This was the worst part of it all for me. I hate when WWE just have characters act completely opposite of what they're supposed to just to get another scowling face on TV. They damage the integrity of characters where there's zero reason to. Del Rio being upset that Daniel Bryan's having a hard time only serves as a distraction, it didn't help anything. Del Rio more than anyone should be trying to get all nice with the new regime, that's what slimy heels do. Why would he make it hard on himself? Makes ya miss the days when forty guys came out to attack the Undertaker cuz they were heels. |

If only WWE was as good at crafting fresh and compelling story lines, as they are at instilling (much warranted) pessimism in the IWC .
And yes, this is well worn territory. But I'm holding out hope, that this will be a well told version, of an oft-told tale.

You just know that some how, some way the Big Show is going to run in to make a save for Bryan and then chokeslam him and join up.

The Mcmahon grandchildren regime is bound to be just as tedious. Luckily for you and me, we'll be too damned senile for it to make a difference. I have a feeling the three sisters decide that they're not into wrestling and decide to sell their shares of the WWE to a Yemeni oil consortium and turns the WWE into foxy boxing. I just hope my dementia doesn't kick in until after that happens. If this culminates in an epic revolt angle, I'd mark the hell right out. They already did that once. They lost confidence in Hunter when the WWE was being ransacked by the formidable tandem of R-Truth and the Miz. They made the Two Man Power Trip look like the Fabulous Rougeau Brothers. This time, Hunner can't protect the girls; the girls have to be protected from him. That sounded less creepy before I typed it out that way. |

Jarrett was who I thought of first too, solely cuz at that time he had the strangest attire for what his character was supposed to be imaginable. |

This is what it's like when the top face is actually an underdog.
Stone Cold was fighting the bosses, but no matter what he always got to get one up on them. Cena got the label a lot, but no one truly bought that he couldn't win any of those matches.

Like he made his outfit out of the fabric of the tackiest floral recliner at a southern thrift store. |

He did spring for those giant light up novelty sunglasses though. |

Jeff Jarrett's original theme is still one of my favorite themes of all time. It was sooooooooo corny that I actually dug it.

Oh his theme was great, it's just his outfits that were odd.
Full confession, a buddy and I much preferred country to rap at the time, so we rooted for Double J in his battle with Mabel, even though he was the heel. We were quite glad when he pulled off the victory.

Didn't think I would enjoy it all that much but I'm really enjoying HHH as the tyrant who does what's best for "DIS BUSINESS!" and Daniel Bryan being the resilient competitor fighting for what he thinks is rightfully his.
Is it the same angle that's been done before? Yeah. However, I think it's much easier to get invested into this one because of the alleged real life reputations of everyone involved.
They could just as easily blow this thing all to hell no doubt but they haven't done that yet.

To be fair, in 1995, the mullet was a symbol of an ascending main eventer. Jeff had nothing on HBK in that regard. |

I love how this suddenly turned into a thread about 90s Jeff Jarrett.
