davehoffa Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yeah, I like wrestling. There's nowhere good to read about it on the internet, so I started a blog named The Stunt Granny with my friend. Check it out over here and leave wrestling-related comments! http://stuntgranny.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youarethere Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 We ordered Wrestlemania on PPV but it didn't work so we got it free in the end with all of the repeats! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehoffa Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Nice. Mania was pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monk0nuggets Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 My GFs little brother is obsessed. It is basically his life. He's 10 and could tell you any stupidly minute fact about anything to do with WWE. It's quite ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youarethere Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I thought the 2000 Royal Rumble was the best thing ever. The street fight and Jeff Hardy jumping off of the balcony was so awesome. And Rikish in the ring on his own waiting for someone to come out!:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forgeagain Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Though I loved it when I was like 10, it's pretty terrible now. The guys who are the big headliners today (for the most part) are a bunch of fucking jobbers. Seriously, why the hell does anyone even care about these dudes? No personality. Lame characters, etc. When the Rock first struck it big in the late 90s and he feuded with Stone Cold, DX, etc. that shit was hilarious. The second they merged with WCW it became completely unwatchable. Granted, I'm sure they have the occasional funny thing on there now, but the wrestling itself is just completely stupid. Without the hilarious storylines and creative characters, I might as well just watch gay porn. There are still some decent dudes like HHH...but really, how much screen time do you need to give to The Miz and Jeff Hardy? Gross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have always enjoyed good quality wrestling, but it definitely really sucks these days. Badly. How many times do they expect people to pay for Undertaker/Edge matches? And various incarnations of Cena/Orton/Triple H matches? I'm sick of the roid monkeys and the "giants" who can barely walk. The guys who can actually put on decent matches (CM Punk, Jericho, Michaels, the Hardys) are always buried in the undercard and squashed. And now they're bending over backwards to be family friendly, hyping their kids magazine and nixing any edgy content, so it's as bad as the 80s all over again. I hope another decent era cycles through eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Sorry Dave, I just can't back modern wrestling. When I was 10 I loved watching the Rockers not win the tag-team titles 100 times, but at this point it's just so corny I can't handle it unless there's some captivating hilarity behind it. I want backstage antics, such as electrifying eulogies, throwing guys off bridges, dropping I-beams on buses, spraying the people in the ring down with a giant beer truck firehose, setting snare traps in the locker room, crashing a guy's dad's funeral and chaining the casket to the back of your car and driving away with him on top of the casket in tow, feeding a guy's DOG to him, and more fame-assers than I can count on two hands. I don't want separate leagues on the different shows, show drafts, managers, etc. That shit might satisfy the rubes, but I just can't handle it.

jacobe Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I miss the gimmicks, that's what I enjoyed about it. Now it's a bunch of meatheads with real names and zero personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
