If this match took place today, who would the modern day equivalent participants?
>>16827984my uncle told me they cut off big shows hand and used it for the old smackdown set is this true
>>16827995Yep, then they cut his other hand off and hid it in my walls, that's why he's been in there for the past 4 years searching for it.
>>16827953>new set just arrived>Shane McMahon outta nowhere
>>16827953Unironically, cos WCW is gone. WCW would always go out if their way for the themed PPV entranceways/sets. Fair play to them they had a dedicated crew that always delivered big on that. Which made WWF copy and improve upon the concept then with their budget/production values. Remember the Armageddon '99 entranceway set ? You'd never see the likes of that nowadays. It would be too based for this gay Earth
>>16827995'fraid so
>>16827992Apollo Creed, Pete Dunne, R-Truth, Carlito, and the Street Profits
>>16827953Costs. What defense can you make for specialty one time use sets that offsets the money it doesn't cost to not make them? "It makes the show feel special" is a mark answer, prove the special sets lead to more eyeballs and have results to back you up. Because the feel isn't real, the money and the miles are.
>>16827953I'll always remember this match because of the bumps they took off that set

>>16829446shoot haven't seen the second one
>>16828796You make record profits though?
>>16827953they're the only game in town and know you'll continue to lap up whatever garbage they serve you and brag about it on the internet
>>16828727>Apollo Creedanon, I...
>>16828700>Unironically, cos WCW is goneso how do you explain WWE using unique sets more than 10 years after WCW closed?
>>16827953>Taz wrestles with shit smeared on his foreheadWas it a rib?
>>16829925Part of how that happens is spending money wisely.
>>16830077They could afford it back then and were still successful and making profits. Now they make even more money and somehow can't afford it? It has nothing to do with money.
>>16829446Based Shane O' trying to impress his dad. What a great son!
>>16827995No, you're uncle's a drunk dumbass and he stil owes me $50.The Smackdown fist was the father of the hand Mae Young gave birth to.
>>16827953I always loved the Armageddon 2008 sethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJld8n5F4Kk
>>16829909That whole ppv was a little bit of a stinker, especially the ass main event, but there's that match which is a banger and a match between HBK and a young Randy Orton that's a real hidden gem. You can totally tell Shawn is calling the shots in the ring and callng the pace, but Orton while still a greenhorn holds his own and it becomes a real good classic wrestling match with an old school feel. Highly reccomend both of them.
>>16831605>they let a drug addict win the title
