Revisionist History surrounding Chris Kreski

[Smart Marx]

Austin’s heel turn both when he was with Triple H and when he was being Vince’s best friend, all great stuff.

They just didn’t have enough top tier babyfaces.

Kreski didn't write any episodes of Young Rock.....Gerwirtz wins.

01 Austin was on another level, some of my absolute favorite matches of his happened that year despite being "broken down"

If he was broken down, I didn’t see any evidence for. He must have put his all into the gas tank, said fuck it.

His matches with Angle alone I’d put up to anyone.

Honestly quality wise 1999 was a far more consistent year to me than 2000. Although they were both great years, I think 1999 beats it especially when it comes to the weekly shows. And that could very well be because I'm a big fan of Russos work.

I think Raw was better weekly in '99 but I enjoyed the PPVs more in 2000.

I wish we could get a product with the matches of today because I do love to see great matches, mixed with the great storytelling of the late 90s early 2000s. That to me would be my perfect wrestling product. Rather it would draw or not, doesn't matter to me at all. I just want to enjoy it and that would make shit enjoyable for me.

So agree with this I think when it comes to like peak Peak attitude era I think 1999 is it that’s when you get everything you want out of that era. I am one of the few people that also prefers 2001 to 2000. Not that the entire three-year period isn’t just perfection though.

I can very much agree with this. Russo’s one thing that he didn’t really get was pay-per-view but not that he never made a good pay-per-view because I still stand by that Fully Loaded 1999 being pure perfection.

Today’s matches suck. They make the hardcore division from the attitude era look like a Nolan film in comparison.

One of the main problems is today’s in ring, there’s no selling and only flips. Smaller guys shouldn’t beat bigger guys either, that has to go.

That’s your opinion, and I’ll respect it as we can’t always all agree on everything. But I enjoy them. Maybe not all of them but they are plenty I do enjoy.

No it’s a concrete fact. Only a niche fanatic base likes today’s matches, the real world doesn’t. That’s why most watch classic matches, and have watched the older matches because they drew more.

Today’s matches don’t draw, they objectively suck.

I see you added more, so let me reply then.

Size shouldn’t ALWAYS matter, sometimes sure. People like Marko Stunt just needs to go away. But if bigger guys always should win, people like Big Show and Khali would always win, and that wouldn’t be good. I say that as someone who likes Big Show. Sometimes you can outsmart your opponent to win, even if you are smaller than them. It doesn’t always have to be big strong guy beating small strong guy. But again, we see things differently. Neither of us are right as it’s a opinions. You’re free to have yours and I’m free to have mine.

Again, still opinion. Ratings don’t mean something is BETTER, it means more people like it. More people liking doesn’t make something better either. They are plenty of popular shows and movies I don’t like, so to me those aren’t better than things I do like. No matter if people enjoy the other stuff more.

Big Show and Khali are giants who could barely move against normal big muscular guys, not small midgets compared to normally big muscular guys.

Apples to oranges.

And it’s not an opinion, a guy like Cody Rhodes or Kenny Omega are not beating a guy like The Rock or Kurt Angle, they’re far bigger than him.
