Isn't it great seeing current WWE wrestlers retreating in fear from 50+ year old men who can barely walk? WWE continues to show us that its current product is inferior to what happened 20 years ago. So, why should anybody watch? Why not just watch old shows?

That's what I do The nice thing is I realized I stopped watching as much in late 99 (when Stone Cold had his neck surgery), so I am watching all of this content for the first time. I've deliberately avoided the Something to Wrestle podcasts about events/wrestlers during this period, and I even allow myself to mark out a bit during the surprises/swervesWhy not just watch old shows?

Ever after the dozens and dozens of times a year we see the legends, when they were all standing out on the stage at the end was the first time I actually felt that it was sad. They all just looked so old and I felt a bit sad for them. And I don't want to see gray haired, overweight, trouble walking DX out there. Just let me have the memories from highschool. Thank God Austin still looks like an ass kicker in his 50's and doesn't show up that often so it's always awesome when he does.
And as usual the Ron Simmons "Damn" spot was perfect and got a good laugh from me.

Yeah Austin is one of the few who legit looks like he could still go out there and kick some ass. Well him and Santino.

Did DX age in dog years since their last old school appearance? I mean I know these guys are now all in their 50s, but it looked like their aged a good 5-10 years from the RAW 25 show last year.Ever after the dozens and dozens of times a year we see the legends, when they were all standing out on the stage at the end was the first time I actually felt that it was sad.

It was funny seeing Nash try to get Stone Colds attention, and SC completely ignored him, which left Nash quietly sipping beer.

In vintage X-Pac form, you could see him trying to get in the front of the camera shot towards the tail end of the broadcast with Stone Cold. He's such a little sht.

But Mash still has the look. Maybe keeping up for movie stuff?

HA. I missed the segment where Sami Zayn said the show looked like the Attitude Era through the FaceApp.

What did the Boogeyman do to be in such good graces with the WWE? I can't recall a single match of his. I only remember spot appearances here an there.

I'll be honest, I don't remember much about him. I vaguely remember him feuding with JBL when he first came up, but not much else. Even going through his wiki page, I don't remember most of the stuff posted. But that was also around the time where I had stopped watching.What did the Boogeyman do to be in such good graces with the WWE? I can't recall a single match of his.

I almost forgot these two briefly crossed paths at WM.

All Elite Wrestling to Launch on TNT Wednesdays in October
https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/aew-tn ... 203277974/
They'll be on Wednesdays from 8-10 pm beginning October 2nd at Capital One Arena in DC. We know they can put on a good wrestling shows, but a weekly "episodic" show with overarching storylines is much harder than that. I hope they succeed.

I hope they succeed as well, but as you said running weekly tv is much more difficult than doing one off events.

Just got an email from WWE saying Lesnar will be at Pittsburgh’s Raw on the 5th. And it’s 2 for 1. Still a pass.

The more I think about it the more I don’t think AEW should be live. It would be so much more cost effective to have episodes in the can and also would be easier to keep talent fresh.

Cheaper for sure, but the results would be out immediately so what's the point of watching?The more I think about it the more I don’t think AEW should be live. It would be so much more cost effective to have episodes in the can and also would be easier to keep talent fresh.

Basically, how NXT is, they have the live results on reddit almost immediately, and the episodes don't come out right away.
