Saw it last night at the UFC

U can't replace stars like Stone Cold and The Rock and now even Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle and all the others that have went on.

Stone Cold and The Rock were once in a lifetime showmen that were wrestling. they lived it, breathed it, came up with most of their stuff themselves right? I remember Stone Cold saying he came up with the "What" thing by talking to Christian on a shitty cellphone and every time Christian would talk he'd say "WHAT?"

U have shitty TV writers who have no idea what to do with the talent.

Ur two biggest stars right now are basically John Cena and Randy Orton... now compare that to Austin and The Rock.

WWE also went south when Vince took the company public. As a privately owned business, he could do what he wanted cause he had nobody to answer to.

Now with shareholders/investers etc.. WWE went from a family business to a massive corporation.
So going PG is to keep kids interested *cause kids are the ones who buy the toys and T Shirts etc.. not too many 30 year old guys buy tons of merch, and they have to make sure they keep Fortune 500 sponsors.

Couple that with Chris Benoit and no competition and we are left with a terrible wrestling program pretty much every week.

The show is terrible compared to 96-01, but I have enjoyed WWE as of late. Can you honestly say who will win the MITB matches? I can't say who wins the RAW and SD ones 100% yet. That is good!

Of coarse Rock and Stone Cold were great, but sometimes I feel we were spoiled, and we have to compare everything to the golden era. I appreciate the good things we have today. Not many good things, but I appreciate it.


Also Slash, I agree that they do put on at least a decent PPV on most months. I am not letdown often from their PPV's.
