Flair's part is, pardon the pun, gold. I want either him to appear wearing a wig trying to look like it's the 1980s, or a guy dressed like him with the voice dubbed over. I'm pretty sure it's AJ Styles doing the voice.

When was the last time the company produced something that received this level of almost-universal praise?
It almost seems like hyperbolic apples-to-oranges, comparing wacky YouTube content to something like, say, Daniel Bryan breaking through the glass ceiling, but I'm struggling to think of anything else that got this much love on the interwebs.

Rusev as Big Bart isn't my favorite part, but it is the most brilliant part.
Come on, the Eastern European playing the Hillbilly Jim analog? Brilliant Reversal of the whole "Krusher Khruschev" style of gimmick.

HAHAHA! I forgot they were doing the upstate circuit of house shows! They were in Albany yesterday, they probably went past Utica on the way from Syracuse. Nice.

In his second promo, Big Bartholomew describes himself as a broken man. Tell me you wouldn't pay to see "Broken" Bartholomew? "Creature of the Sea... I knew you'd come!" What would happen if Sea Creature swam in the Lake of Reincarnation? Edit: Wait...what if Sea Creature is from the Lake of Reincarnation I'm telling you, there are enough connections to the Brokenverse that this could all feasibly happen.

I was curious to see his reaction. This parody clearly comes from a place of love not of mockery. You can tell from all the subtlety put into it that all of these guys were big fans of these older and smaller territories. Hell there's hardly anyone in the company these days that didn't first cut their teeth in the Indies. I bet, say, Jerry Lawler wouldn't be nearly as uptight about this as Corny is. Technically, no one is. I like Jim, but his slavish devotion to kayfabe and not having any fun always makes it hard to root for him.

This is not my comment but I thought it was pretty funny it's off Cena's Instagram.
I was there back in 1987. There was this news anchor, Lance Catamaran I think. Started off strong. Then seemed to do divide the audience. Not sure why. He was difficult to see.

But I agree, I don't really think you can compare those things to this without it being apples to oranges.....
