Due to popular forum angst, I've decided to open a special place to release. Here.

Feel free to discuss the state of the WWE or just the good old days of Degeneration-X, or even further back if you can remember.

To start off: should they revive the hardcore belt, or the ladder matches? Those matches alone made for great viewing, better than a simple table match ;____;

And if you could revive a wrestler from the gutter to bring out next week, who would it be? My pick would be Mankind - not Mick Foley of the present, writing books and being spat on, but from the late 90s when he was the Hardcore champion.

And don't get me started about the shabby treatment Foxtel has given the WWE broadcasts ;________; + angst++

isnt there some sort of secret wrestling thread somewhere here, much like this aussie thingy?

Shift Key · « **Reply #3 on:** February 11, 2004, 01:03:20 AM »

Well if there is, then I had no clue. I thought it was Bloodworth calling us idiots as usual

...so much for all that angst! ;__;

akdaman1 · « **Reply #4 on:** February 11, 2004, 11:47:46 PM »

I was just about to make this.

But to you Americans who watch the shows on Tuesdays or whatever...please dont spoil it for us livin in Australia. We get Raw on fridays and smackdown on Saturdays. So please dont spoil it.

And I believe The Rock should come back next week. ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY

Termin8Anakin · « **Reply #5 on:** February 12, 2004, 01:54:52 AM »

What the hell is there to spoil, Akdaman?

Wrestling, while fun to watch the hard-boiled ACTORS in the ring BATTLE it out for WORLD (

) champion wrestler or some crap, whilst listening to the OVER THE TOP commentary, is pretty much darn boring.

The whole SPORT is fake, a multi-million dollar acting deal for those who couldn't act. I don't know why anyone watches it.

*punches Akdaman whilst stomping very hard on the floor, so that it sounds like a punch, to which Akdaman must fall down hard, breaking his back for real, whist holding his hand in pain like a pro soccer player would*

I find it a source of great sadistic comedy, some of the finest mankind can produce without involving eletricity and some one's or something's groin, dead or alive.

I mean it is funny as seeing grown men pretend to beat the crapper out of each other and getting hurt because they stuffed up. If anything else the Mexicans are the best to watch. They fight like they have nothing to lose but thier lives and probaly they don't care about that either.

Shift Key · « **Reply #7 on:** February 12, 2004, 02:40:46 PM »

The funniest parts are the lame acting, the stuff-up moves (guys BOTH falling over is still hilarious) and the fact the Spanish announcer's desk is always destroyed at every main event

It's like a soap opera, but for blokes, because it has motorbikes and cleavage and Mexican wrestlers you can't understand!

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #8 on:** February 12, 2004, 06:21:59 PM »

Although I think the wrestling shows are pretty stupid, the wreslers themselves get more crap than they deserve. I men, they're pretending sure, but everyone except for a few kids will jab at them. They all have to act to a level which allows them to decieve people while performing extremely physical moves, which is no easy task; and they're all very strong and extremley well built. This requires much discipline.

I see it as an evolved form of the gladiators of Roman times.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 12, 2004, 08:54:05 PM »

Ummm ...this is a wrestling discussion ...and you people tease it ?

Who cares if its fake ? Would you really want men to throw each other off 15 foot cages in real life ?

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #10 on:** February 12, 2004, 10:56:40 PM »

I stopped watching wrestling in November 2002. Got sick of it, too much talking, too much of the McMahon's on air, the way females were used, and the LACK of actual wrestling....which I don't think I'll ever see again. *sobs*

The Rock is legendary you jabroni. The Rock is gonna do to you exactly what he does best and thats layeth the smackadown on your roody poo CANDY ASSSS . If Ya Smell WHat the Rock ....is cookin.

The Rock, as a babyface, was nothing more than a catchphrase-spewing, four-move brawler that did nothing but took up time that Steve Blackman could have had.

Akdaman: "The Scorpion King has a tiny ding-a-ling! Ooh, its cold!"

Ocarina Blue: The WWE is the most popular because it entertains, not because its real. If you want a real sport without the drama, go watch EPSN or something. And people jabbing at them? Sure, there are wrestlers who are loathed by the fans, but that's part of all the entertainment. I'll give you the point that the women are stilll treated like objects, but its not as bad as it has been in the past *insert mud wrestling match here*.

A few friends and I gather for our ritual RAW nights on Tuesday nights still, even though it is on Friday nights now

and its still as funny as always. Its not the same as the old days of the Alliance and Degeneration-X (in my opinion the greatest era of the WWF * jumps into flame-retardant suit*) but its still fun to watch.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2004, 10:27:20 AM »

I actually enjoy all the promos because they build up suspense for the matches.

But Shifty is right , the days of the alliance and DX were awsome. What about the corporation eh ? When they would make Austins life a living hell , and Rock and his fueds with Triple H amd the Undertaker.

I find that todays wrestling aint as good because The McMahons aint there as often , and Austin and Rock have been out for quite some time.

True, they do, but they go for too long. Most of them can be done in half the time taken.

Whoa! Why didn't someone tell me this sooner!?

Less McMahons on TV!? Awesome. I hate Stephanie's voice. Hardly no Austin and Rock!? Awesome X2!

And Kurt Angle looks silly with his head shaved.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 13, 2004, 08:12:21 PM »

Heh

Austin is still there , but he doesnt wrestle ...he is a sherrif who makes sure nothing goes wrong.

Rock should be returning in the next 2 weeks to lay the smackadown on Evoloution.

And Vince is the only McMahon on WWE.

oohhboy · « **Reply #15 on:** February 14, 2004, 01:10:29 AM »

Sounds good, but we don't get wrestling here anymore. Haven't gotten any for like a couple years now.

Anyhow I had stopped watching myself way before that. Mostly the same reason, the over long promos, too much McMahonieness, too many matches that didn't finish with a winner or desended into a brawl, too many ugly chicks, not enough cool moves, not enough stuff breaking, too much uninspired talk(Mostly from the Rock). The list goes on.

I say bring on all the Mexicans. They are ALWAYS good to watch.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #16 on:** February 14, 2004, 09:23:54 AM »

Uninspired talk ? ...The Rock is ALWAYS , and The Rock means ALWAYS inspired and fresh.

Although these last few episodes of Raw and Smackadown ( except last nights Smackdown ) have been really good. Eddie Guerrero is the #1 contender for the title on Smackdown and Chris Beniot WAS supposed to be on Raw until Shawn Micheals screwd him up. ( Expect a triple threat for the title at Wrestlmania ).

Foley is back and he has a fued going with Randy Orton and the rest of Evoloution ( expect The Rock to come back soon and help Mick Foley even out the numbers ).

And ....who can forget the second greatest Wrestler along with Eddie G , CHRIS JERICO !!! Man this guy just keeps gettin better and better , hes matches are never ever boring and he has great mic skills. ''

And ....who can Forget about the Undertaker ? , he is COMING BACK ....as the Phenom , the gothic Taker. ( Y'knoe the one with the Micky Mouse tattoos and the 33 pound head.

WRESTLEMANIA 20 is gonna be AWSOME ...although this weeks No Way Out has a really WEAK CARD.

Shift Key · « **Reply #17 on:** February 15, 2004, 01:14:38 AM »

Man, there was a "You suck" chant that started at the basketball on Saturday night when Kurt Angle's entrance music started, because an opposition player who was being an idiot all night (he threw the ball into the crowd at half time - that was ugly). That was cool. Not many people got it though.

oohhboy: You're lucky you've missed the wrestling recently, because Chavo and Eddie Guerro have been fighting eachother for the last month

. Eddie won their match at Smackdown, and it looks like he's got a shot at the title at Wrestlemania.

Akdaman: I wouldn't say Benoit has been screwed over with his title shot, but having two take on HHH is better than one. Hopefully Evolution don't interfere on this one *another

*

akdaman1 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 15, 2004, 08:53:41 AM »

AAAhhhh yeh ..he was screwed over , he is now most likley gonna be in a triple threat match with BOTH HBK and HHH.

I have to say this weeks Smackdown was hopeless , one of the worst ever , and tonights PPV has a really weak card.

ThePerm · « **Reply #19 on:** February 15, 2004, 08:54:44 AM »

as far as the rock goes he was pretty cool when he was rising to the top...but now that he's there he's pretty poppy...wrestling aint what it use to be...but I watched confidential yesterday..and they had Chris Jericho going through japan and it was hillarious.

akdaman1 · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2004, 11:31:53 PM »

Yeh but the Rock is coming back soon for a Tag match at Wrestlmania 20 wif Mick Foley.

Even though he is poppy , he still Rocks ( get it )

And yeh Jericho rocks ( get it )

akdaman1 · « **Reply #21 on:** February 21, 2004, 08:01:34 PM »

O.K ... I have a major spoiler as to the exact date for Rocks return , and although I COULD make a spoiler tag , I would rather just blurt it out. ( Because if you are like me , then you will always want to see whats under the spoiler tag even though you know it will ruin everything ) ...if some of you oppose to the return date then I cant tell you unless you PM me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!!!!!

Shawn Micheals is back?! That is a surprise. And Foley too. He wanted to get completely away from wrestling a few years back. I can't believe Foley is wrestling again.

Shift Key · « **Reply #23 on:** February 22, 2004, 12:48:27 AM »

Michaels has been back for a while after his back injury, and they're playing the HHH vs Michaels / Soured Friendship card a lot on Raw.

Foley is still more of a guest wrestler (because he's in a vendetta with Orton), but he did team up for a "Rock and Sock Connection" with you-know-who a while ago so perhaps he'll become an active roster member again?

I really don't believe your rumour about Rock returning, Akdaman - show me some proof, because I've heard nothing. If its at Wrestlemania, I'd be majorly surprised, because apart from the matches for the belts and the dead rising they're being very quiet about a supposed return of the Rock.

Uncle Rich AiAi · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2004, 12:51:23 AM »

I thought Michaels would never wrestle again b/c of his back injury?
