Good enough they ought to go to UFC but for a guy like me who has actually grown up seeing Iron Sheikh going at it with Hogan. In all my days of watching wrestling i have never seen anyone cut a better promo than Iron sheikh or have better in ring capability than him. There may have been some before him (of which i dont know) but since only Angle, Benoit and now DB come close. What i mean is that WWF/E has a sort of sentimental value for me coz i idolised some of these guys and i love the business (i stopped watching when they threw out Mr.Kennedy.... a real star player sacrificed at the altar of nepotism) now i started again with this year's royal rumble mainly coz of DB, jericho's return and to certain extent Punk's pipe bombs lol.

Oh boy, a "back in the day, there were no playstations; we played with a stick!" kinda guy.

Iron Sheik and Hogan were legends. Exactly that: Legends. They are the past. Im not saying the present or the future is/will be better but you need to forget those days. A lot of people here (including myself) when we see blood, we HOPE the WWE will go back to the Attitude era but we have to realize that is not going to happen. It was good while it lasted.

Mr. Kennedy is now (AFAIK) in TNA. You are more than welcome to watch TNA :) Noone is forcing you to watch WWE and there are no storylines between WWE and TNA at all.

Brock Lesnar's match with John Cena at Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view got rave reviews from most fans who saw the show, but Lesnar went ballistic backstage after the match and was screaming at WWE officials and ripping apart the locker room.

According to PWinsider.com, the huge blow-up took place because of the promo John Cena cut after the match.

The original plan was for Cena to be so badly hurt by Lesnar that even though he won, he would be stretchered out, which would keep Lesnar looking strong.

Lesnar perceived Cena's speech as a double cross by WWE officials and totally lost it backstage.

The angle on RAW with Lesnar and Triple H and Lesnar's temporary departure from WWE television was the plan all along, but relations between Lesnar and WWE are not good at the moment.

:|

Well, Calum thought it was part of the storyline so now here is a debate :p A speech like that made no sense at all on air and the original plan was indeed more natural.

I wouldnt trust Lesnar as his guy seems like a shooter and a total *******.

If HHH's arm was broken/dislocated/fractured no one would be able to hold it. R-Truth did a horrible job of selling the injury but grabbing his arm repeatedly.

The injury is indeed fake but imagine if Lesnar applies it correctly (hurting someone).....

If his arm was really broken, Brock would be in a lot of trouble for assaulting the CEO]/s] COO. Remember, storyline!

Fixed :p

Well, in part you are right but remember that Brock just came from a sport where you are suppose to hurt someone.......FOR REAL. Going from REAL to FAKE sometimes the transition is difficult. Shamrock was able to do it but some arent...

I guess i didnt get my point across. I am not saying Bring back the attitude era... even though it will be better (its never coming back because of WWE now being a public company and Linda trying to get a republican seat in umm... cant remember where) what i am saying is that guys are not being given enough time to build up feuds and not being given enough time to actually make a real great entertaining match. Hogan and Skeik were working everything... submissions, suplexes, throws you name it they did it. What i am saying is that majority of matches are missing that 'variety' that keeps people hooked. Most matches these days are 'Slam Bam Thank you Mam' kind and that is because of minimal in ring skill. People might cut good promos (Cena cuts some good promos but he cant carry someone atleast not well enough... which you need to do in a good 'entertaining' match). That is all i meant.

I am not asking bring back the attitude era or anything like that i am just saying start emphasizing things that got WWE such a strong following from 80s onwards which was a combination of good mic skills and more than good ring skills.

I believe that DB and Punk will show that if a wrestler has good mic skills and very good in ring attributes he will get over with the crowd by himself (Even though they are pretty much over already)

Dont think he will survive much longer if he keeps on getting goldberg chants lol WWE doesnt like to be reminded of its failures

I wonder if anyone will start doing Sean O'Haire chants when Damien Sandow makes his debut then. :p

That's not serious, BTW. Although I would say Damien Sandow's gimmick is sort of a cross between O'Haire, Matt Striker, and Christopher Nowinski.

EDIT: Hallelujah, the thread has been fixed for me! :woot: My posts show up straight away again, and I'm finally getting email notifications again! :D

      Seems like Neowin has transitioned into being simps for the white house. I can't find a review for the last UFC games that came out.
