This was the biggest thing on TV
We all thought it was real
>>223590060It sure was.
>>223590060>This was the biggest thing on TV
The Attitude Era was absolute kino. Top level kino in fact.
>>223590198Who is this roody poo?
>>223590186moar
>>223590706Mad to think he should have been the first black POTUS, but Barry was already bought and paid for by Israel so it was never going to happen.
I've been watching old clips of Attitude era on YouTube Better than any modern TV slop
A guy I know hates the attitude era and seethes that wcw lost even though it had "better wrestling". He still watches wrestling to this day. Can any /pw/ autists explain why we're supposed to think watching a bunch of washed up over the hill dinosaurs from the 1970s and 80s larping like their wrasslin is "real" is supposed to be more entertaining than watching a drunken redneck beat up his boss?
>>223590735
>>223590825I don't know what you think /pw/ is but no one discusses wrestling there. It's just endless threads of everyone accusing the other of being angry
>>223590900Ya seethe?
>>223590943God I wish Kimbo and Prime Sunny were in the AE
>>223590962based
>>223590892Even as a kid I didn't care for fake tits, my main crushes were Sunny then Stacy Kiebler who were natty. The likes of Debra and Sable did nothing for me
>>223590060McMahon and WWE were retarded for trying to walk back to a family friendly format. They were beating fucking Monday Night Football in ratings during the attitude era. Absolutely insane logic.
>>223590900Dont forget the ratings posting
He was fun in Nash Bridges, that's how I primarily know this guy.
>>223591369Linda made Vince do that shit cause she was running for office at the time, she lost.
>>223590172People have known wrestling is fake since the 60s, it’s always been an open secret. Even kids know it’s fake
>>223591369You forgetting this thing called UFC came along and that’s where all angry young white guys shifted too. SpIkeTV, Affliction bullshit shirts, tribal tats and sporting Maxim Magazine and power drinks >m
>>223591369They lost their edge when they got neutered by a bunch of hippies and had to change their name from WWF to WWE.
>>2235901862001 debra was a 10, and stone cold was an insecure cuck who never wanted any guy near her kek
>>223591369They wanted to sell toys and shit
>>223591369Ratings were good but the ad-revenue sucked, for it's high ratings there was never much of a bidding war for the TV products and got low end advertisers >>223591575 As anon said they saw the writing on the wall and UFC will take the trash chud demo so was smart to go for families and more female friendly
...wie?Kanker ameriniggers moeten weg van mijn internet.
>>223591664Vince absolutely cucked himself with that
>>223590060Some wrestling fans hate prowrestling now but still watch it out of Automaticity and self loathing - we call them "aewtists"
>what>what>what
>>223591369It's the classic carnie move, saying "fuck you" to your audience and then completely selling out, incorporating and making the product G-rated so you and a couple of people in the head office become obscenely rich (Vince became a billionaire overnight).Wrestling, to people like Vince, was always just about drawing the house and exploiting the audience for money.Ditching the Attitude Era for a lukewarm PG product and becoming a billionaire to do it is the highest-tier carnie move that has ever been accomplished.But that's Vince. He's the Barnum and Bailey of our era.
>>223591575WWE could have owned UFC, Shane McMahon urged Vince to buy it in early 2000's but Vince instead decided to waste his money with XFL
>>223590060>WHATI SAID THE BIGGEST THING ON TV>WHATTHE BOOB TUBE>WHATTHE IDIOT BOX>WHATTHE ELECTRIC JEW>WHAT
>>223592592The only way Vince differs from the rest of the wrestling promoters through history is that he was more successful than them.
I like when Vince made that slut bark like a dog
>>223592695The Vince McMahon character has to be the #1 heel character in this business, hands down. No wrestling site will admit that though. VDS predates TDS by two decades, so it's a lot worse.
>>223592670Most of them, yes.
>>223592592>Ditching the Attitude Era for a lukewarm PG productWtf you talking about? WWE didn't go PG until like 2008, after the Benoit shit. The ruthless aggression era which came after the attitude era was just as trashy, probably even more so. Some of the most infamous storylines happened during those years.
Diesel was a bigger draw than Stone Cold
>>223590060I love Vince MacMahon cause he taught me from a young age to hate women.
>>223592919Certainly for the black male audience.
>>223592934That's fine but Vince also taught us how to treat women. So the question is, do ya fuck them up close or hate from afar?
>>223592903I jerked off to Katie Vick
>>223591369>>223591575>>223591972>>223591664>>223592592Imagine crying about a fake and gay promo company in a fake and gay sport appealing to children (again).
>>223592919He sold out the locker room in the sweltering hot summer of 92
>>223593144Nash was such a ladies man he was even banging Scott halls wife lmao
>>223593308wow i didn't know scott hall was married to 10 black men. you think you know a guy...
>>223590762I watched Stone Cold recently take over WWF Corporate and he made everyone drink beers and fired anyone who didn't. Then he went to the financial dept. and stopped sending payments to Shane McMahon.
>>223590060Prowrestling is in a slump now. A rival federation built on reddit smarks popped up and gutted the independent scene so no new prowrestlers were being created to counteract this WWF started wrestling schools to train up & comers and this training school has defeated the new start up for 3 years come the end of January.
Childhood is like the Attitude Era. Adulthood is realizing 70s and early 80s territory wrestling is the best and Vince ruined everything with his monopoly tactics and cartoony bullshit.
Haven't been to /pw/ in forever but please tell me they are using this image as a "slump" meme?>>223594144
>>223590172Bullshit that was the whole point they stopped pretending it was real and became a kino tv show about a wrestling show
>>223594367>now It's been subpar since 2004 and horrible since 2013
Only in the usa no one outside the usa knows who the fuck this guy is
>>223590825WCW was more traditional southern-style wrestling. WWF was more over-the-top.
>>223594452You are a mark
>>223594666How so? I know it's all staged. I just prefer the older style of presentation.
>>223592919Are the rumours true...?
>>223594367>Prowrestling is in a slump now. It has its kino moments.https://youtu.be/_ZeLKN81Frg
>>223594593>"slump" memeQRD
>Makes British smarks seethe endlessly for some reason.
Its crazy to think his prime was so short lived yet he is so iconic
>>223594760Now that guy I knowHe's Hulkamania!24 inch one eyed python
>>223594774Hogan, Austin, and The Rock are the only three wrestlers to ever really have mainstream crossover appeal. Cena was only popular with kids in the 2010, qbd now that he's retired from wrestling and trying to be a real actor, he just comes off like a robot.
>>223594748>>>/pw/21301894Apparently prowrestling feds stop testing for drugs :(
>>223594828You don't know that. Official report on Macho Man was that he had a heart attack and crashed his jeep into a tree.So what killed him officially? The heart attack or driving 80 mph in a school zone?
>>223591493The 60s? I've read articles from the 20s about how wrestling is fake. Here's a video from 1945 talking about it.>https://youtube.com/watch?v=vGAqYNFQdZ4
>>223594760Based Hulkster.
never cared for wwe or wresting in general, but i just love Steve Austint. just watch his monologues and whatnot on yt
>>223590825rednecks are stupid
>>223590825Attitude Era Raw was a trashy redneck siap opera with like four minutes of actual wrestling per episode. It attracted a lot of younger viewers because it had swearing and boobs, but it was pretty stupid and tacky.
>>223592857>characterLike all the greats, he was his character.
>>223593550jej
>>223593029Get a load of this mark-ass jabroni workin' himself into a shoot
It was before breaking bad. So people didn’t know tv could be good.
Why did Vince let Pat Patterson and Mel Phillips gay rape all those kids?
>>223594803this guys seems so fucking weird and off putting. does he not have a media crew to advise him against releasing creepy ass videos like that and the chink ones? hes way too desperate to "make it" and im sure hes the type that would do gay4pay
>>223595020>>223595054no siap saar
>>223595166Somebody had to do it.
>>223595462Welcome to your first AEW sicko. Their life is anti-wwe because Daddy touched their "no-no spot" during RAW.
>>223591493it wasn't common knowledge until the 80s. my grandfather was obsessed with wrestling and believed wholeheartedly to his dying breath that it was 100% real. granted, he died before guys like Undertaker came on the scene, but still.
>>223595807They're still doing dangerous stuntman work. Like Ricky Steamboat getting his face bashed off the concrete by accident. Then certain guys would work stiff, like Honky Tonk Man smashing Jake the Snake with the guitar.Just coked-out roidmonkeys ad-libbing fake drama in-character while perfoming athletic feats. What's not to like?
>>223591369They wanted to put John Cena on a box of Fruity Pebbles.
>>223595851obviously, but I mean he believed Hogan and Andre's grudge was absolutely real, that the Sgt Slaughter was actually in the military, and so on.
>>223594956Fucking 200 IQ move by the Hulkster.
>>223590060He wasn't even the biggest wrestler on TV
>>223590825wcw lost cause wwf just had better production value and more interesting characterstheres a reason you see 8 trillion reaction images/gifs from the attitude era and almost non from wcwwcw relied too hard on the nwo which got stale after a year but they just never got the memo
>>223596044>wwf just had better production valueNot true
>>223596088nah wcw was shot in a very flat, boring, shit way 95% of the timewith wwf the camera was almost always in the right spot for whatever was happening and it made every moment pop that much more
>>223592631And thank god he didn't because Shane doesn't know how to run a wrestling promotion, let alone an MMA one. >>223596044>more interesting characters WCW had plenty of talented wrestlers and great characters. It's just that Eric Bischoff has his head up Hogans ass and was riding the NWO wave thinking the good times were going to last forever, dude had Sting, Rey Mysterio, Steve Austin, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Jericho, Ultimo Dragon, Scott Steiner, Diamond Dallas Page, Goldberg, Ric Flair, Cactus Jack, Bret Hart, Sid Vicious, Big Van Vader, etc. etc. The dumbass had a whole roster of great talent but instead, he chose to play it safe and just stick to plots centered around Hogan and the NWO, Eric's a grade A dumbass, they actually teach business students about the fall of WCW, that's how bad he fucked up.
>>223595166Don't forget Terry Garvin and probably Jim BarnettBut seriously why did Vince surround himself with gay nonces?
>>223592919
>Jake "The Based" Roberts
>>223596336Jake outlived both Savage and Elizabeth and he'll probably outlive Hebner.
>>223590172lol
>>223596117Better production than AEW. Admit that, little boy.
The only people stupider than people who thought it was real are the people who thought it was real and became performative haters about it when they found out it was fake, and maybe became an MMA/boxing dudebro.
>>223596237It's amazing how fast WCW went down. I was a kid and I remember the quality fall off around mid-99 and it seemed like forever getting to March of 01 when it was finally sold. And that it was sold so cheaply has led to conspiracy theories about the sales legality.
>>223596237>they actually teach business students about the fall of WCW, that's how bad he fucked upWhat do business books say? But in any case, it was AOLTimeWarner that killed WCW. The fact that WCW had a couple down years is nothing in the big picture. They were still getting ratings much higher than wrestling companies do today, and yet it "failed". No, it could have kept going. Pulling the plug was a choice by the anti-wrestling people at the network.
>>223596425That's so "Guy in an affliction t-shirt in 2009 who does BJJ and asks you if The Undertaker still wrestles."
Is Goldberg a Jew?
>>223596449A wrestling promotion with no TV deal isn't even worth what Vince paid.
>>223591575>You forgetting this thing called UFC came alongthat was like ten years later. I still dont know why wrestling fell off so hard in the 90's. on one hand you could say it was because everyone learned it was fake buut it had been around since the mid eighties. the other way to look at it is goldfish brain normalfags moving onto the next thing
>>223596461It's a work. The only shoot Jew in wrestling is Irwin R. Shyster
>>223596473It fell off because they went publicly traded and sponsors started pulling out because stuff got too edgy.
>>223596422WCW always had great production value, it looked bright and crisp on TV (although the edgy rebrand was questionable). WWF looked like a mom-and-pop shop in comparison, with dark smokey rooms and blurry cameras. Only in 1998 did they finally start to get brighter lights and better production. Although some people might prefer the "raw" look of the less polished presentation.
>>223596486the wwf was publicly traded in the 90's?>oh shit the ipo was in 99kek. damn thats crazy
>>223596237Hogan was the biggest draw thet had. When they gave younger talent the spotlight with thd New Blood angle, ratings dropped.
>>223596578Ratings were behind WWF but were still waaaay better than tv wrestling ratings have been in the last 20 years.
Paul and his buddy HBGay ruined WWF/WWE. Reign of terror killed pretty much the mainstream popularity they had. His buddy could help prevent the reign (he was red-hot when he returned in 2002) but he's too busy being a christcuck and being second fiddle to Paul, instead of feuding and passing the belt to more promising wrestlers.
>>223596504Shut up. You tell your girlfriends over on /pw/ 24 hours until I come back and smoke em like a pack of Juuls.Here on /tv/ we discuss Sports Entertainment. And sweaty, nobody beats WWF.
/tv/ is a Diesel board
>>223596252He was obviously latent himself.
>>223596961Are the rumours true...?
>>223596961I got banned from /pw/ for making a Kevin Nash thread.
>>223596504This. They had access to time warners cameras, camera crew, and production. The WWF looked very amateurish in comparison.
>>223596237sad story
>>223596961big sexy himself great taste
>>223597588I got banned for saying I'd pay $300 to have a sexy female wrestler beat me up.Fortunately, /tv/ allows us to discuss WWF without censorship. It's an E-God board, brother.
>>223597588good. it was only fun during asp. you idiots spam meme from 2010's.
>>223597642i meant asp days. you know there was wwe general on /sp/ later wwe stuff moved to /asp/ finally they created /pw/
>uh ackshully only my sub-clique was based not yours
>>223590172literally this was when everyone got the internet and knew the innerworkings of how it was faked
>>223597667Internet ruined a lot of things and actually gave rise to David Meltzer the anti-christ
>Royal Rumble 2000>Mae Young showing off her wrinkly floppy granny tittiesIf you watched it live, I share your pain. That shit will stick with me until the day I die.
I enjoy dark of the ring, that is all.
>>223597811Me and all my friends at the same time. We brought it up every ppv.
>>223597886bet u do bbcslut
>>223590060The Kliq
>>223595299I've seen him do a lot of stuff for kids and charity, and it always made him seem like he was a decent guy. But I've seen other people do that and they're also chill outside of the charity stuff, but Cena seems like a complete prick outside of it. Like it's a show for publicity, which is what a lot of cynics say about celebrities and charity, but he also seems to put too much work in for it to be publicity. It's very weird. He's almost a Ryan Giggs type of dickhead in public. Almost.
>>223597640>I'd pay $300 to have a sexy female wrestler beat me upwhich one?
Would the WWE be better today if all of those women hadn't made false stories up about Vince and he was still in charge instead of HHH?
>>223591369To be honest it was done the day Stone Cold Walked away. He was the personification of the attitude era. Vince too was needed you needed both of them to make it work. They were the focus, I mean you had other great characters but they didn’t carry the business or the attitude era after stone cold left. A bunch of them went to TNA but hell that didn’t take over. The closest you really got was lucha underground but only parts of it really had that attitude era spirit, the rest was Lucha style, mystical bullshit, and zog bullshit
>>223591369Blame Chris Benoit and what he did. WWE was scrutinized again and so they had to appease everyone.
>>223596273lol
>>223599765Vince has been shit since PG ear.
>>223601700*PG era
Wrestling is gay. If you like it, you're a faggot.
>>223596961Big Zesty
>>223601700Vince has never been a good booker. Every single boom period in the WWF has been carried by generational talents being handed to him, with an immediate slump when they leave. Hogan shows up in the mid 80s, wrestling gets big, Hogan leaves, New Generation era slump until Austin and Rock show up and the cycle repeats. Star power has always been the biggest factor. It's why nobody cares about midcard shitters like Sami Zayn and CM Punk winning the belt.
>>223590172People are coping in the replies but most people believed it was real at the time. It tore the country apart in the 90’s-up to even the 2010’s. Eventually wrestling fans acknowledged their homoerotic novellas were scripted and began to change the narrative to marveling at their “stunts” It still plays a very big role in repressed homosexuality culture. TLDR: it was a different time
For me it's Sabu vs. RVD
>>223590060it was great Greek theater with reality TV elements, surprised people don't understand this basic fact
>>223590988>the dude playing Cena nuts in 20 seconds, they tell him to get the fuck outCenationbros..
>>223597642maybe on planet retard
>>223602048It was approaching over when Kurt Angle's cheesy ahh started enroaching on the show. It was completely over once John Cena was in.
>>223592919simply irresistible to warriors
>>223590060awful time to consume entertainment
>>223595299>>223599312I think Cena's problem is that he is just a PR robot. It feels like he does everything he is told to do to the T. Every interview where they ask him remotely serious questions, he gives the most political non-answers. He constantly uses corporate marketing buzzwords, and generally advocates for "the system" whether it be WWE, Hollywood, Saudi Arabia or China. He just says whatever the people paying him want advertised. A ton of celebs do this, but the difference with Cena is that it is all he ever does. He has absolutely no personality or any interests outside of work. There are a few stories of him drinking with the boys early in his WWE run, but they all stop around 2009. After he became the brand ambassador, fruity pebbles, Fred movie guy. He's probably just autistic but he's one of the few human beings I've seen that I genuinely believe does not have a soul.
>>223595299>and im sure hes the type that would do gay4payThat's more or less what he did at the Oscars
>>223599312>I've seen him do a lot of stuff for kids and charity, and it always made him seem like he was a decent guy.That's literally why celebs do charity stuff, to appear like good guys to the public. How do people not get that.
>>223604836In fairness to Cena. He did Make-A-Wish for years before his visits were publicized. Though I do agree he's become more of a politician in the last decade.
>>223590762I can't unserstand how people still watch pro-wrestling. And I do mean the plots. It's fucking retarded.>Hans Grüber, you may have been a champion in Germany...but don't you ever disrespect the united states of America! On Thursday night Nuke-o-Rama, in the Nassau Colliseum, you'll get a chance to see how a real american fights!>Waits a minute, Joe Nickels! Ah yu going to explain to me, Hans Grüber, 5 time heavyweight TSCHEMPION of de Bundeslaender, dat you have a SINGLE chance of defeating me on Thursday Night Nyuk-o-Wama in the Nassau Colliseum, when you hev been eccused multiple times of holding the Intercontinental Heavyweight title on a MYAH TECHNIKELITY?
>>223604947It's just a fun stunt show. Don't overthink it.
>>223592919Can we get a 92 up in here?
>>223590988I don't care what anyone says, Chyna could be really hot sometimes. Especially when she wore shit like this that really accentuated her features, and made her muscular-physique very attractive. You're just gay if you wouldn't want to bang this, sorry to say.
>>223605170Didn't she have a penis or something?
>>223605170>t.
>>223605170>made her muscular-physique very attractiveIt's actually drawing attention away from her muscular physique by giving the impression of having big tits and hips. Those man traps and shoulders are still very apparent though
>>223596961Get those rags off him

>>223590060>>223590186>>223591695As a wrestler he was the shit but I'll never forgive him for cockblocking Debra from appearing in playboy. What a fucking simp.

>>223596461Too high t, if he is he's highly mixed with germanic or slav
>>223596378God bless DDP

For me? It's the King.https://youtu.be/vhgwRIP3dQU?si=px16SL0D71-VAiSN
>>223594774This, unlike Hulk Hogan and the Rock he basically disappeared from the public consciousness. Do zoomers even know who he is?
>>223597640>>223612282Steve is huge in the podcast world. Top 3 /pw/ podcasts:1.) Talk Is Jericho2.) SCSA Podcast3.) Hot Tag with Izzy
>>223612282He makes enough money on residuals from t-shirt sales to live comfortably, so probably?
>>223605170Chyna and Xena from Goldeneye ruined my life
>>223612331>GoldeneyeNow that was the motherfuckin game! Probably the best game ever based on a film.
>>223590943Francine was gorgeous and it's too bad she never caught on anywhere after ecw died. She's like 55 now probably and still looks good for age.
>>223612660I wish there was more dirt on her like there was on Sunny (blew Sabu for a handful of somas while Sandman watched) = HOT!
>>223612660 I was more of a Beulah McGillicutty kinda guy. Francine looks she has been ridden hard and put up wet now.
>>223612816Oh yeah, 110% Buelah over Francine. Like anon said tho Francine aged better than any other ring rat. Buelah looks like a chainsmoking sumo wrestler.
>>223599286>The KliqThey took over prowrestling. Had HBK not retired early to find GOD, who knows?
WHAAAAT
>>223594949The 20s? Christian Saints from 380 AD knew it was a work>like those persons who in the theatres perform wrestling matches in public, but not that kind of wrestling in which the victory is won according to the rules of the sport, but a kind to deceive the eyes of those who are ignorant in such matters, and to catch applause
>>223613176BEAT DEBRA

romansisters...
>>223603616it was over when they started putting restraints on Russo's storylines.
>>223603616>ahhDid you cum in the middle of typing or have you people discovered a new way to be bad at using your own first language.
>>223612816>Beulah McGillicuttyBro, that's like the western slopes of the Appalachians, a name which will never be followed by the initials c.e.o., that's the white equivalent of seeing "Raekwon Green" in a business card.
