This is basically to get people's opinion on certain a couple topics that involve the wrestling world. First off....aside from Shawn Michaels, Edge, The Hardy Boyz, Triple H, Chris Benoit, The Undertaker, Booker T, The ECW Originals, Kane, Ric Flair and Rey Mysterio there are no more Superstars from the era that made wrestling what it is today.....the global phenomenon it is. I mean think back to Hell in a Cell at the King of the Ring in 98'.......or the original DX when it first came out......the nWo.......hell the Four Horsemen for god sake.....so much that was happening....and where are we now?? We have people like John Cena and Batista, people that I just cant get into.....I am too loyal to what i remember from the 90's, I will never forget how into Shawn Michaels iron man match I was, or even when Bret Hart came back and fueded with Austin. The list goes on and on but the bottom line is that wrestling is nothing like it used to be, if anything it is taking a HUGE step backwards!

A lot of this has to do with WWE having no competition. Sure, there's TNA but they have come nowhere close in giving WWE a run for their money. Some examples..... WWE from about 85-91 was a good show. It was exciting because WWE had competition from the NWA. Then, Flair left the NWA, and the NWA Became WCW and the show was horrible. The WWF show then became horrible to about 1997. Remember the mid 90s stuff? A wrestling clown, a wrestling plummer, garbage man and other crap. But by 1997, WCW had gotten back on track and were doing much better than the WWF. So, WWF struck back again and created new stars, but they made it interesting. Today, WWE is trying to make new stars but they are not making it interesting because they know YOU will watch every week no matter what and because of that, there is no real reason for them to put out an above average product.

WWE has become more commercial for families and kids and no longer has the cutting edge approach. I think alot of it has to do with the purchasing of WCW and ECW. They now have no competition to force them into better storylines and most of the matches have become stale. I thought the Punjabi prison match might be good but turned out to be terrible. Replacing Stone Cold,Bret Hart and even guys like Shamrock and X Pac with Cena,Baptista and Khali is a serious step back from the WWE. The corporation vs DX, McMahon v Austin,Bret Hart v Shawn Michaels and Hell in a cell,Inferno and boiler room brawl matches are now dead and with far too many(below par)"superstars" the WWE cannot concentrate on proper storylines and most matches now are between superstars who don't have any reason to fight each other. Bring back the attitude!!!!!

WWF was so much better than current WWE it's not even funny. Back then you had: Austin, Angle, Undertaker, Mankind, HHH, HBK, Jericho, Rock, Benoit, Guerrero, Kane, and Bret Hart until '97 and the list goes on and on. These guys all had great matches and made WWF fun and exciting to watch back in the 90's etc.

WWE has the likes of Batista, Bobby Lashley, and that turd John Cena being shoved down our throats like there's no tomorrow. These are the 3 worst main eventers/champions in the past decade and from the looks of things are the only 3 that get any attention devoted to them. WWE has plenty of good wrestlers on the roster...only thing is: they get passed over in favor of these roid monkeys who should be in body building contests instead of WWE.

All because McMahon has a mancrush on these types of clowns.

i completely agree. it's hard to the audience of the WWE to really get into the new generation of wrestling. and it does seem like things are going backwards. in the 90's WWE and Wrestling in general was at it's height and now things are cooling off. although I'm fine with Cena, Superstars like Batista really are taking away from the whole thing. most of the new folks don't really have that drive to impress the audience. that's why people like Shawn Michael's, edge, the hardy boys, the undertaker, Benoit, Kane Rey mysterio are still on top years later. these days you just can't get into the storylines like you used to.

I agree. WWE is nothing compared to the WWE of the 1980 and 1990's. Back then, Faces were faces and heels were heels and stayed that way. No turns. No stupid storylines. No boring promos.

I feel sorry for fans now a days who just started watching wrestling. They don't know what a 1 hour match looks like. They would never get to see tag team specialists like Rock and Roll Express, Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, the Road Warriors make a tag team match into a thing of beauty.

Give me DVDs of wrestling from the those years. I would watch them any day rather than what I see on WWE.

I liked wrestling back in the 80's/90's better than today. I agree its hard to get into what they are promoting today. I miss the days of the Monday Nite Wars. I miss the Hollywood Blondes, The Hart Foundation, The 4 Horsemen, The Rockers. Tag teams and stables were better back then.

Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy wrestling and still watch it, but its not like how it was when I was a teenager.

i know how you feel, and i to Gus, i don't think he's saying he wants those wrestlers to be there forever, he's just saying the wrestlers today should give out the same, if not more intensity than their predecessors in the 90s,80s,etc. Its been like this every since WCW and the old ECW went out of business. When that happened there was no real competition for the WWE and they stopped putting much effort into there shows when they didn't have to compete on mondays with Nitro so now there all alone, pushing anyone into superstardom, and getting rid of any real talent within the next few years. Hopefully TNA will give them something to worry about in the near future.

hell yeah man, the old days were the best. When they shed blood it was actually thiers, these asswholes dont know anything about wrestling. Cena can kiss my *** for all i care. Batista aint no metter. Too much steriods, not enough heart. the '90's were all about beatin the hell ou t of each other for pure fuckinh meanness. Now its all about the green ($) . Like the wreslte mania 23 match called The Money in the Bank Ladder Match, that aint nothing like the good old days.

Hey Time waits for no man.... As in all things in our world change happens. It is part of the natural course of things. Unfortunately the changes are NOT always good ones. Yes wrestling has gone down hill. Some of the storylines they go too far. Some of the stuf is just way to cheesy!

The same thing has been said when Wild Bull Curry,Lou Thezz,Fritz von Eric, Paul Bosh,Hulk Hogan retired.Wrestling was going to hades in a hand bag.The evolution is necessary to produce the revolution of a new and greater sport.
