That's good to hear.

Well, I think WCW's behavior kind of played back into the "WWF is the king of wrestling" idea, because everybody WCW got a boner about was a person who made their name in WWF (Hogan, Nash, Hall). Their homemade guys were Sting, Luger, Flair, DDP, Goldberg, Steiner and Giant, right? Those guys did okay, but it was the

I like her spear, but maybe it's just because you usually have Sasha selling it.

I have a feeling it might be Mikaze who's the fan. But maybe, she's lived a weird life.

Watch some of the old Shield videos, they have a natural charisma and ease in which they interact with each other that makes them come across as massive stars. Them talking about whether they hit the NAO with a Double-Triple Powerbomb or a Triple-Double Powerbomb is fucking great.

NXT is doing a great job of merchandising their talent before they get ready for Raw.

The steampunk aesthetic isn't supposed to make sense, it's just a cool thing that some internet dweebs like. It's style, it…doesn't make any sense.

Well, every other actor on the show is getting better/more regular work after the show than before, and while I'm sure some of Chevy's career slowdown has to do with him getting older, he didn't get the "Oh man, I forgot how funny Chevy Chase is" buzz that another established actor who "slummed it" on TV could've

That'd be great.

I mean, I guess biggest might be "name recognition from casuals" and I think by that metric WWF might always have had the lead, because as a New York promotion they had a far bigger media presence than NWA/WCW ever had.

Yeah, and if they want to do a movie, they've expanded their horizon a little bit (I presume it will be Jeff and Britta hunting down Shirley, Troy, Abed and Annie to save Greendale).

Hey, Todd is getting some love from AVClub, good on him.

Well, I think that Season 6 had the first good finale since Season 3, so if that's the end, that's totally fine.

So are we going with quality product? Or money earned? Cause the window of WCW earning money was pretty small.

Skrillex at least has the excuse of horrible facial scarring to justify his "style".

Anyone who uses Instagram for anything other than stalking attractive people will never make sense to me.

Well, WCW didn't start making money until like…94, right? And Flair jumping in 92 kinda shafted WCW's star power.

Well, for two reasons. And yeah, NWA was not a contender from 1990 onwards.

I'd actually say that sexual assault against men is a lower priority issue in the media than against women, so maybe what he meant was that he wanted to address an issue that's less in the mainstream?

I suppose WWE reached a certain point of pop cultural osmosis, but I still think it's absurd to say that they were necessarily of a higher tier than NWA/WCW.
