[Chris]

Same month I went to my one house show damn

 

[Hidden Blaze]

missed a chance to say Rock's Bottom.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I honestly feel this early Ruthless Aggression Era is underrated as fuck and really feels different from 2005-2008 Ruthless Aggression.

 

[Chris]

Man if Rock never went Hollywood I love his movies and I'm super happy for him but I just wonder what it woulda been like in WWE

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

THAT'S NOT THE UMBILICAL CORD

While not officially, WrestleMania 21 is my separating point for them with Batista/Cena winning belts. 04 with Eddie/Benoit didn't really feel like as big of a change to me, show's got way different after that, belts switched brands and all

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Tajiri is one of the most underrated wrestlers of all time, dude rules

If facts. Deserves so much more from WWE.

 

[Chris]

I I would rank 02-04 over 05-08 for sure

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

CAN YOU DIG IT

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

SUCKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[Kross Rhodes]

You can't even call that a squash despite how short it was bc it was pretty back and forth, solid shit.

These are the kind of quick filler matches I miss.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I hate I never got to go to a wrestling show back then.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

Boss Man doesn't stay with the company long in 02 does he? Shame

He’s done very shortly after the split.

Same it's like WWE forgot them, squashes are fine but they get boring after so long when there's guys in between midcard and enhancement talent that could benefit from them like Tajiri did that match

 

[Mitch Buchannon]

Oh yeah Jordan played there at the time
