Imagine a world where Hulkamania did not ever exist. A cruel, desolate, cold world, to be sure. But dwell in it for a moment.

WWE Smackdown Live “Cowboy” Round-Up: July 16th, 2019
Following last night's Raw setting up one of the shittiest Summerslams in recent history, hopefully Smackdown does something interesting.
WWE Monday Night Raw: July 15th, 2019 “Cowboy” Round-Up
The night after Extreme Rules we kick off Summerslam season with what is also allegedly Paul Heyman's first Raw. After making AEW look like a show at Hackensack, NJ high school last night, WWE tries to capitalize on the momentum of a good show.
WWE Extreme Rules 2019: “Cowboy” Round-Up
We are LIVE from Philadelphia, PA, where the rabid fans of the city that gave birth to hardcore wrestling in ECW is sure to be HYPED for the bloodless, anti-septic X-Tr3mE inter-gender and handicap matches!
I Will Always BO-Lieve

Backlash 2000 & The Art of Comeuppance
Let's admit it: Most of the time we're secretly rooting for the bad guy to win.
Macho Magic at Wrestlemania VII
Longterm booking. It's essentially a meme at this point.
