Haven't watched WWE in years but I might watch a torrent of it.

WWE is not a sport, it is entertainment, technically this should go in the TV house section to get laughed at

It's sports entertainment. And while elements of it are fake and cheesy, these guys are real athletes and take a lot of risks for just stepping in a ring.

yea, even with all the training in fake bunchs, rigged tables, and how to fall in the world, I know I'm not going to jump off a 20 foot ladder onto a man laying on a table.

squong · 02-23-2008, 09:52 AM

well the undertaker has to win, orton is going to cheat his way back, and the money in the bank match will be high flying and crazy

UnchainedAcolyte · 02-23-2008, 10:10 AM

Well, let's see...

Undertaker, of course. It'll probably look like he grasps victory out of the mouth of defeat, though. 16-0 at WM now?

MITB should be entertaining. I'm still a big Kennedy fan. Wish he hadn't gone out on probation for performance enhancing substances around the time he was rumored to be picked as Vince's "son". Would still like to see him have a huge push;

Triple threat match for the WWE title will be interesting. Cena won't win, since the fans are still polarized around him. Orton winning would help solidify his heel status. Triple H might win, proving an old lion can out wrestle two young ones. I wouldn't mind as much in a three-man match, but if he pulls the same stunts he did back around 2002-2004 or so when he kept winning the belt constantly, fans will grow to resent him. Not sure on this one.

Flair will be retired. Should've had the belt one more time. Woooooo!

lol I almost want to quote that for a sig. That is great Woo!

But seriously, things are about to get super serious.

Hail please the master of madness, the titan of taunts, and the finder of the danger zone. OOOOH YEAAAH

The Big Show/Floyd Mayweather deal has me SO fucking excited. I love Floyd and I think he's a natural fit for this since he's an entertainer as much as an athlete.

I think HHH comes out with the belt. There's more money in Cena chasing him for the belt has a lot more money and more buys.

I think Edge beats Undertaker. Taker had his run last year and I think he puts Edge over. Remember, it's streak vs streak. Both are undefeated in Wrestlemania. I can't see them wasting Edge's streak although the chance to have the Undertaker go out undefeated is huge.

I would totally buy it if the HD wasn't 70 bucks. 55 is kind of steep as well. There are still tickets left and as recently as last week I was considering going (though I doubt it will happen).

As for WWE as a whole. You can knock them all you want, but just remember that they're a huge money making machine. The amount of buys and gate money that Mania does will be fucking astounding. Trust me.

i havent watched wrestling in quite some time, but is it normal these days for a guy like half the size of the undertaker to beat him? that guy is a huge mfer, i remember edge being like 5'9"

See that right there is the problem with Pro Wrestling today. It peaked with My generation (which is right now the like the 18-28 range). The late 90s with the Monday night wars and the NWO (the original NWO of The Giant, The Outsiders, Hollywood Hogan, and the fake Sting has to go down as the greatest stable of all time). Maybe I'm just getting old. I know damn good and well if I was a 14 year old kid, I'd fucking love John Cena because that's who he's marketed towards. For the record, I met him at an autograph deal like 5 years ago at Bridgeport Harley Davidson and still have his autograph. He's a really cool dude and he's great with the fans which is something that can't be said about some guys (Shawn Michaels in particular who I hear is one of the biggest assholes on the planet most of the time).

They'll never recapture the magic they had of the Monday Night Wars unless someone steps up to challenge them legitimately and that just won't happen.

I vote right here right now for a 1990s Pro Wrestling Appreciation Thread where we can just bullshit about the good ol days when Wrestling really was the coolest thing on TV.

I would say stunt men/body builder than athlete. Athletes compete.

Man, I didn't think so many people gave a shit about this crap. I used to be totally into wrestling back in elementary school. I even went to a couple of WCW Monday Night things. I watch 30 seconds of it now though and realize what a fag I was.
