Hahaha remember these times like it were yesterday, national anthem singing and Shane impersonating HBK was the best.

 

Did you ever watch the inception period of TNA? Some of double J's heel work around that time was epic....impact zone fans back then were a crazy bunch, throwing bottles and even jumping the rails to attack wrestlers including him.

 

But in my time watching Wrestling, nothing beats SCSA turning on the WWF and siding with Vince.

The biggest and best heel turn of all time is simply Hogan at Bash at The Beach '96 with him being the third man and the formation of the nWo.

 

It led to the biggest change in the business - a boom period in wrestling and of course the sheer heat it generated was off the scale.

Was brilliant because it really was a shock

Yes, it set the business on fire so can’t argue.

Ha Punk screws McIntyre again and this time in front of a scottish crowd....

 

Lovely escalation for what should be some feud.

The commentary adds to it.

The fucking state of that era when nearly every wrestler was some sort of cartoon character.

How mad is it that the ropes trapping his foot potentially saved him from suffering, and to quote a legendary HoF’er, a broken freaking neck.

Bret Hart 97 heel run is up there as one of the great heel runs ever.

A babyface everywhere outside of America and absolutely hated in the US.

When you can even drive a travelling ECW crowd to buy into it then you've won at wrestling.

I think Punk should have helped McIntyre win, taking the gloss of the title win off McIntyre and making it more about Punk, embarrassing McIntyre further.

Ha nice swerve i like it.

 

The 'two count' was funny though.

Bloodline stuff kicking into new levels.

 

The newcomers are great and Jacob Fatu last night coming in and battering Rhodes, Orton and Owens was superb.

 

Punk and Heyman involved too which was gold.

 

Really good stuff.

Best smackdown episode of the year.

[Lee909]

Not seen anything this week but all this hype for the Wyatt 6 stuff. I really think that's going to fail big time. If Bray was about It would get some traction but baring a initial push I dint see where it goes. Helped even less with no Alexa Bliss or Braun Strowman in the mix either

The rumour mill suggests Bliss will be the 6th member.

 

This article suggests could be her:

 

The initial QR code led to the acronym, "UEDNJ51A." There's a theory that it stands for the initials of the six members of the Wyatt Sicks. The U stands for Uncle Howdy, the E for Erick Rowan, the D for Dexter Lumis, the N for Nikki Cross, the J for Joe Gacy, the five and one equals six, and the A is for Alexa Bliss

Yes, by far. I think Smackdown has been a bit shit compared to Raw all year. That episode was really good.

I love the Bloodline as I have great fun with it in my house. My 7 year old despises them, I go ott celebrating every win they have or any cheating they do.

Do you not find Raw a bit long?

I don't think the extended run time helps at all
