Crimson Platypus Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 I would love to see all the "past their prime" wrestlers retire and allow the young guys with potential get the push they deserve. So my question is this, what would you like to see the rosters be if you had your choice of who stayed and who went. By the way, I saw TNA last night for the first time ever, and I have to say that AJ Styles is freaking awesome. Vinnie Mac should grab him asap.
Guest OnlyMe Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 I'd give both brands their own identity, sort of what's going on now, but much more defined: Raw can have the hosses, and the HHH / Nash / Undertakers of the WWE. Also give it the women's division. Smackdown can have the "workrate" wrestlers - Angle / Benoit / Jericho, as well as the CW division. This is probably one of the biggest problems with the roster split, to be honest. By having proper separation, you have a better idea of what people like.
Guest Trivia247 Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Its a relatively new thing the Heartless demand to AX wrestlers whom are past 25. as soon as someone misses a spot they need to get fired ehhhhhhh? or not 25? how about 30 or 35.. before this generation wrestlers wrestled for decades doing the same thing every night, and even got the crowds to pop or to boo. people should work till they are unable to work or choose not to.
Crimson Platypus Posted June 5, 2003 Author Report Posted June 5, 2003 I'm talking the Hogan, UT, Flair, Nash set that are simply too old. (I am not really a HHHater myself)
Guest Trivia247 Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 I'm talking the Hogan, UT, Flair, Nash set that are simply too old. (I am not really a HHHater myself) As Long As Abdullah the Butcher still wanders the World Impaling people with Forks and Squashing them at 70 Taker, Hogan, Flair, Nash ain't old... if their bodies gets broken up to badly then they retire or if they choose not to do it they retire but lets not start forcing people out simply because they gone beyond the wrestling fan age insurance warrantee. Abby is a 70 year old Planetoid! Who is in worse shape than him and still is out there man? and the four you name at least keep themselves in shape.

Stop using the "Scott Keith wrestling terminology book of no-nothingness"

Murmuring Beast Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Not really. Anyone 225 pounds and under is high work-rate to most of you people even though some are as bad as 300 pounders.

It takes him as long to fall down from a clothesline as it does for Nash to wander down to the ring. When people bodyslam Hogan they don't drop him, they set him down. Taker has never been an aerial (sp?) wrestler, but nowadays he might as well grow roots (minus that rediculous walk the ropes move, I never understood why his opponent doesn't just walk backwards).
Guest OnlyMe Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Anyone 225 pounds and under is high work-rate to most of you people even though some are as bad as 300 pounders. Could you generalise a bit more, please?
Guest Rob Edwards Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Not really. Anyone 225 pounds and under is high work-rate to most of you people even though some are as bad as 300 pounders. Brock's workrate is much higher than Kidman's That do?

Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Hogan has value as a part-time entertainer and special attraction. He should only wrestle once every couple of months, but if you keep in it in the 5 minute range he can be usefull. Taker can still go, but he gets hurt a lot these days. He shouldn't be main-eventing, but he's okay. Mark Henry is glad that Nash is around becuase he is no longer that worst wrestler in the company. Nash should be fired immediately. Flair is still over, but he just looks too old to continue wrestling outside of the south east. His future is in managing.
Mecha Mummy Posted June 5, 2003 Report Posted June 5, 2003 Not really. Anyone 225 pounds and under is high work-rate to most of you people even though some are as bad as 300 pounders. Hmm. I never see much praise for Spike Dudley, myself.

Abbdulah the Butcher doesn't work for the largest and most accesible wrestling company in North America. People do not see him on a regular basis and make their judgement of professional wrestling based on this guy. When people turn on WWE and still see Hogan, they'll think wrestling is stuck in 1980 and for the most part they'd be correct. And don't tell me that Nash Undertaker and Hogan can go. They can't, and it's embarrassing to the WWE if you ask me.
