Why did such a simple and just silly gimmick end up working so well? Go back and watch video of Too Cool they get some of the loudest pops of the attitude era.
[spoiler]Admit it, they were fun as hell to watch. The Royal Rumble spot is still fantastic.

You mean when bases 'kish threw both of them out of the ring?
Scotty 2 hotty and the other guy were over

>>2253206
None of them were over only the worm was
Is he our guy?
is he the only face Graves marks the fuck out for?
/asp/ doesn't like shoot fighters, they prefer fake tough guys who need body armor.

He was super-into Nakamura + American Alpha back on NXT.
Is always being prepared for bad weather his gimmick?
>Rami Sebei wrestles under the name Sami Zayn in the WWE. He is one of the company's biggest stars, and he is also a Syrian Muslim who speaks Arabic fluently. Perhaps in another time and place, Sebei's background would force him to be a villainous character paired up against an American hero, causing thousands of fans in arenas across the country to boo him and chant, "U-S-A!"
>But times have certainly changed. Sebei, who was born and raised in Montreal, essentially plays a caricature version of himself in the ring, without allowing his race, religion or outside stereotypes define him in the eyes of others.
>While Sebei doesn't portray a Middle Eastern stereotype in the WWE, he's been unafraid to share his feelings on President Donald Trump's efforts to temporarily ban travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations -- including Syria, where his parents immigrated from.

>>2248224

let's be honest for a moment here /esg/: the L.A. Boys documentary is definitely an attempt by Nike to influence the view of history of future generations. The "L.A. Boys" part in Ban This wasn't a "pivotal"point. Mike's part in Public Domain was the pivotal point.
And now, through this "documentary" they are trying to hype up the part and erase Mike Vallely's significance.
>>2214318
yes they have slowed down a bit, mostly because of a major flamer who goes around /asp/.
Your idea sounds good and I would like to try and see if we could pull it through, although I don't have a camera.
oops, the other shitter actually posted terry's playlist. Haha, shit, here it is.

Daily Reminder that if you are on /asp/, you are a smark. Whether you like Roman, like Undertaker, think Hogan is the Goat, liks flippy shit and manlets, watch WWE or any other wrestling promotion you are a smark by definition.

th-thanks you too :)
>Smark
>Smart mark
>Mark
key word, the """"""""smart""""""""" marks are people who get upset and start yelling when someone they like is scripted to lose on a scripted fake fighting children tv show. Makes them bigger marks than pajeets, because they know it's all fake too
Not really
>matches like this used to be a regular main event on raw
what went wrong?
>>2257327
I'd love to see Hulkster, Nashster, Hallster, Rockster and Stoner back in action again.
Wrestling became an obsolete entertainment medium
Not one(1) dime was drawn between all five(5) of them
I was never a big Complaining Machine Phil fan but it's been more than five years and I still don't get the logic behind this. Why did HHH go over? Why did HHH and Nash have a match instead of Punk and Nash? This has to be the worst HHH "burial". At least you can justify WM19 by saying Booker was never really a top guy, this shit was inexcusable
>>2257128
>Booker was never really a top guy
You can arguably say HHH was never really a top guy. Had he not weaseled his way he would have only see 1 or 2 title runs and sent to job or midcard him. The fact of the matter is that he isn't the REAL GAME
>>2257128
>this was worse than X9
hi phil
>>2257128
>Why did HHH and Nash have a match
You see it's WCW vs WWE right? And Nash is a big guy and he and Trips are buddies, and HHH jobbed to Cena a bunch and NEEDED his win back.
If I had unlimited resources and could create a new wrassling company:

>>2256448
thanks for the suggestion anon
Sounds like something Vince would have booked on a coke binge in his head.
BLACKED
>>2256331
based uhaa dipping into that gene pool
>>2256331
They're a modern kliq of no draws. How do you think these monkeys got one chance at a title?
>>2256331
That's hot
Why are modern WWE fans such cucks?
Remember when Goldberg faced Brock at WM20 and both were booed out of the arena? They were booed because they both showed they didn't give two shits about wrestling or the fans.
Now they're going to be in the main event of WM33 and both now display even more contempt and apathy for pro wrestling and the fans. But people lap that shit up. People will fucking chant 'GOLDBERG GOLDBERG' after he buries one of the best wrestlers of his generation (Kevin Owens) in 2 minutes.
WWE has trained the fans to forget about shit quickly
>>2256157
people like stroking their cocks to nostalgia. That's why most fetishes originate from events in one's childhood.
WWE fans have been abused to the point where we're starting to masochistically like to be wrong and get angry about it, in a subconscious way.
Goldberg didn't leave because he didn't give a shit about the business. He left because his run was garbage and, not only that, but he fucking hated how other guys were being booked that had nothing to do with him.
>New Japan just had its 4th MOTY candidate
>WWE has only had one
How can WWE step up?
WWE actually had none so far
>>2256125
>inb4 someone says Cena/AJ RR
Objectively worse than their Summerslam match.
>>2256117
If this match couldn't convince the LOS haters that Naito is a worldwide top talent, then idk what will.
Was this the most cringeworthy "run" in wrestling? It was fucking embarrassing and made worse by the fact that they were feuding with the Spirit Squad for half of it. They also buried Rated RKOs team at Survivor Series without losing a single member, literally what was the point of this?
Sell merch
draw dimes (which they did not)
Fuck you, I loved them. Then again I was twelve at the time.
DX Generation Part Duh are still more interesting and more charismatic than todays indie manlets and dweebs like Le swing man and yeah yeah yeah retard
Remember watching Rollins vs Cena at Summerslam 2015 and just looking at Seth holding two belts at the end in his white gear and after that performance and thinking 'fuck, he's just the best wrestler in the world right now'
Peak Rollins
Iktf, Based SeffGOAT
nah his world title run already was horrible and i didn't care about him anymore
peak jasethy was the rumble triple threat
>>2255827
That, dean ambrose feud, Summerslam and him pulling double duty on Night of Champions are my favourite moments of Seth's single career
