At least they explained it by saying they did it in case the doctor needs to get in the ring.

How? He literally mentioned his high school and college friends in his post. Not understanding your point here. I was responding to exactly what he said. 

My point was calling people out for making obnoxious posts and then proceeding to make fun of someone else by dismissing their point that their college and high school friends thought differently from you and including the laughing emote is also being quote obnoxious.

god those explosions are so fucking good

Here's your exact post, C.S. How are people misreading what you said? You said he's a "top five Attitude Era guy". That's an exact quote. 

Because I remember how big and important E&C and the TLC matches were in the Attitude Era, and I stand by putting them in the Top 5. Someone saying Al Snow meant more to their friends as some kind of argument is ridiculous.

Everyone using Vince McMahon's arguments and perceptions to devalue Christian is something I wouldn't expect from this board.

"Tag team wrestler."

"B+ player in his own team."

I'm surprised.

Everyone stop fighting about Christian when people are getting exploded on PPV in 2021.

Huge fan of the referee beekeeper's outfit.

Tony Schiavone covering for it was awesome though. "That's in case medical personnel need to get into the ring!"

Because it's an absurd argument. Al Snow never sold a PPV. E&C and the TLC matches did. No one looked forward to Al Snow's matches. Everyone looked forward to those E&C TLC classics. (And I like Al Snow!)

My point was not that Al Snow was a definitive top-5, top-10, or top-15 guy of the Attitude Era. But a random sampling of Attitude Era fans, in a market (Columbus, OH) that's incidentally one of the top test markets in the country and in what was once a bellwether state for national elections, indicated that he was more memorable than Christian. "WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT?" was more memorable than the 5-second poses or even the big TLC bumps. If you think that's "obnoxious," then there's not much more I can say.

Poor Renee (who tweeted a backstage pic with Brandi comparing bumps) must be dying right now.

Okay, I'm done...I hope.

Christian was #1, not only during the Attitude Era but in any era, and I think we all agree on that now. 

the barbed wire getting stuck on moxley's flesh fuuuuuuuuuuuck

I think AEW sucks, I think this show has sucked, but I'll say something nice: Mox is getting good color, and while this match sucks and will continue to suck, at least there is that.

He is the true successor to the Onita/Funk/Cactus legacy.

good line from the Discord where we're watching this: "Moxley's got the Doomguy at 5% health face"

Also props to Kenny for wearing a white shirt in a bloodbath, always a great move.

No Mr. Pogo scythe, sadly.

Indeed. It's the little things.

I actually called a different post obnoxious, not yours. The game of telephone that gets played on PWO is exhausting sometimes, man.

I strongly disagree with you about Al Snow vs. Christian, but I have no reason to disbelieve you when it comes to the demographic information you're providing about Columbus, OH, even though I'm not sure being a top test market and bellwether state for national elections quite translates into how the entire country might have viewed Christian and Al, respectively.

If Mox got the skin on his face torn off and it showed a Terminator skull I wouldn't be surprised.

man i wish they did more onita-like headbutts

Same. I'll also say Bryce dressing in the hazmat suit like a 90's FMW ref. is a neat touch.

Anyway, I loved it when Onita and Goto did it back in the early 90s, but this isn't working for me. Also the 30 minute explosive announcement is a spoiler.

Those explosives on the outside were bad, but a wild nasty bump at least to make up for it.

yesssss a thunder fire powerbomb

Don Callis is infinitely more entertaining on commentary than Jim Ross. I really like what he's added to this match.
