In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Oh yeah all those guys are amazing but then a lot of 1998 was shit like the oddities and hawk and animal alcoholic angle and the brawl for all and actually watching the full raw you won't see much wrestling other than kicks and punches and every match ending in a run in
I enjoyed oddities as an act. The early attitude stuff was shit though. Meat, mae young hand birth, sexual chocolate, that interview with pillmans wife, the headbanger dude who pretended his wife was his mother until they changed that to his wife but they hinted he beats her or whatever that shit was.

Attitude era had a lot of shit (Perry Saturn and Moppey
) but it also had viscous matches (e.g. TLC with the Hardy Boyz) and some fantastic storylines as well as some of the most charismatic wrestlers from Stone Cold to The Rock to 2 Cool to even midcarders like Gangrel (until he was forced to speak).Now, a lot of the wrestlers seem very bland, probably due to the PG nature of the product.
Cody, who is the world champion, seems really boring. They have champions who are part time (Brock and Roman), the tag team scene only has a few good teams etc.
It was apparent when Rock came back recently. He put everyone to shame with his mic work, making the main face and heel look like side characters whereas back in attitude days, wrestlers were able to keep up with him.
But maybe I'm seeing things through rose-tinted glasses.
One thing for sure, the women's division is infinitely better now.
I get what you mean. Its why I liked oddities. It felt like lower and mid card people had actual characters. Some of it was shit. I think recently were seeing more of a move towards that again which is good.Attitude era had a lot of shit (Perry Saturn and Moppey

I think overall what helped was I watched attitude era as a teen. so it was a lot of fun. And it was good for its time too. Im not sure how a rewatch would go now, but I do remember a lot of early on was shit. It did take its time to get into the groove.
Finally. This was meant to be released days after mania but apparently the rock got involved?
Oh and Who can forget the Asian faction kidnapping val venis to chop off his dingdong
“I choppy your pee pee”Oh and Who can forget the Asian faction kidnapping val venis to chop off his dingdong
I watched that back when I thought wrestling was realOh and Who can forget the Asian faction kidnapping val venis to chop off his dingdong
Was confused as feck when he still had a massive bulge there a couple of weeks later
aside from the sexism, blatant degradation of women, occasional casual racism and general inappropriateness I still love the attitude era stuff.If the actual wrestling at the time wasn't 95% utter trash it would be peak WWE forever.
My favourite was the raw where undertaker tried to get Kane taken to an insane asylum by making him pass out, but then got hit over the head with a shovel by Austin who then swapped his body with Kane so Undertaker got committed instead, and then Kane and Austin threw Paul Bearer into a sewer. Just a standard Raw episode back in the day.
