No movie or show could ever hope to be as good as this was back in the day.

*smashing glass

McMahon named all the wrestlers after his kinks, and you're all now playing the game with me

for me Vince had the catchiest theme song

Stone cold was never a draw.

>>212702781
>the man who made the most money for the company than any other wrestler in history other than John Cena (which is massively inflated) was never a draw
what kind of smark are you?

>>212702540
Shane is really amazing because you expected him to be the most pathetic nepo baby and he apparently carried that like a chip on his shoulder that made him want to try to kill himself as hard as guys like Mick Foley

>>212702540
I weep for what could've been if Shane had just been as vicious/pragmatic as Steph/H and fucked over his father for the good of the product and overtook him but he's not a bad guy at heart and is the only one who didn't turn on Vince after the smear campaign bought and paid for by Hunter and Steph.

Saw them headline WrestleMania and it was a blast!

Kurt Angle has a strong case for being the best wrestler ever. His wrestling was second to none, he was an amazing promo cutter and had an immense presence at just his first year in the business when it took The Rock years to hone his on-screen persona.

good fucking times

never appreciated him as a kid because I thought he was just a clown. Only now do I understand what an amazing heel he was. Plus a genuine Olympic athlete

>>212702813
To be fair that’s what /pw/ genuinely believes

>>212703022
That’s even a board so much as it is a single man acting schizophrenic.

Vince vs Austin is the greatest rivarly in any piece of media ever. The disgruntled blue collar man sticking it to his boss and humiliating him over and over. it was cathartic on a massive scale. which made his heel turn that much more kino.

Pro wrestling was the cultural zeitgeist of the world from mid-1996 to its absolute peak in 1999
Anons that weren’t around in the late 90s can’t comprehend how much of a phenomenon it actually was

>>212703821
Seconded. It was must-watch in the truest sense. A true cultural moment. It could've easily kept up its momentum well into the 2000s if Shane had been given the reins and kept up the hard edge and fixed the creative issues.

for rednecks and 12 year olds, yes

Disgust and reprehension is everyone's reaction when you make your putrid existence known. KYS.
