Watching some attitude era stuff, did anybody really care about Cornette, Jarrett, and their NWA stable or was that just go away heat because nobody knew who the fuck they were?

Literally zero reaction, but I'd rather watch this than 95% of the trash that gets presented on modern wrestling shows.
Yeah people cared about them. Wrestling wasnt console war bullshit like it is now, everybody watched everything. NWA was still a mainstream brand at that point even if it was dead and Cornette had been on TV for 20 straight years at that point
Corny was never really over outside of hometown appearances (who isn't) and his legacy got astroturfed by internet smarks who liked his shoot interviews
double J looking like a power ranger
>Wrestling wasn't console war bullshit like it is now
>The fucking Monday Night Wars wasn't console war bullshit
Fuck I hate zoom zooms
Cornette won WON's Manager of the Year back when there were actually good managers like Heenan around before he ever did a single shoot interview.
In fact he won that award every single year from 1983 to 1996 apart from twice.
He's literally killed his legacy in shoot interviews, not the opposite. He was as good a manager as Danielson was a technical wrestler.
>Wrestling wasnt console war bullshit like it is now,
lmao
>NWA was still a mainstream brand at that point
kek
No the Monday Night Wars wasn't console war bullshit. That's exactly how both companies did such massive ratings - people switched between the two and were double counted in the quarter hours.
Which you'd know if you werent about 16 or some shit or a mark who gets their history from WWE Network documentaries
NWA was at its peak less than 10 years earlier. It's about the same difference as One Night Stand in 2005 - did it look like people had forgotten ECW by then?
>ITT: Ancient smark having to educate kids who learned wrestling from Vince McMahon
>Comparing ECW and One Night Stand in 2005 to NWA in 1998 during a time where majority of the audience wanted edgy storylines, gimmicks, and more violence.
You're a special kind of dimwit. The only ones who were keeping "tradition" alive in some capacity was WCW, and they had been their own brand for 5 years at that point and were even doing edgier things by their own standard. The official ending and final in the coffin of NWA was when Shane Douglas tossed the belt on the ground at an ECW event in '94. After that it was dead in the water and completely irrelevant. I'm not saying that a few old timers in the crowd forgot about it completely, but most people did not give a fuck about NWA in 1998. They were doing shows at high school gyms that year featuring a bunch of unknowns. ECW was even a more mainstream company than NWA at that point.

Fuck me, you just believe whatever shit Vince tells you don't you?
>ECW was even a more mainstream company than NWA at that point.
ECW wasn't a mainstream company until WWE brought it back. It was always a little known smark company.
dis user knows what he is talking about
ECW didnt even have TV until the end
50% sure it was a rib on corny
Cornette has an hour-long rant on this storyline

Nah boomer here, everyone loved or loved to hate Corney . His shoot interviews is what buried him in many peoples minds
>WON
>Not smark shit
Monday Night Wars brah. Vince is still seething over it
NWA stopped being relevant when WCW split with them, it died when Shane Douglas threw it down, double died when TNA gave them the boot and its corpse is now being paraded around by big tunes Billy in an abandoned warehouse in Atlanta
>Cornette, Jeff Jarrett, Barry Windham, The Rock 'n' Roll Express, Bart Gunn, Bob Holly, Dan Severn
what a weird ass stable for the attitude era
>ECW was even a more mainstream company than NWA at that point.
t. Obese smelly philly trash idiot
Anyone who cared about NWA alredy watched WCW. That's where most of their top talent went to anyways. This was just some invasion angle to try to combat the NWO angle
Russo let Corny do the NWA shit just to prove that the audience didn't give a shit
