I was flipping channels from baseball to monday nigh football and the testoterone in my finger caused me to stop on pro wrestling. now a little background for those who don't know: John 3:16 says for God so loved the world...." Austin 3:16 says "I just whipped your ass". well i just saw a sign in the crowd that said: Fuente 3:16. I guess that stands for "I just smoked a reserva 'd chateau"

Actually, I believe that's in reference to the illegal use of words invented by Fuente. Like "Masterpiece", or dare I say "Short Story"...

Perhaps we shouldn't use the word "Fuente" any more. We should simply use "the F word"....

Was Stone Cold Steve Austin bashing the dweeb in the head that was holding the F....3:16 sign? I used to love "Professional Wrestling" when they had great draws like Roddy Piper and Mr Wonderful Paul Orndorff, and the Hulk bashing each other around! Long live Jesse "The Body" Ventura! Charlie

Yes the sign actually was in the crowd, and I agree I used to watch wrestling back when when it was good (1980's)

Granted, wrestling, as of this particular date, has gotten boring and uninventive (ie no new ideas in the past 6 months) but you guys sound like a bunch of grumpy old men who had it better "in their day". I was a fan back then too, and it SUCKED! Today's wrestling (1994 - now) is a HUGE improvement over the days of tired gimmicks.

To quote Rick "The Nature Boy" Flair, "if you're gonna be the man, you gotta beat the man!" Yes, it used to be fun! Today Wrestling is just obscene! Charlie

Heges, are you serious? I have never been a true "fan" of raslin, but I've seen my share. Like one time at the Boston Garden when Andre the Giant almost body slammed Big John Stud for $100K. Or the time Haystack Calhoun fought the midget wrestlers who eventually tore the large metal horseshoe off his neck chain and beat him with it until he bled from his forehead. Today you simply have buff studs who want to be actors. Yes they are athletic, but better marketing doesn't make better showmanship. As George the Animal Steel (with the green tongue) would say: " argh blpth argh !!!"

Oooh fa. You obviously haven't watched in the past 4 years. The actual wrestling today is MUCH better than what was before. As great as Ricky Steamboat and Jimmy "The Superfly" Snuka were, they would NEVER be able to pull off a Senton Bomb like the Hardy Boyz. There, I sound like a HUGE nerd/loser, but I proved my point :)

Sorry guys, but nobody, nobody could take a microphone and make the kind of challenges, threats, speeches, etc that Rowdy Roddy Piper could make. He was the ultimate showman, with his kilts and leather jacket! A real sports entertainer and actor! Charlie
