What Loss said should be at the top of every message board on the internet.

A lot of it seems to be fear of getting labeled a troll and/or banned if you dare disagree with whatever the current Accepted Correct Opinion is on a subject.

I'm really starting to hate the internet in general. Every place I go to (except NMB ) is just infested with pretentious douchebags. Can't I go somewhere and talk about the scripted rasslin' without getting kicked in the cyber balls?

It's funny how they'll slag WWE and its workers for being talentless shitbags, but threads like "DAVE vs AJ" are full of a lot of the same folks saying Batista is the superior professional wrestler. A lot of people want to have their cake and eat it too, I guess.

How boring is the feature going to be: everyone who's ever tried to compete against Vince (Bischoff, Heyman, possibly Greg Gagne) saying how Vince is the most brilliant mind in wrestling, people in his family saying how Vince is the most brilliant mind in wrestling, people who work for him saying how Vince is the most brilliant mind in wrestling.....etc, etc.

Wasn't that supposed to be Austin vs McMahon originally?

Considering his new nickname, the WWE seems to be putting him in the same league as Jesus.

His tag matches with Rey vs MNM on Smackdown right before he got injured again were really good.

I think this God angle pretty much removes any doubts on the authenticity of HBK's new found beliefs.

I might be the only one, but I liked funny DX HHH more than snarling caveman HHH.

HBK and HHH both did the crotch chop at Wrestlemania, then again tonight on RAW. HBK is supposed to be easing back to "special attraction" status soon. According to reports, HHH is more open to becoming a face again than he once was. Storyline wise, HHH raised the ire of Vince by calling him "the old man" last week, and HHH is getting cheered again thanks to the Cena stuff. DX having one more run before HBK gyrates off in the sunset?

The main event is going to be RVD cashing in Money In The Bank vs the WWE champion.

That explains where he got that head shake he sometimes does before a match. Is it bad that just reading about Benoit's workout program makes my muscles hurt?

Now that I have gainful employment again, I thought I'd bump this with some added monetary incentive for anyone who can do this for me

That's pretty much what I was getting at. WWE is so far ahead in terms of production values (even compared to a lot of "real" sports) that it'll probably hold an edge over any competition on that alone no matter how shitty the wrestling becomes.

edit

I have to say, with the exception of Wrestlemania, TNA PPVs usually smoke WWE PPVs in terms of match quality. WWE PPVs usually have a ton of matches that are criminally short or just brutally bad, with one or two matches really going balls-out that end up saving the show. TNA PPVs tend to have maybe 2 or 3 matches that are short and/or bad and the rest tend to be at least decent if not very good. Better wrestling? Considering WWE's "main event style" has become another way of saying "boring kicky-punchy fest" I'd say TNA has the edge here. They don't handcuff their guys like WWE does. Maybe you can make the argument that they should, but at least they let their guys do their thing and not work the same vanilla style. I don't think anyone would argue that TNA's young talent is better than WWE's. TNA might not use everyone on the roster correctly 100% of the time, but I don't think we'll be seeing them cutting the young talent off at the knees with dead end gimmicks either. Obviously WWE does the presentation aspect of wrestling better than anyone in the US, arguably the world too. It's going to be a while before any US promotion can touch WWE's production values, but I don't think it's hyperbole to suggest that TNA (and ROH for that matter) have much better wrestling on their shows than WWE does. When Impact started on Spike, everyone was crowing about how it would be lucky to do what the WWE C shows were getting in that slot, and how TNA was doomed, and yet they've managed to stay at around a 1.0 rating (unless there's a UFC PPV) for a while now. I often wonder if part of the reason people started calling TNA a wannabe WCW is because they miss having a second promotion to bash on and predict the demise of.

I was extremely disappointed (but not surprised) that almost all of the stuff listed for the 80s, 90s, and 00s has already been released on DVD and most matches have been on multiple sets.

Jerry Lawler is pretty much the best US Southern Style worker ever. If you've only seen him in the WWF or his stuff with AWA/World Class you're really not seeing the real Lawler.

I'm watching Kurt Angle win his gold medal (with a broken freakin' neck!), and pro wrestling has tainted me to the point where the crowd is chanting "USA" but I was hearing it as "You Tapped Out".

Univision is the #1 spanish language channel in the US. It's been around since 1961 in one form or another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Univision

Is this supposed to be based on in ring ability or all around worker ability? Cause whenever people on the net make lists of the greatest, they tend to shape the guidelines to make it so people they might not like (HHH, Dusty, Hogan) don't place well when they're the most influential guys in US wrestling of the last 25 years and should be in the top 5 of any "greatest" list that takes into account things that matter most in wrestling: drawing money and putting asses in seats.

More Orton News: So basically Orton would have been fired, but they don't want him showing up on TNA so they're pretty much going to have him suspended for the rest of his contract. This REALLY needs to be the first challenge to the whole "independent contractor" thing. If Orton really is this much of a fuckup, WWE needs to fire him and take the risk of him showing up elsewhere. Keeping them from being able to ply their trade seems to be a violation of some labor laws.

This can only mean one thing: the return of Super Astros!

Sounds interesting, but would he actually have the cash to make such a deal? It would be interesting to see what would happen, considering their main competitor is Telemundo which is owned by NBC.
