    Re: WWE Fans! A question!
    I watched it compulsively from 1991 to 2001/02-ish. Lost interest over the last 5 or 6 years, but watch the occasional RR or WM if there's a legend involved in a big match e.g. Flair's retirement. I think there are too many 'PPVs'...they should go back to having the big 5 events each year, get better writers and some more top-class wrestlers/characters. One of the reasons I switched off was because it had all gotten a little diluted/stale.

    Lol who else enjoyed Adamle's ridiculous commentary? At least Vince acknowledges he's awful and is getting some laughs out of it, though it won't pull in bigger ratings. 'She's certainly not a pretty face' King 'Er, yes she is Mike.'
    He must be a good sport to do it too, because clearly it was not a work when he first replaced Styles, he was legitimately awful.

    Regal thing is playing out nicely, was so obvious Vince was gonna support him. I liked the Orton RKO ending, though Rock and Austin did something similar over 10 years ago on Raw.

    Be very interesting to see what happens on Smackdown regarding the title picture, I hope they do something definite, really don't have the patience for uncertainty. Either put it back on him or put it on Edge (to face Taker in 2 weeks) or keep it vacant for J Day match.

    I used to watch it back when they had a 24/7 Hardcore title. I was watching a few videos on YouTube last week, and it definitely brought back some memories. Hardcore Holly, Viscera, Ken Shamrock. :p:

    Yea has been a lack of posts.

    I wonder what Batista's role will be at J Day, personally to make the outcome of World Heavyweight Title match less obvious I'd make it a triple threat, considering he was screwed out of it by Edge anyway. Secondly, he could be the ref, or be the ref in HBK match.

    I'd have an MVP/Hardy rematch, would be nice to see a stipulation, ladder match would rule, but with only a week's build up would be wasted.

    Kennedy/Regal will be added for sure, making a thoroughly lacklustre and under-hyped PPV, though that's WWE's own fault for scheduling them so close.

    Cena being absent from Raw, sheer bliss.

    JBL should come out on ECW and mock Adamle, considering his promos have been nothing short of excellent in recent weeks.

    Not particularly. With some wrestlers, there's a lot to watch from a technical view point (Brett Hart in the past. There's no one that compares now, although I don't watch it much so there could be) and some are exciting, aesthetically pleasing wrestlers, such as Jeff Hardy. We don't all do a reverse Festus when the bell rings you know! :p:
    Always liked the technical wrestlers, Mr Perfect was my favourite technical wrestler. Smacks of irony over my favourite tag team, Demolition. WWE ruined Demolition by making them bad guys after turning good IMO. Crush was better off as a single wrestler, as a good guy.

    Mr Perfect should have held the WWE title at some point in his career imo, same with Owen Hart. Crush was kool too I remember his feud with HBK and him as Chainz. It's sad that all three of them are no longer around....

    Not heard of this feud, will look it up. They had one years ago when HBK was Shawn Michaels and Crush finally got rid of Doink. I actually have a tee shirt with Crush on it. I think, without looking, Mr Perfect held the IC title though.

    I don't think Owen was really that good tbh to be champion most people have only said that because he's dead.

    I get what your saying, but the man was excellent in the ring, and pretty good on the mic even as a whining bitch. The nugget was great. I still stand by comment, and it's not coz the dude has passed.

    Re: The WWE Society
    I think this could be a good little topic:

    Who's a wrestler to go without a major title run in the E even thugh they should have?

    If I narrowed it down it would have to be Razor Ramon, I mean the guy was so over. I know I loved the guy. I now know what a **** he is/was though. But there are a few more such as Mr Perfect, Owen Hart, Ricky Steamboat and maybe even Rick Rude.

    I'm going to be really unpopular here but when Owen Hart split up from Bret, I supported Owen. Anyone remember the feud between Shawn Michaels and Rick Martel? That was funny.

    I always thought masked Kane should have had a decent title run, that one day one over stone cold in 1998 was just pathetic. I think his curreny ECW one is too little too late, especially looking at how crap his character had become. I think at the height of his popularity masked, he would have made a good champ.

    Also, I think Christian should have had a good run after the roster split. I thought he made a fantastic cocky heel as captain charisma and was very entertaining to watch in the ring, and cut very good promos.

    Definately agreeKane never got the title enough for my liking, He should have enjoyed it at the height of his popularity, but then again maybe it just went with his whole totured image

    I did love Owen, I remember watching when it happened, On one of the pay per views, and Jim ross annoucing he was dead..It was so weird,i thought it was a storyline because they never stopped the pay per view and all.. sadness.
