I could very well see him ending up with a post in ring career job with WWE. Could be an asset at the PC to help with the big guys who are signed. Seems to have a lot of knowledge to share.

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
He's ancient as big men go. They age way worse. He used to be super athletic (and also relatively skinny) but it's time for him to be off my TV.
Nothing against him, he's a good guy and is a no doubt WWE Hall of Famer - it's just that by now he drags down every segment he's in.badComment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I watched this show the other day. You can see the questions Austin was asking him about how he'd been booked and making fun of all of his face/heel turns were a bit of a sensitive subject. I get why he'd be a little upset/testy about that.Currently Playing:

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
Ya, I definitely see him staying with WWE after all this. Performance Center seems most likely since there's not many big men WWE has who could really help out some of the bigger guys. Kane I think he's doing politics or being a lawyer or something like that, Taker has a family in Texas(I think he lives in Texas?), so Big Show would be one of their only real choices.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I'm up to September 97 now with RAW and Nitro. Bret Hart called HBK and HHH homos on an episode of RAW and my first thought was "OMG can you imagine the **** he would be in if he said that today in 2016?" I love this era of zero ****s given.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
97 overall had ups and downs, but Austin,Bret,Foley were my fave parts of that year. Too bad politics ruled WWE during that time, Hart Foundation was so good during that. And their production back then sucked(or was it just planned that way), lol, some moments cut off of TV cause they ran out of time. HBK-Bret confrontation in the ring....Raw ends, despite things actually going down between them on the show.
Not just WWE, but TV in general, it's sad to think that what some shows did in the past, would be criticized like crazy if they even did that today,cause of how PC society is, and people are offended by everything, and have major public platforms like twitter to express those comments.Last edited by Majingir; 02-20-2016, 11:56 PM.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
I hate how I don't got time/patience to watch full years of WWE. I managed to get through 97,but it took me from January-November to do so(I wasn't even trying to do 1 a week,just didn't have as much time to watch as I thought).

And yeah the PC culture is completely out of hand today in general, not just wrestling. It's one of the biggest reasons I think social media was one of the worst ideas ever because it gave EVERYONE a voice, especially those that should never express theirs. But that's a whole different discussion lol.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
But you're right. We're such a PC culture that South Park, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and everything don't exist. We're all too offended by them, and they'll never be lauded or win awards.Last edited by ubernoob; 02-21-2016, 02:01 AM.badComment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
Read the post you have quoted. There's nothing about PC in there. It's edited in now.

And as was pointed out to me in the past (because I made that same argument), you can't compare a publicly traded company like WWE to a TV show.
If you really believe that we don't live in a PC culture though, you're just extremely ignorant.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
People were offended by the Rusev/Lana Russian stuff. I see tv shows all the time take shots at other countries/their politics, but wwe has scripted things just like a tv show,but get bashed.Comment

Re: WWE Network Discussion Thread
Thats the tough thing for wwe. People will go on making fun of WWE for being fake fighting and all, but the second anything "edgy" happens, somehow they suddenly become real, and the things said or done on tv get accused of being real thoughts and actions of someone playing a tv character.

The only thing I can think of is the WWE has mostly tried to pass itself as real. I think their big worry is offending their sponsors because it's a big source of income.
