Wrestling/Opinion Link

[ap215]

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links but a friend of mine is looking for some die hard wrestling fans to join the site. Low number of members (4) so I hope things will pick up soon. Hope you like it guys.http://insiders.proboards7.com/

 

[Rok]

I'd join but I think you need more smark fans.

 

[LAZY]

You guys have topics from 2002 that no one responded to, I dont get it

Wrestling sucks, I don't know if this is allowed either. I'll let this go, since it's a small forum, but WWE is pathetic.

[SunnyD]

That's probably it. I've seen an episode or two, that's why I don't watch anymore.

I still watch wrestling from time to time, and there are alot of things that are good about it, and alot of things that are not good these days about the WWE.They have completely messed up ECW, and made it much worse than it used to be. If your not going to make it like it used to be, then get rid of it. Don't half-ass ECW like they are now, and make it like a junior raw circuit. I'm still pissed off about the outcome of that RVD vs Bob Lashley match. They should have started the match earlier, and made it a good 15-20 minute match. That could have been a kick ass match, but it looked just terrible, and was way to short. I hate how they had it end with a double injury because they didn't want one of their fan favorites to loose.

 

[Justice]

^^ yeah, the other thing that pissed me off was when RVD lost the championship to Big Show.I had a hefty suspicion that it was because of RVD's legal troubles with the whole smoking weed thing. Not 100% sure on that, though.

And why he will probably never win a world title in WWE for a while. He lost trust in Vince. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>They have completely messed up ECW, and made it much worse than it used to be.

It's gotta tank, the show's a disgrace to ECW. It's only a matter of time they rename the show to OVW/DSW when most of the ECW talent is gone, which should be by the end of the year. RVD's contract is up and Sabu's been in hot water. The others will slowly go back to their office jobs, indies, or retire. On Lashley, it's like most of the young guys their bringing in. Green and not enough experience. Lashley is horrible ring wise and worse on the mic. Just shows how downhill WWE is going.

Valo please watching stop watching ECW. It must dieWell I wouldnt say die. But if ECW wasnt called ECW it wouldnt be so bad. Idk if that makes any since. But what im trying to say is their ruining the name. Promoting ECW to fans(Young kids and their moms) really pisses me off. Because they have no history background of the old ECWBut idk if that would make the WWE better in genral. Cause whole business since the Attitude Era(The glory days of my childhood) has gone down. Nothing is as quality as what it use to be...fueds, wrestlers, writers, ppvs, Vince, and so on. I really cant complain though cause I have nothing to do with the organization, besides me being a regular view for Raw. But if they only had some damn competition. Thats how WWE kicked so much ass in the late 90's. The competiton with WCW, Vince was forced to do things he would have never done. You can call TNA competition, but thats on a Thusday. The only competition between TNA and WWE is transfering of wrestlers and the DX VKM/Angle beef

 

[Justice]

I pretty much told Rok it sucked this time around. I didn't watch the old ECW, but if it was as bad as this is.... I don't see the point of bringing it back. The interaction between Raw and ECW and so forth was unneeded entirely.

I think every ECW fan thought it would be similar. But they really just bought off the fans and thought they could sell it in name only afterwards. I mean how do they go from those PPV's to something like D2D for example. Then expect to have the same viewers and buys for the product. It's just a slap to the face. Also, ECW was nothing like what's being shown now. I would say the products to watch in wrestling right now that are similar in vain to ECW is ROH and if you were a fan of hardcore bouts, CZW. ROH imo is better than ECW as it's about wrestling, but without ECW there would be no ROH.

[ASUFan22]

That forum is terrible. I just fell kind of sad to see that for some reason

 

[ElMaster]

The only thing I don't like about wrestling is the obvious repeated storyline that even a 4 year old can predict. And also I hate all the fanboys who keep jumping from the "good guy" to the "bad guy"...if you're a fan of the wrestler you just don't stop being one just because he went "bad".

 

[Rok]

^Actually in the Attitude era, it was the opposite. Look at Stone Cold and The Rock. Both were heels who got popular and became faces.

 

[Rodenbo]

Yeah both were Heels and Faces at the same time. It wasn't that big of a factor back then, but it's all it's about now. Cena is a face so therefor only a heel can challenge for the title unless he turns heel. There isn't really any good heels that can challenge for it that already haven't. Both HBK and HHH are faces, Edge has had his chance, Randy Orton is too involved with the Rated RKO/DX thing with the other three. There really is no1.

 

[Rok]

^Edge deserves another chance, his title reigns have been short and he's a capable champion. Right now, Umaga seems to be the challenger for Cena's title but no one seems to care about it. At times, DX/Rated RKO has been the bigger picture, and not the title. Weird scenarios. But WWE needs to start shaping everything up better, because a lot of these matchups are boring. WWE needs to do another draft to shake things up. Make for more interesting feuds up to Mania.

He fakes the moves so crisply and cleanly, he has the charisma and star appeal, and he puts on great matches. I rarely ever see a match that Edge is in that leaves me dissapointed. I think he's the most interesting and best heel on any of the rosters. He is more than deserving to be champion again in my opinion.It's that way among Smackdown also though, not enough quality heels. Booker T is alright, but the next best heel after him is Ken Kennedy, who isn't bad but is still a little knew for my likings. I would like to see them turn Kane heel and have a monster battle between him and Batista. I think that could be a good feud if they did it.As for Umaga, I just really think that unbeatable monster that has the manager that talks for him is getting WAY to played out. TNA already has that with Abyss, and it's just not as entertaining. I don't think anyone really buys into Umaga that much, I know I sure don't.

 

[Rodenbo]

Edge is a great in ring performer. Once the DX-Rated RKO fued finishes, I think Edge is the only possible rival for Cena right now. I like the Edge/Cena rivalry because I've liked Edge ever since he was the teammate of Christian (he needs to come back btw). Edge and Cena had good battles of the mouth, which anyone that likes wrestling knows to be a good champion, you have to be a good performer as well as good on the mic.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>which anyone that likes wrestling knows to be a good champion, you have to be a good performer as well as good on the mic.</div>Agreed but WWE has gone away from that, I mean look at Lashley as ECW champ. <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>I like the Edge/Cena rivalry because I've liked Edge ever since he was the teammate of Christian (he needs to come back btw).</div>Christian's in TNA, less travel, near his home and he's getting a push that he didn't get in WWE. He's doing fine.

 

[Rodenbo]

Cena is great on the mic, as to why he's still got the title. I knew Umaga wouldn't win, he doesn't talk. And (watching RAW now) if Khali wins tonight, he won't have it any longer than a week. They are still doing it and Cena is nice.I've heard of a Orton/Cena match for Wrestlemania, but thats just speculation.
