While not that far removed from eras, Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Sean O'Haire comes to mind.

[Dave Meltzer] CM Punk and FTR will headline Collision while The Elite and BCC will headline Dynamite. Chris Jericho is rumoured to be part of the Saturday show to feud with Punk.

Heyman's SmackDown was the first time I ever became invested about in-ring content in WWF/E, even going back to when I started watching in the early 90s. It actually felt innovative, and they desperately needed that

And they've also been depicting a 1920s black-and-white style for Mickey and Minnie on merch and cartoons for the last few years or so. It's likely that they realized 100-year-old cartoons are never going to be profitable for them anymore, but producing content with that particular style is more viable.

I don't think they can do that. The copyright for the original cartoon is expiring, but trademarks never expire, and Disney will always have the trademark.

The reason the Pooh slasher movie was able to be made is that the A.A. Milne book copyrights expired, but the character depictions weren't based on any specific trademarked design.

For it to be Codyverse, shouldn't there be constant booing when he's onscreen/apathy from fans, with no self-awareness that he's being kind of a dick? Because there's none of that on TV or in this post.

[Dave Meltzer] I know I shouldn't waste time with rude people, but if we're within 1/2 star IT MEANS WE AGREE. If we're more than a star apart, it mean we don't and that's okay too because it's an opinion. by abzonline in SquaredCircle

Remember the overreaction that was Twilight Princess getting an 8.8 from GameSpot where a ton of people thought it was too low?
