On the one hand, we really shouldn't give Cass shit for his weight. It's uncool to do-- they guy lost his girlfriend and dream job, and plus, I myself am slowly morphing into Haystacks Calhoun, so I'd be a huge hypocrite. On the other hand, I've been laughing for like 45 minutes because fuck that guy

Every Survivor Series logo has sucked since they changed it in 1999

Stone Cold, Glacier, Ice Train, and ECWs Chilly Willy vs. Harlem Heat, Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert, and uh... I dunno I guess Kane. They're managed by the hottest Nitro girl, Fyre, of course* *Not in that sense. That would be Spice.

Big Show, Big E, Big Bossman, Big Van Vader, and Big John Studd wouldve been a helluva team.

"Moving on from the penis,"

I hope the Ryback sees that and comes back with a George Glass weight belt or something Edit: I can't believe I started a new page w this trash post

I live for these. I have some awesome ones from last year's game I have to share soon but they're on someone else's x box. Does anyone here know how to get rid of the nameplates on certain belts in create a championship? I feel like you used to be able to but I can't figure it out at all. I want to make a set of Cruiserweight tag titles based on the old WCW cruiser belt but that f'ing thing is right there in the middle of it.

I was unaware of that. Maybe building to a Shane/Angle II match at Survivor Series?

I'm actually looking at the Shane thing a little differently. I think WWE was aware of the negative mainstream attention surrounding this whole thing and didn't want John Oliver or MSNBC running footage of one of the boys celebrating with a giant trophy in SA, so Shane jumped on the grenade (or was tossed on it) being part of the family and all

Dude this honestly looks like a MadLib or something. I wanna hear everything about this

I made my guy in 2k19 a spooky dirty wifebeater wearing guy in a Vader mask and now I might try to go to wrestling school again. I'm also 30, super out of shape and im pretty sure I'm having a manic episode so this idea will be forgotten shortly

Maybe I overrate it a bit because I'm a Foley guy but for me the original Boiler Room Brawl is my personal favorite of these kinds of matches. The House of Horrors with Orton/Bray also gets a nod for it's unintentional comedy value. The same argument could be made for that crazy junkyard match at WCW BATB 99, but that's more of a "lol WCW spent how much?" kind of thing than any intrinsic value to the match. A more recent one I enjoyed was Chuck Taylor vs. ZSJ in a bar somewhere in I think Brooklyn, but I guess that was more of an ironic, art installation comedy kind of thing, but I had fun watching it and there were some pretty creative spots.

I think you're right. JBL's reign seemed so much longer at the time

I'm out on anything with Chucky unless it's got Rick Steiner involved

Not only was this top to bottom a great show with lots of great ringwork, but I have to echo what a lot of others are saying about the production aspect-- much more NXT like with the lighting etc. and I really liked the unique stage. Even though it was only three damn giant screens mashed together, it was still much more aesthetically pleasing to me than the one normally used, and helped the show seem like something different and special. Funny to see people elsewhere who usually bitch about it writing about how it felt like just a house show and WWE must view the women as lesser because they "didn't even bother" to bring the big Raw/SD set.

Mister, you take your gay porn and get out of here

Does anyone know of any sites that sell these kinds of things? I have a lot of old concert posters like this in my house and something like this would really appeal to me I remember seeing all those Marvel trademark notices on all the old video games and toys etc. Speaking of toys, this randomly popped into my head reading your post: remember the WCW toys that were actually labeled "The baddest of the bad: heels" and I forget what the other tagline was, but they were labeled babyfaces? Real dumb. I actually remember "Vic Venom" writing something in RAW magazine about how stupid this was too. I'm 30 so this would've been mid to late 90s

Oh yeah I kinda forgot about that. I was thinking more along the lines of having the crowd vote on like, one of three guys to challenge whoever. Actually, what about reinstating the Hardcore title as a house show only thing? Not full blown death matches but just a normal match with a couple relatively safe trash can shots or something. It could have the express purpose of changing hands 3 times a night or whatever. Put it on some local sports team mascot and hope it makes the local news or something

I would make at least a couple matches on every show an interactive experience ala Taboo Tuesday/Cyber Sunday. Have your ring announcer remind the crowd right after the opener to vote on what the main event should be or what stipulation it would be using #WWECityname" Change the advertising so instead of the card, you just get a list of guys you'll see. Maybe a free Network trial with your purchase of a ticket (at the very least it would artificially inflate subscriber numbers for the stock marks). Sort of how Metallica gave their last album away w the purchase of a ticket to their concert and it keeps going back to #1 after being out for like two years because it counts as an album sold. Sure most of em probably already have it, but for the casual "oh wrestlings in town?" types, you might get a couple to stick with it. Couldn't hurt. Gotta have the occasional undercard title change. I went to one over the summer and people were actually convinced Murphy was going to beat Cedric for the Cruiserweight title. So where's the harm in it? They film every show anyway right? So just show the finish and maybe a couple highlights on TV and remind people that "anything can happen at one of our live events!" Another possibility would be airing them on the Network. I guess someone raised this as a possibility with the forthcoming tiered system. Sure, it's a little business exposing since it's the same show every night, but collectively I think we're probably past that. Actually, to tie this in w the Network subscription idea, maybe your voucher comes with an option to access only the show you went to once it's been uploaded. So you watch it a month later, reminisce on what a good time it was, and maybe you stick around. Discounted merchandise! Get your tickets before such and such a date, and we'll give you X% off at the gimmick table There are so many cheesy dumb ideas you could rip from minor league parks. A dizzy bat race between two kids in the audience in the context of a house show makes no sense, but if it's two guitars and suddenly Elias is running it... Actually, speaking of which, instead of the same boring radio promos which are the same in every single market, why not have Elias (or really, when he returns, Kevin Owens would be great for this) do the VO for the radio ads? "I can't believe WWE is going to be in Chicago on June 14th. Not only do I have to be surrounded by these deep dish eating morons, they're going to make me fight Braun Strowman in the main event. I mean, come on, how unfair is that?!" A VIP package for some insanely high price where your kid can walk down the aisle to their own music before the show. Probably some insurance issues with that. Maybe a better idea is to just do a drawing and upgrade their seats, or let them sit in front of the barricade near JoJo and the timekeeper. I dunno I got loads of these

Just a heads up to anyone like me who needs to catch up, I read Lucha Underground isnt gonna be on Netflix anymore

Sorry about your grandfather man Hopefully it was caught early enough, I'm hoping Roman gets checked regularly already since he had it once. I feel really bad for him

Sorry about your aunt man

If Bortles ends up anywhere near this thing, I'll protest outside every show with God Hates Jags signs

It sounds cool, but let's wait and see how much money this guy is willing to lose the first couple years. Everyone thinks it sounds great because the guys a billionaire, but we've heard this story before with Panda Energy, Sinclair, etc. Plus who knows if this is even true??

"Evolution is a mystery" was right there man
