I know a few fans are on this forum (GRW, myself). Discuss anything about WWE here.

I don't know whether you have heard but The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin are talking about coming back to have one last match. :D

you should see their latest punchline... WWE dropped it back to a PG rating, so no more blood or excessive violence

But wrestling is ALL about excessive violence !

"WWE, the recognized leader in global sports-entertainment"

They call that a sport ? THEY CALL THAT A SPORT ?

WWE was cool back then (and so was WWF).

Nowadays it's just made of outcasts trash-talking each other.

Naryar · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2011, 05:44:10 AM »

Hell, it's acting, not fighting ! They just pump up muscles for SHOW and I doubt they learn any realistic techniques.

Actually, I learned my kicks from WWF. I had another source for punches, though. :P

Wrestling is a sport, been in the Olympics since 708 BC.
Though the new WWE can't even uphold it's own name- while it was a worked stunt, when Joey Styles quit he mentioned not being able to mention "pro wrestling" (as to sports-entertainment) or "wrestler" (as to superstar) ... the way it's been lately, it's pretty much the honest truth.

What idiot brand won't even refer to it's very foundations by the right names?

JoeBlo · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2011, 06:50:49 AM »

I liked WCW / ECW back in its day.. (the real ECW not the horrible rape job WWE did with that name)

And I watched a bit of TNA here and there..(mainly 09 stuff) I think its a better all round promotion.. the matches are usually more entertainment value..

oh and Nary, Sports-Entertainment, while having sports in the name isnt a sport.. its an entertainment product based/ created off an original sport..

NFX · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2011, 09:39:16 AM »

I don't watch it that often, but I do think TNA are actually a better all-around franchise than WWE. However, if you're after entertainment, I've found a small Philadelphia-based indy promotion called CHIKARA Pro. There's no championships that I know of, but there's a couple of big tournaments ever year, such as the King Of Trios Cup, which is a six-man-tag tournament.

I find it funny because it's so random. They have Amasis, a pharoah that suddenly starts dancing for no reason, Player Uno, a retro gamer that can be paused mid-match using the NES controller on his attire, and Chuck Taylor, a heel character that screams like a girl and has an invisible slow motion hand grenade. I'll find some clips on YouTube if you want to see what I'm talking about.

LOLWUT? It sounds like its just taking the piss :P

Oh, I know what you're talking about! I've been following CHIKARA since '06 (the Icarus/Jigsaw Hair vs. Mask Match that Commissioner Bob Saget set up was the show that introduced me to the promotion).

Also, Gazea, hate to be the guy that bursts the bubble, but Austin and The Rock both have had their last match. Austin's too beat up to properly wrestle anymore, and The Rock's making too much money from the movies to even think about wrestling.

They kind of are taking the piss. Here is an example, in spoiler tags because I'm not wanting to clutter up the page with YouTube videos.

Second part:

GRW, there is a good chance that Hunter's coming back at the Rumble. With that comes the strong chance that there will be a HHH/Sheamus match at WrestleMania.

Naryar, I really do understand where you're coming from. It is all a show; I usually compare wrestling to a male soap opera (at least the ones on National TV). As for realistic techniques... it's a crap shoot. Some of the moves are realistic, but some are so unrealistic that it bends your thought processes.

Ah, yes, pankration. It's very much dry humping to me, but much different from (and more respectable than) "pro" wrestling.

Don't you have some badass ancient martial art in your country ?

No bubble was burst. :P

I heard that they were in talks, though. It would be great if they did but, if not, then it doesn't matter.

@NFX - LOLWUT. That first video is so... random...?
