I'm with you katz, I have been a fan since I was 5 years old sitting on my grandma's knee watching Stu Hart and the rest of the Hart boys in Stampede Wrestling. Dont watch ECW now tho, was a huge fan of the original ECW and find this new one way to WWE..and havent seen Smackdown in quite awhile but Raw and TNA are always on the PVR!

Hi Derree! (nice avatar)

I was beginning to think I was alone on this one!

lol

was a huge fan of the original ECW and find this new one way to WWE

what do you expect - Vince (I mean, Mr. McMahon) owns everything! (except hair)

But ya gotta watch smackdown -

You can't pass up:

Undertaker
Kane
Rey Mysterio
Hardy Boyz
Finlay/Hornswoggle
Chris Benoit

AND...
Kristal
Michelle McCool
Jillian Hall
more, more!!! lol

P.S. - Don't you just love Vince's "Powerwalk"?!?

I have always loved Vince's strut...the Mrs hates wrestling but has come into the room a couple of times when I was watching it and saw him..she asked if he crapped his pants

As much as the 'divas' you mentioned are great eye candy I miss women who can wrestle ie Trish, Medusa Micilli etc...

LOL

Well, if you want to go that route, I think you could say the same for the guys as well; it is all nothing but a big soap opera now. I do miss the days of Bob Bachlund, Ivan Putski, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Hulk, etc.; it was more about the wrestling in those days & less "fluff" like today.

I predict that Khali will be the new "champ" at "Judgement Day", & if not, now that's just wrong!

I'm with you on that point Katzdvd. Back when I was a teenager in the 80's, my brother and I used to go watch WWF wrestling when it came to town and it was all about the wrestlers and their personas....like the Hulk, Andre, Big Bossman, The Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs and my personal favorite back then...Randy "Macho Man" Savage and his lady Elizabeth. Maybe not a normal interest for a female, but my dad got us hooked when we were little kids..lol.

Nowadays there is so much "unnecessary" stuff made up in the storylines that I have seriously considered not letting my son watch as much. Sad, cause he loves wrestling as much as I did back then. Knows all of their names and signature moves....would love if McMahon cleaned it up a little and went back to the way it used to be but....money talks I guess.

Wow, Texas Rose, I thought I was one of the only parents that objected to all that stuff - guess I am not alone.

My son developed an interest in it around age 9, but after we saw how much "bad" stuff was in it & the direction Vince had decided to take things, we didn't let him start watching until age 14 or so... not that I am sure that the content is suitable for a 14 yr. old either, but what is a parent to do, except "mute" the really bad stuff!

Course, there again, there is the "eye candy" aspect;

At least Shawn Michaels has turned "Christian?" now, & Sting on TNA, although I read his book, & I didn't really "get it?" I guess there may be other "good guys", but they are pretty good at hiding it! lol

**Derree** · 9 May 2007, 11:26 PM

Yeah the storylines have changed since the 80's but so has tv movies music etc..hate to say it but the times they are a changin'...cartoon storylines just won't cut it anymore..the audience is way to smart for that

**rsmober** · 10 May 2007, 11:35 AM

@Derree
i agreed with you everything changes has anyone seen 'Family Guy" i luv that show but i dont think its for the lil ones to see...
i also think the reason why mcmahon change the storys around was because thers no comp....hey almost has a monopoly time of buss'ness...

**Derree** · 11 May 2007, 01:48 AM

Do you guys watch any of the indys? I love ROH I think the style and storylines are more wrestling then sports entertainment and quite enjoyable.. plus having The Fight Network lets me see some great Japanese wrestling like Pro Wrestling NOAH and FMW..

**katzdvd** · 11 May 2007, 05:32 AM

Do you guys watch any of the indys?

Nope, not here; I barely have time to watch WWE/ECW/TNA!

**Derree** · 11 May 2007, 06:50 AM

lol I know what you mean katz..but I don't watch ecw at all..and raw and tna I use the pvr for since the Mrs hates wrestling..that way I can watch bits and pieces now and then..but if you ever have a chance check out Ring Of Honor its the best thing going today!

**katzdvd** · 16 May 2007, 11:22 PM

How 'bout that Khali? New champ at Judgement Day? I hope so...Cena needs to take a good, long vacation, lol

The rest of the matches - kind of lame?

WWE Champion John Cena vs. The Great Khali
World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Batista
ECW World Champion Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon & Umaga vs. Bobby Lashley (3-on-1 Handicap Rematch)
2-out-of-3 Falls Match - United States Champion Chris Benoit vs. MVP
Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk
Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton
Carlito vs. Ric Flair

Not exciting enough for a $40 ppv, IMO...Maybe some funny stuff will happen with Vince/Shane/Umaga/Lashley

And what about Mark Henry?!?! Is that guy trying to shatter both knees again?!?! Guess he didn't learn his lesson the first couple of times...

Undertaker out due to injury - too bad...longest/coolest entrance in the WWE...

Undertaker wrestled Sunday's match with a torn left bicep, and was in tremendous pain after his match on Sunday against Batista. He will likely require surgery, which would require six to eight months recovery time.

**Derree** · 17 May 2007, 06:25 AM

Ya know alot of people have a problem with Khali but I am ok with him... Sure he is no Benoit or Flair but the problem with big guys is they always get compared to one of two guys:Andre The Giant, or The Big Show..both of those guys are one in a generation type of guy and I don't think its fair to compare anyone to them...I think if they are trying to build Cena up as a modern day Hulk Hogan (the 80's version) I think they have to keep feeding him monsters such as Umaga and Khali...

**katzdvd** · 17 May 2007, 07:09 AM

Cena isn't worthy to tie Hulk Hogan's wrestling boot laces, lol.

Now the Ultimate Warrior, he was cool for his day...

Problem is with guys like Khali, is that they "break" too easily, lol

Remember Giant Gonzales? Just too "out of proportion" maybe, for the body to withstand that type of "wear & tear".
