    It's quite sad, but I've stopped watching wrestling altogether. I never thought the day would come, but I haven't watch anything in quite some time.

    That's the only thing left for me, as a consumer, to do.

    I'm rooting for TNA to be competitve...but as I've said before...until they get a live show...I won't watch on a regular basis. I read the spoilers...and more times than not, there's nothing to watch for.

    As for Raw...it's just so bad and unentertaining that it's not worth my time...plus, Prison Break and Heroes are much better.

    I'm very close to that point. I don't watch Smackdown. I Tivo raw and watch it in about 30 minutes, ff'ing thru a lot of crap. ECW? I don't even consider that wrestling.

    This current ECW is only a developmental league for the WWE......or a place where they can send the cast-offs & second stringers who are under contract, so that they can actually get some use out of them...please, Matt Striker, Test, Snitsky???? What a bunch of bad ideas.....the spirit is gone. I wished that I had taped "ECW on TNN".........I could watch those a thousand times before sitting through a complete RAW show.

    I used to do that as well...but now, I don't even do that. I found myself pushing the fast forward button and never pressing "play". :(

    My cousin used to send me VHS tapes of ECW from the summer of '97...he would tape them on a local channel that carried the show. I have those around somewhere...I need to revisit those tapes.

    I don't even bother taping any of the WWE wrestling shows right now. Occasionally I'll tape TNA Impact if the spoiler sounds promising, but even that show has been turning into 15 minutes of wrestling and 45 minutes of promos/vignettes lately.

    I might give Smackdown a chance on the TiVO again, it has been consistently producing better wrestling matches than RAW for the past few months.

    Yea I haven't watched it in a long time. I did last week watch a little bit of RAW or whatever was on. WTF is up with the guy from those Road Rules shows on MTV? He totally sucked in the ring. It used to be so good.

    I rented the Bret Hart DVD off of Blockbuster online this week. I sat down to watch it last night and here are my thoughts.

    I like Bret Hart...he's a little bland...but he's a great wrestler.

    Those early title runs back in the 90's...very boring...there's a reason Vince took the strap off of him...he may have been a great wrestler, but he didn't have the total package (no pun).

    Honestly, after watching some off his work (both in matches and on the microphone), he really shined back in late '96 up until his departure in Nov. '97. He had a realism in his interviews that is sorely lacking today.

    While Vince & Shawn did screw him over in Montreal, in the end, he's taking himself too seriously. It's all a work. Drop the belt and move on. Although, it's probably the best thing he's ever done for his legacy...because without Montreal, he wouldn't be as popular today. The mystic behind the circumstances and legitimacy of the situation will help keep him relevant for years to come.

    Interesting stuff goin' on leading up to this year's Wrestlemania...

    Hogan won't work Wrestlemania now because he thinks he should be paid equal to the top earners just for one appearance. And no doubt he'd have to go over whoever he faced. Apparently he's still upset that the long-rumoured match with Stone Cold isn't going to happen. Good riddance i say, i can't stand Hogan and he'll just stink up the ring no matter who he's against.

    The Vince McMahon/Donald Trump thing just smells bad from the get-go. Although i just found out who the special guest referee is going to be which makes it more interesting. But nobody wants to see Umaga vs Lashley....do they?

    HBK vs Cena should be good. If they both go into Detroit playing the face, i'm guessing Cena will get booed out of the building. i'm just praying that Vince doesn't decide to turn HBK heel.


    EDIT- http://www.dailymotion.com/visited/search/wwe%2Bstone%2Bcold/video/xr0bk_bischoff-arrives

    How much of a 'holy shit' moment is this lol! I remember this, when i thought there could be no more shocks in wrestling and then this happens!
    So, to sum up my ramblings....i'm not really looking forward to WM this year! Unless by some miracle The Rock turns up, i don't imagine it'll be too great.
    What do you guys think?

    There are a few things that could help the current product.

    1. Use more managers as mouthpieces for wrestlers that can't talk on the microphone.

    2. Add more realism into the show...it's too comical and a lot of what the wrestlers do doesn't make sense (i.e. Edge calls someone out and then acts surprised when they come out to confront him).

    3. More stables (i.e. Four Horseman / The Cartel / Dangerous Alliance).

    4. A stable tag-team division (i.e. stop throwing guys together).

    5. There's nothing wrong with high spots. Triple H has injured his Quad twice by doing hardly anything. Let the boys put on a show.

    6. Don't push wrestlers down the crowd's throat...if we don't like a guy, bench him...if we do, give him a push (i.e. CM Punk, RVD).
