Since this place seems to be picking up what are your wrestling hot takes over the eras?
-If Hogan didn’t screw Mr Perfect out of the Royal Rumble win in XX he would have gone to be in the conversation with Bret, and HBK.
-Bret would have always became the man he is regardless of Goldberg.
-DX really wasn’t that great but they had a theme and a look that worked, and every subsequent trip to the well just got worse and worse.
-If NJPW and AEW really wants to grow their American audience they need to make anthology videosthat cover feuds or longer storylines cap them at 20 minutes and put them on YouTube. No new viewer is going to watch hundreds of hours to understand who Kota is or what Moxley is talking about when he says “Chikara bullshit” to Eddie Kingston.
-Adam Cole needs to gain just enough so he doesn’t have baby knees. I love the guy but when he lowers that knee bad I just wanna go “awww”.
-Let Keith Lee look the way he wants, old man Lee was a great look.
Jim Cornette is right way more often than he’s wrong.
I also strongly agree with you that DX wasn’t that good once you got past the intro whether it was the theme song that actually seemed modern (for the time) or the Road Dogg. Everything after that was meh.
I do have to disagree about Bret though. Careless Goldberg (he was often) took the thing from Bret he loved most which was wrestling. It wasnt a bad bump or anything complex, it was a boot.I think Bret Hart loves pro wrestling more than almost anything. If Goldberg and kicked him in the throat and somehow severed his vocal chords so he could never speak again it would be water under the bridge because Bret could still do what he did best and loves most. He lost a revenge match against Shawn or Vince, a late 2000s nostalgia run where he put on a five star match with a young up and comer, and who knows what else. I’m not saying his level of bitterness is justified, but I see where he’s coming from. Bret who still got to wrestle is a much happier person today
