I liked the part when he stuck the canadian flag up his nose in front of the Canadian fans. HBK was so strung out on pills it was crazy. He got to do whatever he wanted because he was one of the old superstars vince still had. All the big guys went to wcw. It was just shawn and undertaker. So they had to make new stars. Luckily stone cold and the rock came. Along with mankind etcwrestling gets a lot of hate on here, but it used to be entertaining
it was entertaining because prior to like 2005, every wrestler was coked up and had free reigns to do whatever they wanted on TV. go watch Shawn Michaels youtube videos from 1997 and tell me that isn't some of the most entertaining shit ever

it was like Conor McGregor promos, girls gone wild, and Pride all rolled into one
then it tried to be politically correct, wrestlers no longer were drugged out of their minds on live television, and they never built up new stars like the old ones
More like 2007. Wrestling died when they “cleaned up” the show because of the Benoit murdersThis is not ufc worthy.
We all know wrestling died around 2010
After Eddie died I stopped being a regular viewer. It’s sad Rey and Eddie went out while being rivals.2010? You're kinda being too kind there. 2006ish after that smackdown era with eddie guerro,rey mysterio, bastista ended. I forgot what that era was called. It was a fun era.
wrestling when Austin turned heel.This is not ufc worthy.

Ironic considering RAW just hit its record lowest rating in history at 1.4 million.You guys are a joke, WWE is still thriving and going strong. Yeah it may have hit a bump in 2007-2009 but now they are peaking with some of the best talents in generations. Business has ever been better.

Ironic considering RAW just hit is record lowest rating in history at 1.4 million. Business is booming but the product fucking sucks for the most part.
I'm not saying it never had good moments post 2006. It did. It does but after 2006, it died. Miz of all people became a champion. I like Miz but him and Cena doing the middle schooler thing wasn't a great rivalry lol.After The deadman tombstoned HBK in 2010 for the retirement Id say that was one of the big turning points.
TV ratings is down yes but WWE is making more money than ever. TV deals, toys, shirts, live events (pre covid), you name it.Ironic considering RAW just hit its record lowest rating in history at 1.4 million.
What? Smackdown at that time did a better job of creating characters and stars than raw. Probably because Vince McMahon wasn't really involved at the time and Heyman was the lead producer for the show.I hated smackdown , raw was always better..all about 80's and 90s
