Guest DKnez Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 I have been getting so sick of the WWE and how they're booking that I have been watching older tapes recently to watch something different so I woln't get so sick of the same old boring WWE. Yesterday I just watched ECW Deep Impact and Barely Legal and it was a breath of fresh air. Has anyone else done that?
Guest HartFan86 Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 Yup, lately I have just been watching everything Pre 2002 in the wrestling world that I have on VHS/DVD.
Guest DKnez Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 I just got done watching Slamboree 94, which was awesome.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 yeah. I usually watch somethin from 98 WWF. The actual wrestling wasn't as good but some of the stuff with Austin/McMahon/Dude Love was gold. Either that, or just watch some puroresu.
Guest kingkamala Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 For the past month whenever I've rented an WCW tape or a WWF tape pre 2002 I feel like getting a nice breath of fresh air after being trapped in a smelly outhouse it's really that desperate.
Guest Austin3164life Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 I've been watching random great matches from the past 5 years or so. Last night I watched Austin vs. Angle at Summerslam, and then I watched Shawn Michaels vs. Mankind from Mind Games. Seeing matches like these keep me wondering how the WWE screwed this year up so far. That is all.
Guest The Superstar Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 I just watched the last two matches of Fully Loaded 2000...*sigh*. Seeing Triple H at his best, going ***** with Chris Jericho in their last man standing match, and the near-perfect Rock/Benoit title match, which was ****3/4 by my counts. Oh, how I long for those days.
Guest Singular Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 I've been watching my history of the WCW cruiser title tapes. Rey Jr. and Dean Malenko really had some awesome matches in 96 and 97. It's also kinda odd seeing Eddy Guererro at about half the mass he's at today.
Guest razazteca Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 well there is a channel on the weekend that I watch and I also have several WCW videos that I bought on clearance from Blockbluster also I some ECW, Pride, UFC DVDs. WWE is not the center of the Wrestling world to me.
Guest myburninghammer Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 American Idol, dog. It's intentionally terrible yet sort of brilliant, which is exactly the opposite of the WWE these days
Guest Dangerous A Posted July 12, 2002 Report Posted July 12, 2002 I was starting to want an alternative last summer and discovered the wonderful world of puroresu. It has now become an expensive habit, but it's damn good shit. I also go back and watch old WCW and ECW tapes to get a breath of something different.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 WWF Judgment Day 2000 HHH vs. Rock in an Iron Man Benoit vs. Jericho in a submission only Eddy vs. Saturn vs. Malenko in a three way Rikishi & Too Cool vs. Angle, E & C
Guest AM The Kid Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 I watched the Austin WHAT? Dvd for the first hour of RAW. First time I've ever chosen not to watch RAW.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 You know, I have never felt the inclination to not watch live wrestling on TV, but lately I'm becoming disinterested in it as well and have been looking at getting tapes and DVD's. How could such a talented roster be such a piece of crap?
Guest MrRant Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 I always watch RAW but Smackdown seems to be forgetful unless I hear about something kick ass. I will definetly tune in for Mysterio's debut though.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 Only 2 weeks away!!!! They probably shouldn't have announced that as now we're going to see the ratings spike or drop for it... Sigh... Hey whatever happened to that 2.0 something rating that WCW had? Shouldn't that have been absorbed by the WWF?
Guest MrRant Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 A lot of those fans left. I know plenty that were WCW fans and not WWE fans. Their company died and WWE killed it with the Invasion.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 Everyone go watch NWA TNA instead.
Guest papacita Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 I'm pretty sick of the WWE, but then again, they've been on my bad side on and off since the Raw following the debut SmackDown. I couldn't give a damn about WCW, but I REALLY miss ECW. Even in their dark days, they were 10 times more entertaining than half the crap WWE's putting out right now. And I've never been to an ECW Arena show! I wish they would come back for one last show.

And I've never been to an ECW Arena show! I wish they would come back for one last show. More agreeable words have never been spoken. I almost wish that ECW wouldn't just come back for one show, but for good. In my EWR game, I recreated ECW and WCW, with all the old rosters in place. Austin was unhappy and unmotivated and jumped to WCW, and Jericho didn't resign with the WWF instead opting to sign with ECW. Needless to say the competition is extremely fierce, as the WWF is left with only The Rock, Angle, HHH, Taker... OK, nevermind. But ECW's got RVD!!! YAY!
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 I made ECW too. I had a tough time deciding whether guys like Austin, Benoit, Eddy, Malenko and Jericho should be on the roster...since they all DID wrestle there. In the end I decided to leave them off. I did take Misterio and the other lucha guys back though.
Guest Vitamin X Posted July 13, 2002 Report Posted July 13, 2002 My ECW and WCW rosters were made up of people I distinctly thought of as "WCW guys" or "ECW guys".. Like people who got over best in that particular promotion, not the promotion they last wrestled in. So I had Benoit, Steiner, and contemplated Jericho going to WCW (but kept him in WWF as a face, sinceI think he was more over as a face in WeeWee than as a heel in WCW though that is a clsoe call), and I kept RVD, Lance Storm, Rhyno in ECW.
