Things that WWE Network Vault reminded you of / that you learned
- Thread starter Ed MOTHERFUCKING G
- Start date
I always wondered what they did or who they knew to be able to always be at these shows and in the front like they were. Vlad had me
on one of these 93 Raws where he was going hard during M.O.M's entrance
wwe had such an embarrassment of riches in 2002 roster wise, that this match was on a taped Smackdown. in 2016 it would have headlined a PPVhe was bigger than brock during their match.

Rikish hitting a giant splash from the top of a cage on Val Venis at Fully Loaded 2000 is an underrated Attitude era moment.

According to a fan who met Vlad at Wrestlemania 29
Idk if I believe that though. There's got to be more to the story because we're not counting airfare and hotel (these guys were spotted all over the country and apparently were residents of NYC), and no one that I know that works gets that many days off per month. I wonder if Vlad had that Frank the Clown trust fund package (or maybe I should call it the Vlad Trust Fund package because he was the originator.)
Or maybe WWE PR gave tickets to Vlad and friends whenever they weren't in the NY area, hence how he shows up all over the country and around 2001 (you can see him at Mania 17 during Taker's entrance) the WWE was like "Vlad...we don't need you in the front row anymore.
". 
I'm putting too much thought into this.

How not having legitimate competition hurts the WWE. They don't even have to really try anymore.
How much society has changed in the past 15 years. Watching Raw and Nitro from the 90's how they were doing a lot of stuff that they wouldn't even think of doing today. Even going back further to the 80's when Tully Blanchard slapped Baby Doll. Could you imagine the WWE or TNA trying something like that now? Or the Road Warriors stabbing Dusty Rhodes in the eye with one of their spikes?
How much different and IMO better the WWE was when the McMahon's weren't involved in the storylines. Vince just did commentary. No Shane, no Stephanie, no Linda.

The difference in Hogan from WM 7 to 8 to 9 is crazy.
Hogan and Warrior deflated like old balloons

The Young and the Dumb club feat disco and alexBreh Larry gave NO fukkS about nothin, he was 100% trying to get himself over
And those corny nicknames (New World ODOR)
Nothing...he was at mania this year and probably at SS
Has there been any Faith No More Guy sightings in recent years?
There's also ECW hat guy who you'd sometimes see at WWF shows in Philly. WWF shows from 95-98 in Philly were always comedy for the ECW chants and all round smark fukkery.

LMAO I'm watching now. Another thing is just how over the entire roster was. Hardyz vs T&A had the crowd on fire. You know today if they did Carmella/Asscension vs Nikki/Generic Alpha it would be crickets.
Raw 2003 was actually dope. I liked it at the time, but wasn't on the internet discussing it. Nowadays it has a bad rep, probably because of so called "smart" marks just marking out and hating that HHH won a lot.
I've been watching Fall 03 Raws and seen a bunch of dope midcard matches with Dudleys, Jericho, DVD, Christian, and Booker T.
The Evolution vs Goldberg feud was actually good too. A lot of times Goldberg wasn't as exciting as he could be because they kept having him sell because he was facing such hard tasks, but as a storyline it was compelling.
The Sheriff Austin vs Bischoff stuff and Austin getying provoked does get old, but it's not terrible.

in 98 austin would only show up on Raw for 5 minutes TOPS and never even wrestle. Theyd hype up his appearance all show.
But these new fags think brock should wrestle nightly and monthly?
Sometimes Stone Cold would pop in for like 10 seconds and stunner someone and not come back

LOL!!! I still have the original show on tape. Well not the whole episode, I flipped back & forth between Raw & Nitro.
