When I was watching I was thinking the same thing, until my scheduke prevented me from watching it much. I went from watching everything to just watching PPVs and every other Raw. Then just PPVs, then nothing. It didn't even occur to me for a while that I had stopped watching, I didn't miss it at all.
I'll still catch a match flipping through channels once in a while, and I pull up random matches on youtube sometimes, but the current product is just not for me.
Pretty much the same here, except I never usually bothered with PPVs to begin with.
Nowadays I just watch Botchamania on Youtube.
I'd rather rewatch old ECW matches than WWPee.
Juvi has always wanted to be another wrestler but himself.
I tuned in for the last segment of Raw last night and it was a performance evaluation by Vince McMahon on Paul Heyman. Gold. Diamond-studded gold. Heyman was everything wrestlers nowadays fail to be: fresh, quotable, brilliant, and entertaining in a way that should make both wrestling fans and the casual viewer happy.
If you hate wrestling but are reading this thread for some reason, go find that entire segment and watch it with the sound well up.
Paul Heyman has always been a great promo guy and last night was no different. A great villain.
Looks like we'll have another Bork Laser vs Triple Haitch match at Wrestlemania..ZZZzzzzzz
What's your opinion on The Rock's promos since he came back?
Same ol' same ol' really. The crowd eats it up and its good for what it is but I'm personally tired of all the lame "punk ass bitch", "twinkie tits" stuff. He had some really great ones when the Rock/Cena match was building up and the whole Fruity Pebbles stuff worked great for Cena but I'm not fond of the stuff he did with the Punk storyline. The name calling stuff is funny against a cartoonish guy like Cena but not so much on Punk.
As for the rest of the show, I'm still not quite buying Del Rio as a face but the fans are slowly warming up to him I guess. Ricardo is great and he's always been a fan favorite really (he's also very good in the ring if you watch his past matches). Ricardo is pretty talented. I didn't need to see Tensai/Albert dancing in lingerie ...woof.. but thats his new character and he's having fun with it.
btw..watching that Bob Backlund HOF vid reminded me what a fun heel he was. GET A DICTIONARY!!!!
I'm psyched that they're putting Trish in the Hall of Fame, and I loved seeing Paul Heyman be Paul Heyman. Brocks return would be a lot more exciting if I knew he wouldn't have to fight Triple H again.
The Rock is pretty bad in a sense. I don't know if it'll affect his legacy as one of the top promo guys of all time, but he is missing something - his promos could evolve in a way that they aren't and it's clear that he either doesn't care or he is oblivious. At least he ripped off (at the Royal Rumble) what is possibly the greatest promo of all time:
