It's been 20 years and we haven't shut up about that period. It'll be a good while yet. It's an insane moment. Both from the POV of the great reaction which is incredibly good and the booking decision which is absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to forget just how hot wrestling was at the time. I'll never forget it. The world was completely different to before and now. Everyone was into it. It wasn't a niche interest you hid any more. The merch was everywhere, the wrestlers were on proper TV like proper stars, it was worth getting excited about.

Merzbow Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I have distinct memories of MVC having racks of WCW shirts around that time, I still wish I bought the Wolfpac one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy Murphy's been quietly turning into one of the highlights of WWE the past few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Kat Von D Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Stupidity Disclaimer: in my defence I am slightly drunk. I thought Extreme Rules was tonight, I saw it was listed at 1am on the network and put it on. It took me 45 minutes to realise I was watching 2017, not 2018. Opening match was Dean Ambrose and The Miz. My only thought during the match was that I hadn’t noticed Ambrose was back or that he had won the Intercontinental Title. Miz was obviously now part of Raw as well. However other than that, fuck all had really changed. I don’t trust WWE to make any of these events mean anything so I genuinely thought it was possible that I had just missed this. Wasnt until half way through a Rich Swann match that it clicked what was going on. I’ve seen people say they can go a whole month and not miss much, I just went a whole year and didn’t miss much. I watched this show last year and it was apparently so forgetful that I didn’t even notice I was watching it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Dem Wanz Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) Put on a random PPV this afternoon, and the pop for the Headbangers winning the tag titles at Ground Zero 97 is absolutely massive! Dunno why they went to the concessions stand with a crowd of people afterwards and gave them crisps though.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted July 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2018 Anything more annoying than Jim Ross saying "Rikishi"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted July 17, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 17, 2018 Just going to throw this in here since not exactly sure where best to put it: I was in Norfolk yesterday and today in a town called Sheringham and read Crazy Like a Fox in about 8 hours. More than likely anyone on here who was going to buy or read it will have done so already, but it's great. Really fantastic. I highly recommend it to anyone who has yet to read it. Question for Liam: do you get paid if I rent the book using my Prime subscription or only if I buy a copy outright? @Liam O'Rourke  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
