1. What ever happened to Goldberg?

:shrug: He was my fave during the time I actually watched wrestling.

The Rock was my second fave.

2. he is long gone...

the rock does movies now and makes a rare appearance. i would love to see him back full time, but why ruin your body when you can make more in movies?

Sorry. I am being fresh!

combination of physical gift and charisma like few others have had in wrestling.

7. Yeah, Rock was a character

he was just so exciting to watch.
But his movies haven't been all that great. What you expect from him kind of like Arnold and all the other action dudes that make those kind of movies.

9. Rundown wasn't too bad

I haven't seen Doom.

I liked Walking Tall though. I didn't see the original so I couldn't compare.

11. WWE's creative has been awful

The past few years. . . although there has been some good hits and I enjoyed this year's wrestlemania . .(The crowd during HHH/Cena was fantastic). . .

So we'll see how it goes. I just wish Vince would focus on just his product and stop these movie and outside attempts. if the WBF and XFL are any indication . . WWE Films doesn't have much chance.

10. Yes I've heard.

Haven't been able to watch as much wrestling as I would like since I started my new job but I keep up best I can.

I hope they don't half ass the D.X reunion as I think if handle correctly it could be big (Then again I'm counting on the WWE creative team . . . so yah)

Not to mention after Joey Styles promo on Monday I can't wait to see what else happens . . . I've read today that a possible "Spoiler below" . .

. . .

.. . .

Mick Foley heel turn is in the works as well . . so interesting stuff going on.

By the way just out of couriousity. Anyone watch TNA? I've heard Jim Cornette is going to do appearances for the company.

13. i think they can pull it off if they let hunter and shawn be themselves..

i agree that i hope they don't half ass it.

i read the same about foley. maybe a lead up to the ecw revival.

tna has some interesting guys working. i can do without sting though.

15. I did't mind Sting at first

I thought he would help with the ratings. . . but damn has he gone stale quickly . . and as a past sting fan I hate saying that.

18. It's like every time they get new meat in there they burn em out

and put the old stand-by's back in.

The women have better story-lines than the men.

In the past few years it's always HHH, Vince, Shane and whoever they fueded w/in the past. What next - Stephanie and Kurt Angle starting up again? :puke:

20. I've been fine with Trips lately . .

2003 to early 2005 I was bored with him . . but he's grown on me again lately.

1999 to 2001(Before Injury) was his best period in my belief.

22. I like A.J Styles

From his TNA stuff to his ROH styles . . . but I'm more a Samoa Joe guy . . .. .

With that being said I just enjoy the X-Division period. I need to keep up with TNA again . . I've missed the past few shows (But read recaps to keep up with what's going on).

Woah it's nice to have DU wrestling fans to chat with :)

25. they have a goldmine with the x div..

great wrestlers up and down. keep the older guys in the back and let the young guys develop and they may just make a run at the big time with tna. i am really surprised wwe hasn't gone after styles and then buried him like they have done with other stars.

Styles told them no if I remember correctly.

I remember watching some heat matches that had Styles in them from years back.

24. My son watches some TNA

Seems all the players who can't get any time on WWE end up on TNA. Fine, I guess, more action and less BS and behind the scenes. He digs the 'wrestling' not the interview crap.

26. I watch both

TNA does have it's problems at times. . . but it's a good alternative to watch . . and their PPV shows are usually quite good. Besides any fed that brings in Jushin Liger for a few matches here and there has my attention.

31. None of it comes close to ECW.

Edited on Mon May-08-06 05:38 PM by flvegan

Cena, Batista, Triple H...blah, blah, blah. It's all good fun and production. Give me E-C-Dub! anyday, though.

DX will be a welcome return. They could use a bit of a rewind at WWE.

34. Oh yes

Should definitely be a good PPV. They let Heyman handle lasts years and he'll handle this one's again as well . . .

Heyman (misqouting): JBL only reason you were champion so long is because Hunter doesn't want to work Tuesdays (When Smackdown is taped)

needless to say more Indie wrestlers are now trademarking names and likeness of their names if possible . . . .

I have that on my hard drive. That was an AWESOME show. Not only for the action, but for the slap in the face that was doled out to The Corporation. Even Stone Cold got in on it, as only he can.

33. I wished I had watched

More E.C.W back in the day . . . but it never came on at a very good time back then. . . heck I stumbled on it accidentally back in 96 I believe during a bout with insominia . . it was on at 3 A.M . . and hte first thing I saw was Taz put Devon Storm through table with Fonzie blowing that god forsaken whistle of his.

48. Dammmnnn

Sucks I won't be able to stay up for it all . . . I'll have to d/l the second hour later on . . this sounds like it could be a good RAW . . .

I've always liked the steel cage. . . . although I don't like using it too much (Ala TNA doing a whole PPV inside of a cage. . although both of their all cage PPVs have been decent) . . .

Edge I know is good in a cage. Foley has always claimed "he sucks in a cage" but I've seen him pull out good cage matches . . so worth looking foward to.

If Tommy Dreamer is invovled. . . BONUS!
