does anyone watch this stuff?

nothing on last night besides Family Guy re-runs so i decided to give it a shot...

Couple of Notes

-Paring a midget dressed as a leprechaun and a 6'5" 400 pound former olympic weightlifter is pure genious

-Ladies are nice to look at, but whatever happend to them just being a "manager" and not wrestling

-Sgt. Slaughter is still alive?

-The whole DX thing from a few years ago is apparently making a comeback.....must have gotten bad for them to bring this back again

Just my thoughts....

Watching WWE is a sure sign of a low I.Q.

3^

I still get a kick out of the people that think it's real....The crowd look like a giant group of people that couldnt get NASCAR tickets, so they decided this was the next best thing

No disrespect NASCAR fans 🙂

sometimes dumbing yourself down is a good break and good for the soul

when that isn't enough a good table ladder chairs match will do the trick.

hacksaw jim dugan was there last night

I grew up in AWA Territory back in the days of

Gagne, Zybyscko(sp), Bockwickel, Hennig (The Axe), McDaniel et al

As a kid got to hang out at a local italin Dive where many of them ate after shows regularly. Great bunch of people.

Then later on was here in the heart of the Deep South promotion and got to meet Dr Death Steve Williams, Ted Dibiase(before the Million $ Man gimmick), Rick Rude, and a few others

While the matches are predetermined and wrasslin is Sports Entertainment not true sport, There are still many A-class athletes to be able to attempt and perform some of the current moves.

On a side note, I happened to come across an old AWA broadcast from 1989 and Col DeBeers was disqualified for coming off the top rope onto his opponent that was laid out on the mat. Amazing how the rules have evolved over the generations

I would be curious to know if Russian Crusher still watches the WWE.........it is not any fun anymore, I miss the old days of Rowdy Roddy Piper and Macho Man Randy Savage. that was fun.

And who can ever forget the great Jesse Ventura and of course Hulkster.

Don't watch this stuff, today. Had my last match 30 years ago. Those who watch wrestling don't care if the outcome is predetermined. You watch television, go to movies, etc. and don't enjoy it less because you know what you are watching isn't actually happening. "Fake" is a term that isn't right. What wrestlers do in the ring isn't fake. It still hurts when you land on the floor or catch a shot from your opponent. Ascept wrestling for what it really is: predertermined athleticism. Millions of people around the world do. If you don't like it change the channel. Which is why I don't watch today's product. I don't care for it.
