are you ready?
you think you can tell us what to do?
you think you can tell us what to wear?
you think that you're better?
well you better get ready...
to bow to the masters.

BREAK IT DOWN.

degeneration x in their prime, before xpac got in was great stuff. the skits were good (even when the new age outlaws joined up) and some of the stuff hunter and shawn did was epic (in wrestling terms). screw nwo and all that crap, that was just wannabe garbage.

WWF went through this era not long after Hogan/Nash/Hall left to invade WCW, where they brought up stars like HBK, Stone Cold, and Degeneration X, who were all awesome characters and had really good storylines, and fairly good wrestling. But they were still overshadowed by WCW/NWO who won the ratings week after week. But WCW couldn't sustain it. The booking by Bischoff was god-awful. Main events on WCW inevitably ended with a NWO run-in, week after week. The world's worst wrestler, Bill Goldberg, was pushed to the moon by beating jobber after jobber (there were rumors that he was actually defeated at a house show before WCW decided to push him, but i can't find the details) Meanwhile you had awesome cage matches with Mankind and UT, a longtime fued between Austin and Vince McMahon, and the development of the Rock, and people actually thought I was crazy for preferring WWF over WCW in those days. WWF from about 98 to 2002 had by far the best group of consistently good story lines in wrestling history.

Goldberg did destroy a lot of jobbers. what was his record? didn't he beat like 200 jobbers in a row?

I was traumatized after Jake the Snake DDT'd Ricky Steamboat on the concrete. Steamboats forehead was like 3" thicker after that.

On a WWE note:

Brian "Spanky" Kendrick was misused and screwed over by WWE.

Go watch some of his ROH stuff. His wrestling is 10x more entertaining than anything Austin, Rock, HHH, Cena has done in the past 5 years.

agreed.

I remember the come-back of the Ultimate Warrior on pay per view back in the early 90s. I about cried when they started playing his music.

For anyone who cares: The Official Site of the Ultimate Warrior


On a related note, does anyone have that link where the Warrior's lawyer threatened the owner of some other website (Something Awful?) and they had the hilarious e-mails going back and forth between them?

Edit: Guess I just needed a quick Google search. Text
