Has over whaling killed WWF/WWE ?

Question

I remember when i was a kid back in the days i used to love watching WWF those were like golden age for WWF, they had Hulk Hogan, they had typhoon, they had Undertaker(1st generation), they had Shawn Michael, Jake the Snake,...

What HAPPENS NOWADAY IS: you get vince mcmann up there mc'ing talking B.S. .... and wrestlers up there putting on a show for half n hour saying i'll kick your a*s this and that... and half an hour later they're still standing at the same spot saying i'll kick your a*s, and wrestlers start running backstage the moment they see backups from another team they trying to bully.....am i watching wrestling or am i watching the mcmann show? or has WWF always been the same all these years ? I just remember back then it was more professional (80's till mid 90's). i think some of the wrestlers back then even repped the olympic team as well.

Has WWF been overcommercialized ??

Answer 1

Yes, thats exactly what happened

Answer 2

Wrestling HAS changed over the years, but to say that it's not as entertaining would be wrong. Back in the "golden years" the top wrestlers were not on TV every week. Hulk Hogan, the Ultimate Warrior, and the Macho Man would usually just do a promo to hype their big matches on a pay-per-view. Besides that most of the programs relied on the younger/unproven talent. There would be a fwe storylines, but besides that it would just be a few matches to fill the time.
It is true that the WWE brand has seen a lot of top stars come and go, but at the same time there are several performers who continue to perform every week. The Undertaker, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels have been wround for years and they are now spread over Monday Night Raw, ECW, and Smackdown! Furthermore, as the business has grown so have the storylines, moves, and styles. Check out a show and see for yourslef that although the wrestling format has changed...it is still very enjoyable. Plus, you never have a rerun so it always moves forward.

Answer 3

I has definitely been made to commercial and gimmicky. "Heel" wrestlers run and cower all the time when it is time to face a crowd favorite. It's not you imagination, wrestling is complete crap nowadays and Vince McMahon is a large part of that. More talk, less matches is his new approach and the program are geared towards pleasing the 10-15 year old age range because the "good guys" always win which is what the little children and "teenie boppers" want to see. The business is less professional and more predictable than ever. True fans from the old school do not appreciate today's junk at all.

Answer 4

Vince McMahon Jr. KILLED the WWF/WWE. When his father was running it, Vince Sr., was when it was about Good Guy/Bad Guy and was really popular. You know the late 80s to mid 90s. Heck even with the WCW the WWF didn't go too far away because they had to TRY to compete. When AOL and Time Warner were merged though Ted Turner was getting out of Time Warner before the merger and before it was too late. Due to that the WCW was sold and Vince Jr. bought it as well as ECW so he would have no competition. Short history of the mistake that created whatever WWE is. I haven't watched wrestling since the end of WCW though, and really that killed Wrestling. Kind of a shame too considering how big wrestling was getting.

Oh and as to the World Wildlife Federation(WWF) suing the World Wrestling Federation, I don't think they CARED about sharing the nickname under Vince Sr. Heck he was a smart man and proably had a deal with them. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Vince Jr. renegaded on the deal as to what set that off. Either that or they just didn't want to be assocciated with what he was doing. You remember when Owen Hart died? Remember Vince Jr.'s responce? It was "I'm just giving the fans what they want"

Answer 5

back then the wwe wuz a lot more family oriented. the worst taunt ud ever hear would be somethin like "i'll kick ur butt!" now they appeal to male bachelors and nerdy horny teenagers. combine that with ufc takin most of the male fans, and u get a sad joke of a business. wut the wwe needs now is a guy like hulk hogan or the rock or steve austin to come in and say theyll kick ur ***. they need a guy who truly has a good act that does not get stale and a guy that is truly charismatic. someone totally different from real life. the guys now look too much like ufc guys, so theyre expected to do realistic things. the wwe needs a captain america like hulk hogan, or a redneck like steve austin, or a just plain awesome dude like the rock, or a scary awesome dude like undertaker. they need someone kinda unrealistic but still cool. someone not like the ****** joke cena.

Answer 6

For the main area they wont. in this occasion i might say no. maximum assaults by way of killer whales are actual situations of unsuitable identity. The wetsuit could make a human resemble a seal, and regrettably has gotten human beings injured and killed before. the only different likely reason one might decide for a human is that if the whale felt its existence or somebody in its pod became into in possibility. nonetheless, a wild animal is a wild animal. It would not be unthinkable for them to assault a human like another wild animal is able to doing. enormously while their area gets invaded. they're the main important species of dolphin, and that i've got heard of untamed dolphins attacking human beings before(and clearly of them protecting them from sharks! lol), so i don't see why not...it purely isn't very probably. Wild animals will continually be unpredictable on what they could or won't do. =) There are infact countless documented situations of untamed Orcas attacking human beings, yet none have been deadly. (Google is your buddy) Killer whales (or orcas) are useful predators able to killing prey plenty extra desirable than human beings, which contain leopard seals and enormous white sharks. they have additionally been recorded preying on frequently terrestrial species which contain moose swimming between islands. even nonetheless, wild orcas at the instant are not seen a real possibility to human beings, as there are few documented situations of untamed orcas attacking human beings, and not one of the recorded assaults have been deadly. there have been approximately 2 dozen situations of orcas attacking human beings using fact the Seventies, very almost completely perpetrated by way of captive animals. experts are divided to no count if the injuries and deaths brought about by way of captive killer whales have been injuries or planned tries to reason harm.

Answer 7

The main killer for WWF/WWE is that it is not real. People want to see real fights. With Pride and UFC so popular now, I think that people don't want to go back and watch fake fights. Maybe I'm wrong, but that is the vibe I get from most people on the WWE.

Answer 8

Oh My God...the period that you've mentioned has gotto be
"The Golden Age" of Wrestling. I used to feel really proud to have a show like that playing in my room's tv...Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker. you're like watching real wrestling man..everyone had their trademark styles....damnnnnn those were some GOOOD OL' TIMES !!!

Answer 9

I cant answer because i stopped watching when the good old days died (besicly when they split up the Hardys) but bear this in mind...

Isnt it interesting that the WWF left the Wrestling untill it was as big and commercial as it is... then the sue the *** off them... hmmm, very moral.

Answer 10

i think it's been like that all these years.thier actors,it's called scientific acting.back in the seventies(if you were lucky enough to have a tv here,and color was vertially unheard of.)they had wrestling,im not sure what it was called.world championship?anyway there were people like andre the giant,mario milano,killer carl something or other.some of it was staged but not to the extent it is now.but it was a lot better than the crap now.well in my opinion anyway.i did have the oppurtunity to meet a few of them and the one who i remember the most was andre the giant.a photo or reading his profile dont do the man justice,you have to stand in front of him and shake his hand to get a real idea as to the mans size.just massive,hell of a nice bloke luckily.lol.i refuse to watch the wrestling now but i'd watch reruns of the ones i refer to.in color to?lol.

Answer 11

The WWF has been overcommercialized. That is the biggest understatement ever. I can't even describe the extent of it. All it is now is mouthing off for hours.
