My thoughts on the WWE

Now i know that there will be some mixed opinions on this, but i just want to get this rant of my chest. When i was tweleve years old, i never even knew about the WWF... i mean WWE, until i watched a match between the rock vs stone cold on Raw (is war). During the "Attitude Era", that was when i used to watch every WWE program every night. During the years, the "Attitude Era" had everything done right. Great preformers, good storylines and lots of exciting action. However, my real reason why i became a WWE fan was because of The Rock. But now that Dwayne would no longer wrestle in the ring, to me the WWE has been boring. You see in my opinion, the WWE was just doing fine until they went PG. I understand that this has been done for many reasons such as making this sport fun & entertainment for eveyone (and by everyone i mean little kids and their families), making more money and to promote this company worldwide. Before we go on about the "PG- format", i have learned a history about the WWE and i have found out that THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME THIS COMPANY WENT PG.

The WWE has been promoting this company to kids during the late 80's and the early 90's. That was during the rise of Hulkamania. But now because of this strict PG Setting, backstage politics, crappy storylines, boring superstars and making John Cena the mascot of the WWE, they are having problems such as unhappy employees and fans who think that the pg idea stinks.

I'm now watching TNA since most of the fun and exciting storylines are gone from WWE. If the WWE does well in promoting for the kids, then good for them. I guess that if the WWE gets more storylines like they used in the "Attitude Era", then maybe they will get more fans and exposure thought the globe.

Nothing to see here guys. Just stupid smarks trying to pretend they are industry smart when in reality they have no ******* clue about anything in the wrestling business.

Also, if you're saying PG has ruined WWE, then you have been a mark for most of your life. The Attitude Era had more bull**** going on than right now. Nostalgia isn't your bestfriend.

uhm, why are you so rude and unpleasent?

You "learned a history"?

Seriously, each era has had boring storylines, failed characters, unhappy employees, and mascots. Do I miss No DQ matches when you'd see a chairshot or something similar? Sure. But WWE is just stale overall, not just because of being PG

Aww come on, are we still crying it being PG? Get over it, Attitude era is gone. But if you want to know what I think, look at my profile banner.

He may be a dick, but he speaks the truth. WWE has had many things gone wrong in the past, so it's not like this is the first time it's ruined itself. 

Actually, I'm sure he means this: Attitude Era was far from perfect. Yea, most wrestlers were involved in storylines, but not only were they excessively childish, most didn't even make sense and rarely ever did we see any conclusion. The only reason people remember the attitude era so fondly is because of the successful Austin storyline, and the building up of DX and The Rock. Besides those things... the Attitude Era did pretty much nothing. If you want to talk about successful time, the years of WWE from 2002-2005 were really some of the best, since it had the most coherent storylines. The main weakness of the Attitude Era was the constant moving around of superstars, and that every single storyline was almost always childish and overly retarded to appeal to the majority of "dumb males".

During the years, the "Attitude Era" had everything done right.

Storylines in the Attitude Era were ****ing retarded and so were the gimmicks, and the wrestling was way worse than it is now.

And TNA? lol ok

My thoughts on the WWE: It sucks. Badly.SeriousThreat

Off-Topic: So i'm a troll, huh? Well, i'll just show you how much of a troll I can be >: D 

I don't think it's about storylines or being PG, not at all. I think it's all about superstars. You know, Stone Cold, The Rock, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels and Kane are gone. The Undertaker and Triple H are semi-active now, and they'll retire very soon. So who's gonna take their place? Edge? Randy Orton? Or Chris Jericho? You must be kidding me! They are great superstars and I respect them so, but you know, in 10 years from now, I will still remember Stone Cold or The Undertaker, but I won't probably remember someone named Randy Orton even existed! These new semi-superstars are never ever gonna take their place!

IMPORTANT!!!

*** Kane is gone ladies and gentlemen, that guy is not Kane, he's just a jerk whose ring name happens to be Kane, that's all!!***

You're right Honey, those superstars were athletes and entertainers then became stars then SUPERSTARS that we could never forget, who could forget all of the epic things Stone Cold has done? He epitomized the employee who was fed up with his boss and beat his ass, as well as the rock going from group to group to realizing he's better on his own and becoming the single biggest name in wrestling entertainment, and Kane and Taker's over the edge daring dark almost beyond life and death storylines I mean everything was so over the top and the characters were memorable, but now days the characters do not represent real life situations.

Like Cena and the goofiness and easy goingness, and invinciilty he has and not just that, the fact that he's too honest of a man, I mean The Rock would never just say "I lost the match, doesnt matter how i lost but i did and i have to keep my word, but please fans dont boo me, im an honest man that believes in himself" The Rock would have said "I lost the match but I'm not being anyone's B****! Mcguillicutty, Harris, get your two monkey asses down here and alow The Rock to personally check your fat asses into the smackdown hotel" or something of the like.

Characters nowadays are either too bland or too over the top, examples being Santino, Hornswoggle, you know what I mean,,,,,anyways I can't really explain right now what I'm saying but I agree with Young Maverick in terms of chanracters, or rather persoanlities not being able to sell themselves as well as add their own personality to their characters, I eman Edge and Jericho was good at this but you don't see many others

Ya know, if ya really miss the Attitude Era, ya really miss the blood and naughty words, watch TNA. It pretty much is the Attitude Era without the Rock, Stone Cold and Vince. They've got blood, they've got swearing. It sounds like paradise.

Hell, and the wrestling is actually better.

As for the WWE, I've voiced my problems with WWE so many times over the years that I just can't bring myself to list them all anymore. It takes too ****ing long and it never makes a difference. WWE will do whatever the **** they want, regardless of whether I watch or not and they seem to be moving farther and farther away from producing TV that I want to watch.

At least I've got my DVDs.

So who's gonna take their place? Edge? Randy Orton? Or Chris Jericho?YoungMaverick

... Wow, really? You're going to say that?

Chris Jericho will be remembered in the same exact light because he has done just as much as Rock, Stone Cold, etc. He's been around the world for 20-30 years wrestling, he's been in almost every major USA promotion. He's won title after title. He has the best ring skills of almost any wrestler in the world. He can and does cut some of the best promos and has also managed to maintain a large fanbase, despite being only partially active and many times in his career poorly booked. He truly is one of the best in the world.

Edge will also be remembered as either a great midcard talent in the attitude era or one of the leading men in the PG era. Let's face it, Edge is more popular than almost anyone on the roster now. He's a great wrestler and manages to cut really good promos, even in storylines that make absolutely no sense. He's been involved in the first ever of so many matches; and, so many of his matches are seen as some of the greatest, maybe not always for their wrestling, but for what they did to hardcore wrestling. Edge will be remembered for a long time.

Orton is young, or have you forgotten? He has plenty of time to build his legacy. He already had a very successful run in Evolution, did moderately well as the Legend Killer, and has finally reinvented himself in his best persona ever.

If you want to talk about guys that won't be remembered, mention lesser stars. Sorry, but Orton, Edge, Jericho, and such will be remembered for years to come. Batista, Great Khali, guys like that are closer to those that will be forgotten. Hell, how many people still even remember Batista?
