Been totally out of touch for the last couple of months or so, last thing I remember was that the Undertaker was back and scared the hell out of that Booker T guy...anything interesting happen since?
Undertaker is still fighting Booker T
You haven't missed much at all

Bradshaw is still fighting Eddie Guerrero. He even managed to give eddies mother a "heart attack"
Kurt Angle is a jack in the box with some big ugly dude pushing him around in his wheelchair
Smackdown has been poor altogether
Raw has been better
can't think of anything else

I think there are some big blokes in tights, pumped up on steriods, poncing around pretending to hit each other.
plus there are some playboy rejects made mainly of plastic bitch slapping each other in skimpy bits of lycra in a totally un sexy way.
all pretty embarrasing really.

apparently dudleys have kidnapped paul bearer !
the smackdown! brand is very poor these days..really lacks direction and any kind of interest for the fans.
RAW is miles better.
btw Stone Cold is in talks with VMcM to come back again. He has been told that if it were up to VMcM he could have the rights to the 'Stone Cold' image which is what they fell out about.
Money talks though, he'll be back. The soundbites and live shows just aint the same without him. There are far too many 'wooden' newbies at the moment.

hehe really? that should be fun!!crappycraperson said:
Smakdown! really sucks currently..
It's depending on Eddie to anchor the show, and he's not doing a very good job.
Moreover, they don't have enough "baddies". Bradshow is a joke.

Simpler still,I'll post a thread in the Admn Mod forum saying BAN ME! BAN ME!crappycraperson said:why don u post them
psh! you losers, wrestling's fake. 
It's hard for Eddie to do a good job anchoring the show when their #1 heel is Bradshaw. Even the most gifted, talented wrestler would have trouble anchoring a show while feuding with Bradshaw.
oh, and how stupid is Eugene on Raw? God dammit that whole thing is just pissing me off

Eugene rules. Why no love for Eugene?
now UNDERTAKER is being controlled by Paul Haymon. wat a drama
wat a dramaand Eddie Guerrero is still fighting Bradshaw
But why no love for Eugene?
Whens Stone Cold coming back, he is the backbone to Wrestling, he is the reason i watch it. When he goes i go, when he returns ill return. Everyone else just isnt the same, Rock is too busy making movies, he comes then dissapears. Undertaker just isnt the same, Kane was better with the mask, Mankind was a legend, Triple HHH is a poof !
Bring back the matches where they put all the superstars in a cage.
Stone Cold
Undertaker
Kane
Rock
Kurt
Rakishi
HHH
I think i added someone there that shouldnt be, but still. And bring back the taker + kane vs Stone Cold war. Get stone cold wrestling again. His neck couldnt be that bad, the injury occurred ages ago !

Stone Cold's neck is bolloxed, I think the doctors signed him off for 4 matches a year providing measures are taken to ensure his neck is protected, this means no tombstones from the taker
Its not been the same since Raw and Smackdown split I think. Used to watch it religiously every friday and saturday nights, get a few beers in, mates round and fire up the ps2 and watch WWF/WWE.
Now its just rubbish.
As for Rock, well he still works for WWE but does the movies now. Watch the credits for the movies Rock does and see who the executive producer is...
I miss the old DX feuds, Trip, X-Pac (even though he was crap and gay) et al. The last time I really enjoyed it was the Rock vs Hogan match, absolute legends.

It's not like the ballet dancing, steroidal nonces actually touch each other anway is it?Bring back Big Daddy and Mick McManus, at least they knew it was a panto. This American shite is like The A Team without the humour and the explosions and certainly doesn't belong in the Other Sports forum.

Don't be so hard on it.... oh, by the way, we know its not real, noone pretends it is ... its a soap opera and a couple of years ago it was probably the best thing on tv.
At the best of times its emotional, infuriating, spectacular and a source of inspiration (see Wrestlemania). At the worst of times its boring, slow and verging on pornographic/
redstar1 said:
If you know it's not real what's the point. As for soap opera, I can just about hack Corrie and Eastenders where the acting and script occasionally produce the odd gems but I don't see the point in the rest of them though. If yank wrestling is supposed to be a soap opera though, it's even worse than all the Aussie tripe and probably ranks alongside "The Bold and The Beautiful" and similar trash. If that was the best thing you could find on TV, turn it off and go out, read a book, listen to some music or get a DVD of one of the millions of class films out there which are both entertaining and legitimately entitled to refer to themselves as art.
I'm sorry I just don't see the point in this sort of drivel and genuinely believe it is contributing to the dumbing down of our already stupid society.
Bury Red said:
My reasons for watching:
1) When someone new enters the frey, they normally do so in a spectacular way. It's normally very cool to watch this part
2) pr0n
3) Comedy - Some of the stuff is very funny
However, a lot of the pragrams are tripe now and I find myself recording it and fast forwarding around an hour of the two hour show. It gets lame fast and most wrestlers get stale and boring within a month.
Bury Red said:
spot on Bury Red, i said similar things in another post. there is no positive to be drawn from this lowest common denominator.
How can you people invest time in this bilge?
Wolfboy said:
Obviously, its something we enjoy watching. Therefore its something we must invest time into - Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't, or shouldn't.
Still thinking of a name said:
At no point do i say you shouldn't, but it remains a mystery to me that anyone does. I would say that there is nothing positive to be drawn from it. What is inspirational about oversized freaks acting out choreographed violence.
I don't see the comedy, there is no acting talent what so ever (established star or 'wooden newbies'), the women are even worse andthere are much more spectacular and impressive examples of physical exertion out there to see.
If you really count watching the 'women' on there as porn you really should go out and meet some real girls.
Wolfboy said:
Where did I ever say porn? Sorry, I think you are on the outside of the whole pr0n thing.
Nobody watches it to get acting tips. However wrestlers have somehow managed to get acting parts - Some big, so obviously there is a small amount of acting talent there.
Its light hearted comedy at its best and boring tripe at its worst - But its tv and there are more pointless shows.
Still thinking of a name said:
yeah, sorry, i thought it was a typing mistake there. fair enough.
but i have to take you up on the acting bit. No wrestler has got a part in a film based on acting talent; they are just weak attempts by the movie makers to wring a bit more cash from the ready dumbed down wrestling audience by putting their fav stars on the screen.
If you think that there has been a good performance by a wrestler then you must like the work of the great actors Van Dam, Segal and Diesel.
Wolfboy said:
If they can't act at all, they would not be in the movie - At all. Sure, its mostly for their fame and face or whatever but they are obviously good enough for the parts they are given, otherwise they simply wouldn't get the parts.
As for the acting of those so called great actors?
Diesel is terrible.
Don't for a second think that I enjoy wrestlers acting, because they are so much worse, but using Diesel as an example of a good actor... I mean, really? He's just a pumped guy with little acting ability himself. I loved Pitch Black and the Fast and the Furious - But certainly not because of his acting ability. The stars of these types of films are the special effects, not the bad acting of the oversized talking bear.
Segal and Van Damme, sure - But lets not pretend they are the forefront of the greatest actors alive either.
De Niro, Willis and Affleck might have ben better examples don't you think? Or did you use the above because they are simply action film actors?
Still thinking of a name said:
I was being sarcastic. I was suggesting that wrestlers do not get their parts because they can act but instead because people who are amused by loud noises and shiny things will go and watch the film because they are in it.
I think your response says more for my argument than I could ever say.

Then you are right - But its the same for all action films, its not the acting that matters but the overall gimmik which is something wrestlers have often been doing for decades before getting a part in a film.
I defy anyone to not be entertained by the promo's (and to an extent the bouts) when Rock, Triple H, Kurt Angle etc were on top of the game. I admit its gone hideously downhill since the competition all but disappeared but thats not to say its not legitimate TV, in the same way Jackass, or the Osbournes are. I enjoy (or enjoyed) watching it very much, and I aint dumb, nor do I feel the need to hit people over the head with chairs.
Still thinking of a name said:
Exactly, Rock isn't a great actor from what I've seen, but he is a great entertainer, and still a huge name, which is why he continues to get movie deals.
There is talk of Triple H getting a part in the new Conan movie, and this is of course based on his image.
redstar1 said:
Isn't he in the new Blade Trinity film too?
If people knew why the level of skill involved in performing the most basic wrestling match they might rethink their position. The level of athleticism, and conditioning of some of these blokes is frightening. No other theatrical artform requires the sort of precision and guile that wrestling mandates, mistakes can end in critical injuries or worse. It continues to enthrall me that seemingly delinquint guys can get into a ring and appear to beat the daylights out of each other and return home to their comfortable white collar suburbs and conventional nuclear families unscathed. It also amazes me that in some cases these blokes are willing to fall from turnbuckles, ladders, cages and even balconies onto tables or concrete floors, risking life and limb all in the name of entertainment. For this reason alone I think wrestling deserves some sort of affirmation as a legitimate artform.
Some of us also find a thrill in the gladitorial notion of men settling scores in front of an audience, the old fashioned way. The cheesy pagentry and ridiculous clothes and posturing may appear laughably contrived and a bit gay to some, but it adds an element of fun to the whole affair.
These days it's marketed and packaged to appeal to the lowest common denominator and there might be a case made for it's influence in the dumbing down of society, but for all it's derelict idiocy it's entertaining and I doubt anyone particularly watches it for refinement.

I do follow WWE once a while since the Hulk Hogan/Ultimate Warrior era and from my observation, the wrestlers are superb athletes, extraordinary stuntman and great entertainers….not many people can perform choreographed high flying and dangerous stunts week in and week out, LIVE in front of thousands of screaming fans, there cant be any mistakes, tedious and proper training must be carried out daily, rehearsals must be practiced frequently…
It’s easier when the fight is real, as the only objective is to beat the hell out of your opponents and win the fight, but it’s 100 times more difficult for anyone to stage a fake battle or choreographed fight in front of a live audience……….
I met the whole bunch of them few years back when we brought them to Malaysia to promote The Rock’s movie Scorpion King, and surprisingly they are a bunch of decent and funny guys(actually Torrie Wilson’s tits were the main focus of everyone in the room when we were having a press conference… )….Chris Jericho was especially very nice and friendly, chatting and joking with everyone, but when he was on stage, he’s a totally different person, swearing and spitting and made everyone boo him, he was a real feck face on stage and played his villainous character superbly (he was a top cnut then)….
Real or fake, I just respect those feckers for their professionalism as a sports entertainer…..

Been long time since i posted.
I miss the Stone Cold attitude. Where he would constanly be at war with the boss, driving a beer truck into the arena, climbing on the top of it and jumping over a wall of police officers in order to attack the boss.Then having 20 men trying to pull stone cold back from tearing the shit out of the boss, or when Austin and Tyson had a go at each other. Those days were the best. Everyone against Austin and austin blowing up things, beating the hell out of people. What about when wcw/ecw invaded WWF. Austin coming back to WWF and kicking the shit out of all the wcw/ecw men.
Yes its fake but isnt 90% of the shit on tv also fake ? We dont watch it as a sport we watch it like a show. As someone said at the best of times its very very entertaining, i too would watch Raw and Smackdown, but these days it hasnt been the best and its been like a year since ive watched the show. Its just not interesting anymore, theres no story line, its just young guys now trying to be the next big thing but they just dont have a personality like the Austins, the rocks, the undertakers, the kanes...it is bollox now, but it wasnt a few years back.
If people are so against it then why get urselves so worked up over nothing ? dont watch it then, dont post in here...if u cant accept it to be fake and play along with it then dont bother watching it.
