I love how there is still weird things that happened that year that still haven't been mentioned, Remember when Mace was on the RAW commentary team for a month, and then he got destroyed by Brock Lesnar and that was it? Holy shit I have absolutely just the vaaaaaaguest memories of this that got pulled from the absolute back of my brain. What a weird commentary team. Mace, Vic Joseph and Jerry Lawler. Didn't even hate Maces pop culture based commentary either. Can't even remember how long that team actually lasted. Mace went and Tom Phillips replaced Vic. I'm at a blind spot over when Lawler left.

Not a bad thing as the vibe of the thread seems to imply, but still… DUDE CUT A PROMO ON A BURGER. Oh man I gotta dip in to hot take territory for a second I don't think Eco Warrior Bryan was *bad* (especially cause Bryan at this point might have been legit the best heel in the world) but seeing it again just reminds me that there was so little to care about that funny evil environmentalist man was one of the most noteworthy things in the company.

The hard part of trying to articulate incredibly mixed feelings on the gimmick in retrospect is the fact that Bryan and the shit he was getting up to like the hemp belt was still absolutely amazing lmao

Kurt Angle was still wrestling in 2019, long after he should have retired.

Chad Gable not only surviving this but thriving afterwards is genuinely superhuman he got so over during the King of the Ring... only to immediately be saddled with this shit.

When does he start wrestling in those f***ing basketball shorts? I remember seeing dude during this time just thinking like LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY.

I remember seeing dude during this time just thinking like LOOK HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY. PRobably like immediately after that promo, when he started coming out as Shorty G. You know the olympic level professional wrestler who was clearly bullied for being... *checks notes* Average height.

I just heard Shorty G's theme for the first time and I'm losing it. This sounds like sexy gay firefighter strippers type beat.

IIRC, this was his last appearance on main TV before reappearing in 2020 as Mace of Retribution.

Was that the year of the wedding when Liv and Lana were supposed to be a lesbian couple?

Wasn’t it because Sonya and Mandy had pitched a lesbian storyline which was rejected and then they got annoyed that they decided to do it with Lana and Liv instead? Which I can totally understand if true because at least Sonya is actually gay.
