there's one segment that never gets mentioned, but ultimately might be just as egregious as the Katie Vick angle. in late 98, Kane and Paul bearer dug up the molding caskets of the undertakers parents and brought them into the arena, the segment ended with kane burning his fathers casket, and chock slamming the undertaker through his mothers casket, and they even went as far as to zoom in on the worms crawling on her bones as Taker lay unconscious, literally in his mothers rotting remains.

@Roflcrabs 2 года назад

I only got into wrestling when I was like 8 during the Attitude era and I never felt like the Road Warriors were too old or dated. Their gimmick just seemed timeless and their look I felt wouldn't really age so long as they stayed in shape. I kinda just missed out on them but I really wanted to see more.

@Fluoride_Jones Год назад

+Rafael Crabs I'm forty-three now, so I've been watching them since the '80s, when they were in AWA, but I always thought they looked so fucking cool and badass, even when I was a little kid, because they did! Many of their classic matches can be found for free on YT. I'm assuming since you posted your comment a year ago that you have already sought them out, but if you haven't, I'd HIGHLY recommend it! 👍

Kudos to Adam for not saying "Choppy, choppy" during the Val Venis/Kai-En-Tai bit, and let's all universally agree that Vince Russo should stay away from any wrestling promotion becuase of the sheer number of crap he's done. Before seeing them on this list, I remember every single one and wish I could forget. Heel play by play doesn't work if they're portrayed as insufferable. You'd think Vince would learn from both failures, but I'm expecting him to have Cole's replacement (if that happens) become a Heel and be portrayed as insufferable.
