WWE Raw July 8th, 2002/WWE SmackDown! July 11th, 2002 Watch Along

[Santa Hoss]

Nash shoulda just watched his step

 

[Tremendez]

I can confirm he was in a 6-man at Backlash bc I reviewed it for my thread

He was. Stems from Nash trying to get Triple H and Shawn back together and Trips turns on Nash. It's actually kind of a reboot to this angle here as it's Nash and HBK vs Triple H. Just without the nWo association and Trips is the heel and not the babyface.

 

[Chris]

RIP NWO tho

 

[Santa Hoss]

I watched the match a week or two ago

 

[Santa Hoss]

Was it Nash, Michaels and Booker vs. Triple H, Ric Flair and Jericho?

 

[Tremendez]

The Nash, Shawn and Trips run in 2003 is better than I remembered it. I watched it last year. I do feel they saved some of the ideas for this angle here in 2002 and re did it in 2003 with the Triple H as the bad guy and the nWo as the good guys.

 

[Tremendez]

Was it Nash, Michaels and Booker vs. Triple H, Ric Flair and Jericho?

It was Jericho was loosely helping Triple H at the time. And helped him retain the belt against Book in a 19 rematch. That sees Flair and Michaels get involved and Nash return from this injury as he tried to stay friends with both Michaels and Triple H.

 

[Chris]

Yeah I didn't mind it at all

 

[Tremendez]

I actually like 2003 more than most hence why I wouldn't be against it winning the next poll.

 

[Santa Hoss]

Can't really go wrong with anything 1998 through 2005 in WWE imo

 

[Chris]

I wouldn't mind 03 at all, I mostly just wanna do Monday Night War Era stuff for the diversity lol

 

[Chris]

But I will digress to the poll bc I really don't have much of a preference.

 

[Chris]

98-05 is probably the sweetspot

 

[Santa Hoss]

And honestly I'm not the harshest critic so I would prolly say 1997 as well, and maybe all the way up through like 2008 or 2009 before it starts to fall off badly

 

[Tremendez]

Agreed. 2003 mostly cuz it would continue from here, and I like continuity, but yeah WWF, ECW and WCW would be the ultimate.
