My problem as a non-wrestling viewer now

**Jon Kano** · 03-19-2009, 05:59 AM

Its been a long time since I was interested and watched WWE consistantly.

Not the biggest wrestling fan, but I know my fair bit.

Watched wrestling from 1991-1995, then 1999-2002, which was my fave era (1999-2001).

Some of my fave wrestlers in a kind of chronological order...

Razor Ramon
Mr Perfect
Adam Bomb
Bret Hart
The Rock
Steve Austin
British Bulldog
Chris Benoit
Eddie Guerro
Kanyon
Bryan Clark
Test
Batista

So lately I have been watching the odd RAW, I'm going watch Wrestlemania, but theres somethings I can't seem to like or find entertaining....

The aftermath of the WCW and ECW infulx has created this kind of feeling that a championship is not as important as it once was; too much of a roster, not enough time to show off everyone so things seem rushed and pieced together.

The writing used to be so much more constructed and part of a greater plan.

Theres no importance to the substance now in my opinion, theres also no edge, in terms of the danger and attitude element, I realise the attitude era is over (fuck I loved it) but theres no overall feel. I don't think I'm explaining myself correctly, but I just feel something is missing and its lost something special.

I havn't thought these out much, or know if these ideas would or could be implemented but I'm thinking more stables?...yinno a bit of antagonism and signs of division....unify the shows man, take it back to two decent shows and spread the camera time and talent more evenly that doesn't just turn what was once a decent show in Smackdown to what is fast becomming the new Heat.

Am I wrong? living in the past? I dunno. But please discuss....

Am I wrong? living in the past? I dunno. But please discuss.... There are stories of coincidence and chance and intersections and strange things told and which is which and who only knows....and we generally say, "Well if that was in movie I wouldn't believe it." Someone's so and so meet someone else's so and so and so on -- It is in the humble opinion of this narrator that these strange things happen all the time.......and so it goes and so it goes and the book says, "We may be through with the past, but the past ain�t through with us."
