I used to be a huge Wresting geek when I was about 12-14 and on reflection I found the cheesy behind-the scenes where the best part about the WWF. Vince MacMan getting attacking in Hospital, The Big Boss Man stealing the Big Show's father coffin from the funeral, The APA protection agency attacking people after playing cards and of course Crash Holly defending the Hardcore Title. :lol:

Some things I can't believe what actual happened. The Undertaker during his Satanic Era having Vince's daughter held above the TV screen on a Cross about the sacrifice her live in front of thousands of Red necks. :o



yep i miss the Attitude era, sadly the WWE is now PG and not Teen, so it has toned down everything to be child friendly :(

The worst thing is now stopping the match any time anyone bleeds. It just completely fucks up the continuity of the match, and any suspension of disbelief is instantly ruined.

Also, meh to Hart coming back, it was just exactly what I thought would happen. Make up with HBK, begin a fued with Vinnie Mac... meh.

Don't rule out a turn from old HBK just yet, history has a habit of repeating itself, Wrestlemania is going to be interesting :yes:

HBK is gonna fight Taker again though, so i'm kinda doubting a heel turn just yet. I reckon Hart/McMahon street fight

The Hart Vs McMahon street fight is set in stone according to all the wrestling websites , I just hope Bret has got over that stroke properly, i'm very surprised he has been cleared to take bumps tbh :|

that is one tough bastard :yes:

as for HBK Vs Take 2 , there is now ay they can top last year's match surely :o

Wherever you got that form has messed up, they're all Smackdown wrestlers!


I thought that, but those wrestlers were advertised on tv for the same show, so I don't really care what they name the tour :lol:

For me, I find it fun to watch, but keeping up to date with it all is way more than I care to bother with, I watch WWE PPVs when I feel like it though

I stopped watching as soon as that fat asshole Takeshi started rubbing his arse in peoples faces. That just topped the gay-o-metre for me.


Which was conveniently around the time channel 4 stopped showing the main events live at 1am for free (swift move to sky box office). Long live Cactus Jack/Mike Foley/Mankind.

So basically you want the WWE to be FMW circa 1996 ish. Well it certainly beats the John Fucking Cena Show.

Somebody mentioned Mick Foley as a reason C4 backed out of their contract with the WWE as soon as they could. I'd say Mae Young getting her norks out didn't help.
