Professional Wrestling

I watched the old WWF for a while back in, like, the Degeneration X days. Then I discovered it's the exact same frickin' storyline over and over that goes on for infinity with nothing but changes in the names and the amount of growling the particular flavor of the month decides to partake in.

And the formula for each match is more predictable than a freakin' sunrise.

Yeah fan right here.

But I can't help but feel like the quality of wrestling in the WWE in the past 5 years or so has been inversely proportional to the popularity of John Cena...

Maybe soon they'll put some Puroresu on Aussie TV. Then maybe they'll build a ClubMed on Mars.

I like it. WWE is alright, but I hate a lot of the wrestlers in it (Cena). TNA is what I usually watch.

I'm more of an MMA/UFC fan. Wrestling is just too flashy. I want fighting, not entertainment. Wow I sound sadistic.

I'm with you on this one. Wrestling to me is just body builders in weird, too-tight costumes grunting at each other. MMA, for me at least, is vastly more entertaining.

On a slightly related note, how can people watch boxing when UFC/MMA exists?

Yeah. Boxing is so boring compared to UFC/MMA. But I do like watching old boxing matches. Like Ali fights. That guy fought so well.

I'm not a "Rasslin" fan...

I'm a sports entertainment fan >___> *runs*

That does not help, was there any point to posting those videos?

I was really into wrestling when I was younger. It was daddy-daughter time, since I rarely saw my dad but we made a point of watching WWE together (or taping it and watching it on Sunday mornings after he and my mom separated).

I miss some of the older wrestlers. Eddie Guerrero, the Dudley Boyz, the Rock (of course), and my personal favorite (and hero), Mick Foley. The man lost an EAR in a Japanese match, gotta give him some respect.

I have also been put in bad submission holds of every type by my brother and his buddies, so I know how painful they can be when applied improperly. Walls of Jericho hurts like hell when you do it wrong.

I used to love watching it, but they stopped inventing cool new match types and so forth. I love undertaker's and DX's stuff. And 90's ECW.

 

[Jirlond]

Yeah I am a fan but recently my love is being lost - I loved TNA up until hulk hogan came in and ruined ANYTHING GOOD about the company.

I had a few years of not watching it after the attitude era finished just wasnt the same.

Although me and my friends watch the dvd's wwe release - they have immense nostalgia and entertainment. so far wwe's RVD dvd was the best. His matches in ECW were just......... incredible.

To tell you the truth, I was more into the wrestling of the 80's and 90's. NJPW and AJPW, and sometimes WWF, when it was still good. And, well mostly because: Fuck Yeah.
