    Sorry to hear it brother

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    I think there's a difference in reflecting fondly on a bygone era, pining for a suitable replacement to fill the void... and refusing to let go of the past and constantly shitting on things that don't fit your preference. That's the main distinction I'd make. I also think there are a lot of...

    Might not want to have to, but at the end of the day if no company out there is making a product that caters to you, then it's time to wake up and realize that the shit isn't for you anymore and you going online yapping about it isn't doing anyone any good. Hypothetical you, of course.

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    In general, people who complain that the product of a company isn't what they want it to be is dumb to me. Like, if you liked WWE from 97 to 02 then watch that shit. Or, find a company that reminds you of it, there's almost certainly something out there. But don't sit there and bitch because...

    AW316 sent that tweet with the smuggest of erections. Really thought he was making a statement with that one.

    That's the shit that nearly guarantees I'll never watch WWE weekly again. Especially Raw, with it being 3 hours. The stalling and filler shit is just completely out of control.

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    I am a fan of all varieties of wrestling, as long as it's compelling in some way. When I watch Atittude Era WWE or 2000s TNA, I really enjoy how the shows feel like... well, a TV show. The stories dominate and progress each week. Most of the time it's quite cheesy, but that's the nature of most...

    Practically anything that wasn't the main event of a PPV was usually gonna suck, match quality-wise, through a modern wrestling lens. I still find the shit entertaining though.

    Tbh they should have Punk on commentary at WrestleMania. Regardless of my position on him being a fraud, he can definitely do that job extremely well.

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    Again though, you can easily just look at post-Mania where Asuka was feuding with Carmella and James Ellsworth where she lost to Mella multiple times and was made to look quite dumb in the process, and that's already an example of worse booking than Asuka losing after 2 and a half years to the...

    It was 3, yes. I'd say it all worked out in the end

    Made for an extra sweet victory when Rhea beat her in Hollywood in one of the best matches of the year, more mature and undeniably ready to take the mantle, I'd say :cudi

    Shayna's vampiric angle was horrible. At least it happened during the onset of COVID where most shit from that time just gets swept under the rug now.

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    They wanted to add a "rebellious" layer to Becky and really lean into the Stone Cold comparisons by having her overcome Vince's obstacles and beat the "chosen one" that was Charlotte. All that's well and good in theory, but it really didn't play well at all. They botched it tbh.

    Are We Finishing the Story? The Cody/Rock/Roman Megathread

    Without a doubt they could have done it without Charlotte. Was adding Charlotte a catastrophic booking decision though? I absolutely don't think so :lol The best moment from the whole build was when Charlotte murked Ronda while she was in the back of the cop car. I think the way they introduced...

    You think adding Charlotte to the Mania 35 main event is up there as one of the worst booking decision of the century? Wasn't even one of the worst aspects of that whole program.
