WWE would kill to have a midcarder as versatile and permaover as Disco today, you prick. So this guy shares his opinion about Booker mentioning Disco and gets called a prick for it? That's bullshit. He's entitled to his opinion, and as far as Disco Inferno goes, Glen Gilberti is an egotistical moron, who isn't anywhere near as clever as he thinks he is. You know...like you, you dumb shit. Lmao

Folks do get mad at the bookers instead of heels now. Online chats about wrestling long, long ago hit critical mass of talking about the writers and writing instead of the characters. Things that 20 years ago would get people talking about what a piece of shit X heel is for doing whatever they did is now "It's not heat on the talent, it's heat on the bookers" navel gazing dumbshit that you'd never get when discussing other TV shows. Transposing heat from heels to bookers is how super smarks make it still be real to them in 2017.

Throughout WWWFE history, I'd say there are more cards where the heels win and faces look like losers and idiots than the other way around. It's just now, instead of getting mad at the heels for cheating, people get mad at the bookers for booking them to cheat.

PPVs have been full of shit finishes since they started. PPVs going back to the 80s are littered with DQs, no contests, and count out finishes even in main events of such shows as big as Wrestlemania.

I don't give Punk nearly as much credit as Bryan because Punk wasn't hired due to his in ring work. I 100% believe Punk wouldn't have been signed at all if he wasn't basically the only guy on the indies who could cut a promo at the time, plus he was taller than the vast majority of guys as well. I wouldn't even put Punk down as the guy that blazed the trail for Bryan, as WWE has always had work rate guys to fill the undercard going back decades. Bryan would have been signed eventually no matter what, if just to be a guy to have good matches. His success is what changed the paradigm. Punk was a mostly safe bet since almost anyone who can talk can get over, which is what happened when they started letting him talk. It certainly wasn't his classic and athletic ring style that brought Punk to the dance.

It wasn't booked well before MITB, dawg.

Not a good show at all, but shout out to the Maharajah retaining even though he should never, ever be booked in a 20 minute match again. Also shout out to Corbin's exquisite heel booking. Usos/New Day was for sure MOTN. AJ/Nak at Summerslam or WM is going to be LIT. Women's MITB being won by a man all to set up a Daniel Bryan promo is never going to not be funny. I hope the decision is made that Ellsworth actually won and he's the one that can cash in since no one thinks of him as a man. Where are all those SD marks saying the women's division is so much better on the blue brand?

PTW in 1986 is some of the worst televised wrestling programs I've ever seen.

Chuck's grenade spot also only comes in purely comedy matches from start to finish. It's not like he does it in the middle of a superheated, stiff, serious match.

Yet the median age for live crowds is probably half that.

Who is praising Hogan so much for his in ring prowess?

They were the greatest thing on ONE Takeover. And they weren't even the best part of their match. AA had lost almost all steam and hype before they even got called up.

He actually said the first match was better than any match in the history of wrestling, but now he ranked the rematch higher so even if you don't take the stars at face value, his words say these are the two greatest matches in the history of pro wrestling. Which is lol, but whatever.

I agreed with both JBL and Corey about the dive shit. Both had pretty valid points, although JBL's insistence on AJ/Cena being an example of tearing the house down without doing moves and moves and moves was pretty lol. The AJ/Cena series was another in a line of Cena doing indie spot stuff and getting praised for it, which made sense in their first meeting as the story was Cena proving he could keep up with and do whatever AJ could, as opposed to the follow ups which were just the Cena PWG formula with AJ, which elevated it a bit because it's AJ. In the end, JBL and Graves both agreed that Ricochet vs Ospreay was great, so the whole argument kind of seemed pointless.
