When did a business that started by wrestling bears and midgets and shit become the absolute most sacred and super serial athletic event on the planet?

For some reason fell into a hole reading about Hulk Hogan/Ric Flair/Sting in TNA, and it all just seems so surreal, from the convoluted stories, to the fact that they were still rassling (and main eventing) in 2011.

Would you count Foley in that category as well? He's pulled off more than 1 goofy gimmick and was majorly over as a heel and a face as well.

I guess I haven't been exposed to the goofy shit. I've seen some shit in NJPW, but that's Japan and the goofiness is just part of life there.
Eh, whatever. Still far and away better than a great deal of people I see get in the ring. |

And most of his comedy came towards the end of his career when he couldn't be a consistent main event talent. When it came time for him to main event his last couple of PPVs (as a full-time performer in 2000), he became SUPER SERIAL Cactus Jack. Who, for sure, had his moments of levity, but it wasn't like Mr. Socko era Mankind. Kenny Omega is almost the complete package, but some of Cornette's criticisms ring true (not all of them, though). |

Classic episodes of Superstars added to the Network. I guess I'll check out why Repo Man thought he was going to win the 1993 Royal Rumble.

Virgil just won with a Russian leg sweep that Vince McMahon described as "some sort of a neckbreaker maneuver".

If anyone asks you to watch a Crush promo, I suggest you politely decline.
Damien Demento, on the other hand...give it a spin. |

It may seem obnoxious how WWE always reminds us of what has JUST happened via replays and how they recap everything in every detail every week, but it's actually super helpful to get into old matches on the Network.

Public Enemy get a kicking, that Dominator at the end was inches from being a full face plant. |

It's a stiff beating but it's weird how cooperative PE is about getting the shit kicked out of them. I guess they didn't have a choice. If they tried to fight back or be difficult, the shitkicking would have been that much worse.

Acolytes did the same shitkicking to the Dudleys, but the Dudleys fought back. They ended up earning their respect, and Vince's. |

Joe Pedicino passed away today. One of those guys whose importance to wrestling was so understated.

Refs might still have "performers contracts". Hence why Mike Chioda had to be included in the Black Wednesday press release.
Kurt Angle was a road agent but had a performers contract which is why he got formally announced but none of the other agents were. |

Subscribed to F4Wonline today. Only $9 a month. Mainly to watch all the Bryan and Vinny Retro shows. I love hearing them review old 2000 WCW shows.

I'd take Kamille over Nia Jax any day of the week.
Not just because she is more traditionally attractive. The one match I (just) saw, she fucking gets it. Intensity, Power, Arrogance, Everything. |

Maria recently debunked stories of WWE paying for Mike Kanellis/Bennett's rehab while he was in the company. Turns out WWE didn't actually pay for it nor provided any real help besides not firing him while he was away.
