war games or hell in the cell matches...that was the point of their creation.

We are in a good era of WWE.

For some reason it felt like for the positive action for the attitude era, there was an opposite, yet equal reaction where the pendulum really swung the other way for a while. It makes sense why fans that really gravitated toward the attitude era left in the early 2000s. Now they seem to be coming back again.
 
csb alert but ever since the McMahon doc, I've been watching old Raw/Superstars/PPVs. I haven't watched heavily since like 2001 but have been having an absolute blast watching the stuff I grew up with from the early 90's and on.

It is so. damn. funny. I completely forgot about Jimmy Del ray. Best dance ever




Ted Dibiase laugh.. IRS yelling at people for not paying taxes. Frickin Mable! So good lol

I think people get so caught up with the action "not being real" that they forget that the story lines are supposed to be wild/funny/ridiculous. There is stuff even in 2024 that is just so out there that it's funny.

Me and a few buddies were watching some newer old videos of Stone Cold fighting Booker T in a grocery store that was frickin hilarious. The stuff with Goldust was just nuts. So stupid but so hilarious and awesome

One of my favorites that I remember was the 123 Kid beating Razor Ramon. That shit was fantastic. Razor was the best

Was also watching one recently from like 1994 and it was funny to see a 21 year old Matt Hardy as a jobber getting has kicked by like Jeff Jarrett or something lol
