Wrestling (Discussion)
 

I noticed the Wrestling DVD thread is fairly popular and I can't help but think there has got to be some wrestling fans in DSF land, so why not chat about it.

Whether you grew up watching it or still enjoy it, chat it up.

Please, no "wrestling is fake" posts. Yes, we know, it's scripted. That's why it's called entertainment! :D

I'll start....

My All-Time favorite wrestler is definitely the HITMAN.


As for current wrestlers....you have to respect Triple H but I love MRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. KKKKENNNNNNNNNNNNEDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYY.

His gimmick is great and I think with the right push and if he stays healthy--he can be as big as Stone Cold.

Just shows how much I've missed in the 6 or 7 years that I haven't watched Wrestling. Kennedy could end up as big as SCSA? I find that hard to believe Pat! My favorite growing up was definitely the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels & then the Rock.

I saw Wrestlemania in person long after I had stopped following wrestling just to say I saw it. It was pretty cool to see Hulk Hogan live, I'll tell you that much.

I'd love to see WM live!! I was too broke to go when they came to Chicago a couple years back but maybe one day. The Rock was def the shit. NO ONE can do a better promo than him. As for Kennedy.....yea maybe what I said is a little far-fetched but I can still see him headlining major PPV's....

Yea The Rock was awesome, such great entertainment from him, Austin was great, Hitman, Big Boss Man, Macho Man, Warrior, Hacksaw Jim Dugen, Piper, man those guys were fucking amazing

Im not really into wrestling these days the story lines dont seem to cut it like they used to?

I agree. I still follow it, mainly just reading the results online. For a while they were doing the same old stuff and it was getting way too predictable but they have started to turn the corner. Lots of younger guys are getting their well deserved push to stardom (see CM PUNK) and they aren't shoving the big guns down our throats anymore. And the fans are getting smarter! They boo those who deserve booing (John Cena) and cheer the ones who deserve the cheering! (Kennedy, Triple H)

I dont know anything at all about wrestling but i watched UFC 87 with Brock Lesnar, who used to be a wrestler, and that dude kicked some serious ass!

That pro wrestling may be fake or whatever but that guy is a serious athlete, in fact, he's a monster.

Lesnar was pretty popular in his wrestling days though his in-ring work was a bit rough. He is def. more fit for MMA and I can tell you his first loss was just from being inexperienced. And I think he proved that at UFC 87.

good idea pat! ill probably be on this a lot to talk wrestling with you, but for now i am on vacation and my time on the DSF is non-existent.

i went to WM2000 in anaheim, ca. it was amazing.

I watch wrestling on again off again, for years at a time... I like that there are three branches of the WWE and having TNA around for something to watch on Thrusdays is okay, but man WWE has to come up with some gimmicks... I love santino marellia because he actually has a personality... It just kills me to watch WWE some times with all the personality lacking people.

Cena is just a watered down version of the Rock.

I can't wait for Orton to get back in the ring again... they need another bad guy
