I'm playing SDvR2011 and I forgot how infuriating the CPU reversing shit is. Good God. Like 8 out of 10 moves getting reversed. Absolute, utter bullshit...

If Bret and HBK went in 96, WWF might be done for.
By late 97, it doesn't matter. WCW had no chance by the start of 1998. It was just a matter of time...

Vince,"We've already got too many Sheltons as it is." yeah, I said in another thread no more of this casual racist they all look a like shit. It's a joke from Vince! Yeah, don't care. It's still making some of our posters uncomfortable. This is my last warning. No more. It's done. STOP IT EVERYONE. Bleck.

Eva has never looked so much like an android, and that's saying something. Please, Eva is gorgeous, Kelly Kelly looks more like an android. I'm not saying she always looks like one, but she definitely does in this GIF. Being attractive doesn't change the fact that her facial expression doesn't change one bit in it...

Higher Power. Vince does all this shit just to show Austin how far he'd go to make his life a living hell? It's AWFUL, contrived writing that just restarted a feud that didn't need to be restarted. It's such a shame, too. Austin - Vince was so good at first. Early on both sides had a legitimate point for their actions. Shades of gray, like everyone claims the Attitude Era was. A year and a half later and Vince is this cartoonish villain in a druid costume and Austin is the CEO of the WWF. It was so stupid. 1999 WWF was awful and this was an example of why. Vince had no stable character traits after this. He just became this caricature who would just randomly turn face and heel for questionable reasons. Higher Power started it all, and that it's without question THE angle in which the character jumped the shark...

Heres what happens. There will be one Crusierweight Title match in the first hour that will last about 10 minutes. Nothing of substance will ever come of the division but the announcers will tell us every week how amazing it is and how its only on Monday nights. A couple months down the line they'll be losing to shitty hosses and whoever senile Vince decides to get behind that couple of weeks.
It's so typical WWE too. There's this new exciting thing that was a success outside of the brand, that RAW could never have the competence or patience to build on its on, and the big red goblin just gobbles it up and does nothing with it. Like every year in the drafts when they'd raid the SD and ECW roster, do jack shit with those guys they took, and then hand SD and ECW all the guys they ruined to be built back up again, just so they could take them back a year or two. Ugh. f*** off.

Not the topic I thought it was going to be. If it was the typical fan question, I would vote Dana. She has got some nice curves I thought that too, and was going to say Dana. Summer is the definition of generic skinny blonde appearance wise...

I liked it. A hell of alot better than his current day masked look. Pale, flabby, cheap looking gear, awful fake hair, terrible mask. Awful.

Not a chance in hell they'd waste 98 Stone Cold on shitty Dr Death. No one gave a shit about him prior to this, and no one would have given a shit about him if he won. Same way no one gave a f*** about Bart Gunn once he won. This was the Monday Night Wars. You don't just hand out feuds to people who aren't massively over cause they have a friend in management and did something (that no one in the then current day audience knows about) in another fed years prior. This guy was never getting a main event push in 98. Ever. Anyone who believes it would have been carried out is deluding themselves. The notion of Steve Williams getting a brief program with Steve Austin because he had a friend in management is as silly as The Rock having to feud with a not that over Billy Gunn or broken down Bulldog, Triple H having a high profile feud with Eugene, Brock Lesnar having to feud with Bob Holly or CM Punk at his hottest having to feud with a near 20 years past his prime Kevin Nash, the WWF/E is too well booked for things like that to happen... Except all the times it hasn't been. This is 1998, peak of Monday Night Wars WWF. Billy Gunn got a feud cause they were obsessed with pushing him for some reason and the WWF had easily won the war by that point. Eugene was massively over in the Summer of 2004. Lesnar had a short feud with Holly cause he had nothing to do for a month leading into WM 20 and Holly had his neck broken by Brock. CM Punk feuded with Nash likely because WWE didn't want CM Punk to continue being easily the most over guy in the company. Austin had PLENTY to do in 98. This was before Vince had 30 shitty Hollywood writers to try and convince himself he wasn't the carny that he is, so shit wasn't just being thrown against the wall to see what sticks. Also, like I said this was during the peak of the MNW. Not one week could be wasted to give some nobody a main event against the biggest name in the company as a favor to an executive. Let alone an actual program. The only possible way would be if Dr Death was to get majorly over, and that was never ever going to happen.

This was WWEs chance to present a product that could be in some way better than the boom periods. You could compare it to the Attitude Era or the 80s and say "this is much better". CM Punk during this short time was better than those characters and different enough to be the face of a new, better era. Someone like Cena never head that movement. His character is incapable of surpassing those characters because he's not different enough, so few adult fans would ever prefer him and he just is a reminder of whats lost. Punk in this time was a guy adults could look at and be reminded or aware of what has been gained.
Also, unless WWE was just monumentally stupid, Summerslam 2011 was just them trying to cut out Punks legs from under him. His character was head and Punks August-November 2011 should have never happened. There was absolutely no reason for Del Rio and Superman to trade the title over that time. Cena AGAIN couldn't put over Punk clean at Summerslam. He loses to Conway Pop circa 2011 after a return that f***ing NO ONE wanted with Kevin Nash. Punk is pinned at NOC, a Triple Threat at HIAC, and takes the pin in a tag team match against The Miz and R Truth while teaming with the guy in charge of the WWE. The big rebel TEAMS with authority and has to be the one to take the pin. Either WWE was unfathomably stupid or they did it on purpose to stop his momentum since was easily head and shoulders above everyone on the roster in terms of performance, reaction, and character at the time. For all of Vinces horseshit about "brass rings", NO ONE in the modern era grabbed it with more intensity than CM Punk that previous summer.
I think the best thing Punk did long term was kick in the door for guys like DB and Owens. Without Punk, the fans may have not realized they just had to refuse to give up on Daniel Bryan and WM 30 would have ended with an awful Orton-Batista match...

It's annoying when they do the "STOP BEATING HIM UP" in the corner stuff when its convenient but stomping a guy in the corner (which would cause much more damage than punches) is usually okay.

WWEs in storyline stuff in 2014 was insane. DB winning title. The streak ending. Cena squashed at Summerslam. Sting debuts in WWE. If the rumble had a huge moment, this would have easily been the year with the biggest moments on the big four...
