Pro-wrestling discussion thread

It has begun, HHH is the COO of the WWE.

This thread is for discussing pro-wrestling in general, during, before, or after the shows/ppvs are on (or just general out of the ring news).

Give me the attitude era back and blood.

Give me the attitude era back and blood.

I hate this business right now, give it back to the fans, the real ones, not the IWC snarks. Maybe with triple H actually being a wrestler he might treat things better. It's a new era with the King of Kings.

The Attitude Era is probably the most overrated era in pro-wrestling history. It was great and my favorite era, but people need to stop living in the past.

There are talented starts in the WWE now, sometimes they don't always push their best talents or release them, but look at Danielson right now.

But most of the people that want the era back are the same people that think John Cena can't wrestle or that Randy Orton is a good wrestler.

I know what you are talking about, I'm saying bring the type of stuff back from the attitude era, not the superstars, cept some. I would love to see some actual Extreme Rules matches and such.  
 
I'm still waiting for WWE to push Kingston and Morrison and all the others to the WWE Champions, which they almost fufilled, then they had Miz take it over once again.

Apparently Joey Styles is going back to commentary on Thursday.

I've heard that Taker is coming back during SummerSlam...

I wonder if he'll go back to Biker Taker, lol.

He should, with the short hair. It wouldn't be the same if he came back with short hair as Deadman Taker.

Yeah, he can't do that.

Him retiring as Biker would be strange though.

Yeah.... A wig lol?

Quite frankly I think WWE does have a great cast, they just aren't or weren't pushing enough people which could've hurt them in the long run. Right now guys like Miz and Morrison are top guys, Miz got pushed more than Morrison, but Morrison and Miz showed they have good in ring chemistry with each other. Daniel Bryan is the best in ring wrestler the wwe has to offer, Cena has his matches, is great on the mic, Orton is very one dimensional on the mic, but is a decent wrestler and can get quite the pop. But guys that could be top players or have gotten better haven't been played as much. Chris Masters has shown great improvement, Drew Mcyntire is awesome in the ring, he just isn't aired. Sheamus and Barret are both great up and coming guys, hell even Alex Riley has grown on me. WWE has a great roster, it's the people growing up don't like change, can't live that people compare the Rock to Cena and such.
My problem with them is how they became to distanced with the term wrestling. They forced upon us the characters of Super Cena and Super Orton and don't have enough credible guys built up to give decent shows anymore. I don't mind Cena as champ, but him becoming champ for 2-3 times in a year for years now has gotten ridiculous. Orton being champ just 2 days after Christian won, because Vince said he wasn't "marketable" enough.  You don't need to be champ to be top guy, Impact wrestling shows that constantly. I'm frankly sick of seeing Christian and Orton face each other again They've had 4 titles matches with each other and will do more since Christian is champion, count on it.
 
They don't have enough credible guys, they have talent, they just don't use it properly. Their balance is way off, and they give us the same old sh*t month after month after month.have  Edge and Del Rio faced each other or encountered each other like 15 times in just a few weeks, that match at mania lost all its hype and Del Rio fizzled, now he is MITB winner after not being relevant since moving to Raw. Super characters are fine, but you don't need to give them the built to be a top guy in the company. They need to change things up for once, maybe with Trip as chairman, he will shake things up since he was a wrestler once, he knows what it takes to properly utilize said talent.

I agree with most of what you said, GS.

Also, Alberto has 50 title opportunities, lol.

Some people call him the Mexican JBL, haha.

When Cena is being serious with his promos and not putting in corny/lame jokes, he is great on the mic.

What was up with that "Jimmy" crap?? Yeah, push Kingston and Morrison, someone please beat the hell out of Cena (over and over again). Bring back the blood and excitement. 

I am a little surprised that they didn't push R-Truth for title contention, but there will be probably be a feud with him and JoMo soon.

I thin ADL will finally fulfill his destiny and win the WWE championship after the Miz-Mysterio match next week.

I'm loving the lack of love for Del Rio (Dos Caras Jr.) here. Hehehe! He was lame in Lucha Libre. He sucked in MMA. He doesn't cut it in WWE.

The exchange between HHH and Mr. McMahon on Raw was one of the better skits in recent memory.

Cena is a pro on the mic, he gets that emotional attachment out to get you excited. Orton sucks on the mic, but I do feel his ring work is a bit better than Cena's. People only want to see him viper out and rko someone that's it. JBL is waaay better IMO lol, well i remember back in the APA days when he was  a badass.

I think Cena is a better wrestler than Orton.

It was funny when Trips called Vince, 'pop.'

Here is my take on Del Rio. Only reason I tolerated him was he had decent spots, not many people his size can do a top rope enzugiri like he can and he was good on the mic when he first came. Now every promo is this *coughs*.
   Rodrigo announcer guy *long winded entrance in spanish, i'm too lazy to type it all out in Spanish...ALBERTOOO DELLL RIIIIIOOOOOOOO...

*comes out in a fancy car, cocks up on the ramp, gold sparkles, awkward hand waves, gets in the ring*
 
"MY NAME...MY NAME IS ALBERTO DEL RIOOOOOOOO *fist pump of enthusiasm*. But you...you already know that, *wink*. Blah blah blah WWE championship, blah blah blah money in the bank... blah blah it is my DESTINY" Proceeded by awkward hand waves and a half cocked smile. 
 
That is del rio on a weekly basis

I miss Chris Jericho, the business needs him back but he's on his Fozzy tour right now.

By the way, to the Goldberg fans:

Y2J is better than him in pro-wrestling and real life.

Agreed, just wonder when he'll be back.

@god_spawn:

Remember when we were talking about HHH being in charge of the WWE a week ago, lol.

I think CM Punk will come back. They'll do a kayfabe with HHH.

What I really, really don't want is for Danielson to be the first guy to cash in and lose.

Stone Cold hasn't said anything about Vince not being chairman anymore...

He usually updates his Twitter after every Raw segment when something good or shocking happens.

at least give Rey Mysterio or The Miz first dibs at CM Punk when he comes back... Do Not throw John Cena right back at CM Punk for the WWE Title

I wouldn't really care if he came back honestly.

Is this about Pro Wrestling or about the WWE male soap opera, jeez, is to bad i am the only person in this forum that knows how awful the WWE was during the Attitude Era.  
Smackdown Six Era was by far better
