WWE Blows ass lately

Mar 07, 2007 05:06

I remember being a HUGE professional wrestling fan in high school, even so much that I will admit I did some backyard wrestling with some friends back in those days. I will say that I was a WCW fan, but WWF wasn't bad. That all changed in and around 2001 when wrestling started to take itself even less seriously. If you are going to treat a bunch ( Read more... )

Yeah, I remember that whole Mae Young thing. It was... Odd. Yes, odd.

Give the boss a break. It used to be funny watching him carrying on. I think he was sending himself up. I think he knew how dodgy an actor he was and it was amusing for a while. What wasn't was the commentary crew - one of them always had to be the arse kisser to the bad guys so that the two of them could argue.

Its been a long long time since I've sat down and watched it, but probably in my books the most entertaining character was for me Mark Foley. When he used to be on the stage with the Rock it was amusing most of the time. The "straight" man with the most batshit insane wrestler they had who was probably really batshit insane in real life (when you REALLY lose your ear in a wrestling match, and refuse to reattach it so you can attend a pay-per-view, you get respect from me, staged show or not).

Foley is awesome, some of his best stuff is his matches with Terry Funk, shame their both more-or-less retired.

I got sick of Wrestling way before hand. Back in 1999 I used to watch because all of my friends did and it was just at the time that Wrestling was coming into vogue. I enjoyed the stories, didn't care much for the fights, and everything was fine.

But I wasn't happy with the everyone is dark and bad ass stuff since it didn't feel real to me. I REALLY didn't like the sterotypical black characters. They were minstrels to me.

But you know what stopped me from watching wrestling all together?

When they started putting old ladies through tables.

Mae Young, God bless her, is awesome to still be doing this at her age but I can't stand seeing that kind of mess on television. I'm all for "edgy" but not for crossing it.

Sorry, that reply was for Steve, not you. I've forgotten how to use LiveJournal.
