Beyond the fact that the last sentence sounds like it's going three different paths, I'll try to answer the one path I think you're talking about (hopefully I'm right about this, if not it's narrowed down to only two! Yay!) Okay, so
In a way that it is Impossible to misinterpret as anything that might be unclear:
No one likes to talk about TNA
The founder's been run out of the company three separate times
The money mark who saved it abandoned ship
Nazis temporarily ran it
Christian easily had the best run in his career there, and when he had to go back there to give a speech, he looked like he wanted to be anywhere else on Earth including Chernobyl
Booker STILL openly talks about his time there as a vacation
Kurt had a tumor he didn't notice for a year (until it started pressing on a nerve in his neck) and that might not have been top 5 most noteworthy fuckups involving him or his health in the decade he spent there
Daffney got concussed and nearly broke her arm on a tack-filled table in a spot she didn't want to do in the first place, for a spot the cameras not only didn't catch but couldn't have aired on replay anyway due to Spike TV's policy, then was told at the hospital they wanted her paying the whole bill
Jesse Sorensen broke his neck at a PPV, and in the immediate aftermath Dixie looked him in the eyes and told him he had a job for life there. Not only was he fired less than 2 years later, they didn't pay for any of his medical bills. He had to rely on his mom's insurance, and she eventually had to file for bankruptcy because of it

It's a soul crushing place and nobody looks back fondly on their time there
Shit, for 3 of the last 4 years a significant amount of people weren't even regularly paid on time. And that includes production staff, who were regularly intimidated into shutting up about the missing pay

It's bad enough that the women's divisions are in the places that they are right now. However, people mourning Alica Fox when her entire repertoire is a good looking northern lights and concussing her opponent, when Bayley and Sasha put on the best women's match in WWE history and have been gutted on the main roster is too much.
Summer has been the most screwed competitor in the division. The division itself was killed before it had a chance to get going.
looks like wrestle kingdom tickets are selling really fast
I better get mine ASAP.
Naito is a god damn draw!

Shit, I remember when Paige and Emma supposedly put on the best women's match ever.
Quite fitting for fake sports then

It's less that it's a net and more that it's a ridiculously big one
Typical WCW overspending when the cheap option would be just as liked

It wasn't, but it was the best women's match in such a long time that it stood out. I'd been watching the WWE since 2000 and it was the first time I could say that the women's match was the best match of the card.
Outside of Bull, The Jumping Bomb Angels, the other Joshi talent, and Alundra it was the first time the women stood out due to their match. Rather than a wrestler getting hot over touching the crotch of a women she stalked at Wrestlemania.

Curtis Axel almost KILLED Trips all by himself. Sting couldn't even manage a W with two of Trips' friends betraying him and a giant orange racist on his side.

Dental, Rick Steiner would easily fuck up Rome

It's not just that it's a cartoonishly large net, it's the fact that it almost completely misses Sting standing completely still. He has to hold the one bit that's touched his head to even attempt to make it look like it worked.
I just don't understand how WCW fans enjoyed its main event scene or anything beyond the cruiserweight stuff. WCW just could never put coherent stuff on TV and then lead into a PPV and use that to carry the next month etc.
WCW has the honour of the longest streak of horrific PPV main events.
The best part of WCW are clearly the gifs which highlight those brief seconds of fun, which need to be taken out of their original context to be enjoyed.

There was a shitload of kids at my school who wore their parody Pokemon and South Park shirts and I just didn't get it at all. Fuck, I still don't.
Someone hide this post from Zach
