WTF Wrestling Fans

[Glassman]

No doubt this has been asked before, but WTF is going on with American Wrestling?

Undoubtedly a huge money pit... but without the fans the empire would fall. I don't get it. There are more adults than kids in the sell-out crowds; what / where is the excitement??

Things just are not the same since the demise of Kent Walton.

Those were the days .....

Kendo Nagasaki, Mick "Not the Ears" McManus, Tally Ho Kaye, King Kong Kirk, and who could forget Pete LaPaque and Wild Angus !!

It was always faked, even this side of the pond. WWE has been a soap opera for years.

"'Right, bruv"
"It's my pub now!"
"Rickeeeeeee!"
etc...

I've just realised that I've posted this in the 'Sport' forum, Mean Jean.

[Negative Creep]

It's like a soap opera basically; all pre-determined and preposterous, but you don't know what the result will be

The Royal Brothers - strange, as one was called Bert Royal and the other was called Vic Faulkner ...
Brian Glover - the Tetle Tea bloke who went by the name of Leon Aris (sp?)

Those indeed WERE the days.

WWE's main problem is Vince's ego. TNA looks like WCW did before it went under. Aside from that everything is fine.
