Things You Miss in Wrestling

Meh titus isn't doing that bad. Making the best of a shitty idea.

Who does he manage?

Call 423 - GET FAME

>>3121003

>>3120996

I just miss The Brain. :(

>>3123072
AYYY TAY-HANO

>>3123082
No.

Babyfaces having friends to back them up.

>>3123175
each program not being its own isolated story too

>>3123094

Makes me sad when I think about what happened to him

Heyman actually killed managers

>>3123226
Managers died out because Vince hates them

>>3123213
The fact that one of the best voices of professional wrestling ended up with throat cancer and having his vocal chords removed is the very definition of irony.

>>3120996
Blading, chairshots to the head, bra and panties matches, swearing, steroids.

I'm not the same guy, idiot

coked out promos
roided out superhero bodies
charisma

WWE: Pyro, bleeding, Big Show's old theme, good PPVs, piledrivers, good-looking world title, vehicles, Undertaker

>>3120996
Literally everything, even NewGeneration era

WWE is an abomination with these midgets

>>3123806

Angaar TV.

What I'd love is a fusion of the modern indie wrestling style with the cocaine fuelled promos of old. Roids are cool too as long as they don't get in the way of athleticism (like with Brian Cage). I just want to see someone coked out of their mind, buzzing with drug addled charisma in the backstage interviews, and then come out to the ring and start doing flips and spots and dives at the speed of light. Basically, it'd be 80s WWF on the mic and Lucha Underground in the ring. It probably wouldn't last very long before everyone either OD's or cripples themselves, but it would be worth it.

I miss fatties.
I miss midgets.
I miss job related gimmicks.
I miss grudge matches over stolen personal items.
I miss really evil heels.
I miss the side russian leg sweep.
I miss ...
Well, I miss 1980s- 1990s wrestling.

>>3121003
Apollo Creed and Akira Tozawa

>>3120996
That and animal mascots for some of the wrestlers.

>>3123909
Pretty based.

Would tune in/by ticket to.

Le tude babby please leave

This is what I loved most about WCW and really miss. They don't have to go full gimmick on every one like they did with Bash at the Beach or Road Wild, but still give us something different for every PPV.

probably more things but these come to mind immediately as being noticeably absent.

This GOAT pairing. The politically incorrect banter and studio segments between these two. You will never see any tandem again in wrestling with better chemistry than these two.

>>3123213
Fuck cancer!

>>3126223
Could you imagine these two having to shill for the network?

WWE would occasionally have decent stages before the network.

2011 Capital Punishment was a horrible PPV, but a great set

Shit, that's what it is, isn't it?

>>3126235
Heenan would constantly take the piss and that would somehow get more buys than all of Coles endless shilling.

>>3120996
I miss The Brain. One of the best managers of all time.

And I miss good managers in general. Roman needs a manager so freaking much. Turn him into a near mute, and give him a good manager to run his mouth for him. You know, like Brock Lesner and Paul Heyman.

>>3126223
Truly freaking awesome team! GOAT.
