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

[Hoss]

I'll watch any 1999 Raw any day of the week

 

[Smart Marx]

Hoss is my spirit animal. I can throw on any 1999 show and be thoroughly entertained.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I watched it live, I'm happy to leave it in the past

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I had to sit through the Terri Runnels miscarriage angle and the Mark Henry is transphobic angle.

No thanks.

 

[Smart Marx]

You can always skip those episodes. The vast majority of those shows were awesome.

I actually don’t mind the miscarriage thing if there was a better payoff, but there wasn’t. It lead to PMS lol

 

[Comrade Khan]

I can watch all my favorite moments on youtube like Vince getting smoked by a bedpan

And that's the key difference between you and me.

I wanna watch wrestling, not Jerry Springer daytime soap opera trash tv.

 

[Hoss]

Every one of us is free to watch and enjoy what we please

Royal Rumble 2008, John Cena's surprise return, everyone, and I mean, everyone, to a man, cheered for that motherfucker.

For 30 seconds til the shoulder tackles started

damn right

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

They cheered that motherfucker when he won, have you watched recently?

 

[Cwalker]

The no good part timer was the one that made me realize that the Attitude Era wasn’t as great as we think it was; at least from a wrestling perspective

 

[Smart Marx]

And that's the key difference between you and me.

For me wrestling is storytelling. Give me a good story to entertain me. The wrestling is the avenue to that. Wrestling without entertainment is ok occasionally but I don’t only want wrestling.

Which is why I loved the old school PPV model. The tv shows had more segments than wrestling and then the PPV was where you had the longer matches.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it but I remember him getting a huge pop when his music hits and getting boo’d when he slides in the ring and starts the 5 moves of doom

 

[Comrade Khan]

yeah the wrestling was absolute trash and the comedy has aged poorly, that's my main reasoning for not going back to watch it. I have good memories of enjoying it as a kid, and I feel like rewatching it will shit on those memories. That being said even as a kid I was always annoyed everything took so god damn long and nothing was moving forward. RAW was like this for like 20 years i feel lol
