daWappla:
I stopped watching wrestling on a regular basis years ago (simply because they don´t show it here and I can´t be bothered to download every show) but I still read all the results etc... So, while I don´t know too much about the performance of younger guys I don´t have the feeling that I´m missing out on something. I mean, wrestling/sports entertainment is basically dead since WCW went out of business. Without any competition it´s just boring.
I was a WWF mark to the fullest back around 89 to 94 and although a friend of mine was heavily into wrestling in general (WCW, Japan, taping trades and what not) I never got into WCW. It was just 2nd class to me. Then when the NWO started you know that it was the hottest thing going and I was watching Nitro every week. It was a mix of bringing in older WWF guys and the element of surprise. Every week there happened something. You couldn´t afford to miss one single Nitro , I was hooked. That also made WWF work their asses off and, of course, in the long run they won.
Nowadays it´s just shit. I don´t even bother downloading Summerslam now. Think about it, someone said that it´s disappointing that SS was so weak because it´s one of the original 4 PPV´s. It´s not only one of the original four, it used to be the second highest WWF ppv ever and people knew it by the caliber of matches. Rumble and Survior Series were "just" gimmick ppv´s. Now you guys say that this years Summerslam was disappointing and when I look at the results and the reviews it doesn´t make me go look for a download link like it should.
Even though they might be very critical about their product in Stamford, without some major competition it will be very hard to pull themselves out of this mediocracy.
(I guess though, just to really have an opinion, I go and look for a download link :D )
Mo Z. Dizzle:
i dunno what's going on with the creative team.
before, the tag divisions, CW division and women's division were crappy; but the main eventers were pretty good.
now even that's starting to become shit.
they should end the roster split already; the main reason that was created was to give lower-tiered wrestlers a push but they haven't done that. so comebine everything and just create good main events.
btw, Daivari needs some sorta push; he's hilarious IMO, esepcially last week when he was hugging Vince and calling him Baba (means father)
Sikotic™:
Daivari is very underrated. He can do it all in the ring, but they never utilize him unless it's as a joke. I'm surprised he hasn't been released yet by the way they throw him around from brand to brand. I think he's been to Raw and Smackdown twice already, and also ECW.
westkoastanostra:
who remembers christian cage's theme in wwe b4 leaving to tna? that was the shit!
