LOL He missed including the best part with Sid yelling "GOLDBEEEERG!" at the end. Here it is followed by another Sid classic in the same storyline.
Sid Vicious funny moments
since showing up on raw i wanted to upload Sid Vicious, Pshyco Sid, Sid Justice whatever you wanna call him at his finest! :) Sid Rules The World

Sid was good, actually. The production choice to keep his music running for this promo probably wasn't.

No. It was my dark period of wrestling. Lots of interesting clips from that time though.
Booking wise, nothing changed. And no one said the booking was necessarily better.
Presentation of the show though, things definitely did change. There were far less video packages. If someone made their way to the ring and they had a commercial, they came back from commercial and their focus was still in the ring and not backstage or having video packages.
Fightful Report on Vince working creative in the past. Lots of interesting tidbits.
this NEEDS to get out there someday
I want a full fucking 3 hours of raw, vince production audio
Any of that audio coming out would certainly be a spectacle, but Vince being a nightmare in those situations is common knowledge I thought?
Either way he's going to end up using the memory problems mentioned at the end to escape culpability in both the legal and social sense
So WWE is now doing the usual "he was hard to work with" but now with Vince too
Love to see it lmao
Love to see it lmao
It is, although i don't think we've ever had audio/video leak of him being good one moment and then irate the next unless i'm misremembering.
hilarious
but also
this is the first time it's actually the truth lol
All I'm remembering is the cold reception Kevin Owens got after a match during one of the WWE docs and a leak of Michael Cole's audio during a break where you could tell he was getting the verbal beatdown for talking back to Vince
God why is my memory great for carny shit like this and terrible for actual useful things
I think we can't even imagine the ammount of people and the ammount of stories people have kept for themselves and they must all want to vent now, at the same time.
Nothing stops this train.
Yup those 2 are the one's i was thinking about as well lol
The best part of this period is the first PPV was actually sort of ok. I mean there were dumb matches that didn't make sense in it but it was mostly good.
Then when they got their show it was also sort of kind of okish for a month..
When it got *real* good is when SciFi network started demanding "SciFi stories" be added and we got some late 80s nonsense characters called up from OVW to fill that quota who could not wrestle or work an angle *at all*
Please, he has good relationships with the top draws and the undercard is either too marky or too desperate to keep their jobs to bring any of that shit up.
With all the shit WWE has done revisionist history-wise on I'm sure turning "abusive" Vince into "outlandish but honest and passionate" will be one of their easier jobs
I liked CM Punk at that point too so... yeah I didn't take those results well.
I actually started watching ECWWE recently for CM Punk as I wasn't watching wrestling during that time.
You know HHH is the same age as Vince was when the Attitude Era started.
I actually kind of wonder how many years of good booking we'll get with HHH.

We need Ole style SHOOTS from all the current talent

Vince McMahon offered me more money than I ever believed possible, and I told him to go fuck himself!
He said Ole I'd like you to meet my wife Linda
I SAID FUCK HER AND FUCK YOU

Should start a trend on social media to release the Raw Vince cut.
Can you imagine Roman telling Ole he's not working weekly shows

Pffffffft nOt EvEn TwO mIlLiOn.
Pfft not even two million. Trips continues to be a flop-era booker.
with this change less top talent will move out of the WWE and there's now a better place for people who aren't happy with AEW to be better utilized elsewhere. This way new talent can appear and be the spotlight on Dynamite. It's a win win even there's more good places for talent to go and perform well instead of selling their souls out for a buck.
Ric Flair was only a legend because Ole Anderson just didnt want to be near Flair.
"One former NXT talent that had options within WWE before signing elsewhere said that they felt an incredible sense of loyalty to Triple H, and had he been the person managing their creative future "things could have been much different." That talent, and another talent that ended up in AEW said that they had no confidence in being creatively satisfied on the WWE main roster. One said "I'm glad that I went to AEW, but if I was graduating to a Triple H-led Smackdown or Raw, I probably would have re-signed with WWE before my deal was up." "
One of them must totally be Adam Cole lol

There is a major disconnect between a bunch of talent who think they would still be in WWE if HHH was running creative, and Nick Khan being co-CEO and him being behind trimming the roster down to what it is to boost profits. I'm sure a handful would still be there, but the majority of them were cut for a reason, and HHH running creative wouldn't change that
Adam Cole is an interesting case since he is really close to the Bucks. But the choice would've been much harder for sure. Keith Lee probably would've stayed as well.
In the end having a good team at WWE is much better for the industry than having a rapist and his creep buddies in control.

Don't think many of the AEW women would want to go back to the E unless they have more than 4 mins and 20 seconds of wrestling in a 3-hour show like there apparently was on Raw last night.
I do trust Triple H to book women better than Tony Khan, though. That's gonna be an interesting thing to keep an eye on.

I'm pretty sure there are only a handful of people who had their deals expire. Cole, Gargano, and O'Reilly being the main ones. Everyone else got fired.
Can someone explain to me how I keep hearing that the WWE is going to be sold. Aren't they a publicly traded company sold to whom? privately? I don't understand this?
Not exactly front-page news given everything else going on, but the WWE 2K games are being quietly delisted.
2K has quietly delisted almost all of the WWE games on Steam
A total of four WWE games, plus DLC, have been removed from sale without warning.www.pcgamer.com
I got 2k17 from another site over a year ago as it wasn't available on Steam back then (it vanished while 16-20 were still there). This was after taking a chance and playing the Xbox version for a bit (was on Gamepass for a few months), enjoyed it as it had decent roster and the graphics + gameplay suited me more compared to my last attempted sessions with 2k14-15.
Noticed it could be found on Steam again a few months back. I get why they'd be delisted being do old and the servers extinct.
Most people expected WWE to be sold to a bigger media enterprise (so NBC / Disney / whatever) as there is an ongoing consolidation in teh era of "needing live content". Public companies can be purchased by other companies, normally for an extra above current stock market price (like 10-30%), it is all if the board accepts as they believe it is whats best for stockholder.
People expected WWE to go that route because they had maximized most revenue streams that were not TV, and TV companies at some point would think it is better to outright buy them and own all the content than pay billions for "renting" it. Plus WWE had been streamlining and "trimming the fat" of the company for a couple years with Covid, which would have made them much more desirable for purchase.
Now with a new younger leadership, the push for that might go down, but who knows.
