Shawn Michaels when he turned on Jannetty. Hell, it was so bad Marty tried to escape out the window. Will you stop!

Hurricanranas almost always look like utter shit. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone release their legs too early and then the other wrestler just awkwardly flips.

Part of the problem was he was presented as a heel going into the match, won that match as if he were a babyface, including getting the kudos from the prior champ, then the next time we see him, he's calling the fans losers, then at the end of that same night he's put in a sympathetic light after being betrayed by his own group. There's too much tonal whiplash right off the starting block to feel much of anything. All of this. He was quite possibly the least sympathetic face in WWE history. Why am I supposed to cheer for a douchebag frat boy who gets kicked out of his group?

Genuinely some of the worst wrestling TV ever seen. I think even New Gen Raw was often more watchable Agreed. This era was just embarrassing. I became a fan in 1985 and this era was the straw that finally broke the camel's back. I've only watched sporadically since then.

Heels that act like disingenuous babyfaces. "Hometown hero" MJF, mid-2015 New Day and especially "The Inspirational" Bo Dallas are all characters I loved. Absolutely this. Kurt Angle in his rookie year is my favorite example of this.

And then it just ended didn't it? His contract ran out and they couldn't agree to terms and the only resolution was a blurb on wwe.com. They even removed him from Smackdown vs Raw that year. Yeah, I'm pretty sure he just disappeared after Wrestlemania XX.

Royal Rumble 2003 WWE Title: Benoit v Angle in a classic World Title: Scott Steiner v HHH in a dud.Why did that need to go 17 minutes? I was at that show. It was unbearable to see it live.

Wasn't there an Austin vs. HHH match when they were both heels in the fall of 96?

How long until Gene announces due to popular demand we're announcing 60 more shows! >_> Nope, Gene goes dumber, and teams with George Lucas Industrial Light And Magic, and KISS becomes a avatar only band going forward. Jesus Christ.

I've been on this forum for nearly two decades, and the Sweatsock Lothario thread is STILL my favorite thing that has ever happened here. And here it is for those who are interested in taking a trip down memory lane. Some of the replies still make me laugh til it hurts. Fricken' Sweatsock... Glorious. Absolutely glorious.

He called him Sweatsock! I repeat, Zane called Jose Lothario Sweatsock! I've been on this forum for nearly two decades, and the Sweatsock Lothario thread is STILL my favorite thing that has ever happened here.

So weird to see Scott with hair. or Charlie for that matter. hes always looked like Great Value David Arquette to me. Charlie with hair looks like late KISS drummer Eric Carr.

Marc Mero wasn't really THAT over in the Attitude era. Johnny B Badd was over in WCW I actually liked his Wild Man Marc Mero run but the general consensus at the time was that he was a bust Wildman Marc Mero seemed pretty over in 1996 (Which I do not consider Attitude Era) but once he got injured and came back as Marvelous Marc....yeah, not at all.

Now I'm curious, is this one of the few matches with 100% clean match finish ratio? No. There were shenanigans when Debra defeated Sable in one because Shawn Michaels changed the rules mid-match.

Demolition turned heel during their last reign. And turned face during their first reign.

Swapping some of the best years of his career for winning the NWA Title off Slapnuts then losing it the very next show, joining SEX and stumbling across a dwarf spanking his plank in a garbage can? Don't think so. Still more dignified than being managed by Jose lothario Literally ANYTHING is more dignified than being managed by Jose Lothario.

Don't have one yet, but I'm hoping to pick up an Unleash The Archers shirt at their show on the 20th. I love them!!
