>and you see the thing is, Steve, you're not the guy anymore. You're just a has been with a 4-wheeler. Now get the hell out of my ring
Wow. Austin was a fucking jobber circa 2003-2004. He got completely owned by Paul.

Hi Hunter. Nice quads!
As for the quads on your legs, fuck 'em, you ego-inflated business-ruining asshole.
Reminder, millions of people tuned out during the Reign of Terror.
>>2595560
Hi Steve!
>>2595561
Reminder millions more tuned out during Cena Reign of Doom
>BASED BIG GAME HHH as THE GUY carrying the company
>Austinetty relegated to riding around on a four wheeler like a goof
>implying there was anything wrong with this
HHH was more over than Austin even in the Attitude Era. 2000 was the biggest year in history. And HHH was the top guy bringing in the dimes.
And then when Steve took his ball and went home because he didn't want to put over Brock, HHH pic the ball up and saved the business again. Then he made the next two major stars to carry the business in Orton and Batista.
>>2595560
Don't you have better shit to do with your time, Steiner?
>>2595565
Reminder that millions are dwindling to thousands now during the fall of the roman empire

How could Haitch carry anything on those blown quads of his
>>2595561
>the Reign of Terror.
was this a real thing? I quit watching during this time
>>2595665
so did everyone else
THE THING IS THAT IN THIS BUSINESS
>>2595674
I meant before this reign
>>2595555
When he mocks the sheriff Austin badge
Pure savage
>>2595555
>4 wheeler
Didn't know Haitch was a redneck
>>2595674
I liked it. We don't have anymore true heels that actually succeed and not just hold the belt for two months only to lose it to some skinny fag who holds it for a month
>>2595665
Mostly because Raw was nothing but WCW guys that left the company within a year. Nash, Hall, Steiner, Goldberg. They were little bitches whining about not getting their way like they did under Bischoff.
Triple H carried the brand on his back, now smarks want to tear that down and say he was overexposed.
reminder that when HHH cried to daddy Vince to finally be """""""the guy""""""""""", Raw ratings tanked like crazy
I wonder if Gaytch getting creative control had an influence on The Rock leaving wrestling for Hollywood. It was an extremely risky move and many failed before Dwayne but Gaytch is petty as fuck so it's possible that deep, deep down he was still mad that Shawn Michaels couldn't bury The Rock before becoming a top star and that he lost his feud against The Rock on 2000. That's very stupid but that's how Gaytch's mind works
>>2595926
Rock didn't waste a single neuron of his brain thinking about HHH. As soon as he realized he was getting enough acting offers to leave WWE and do it for real, he left forever.
>>2595678
YOU SEE
>>2595945
Hi Dwayne!
>>2595926
Trips told Vince to give Rock a shitty contract and that he would come crawling back for it when he failed in Hollywood.
>>2596004
This. The HHH run was hugely negatively received then too, it isn't revisionist history in the slightest.
>>2596000
Everyone expected Dwayne would failed. Remember he made some horrible flicks like The Tooth Fairy. Kudos to Dwayne for sticking to his dream instead of taking the easy way out. Maybe Gaytch made him an unintentional favor because Dwayne knew that he couldn't return to WWE without having to literally suck Gaytch's cock and jobbing hard to him.
>>2596024
This is why I cannot get mad at guys like Rock or Brock. Anyone who escapes Vince, makes bigger money, and comes back with leverage against Vince is a winner. Batista is shaping up to be this too. CM Phil tried and failed but I give him credit for trying.
>>2595803
Bullshit I watched during that time it was terrible it was the Triple H show. It forced people to watch Smackdown with Lesnar, Angle......
Guy made the show about him, won ever single fued he was in....ever main event
>>2596271
This.
Paul Heyman's Smackdown was where it was at. The fact that he was head writer for a relatively brief period is a travesty.
>>2597088
Can't outshine the flagship show
>>2595555
>killed ratings during his reign of terror
>ratings are in the tank again because of his nxt manlet experiment
>>2596264
Phil was a numale hypocrite. Brock and Rock are way too alpha to become marks for themselves
