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  , or am I the only one???

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....
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....
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.

Re: Wrestling....
Thought this was about proper wrestling, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks on a Saturday afternoon live from Bacup Town Hall 
I can't take the American wrestling seriously, winds me up big time

That wrestling was exactly the same, it is simply Evolution (in joke for wrestling fans!! ) 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.

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))
