You Ever Retroactively Stan A Wrestler?

[Silkk]

Been watching a lot of 99-01 WWF lately and MAAAAAAN Triple H during that time was That Damn Good, No pun intended. When he gave his promos you knew he believed every word he said, and the way he said it made you hate his ass for it vs 03 when I just didn't want to see him on TV at all

This shyt right here was just CEREBRAL

triple h was fukking awful from his debut until 2000. that early corporation run where they tried to make him into a main eventer was god awful. he always needed someone else to make him the least bit interesting.

Going back and watching him around that time made me dislike him more. Dude was protected booking wise for years and the crazy amount of attention that was put on him despite him being boring as shyt.

For me the ones I loked a lot more upon rewatches was APA, Meng & Barbarian, Ken Shamrock, and while already a stan became an even bigger Angle and Steiner Brothers stan.

that forced ass storyline of him being behind stone cold getting ran over sucked. it killed rikishi and made the rock look stupid. all for the sake of a B+ player

2 Cold Scorpio and Tazz when I got to see ECW from the WWE Network.

shyt even during his "burial" period after the curtain call he was rarely losing and when he did it'd be due to some bullshyt like a DQ or countout. He even had a single's match against Sid who was champion at the time and couldn't even eat the pin there.

Forced? It was the only option that made sense & worked

Its the whole reason they had to shift from Rikishi to Him

the only option the forced part was them making him this mastermind while USING rikishi like some dim witted savage. that shyt did NOTHING for rikishi. he was trying to force himself into the mania main event

They tried to make Rikishi the guy and everybody shyt on it and no one bought it

Thats why it was shifted to HHH in the first place

Triple H for sure. I hated him growing up and i missed the era when he became a top guy so when i got back into wrestling i always hated that he was an authority figure but i look back on matches and he put mad work in. even during the Hunter Hearst era when he was selling all over the ring like Mr Perfect.

 

[Jmare007]

All the time.

I went from thinking Terry Funk was a crazy hardcore wrestler to discovering he was God

Arn Anderson

The Enforcer.

Any era, any promotion he'd deliver.

I would have loved an Arn Anderson vs Jake Roberts feud. DDT vs DDT, the promos.

Talk about a masterclass that would be.

 

[FooFighters]

Macho Man. God, knowing what a c*nt Hogan is makes me appreciate him more than when I watched WCW as a kid.

 

[RhymesWell]

Ric Flair for me. I went back and watch all the old Starrcades and he was just amazing in his prime. Ric was a true superstar.
