"World Champ" chants for CHRISTIAN fucking CAGE

 

[Chris]

Shit is surreal

 

[Leon TrotSky]

This is the sort of main event we'd be getting if WWECW had continued

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Except in WWECW it would be shit

 

[Chris]

Actually that's a great shout

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Speaking of WWECW

 

[Chris]

Christian and a young young Zack Ryder had a crazy good ECW title match from that era

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Did you see Adam Blampied's rebooking of it

 

[Chris]

If it was on TV and the dudes could work then the matches were great tbh bc no one gave a fuck and just let them do whatever they wanted like 205 Live in 2018

 

[Chris]

But on PPV they had to tone it down bc it would outshine the other brands, just like 205 Live in 2018 lmao

 

[Chris]

I did not see that rebooking, nah

 

[Leon TrotSky]

It's very good

 

[Chris]

Sheamus and Goldust had a great series of matches in late 09 right before Sheamus left to be WWE Champion

 

[Chris]

That's like the most random short feud I love

 

[Leon TrotSky]

He basically asks "What if WWE followed what ECW actually was - a small promotion with a rabid fanbase and good wrestling and stipulations that aren't seen in the mainstream - and decided to make peak NXT a decade in advance?"
