Hi guys, I just joined this new society and think it's a great idea.I'v been watching wrestling (mostly WWE) since 1998 and stlill catch all the shows, though some months and matches have been hard to get through.
Just some thoughts on what I've read from other people posting.The ECW rebirth has not gone well so far apart from in ratings terms.The first show was awful, enough said really.The second show's results seem to indicate an improvement, but once again with improper use of the Sandman and a main event with 4 WWE wrestlers if one includes Lita--not really ECW.Calling them rebels instead of wrestlers is a joke and the arenas, tapings etc are also laughable.Kurt Angle is openly annoyed at being put in ECW and I want him back sooner rather than later.I never really liked ECW in its original form but do believe it has a niche market to tap into now and could succeed if major changes are made.
Smackdown has better wrestling than Raw, but Mr. Kennedy has not been used correctly since his return and though I like Lashley, he needs mic skills to be a main eventer--best characters right now in the whole business for me are Booker T (sorry, King Booker), Finlay (who was born very close to where I live i.e. Belfast) and his little bastard, Johnny Nitro who I feel has that superstar look but needs a real life attitude change, and DX who made Raw look and feel like it was six years ago in my opinion.
Are people looking forward to Vengeance?
I am for a few reasons, and am not for another few.I hope the Flair-Foley match will not only be a wrestling match as promised but will go at least 25 mins (does anyone feel match lengths are way too short at the moment?); Nitro will hopefully win the IC title and I think without doubt we will see a new WWE Champion in Edge, though his inevitable summer matches with Cena will probably disappoint.
Negatives: Eugene (for flip's sake WWE give it up),'Kanes' match which I think will be a waste of time, a ridiculous 'extreme lumberjack' match with Cena and the rebel Sabu which I think will be another big disappoint with Cena winning I would think.
Anyone there's a lot there, if anyone wants to comment on them, argue them or whatever, feel free.
Regards
Ryan
