None of those types post here.

There are plenty of "we hate everything exccept WWE" types though.

Everything except WWE does suck though. Why is WWE broadcast to millions of homes around the globe and everything else is in a toilet in New York? TNA is the closest thing to WWE and everyone slates the shit out of it. Iv watched it and its tripe, its WCW-lite. Iv watched ROH and it is nothing but an ECW but sometimes people love to root for the underdog or go against the grain to be cool. If everyone would take a look at themselves in the mirror they would admit that WWE is the best thing going in wrestling today and its been that way since about 1998.

This is like saying McDonalds is the best food in the world because there are more restaurants.

The WWE's popularity doesn't necessarily translate from the quality of their product. Generally, a lot of the wrestling is good but you can't honestly say you'd prefer a 5 minute skit involving Hornswaggle over 5 minutes of Davey Richards against Eddie Edwards?

Oh definately. The same way in which emo and scene-kids talk about obscure bands in an attempt to look cooler.

Yeah that was awesome but the tornado tag from raw was ten times better again and that was pure wrestling with no big spots to hold the crowds attention. Im not saying WWE is better BECAUSE it is broadcast worldwide, it is better and THEREFORE is broadcast worldwide. WWE has reached mainstream which allows other smaller companies to attempt to grow

You are aware that not every ROH match has big spots? Wrestlers in ROH rely on these 'big spots' no more than they do in DragonGate or TNA. No-one criticised Kurt Angle for jumping backwards from a cage during that god-awful match with Jarrett last month, but they jump on the bandwagon whenever ROH is concerned.

It's the same way people dismiss CZW as garbage wrestling without giving it a second glance. There are some very good wrestlers and events, but because the Tournament of Deaths receive more attention than anything else it does, CZW will never get any recognition.

Depends on what you define as 'better'. As a wrestling company, one would assume this means wrestling, but it doesn't. The WWE got big through clever marketing, Vince's aggressive takeover strategy in the 80's and Hullamania. None of those things, particularly the third item, have anything to do with good wrestling.

Well if you say company after wrestling you have to look at $$$ and then Vince wins hands down. I agree WWE focuses less on wrestling than other companies, whether it be stupid skits, XFL, Tough enough etc but they have the money, money talks and the best wrestlers will want the big paycheck so you have to assume the majority of the best wrestlers are in WWE. ie better matches
