why are today's wwe wrestlers boring?

Question

mvp
ken kennedy
what happened to maven
rookies are boring
needs major improvement

Answer 1

I totaly agree with you. I grew up on WWF....this whole WWE with the "modern" way of wrestling is more like a soap opera then sports entertainment. I watch the pay per views on occasion but I rarely tune in to the weekly stuff anymore ... just not worth the headache and diminished IQ points.

Answer 2

Its not the so much the wrestlers that are boring, its the garbage that Vince and his buttkissing writers write for them that make it boring. Not only boring , but corny , ridiculous , and non-beleivable. The wrestlers only do what they're told and most of them will never reach they're full potential in the wwe because Vince won't let them create they're own characters and write they're own promos. WWE has some very talented performers that can make it big and turn the wwe back into the media powerhouse that it once was but they have to be used the right way. My personal favorites are guys that are not only great wresters but are great actors, promo cutters and storytellers. I would try to build raw around DX right now because they are veterans and they can get the young guys over but the story has to be right, i mean c'mon vince where's the creativity? Thow a couple of young members in like cryme time or carlito, get some titles involved and find the right foes to make people want to watch. Edge is the over-rated superstar and Orton's lack of charisma and in-ring ability will never draw a big crowd.
Smackdown is different, unlike raw they have very little talent on they're roster. But without a doubt, the Undertaker should be holding that championship belt and leading the way. Kennedy has charisma but lacks the in-ring skills to ever be great, MVP is still too unexperienced, Lashley and batista are nothing more then big stong juiced up guys who would have been stars in the eighties but this is the year 2006 and the fans prefer more charisma and wrestling skill from the champion. King Booker should go back to being Booker-T, how stupid is his gimmick? what a waste of a great talent. Anyways, like i said Undertaker should carry the belt and guys like Kane, Benoit, Matt Hardy and Booker-T (not king booker) should be the guys trying to take it from him.That would be a start in the right direction as long as the stories are interesting, intense and beleivable.

Answer 3

I think Mr Kennedy has got a good wrestling future in WWE because he has the attitude but the rest suck.The WWE creative team have rushed people like Cena and Batista to the top too fast but there again WWE haven't got wrestlers like Stone Cold and The Rock anymore.People like Triple H took years to get as many title reigns as they have now but Cena has been Champ about 3 ties this year alone(he wins and wins the title..he loses and loses the title)he's like Triple H because they both like hogging the Championship.

Answer 4

Ken Kenndey is incredibly NOT boring. I'm not quite sure what it is that you consider entertaining in wrestling, but that guy's got "future champion" written all over him. The fact that you're talking about things that are boring, and this question is NOT about John Cena, makes me wonder.

It's not the wrestlers that are boring, it's the WWE style of wrestling that's boring.

Answer 5

Vince is all about change and trying to reach younger generations in a particular era. (I heard him say something like this on Howard Stern's show 2 years ago) He's not targeting people now who watched the WWE 10-20 years ago. He mostly has guys who are trying to find out what young people (I say from 11 yrs old - 26 yrs old) are in to, and he adapts it into the entertainment on his show for that time period. He needs more and more viewers to watch and pay to see the show, and he believes that sticking with old ideas will drive today's youth away from it.

Answer 6

Storylines are boring because there is no competition!!! The best days of wrestling were when WCW was in business and the two companies tried to outdo each other every week. Until TNA gets a Monday night timeslot across from RAW................continue watching boring wrestling.

Answer 7

Vince wanted the good pros to work harder and not pay them more for the work and most of the old wrestlers cant handle the punishmient it takes so they have to retire and most of the good ones now have jumped ship to acting or TNA.

Answer 8

exactly and a good point proven. what is happening to wwe? the wwe we used to love where anything could happen and hardcore title would be defeneded all the time. if wcw was still in business i would watch wcw more. but atleast we get to see undertaker and chris beniot and the divas and extreme rules matches in ecw but it isnt the same. it isnt as good as it used to be.

Answer 9

So true that's why I watch TNA now Sting is over there along with Angle and a few others from WWE!!

Answer 10

well, some of the up n' coming stars have yet to prove themselves. so far, Ken Kennedy is making a name for himself. i was pretty impressed by his talent during his debut. his rolling samoan drop off the top rope was a pretty impressive finisher, and he cracks me up too. MVP, however, sucks to high hell. he's like Jonathan Coachman's younger brother, who does a poor variation of the people's elbow (which he showed during his recent SmackDown no-DQ match with Kane).
