    so i was doing a rewatch of dsotr and i came across the chris benoit episode and it made me realize how thankful i am that you don’t really see any chairs in aew at all - aside from a few rare occurrences of heavily protected ones.

    and then it made me realize how sad i am that the hottest period for wrestling in history happened during a time that took so much out of the performers. i really wish time travel was possible so the attitude era and ecw could never have happened.

      I don’t think I would want the attitude era nor ecw to never have happened (way, way too many timeline changes, very wibley wobley), but a different history would have been preferred where we were smarter about things that had been done in the ring (chairshots, etc)

      That being said 90%+ of the wrestlers would still be pilled up loons regardless so we’d be only marginally better off.
