It's crazy to think that the absolute peak of undertaker's run occurred in just 10 years, and in that time Stone Cold came and went, DX reached a peak and then broke apart, Sunny Chyna Sable etc came and went. The sheer change between 1992-2002 was dizzying, it felt like wrestling was advancing decades in mere years and that dozens of super stars came and went. Sprawling storylines with unguessable twists and turns played out, Big Boss eat someone's dog and desecrated The Big Show's father's grave, Vince McMahon was nearly assassinated, Owen Hart died in the ring, Shawn Michaels broke out as his own talent after throwing his old partner through a window, etc etc etc.

Now wrestling is just the same geezers everyone was watching 15+ years doing the exact same shit talking about how they're gonna win the belt in between hugging each other. Anyone watching wrestling past 2010 is a certifiable tasteless retard.

>>20264376
Why is so much of modern wrestling booked like a menopausal wine aunt’s favorite reality show? Two faggots stroking each others egos & pouring out their feelings? What is supposed to be exciting

Tell me again how this segment of 40-somethings crying is hetero & manly

>>20264804
Meanwhile, in AEW their champion is someone that was a borderline unknown when they started 7 years ago.

The IWGP Champion was not even alive when WWE was WWF

I feel like most of the bigger shifts in wrestling in the past 10 years have happened outside of the wwe
>Lucha Underground produces kino from 2014-2018
>Nu Japan's rise in popularity in 2017
>Jericho leaves wwe to wrestle omega in 2018
>indie guys like the bucks and cody challenges the american wrestling zeitgeist and sells out a 10k arena for an indie show in 2018, considered a big win at the time
>money mark starts aew in 2019 off of the success of said indie show
>DEAN shows up in aew because he's tired of being booked like a goober
>Punk returns to wrestling in aew
>Bryan goes to aew

Over the past 10 years the "biggest things" to happen in wwe are the women's revolution, styles to wwe, roman's 3.5 year title reign, punk & cody coming back to wwe. No new stars have been made.
NXT black and gold was bad for wwe in the long term because it gave awareness to wrestling outside of wwe with the influx of indie darlings putting on heatless bangers. There's no AEW without NXT B&G.

>>20266562
healthy things in wrestling, you shouldn't rely on the same oldfags for 20 years as The Guy.

>>20266617
The women's revolution was 11 years ago kek

>indie darlings putting on heatless bangers

as opposed to WWE matches being heatless slop

NXT isn't the reason Bullet Club got over

cause they are both losing their matches

>>20266617
>There's no AEW without NXT B&G.
Not the main reason, bur it's part of it, for sure. It gave extra underdog legitimacy to western wrestlers outside the main roster. Then when Jericho wrestled Omega, and the first All In happened, it boosted it even more.

>>20266694
The actual genesis is Styles joining Bullet Club

#1 American wrestler (desu #1 American wrestler period) outside WWE joining New Japan and winning its title

It all goes back to this

>Phil wearing suits

He really is WWE's corporate muppet now

>>20266564
>Their two biggest stars

The Rock doesn't work for the WWE and he isn't coming back.
P.S. Roman ran off 2 million viewers.

the world ended in 1999 and this is all cultural/technological/economic entropy

>>20264376
It felt a bit like they were apologising for the poor mania and trying to setup what's coming after

For me it was the constant pauses for applause to a dumfounded crowd

>>20264804
Happened with music and movies, too. The irony is the media moves faster, but the changes are slower to nonexistent. Everyone was trying to outdo and come up with something new. Competition was fiercer. Blatant copycats with no charisma got exposed, and most importantly, the lack of social media allowed only the best to thrive or the morons to be gatekept out.

It's two edged, though. WWF still beats WCW in the end. And WWE would still have a monopoly no matter what.

>>20264376
Wait. Is this Paul's attempt to copy the Omega/Ospreay segment from this week?

Advancing to what? Hmmmm. People that consume so much of the thing they like, they get tired of it, then want and force advancing. Man, Fucking smarks
