Wrestling Chat

Wrestling is so hard to watch at the moment. Raw is too long, Smackdown is good but RR is untouchable. You got NXT which is RoH with better production and AEW is just nonsensical spotfest wrestling.

These additional wrestling related shows like Broken Skull Sessions, the A&E specials, WWE Lost Treasures and Dark Side of the Ring are keeping me going.

Last time I watched it regularly was the last time I had a Sky Sports subscription. Four or five years ago easy. Watching mostly the same stuff as you, with the odd diversion into Jim Cornette's podcast.

Cornette has completely lost the plot these days.

What's mental is the the Invasion PPV was 20 years ago next month.

Cornette has completely lost the plot these days.

He just doesn't give a f*ck, which is amusing.

There's no way that the business could have carried on in the Kayfabe manner that he seems to miss in the Internet era, but his almost total disdain for what it's become lately is amusing.

I was watching a lot of indie stuff before covid/ metoo happened

The British scene has hit a spectacular peak and dip in 3 or so years

The Foley episode did not disappoint.

Also quite enjoyed the Drew McIntyre one.

I can't believe people talk about this 'sport' let alone watch it, it is embarrassing.

People watch movies, TV and plays. They listen to music. It's all entertainment. What's the difference apart from your tiny mind?

You say I have a tiny mind, yet you call this entertainment :roll:

In your narrow minded opinion, try telling that to the millions of people who watch it and the millions more who buy tickets around the world to see it, it may not be entertaining to YOU but to say it isn’t a sport is pathetic, the amount of effort and hard graft that goes into performing is something else you only need to look for Tyson Fury’s comments on how much harder it was for him training and performing as a wrestler compared to boxing.

So I am watching the Wrestling with Chyna documentary, Vince Russo has gone up massively in my estimation here.

I hear what you're saying, but imho it is bloody awful.

RIP Scott Hall. Part of one of the biggest storylines of all time and probably changed the face of pro-wrestling with the NWO.
