How did the E survive in the mid 90s with those corny gimmicks?

[MenacingMonk]

Mantaur, Heavenly Bodies, Duke The Dumpster, Spark Plug, Bastion Booger, Gooblely Gooker, Aldo Montoya, etc.

I was watching the RR where Shawn won and noticed like the majority of the wrestlers in there were shytty gimmicks.

Heavenly Bodies were ahead of their time

They scaled the fukk back, held MNR at a single location, and cut all high-pay talent - who all ended up in WCW.

The Mountie vs Big Boss man was a good idea.

hahahahaha o shyt, couldnt do that today, even tho fandango is around

[Pinyapplesuckas]

its odd to me how much i still love that era...i mark for Duke The Dumpster, the Godwinns, Headbangers, Head Shrinkers, my nikka Max Mini

shyt wasnt best for business but gimmicks still can make for some good entertainment

also shows how great they built the Undertaker because he lived thru it all and survived

When I saw this as a kid, instantly thought of him as the biggest scumbag on earth.

Because their competition was running the Dungeon of Doom and Shockmaster.

cant wait til that first Wyatt slop bucket match.. hopefully its vs Triple H since he's familiar with all of that

 

[I'm Billy FUCO!!]

This was the time when I first started becoming a wrestling fan as a young kid.....so I didn't know better

I thought damn near everything was great back then.....shyt was just colorful, corny and fun

Every time I think about how much I hate how the E is now, I take time to remember that there are kids out there who are watching it now, the same way I watched it back in the mid-90s
