>>18274889 (OP)
It's so sad that Zeke just quit wrestling after this. I thought he was really good. A little rough around the edges, sure, but nothing some money and some miles couldn't fix.
Surely he could have had a kino run in Japan.

>Hey, Shane, Have fun booking yourself in the Rumble but keep in mind we're going to need you looking strong for SummerSlam.
>WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH! Not that strong, pal! Get the HELL out of my company!

never forget when Riddick Moss had a personality.

>>18275099
That's one BIIIG ninja.

>>18274889 (OP)
I still don't get why Hunter did him so dirty.

>>18275387
He committed the greatest crime of them all. Being over.

God I loved bum-ass Corbin

It is sad but they are a strong and handsome family

>>18274889 (OP)
Big Zeke was getting pops and cheers. Faggot Triple H killed him off for no fucking reason.
Then he creates El Grande Americano bullshit.
Fucking hate that faggot Triple Gay so much.

>>18274911
What are they even doing with this nigger now? Anything?

>>18274889 (OP)
Wasn't this just Elias with a shave?

>>18274889 (OP)
The only time I ever got high in my life, I was watching clips of the feud he had with Kevin Owens and just kept laughing my ass off

>>18275799
Sh

They will never know

>>18275799
No way you can be this retarded

>>18275799
I bet you think the Hardyz were just one guy too.

>>18274889 (OP)
this was fucking awesome
they need to bring back vince’s golden egg in some capacity

>>18275117
Tell me a funny joke.

Bum Corbin was the first time I ever liked the guy
Got lamer when he "got money"

>>18275856
This egg is going straight up your ass pal.
Monster Poo

Slimed bitch

>>18275856
Whenever the egg isn't on screen people should be asking "Where's Vince McMahon's Golden Egg?"

>>18274889 (OP)
Lana becoming a wrestler, only to end up being put through a table for 8 weeks straight by Nia Jax. The best one is when she got powerbombed for no reason whatsoever after Nia got eliminated from a battle royal.

Utter madness

>>18275856
It's quite funny how most of the people in this aren't even with the company anymore

Curse of the Golden Egg.

If you had to describe late Vince cringekino to someone who wasn't a wrestling fan but was curious about all the memery, how would you put it?

>>18275799

>>18276158
A senile old man got to put whatever he wanted on TV to amuse himself because of his previous track record

>>18275597
It's actually interesting compared today's slop. Was really bad at the time though, I considered quiting for good

>>18276158
An elderly coked out pervert who is obsessed with edgy MTV humor, TV from the 60s, and Saturday morning cartoons trying to make family friendly content solely for his own amusement.

>>18275597
it's really easy to look back and smile but watching this in real time, week to week? dear god

>>18274889 (OP)
This guy managed to get a glimpse of what it felt like to be in the main event and then his character was ruined

>>18274889 (OP)
it was only kino because kevin owens made it work. wouldve been DoA for anyone else

>>18276027
im 100% sure this was a rib on Roman

>>18274977
I think I would have tolerated all that shit from that picture had it not been surrounded by the unholy main event trifecta that was babyface Seethe Tarpins at the peak of his geekdom, Becky's The Man run that got botched after an initially promising start, and goddamned ubermensch booking Roman Reigns with his endless rematches with Brock and whoever else. The latter is what really killed off my interest in following the shows on a regular basis.
It was basically 5-6 hours of tv that were 80% dull as shit, with a 20% chance of witnessing some surreal decision making. Add to it the continuosly lost in the shuffle NXT callups, and you have very little to get out of watching Raw or Smackdown. It's amazing that the company made it out of that period without any debilitating losses.

>>18275911
they legitimately could have gotten a great storyline out of his rise back up to the top, but schizo vince had other plans for him

>>18274977
https://youtu.be/RgKAFK5djSk?si=ofRpoiwWuuxIUwt3

>>18275699
Waiting to be released. He hasn't even shown up with Waller recently

>>18274889 (OP)

>>18276264
I have a schizo theory that this stuff was vince pushing roman to stand up for himself. when he left because of the leukemia he said something like "when I come back it won't be about titles, it'll be about inspiring people" so vince tested his limits. it was delayed by covid but roman eventually wanted to take charge of his own destiny and we got da tribal chief

>>18276583
What did Liv do to entertain the fans in those 8 minutes

>>18276597
they just stand in the ring while commercials play on the titantron

>>18276526
That's honestly pathetic, blaming him by association just because Vince saw talent in him, which anyone with half a brain would have.

>>18274977
>Nia
Context? What was it specifically?

>>18275099
>Nigerian giant
>stealthy ninja
The idea alone makes me smile

>>18276608
Fucking Dunn, man.

take me the fuck back
TAKE ME THE FUCK BACK

>>18274889 (OP)
The more I reflect on this the more I find the handling of this storyline baffling. People were genuinely into the Zeke story and HHH just ended it immediately.

>>18277850
How would Riddle have done in the HHH WWE? I vaguely remember him feuding with Seff but that was a while ago.

>>18277927
HHH just didn't like Elias for whatever reason.

>>18277927
I remember getting rid of Ezekiel was the literal first major change he made as booker. He was made head of creative on july 25th and he killed off Zeke on august 9th. That's how mad he was over a silly storyline. What's funny is 3 years later he has ran out of ideas and is now running the el grande americano bullshit.

>>18277430
just a random funny face, there are like 5 of them in the collage

>>18274977
I'm not letting retards on /pw/ get nostalgic for this dogshit

>>18275131
This was literally Vince’s reaction to antifa

>>18278498
So what's the deal with these guys? Vince gave them this gimmick and it just woke something up inside them?

>>18278511
It's a great gimmick under thr right booker

>>18274977
You can have "high workrate" matches and still have ridiculous shit like this which is needed in wrestling. There is nothing to talk about in wrestling anymore.

>>18277984
he's too far in the coombrain gooner pipeline, didn't matter who was in charge

>>18274904
Fucking BASED

>>18275856
>The egg
I was looking for this exact post. Even worse just look at the three other people in the photo. Perfectly exemplifies how shit the roster was

>>18278511
Vince gave them the gimmick and they are booked like a jobbers just like 3MB. Funny thing is LA Knight was the manager of Maximum Male Models and his old name was Max Dupri

>>18278759
Vince shoot hated anyone associated with hunters NXT towards the end

>>18276583
Holy shit

>>18278511
The guys with three kids each are gay?

>>18275131
I always forget Mercedes Martinez was in Retribution for like 1 week before bailing from the DOA gimmick before it stuck with her

>>18276608
Say what you want about current WWE, the production and cinematogrophy have gotten so much better since Dunn's departure. It's easy to forget just how bad it was.

>>18278950
i forgot Martinez even existed, didnt she pop up in AEW at some point?

>>18279154
I shoot thought she became Raquel until I actually thought about it just now.

>>18276027
That Big Dog shit needed to die and this was the buller

>>18276608
Jesus, not even Cocomelon’s this bad with camera cuts

>>18278860
You tell me

>>18277984
well it depends. regarding how HHH would handle him, probably pretty well i would imagine. riddle was one of his B&G guys so he already liked him, and he was already over under vince. problem with riddle is i can't see him not being a backstage diva/headache no matter who's in charge, so if he didn't get banned during vince's reign somehow, probably the same thing would have happened under HHH.

>>18276561
the dogfood was probably the final straw

>>18278860
vince has kids and he wanted to get shit on by a BBC, it doesn't stop anything

>>18278759
do you think that knight and maxxine are still canonically kayfabe siblings? they've been on different shows ever since he left, we haven't seen them link up again.

I thought of some real obscure 2019 schizokino two days ago but its gone.

kino

>>18279441
I never see people mention Drake Maverick managing AOP.

>>18279472
RAM Underground was based and fuck trannies and cucks for complaining about it.

>>18274889 (OP)
How about while NXT is all about tickle butt, he took over and made Bron BraKKKer a star.

>>18274889 (OP)
VINCE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING

>>18274977
You will never convince me that this isn't the result of years of steroid and cocaine abuse. Vince should have been outsed before 2016.

>>18274889 (OP)
No joke, Zeke was over with me. Probably the only reason I was watching the show at the time. I liked his rare second theme that he only used like 2 or 3 times

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzKNtz45C8s

>>18279527
Honestly I miss stuff like Zeke, the Hurt Business and Rusev Day. Now we get 30 minute womeme matches or the Fridge Raiders being fat in front of you all RAM.

>>18275856
Came here for this

>>18276583
Never seen this and I almost woke up the neighborhood when fucking Ronald Reagan of all people pops up like 15 mins in. Truly unhinged.

>>18276158
A terrified team writing for an audience of one crazy man

you now remember r-truth pinning maria while she was at her obgyn for the 24/7 title

>>18277984
HHH would've turned him serious again and gone full throttle with the push like in NXT. Maybe it would've even wizened him up.Or maybe not.

>>18274904
he needs a giant spider pal that's good shit

>>18279610
the best part is how literally none of them want to be there

>>18277984
HHH was big on riddle, his burial was part of that weird era were "someone" was deliberately making all the nxt callups look like jokes for some fucking reason despite the fact that they were employed by the same company

>>18278033
ezekiel was just a retarded ripoff of el vagabondo, who was based

>>18279386
AJ has been wanting to bring back the MMC, so there's an opportunity right there if it ever happens.

>>18276583
>Liv enters
>break happens
>recap, backstage segment, and PLE promotion
>do all that shit so Rhea can make her entrance on TV
>can't even capture the whole entrance because they have to cut to commercials, again
Fucking Christ, WWE was awful when it came to managing the time of their matches on air.

>>18279328
What the hell would Vince have done if some disaster struck and he lost everyone from the ruthless agression era, the late 2000s, and the early 2010s at the same time and only had mid 2010s built nxt stars to book?

Not having Possum King Corbin on my TV every week anymore is enough reason to prefer current WWE over that slop

>>18274889 (OP)
>that time bobby lashley and theory had a pose off for the US championship
>the priest schizo gimmick
>that episode where they had a hot dog eating contest between alpha academy and the street profits
>the sami zayn documentary
>the AJ styles and Omos tag team

>>18275450
>drew none

>>18280594
Oh! The AJ & Omos tag! I just remembered something:
>AJ showing up with Omos for months before Omos had any action in the ring but insisting on camera to interviews and colleagues that you aren't supposed to look or talk about Omos only referring to him as a friend.
>For weeks Omos interfering with matches consisted of him taking a step closer to the ring and that's it

>>18281176

>>18277984
Riddle was in WWE during Triple H's booking, retard.

>>18281176
>>18281179
Nothing wrong with this btw

>>18281340
Except the stationary cut from the webm looked 1000x more brutal and real.

Who is that doing the Senua cosplay?

I only learned of the Cleopatra Egg from this thread. Was there any payoff?

>>18282447
If I remember correctly, Austin Theory turned himself into Vince, who respected him for stealing the egg and started his big push. It was all shit but to be fair to Theory, he did a okay job when he was given the ball.
