Vince is the godfather of wrestling.
Just be happy you were lucky enough to live through it.
>>
He was though

Also he's the won that made the company public, selling out first to shareholders and eventually to the Jews. Gave us the awful PG era. All he cared about was profit after WCW was dead.
The truth is that the competition with WCW produced the only good content wrestling has ever had on television and everything else has been baby-tier retardation for dumb brownoids ever since.

You can't blame TKO without blaming Vince because he sold out to them. Same as people defending George Lucas when he's the one who sold out to Disney -- that makes it your responsibility, at least in part, for however bad it gets without you.

2001-2008 was absolutely a golden era of wrestling. Attitude and Monday night wars only lasted 3 years, but the 7 years post-invasion was absolutely the best the WWE has ever been.

Hope he gets shown at the hall of fame when Steph gets in and Cena and Jericho and then he gets back in the fold especially if the Saudis buy it one day. He’ll never die so he can book it again fuck it.

Cena between 2005-2011 was the absolute drizzling shits. I laugh myself to death when retards speak about his feuds with Edge or Orton when they were absolute garbage from a wrestling standpoint. Even Cena recognized in an interview not long ago that his wrestling was fucking shit during that era so he started asking every single other wrestler he worked with how to get better, learn other moves, and mesh with his style.

Not sure if golden but was hella great.
I didnt appreciate Benoit enough because watching some of his matches it was kino af.
Brock being a freak of nature but still beatable also gave us his best performances.
Umaga was such a great monster too. Wasnt prroperly used after he jobbed to Cena but still had great stuff.

I read some stupid fuckin posts on here but saying the early 2000s was a golden era is the most baffling fucking thing Ive read in a while.

Oh yea Big Show riding Big Bossman's dad's casket was fuckin peak
Hell yea funaki still doing the godzilla shit, epic
Oh boy another 45 second womens match
Awesome, super cena mustard and baloney arc!

Fuck off. This site used to have balls to ban people with such absurd takes on things.

Kikes, you mean kikes. Ari Emanuel is at the top of TKO and he is the yid pushing the money grabs.

We also had a cheap WWE network that had the PPV's and archival content in one place instead of spread across multiple streaming services like today. I don't think we truly knew how good it was at the time plus it was slightly ahead of the general streaming trend anyway.

Temu Goldberg was not fun to watch

Dolph Ziggler was the only thing of worth in that sea of shit. Daniel Bryan was a nice underdog story but took gargantuan effort from the fans to happen and then disappeared. NXT takeover brought some cool shit but it also made wrestling school the designated area for anyone under the age of 32 missing their best years before being called up to the main roster now.
>>
>>19488362
Evolution as in HHH, Randy and Batista. their matches against the shield were based. team hell no was based. Ryback was based. part time Brock and Rock was better than 2002-2011 and 2016-present

Delusional. As soon as Vince bought WCW, the audience was cut in half and has only fallen from there. It killed the business and led to the post kayfabe era which has been garbage ever since.

He was a carny. He got singled out cause he was a white guy and that's the only acceptable demographic for blaming the fact that it's a garbage world of bread and circus and we've peaked as a species because it's not exploitably profitable to excel.

If you can't understand he is saying wrestling is fake and we are gonna make it more entertaining as ENTERTAINMENT then you clearly don't have ears.

Saying "you're tired of the super hero who wins and says to say your prayers and eat your vitamin" is flat out explaining booking.
>>
>>19490933
Obviously he is being meta but there's nothing there that would break a kid's immersion
>>
>>19490958
>Kids
It wasn't a matter of keeping kids immersed, it is the adults. Everyone over the age of 13 would immediately know wrestling was fake which is the majority of fans.

AND MORE PEOPLE TUNED IN. They accepted it was "Sports entertainment" rather than "wrestling" and thought the crazy fake shit they were doing was awesome.

Vince also saw the ring as sacred, not to be put on adverts and soulless messaging.

He IS western pro wrestling. Everything else, including WWE of today, is living off of Vince and who he was.
Only Japanese wrestling has been its own thing for the most part.

Yea, Vince might not have liked LA Knight at first, but I think he might've been won over by Knight once he started getting more over with the fans in 2023.
Triple H hates LA Knight so much he'd rather give him nothing and have him do fuck all, not that Knight looks unique enough to stand out from the rest of the crowd like CM Punk. What's so fucking special about LA Knight anyways?

Being the MMM manager as a male talent with the charisma that LA Knight had was a fate worse than death. At least Vince just put him there because he knew he had charisma but was just biased against anyone over 40.

HHH just purposely makes LA Knight suffer but at least he gets to wrestle in the main event seen, even as the designated jobber

Vince's booking still has nothing to do with the WWE Network and it was already getting phased out by then in the U.S. if I remember correctly. Now hit the weights, take a shower, and get a clue you fuckin' mark.

>>19495566
They say it's for "the superstars' bodies" but yeah basically
>>
>>19495566
They make less money than PLEs so they don't' bother, completely ignoring the point of house shows is to practice spots for big matches and also develop long term fans by offering a cheap way to see superstars locally

There is nothing left of Vince's way....
