Trivial or even stupid things you miss...
 

Not like big deal sort of things, like the Rock wrestling or whatnot, but smaller things.

For example, I miss the whole "Stevie Richards as Dude Love" thing. "Chicks dig the Dude!"

It didn't change wrestling, it wasn't even like a great angle, but it was fun and amused me.

Two words- Zach Gowen.
Too bad this kid couldn't get a leg up on the industry (rimshot)

We're both going to hell for that one.

I miss "INDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!"

Oh God, so do I. :D They always cracked me up.

I miss Heenan on commentary.

I miss truly funny backstage segments. I'm talking about the DX backstage sengments where they make dick jokes, I mean like with the Rock and Hurricane, or at KOR 2002, with the Rock, Booker, and Golddust.

Hurricane-Rock and Booker-Goldust segments were fucking GREAT

Interesting feuds.

Robocop in WCW

I miss it work paying well... :(

Don Callis :'(

goldust and his terets(sp?)
cornbread dammit cornbread

Triple H being injured.

Mick Foley as the Commish

Stevie Night Heat

Deputy Angle

non-spinning belts.

awen Ojhn Cenaa used 2 rap[p thas was phat!!!11

That actually made me stop watching for a while, it was so fucking annoying...

Bischoff overhyping HLA.

5 second pose

-Guys doing tilt-a-whirl powerbombs from the turnbuckle corner (ala RVD vs. Jerry Lynn).

-Big main event matches on TV that end clean (personal favorite: Bret Hart vs. Chris Benoit from WCW) that send the viewers home feeling like they've seen something relevant.

-Verbal sparring from the announcer's table. King and JR used to do it, during the Attitude Era, but these days they agree on everything. Cole just isn't quick enough to match wits with JBL, and JBL usually just says ignorant shit anyways. And Tazz and Styles may as well be giving ECW a blowjob all night long, prepping the product, but not attacking each other.

-Shattered Dreams.

-Christian's WWE promos.

-Eric Bischoff. Seriously. The guy is entertaining.



Most of all, I miss switching back and forth between Nitro and RAW.

Never...eee-e-e-e-eeever....AGAIN.

But it spilled over to other guys' segments too. I remember watching Undertaker try to cut a promo on Smackdown one night, but the fans wouldn't shut the fuck up and let him talk.

He just stood there and glared at them for about a minute and they stopped. Fucking awesome.

On a more serious note than the crack at Gowen....

I miss the magic. I miss how watching my favorite wrestlers used to be the highlight of my Saturday morning.
I miss the older format. I'd like to see a few enhancement talents get squashed just for the hell of it during the show, and not to build up a farce of an undefeated streak I want to see more complex matches, feuds that put over wrestlers, and managers who aren’t part of a gimmicky team.
I miss how I never complained about a show. I miss wondering “Well if everyone says it’s fake, and that chair really hit him in the face, how was that faked?” I miss how I hated Ric Flair with a passion when I went into the 3rd grade. I miss how the only reason I said my prayers and took my vitamins were because Hulk Hogan told me to, brother! (this is almost funny because as an adult my views on The Hulkster and The Nature Boy are totally reversed)
I miss how the faces were role models who everyone wanted to be like, and how the heels were the scum of the earth. I miss looking at the wrestlers for who they were, and not looking at them as “the next so-and-so.”
I miss how a chair shot ended the match, titles meant something, and the good guys rarely broke the rules.
I miss how I used to see it. No, I don’t want to be some sheep cheering for John Cena for no reason. I just want a reason to mark out again, and for the love of God take K-Fed the hell out of the wrestling ring.

Tonight’s show put me in a funk. Something about it was off, and it felt more like a chore than a form of entertainment I’ve been watching religiously for over 15 years. All of these thoughts about how much I used to love it came to a head all at once. In two hours I didn’t see any real ring psychology, a few promos that left me cold, and wrestling that was bad (even as today’s standards go).
I miss having that reason to care.

Pepper and Al Snow


Fuckin' Bossman

I totally agree with what your saying. I fill the same way about it being a chore to watch. I usually have it on in the background and do something else. I have been forgeting TNA is on at all. Its just not fun.

I grew up in the mid 80's on the NWA. I was never a big WWF fan. Oops i mean WWE, hate to be sued. I miss great tag team wrestling.

I was gonna say I miss Farooq, but, well, Damn.

UT: You will Rest...

Fans: WHAT?

UT: IN...

Fans: What?

UT: Oh, fuck this. I'm going to be in my trailer.

I miss Katie Vick moving when I fuck her

Hah, I remember when Undertaker said something like "Say 'what' if you sleep with your mother!" and like only a third of the audience said it. :lol: I DO NOT miss the "What" chants at all. I find them fucking annoying when the promos have nothing to do with Austin, especially lately.

But I DO miss:

* Billy & Chuck. Seriously, they were gold.

* Tough Enough...in the style of the first three. They should've kept it going in its original state, maybe every year or two. TE4 was abysmal.

* The Big Three (WCW, ECW, WWF) competing. Even though it was mainly WCW vs WWF it was still greatness. There was a taboo against mentioning the competition, so when Bischoff did it in the form of spoiling Raw, and then WWF did it in the form of a DX invasion, it was amazing.

* The old Eric Bischoff. The one that screwed over his Raw wrestlers, brought in 3 Minute Warning, and was the greatest GM of all time.

* The catch-a-midget match from Bischoff's Raw Roulette thing, where Hurricane and Rosey had to try to catch a midget, who ended up in J.R.'s lap...and he won the match. :rofl:

* Biker Taker. I just feel that we didn't get enough of him. We had like 2 years of Biker Taker and 13+ years of regular Taker. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

* Emo Kane. Kane crying is just too fucking hilarious. We need him back.

* The chemistry of the commentators...man, nothing can beat Monsoon and Heenan back in the day. Gold right there. ACTUALLY, what came close was Heyman and J.R., when the former took over for Lawler during his absence. They would almost fight during commentary and it was awesome. It didn't last damn near long enough.

That's all I can think of for now.
