Got bored and I started youtubing old WWF/WWE matches and wow do I miss it... and when I try to watch it nowadays it just is not the same. I remember watching The Rock, D Generation X ( Road Dog, Billy Gun, Chyna, Shawn Michaels, X-Pac, Tori, and HHH), Mankind,Big Boss Man, Steve Austin, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, The Rock (do you smell what the rock is cooking?), Kane, Undertaker, Rikishi, Mark Henry(Sexual Chocolate) Val Venis and Golddust... I am sure I am missing some but man... do I miss those good times.... ^_^

I think Undertaker and HHH are still wresting Right? But I mean It is just not the same those are memories I will truly Treasure... Just made this blog post to see If anyone else was watching during this awesome era...

I hear you...
And yes Undertaker and HHH are still (kind of) active. There are some other comebacks these days, like Rock as Guest Host at the last Wresltmania and Stone Cold hosting a new "Tough Enough" season, but no comparison to the good ol' days
And when Taker vs. HHH is the Match of the Evening at Wrestlemania in 2011, something is going very wrong...
I'm still watching WWE, because I have hope in my heart for some changes in the future :D

Perhaps one of you could enlighten me - exactly what is it that you enjoy about it? Isn't it all choreographed/fixed beforehand?

Ohhh Boy :D
I'm not strong enough for this discussion the 12374th time :D
But I see it like this. You wouldn't sit in a theatre and say "well, this is bs, it's all fixed and fake, I don't enjoy this at all", No, you go in a theatre or whatnot to be entertained and have a good evening. Same thing with wrestling for me. And please do not underestimate the physical pain every wrestler has to go through, the storylines are fake, the matches/choreographies are fixed, but most of the moves are pretty hurtful, read a Mick Foley book and you know what I'm talking about :D

See it as a daily soap for men :D

Well... when I was younger Of course I did not believe it was fake...And now that I know it is fake I still enjoy remembering the old wrestling stars I loved... It just brings back good memories. The entertainment was awesome. It is entertainment.

Recently I've actually been watching some of this stuff again. I watched a little back about a decade ago and before that I used to watch when I was a kid. WWE is an industry that keeps changing. TBH I'll probably stop watching soon. I don't pay for any ppv events and they spent about 3 months doing nothing but Wrestlemania hype where the same two guys would face each other and at least half the time the match would end in a dissatisfying finish (e.g. someone else interferes with the match halfway through) and it feels like they never stop talking because the trash talk is as plentiful as it is terrible.

The whole Untertaker/HHH rivalry seemed stupid to me since although Untertaker has always been someone you could never count out even when I was a kid, it seems like they were hyping him to a whole other level. I think the next time I hear the words "the streak" I'll kick somebody. The Rock's return was a gigantic disappointment since one of the things that made him special was his use of the mic which was no damn good at all these past few months. John Cena was owning him on the mic and Cena's mic use wasn't even that good. Not to mention that we only saw the Rock in the ring once (other than Wrestlemania) and we never got to see HHH or Untertaker [Edit: not counting their little pissing contests that is. Not even a brief exchange of punches or anything. Although come to think of it I guess HHH did beat up on Sheamus a little...]. And Alberto Del Rio? Terrible heel, more annoying than anything. The Miz? Same deal pretty much. Michael Cole? Ugh. Just ugh. He and Jack Swagger can go back to the locker room and do whatever the hell it is they do together where nobody can see them.

On the bright side this new guy Sin Cara (google him as Mistico from his days in Mexican wrestling) shows real potential. They've been pushing him hard and they need to push him a bit harder still because this guy's the best hope for the WWE's future. Kind of annoying how the announcers keep talking about how the competition is tougher in the WWE though... at least have him face someone we care about if you're going to say that. Primo? Who? Never even heard of this guy, literally.
Even though this Proleague bullshit has been completely bogus, I really, really, really do not see how Khan can lose this. I swear I will kill myself if they do. - nesix before KHAN lost to eNature

I'm just about to finish his 2nd book, and they are really great, I think he wrote them around his last months in the WWE. His writing style is very funny and despite the most other wrestling books, he wrote his by himself. I strongly recommend his books for all wrestling fans.

Primo's been around for ages, just never been used and probably on his way out. Probably gave him the match as they can both hablo espanol and it'd be easier to call the spots.

Speaking of Sin Cara, I'm going to laugh so hard when he actually botches his ring entrance, he's nearly done it twice already

I think the biggest problem with the WWE these days is, that they don't have any other competitors to worry about, Okay, there's TNA, but ratingwise they're way behind.
And the strongest time in WWE was the Monday Night Wars-Period with WCW. They really had to pull off a hell of a show to get the viewers.
But nowadays they can comfortably lean back and let it slide :D

I used to watch a ton of it back in school, especially during the attitude era, and a little before that. But I just gradually stopped watching as the storylines started to involve vince and his family, that was just boring. And I also think we grew out of it, maybe school kids of that age still watch it?

The high points of interest back in school was when stone cold won the championship, and undertaker coming back out of a casket after lightning hitting it, and the hell in a cell with shawn michaels and undertaker(the one where kane is introduced).

The worst move ever was the rocks elbow, how was that even painful lol?

They're selling out now. They've decided to drop the wrestling and brand themselves as the WWE. They're going into debt and purchasing a huge amount of entertainment brands and companies. The aim is to start their own network soonish. They've come to the conclusion that wrestling doesn't sell anymore.
