The premiere was a bit of the damp squib, shouldn't really be that surprised

[LOC Veteran]

Was anyone shocked that Abyss beat Dr. Stevie? lulz

Yay ZZ Top on RAW tonight (I'll watch Food Network instead thanks)

[Gio Takahashi]

Victory Road was definitely great. Made me miss the way WWE used to be many years ago, and WCW as well. WWE is so incredibly boring now compared to TNA.

Bring back the BWO! :rofl:

[LOC Veteran]

Heh, the BWO ruled.

Remember when they had the original One Night Stand PPV and JBL mauled The Blue Meanie? Oh man that was INTENSE. I don't remember who finally got JBL out of the ring (I think it was either Sandman or Edge maybe) but if they didn't get him out of the ring, wooooo boy he woulda got messed up hardcore (pun intended).

Plus, who could ever forget the Mike Awesome/Masato Tanaka match from ONS. What a friggin classic. Awesome bomb off the ring unto a table then an Awesome splash unto Tanaka (where it looked like Awesome broke his damn neck on landing lol). Those two worked sooooo well togther. Shame Mike Awesome commited suicide :(

[Rappy Veteran]

oh man the first ONS was the best! every match was amazing!

JBL moment was epic! and Awesome :(

Remember when Heyman did that shoot on Edge....that was so amazing!

[Gio Takahashi]

And thus, the old WWE. Right now it's so boring >.>

"The only reason you were WWE Champion for 9 months, was because HHH didn't want to work on Tuesdays" pwned.

"Oh hide your wives it's Eddddddgeeeee" pwned.

Yeah I would rather watch ROH

JERRY LYNN!

[Rappy Veteran]

Heyman is a god :D

incase anyone knows what we are on about :p

[LOC Veteran]

That was seriously one of the best shoots/promos EVER in wrestling history. Figures it would come from Heyman. Joey Styles was a good one also on ONS, he was choked up also. And RVD, well. He was right when he said WWE turned him into the "yeah" "dude" 4 word guy. Give him a mic you morons!

And just in case people don't know, JBL is actually a millionaire and a Wall Street guru. Those "storylines" with him and Shawn Michaels and the other stuff they did over the years was taken from reality (like alot of stuff they do) because he's quite rich and you know, Vince liked him.

It's still sickening how they ended his WWE career imo. Loved him or hated him, he did shoulder Smackdown for quite awhile and he did have quite a few great fueds over the years, not to mention the APA stuff. GG Vince for letting Rey Rey beat him in 15 seconds at Wrestlemania. GG.

This. Same with Vickie Guerrero who's the wife of one of the now legendary wrestler, Eddie Guerrero. WWE likes to really stick it to heels in a really embarrassing way, especially if they are on the way out.

And good God, Heyman was awesome.

Yeah I would rather watch ROH

TNA for me. It's like Neo-WCW for me :D

Yep, i was watching those two from another PPV, they seemed to have some really great matches. I remember watching the ONS match thinking that it was easily the match of the night.

I remember when he and Eddie had their feud on SD and he was a damn good heel and good at what he did. I don't completely like him (although i thought he was awesome as the colour commentator) because i've heard some stories about how he used to bully people but i respect him as a performer.

Part 1 of the whole match

Part 2

It's not in HQ, but it's worth watching if you've never seen the match. Seriously, one of the best matches I've ever seen.

Though I will say the Heatwave 98 match they had was way more epic. It's linked in there on Youtube in the related area if you guys wanna see it. Amazing stuff.

[Rappy Veteran]

Hey dude lookie what I found on Neowin...started by you as well :p

[LOC Veteran]

Yup :p

[Rappy Veteran]

You know reading back that post, it was amazing how we were all praising it and wanting more...and more came and it was **** :rofl:

remember when Cena threw his shirt in the crowd and they kept throwing it back!

[Gio Takahashi]

Yep. Definitely remember that. Sometime the crowd loves Cena, sometimes the crowd hates Cena.

It's really awkward hearing Joey Styles' commentary towards Awesome when you take into account he did commit suicide.

I feel sad when i think of him and how WCW ruined him. That 70's Guy - WTF were they thinking?

omg oh yeah he used to have a really hippy bus if I remember

[LOC Veteran]

Everytime I hear Joey Styles say "to bad he didn't kill himself" I think about that. I wonder how Styles felt when he heard Awesome commited suicide. :(

And yes, he was also the "Fat Chick Thrilla" as Joey Styles mentioned, ugh did WCW ruin him.

[Rappy Veteran]

WCW ruined alot of people, but for the whole it was Nitro I used to tune into rather then Raw during the Monday Night War days.

[Mazhar]

WWE has lost it's quality, old days were awesome. Now if you see a wrestling match, even a main event, you will certainly find lot of holes in it which are reflecting that it is all planned. I do not see the aggression, the anger in new WWE superstars as we used to see in Austin, Hogan, Undertaker and Rock, Triple H now has become little lazy may be cause he is getting old, but still the only HHH has stamina and can win titles.

[Gio Takahashi]

Not exactly, of course it's all scripted, all that aside. If you watch the pay per views, you'll notice that nearly every god damned match has at least 5 minutes promotion before it, sometime even longer, with recaps from several shows, which REALLY cuts into pay per view times, and ends up only giving so few matches to watch. I am really getting fed up with the direction WWE is taking.

Also, 90% of the awesome stuff can't happen because the board, or whoever is /really/ running the show is trying to "childize" the franchise as much as they can. Result: You'll never see a true hardcore match, you'll never see what WWE REALLY was like, women wrestling sucks compared to what TNA has to offer (and good god it's awesome), Every main event has been done over and over and over again, with some variation (ESPECIALLY WITH ORTON). The Heels are extremely boring and annoying because they "cheat" and pull cheap move to win. (CM Punk's fake injury, kicking a referee in a friggin pay per view match, Randy Orton using his lackeys to DQ matches for him.)

The different with TNA Heels and WWE heels is that TNA Heels are GOOD at what they do, they're much more fun to watch, and they don't pull cheap tactics, constantly, to win.

Last night me and my friends watched Victory Road, and there were very little promos. TNA are awesome to the fans, most of the super stars give fans a LOT of respect. Go to any WWE live events, then go to TNA live events, and I can easily guarantee you that you will have fun with TNA.

I love WWE, I've been watching it since late 90s (same with WCW), but frankly, I am really getting sick and tired of the direction WWE has been taking over the past year.
