Closest I could say to that is the halo LAN parties.

As somebody that used to be a huge wrestling mark I’ve had enough of the @DMoney and @Memnon angle. It’s time for the payoff. You can only have the chase this long until the fans start to lose interest. This is being booked worse than Sting / Hogan Starcade 97.

We know the storyline of the feud .

We’ve had the chase wetting our taste buds .

Memnon has been booked with enough heat to be the heel but like the Monday night wars I have to ask “ is he really the heel” or the anti hero”? It’s stone cold all over again. The heel is getting a baby face pop and the baby face is getting more heat than expected.

Could D$ be the Mr McMahon character or better yet the Rock when he went heel and joined the corporation ? Everyone says D$ is now part of the machine so maybe the booking might need to change. Something like an Austin Brett Hart double turn . The fans seem to be going towards Memnon.

Regardless we need to settle this and fast. The money has been drawn and it’s now time for the pay off. Imo it needs to be in the old blue steel cage , “ two men enter and only one leaves the winner”.

I’m personally tired of the back in forth with the promos , the run in’s and interring in each others threads / matches . Let’s find Jim Cornette and Dutch Mantel where we can figure out a finish then book it at a ppv. With @SWFLHurricane as the special guest enforcer. That way we won’t have any Nick Patrick type hijinks .

Lastly I come from the old school where you book heat, there’s likely going to be no decision just to squeeze one more match out of this like the previous mentioned Starcade 97.

ONLY ON PPV, meaning ad’s will be all around the video and you’ll only see half the screen.

If DMoney is Vince would that make Pete Shane?

If we are using wrestling analogies, I would compare D$ more to Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco and Mario is McMahon.
I guess that would make Memnon the SCSA in this storyline.,

Man. Late 90s getting together with my buddies with several TVs going Thursday/Monday and PPV on the weekends while we played N64

Didn’t get much better than that

I was in college and we made the investment to buy one of those old cable descramblers to get all the PPV events. The Monday Night wars were a thing to behold.

Yupppppp. My buddy did the same thing

Dude had like 6 of them 450lb 32 inch TVs in his basement, basically a NASA sized antenna on the roof so we could watch it all at the same time while we were playing 4 controller N64

As someone who is pro wrestling illiterate, I have absolutely no idea what any of the above means. What I do know is that it is most likely very well thought out and as Russell Ziskey famously said while sitting in the Army recruiting office, "We are willing to learn!"
