Interesting times at the moment with WWE about to move full force into Wrestlemania mode and Tits n Ass signing some big names and looking more and more like WCW everyweek.

I really love my wrestling and love watching my predictions come true and the odd surprise of course.

My favourite current wrestler is by far Randy Orton. The guy is just pure class.

Any other fans out there?

Tips for Wrestlemania?

riiiiiiiiight. anyways...

Yeah man I am huge Pro Wrestling fan! I haven't been keeping up as much as I should but I too am a fan of Randy Orton. The guy can straight up perform. He's got great microphone skills, excellent mat skills, and has some pretty decent charisma.\
But my favorite wrestler for the last 4 years or so has got to be "The Rated R Superstar" Edge. He reminds a lot like Randy Savage. Very good from the top ropes, and he can make a crowd hate him or love him with one or two speeches.

And as embarrassing as it is to say, I am secretly becoming a fan of Shamus. Maybe it's just because I think John Cena is the biggest douchebag in the WWE, and Shamus seems to make habit of kicking his ass, but Shamus is a freaking monster.

Yeah Cena can go Suck It.

I think DX should just go away. I mean they were cool back in the mid to late 90's, but they should know when to give it up. HBK Shawn Michaels looks ridiculous with that bandana he wears. But I guess Vince needed some ratings boosts, so he decided to bring back DX.

As for TNA, well I applaud them for trying to keep up with WWE, and I actually think they have a great product, I don't like the fact they are trying to isolate themselves down in the dirty South of the U.S.A, basically talking smack about "That League on the East Coast".

I used to watch WCW anyday over WWF when it was the NWO verses DX, but I live in the North, and if they continually insult the region where I'm from, and never do shows north of Georgia, it will make it hard for me to support them.

And don't get me started on ECW, this whole WWE owned thing is a joke. Do you remember the original ECW from the 1990's? They put on some sick ass shows. I went to Heatwave 98 and 99 at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio, and the things they used to do would just make your jaw drop to the floor. Unbelievable shit they would do; scaffold matches, flaming tables matches, first girl to get stripped matches, you name it they did it.

But yeah man I'll back you up on the love for wrestling! Some folks just don't get it.

Do you ever watch any of the "indy leagues"? The real small leagues that are held in barns or American Legions? They might not have the glammer or glitz of WWE or TNA, but sometimes you get an awesome show, usually for only a few dollars. I've been going to a lot of these lately.
 
Living in Australia, other than a small operation locally we rely on what the pay TV shows us.

I spend a lot of time reading wikis and bios on different wrestlers and have learnt much about the past and various circuits over there.

Yeah Edge is an enigma for me. Its really not been until the past 18 months that i have started to take him seriously, I just couldnt handle his character and always thought he could do better.

Shamus shits me because I always feel blokes should pay there dues before getting top billing and for that I hold a grudge but he is certainly doing well otherwise and I can see why they elevated him so quick.

Cena...............I dont get this guy at all and he just doesnt do it for me one little bit. But I cant explain why. I also realise Im not alone as many times I have heard him being booed, sometimes quite loudly. One show recently had me in stitches hearing the crowd boo Cena and cheeer wildly for Orton. Cena does seem to do well with the twinky part of the crowd.

I am a fan of new guy Jack swagger but his time is down the track as he matures and also they provide him with a solid character instead of the twat he is now. I remember HHH being a shocker in his early manifesto as some silver spoon guy. It was aweful.

I think Shawn is on the way out and I wont be surprised if this is his swansong at the Wrestlemania. I am a huge fan of DX but not as a wrestling team. I think they would be better off doing storylines and funny stuff with them but of course its hard top find new material.


Speaking of buildup to Wrestlemania................its just got nothing on last years brilliance. This year is falling flat. Hope it picks up a lot during the next few weeks.

As far as Cena being bood, I dont cant remeber the last time he did, If he did it would have been way back when he first started.

John Cena, Rey Mysterio, and The Undertaker IMO are probably one of the most favourited wrestler's in the WWE.Oh Also DX are up there aswell
 
I used to be an avid watched of ECW, XPW, and CZW.

I have been to WWF restaraunt and store in Times Square.

I have met Mick Foley twice.

MazDan you watching Raw tonight? I'll be back tomorrow to discuss!

Yeah watch it every week without fail although i admit to 30X through some of the boring fights.

In Australia we dont see it until Wednesday afternoon but on the good side we get to see Smackdown on Friday afternoon which is even before the USA.

This Hart business is just about the worst ever wrestl;emania lead up in history. Its just lameass.

I was wondering what HHH would be doing at WM and that now seems to be sorted.

I said 2 months ago that I felt HBK was about to retire and i reckon Im right.

I hope the animal breaks Cenas neck again so we dont have to put up with him for a while.
 
Oh you can bet your ass I'm watching it, HBK Vs Undertaker II has me chomping at the bit. You just know that match is gonna be a slice of fried awesome.
 
haha you got that right.

What about some tips then..........

Edge to spear spear spear Jericho and take the title.

Cena to beat Batista.

HHH will spank the white mans ass.

Orton to win the 3 way because the other two will screw each other.

Miz and Show to retain there belts.

I have a bad feeling that Kingston will win money in the bank as they might continue to give him the push........waste of space imo. I would like to see the young un Swagger get the push and win the money in the bank.

Mysterio vs Punk...........does anyone really care?


HBK and Undertaker I have a feeling will end in a no result unless Im right and HBK is retiring. If its a no resulkt then could it set it up for a future no DQ must be a result retirement match???


Mr Mcmahon vs Hart...............hmmm, I expect some shenanigans and i had better get them..............who knows whats gunna happen with this one.

Biggest surprise of WM??? hmmm..........hard to say but there are bound to be some biggies.
 
So who watched WM??

I didnt, but saw the results on the net soon after:)

My brother is downloading it on DVD right now:)
 
I watched it and Im not ashamed to say i cried at the end.

I got Jericho match wrong but otherwise pretty much spot on.
 
I lost all respect for Vince Macman(SP?) after what he did to brett hart. If you havnt seen the documentary wrestling with shadows bret hart you should it is really great. Anyway Vince has no class and I refuse to support his company in anyway.
 
My hero retired. I have been watching him for 20 years and well, I will miss him. I guess I cried because I sort of understood where he was at the time and was crying with him if that makes any sense.


As for Brett Hart..................pfffft, What Vince did was smart for business because nobody could risk him taking the belt to WCW. Brett just had a good cry about it.



As for the twaddle we just had to go through................that was the lamest part of WM26 that pathetic Brett Hart angle. Hell it was even worse than the Mysterio/Punk thing.



All in all it was a rather ordinary WM saved massively by the quality of Taker and Michaels.
