Wrestling....
 

Does anybody else watch the quality programming that is WWE (previously WWF) or the promotions shown on The Wrestling Channel (channel 427 on Sky)?

Thought I would ask, as I have not seen it mentioned, despite the obvious high quality programming :D , or am I the only one???

Re: Wrestling....
 

It's a good laugh, I watch WWE most weekends :)

Re: Wrestling....
 

I used to watch it every saturday. Haven't watched it in ages though. Is Vince McMann (or whatever his name was) still in charge?

Re: Wrestling....
 

Yes, he bought out WCW 3 years ago :)

Re: Wrestling....
 

Excellent - Russ is older than me and still watches it :D Only kidding, I still watch the programming every weekend and if anything good is on The Wrestling Channel I watch that as well.

Re: Wrestling....
 

It can be amusing from some deeply ironic point of view (if you try hard enough) but to be honest it scares me if I watch it too long - all those yee-haw-ing rednecks in the audience seem to be a little too in to it all for my liking.

Re: Wrestling....
 

Ever since they changed their name to WWE I havent watched it. Ahh i miss the days of royal rumble, shame they put it on PPV..

Re: Wrestling....
 

Soon ALL the big events will be PPV. I'm certainly not going to pay £15 to watch it, it's certainly not worth that much.

Thought this was about proper wrestling, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks on a Saturday afternoon live from Bacup Town Hall :tu:

I can't take the American wrestling seriously, winds me up big time

Re: Wrestling....
 

They're both dead though :cry:

Re: Wrestling....
 

:( didn't know that

Re: Wrestling....
 

That wrestling was exactly the same, it is simply Evolution (in joke for wrestling fans!! :D ) that has improved today's wrestling from the days of out of shape Big Daddy doing splashs!

I thas simply expanded to include innovation to add to the fan baiting from the bad guy and fan cheers for the good guy. It has become a male orientated soap opera - girlies have Eastenders / Corra etc and fellas have WWE / TNA etc. :smokin:

Re: Wrestling....
 

I prefer the 'no-rounds' version like the yanks have, the 3 minute rounds of the UK style was too slow IMO.

Re: Wrestling....
 

Blooming Eck Debsy!

I remember when that was on.

Didn't go myself as I saw them elsewhere.

What you doing hanging around Bacup? It's the dead end of the world.
(/me remembers dancing in the manning junior's club))

Re: Wrestling....
 

All together now 'Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy! Easy!' - ah those were the days

Re: Wrestling....
 

I remember him, and Typhoon too.

Ahh the good ol days. I remember the L.O.D, hacksaw jim D, rowdy rowdy piper :D nowadays its the same story over and over again.

Re: Wrestling....

Re: Wrestling....
