The Wrestling Thread: WWE WrestleMania 31 [NSFW]

[Pontius Pilate]

Maybe I should start watching Smackdown? All I watch from the WWE is RAW really, although I do try and keep upto date with the PPV's - which are usually still quite stale and boring. One silly little thing that really puts me off the wwe product is actually the production, it's far too good. Everything really bright and shiny. Don't know why that annoys me...

WWE.

TNA entertains me a strawberry floating hell of a lot at times, but at least 85% of that entertainment is for completely the wrong reasons.

Even thought TNA does deliver excellent wrestling, WWE just has that finished product....

Oh strawberry floating hell.

In the final chapter (Rope Opera) Russo tells fans: "Oh, and one last thing, for the record: I called Paul E personally to ask him to join TNA. He declined."

Russo also pays glowing tribute to his wife Amy and three children Will, VJ and Annie.

Russo writes: "I cry when I think of all the sacrifices the family have made for a business that will never give a damn about any of us. A business that will never know any of you personally, but wanted to take you all down at my expense.

"I apologise for the time I took from each of you, while handing it to a locker room full of ungrateful wrestlers who only cared about themselves — with the exception of few.

"I can't get that time back and I know that it was a mistake.

"To those fans who supported me over the years: thank you. I'm just grateful that at least some of you 'got it'.

"To the critics: the negativity hurt . . . and it still does. If that was your intent, bravo. you win: I lose. I hope no other person has to endure the kind of criticism I've had to.

"What hurt the most of all is that those taking the cheap shot never knew me, never knew what I was about.

"At the end of the day, I was a man just trying to support his family. Nothing more, nothing less."

Yeah, that's it Russo. I'm too stupid to understand your booking.

This, coupled with that "I've been hurt more by wrestling than anybody else has" and "A concussion isn't a big deal for a wrestler" really shows what this scumbag is like.

Also, The Rock is overrated.

Please, Leave this thread, and never return....

Wait, Didn't you say a while back if someone won you wouldn't return?

Maybe I should start watching Smackdown?

Yes, it's by far the best weekly WWE output, and usually is much more in-ring based than Raw; most SD main events total as much in-ring action as entire episodes of Raw and Impact.

TNA for me; there's hardly anyone I care for in WWE anymore. Being a huge indy fan it's nice to see a lot of guys i've seen wrestle getting on TV

Though if WWE did a Punk/Danielson fued then I'd be watching WWE a lot more

Punk/Danielson would be amazing, although I could quite happily switch Punk with Jericho or Edge.

Put me down for the TNA contingency

At the end of the day, we watch because of the wrestling and personally if I want to see the best wrestlers I watch TNA.
Apart from the Main event scene I love Tag-team and cruiserweight wrestling which WWE handle so, so badly

Another one for the good guys

[Lonestar]

Better news for TNA this week.

Impact did an 0.86 and 1.2 million viewers, up very, very slightly from last week (2%).

We don't have a Raw number but it appears the show averaged 4.5 million viewers, which is down significantly (over 1 million viewers) and a terrible number for the WrestleMania go-home show.

[Prototype]

WWE supremacy.

[Zellery]

People should at least watch Smackdown and NXT before condemning the WWE and its product. It's completely unfair otherwise.
