There just something about the plugs and promo packages back then that hit harder and my guess is the music they had available and the tazz and cole chemistry and yes Michael Cole with the jet black spikey hair and goatee did look like a creepy uncle who was a few years to old to be talking with his teenage relatives trying to be cool.
EDIT: I decided to playlist some matches/promos from back then and it had Scott Steiners debut at SS 2002 and now I can't unsee it but Chris Nowinski looks damn near exactly like Tyler.

Dear God, don’t say it like this you fucking idiot. This quote literally helps WWE. He just said we’re the great value, if you come to us you’re settling for the cheap option. Name brand is down the street.

Given the absolute shite that UFC puts on their octagon/ring-mats i'm not surprised TKO are looping WWE in on advertising similar snake-oil garbage.

I'm sure some economist has already come up with a fancy term for it but the entirety of reality is slowly drowning in "pop-up ad on a torrent site" level stuff now.

In fairness if wrestling was getting advertising in the way that it is now in the 60s 70s 80s I can’t imagine what the guys would’ve been willing to sell out for for like a $100 check. 5G conspiracy shit is wild even for now though lol.

I’m fairly excited to hear how Michael tries to sell this company.

It'll be the usual thing with these products of making claims that no one could possibly be bothered to verify mixed with a bunch of psudeoscience-y terms to describe a piece of fairly standard, previously widely available equipment.

The amount of pointless TV shopping network shit from the 90s that is being recycled with a "bro", "wellness" or "fitness" image today is hilarious.

The UFC shit is hilarious to me. Back in the day when fighters could have their own sponsors on their kit there were a couple of regular ones that Dana absolutely fucking hated (Dude Wipes and Condom Depot) because he thought it made the UFC look trashy. Now they'll allow basically any company to be "the official xyz of the UFC" as long as they get paid.

Some tranny is going to be at the AEW event tonight to try and get Kidd Bandit signed by Tony despite Tony rejecting his ass years ago.

I always liked "Blandy Borton"

I have grown to like him as well, but his first few years were rough. He was a botch machine and pushed way too hard way too fast. I preferred the slow burn they pulled with Batista in terms of the pushing of Evolution members. His rivalry with Triple H was great, even though it was a little drawn out. 02 - 03 was around the time I stopped watching WWE - the name change, the departure of the Rock and Austin, and Triple H thinking he was the greatest thing ever just turned me off. It sucked because pre Stephanie Triple H was one of my favorites.
 
you know I think its a good thing Ive havent been on the internet as much lately, these moralfags crying about WrestleMania being in Saudi Arabia should fucking look at themselves in the mirror, Oil companies still ship their stuff to America, and WWEs been running shows there since 2018, just because its the biggest show of the year it doesn't really any change anything for me (i prefer to watch wrestling at night personally but thats just a mild preference), people upset about that Saudi Arabia is an Islamic dictatorship are really just doing it for "WWE Bad", not really any valid criticism of Saudi Arabias political system, its just annoying, im happy I don't go on twitter, people have gotten way too entitled to shit
 
So on the last MLW show, Riddle lost the title to Mads Kruger (aka Krule) in a 3-way match that also included >Dijak. After the match, Dijak kept brawling with Krule until Hammerstone showed up and gave Krule the least convincing chair shot I've ever seen, implying that both these guys will be gunning for Krule now that he's champion.

Seems all the ass and cock finally fucked Riddle over.

All of them would have sold out for $100s. "Pin me, pay me" is the attitude. If they're willing to pay the appearance fee the wrestler is willing to do the job.
