2024-12-31 07:25:03 +0000 UTCThe title reign was still pretty new. He’d only won it a few months prior.

2024-12-31 07:24:40 +0000 UTCNaturally this dropped while I was travelling for the holidays. Everyone else covered most of your questions, but here's a bit more. For the R-Truth promo, Heyman had a bet with someone backstage that Truth could get Brock to break character. Brock had no idea what Truth was going to say. Afterward, Brock wanted to work with Truth more because that segment was so fun.

2024-12-31 01:06:36 +0000 UTCI absolutely love this. In my opinion, R-Truth is the funniest comedy wrestler ever. It's also incredible that hes been there sine the 90's ( with a stint in TNA in-between). The Cornette promo is amazing. Jim Cornette can talk like this about any subject. I can listen to him talk about cheeseburgers for an hour, and he's got my attention the whole time. He's a natural with lots of training and knowledge. Although he talks so fast that he sometimes doesn't think before he says something, he seems to have his heart in the right place. He's kinda like that grandpa that is very progressive and wants the best for people, but might sometimes say ridiculous things because he might be stuck in the past when it comes to certain jokes etc. His work back then was great too, a natural heel. Very entertaining reactions as always! I hope everyone is having an amazing holiday 🩷🌈🙌

2024-12-28 12:17:44 +0000 UTCAlso Corny originally did a shoot on the company’s website show Byte This which got a heap of attention because no one normally listened to Byte This. So Vince called Jim and asked him to do it again on Raw and when they played it in the arena the crowd popped. Vince also had Jim call his top lawyer to make sure everything was on the up and up. They did a few more, including about a guy named Phil Mushnick who wrote for the New York Times and despised wrestling. Also it was so quick because they were formatted for six to seven minutes but they only gave Jim three minutes. Jim stopped doing them because they wanted to tell him what he thought which he didn’t want to do because what he was saying was what he actually thought.

2024-12-28 07:50:24 +0000 UTCThat truth promos is easily the funniest promo of all time in my opinion. I die of laughter every time I watch it.
Drew Or Die
2024-12-28 06:59:21 +0000 UTCYeah the idea of a Shoot is that it's something that stops being the "worked" kayfabe of wrestling and it's reality. It's always been a loose concept in wrestling but it really came into full force around the 90's thanks to everyone's favorite Vince Russo, who tried to make everything he could some kind of shoot angle, and sometimes the ever-dreaded *worked shoot* (basically a shoot that both sides agree on beforehand letting happen so therefore it's a shoot that's ALSO a work. Think the CM Punk Pipebomb, or the recent interview with Drew on a podcast where he was talking about how he's only going to take take take now.) Worked shoots can get insanely messy, but when done *well* it blurs the line between fiction and reality and it becomes another part to why we all love the psychoticness that is wrestling.

2024-12-28 06:07:50 +0000 UTCBloody hell I never realized how quickly Corny sped through that promo. The two best lines are the first three rows passing out from oxygen deprivation and the Hogan is a household name but so is garbage and it stinks when it gets old too.
Steamed Ham Champion Dillon Haggett
2024-12-28 06:06:53 +0000 UTCYeah Cornette is super polarizing because of his opinions on current pro wrestling, his lack of a filter, and zero F’s about who he pisses off. And yet you’ll be hard pressed to find a person who wouldn’t put him on the Mount Rushmore of Managers or say he’s not in the top 10 promos of all time.

2024-12-28 00:34:42 +0000 UTCI hope one of the rumbles that get voted next year is the 2020 rumble. Probably one of the best rumbles of the modern era

2024-12-28 00:04:15 +0000 UTCThe skillet song was Legendary. WWE has had a few Skillet songs in their PPV Themes. Royal Rumble 2010 had Hero. And Hell In A Cell 2009 was Monster
