WWE Raw

To be serious: We know it's not real, and we know it's goofy, but for the most part the vibes are fun and the storylines are sometimes strange and out of pocket. It's like soap opera where if you miss episodes here and there it's easy to jump back in because the story lines aren't that deep.

It's part mindless entertainment, part nostalgia.
It’s one of the most unique forms of entertainment out there. A strange combination of crowd psychology, ballet, gymnastics, cinema, acting, and wrestling.
 
Apparently the crowd got a Cody Rhodes vs Jacob Fatu dark match last night.
We got a dark match for the IC title between Dolph & the Miz(accompanied by the spirit squad) the last Smackdown we went to years ago. My son was worried Dolph was gonna lose lol. I should try & find that episode - I bet it was terrible tv compared to what's happening now. James Ellsworth was all over the show, including the main event...

Wish I could still go to shows. Packed crowds drive my senses nuts. Last WWE show I went to was Taboo Tuesday. Randy Orton vs Flair in Steel Cage. Before that No Way Out when NWO came in. That card was packed. RVD vs Golddust, Angle vs HHH, Austin vs Jericho, Rock vs Taker, Regal vs Edge.
Still the highlight was the look on Nash’s face when Rock called him Big Daddy Bitch.

I grew up going to WWF in at the FIve Season's Center in CR, being a B or C town, I probably saw 10 or so house shows there, we didn't always get the best cards, but I did see Andre get arrested for going after the channel 9 camera guy after the Warrior squashed him. We did get a Wrestling Challenge taping that Hogan appeared on the Brother Love show, but didn't wrestle. I think my Jr or Sr year in HS the week of Christmas break we got the A card on an off night, it was Hogan/Bossman, Powers of Pain/Demolition and a couple of other good matches.

After college I attended a few RAW tapings during the Attitude Era in Ames and Des Moines (packed with Rock, Austion, DX, good times), but I haven't been to a live show since then. They were in CR a year or two ago and it was one of Roman's last house show before he went on a reduced TV only schedule, should of went to that one.

It was actually pretty interesting. They did nothing in order, probably wanted to get in the good matches first before people leave. They started with the main event (Bailey/Michin vs Nia/Tiffany) then did a bunch of midcard/promo stuff, then finished with the 6 team tag team qualifier where Street profits went off but ultimately lost to Jacob Fatu/Bloodline.

Just watched Wrestlemania 1998 and it was fantastic. It's all turning to complete awesome. Stone Cold is the most wonderful person on the planet. Rock is about to be the Rock. DX is just starting. So much nostalgia. Sable tits just getting going. Most fun rewatch of any show I've done before

Never cared for Sable. Didn't find anything interesting about her.

If I wanted Hotties I wanted them to at least earn their spots. Sunny, Medusa, Terri Runnels. Miss Elizabeth, Francine, Buellha, Trish Strautis , Lita all contributed to the acts while being hot as hell. Sable was kinda just there.

Sunny was great. Went down the wiki hole of her the other day and Holy hell she's had quite the life
 
Hate how they built up Andrade and Carmelo over 6 matches, then they let LA Knight come in and make it about himself.

Fans deserved better.
 
I'm currently on the 11/13/98 episode of Heat. This shit is so much fun.

Side note - I've decided a while ago bret hart was full of shit. I wanted to be on his side but I think he's full of it. Vince is a crazy person but I think im on his side

Right around summerslam 98, it really went full potato and is god damn hilarious. Stone cold and rock are the funniest people ever.

I rememeber not liking DX as a high schooler and Im happy to know i hate them even more now. The new age outlaws may be my least favorite wrestlers of all time

A few guys I loved that i forgot about: DLo, Edge, Gangrel, Val Venis

As I type this, val venis just mentioned he has a more dangerous bat that Sammy Sosa and Mark mcgwire

Also peacock edits out stuff.. I realized the other day they never play ICP when the oddities come out.

Sometimes predictable isn't bad. Hurt Business got done dirty by WWE.
I don't think Lashley ever got over to the level he was pushed since his return after Mania. Hurt Business was the best thing they did with him, but by then, they had more over guys to push to that level.

Having said that, I hope he suceeds in AEW, they could use a boost in interest from some new fans.
 
I've decided after heavy consideration that D'Lo Brown is my favorite

and I think he played football for Kirk at Maine
