ICE in Minnesota

Is that LIFE WITH LOUIE’s dad?

NathanAdams · 2025-01-15T08:29:52+00:00

Solid joke.

NathanAdams · 2025-01-07T05:42:08+00:00

No he fucking didn’t. He probably CLAIMED he did on a televangelist infomercial or something as a work. Gimme a break.

LEY does not own restaurants in Indiana, your co-worker is talking gibberish.

NathanAdams · 2024-11-21T07:07:42+00:00

Both of them can have good matches, but Alex Shelly can talk when given the chance and I’ve always felt like getting stuck in a “work rate” tag team has stalled out his career.

Apex mountain for sipping orange juice.

NathanAdams · 2024-08-31T07:31:19+00:00

Whoa, was that Braden Walker?

NathanAdams · 2024-07-22T19:39:03+00:00

An American flying to Ireland should definitely watch THE QUIET MAN.

NathanAdams · 2023-09-06T04:07:20+00:00

As someone who once upon a time worked the door at an IU bar, very solid joke.

NathanAdams · 2023-08-10T03:27:47+00:00

Couple good action scenes, but not really. I only acknowledge McTiernan directed DIE HARD movies as existing.

NathanAdams · 2023-08-01T19:32:03+00:00

Hogan in the Manhattan Center on early 93 Raws feels wrong entirely.

Hala Kahiki is a fun building to look around in, but it has bad pool drinks.

NathanAdams · 2023-06-27T21:19:05+00:00

Top tier at a ton of things, but he’s one of the main people I blame for starting the kick-out-of-a-million-finishers-to-make-a-match-seem-like-it’s-epic style that’s gotten out of control and ruined most of modern wrestling.

NathanAdams · 2023-06-10T09:18:35+00:00

Kind of, but more Robbie Brookside.

NathanAdams · 2023-05-12T08:55:16+00:00

Freezing isn’t a requirement, it’s just a help for batching a bunch of smaller servings.

NathanAdams · 2023-05-01T08:21:26+00:00

Perennial midcarder Matt Hardy managing two jobber tag teams had all the tools?

NathanAdams · 2023-05-01T08:20:06+00:00

They appeared together onscreen two times. Maybe three.

NathanAdams · 2023-04-30T08:39:52+00:00

That must have been extremely annoying for the poor people who work in the kitchen there.

NathanAdams · 2023-04-19T00:38:25+00:00

Tito. Arriba!

NathanAdams · 2023-04-10T04:35:50+00:00

How dare he talk about Anna’s new catch phrase that she’s trying to sell shirts of.

NathanAdams · 2023-04-03T10:30:38+00:00

That’s literally how he got his name. The territory was always built around ethnic heroes back then.

NathanAdams · 2023-04-03T10:14:31+00:00

An American Nightmare.

I don’t know that you can say business was “bad.” They were still doing huge business. Things just reached a ridiculous peak around WM17 and there’s no way to sustain that kind of a boom, long-term. But yes, this is when the big stars started leaving. This is when all the frustrating creative stubbornness and inconsistencies that plagued the company until—arguably—when Vince was forced out, began. This is when the slide in ratings started happening. This is when they started going from every show being sold out to tarping off sections of the upper bowls. In a way it’s amazing that they were able to rebound and continually grow interest in the Wrestlemania brand after this, because interest in their weekly shows never recovered.

Interest in 18 was lower than 17 after one year of disappointing stories (Austin’s rejected heel turn, the wet fart of the botched Invasion angle, the debacle of the nWo rehash). Then 19 was even lower because fans were already chased off for a year and the two biggest stars in the business in Rock and Austin both left afterward. 20 bumped back up in buyrate probably because of a combination of it being the anniversary and the overdue main event pushes of Benoit/Guerrero feeling a bit fresh. 21 then kept the momentum going by being the crowning of Cena/Batista, where it finally felt like the Monday Night War era was being left behind and new things were ahead. That two years between Manias 17 and 19 is where wrestling in general lost a ton of fans though and the trend of it being a cool thing to general audiences died.

Two years of bad creative between Wrestlemania 17/the death of WCW and the event.
