The Pro-Wrestling Thread?

Anyone here watch(or use to watch) Wrestling? WWE, TNA, ROH, PWG, Anything.

Personally I haven't been keeping up with Wrestling lately cuz it's all uber shit. I'm stating to get back into the indy promotions tho. I went to DGUSA's first Anniversary show with Brian Danielson vs Shingo. Fucking legendary night.

I used to watch WWF/E constantly in the periods of 1999-2005 but then it got really boring/stupid/childish and I started just checking out the website like when i remember to, to check whats going on. Speaking of which *goes to check wwe.com* Well what do you know, its full of "OMFG JOHN CENA DOES THIS OR THAT W00T!!!". Glad to see that hasn't changed for the last 5 years... Damn I miss WWF... I don't watch TNA, because we didn't get it on cable for quite some time, but I watched some episodes on Eurosport, when they were mostly doing X-Division matches which were entertaining as hell. But now from what I gather its become the place where ex-wwe wrestlers go to after they are released from wwe.

I watched the WWF in the late 90's and early 2000's, you know, back when it still was the WWF. They were pretty good times for a while, but eventually, shot just got stupid.

Yeah that pretty much sums up the current state of wrestling. I starting watching it in 2005 so I saw the WWE on it's last legs. I have a bunch of old WWF tapes of all the shows from 97 till 04 so even tho I was never around for wrestling when it was good, I kinda was in a way.

I did go see a few WWF matches when they came to Tampa, and actually had a pretty good time. Couldn't understand what they were saying down on ring-level, but whatever. Wrestling back then wasn't quite as dialogue heavy as it is now anyways.

I used to be a huge wrestling fan. I still have a ton of the DVDs, but I just can't watch the modern stuff anymore. It's just so boring and telegraphed.

i have to completely agree with you on that!

i was a big Hulk Hogan/Undertaker fan, then when the WCW/nWo Angle started up in late 97 until WWF bought the wcw.

since then, it's big nothing more than a crapfest.

the mid 90's had the best storylines like the undertaker vs steve austin feud.

today outside of john cena, there isn't any household names.

FINALLY, The Rock has come back!

If Rowdy Roddy Piper isn't involved, I am not interested.
