attitude era >xinfinity any wrasslin show


WWF :proud:

:fp:

wwf was the last to get on the bandwagon.
ECW started it, wcw blew wrestling up with the nWo.

all the wwf did was take a watered down ecw style and throw money and production values behind it.
it's only called the attitude era because wwe won and bought the rights to the wcw and ecw brands.

vince then went on to blow the invasion angle which would have been an nwo style takeover but for "real".

I heard from some of the shoot interviews that wwe was about to go bankrupt in 1997 when wcw was beating them in the ratings, vince couldn't pay the production staff wages.
if bischoff new this he would have killed the wwe and we would be calling it the nwo era.

you need to watch some old ecw. :thumbsup:

-e-
this :proud:



:lol::lol::lol:

wcw didn't know what they had with this guy :proud:

:lol::lol: number 2.. Arm Bar... Number 6.. Arm Bar!! Number 700... Arm Bar!!

So lemme get this right, damn. You like a wrestling show, for the actual wrestling? :eek:

That is... different.

I don't watch it for the storylines :lol::fp:


no nWo = no DX.

it's hard to understand now but the nWo was a revolution in wrestling.

a decent analogy would be that wwf was juve they were the biggest and best around and wcw was milan.
like milan got bought by berlusconi wcw got bought by ted turner (owner of cnn) they both threw money at their teams and both wanted to make them the best.
hogan, hall and nash where the MvB, gullit and rijkaard.
bischoff was sacchi and the nWo was the revolutionary concept.

nWo was the reason wrestling became cool.

One thing's clear - WCW vs WWF put on much, much more of a competition than WWE vs TNA. :lol:

If only TNA started posing a legit threat to WWE. :head:

WWF became amazing because WCW was awesome as well, when your competition is great you will become great.

we can have different tastes but we can all agree that the WWF and the WCW were awesome.


wwe is lame and TNA is even worse


I don't think the awesomeness of WCW or WWF will ever come back, especially since most guys out there are pussies compare to hogan/316/scott hall/kevin nash/hbk/HHH/rock/taker etc.

A reason why TNA wins is because WWE is on
sky and other cable channels you have to pay extra for , TNA is on free channels.It does play a factor , but I don't think it's much behind and only 1-1.5 in the ratings .

Anyway ECW 94-97 greater than anything anyone put out , had cruiserweights first , had Benoit Eddy Malenko Juve Jericho Phsycosis Rey first , the bloody brawls edgy storyline shocking promos it was a bit OTT at times , Raven was awesome .. I loved that period of ECW

Since forever? Daniel Bryan is 178/179 but everybody's calling him a midget.

WCW Jericho was not jacked.

just downloaded genesis.

tna added a no 1 contender stipulation to the daniels vs storm match and added samoa joe vs anderson to the card hours before it was due to start :fp:
they informed people over twitter :lol:
what the hell were they doing the last 4 weeks of impact? why not just mention it on air? it would literally take a min and would make people more likely to buy the ppv.

aces got 3 fights on the card.....guess that's 3 more jobs to add to the list. :lol:

I know he got the title because his contract was coming to an end and dixie was worried the wwe would get him.

can't see him losing the belt till lockdown. :head:

Daniels for world champ.......I would mark like a bitch. :proud:

From what i've read couple of weeks ago he has renewed. No matter how popular he is with the kids I don't think Vinnie Mac will resign him.

have you seen swackdown?
that show needs a "charismatic enigma" :lol:


from all reports he has cleaned himself up and vince still has people like orton on the roster.
tna couldn't take that risk, he is the no 1 merchandise seller for them and probably the most popular with mainstreamists

Yeh but you see how they're treating Orton now, from main eventing wrestlemania to an opening filler match on every ppv. He's just... There... He can still be sold as a way to put younger guys over (Ziggler at Survivor Series), being 3rd gen wrestler and 9 times world champ and all.

---

Sage: Orton is already on his "official" 2nd strike for wellness policy (god knows how many is the real strike). Technically One more and he's out.

watched half of the NJPW wrestle kingdom show.

prince devitt vs low-ki vs ibushi was good.

low-ki needs to keep that hitman outfit going. looked badass.

would love to see devitt in america. he has that superstar look and his body is shredded :b:
NJPW must pay him more then any x-division wrestler (and half the tna roster) so no chance of him in america :cry:
Kota Ibushi has done tours so he would be a great option especially for the X world cup.

Devitt will be a jobber in WWE, he will be Sydal'd. Matt Sydal was awesome in Dragon Gate. In WWE, he is, as Miz and Morrisson said, a total virgin geek.

you have to, HHH is a "belt mark"
he was badass but half the time he was world champion he wasn't the man and if he wasn't banging stef he wouldn't have been the champ

I used to watch pride and I love boxing.
real wrestling and pro wrestling is completely different.
the point of real wrestling is to out skill your opponent.
the point of pro wrestling is to tell a story......we know it's "fake" but we wanna see them tell the story.


think of it like a junkie, the first time a junkie gets high it's mindblowing, out this world feeling like nothing he has ever felt. so they take drugs to replicate that first time but never do. so they take it more and more often to get that same feeling.

smart wrestling fans are like that, we know it's "fake" but we hunt that "ignorant bliss" that moment which makes us forget that brings us back to when we thought it was real. :proud:
