i actually used to watch it back in the WWF days and it was really enjoyable. then again i was a kid and had very little other options.... the personalities are definite a lot different - it used to be more 'fun' now its more 'dramatic' i doubt it'll reach the prestige it had in the past, but it'll keep going im sure. demolition, hart foundation, young stallions, greg valentine, jake roberts, randy, bam bam, tugboat, legion of doom, sheik, hogan - man, it was good times....
The Rock could have been a great action hero... but then he started doing shit movies like the Tooth Fairy.
Yup, Dustin Rhodes. I don't think there are any transvestite characters running around in the WWE these days, unless Dustin is still active.
Wow! I grew up watching the WWE when it was still the WWF and the stars were all true legends: Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, Kurt Angle, Benoit, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Brock Lesnar, and the two best divas ever in Trish Stratus and Lita. Well...The Rock is back (at least for awhile), and it sounds like HHH and Undertaker are on their way back from injury very soon as well. Consider my interest in the WWE officially renewed.
I haven't seen it yet. I just expected more from him after I saw The Rundown. I thought that was a pretty great action movie.
I grew up when the WWF was Hogan, Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy, The Iron Shiek, Big John Studd, Superfly Snooka, The Macho Man...you know, the era when matches actually finished without disqualifications or outside interference. I know the "Stone Cold" era is considered the "golden age", but I feel like it was only appealing to the LCD by that point. Typing this, I feel like the old codger yearning for the days of Russell v. Wilt.
I go back a bit further. British Bulldogs, Sweet Brown Sugar, Superfly Snooka, Andre the Giant, Jesse the Body, etc. I stopped watching right around when "Hulkamania" was starting to explode, and turned my attention to the NFL, MLB, and NBA. Not that I dislike wrestling at all, or judge anybody who watches it. It obviously still has a huge audience.
You often say when we play LA its 5 on 8. If you truly believe that, which you often bring up. Then yes, I'd say thats just as phony as the WWE.
