>worked a stupid carnie to pay him millions of dollars a year just to show up 4 times in a year and perform for 10 minutes each match
how did he do it?

>push John Cena for 10 years as a baby face despite him being hated and booed and falling rating
>convince yourself cena was a success
>try to make cena 2.0 with Roman reigns
This is what happens when you are successful despite yourself
>>2906047
Is this what an actual internet smark believes? That Cena didn't rake in millions for the WWE? WTF is wrong with you stupid idiots?
>Reigns isn't a huge success with the actual demogrographic that this children's show is aiming for
I'm actually ashamed of myself for even responding to this b8.

Mick Foley winning the title won the night and turned the MNW in WWE's favour
Kevin Nash winning the title killed WCW

Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan killed WCW.

Goldberg was WCW champion when Nitro started losing to RAW. The last rating battle Nitro won 10/21/1998. Bischoff rubber stamped Nash beating Goldberg because Nitro had lost to RAW 9 weeks in a row with Goldberg as WCW Champion.
Kevin Nash winning the title killed WCW
>Starrcade 98 drew a 1.15 PPV buyrate (450,000 buys). It was the 3rd best buyrate in WCW history.
>Starrcade 98 also drew a sellout of 16,066 paying $584,236 and another $114,120 in merchandise. It was the largest gate for a WCW PPV event in history and fourth largest ever for the company.
>Nitro in Baltimore on 12/28 drew a SELLOUT 13,358 (11,233 paying $263,315).
>Nash's first Nitro as WCW Champion drew a 4.6 rating up from 4.0 the prior week.
>WCW on 12/29 at Nassau Coliseum drew 12,323 paying $398,990 headlined by Nash vs. Goldberg vs. Giant. It was the largest gate for a WCW house show in history.
>WCW on 12/30 in Philadelphia at the Spectrum drew 17,196 paying $286,838 (about 800 shy of capacity) headlined by Nash vs. Goldberg. It was the 2nd largest attended house show in the history of the company.
>Nitro at Georgia Dome on 1/4 drew 38,809 (34,788 paid) paying $930,735. It was the 2nd biggest crowd & gate in WCW history.
>Nash's second Nitro as WCW Champion drew a 5.0 rating up from 4.6 the prior week.
After Nash lost the title to Hogan, although they were losing to WWF in ratings, their ratings and business still went up e.g. Hogan vs. Flair did basically the same amount of PPV buys at SuperBrawl as the supposed hottest feud in wrestling: Austin vs. McMahon.

How come these two never had an official match against each other but Lesnar and Taker had several?
Cause Kane was never really on Lesnars level in kayfabe
he was upper mid card at best for most of his career, guess Kane was happy with that
>>2905926
The same reason we never saw Goldberg v Taker but saw Kane v Goldberg several times.
>>2905930
>Cause Kane was never really on Lesnars level in kayfabe
97-03 Kane was.
JUST
When I was a kid in the late 90s playing with my wrestling figures, I couldn't imagine how much better the faces would get when I became an adult. I was hearing so much about this new face scanner technology that they would be using.
Welp...
>>2905910
C'mon, man. That's a pretty good Rikishi figure.
did you ever meet a welrestler IRL
I patted Bray Wyatt on the back from the second row at a live show when he leaned back against the barricade. Dude was sweaty as shit and my hand was soaked and all sticky. I went home afterwards and masturbated furiously with that hand.
>>2905728
Jesus they all look like they hate that nigga wtf
>>2905734
They are just wanting to catch their flight and fucking autistic retards harass them for pictures. You would be annoyed too brother
He will main event 3 manias in a row
Nigga he already has

>He will get booed out of the building 4 Wrestlemania main events in a row while being perceived as a babyface
Who is the Jannetty Royal Rumble winner?
Both Duggan and Big John Studd won it when it wasn't very established yet , so I would say Luger.
>>2905647
Any time the winner never main evented Wrestlemania like Orton this year. He was supposed to main event the event but he performed on the mid card
>>2905647
As far as the "get a title shot" era goes?
This question begins and ends with ADR
>>2905647
ADR
>The Wyatt Family are the biggest waste of potential ever
Sounds accurate
Agreed
>>2905646
They would've been over back in the 80s or even 90s
Harper made it to TV, the stale tag division felt renewed, Randy wasn't boring or a face, and Wyatt won a title before WWE fucked it all up.
This picture is a good case for one of the shows to change their tag division into a Trios division desu
>>2905571
kys. Letting Randy into their stable was dumb as fuck. It lead to the WOAT WrestleMania match ever, and it was obvious Randy was just fucking with Bray and he fell for it like a chump.
Luke was right not to trust Orton, but got no payoff from it. Still, they made American Alpha look GOAT for like 2 weeks though so that was nice I guess.
>>2905603
I think he's saying the stable was good and they shouldn't have broken it up with
>if you can't beat 'em screw 'em
Who?
>>2905425
Why is Perry referring to himself in the third person?
Literally who?
Anyone else miss all the flashes from digital cameras that would come from the crowd during a high flying maneuver back in the day?
It really made moments like Benoit's headbutt or RVD's frog splash extra special. Now when Neville does a Red Arrow, there are no flashes. I feel like this kind of limits and diminishes the "impact" of these moves. Everyone has a smartphone now and there are never any flashes that come from them.
Just kind of sad, tbqhfam.
>>2905403
Examples.
Benoit Headbutt. Overwhelming flashes.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl8RDZUhwyE
Red Arrow. A few flashes... nothing special.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zOxZ7NIgy4
>>2905403
Smartphones have flashes you troglodyte
>>2905412
Refer to my examples. No one uses the flash. Watch any PPV. You never see flashes.
Any news on Sunny. Last I read she was in hospital from a fall.
shes old and ugly but i wanna fug her so fucking badly
Has this bitch ever done anal on camera?
ugh i wanna suck on her tits so badly
Why did she never go to WWE?
cause a fat bitch sat on her
>>2905365
She did, and that idiot Ross didn't see the appeal.
I don't know but she was one of the best things about Impact back when it was good.
remember when hulk hogan wrestled weekly as a midcarder on wwe's b-show?

That's what happens when you don't draw dimes no more, you get sent to the 2000's equivalent of NXT
>>2905372
Hogan still had dimes in him as he proved in 2005 Summerslam
WWE just used him wrong, he should have been main eventing
