The only way Austin would interest me today is if he was a guest referee/enforcer etc, and even that would be boring and predictable, ending with Stunner's etc.
Fuck guys. It's been 22 years of my life, but I'm really starting to think I'm done with wrestling.  I'm so bored of the product, I skip through Raw and get through most of it in 15 minutes, same for PPV's. I just don't care for all these old timers anymore. I wanna see more of Cesaro, Ziggler, Rhodes, Barrett etc. And their pushes come and go so often I struggle to maintain interest. Fuck what a rant... |
If truth be told I feel the same way. I mentioned to another user recently that I haven't really watched Raw or a PPV fully since WM 31.
A lot of it was the disappointment I felt with WM 31 which a lot of people seem to feel to the contrary. I don't know whether it was a case of building something up so much and then having expectations dashed. As a huge Sting fan I was disappointed by the way the match ended, it was good and had memorable points like NWO v DX but it could have all been executed so much better. My ideas for the Sting v Triple H feud and having the match go last etc. perhaps I have become out of touch with wrestling today etc.?
Part of my "faith" in wrestling was shattered with the ending of the streak too and I a adamant it was neither necessary to make Lesnar big nor the right thing to do with regards to the Undertaker's legacy. Many will swipe me for this but I just cannot hold Undertaker in that same high regard anymore as that aura of invincibility he held which set him apart from the likes of Rock, Austin, Hogan, Flair, Savage, Warrior, HBK, Triple H, Foley, Cena, CM Punk all the legends I can think of.....it's gone. Before he was The Undertaker, the phenom the only man to be unbeaten at WWE's flagship show. Now he's just like everyone else. A legend yes but nothing special above and beyond the rest. Even though McMahon claims it was Taker's decision, I think it was the wrong move and from a WWE perspective they should have convinced him otherwise.
I just don't feel that excitement with wrestling anymore and whether it's because wrestling really has gone crap or perhaps I have outgrown it and it's got to the stage where the big stars are now either my age or younger........there was always something exciting about idolising people older than you like a hero or role model etc. Sting making his debut in WWE rekindled that emotion.
I just don't feel that way about say Rollins or Wyat or Ambrose though I rate them all highly. Cena and Kane are the ones I like still and Undertaker until the day he final hangs up his boots. Big Show and Jericho still exist from that era but more a fan of the latter. Mark Henry never liked then and certainly not now.
Once Sting and Undertaker and Cena and Jericho are gone/scale back on their work, I will probably sign off.
Apologies for the rant but it's nice to see someone else echoing similar sentiments.
