ITT: Modern day wrestlers that would never have survived in the Hardcore Holly/JBL backstage bullying shenanigans era.
Pretty sure Xavier Woods wouldn't have lasted a single day.
CM Punk
Imagine him dealing with a 1996 or 1997 HBK
>>1711017
>Imagine him dealing with a 1996 or 1997 HBK
Punk basically was like that but with less talent and without the drugs
>>1711028
He didn't refuse to lose or flip out in the ring like Shawn did to Vader
>>1710994
JBL and Holly had no problems going against guys from all sizes and backgrounds.
For example Holly beat up Dupree and JBL hazed Mark Henry and Chuck Palumbo.
>>1711017
HBGay only bullied pure betas like Vader, Chris Candido and Shane Douglas
Phil despite being a >whiner >hypocrite >emo brat would think too highly of himself to get bullied by him
>>1711017
I'd like to see that HBK do that to Ryback when he injured his opponents. He would've been gone a long time ago.
>>1711035
he didn't tag Jericho in once at a house show because Jericho watched a hockey game before a match
>>1710994
It would be quicker to list the few who could.
>>1711047
That isn't on par to getting off the top rope at a major PPV to break character and yell at Vader
>>1711054
>PAUL IN TEARS
>>1711058
that move was still explainable in kayfabe
>>1711060
>Leon crying yet again
>>1710994
Enzo and cASS
Is this where we do the /asp/ thing of pretending like that work atmosphere was a good thing?
>>1711092
Hey Shane! On break from Target?
>>1710994
In the past decade or so, the image of what it means to be a 'man' has changed drastically in society, and the WWE is like a microcosm of the greater population. You think of the old guard, you think of guys like Stone Cold, HBK, probably the latest are Orton and Lesnar. All their hobbies include hunting and fishing and manly things like that. Look at the newer guys, New Day, Enzo and Cass, Balor, what are their hobbies? Playing video games, collecting legos? There's a pretty big generational divide. JBL probably walks around the back utterly disgusted at what the locker room has become.
>>1711083
Wasn't Balor the main guy in the locker room over in Japan? I doubt he'd put up with any shit from some fat fuck like jbl.
>>1711159
>gaijin
>leader of the locker room
Idk dude doesn't sound right maybe the foreigner side
These are the guys that would survive BACK IN THE DAY. I didn't include anybody on the roster that was already around back then:
-Owens
-Rusev
-Miz
-Nakamura
-Styles
-Baron Corbin (would probably be a huge bully himself once he was established)
-Braun
-Cesaro
-Anderson
-Gallows
-Rhyno
-Sheamus (maybe)
>>1711051
Top kek. Rollins would've taken out anyone giving him shit via injuriy sustained during a match.
Anyone fucking with him would find themselves in rehab doing leg extensions after emergency surgery.
>>1711176
>Sheamus
Here we go again with this guy. Guy got folded by Yoshi Tatsu and Sin Cara...He'd be fucking changing in the boiler room back then
>>1711176
I have a feeling that Nakamura would shit stomp most of the roster if he was pushed to that point, but that's probably why he might be on this list, because of his laid back personality outside of the ring. That and he probably wouldn't understand most of the bullying, word wise.
Also, I figure Gallows and Anerson would probably fit into the Undertaker's clique if it were back in the day.
>>1711176
>Rhyno
18+
Aintgonmakeit tier
>Xavier Woods
>Neville
>Finn Balor

>Tyler Breeze

>VaudeVillians
>Mojo Rawley

Not having sex tier
>1711235
>>1711159
No but he is a dojo boy so there's no point in fucking with him since he can beat the shit out of people.
>>1710994
all of them.
God I fucking hate that faggot Xavier Woods. Everything that's wrong with wrestling today.
>muh phd in cuckology
>>1711202
You mean by some former boxer and a Mexican gangster? They could've probably taken most of the AE locker room as well
>>1711235
>Bray Wyatt
he grew up in the business and would have done fine
>American Alpha
there are worse bullies in collegiate wrestling
>>1710994
Can some anon explain what that era was? Cant find shit in google
>>1711235
>bullying Kalisto when Sin Cara is around
JBL and Holly are fucked
>>1711039
Well, except Haku. No stiffness from Holly, seeing as he doesn't want to be on a stretcher by the end of the night. Understandable
https://youtu.be/_fJ-oGQ6WPE
>>1711350
I always forget that Hardcore had a really good physique, no homo.
>>1711058
It's much higher on the little bitch scale. A hockey game.
>>1711176
Miz got bullied by JBL and Benoit back in smackdow
Rhyno is a guy who existed backstage back in the days.
Sheamus is a pasty skin ging. Can't go gyming and tanning with anyone amd he alsi got BTFO by Sin Cara in a shoot.
>>1711235
Finn can make it he was train in the NJPW dojo he went through Liger's bullying
>>1711338
>>1711235
>hype man
>taking shit
Nah he played D1 college ball he took worse shit
>>1711235
>Finn Balor
I very much highly doubt back in the day any Gaijin doing as well as he did in Japan and then going to the WWE would get any shit from anyone, especially being a dojo kid
>>1711350
is that big poppa at the comments?
>>1711150
These damn kids with their iPhones and their "pokey mans", it's sick!
>>1711150
>Orton
>manly
Hilarious.
LEGO is hardly a new thing, dumbass. I have LEGO pieces old enough to be your Dad.
>>1711083
You leave those nice lads alone, Bob
Neville would not survive the bullying.
>>1716013
>STRONK as fuck JACKED guy
>toured Europe, Dragon Gate & NJPW
He'd fucking slaughter fugasis like JBL & Bobcore
>>1710994
He would be okay if the whole roster were transported to that time. He is friends with Kalisto, so he´s also under Sin Cara's protection
>>1711235
Balor, Rawley and American Alpha all come from real sports or Japan.
They would be fine.
>>1711058
when was this?
>>1710994
>Xavier Woods wouldn't have lasted a single day.
Pretty sure woods is the biggest paper tiger in pro wrestling I have ever seen. Reminds me of some song I heard about being loud as a motor bike but couldnt break a grape in a food fight
yeah haha bullying and hazing is great lol XD

>>1716648
Bullying is great because it puts losers in their place. If you're bullied then you don't deserve the air you breathe and should kill yourself. All the anti-bullying stuff of today does is decrease the quality of the human race.
>>1716681
Shawns rage out starts a little after 19:00 since poster was too much of a shithead to say when.
>>1716749
You sound like you get your ass kicked everyday in the locker room, anon
>>1716749
Bullying is great because faggots like you learn to shut the fuck up and get in place
>>1711150
Because manly men need other men to validate them by sharing their hobbies?
>>1711041
People felt so bad about Chris being a cuck that they didn't even fuck with him.
>>1711176
>Rhyno
>was in wwe in 99
boy you may be legally retarded
>>1716785
Awwww, you got your feelings hurt. I'm sorry, man.
>>1711190
rofl
>>1711295
Didn't Sin Cara have a gang that pulled a gun on Del Rio?
I'm pretty sure Holly or JBL would start beating the shit out of Nia Jax
>>1718229
Wrong Sin Cara, Mystico pulled a gun on Dorito , Hunico is his travel buddy
>>1710994
Deanetty
Sami Zayn
Xavier Woods
Dolph Ziggler
Zack Ryder
Sheamus
Ascension
Vaudevillans

Skip to the 24 minute mark for stunt granny
>>1718489
>Dean
wrestled in CZW and grew up in a harsh environment - he'd do fine
>Dolph Ziggler
stellar amateur background, dealt with lots of bullies in hs/college
Who were the softest guys in the AE?
>>1718749
Edge and Christians and the Hardyz
>>1711150
retard spotted
A guy like Rusev or Ziggler might show up on Xavier's video game show or whatever, but there's also no doubt that they could legitimately kill a dude like Bob Holly or JBL and are also better at what they do.
JBL got concussed by limp dicked ron paul geek Joey Styles so uh who gives a shit what he thinks about the locker room, lmao
>>1718773
pfft christian had everyone backstages' respect
>>1718816
Well its just Edge and the Hardyz
>>1718773
All had mad respect after the TLC's and from wrestling as jobbers and earning their place for years. Little known fact, but Matt was Austin's first WWE televised opponent.
>>1711035
It was vader's fault
>>1711294
U mad
you are aware that this is all staged, right? lol what do you mean "survive"... dudes are drinking roid-beers backstage before their pretend fights
>>1718277
>Implying they wouldn't fuck her
Nia Jax is a delicious BBW
>>1711150
Muh fragile masculinity
>>1716661
What's it like knowing you're never gonna pass on your genes?
