Possibly recent pic of Taker
The crazy thing about those series of matches between Nigel and Bryan is that Nigel was injured the entire time. 2 torn shoulder muscles, 2 broken ribs, a bruise rib and some neck issues.
watching wwe Divas match and…
HOLD UP! Did AJ go to the body shop? That chest has been blessed, or that bra is working wonders. Of course, Poor Paige is trying to hold the line, but nobody out cutes…The Cute. :lovin:
-Starhammer-
What the fuck is this? R-Truth’s career has sunken to a new low.
I think Titus is ready. He’s got the charisma and is a good heel. He just needs the opportunity to shine. Creative dropped the ball by breaking up PTP and then doing nothing with Titus solo.
Slater Gator vs the Lucha Dragons is money.
Also who’s ready to give wwe more money?
Titus is shit in ring. Breaking up ptp fucked it up for both guys
Dyoung good hand no promo. Titus promo guy. Together was better.
ok
I’m so in love with Paige. Seriously.
Tyler Breeze, Fandango, Adam Rose team would be good!

Also, some say that the bunny is Darren Young
I have a feeling this is the general mindset for anyone that is still in the Vince McMahon camp
Watching this match…wrestling has really evolved in the last 10 years, technical wrestling is prominent, back then they only did punches and stirkes. But everyone was way over and JR’s commentary is too good that it made you get into it.
Why does anybody give a flying fuck what Joe Rogan thinks about pro wrestling? He’s a known troll and thinks his opinion is fact and using outdated tropes about pro wrestling.
Plus he posted that “it’s still real to me damnitt!” crying wrestling fan on his Twitter. It sucks that the guy, Dave Wills, has a reputation among the IWC as an “adult mark” when in reality the dude is extremely smart to the business.
Joe Rogan was a wrestling fan. He talked about Bruno Sammartino and Hulk Hogan on his podcast.
Hell he just talked about it on his podcast with Robin Black and how some pancrase and pride matches were works because mma evolved from pro wrestling.
But if you are butt hurt because somebody says “it’s silly and you’re silly for watching it”
Meanwhile in other podcast especially the ones with Josh Barnett he puts over how physically demanding it is.
Wrestling is silly. It’s not serious business. It’s like being super into zombies, svu, csi, or cartoons. It is silly entertainment.
Also in 2002 we had angle, jericho, guerrero, benoit, hbk, rey mysterio, booker t, the cruisers.
Using a match out of context like nwo vs rock/austin where they weren’t trying to set the world on fire with wrestling looks stupid.
Here’s a smackdown 2002 match

Also from 2002 probably the best triple threat ever

Hogan, Nash, and Hall were only ever going to work simple matches with brawling back then especially as heels, but to say “10 years ago wwe was all about brawling”
Is stupid. Once the radicalz came in raw improved immensely.
The wrestlers coasted for a long time before the shield came in. We were expecting some good match, but when the shield arrived we were gauranteed 1 great match. Hell with Bryan, Sheamus, Punk, Cena, etc how could raws be boring in ring? But nowadays we have ppv calibur cards on raw/sd
So cool, but 12 years ago we had The smackdown 6, jericho, lesnar, tajiri, hbk, booker t, lance storm, christian,the rock, austin. Team Angle.
we had hulk work hard with taker, hhh, brock, rock, and angle.
I was more into smackdown, and when a guy i liked got drafted to raw it pisses me off.
I stand corrected. The ruthless aggression era was easily the best era for technical wrestling. But that matchup between NWO rock and Austin(stars from the attitude era), is proof that you can get by without technical wrestling if you have everything else.
The characters of today aren’t good enough to get by with just their personalities.
Seeing Cena wearing formal wrestling attire is surreal.
Yep, I also remember what he said about pro-wrestling back in the day and this was during Brock’s reign; and that’s why I call him a troll. He was clearly talking about both sides of his ass and saying shit to piss fans off. He does shit just to get on people’s nerves and draw heat on himself. That’s been his schtick since Fear Factor and people just getting into an argument with this guy when he is clearly working them I want to say “you are falling into his trap.”
Fandom in general is silly, no matter how mainstream it is.
-BTW yep the Ruthless Aggression era was one of the best periods of pure wrestling WWE ever had with a resurgent Eddie and HBK, Angle still healthy, Jericho, Benoit, and Lesnar. Storyline wise it wasn’t Attitude Era, but it was still great wrestling.
I finally saw NXT Takeover 2. I love the feel of the show. Even though it is under the WWE umbrella, it comes across as its own thing.
Joe Rogan loves to troll (dating back to when he was a regular poster on The Underground in the early 2000s), and he has a certain level of respect for pro wrestling, but there is also some truth to his statements. A lot of wrestling fans are fucking weird and mechanism by which they enjoy the entertainment, knowing that it’s men pretending to beat one other up, is difficult to explain.
Wrestling is just performance art. It has fans just like every other performance art does.
I don’t care what Fear Factor has to say, in spite or in favor of wrestling.
