I finally got around to watching early 90s WWF for the first time with the help of a lot of weed. This gimmick was just so corny. At least Taker's later stuff was cool because he was edgy and the product was more serious, but this early 90s shit was so beyond cringe.
>>16564368taker is an ugly dimeless bitch
>>16564368He was scary if you were a little kid. He then became a hip anti hero to those kids as they entered middle school. Then he became a satanic cult leader for those kids in high school.
>>16564368god forbid someone try something new
>>16564398>hip anti heroTaker revisionist history is reaching truly delusional levels
>>16564368>NOOOOOOO A SPORT WHERE MEN IN SPEEDOS FAKE FIGHT EACH OTHER CAN'T HAVE OVER THE TOP CHARACTERS
>>16564368WWF in the early 90s was a Saturday morning kids show. You may as well complain about Rita Repulsa or Shredder not being realistic
>>16564453you know the craziest thing is it's still a saturday morning kid's show, just now they're not allowed to curse or bleed
>>16564371He's one of the biggest draws in history of Wrestling you fucking retard.
>>16564470lmao no he's not. he rode the coattails of and was mogged by the generational talents that were his contemporaries. sucking vince's cock didn't sell any tickets btw.
>>16564368He's one of the biggest draws of all time so good thing no one ever listens to your bitch-ass retarded opinions.
>>16564420in retrospect crucifying Steph was very heroic
>>16564368Shit yo bitch. The Undertaker was made for crt tvs
>>16564368While there was some great shit in the early 90s it was also the start of WWE going to shit with lame ass gimmicks Undertaker dying and going to haven was so lame and fuckin gay i stopped watching wrestling for a few years
>>16564368It's literally a Scooby Doo gimmick played deadpan and that's what makes it one of the best selling gimmicks of all time. When you are full of edgy piss and vinegar you think that being more grounded and realistic is better for immersion because the step from everyday reality to believing dudes in leather jackets are fighting for real in a ring is shorter. But if you can get people to believe for a second that goofy ass spandex overalls wearing motherfuckers are having a drama about who holds the urn of their dead parents ashes while the other shoots flames out of ring posts, you've got the hooked for life coming back to see where that outlandish story goes. That is better wrestling without a single punch thrown because it draws
it was television for 6-10 year oldsattitude era came along conveniently as those children were aging up
