AFter realsing that i wasn't the only person who watches wrestling, i thought I'd start this thread.

Now, no bitching and moaning about how "It's fake!". I don't give a crap.

Just say who's your favorite wrestlers, match, feud, entrance, whatever.

Triple H- He's proved he can work both effectively as a face (D-X), or heel, and held more titles then I can shake a stick at.
John Cena- Like him or not, his record speaks louder then his raps.
Evan Bourne- Possibly the greatest high flyer I've seen
The Undertaker- 17 and 0, soon to be 18 and 0.

My favorite match so far is The Undertaker versus Shawn Michels from Wrestlemania 25.

"John Cena- Like him or not, his record speaks louder then his raps"


IMHO, the records don't matter because it's pre determined.

As far as his "raps"......never mind

he's an ok shoman, no rock/austin/hogan


Mr Perfect rocked

The Million dollar man

shelton benjamin and charlie haas

The top has to be I.R.S. A campy role played to perfection.

And whilst you're pointing and shouting at the boogeyman in the corner, you're missing the burglar coming in through the window.

Well, Duh! Because they had a giant Mining ship. If you had a giant mining ship you would drill holes in everything too, before you'd destory it with a black hole

I don't like wrestling, but I still have favorites!

As a kid I remember how cool Sgt Slaughter was and how much I hated the Iron Shiek!

In Afghanistan it seems the most famous American is John Cena! Everyone knows him for some reason!

But only in his favor if people like him. A win is a win, regardless of whether it's predetermined.

I'd have to go with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin as my favorite wrestler as he was the instigator of my two favorite bits in the WWF....

I used to watch it until I got the impression that they only cared about the main superstars and seemingly got rid of all the lesser ones, hence a lot of them going to Heat I think its called? Even Kurt Angle.

Add to that the fact that the video games have gone drastically downhill. It seems they've trading quality for higher graphics. And getting rid of a decent storyline for custom made charactors was a big no-no in my book.

Roll back 5years and further and wrestling was great, now its just pants

I don't generally watch WWE/TNA. I watch indy promotions like Ring of Honor, PWG, CZW and CHIKARA.

Watching a lot of TNA at the mo if I'm honest, but still get the odd WWE show in, mostly RAW. Its been wierd and funny watching Nick Aldis on TNA (was Oblivion in Gladiators) also waiting to see what WWE do with Jemma Palmer (she was Inferno.)

watching Vince Macmahon evolve into an evil meglomanic was just fun, inspired and fun. His feud with Steve Austin was great.
the downside to this was him with his world title around his waste almost as bad, but not quite, as David Arquette 'winning' the WCW title.
