King Pitcos Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It's not like they're filled with compelling choices. There doesn't need to be a conspiracy behind Sheamus being champion -- whether Conor McGregor existed or not, if WWE had better top heel candidates right now they'd have gone with them.

Sphinx Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I said it before - Sheamus is a great heel in that no one cheers him, says he needs to be pushed or thinks he's cool. No one likes him. Say if Reigns were to win the belt off him, 'demwans' would be a lot more forgiving of him winning. They might even cheer for him. Â Having said that, I couldn't give a shit about WWE at the moment and Sheamus winning has done nothing to change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 If a world champion should be the best representative of the current product then it's a stroke of booking genius. Bland, forgettable, and only worth watching cos there's fuck all else to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pier Six Brawler Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Â I mean 1990 really, before everyone got Sky in 1992. I doubt the WWF was ever as popular as it was in 92 (and yes that includes the Attitude era).The WWF didnt tour in the UK till November 89. Those tours were sold out, although as far as im aware it was only The Docklands and NEC they went to. To say it was unpopular in 1990 is a strange thing to say, it was not unpopular it was on a gradual rise. I remember trying to get tickets to an NEC show in 1990 and it was sold out within a couple of days. 91 was another sellout UK tour with Bulldog V Quake headling the NIA. The best show i have seen live, featured Taker v Piper and Von Erich v Flair.Many people had Sky pre 92 as the ticket sales show. Â I went to the Sheffield Arena leg of that autumn '91 tour. I remember being excited to see Von Erich vs Flair as I knew that was a big matchup from the 80s, think I'd seen some of their old matches on WCCW on Lifestyle. I think I saw their last ever match together. Â Sky really started in 1989, at least the multi-channel setup started that year and it was heavily promoted. WWF was one of the main things people bought it for, that and the movie channels. It didn't REALLY take off until they got the Premier League from the 92/93 season (coincedentally 2 weeks before SummerSlam '92). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah they moved the PPV's over to Sky Sports from August '92 once Sky Sports became another premium channel.

Pier Six Brawler Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I don't know the terminology but 1989 was when Sky became more than just a single channel. When Sky News, Sky Movies started. I think before that you had to have a motorised dish to get satellite TV. Some areas had Sky Channel, Eurosport etc available on cable, but no-one I knew had that.

TildeGuy~!
