Honestly marra I sound like a broken record at this pointROH show from Friday night, seek it out if you can.
Marra it’s more just wwe has changed ( obviously gotten worse) there is plenty of great wrestling out there AEW, NJPW, Stardom, Impact, all the indies etc) the problem is wwe don’t care about pro wrestling it’s more entertainment and a spectacle to them imo.Haven’t watched a WM since 20 but thought I’d give it a go this year.
Fuck me wrestling has changed. Just the quality of it.
I’ve been watched all the old ppv’s on the network from the 90’s and early 2000’s. Nowadays , Everything is much slower, much more clumsy and cumbersome.
I know he was a piece of shit but long gone are the days of Benoit etc, such clean, quick and technical wrestling. Everything was crisp. The bumps much better.
Is the talent just not as good as it once was?
Very nostalgic watching Austin but was moving in treacle man.
Honestly I said on here I didn’t like the idea of him having a match when it was rumoured he was coming back for the show, I thought having his career end against the rock was perfect albeit we didn’t know that was the end at the time, same with Foley ‘retiring’ after the HHH feud, then coming back about 20 times.Wonder how much Austin got paid for that
They’re obviously still selling tickets and that but the spectacle was absolutely shocking mind. The quality of matches lifting,
Watched WM17 the other day, compare that to this and it’s literally night and day.
Absolutely everything you just said, it was a thing of beauty.Honestly marra I sound like a broken record at this pointbut the Briscoes and FTR was absolutely the best match of the year so far and the entire show was quality.
It's just been diluted over the years. Late 90s/early 00s still mostly trained by the old lot who looked after the business and actually wrestled. They'd go through months of just being stretched before they were even taught how to do a headlock.Haven’t watched a WM since 20 but thought I’d give it a go this year.

Tbf the rock will always be his last proper match..lot like Takers last proper Wrestlemania match is reigns not the squash v cena.Honestly I said on here I didn’t like the idea of him having a match when it was rumoured he was coming back for the show, I thought having his career end against the rock was perfect albeit we didn’t know that was the end at the time, same with Foley ‘retiring’ after the HHH feud, then coming back about 20 times.
I’m sure he made a good few million thoughwhich I guess is good for himself it was entertaining I just hope he’s done now and doesn’t come back for Saudi shows (ie money)
@Ceverton is a miss on here, think my only interactions with the lad were on this thread. Cracking fella.Dallas cheerleaders, Charlotte popping out twice, only thing missing from @Ceverton fantasy would have been Alexa Bliss.
Really miss you big guy, especially for weekends like this.
Enjoyed the 1st night, must be honest that i didnt think lynch v belair was as good as people are making out, thought it was very sloppy and Lynchs timing was just off throughout...just ask Belairs nose.
Austin must have got a fortune, but fair play, very safe match barring 1 concrete bump but hugely fun and memorable.
Rhodes v Rollins match of the night. They better not screw Cody over again.
Flair v rousey was good but should have been a submission match given thats all they seemed to go for.
Tbf the rock will always be his last proper match..lot like Takers last proper Wrestlemania match is reigns not the squash v cena.
Hope he stays retired now 1st and last match in Dallas, dont do a Michaels and come back down the line even though physically he looked good last night.
Aye on tonight as wellIs it on over 2 nights or sumit?
Why do they do that?Aye on tonight as well
Probably just the extra money from ticket sales as they could easily have done this show on one night.Why do they do that?
Why do they do that?
End the brand split , 1 world champion, 1 womens champion, ic title and the us, scrap the rest, sack Bruce Pritchard and have Vince retire with hhh taking over and then maybes we can have a good show.More shite resulting from the brand split.
Add in the increased importance of the women's division (which unlike the brand split I actually like) and there is more than a full night's worth just to do the title matches.
But spreading it over two nights just dilutes the quality, and its not as if they have a stacked roster to start with.
Splitting the brands and having most of the titles replicated in the women's division means they've nearly quadrupled the number of titles from back in the day, such that they are pretty meaningless. Yet you have to have most of the titles defended on a PPV.
I only watch it on and off now and haven't watched it at all really for months. Looking at the card beforehand then other than looking forward to seeing Stone Cold, the only matched I had much interest in over the entire card were Lesnar/Reigns, Becky/Bianca and Charlotte/Ronda.
I don't know how they go about bringing back the excitement, but for me having one champion has got to be part of it, and hopefully that's where they might be headed with the champion v champion match.
