    Zach Gowen was apparently hated by everyone in WWE. Also think he had a serious drug problem for years. He had quite an interesting storyline for a while. Beat Big Show and Matt Hardy to be fair to him. Left quite suddenly though and was in TNA for a short period.

    I'll always be bitter about how short RVD's title run was. A guy that was over so consistently for so many years, such an excellent worker too. He deserved better. Always got a massive pop when he returned at various times too.

    There's two things WWE always * up, 1.) big guys/monsters type of wrestlers that eventually get turned into complete jokes. Kane, Big Show, Rusev, etc. 2.) Factions that should be great but disband too early. SES was definitely one of them, was an amazing faction and got unreal heat and basically all the 3 other members were inexplicably let go of. I'm not even convinced of what they're doing with the Wyatt Family now. For the first year or so they were great, but the way they disbanded was stupid and have just been thrown back together because no one gave a * about Rowan and to a lesser extent Harper as singles competitors.

    The crowd's did indeed always love RVD, I think he would struggle to get boos out of the crowd if he tried :smiley-laughing002:They even cheered him during the ECW Invasion angle years ago :icon_mrgreen:

    Yeah I remember that, I think JR even mentioned it a few times, it was amazing how he instantly connected with the crowd (though many would have known him from ECW). Was immediately turned face once the invasion angle was over.

    Anybody been to see the wrestling at any point? And if so what wrestlers did you see ? I saw WWE in 2002 or 2003 I think it was, at Glasgow SECC and a few year's later at Braehead Arena. I saw the likes of Austin, Taker, Triple H, Hardys, JBL, Flair, Lesnar.
    It was at the point when the NWO was together so I was hoping to see Hbk and maybe even Hogan just for the * of it but it didn't happen :icon_mrgreen:

    I was at some summer tour in 2005 in Dublin. The main event was Cena/Angle/JBL with Austin as special guest ref, Eddie vs Mysterio was also on the card. Torrie took her kit off too and my parents were confused about what type of event this actually was.

    Would've been cool to see Angle and Rock as well. I just remembered I saw Big Show too, and he looked even more awkward than he does on tv :smiley-laughing002:
