Yep, I second those sentiments. Those were the good old days for sure. Wrestling was definitely better back then. Hasn't been the same since the attitude era ended. But I still watch, and I love it. It's just something I can't get away from, and probably never will. It's too addicting.

I have been watching the new stuff mostly since last Wrestlemania season, and while I enjoy it, it's mostly because I enjoy the art form. There are very few forms of entertainment that I enjoy as much as well-done pro wrestling, which is why I have been watching lots and lots of old stuff. I eat that stuff up.

 

I do think that once a wrestling fan, always a wrestling fan, though.

I didn't expect Ziggler to win that match, but it would have been really nice if they didn't have Ziggler get pinned yet again!

Great 6-man match at the end. The rest of the show was a gigantic clip-fest, with prerecorded junk throughout.

 

There was maybe 45 minutes of watchable stuff. I just can't sit through another montage of The Rock, Cena, Undertaker. . .

 

I'm a Vegan! Bah. . .what a stupid angle.

just awful. botches all over, including production. pacing of the show sucked with all the clips.

 

miz better get punished for his two botches. likely cost truth his PPV payday and possibly mania as well if its a bad enough concussion. just totally pussed out when it was time to catch him on the floor.

Other then the Jericho/Punk stuff, nothing was watchable. Diva's match was a waste of time. Bryan/Big Show is going no where. Tag Match Khali is just awful. They have been building Clay up every week and didn't have him on. Swagger wins the US Title a few weeks ago and no Swagger tonight. There is more then 3 matches for Mania I hope cuz its not looking like it.

Yep, the Jericho/Punk stuff was pure gold. The rest of the show was pure garbage. That's about all there is to it. Thought it was incredibly random to just throw Kane on there for the last minute too. Way to many video packages and recaps, and recaps of the video packages. Very bad show. Also, that was really weak on Miz's part to wuss out and not catch Truth on that dive. He could've been seriously injured on that, but luckily he wasn't.

I hope Jericho winning was with an eye toward having he and Punk not fight much in the Chamber match. Minimal physical interaction between the two prior to Mania is necessary. It's just incredibly irritating when you have jobbers like Miz and Kofi (and Truth before he got hurt) in that match last night and have Ziggler eat the pin. Jericho doesn't really need a win. He's Jericho.

pretty predictable but Laurenitis was not fired this morning.

 

Overall I thought Raw was pretty bad too. Would have like to see Brodus clay fight someone (also would like him to go against a non-Superstars quality opponent) instead of all of the videos.

Apparently HHH was furious, and screamed at the Miz in front of the whole locker room after this match for a lengthy period of time. Miz is certainly earning himself a lot of heat recently. Apparently he wasn't in the right spot, not that he just decided not to catch him. Still an inexcusable error that could've caused Truth to be severely injured.

I pretty much agree with everything said about RAW. I felt like I was watching Smackdown last night with all of the Smackdown guys being on. The only other terrible time filler they could have provided was a Santino Marella match.

 

The Divas match was a complete throw away trying to build up Tamina.

 

They could've had Brodus squash Otunga instead of Sheamus. It's not like Sheamus squashing Otunga does anything for anyone.

 

I love how they try to give Khali credibility by having him pin Rhodes, only to get RKO'ed by Orton. Sigh.

I also noticed that shot. Particularly the girl on the right holding her face. And it is hilarious that the whole section had as much enthusiasm as if they were waitingfor a bus.

 

I did like how Tamina cocked her head like Superfly when she took off from the top rope, but she brings very little to the show besides that.

 

The modern Divas are beautiful but I miss the Trish & Lita & Mickie & Molly & Jazz days. At least they could carry a match & storyline.

Exactly. The Divas nowadays are a disgrace compared to those divas. None of them light a candle to Trish and Lita, or really any of those divas you mentioned. The only two who come close are Beth and Natalya. Problem is that there's no one adequate enough for either of them to feud with to find out how good they actually could be.

To be fair, they were just waking up from the nap that HHH gave them. And what seemed like the 20th Daniel Bryan/Big Show match of the past month.

 

As far as there being good Divas feuds, I do have high hopes for Beth and Kharma. That's the only one, though.
