Title: Anyone here a wrestling fan or used to be? (WWE, TNA, etc.)
Post by: The Krazy One on July 19, 2012, 05:15:26 am
I was wondering if anyone here is a fan or was a fan back then. I really don't have a lot of people to talk to about it with so maybe this will be interesting.

Not ashamed to say when I was 13-16 I watched the hell out of WCW.  I never once watched WWF during that time.

I watched WWF/WWE while in elementary school, but pretty much stopped once I got to middle school. I'm probably biased, but I honestly think I watched it during the greatest era.


D Generation X
The Rock
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Triple H
Shawn Michaels
Masked Kane
Undertaker
Big Show
Hardy Boys
Edge
Kurt Angle

Just to name A FEW

I watched for about a year and a half when I was 13 or so.

I watched it all the time when I was younger. Started to ween out around when WWE bought WCW & ECW. Got back into it a bit about the time of WM 20, and stayed into it for a good year or two... weened off of it again with occasional watch here and there...

Until I noticed via Twitter CM Punk won the WWE title last year. Now I watch it when I can. My bros like to rent the PPVs so I join them & watch those when they do.

Always been a CM Punk fan, even when he was in the indies. ****, I remember the Pepsi Plunge. So it's cool to see him on top and stuff now.

I started watching sometime in 2000 or so. It was still the Attitude Era. It was the Smackdown where Stone Cold was catching all of DX in traps he had set up. I only really watched WWE (WWF at the time) taking quick glances at WCW (Thunder recap show) and seeing little of ECW which I thought was awesome when Tajiri and The Dudley Boyz came to the WWF.

I still watch now as a fan but sometimes it's just by habit you know. There are some good matches every now and then.

Also, I just uploaded my 100th video:

Anyone that currently watches have any favorites?

Mine are:
John Cena (Though I can see why people don't like him)
Kane
Rey Mysterio (Finally returned)
Dolph Ziggler
Daniel Bryan (YES! YES! YES!)
CM Punk
Chris Jericho
Zack Ryder
Wade Barrett (awesome on the mic)
The Miz

The "1000th" episode of RAW is this monday an hour earlier (8e/7c) so you may see some of your old favorites.

I might check out that 1000th episode for nostalgia. Hopefully some of my favorites return :D


Title: Re: Anyone here a wrestling fan or used to be? (WWE, TNA, etc.)
Post by: Gift on July 21, 2012, 01:18:44 pm
Mine would be...

CM Punk
The Rock
Daniel Bryan
Y2J
Miz (No faux hawk? Although his new look is so evil looking)
Taker
HHH
Orton

And yeah, I guess Cena. I mean, he's come far in the past few years. He has his moments.

Post by: The Krazy One on July 23, 2012, 05:40:17 pm
Anyone excited about the 1000th episode tonight? I mainly want to see what happens in the WWE Title match between Cena and Punk.

Post by: Ps358 on July 23, 2012, 06:18:46 pm

Maybe ALL of DX will be there. :)

That ending made my world round. One, for the Royal Rumble match, two for the fact I get to root for the villain again. :D

Post by: The Krazy One on July 31, 2012, 02:50:23 pm
He pretty much turned but was trying to mask it. Except a couple of matches and the bunches of recaps, I liked last night's RAW. Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan was definitely match of the night.

Even last night the crowd seemed conflicted on Punk, if anything he's a tweener atm. Which seems appropriate going into Summerslam against Cena (Face) & Show (Heel).

He also works it well, because on one hand a lot of people want to boo him for what he did to The Rock but at the same time he's making a lot of sense and saying what we're all thinking *looks at Jerry*.

Like Punk justifying his actions by saying he should be in the spotlight. Which seems like a typical heel thing, until you put it in this context. Punk IS the WWE Champion and Cena maineventing nearly every PPV for awhile now.

Which tells me they've been playing this angle well. Given Rock came out and kinda stole some of the light from Punk after Bryan's wedding, then later Rock going in for the save. Not to mention him getting interrupted by Show... then Cena... and then getting practically drug into their little feud "Winner of the match gets a shot at CM Punk" while Punk is like "Great, thanks guys."

Plus his backstage promo with Cena was a straight up burn. "Just don't be upset I did to Rock in one night that you couldn't do in a whole year." Ouch.

Punk on commentary is win.

His announcement of the winner of the match was even better. Then walks right past AJ like "I don't give a ****."

But there was a lot of wrestling last night... which seemed odd. Not complaining though. However, did they have to show that Brock/HHH reel like 9 times? =\

Used to (and still do, really) watch the **** out of WWF from 97-03. i remember my brothers and I sitting in the basement crowding around the TV watching SCSA and company do their ****... I really dig 88-92 WCW and WWF, too

I got into the recent stuff for a few months when CM Punk won the belt (like Gift) and when Bryan Danielson made some ground because he was so damn good in ROH.

It was pretty good last night. The only constant replays this week involved Del Rio and Sheamus.

I saw this video posted on the pro wrestling board on GameFAQs that you might want to see. Rey Mysterio breaking into a convenience store with ostriches. I'm serious!  :o

I could've sworn I posted in this thread...

Regardless, I used to watch from '98-'03, and I still watch '88-'92 NWA/WWF occasionally.

Checked out WWE for a bit a year or so ago when CM Punk and Bryan Danielson had their runs. RoH was amazing like 7 years ago.

I still watch it every week (mostly RAW though). Been a fan since the Attitude era. Started off with WCW, but then switched to WWF cause of DX, Mike Tyson, Stone Cold VS. Vince etc.

Post by: Gift on August 09, 2012, 02:21:59 pm
I mostly only watch RAW also lol. Smackdown just has bad timing. xD

This weeks RAW was pretty good. Jericho touting on the announcement table was hilarious when he turned the phone on himself after the pin like :O!

Divas finally got some air time = shock. Orton seems to be in line for a push given his match, which is cool. Totally voted for Rey on Twitter because I felt it'd be more entertaining to see him fight Punk, and it was.

Bryan vs Cena was pretty good too. Loved the finish. I usually don't say this about the FU/AA, but that was actually pretty cool.

The ending was also good. I like how Punk went for a encore and Show countered like "*SAWK*!"

Post by: The Krazy One on August 31, 2012, 10:13:44 am
Do you like Metal Gear? Do you like wrestling? Do you like Daniel Bryan? Will I stop asking these questions? Check out the video and let me know what you think.  :P
