Official Pro-Wrestling Thread (WWE, TNA, ROH etc.)

Your allegations astound me!

I'll have you know I've watched plenty of WCW throughout 1994 (when it used to be on Channel 9's Sunday mornings )till about it ended in 2001. I always enjoyed the athletic aspect of WCW even though most of their storylines made no sense whatsoever. In fact during much of 1996-1998 WCW was the better show on television without doubt.

A few years back, when we were talking I NEVER said that I only cared for pyro, entertainment and 'superficial gloss'. I simply stated that production values certainly help enhance the product, and at that time TNA were much more far behind than they are now and WWE were much far ahead in terms of producing a good product both in ring wise and production wise (Evolution, Brock Lesnar, the Smackdown Six anyone?).

In terms of wrestling I always appreciated what TNA brought to the table. Now though, their product (I think) is a little superior to WWE's at the moment.

Haha yes WCW on Sunday mornings I remember watching that, mind you I had no idea what was going on. I'd just cheer for Sting and Luger

I just feel that mediocre wrestling + production value isn't as good as entertaining wrestling with very little production value. Of course if you can mix the two evenly then you have a great product, and I think WWE did that well from 97-2002 (bar a few hiccups eg. Invasion) and WCW did that very well up until 98 or so.

The Smackdown six only lasted a few months in 2002, then in 2003 (post Mania) we started seeing Smackdown fall into depths of crap, and Raw being the Evolution show. It was at this time I really got into ROH and TNA. Yeah they didn't have pyro and awesome storylines, JR yelling "Bah Gawd" and cool video clips to recap feuds, but they did the fundamentals right. Entertain the crowd in the ring.

watched smackdown yesterday it was rubbish. the best thing about it was the breaks for the diva search...

Sorry mate, Jeff Hardy never was in the main event role to begin with so he won't be going back there, that's for sure. What this will do is bolster WWE's really poor tag team division.

well no, what i said there was over the top, but towards the end of his wwe career it seemed like he was being given a push, his ladder match against taker for the wwe championship saw him put in a great performance and gain a lot of recognition, had he not gone off the rails one feels he could have made the push to mainevent status with a decent amount of sucess given the chance.

Brock Lesnar, Summerslam 2002 against The Rock. Of course The Rock never minded putting people over.

Triple H won clean a fair bit as champ back in 2000. Back in 2003 he didn't win clean necessarily, but he did squash his face opponents rather than making them look good.

i believe kurt angle winning his first wwf as it was then championship vs the rock at no mercy may also have been a perfectly legit win.

Just caught the end of ECW and the crowd pop (or not) for the main event was ****ing hilarious, **** knows who was the face or heel both men (The Giant and Batista) got so much heat from the real ECW fans. Great stuff, the quicker this charade ends the better or the WWE need to realise if they want this third brand to continue than old ECW arena’s are out of the question.

the joke continues, disgrace really, but why the hell do they continue to mainevent with wwe superstars, i dont understand, total waste of time, pretty insulting to the true ecw fanbase as well imo.

 

[GotSpin]

Not necessarily, monster heels such as Big Van Vader did not ‘cheat’ to ‘win‘. Edge is one of those ***** heels, a WWE trademark, who only receives heat because of his cheap heel tactics, insulting cities, sport teams and the various other ******** heel tactics that modern day heels are enforced to employ. When was the last time a heel won a title in the WWE clean?

Heels have to do this nowadays because that's the only way they can get over.

Edge should back to tag teams, he can't wrestle in main event status.

 

[shaka]

it will hype up the Sabu v Big Show @ summerslam I guess,

 

[Buddhmaster]

You have no idea about wrestl-hing.

 

[shaka]

preferably to Sabu, then leading to RVD v Sabu, maybe

 

[GotSpin]

You have no idea about wrestl-hing.

I've done well

 

[sledger]

was got spin an ugly kid you think?

 

[Jono]

i believe kurt angle winning his first wwf as it was then championship vs the rock at no mercy may also have been a perfectly legit win.

Yeah, The Rock was never afraid of jobbing clean. What a legend.

 

[sledger]

never been one like him, and never will be one like him again, anyone got any idea when his next cameo appearance will be? the one last year when he beat up coach with eugene was pretty good.

 

[sledger]

sounds like summerslam was awful, but return of jeff hardy on raw was excellent, best moment of wwe i have seen in ages, hopefully TLC edge vs hardy at unforgiven, that would be something to see.

 

[Buddhmaster]

You really think they'd but Hardy in the Main Event. The guy botches more spots then the Great Khali (maybe not), and that's if he even shows up.

EDIT: That was a great debut

 

[GotSpin]

Man, Foley is just too much of a nice guy

 

[alternative]

Yeh just saw Raw now, and that was one of the better shows in a long while... i am lookin forward for Jeff Hardy's future matches..
