Nah , Jarrett doing his challenge and having people react so angry over it was priceless. The crowd clearly had guys wanting to kill him and he picks plants in audience was perfect.

It was 90's and politically incorrect as the company would proclaim in promos. The entire spot was shown in Rise & Fall of ECW DVD where Kimona and Belush both start making out with Tommy who holds em apart comically. This Rusev angle seems tame by comparison to that 20+ years ago.Sweet, because as everyone knows when your girlfriend cheats on you with a woman it means they want to have a threesome with you
I do remember when Heyman was told by Vince in early 2000's he had to do a big soap opera angle and Paul being a genius then didn't want to waste any of his top talent in it. He had Angle , Edge , Benoit etc . So what Paul did was the Al Wilson/Dawn Marie storyline where she was seducing a much older man and threw him into heart attack.

Yeah, for better or for worse, I think ECW had that effect on wrestling. It sort of made high spots and no selling big moves far more common place. Not that Foley and Jeff Hardy didn't leave a pretty lasting impression too... but I think WWE handling that sort of thing very different than ECW did back in the day. Originally Posted by HUTHAIFA

I had always wondered where Kimona had disappeared since she left ECW a few months after the whole angle mentioned above in 1996. Well 2-3 years later she actually was in WCW's dying days of 1999-2001. She played Leai Meow (a cheerleader/valet) for the New Varsity Club team awhile. Then moved to the Jung Dragons where she played an Asian type dominatrix who would beat up Yang and others if they disappointed her lol.

I don't know why he's so upset. All those fans that keep making fun of him are already leaving in droves. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

The ones leaving are the casuals, who don't bother making fun of him to begin with. The ones bothering to complain are the sames who complained about Cena or Roman week after week after week, etc. Originally Posted by wjowski

Casuals and deep, non-family investors. FYI. Those are who are leaving. Public stake is hurting due to their deals with the Saudi government. They lost 2/3 value since last year and the XFL take is their overage. Originally Posted by XPac

Vince will never have to worry over the company honestly. The moment Fox handed them $1 billion dollars to air Smackdown the next 4-5 years the times of worry is over. Vince its joked could run Brock Lesnar into the fucking ground and build no one for the next 4-5 years and he won't be hurt.

I doubt Fox just handed them a blank check. If Smackdown's ratings keep hemorrhaging numbers like this, expect them to exercise a loophole that'll leave Vince over a barrel. Originally Posted by SUPERECWFAN1

I'm sure there is an out clause somewhere , but Vince isn't a moron with TV contracts. I'm sure there is an out clause with a penalty if Fox tries to pull out of the TV deal. Everyone knew Fox over-paid for NFL and WWE TV rights when they did the deal. Originally Posted by wjowski

Which I think was Seths point. People cheered Cena and Roman till they got to the top, and the same thing happened with Seth. Originally Posted by BigLbo

With Cena, fans were frustrated that his character progression came to a halt once he reached the top and stopped being interesting. It wasn't helped that he demolished a couple of fan favorites among the way but that's not on him. Roman was given the top spot during a period when he wasn't ready and said spot was handed to him. Coming off the breakup of the Shield most fans wanted Moxley for the spot. Originally Posted by XPac

Fandom is fickle, if you believe that there is consensus with all of us. We are fandom, and we don't agree all the time. Hell, we strongly disagree a good share of the time. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon

and right now, both cena and roman get more cheers than seth. cena gets cheered out of respect since his career is winding down. and roman hasn't been in a title picture since he came back from leukima and thus not shoved down our faces all the time. Originally Posted by Immortal Weapon
