Re: Wrestling Angles that worked
[ QUOTE ]
Anything involving Kurt Angle. Anything. Dude's awesome. Giving you one specific, back when Steffie didn't have tits the size of my head, the tease that Angle would steal her from HHH. Solid angle, great matches. Kurt's the man. One that they started out so inredibly well but [censored] up beyond belief was ECfnW uniting. All they had to do was make ECW the faces, but no. Vince couldn't swallow his pride. [/ QUOTE ] ECW and Paul Heyman coming out on Raw has to be the best Raw moment of all time.

Re: Wrestling Angles that worked
Unfortunately, that's true. There was no payoff. But the question was what angles made me want to see more, and that angle certainly did. Normally proportioned Steffie was hot, man. Now she's just so... not.

Re: Wrestling Angles that worked
Not angles, but just some random things off the top of my head:
1) Steiner Bros. get driven off the road by the nWo. Best moment in the history of wrestling as far as I'm concerned. 2) HHH marries a knocked out Stephanie McMahon in Vegas drive through. 3) DX invades WCW headquarters in Atlanta 4) All the nWo stuff was great early on, especially when Scott Hall dropped the TV title in the garbage can. Hey yo, indeed. 5) The original "This Is Your Life" for the Rock. 6) Hulk Hogan wakes up Gene Okerlund to go training with him. 7) HHH has sex with a corpse 8) Big Bossman eats Al Snow's dog 9) Big Bossman drags Big Show's fathers coffin around the cemetary from the back of a truck 10) Rock's limo gets creamed by a semi driven by Stone Cold

It really was a high water mark in the "anything goes" era of sports entertainment.

I have tried to watch it recently, but it just doesn't hold the same appeal. I think its fun until you realize they just keep repeating the same gimmicks and story lines. [/ QUOTE ] Buy tapes from this guy: www.wrestletapes.net PM me for reccomendations. No, I don't know him, but hes a good dealer.

I hated every single one of those angles and actually wish I could live in an alternate universe where these never happened. Its things like this which in my opinion give wrestling a bad name beyond that fact that it is "fake" Any good TV show needs to have a sense of believability to it which allows the audience to buy into the product. This goes for shows like 24 as well as wrestling. What angles like the above do is take wrestling from being a drama to being a something resembling looney toons cartoons. IMO these are angles which I would say did NOT work and should have been scapped all together.
