This has been my whole point all along. And CM Punk isn't the only reason WWE isn't completely stale. I've found myself watching all of Smackdown the last few weeks and only parts of Raw. This is coming from somebody who hasn't watched anything outside a few random PPVs and Mania the last 10 years. I got tired of WWE before the attitude boom ended, and only had a passing interest from then til here recently. I'm watching again now. Do you really think I'm the only one that's getting into the product again?

The Ultimate Fighter says hello.

It will be edited

Not only I said change the PG rating (which most people would say), I also came out with things I also noticed over the years like rehashing storylines, the lack of actual wrestling time, and resurrecting three divisions (Cruiserweight, Women's (real, not the Diva bullshit Vince has), and Tag Team).

Good thing he didn't keep his fingers on the side of the table.

COLE: Why are we still talking about Daniel Bryan? Why aren't we talking more about Heath Slater?

BOOKER T: Because Daniel Bryan has a great story.

COLE: How do you know Heath Slater doesn't have a story? You didn't do any research on him.

BOOKER T: I know he was in a band. I know he was the only one in it.

:lol:

Booker T is amazing

lol

Tag Team wrestling, Cruiserweight's and women's wrestling don't draw. Never have, never will. Why people are obsessed with this is beyond me. Concentrate on writing better main event storylines.

Find CM Punk

People generally want wrestling booked for them specifically.

They confuse "what I like" with "what will draw."

Which is why so many people will insist that Jobber "X" should be a main eventer.

What a terrible song.

haha saw that earlier when caught the end of smackdown, thanks for the reminder to watch it later!

I found eeeeeem

Actually, I've said all along that WWE being uncreative and lazy booking has been as much to blame as the PG rating. How is that undermining my point if I said it to start with? And how is that trolling exactly if I've been on topic?

i'm beginning to think more and more you are the one who needs to use your brain more...

To me, the only reason WWE has been relevant is b/c of CM Punk. He's the one exception to someone who has pushed the envelope while still being PG limited. Some may disagree with that perception, but then again, that's just one guy's views. True, other things have kept me interested like Cena/Rock and Orton/Christian. For the most part though, I have been underwhelmed with their shows since 2004-2005.

And I'm sure with the CM Punk angle and the recent return of The Rock, several old fans flipped back onto the shows. Hell, that was proven on RAW last week when they got almost a 4 in ratings. That has been the highest rating they have attained in quite some time.

The PG label can be worked around, but it takes alot of creativity and effort which hasn't even been noticable until recently. Hopefully, that trend will continue and not just a short term thing...

He's at 0:15 as well. I pity you that you had to listen that far.

Apparently Jimmy Jacobs was backstage at MitB and Raw, and had a tryout. I don't think it'll happen, and I doubt they'd use him right, but I would LOVE if Jacobs ended up in WWE,

CM Punk rolls deep with that DMS clique. I love me some H2O.

I :rofl:'d so much when I saw this.

I'm new here.
 

I'm name is SexyLady. I love watching wrestling. I like at the superstar and diva.

:)

This should be good.

What's your favorite match?

I'm name is dhellova guy. If your going to gunna call yourself SexyLady, you am gunna hafta post pix of yourself so we can decide if you is or not.

What the fuck is this?

If I had to guess I'd say it's some kind of Samoan tribal dance/ritual

Thank you I'm favorite match would was When Triple h and the undertake :) at wrestlemania 27.

Who are your favorite wrestlers?

I think it's called a Haka (or something like sounds like that). And, yeah, it's a traditional Samoan dance.

Lyrics:
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! tenei te tangata puhuru huru! Nana nei i tiki mai! Whakawhiti te ra! A upa! Ka upa! A upane kaupane whiti te ra! HI! USO!

Translated: I live! I live! I die! I live! I live! I die! This is the hairy man, who fetched the sun, and caused it to shine again! One upward step! Another upward step! One upward step! Another! The sun shines at dawn! Brother! (if you include the USO! scream)

It looks like an attempt to get over.

I have noticed the Usos - since the face turn, with the Hakas and the dancing and stuff - have looked a lot better over the last few weeks.

DumbKellyKelly Amy Winehouse died. Another sad wrestling tragedy. :(

I believe the recent surge of mainstream attention the WWE has received is due to Mark Henry's push.

I was gonna make a thread about this. Are the Usos actually over or do you think WWE is pumping noise into the broadcasts? It seems like they have been getting a huge reaction lately.

I think they're giving them some help in post, but most of the arena reports mention surprisingly good pops for them at tapings and house shows. I think if the '90s taught us anything, it's this:

Dancing Samoans = cheers.

Well, that's certainly interesting.

Too bad they don't have a tag division worth a fuck. What does it matter if they're over if there's no other real teams for them who are over? They'll just get over and either split or mysteriously go back to Superstars and never be heard from again.

Yeah. It would be nice if there was another team that could be the Edge & Christian to their Hardy Boyz.

Note: I'm not equating their talent to Matt and Jeff, but they were jobbers once, too. Both of those teams were in the midcard (lower, really) until their feud blew up, elevating all four.

HulkHogan I was afraid to quit wrestling like the Rock did. HH

The questionable "Checking the Oil" wrestling move is NOT A MYTH ... so says Hulk Hogan -- who tells TMZ he was once on the wrong end of the violating technique from 7'4" Andre the Giant!!!

http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/07/21/0...deo-credit.jpg

Hulk's story backs up the claim made by TMZ's Mike Walters -- that wrestlers will press a finger on the bottom end of an opponent in an effort to throw them off their game ... aka "Checking the Oil."

According to Hulk, who was at LAX yesterday, Andre would oil-check people "all the time" -- and the worst part about it ... HIS FINGERS WERE HUGE!!!
