Attitude-esque promo. Cena would have fit in perfectly, back in the day, really great stuff.

 

 

Cena is hilarious whenever they let him say what he wants. It's the overly scripted promos that make he and others sound like cornballs. Reigns isn't the brightest but he's also better when he's given more freedom.

Dont watch it anymore but that's pretty good

 

He was always good on the mic though. 

You could see that when he first came through the ranks at the tail end of the attitude era

Thats clips had me watching clips and shoot video's all day in work

So resubscribed to WWE Network for a while and am planning to sit down and start a chronological rewatch of some of the WWE.

Going to start from 1996,catch just prior to the start of the attitude era.

Cena did football predictions on the BBC website last week. If it’s still there, it’s mildly amusing.

Enjoying with rewatching the older stuff

 

Started with the first Rawin january1996

 

Some right corny shite and sales pitches for the WWF store

 

 

Triple H still Hunter Hurst Helmsley

Austin justing starting as the Million Dollar  champion the ringmaster 

Jerry Lawler full on heel commentator

Like a lot of things, I think it was better in the old days.

 

Or, quite likely, I like things a lot less as I get old.

The highs were higher in the Attitude Era, but I think the lows were lower as well. There is some really weird and disturbing shit they did back then that people forget. These days it's just very meh. It also doesn't help that wrestling used to be very mainstream back in the day, but now it's kind of seen as weird if you're a grown man and still a big fan. The perception of it is a lot worse.

Im watching just prior to the attitude era

 

I started to go off watching it when the ECW stuff started moving over to WWE

 

The thumbtacks and barbed wire etc really was not my thing at all.

I loved the attitude era as a whole as RAW pretty much became a soap opera with running storylines etc.

But i also loved it pre Monday night Wars when you see the old territory stuff and Ricky Steamboat/Flair etc just putting on clinics

You guys have to get on Chris Jericho vs Kenny Omega at New Japan Pro Wrestling's Wrestle Kingdom 12. Absolutely brilliant. Best Jericho match I've seen in almost a decade and Omega is the best in the world right now.

I want Diamond Dallas Page to Diamondcut someone. Haven't seen wrestling since forever. Have he even ever been wrestling in the WWF or was it only WCW ? 

 

Is Jake the snake still alive had a mean DDT.
