OMG this KILLS me! Why in the world do they choose the eleven year old title history to keep alive and "retire" the lineage of a title that goes back to 1971?! Ugh.

Yeah there's no way Yoko and Vader would have had much of a high quality match. And the length of the Iron Man Match meant the undercard had to be very short. So to improve the match and squeeze in Owen and the Bulldog, and to a lesser extent the fresh rookie Ahmed and the returning legend Jake...

Well when I meant gimmicks I didn't mean characters totally changing. (Extreme example but to say Godfather stopped using Papa Shango's voodoo isnt what I meant) And in this sense, entrances being shortened and/or changed can apply in some instances thought not all. Anyways, some others I...

Hey all... Los Matadores got me thinking of something I've always noticed and wanted to see if anyone else has ... I like Los Matadores for what they are but damn I think they're entrance is wayy too long. I immediately said "give it a month and they'll walk right out without the slow...

Exactly this. Hogan seemed to do it beyond just a face having to occassionally pull a dirty trick. He also wasn't like Flair who was supposed to be a notoriously dirty player even as a face. Hogan was a noble never do wrong hero, who apparently had his fingers crossed behind his back. Going...

My son is 4 and I'm still not ready for him to really get into it because I don't think he can separate himself from the violence of it yet. He knows of it because of how often he sees it from myself, my wife, and my friends but so far its just something on the TV quite often. He associates with...

Just realized there's a "neither" choice... Interesting because I'm sure guys who sold well but realistically (Arn Anderson, Ricky Steamboat, Bret Hart) could sure as hell argue that neither Rock nor Ziggler sell well at all. Depends what you consider selling.

I'm going with Ziggler because he reminds me so much of Curt Hennig and in a good way. The Rock, while fun to watch, just seemed like a wet fish out of water, and his facial expressions were too goofy for me.

I think Shawn was still in "part-time" mode. He "needed" to have one last big WMania win and one win to send him off into the sunset just in case he didn't have another WMania match. Luckily for us he had many more and excellent ones but I don't think we could have predicted that in 2003...

I think it depends on the wrestler and where their career is at and things like that but generally speaking having a good match is more important. You can get over in losing, then again, you can also win every match and not get over if you don't entertain the people. Bret Hart once said some of...

Besides just sharing some funny kid stories, I think I was generally implying that it would suck if the WWE was marketed solely to kids, like if it was a complete kids show like, I dunno, something on the Disney Channel... though it isn't so I guess my point was redundant.

Wow. Ok guys I gotta be honest, I woke up this morning and this thread was the first thing that came to my mind. I'm reading through and, I kinda feel like shit. Not gonna lie. Then I realize everything I've said just comes off like I'm better than the kids. So let me backtrack cuz I definitely...

Ok, apparently I'm completely wrong in how I'm seeing this kids as fans thing. I'll say this though... I've never been against kids being fans, I was a fan as a kid and I'm happy that so many kids enjoy it as well. The WWE has every right to market to kids and I understand why they do it...

I don't think its directly marketed only at children but the past few years have been more towards children than since the early 90s. FYI, the PG rating doesn't bother me one bit. I dont care if the WWE ever goes back to TV 14 or whatever it might be. And yeah as of late there's been more things...

Bret never had a problem with Hogan because Bret knew who was the guy who brought in the fans and thus brought in the money. Bret has admitted that. Bret has a problem with Hogan's lame way of doing business. When it came time to do Bret vs Hogan in 1993, Hogan bitched out and left. Seems like...
