I hate to play "it was better back in the day" but there is something more enjoyable about a less produced product

Alrighty, thanks guys. I guess I'll do all of 96-97 then since that seems to be the consensus.

If you feel like it, watch WWE in conjunction with WCW of the same year. You'll be watching the genesis of the Monday Night Wars and easily the best two years of wrestling. I'm on the side that not living through it means a lot is lost, but god damn if there wasn't some compelling stuff going on in both feds. You had the rise of Austin, Bret's incredibly face to heel turn and Michaels in WWE combined with the nWo formation and mid-card superstars of WCW.

*goes to check top wrestling news of the past week*

Mauro is now on the NXT announcing team. The fuck??

Seems likely it was requested by him in their private agreement. I'm thinking CWC left a mark on him and he didn't want to give that kind of thing up. Happy for him if this means he's getting all the things he actually wanted from a WWE position initially. He gets to stay out of the doldrums of the main roster, and the fuck away from JBL.

Following the departure of his predecessor, Vince Russo, in October 1999, Kreski became the head writer of the World Wrestling Federation. He is widely credited with writing captivating and layered storylines, and was at the helm of WWF creative in its all-time peak years of both ratings and profitability. Kreski's extensive use of storyboards was mocked by many in the WWF during his tenure, but they enabled him to achieve a high degree of continuity in his storylines, which began to devolve into semi-coherence following his departure.

Kreski was replaced as head writer by Stephanie McMahon in November 2000, but remained with the company until 2002, when he left to pursue other opportunities.

I'm sure Vince told Kreski to fuck off during the Mania 2000 build and did that entire thing himself. It's hard to comprehend any other way Mania was so bad in 2000 yet every other PPV was amazing.

Cody Rhodes is a WWE spy sent to infiltrate the indies

He was low midcard in WWE and that's what they think of indies/Japan so they knew he'd be a top guy

He's killing promotions

It's all a work brothers

Shoot: He'd be way more exciting as the winner of the smash vote poll than the last three characters we got.
Corrin has Bayley level booking in his/her game.

American Nightmare, it all makes sense now, I bet WWE have that on trademark along with the name Cody Rhodes in general!
