Been watching 2004 RAW's and loving it, evolution was top notch, but gosh Hunter was so longwinded in promos, almost useless

I've been working my way through SNME, and god damn, the first like...6/7 eps are dogshyt. The first few are legit some of the worst produced WWWF/WWF/WWE shows I've ever seen, particularly the Uncle Elmer's wedding episode.

"It looks to me like Roots 2, McMahon" "What?" "ROOTS 2!" :francis:

Same here... the first one was decent. The others between '85 and '86 were mostly trash. It gets good in late-86, then is consistently solid from '87 on. Same for their PPVs- I don't think they had a good one until Mania III, and that's one of my top 3 favorite Manias. But everything before it was like night and day. The production value and (most of) the booking got a lot better.

Even as they got better, you still had so much garbage like George fukking Steele, Danny Davis, Nikolai Volkoff, Kamala, Bundy, HTM, etc.

I have the first 15 + TME 1 up and giffed now

I'm :laff: at these reviews you wrote...

This also proves that while people might feel WWE needs excellent booking and superior wrestling to ever see another boom period... really all they need is a huge-drawing star and mainstream promotion. Because most of WWF's most popular years were made of 25% great matches and 75% mediocrity, and MFs LOVE that shyt, including me :pachaha:

I did, but didn't complete it yet.

On another note, WM 6 was dog shyt:scust:. Beyond Warrior/Hogan...the entire card was just plain eh:huhldup:
The only thing I remember from WM6 besides Warrior/Hogan was Demolition winning back the tag titles and that's because I was a big Demolition fan back then. Had to wiki the rest of the card and I don't remember any of those other matches at all :pachaha:

On PAPER, the card looks really good: Demolition/Colossal Connection, Beefcake/Perfect, Piper/Bad News, DiBiase/Jake, Hogan/Warrior... everything was a disappointment other than Hogan/Warrior & Rockers/Orient Express.

7 of the 15 matches ran under 5 minutes. If that's the case, why even book all those matches? I know, to get the guys a payday, but still... doesn't make for an entertaining show from a fan perspective.

Majority of the show was background noise for me. Even the skits reeked of :flabbynsick:. I'm convinced that Warrior and Hogan gave the red light to the boys to not outshine the main event by any means:lupe:
