This is from last month. Found some new stuff I didn't know. Cornette is the one that gave Vince the idea for the finish.

What a fucking shit show :ROTFLMAO:


I don't watch anymore, but I follow a bunch of channels that talk about how fucked WWE is. Undertaker looked so fucking disgusted at the end. Goldberg was always awful and can't do anything outside of spears and jackhammers. He ended Bret Hart's career and hurt a lot of other people since he's incompetent. I'm glad Jericho beat him up back stage.

Goldberg split his head open a few minutes in and got a concussion. Apparently the two got into a fight backstage after.

They both nearly fucking killed each other. Goldberg collapsed outside the ring afterwards. Taker need to hang 'em up already and Goldberg should never be let near a ring again.

What happened with Jericho and Goldberg? Was that during WCW?

So many in WCW said Goldberg was such a fucking mark for himself, that believed his winning streak. Nash ended his streak and so many believe he put it together himself after he became the booker, but he states he beat him before being booker. Who cares, his stupid winning streak got boring with the fans. I think Nash said they would boo Goldberg prior to his loss at events.

I miss the attitude era. Would they be able to get away with something like this today without outrage?

I've been watching old WCW videos over lunch break this week. Regardless of the character, how much of a beast ws Goldberg?! His physicality was unmatched.

It was unmatched because other wrestlers performed safely, unlike Goldberg. He caused genuine injures to people.

Goldberg was a big dumb asshole that hurt a lot of people. Ended Bret’s career with a head kick. I was glad to see his head busted open vs Undertaker. He deserves to be paralyzed.

He wasn’t a wrestler by trade so I’m not surprised he hurt so many people like Hart, Steiner, etc. His match with the Undertaker highlighted exactly why he was tough to work with. I admired this intensity though.

AEW may have me decide to start watching a weekly wrestling show again. WWE is trash. Only good thing they have going to Bray Wyatt.

I tried watching newer stuff here and there and just couldn't get into it. They don't even attempt kayfabe.

I do like watching the OSW reviews of the classic WWF ppv on youtube.

They keep selling out like crazy, their pay per view aren't loaded with commercials and that one fight with illegal chair nearly killed Cody Rhodes.

Yeah that chair shot was notorious. Dudes need to be more careful if they want to be long-term. AEW seems kind of like a mix between ECW, OVW, and New Japan

While I haven't watched any AEW, I've been following stories around it and I truly think they have the potential to put WWE out of business. WWE is barely getting by and now have a deal with Fox for Smackdown on Friday nights. What started killing WWF and WCW was spreading themselves thin with two shows a week, more so with Thunder.

WWE has half filled venues at best nowadays and they film the ring tight to not show the empty seats.

The WCW used to destroy WWF in ratings before Austin took them to new heights. Current WWE is just embarrassing.

Looking back I can't believe how badly they botched the invasion storyline and wasted most of the WCW talent. Having too many wrestlers spread thin is never a good thing.

WCW was mostly shitty when I look back on it, but it's strengths were enough to put WWF against the ropes. The main contributor for killing the company was Starrcade when Hogan didn't want to lose cleanly to Sting. After that, it went into decline. The NWO vs The Wolfpac was a great angle... and they didn't even do anything with it.

I stopped watching in the very early 2000s, I don't even think I saw the WCW guys in there yet. But I know enough about it that they didn't do shit with them. Sting waited way too fucking long to jump over. Booker T was the only one they really did anything good for their career in there. I guess since Vince really didn't have any Black talent on the roster that anyone gave a shit about so he gave him a push, plus he was a fan favorite.

I actually enjoyed watching AEW last week. Reminded me more of early WWF/WCW. Really liked the energy and the lack of individual egos. Will watch again tomorrow.

I saw they were streaming just now and had no fucking clue Tony Schiavone apart of it. I know JR got into it, and JR involved with anything immediately makes it a better product.
