I don't even know how the hell I'm gonna watch all I have. It's ridiculous at this point, I feel like an archivist - but I've seen some of your collection, Boots - and I'll never, ever be able to top THAT. You're a true scholar.

Haha, yeah, I'm in the process of ripping my collection at the moment and realised I'm going to need at least one more 1TB HDD to store it all.
Currently at; 565 gigs, 350+ shows across 47 promotions, and still not even half-way done ripping stuff :/

How are these Fight of Fighters sets going anyways? FT10?
Seraphis Cain
bad gameplay lol
FT10? That'd make the final "PPV" super long, don't you think? I'm pretty sure it's either one match or best of three.

Yeah that makes sense.
But I'm in the main event. Apparently.

Damn son. That is a collection right there. I would almost be interested in something like that but I would have no chance in hell of watching it all.

Hmm, that's sort of hard to say. I mean, I have no doubt that Cena helped the company survive but I sort of wonder what WWE would look like if they didn't have their Superman. The reason why I think Punk's contributions are more important was the fact that he dispelled the myths that the legions of indy guys who came after the attitude era can't work and can't draw. I think it's not totally dissimilar to Michaels becoming a main event talent in the 90s despite being (90s) small.
Daniel Bryan is unquestionably a better wrestler than Punk and his personality has really caught up to his ability in the past year, but I truly believe he never would have been given the ball if Punk hadn't been the face for "ROH" talents in the WWE.
all of those are AJ gifs

Not all of it, there were also FAN CLUBS!
So I had a friend of mine share something with me that another mutual friend of ours had discussed with him. I want to share it with you guys to see what you think, because I wasn't really watching wrestling during the era being discussed.
He said he feels that if Owen Hart hadn't died, HHH may never have been as big or as successful as he was. He felt Owen would have been placed in the ultra heel role that HHH was in and probably would have done it better. A lot of people say that heel character HHH played pretty much defined his career and solidified him as one of the top performers of his generation. I know it's all speculative, but what do you guys think?

Owen getting a push? I thought Vince hated the harts, thus me constantly seeing Owen on Shotgun saturday night.

Beats me. That's why in throwing it out there.
According to every interview ever, EVERYONE loved Owen. Regardless of how they felt about the Harts. Hell, Shawn loved Owen. Owen was probably on Saturday Nights because he loved wrestling and just wanted to be part of it in every possible way. X-Pac thought Owen was the most talented member of the Hart family, but he didn't have Bret's focus.
It wouldn't be that surprising. When Owen came back, he was originally going to feud with HBK and Austin who were the two biggest stars there, but there was so much fire on Austin that it was hard to want to put in another 'anti-HBK, anti-McMahon' guy. I think if Owen stuck around, he would have absolutely won the title. If anything, as a thank you for sticking with them when Jim, Bret, and Davey left.
Also, he always had the best music
I really don't know then.
I'd love to wonder these things if HHH wasn't so selfish to bring himself to the center of attention, if Owen was alive...if Steph married Eddie instead.
I bet things would've been probably amazing.
That's amazing to hear.
I fucking loved Owen, even seeing him in that tag team with Jarett.
He truly was the best king of the ring and was an amazing Heel.
I wonder how a super buff Owen Hart heel run would've been like.
I mean, Owen Hart was kind of HHH and Jericho before both of them.
Also, Triple H said in one of his books that Owen was originally going to be 'The Game'
No Shit? That's amazing to hear about.
...Now I'm not only sad but i'm super pissed at that asshole Russo

Do you see Kobe fanfics here? Or Masked Mamba?
Oh man, love me some Trauma action. One of the best tag teams in the world. And seeing them take on their dad and solar is just fun since theyll try to beat the shit out of them while the old men show why Quackenbush bought so many of their tapes to ripoff thier holds

Is Rick Rude the only wrestler to show up on WWF, WCW, and ECW in the same year?
Here's an awesome Rude promo from ECW where he calls Shane Douglas a dingleberry

Hell no. The only way I'm joining a Online fed is if y'know, the companies get off their ass and make a game that caters to that: good online, no move spam and customizable as fuck with maybe the DoR engine.

I'd like to join too. You can design my character however you want, I just ask that his skin be normal colored.
But...I was going to make you a monster heel and you were going to be awesome and champion. You were going to be the HHH of wrestling video games.
So you want him to be a black guy?
What color did I consider normal again?

Just watched Okada vs Tanahashi from 6/16. That match was white hot. Okada is so good! Thank you Bootaaay. Match of the year contender indeed!
Looks like Punk didn't blade.

I wad actually shocked to see how much better Madden 13 is than Madden 12. I only kept Madden 12 for a couple months before trading it in. Pretty sure I'm gonna keep '13 till '14 comes out
Dude it IS Better!
So depending on my check it looks like I'm getting Persona 4: Arena and maybe Madden or Sleeping Dogs or Darksiders II or something else..
Soooo gonna trade in Madden 12
