Things that are getting old..

Recommended Posts

Guest

-The word "rocketbuster"

-Christian STILL throwing temper tantrums

-Albert STILL wrestling in speedos and w/o a shirt

-The phrases "goofier than a pet coon", "slobberknocker", "business is about to pick up", "restaurant quality", "booger red", "scintillating" or any other shitty piece of hyperbole from JR.

-Jerry Lawler, period. I can't believe people had actually signed petitions to bring this shreeking pedophile back on air..

-The ever-hypocritical and very selective "weight issues" dilemma - but it's okay for Mark Henry to gain 50lbs in order to win some meaningless Strongman competition.

-The fact that they only have ONE cruiserweight match a week. Way to push the division.

-Oh, and of course. The two Triple H's. Hollywood & Hunter.

Ah, crap. So much for paying attention to things.. Can a mod please move this to the WWE folder? I left my computer and I didn't realize that I was still in Video Games when I came back to post... *g*

Hogan's nostalgia run

 

HHH as a face and a constant title contender

 

nWo as a viable force

 

Old wrestlers who "think" they can make a comeback (no hints needed, I'm sure)

 

Vince's on-air mid-life crisis

 

Having two face announcers on RAW and Smackdown

 

Da Split

 

Constant pushes for guys who will "never" get over (Bradshaw, Mark Henry)

 

Pointless T&A segments

 

The Hardcore division

 

No tag team division

 

Whiny bitchy smarks who complain on forums and... oh wait... damn.

 

;)

wwf doing the split to push new talent and then pushing the wrong guys(for reference see bradshaw, mark henry, bob holly)

 

D'lo not being on raw

 

cruiserweights having to work the "wwf style"

 

wrestlers not being able to do piledrivers or any moves that involve the neck basically

The sterotypical "good guys" and "bad guys" on TV every week.

 

Unrealistic gimmicks.

The same six or so people getting pushed 24/7 and no one else getting a chance.

 

Paul Heyman, god he's annoying.

Hey, Paul is cool! I'd rather him on commentary than Jerry Lawler.

The WWE.

 

No, not the name, the WWE itself.

 

Lately, I watch RAW (I now tape it, I never watch it live anymore) and that is about it. I tape Velocity & Confidential, and I don't get Smackdown.

 

I just ordered Super J Cup 1994 off of Ebay, so I can watch that when it shows up, other than that I have been watching some old Wrestlemania's & some ECW PPV's from 1999-2000.

 

I get tired of waiting for people to retire. I get tired of waiting for the right people to advance up the ladder.

 

I'm looking forward to the NWA, at least it will be something different. Plus, the just got Corino. :)

-Jim Ross' pseudo-intellectual Ross Reports where he makes all his little covert quips at certain wrestlers, while trying to make it seem like constructive criticism. "Remember D'Lo Brown?" What the FUCK is THAT supposed to mean?

-The seven-million pop-ups per page on WWE.com. I mean, come on. This is a billion dollar company, and they need banner ads AND pop-up ads?

-Vince McMahon - the letch. Someone mentioned it already. But really, how is this supposed to be compelling television? How many fifty-something billionaires watch the show to live vicariously through Vince McMahon ...? Something tells me, not too many.

-Michael Cole saying he is 'impressed' with wrestlers.  Jesus fucking Christ, you have no credibility Cole, no one gives a rats ass who you like or don't like or who you think has talent.

 

-I am sick of surprises.  I am sick of screw jobs.  I am sick of fuzzy booking.  I am sick of having my intelligence insulted by the Wwf.

 

-I am sick of 'Wwf boys'.  Rikishi sucks. Holly sucks. Val sucks. Gunn sucks. Test sucks. Taker sucks. Mark Henry sucks.  Bradshaw sucks.  Faarooq sucks. I don't care if you are good, I don't even care if I like you (sorry bob and val), you are Wwf boys and have been shoved down our throats too much.

 

-I am sick of the disorganization that is the Wwf

 

-I am sick of Attitude, I am sick of Sports Entertainment, I am sick of the evil boss, I am sick of the rebelleous employee, I am sick of seeing the exact same storyline being cut and pasted before my very eyes.

 

-I am sick of the Wwf being pussies.

 

-I am sick of false changes.

 

-I am sick seeing the cruiserweights being pushed in storylines that will never get the division over.

 

-I am sick of Mcmahon revisionist history, I am sick of his style, I am sick of his ignorance.

You guys have pretty much named many of the things...

 

I'm sick of the WWE not willingly to take a chance.  They did with Austin... and why try to make a NEW star?  Where will the your other "stars" be in the next 5 years?  They need to take chance and build a new star... and soon.

Getting Old:

Hardcore matches that are nowhere near exciting due to well.. it being not hardcore.

Old Fucking Farts that can still whip on younger guys regardless of not having any kneecaps, having arms tied behind the back and being teamed on by 3.

Backstage footage shot as if the camera were not there.

Catchphrases that the announcers use which are for their use only.. (it is okay when they OCCASSIONALLY throw out a wrestlers phrase or make fun of it.)

Punch. Kick. Punch. Kick. Punch. Kick. Punch. Finisher. Pin.

 

Things I Could Get Used To:

No Steph.

Style.

potty/"gross-out" humor that most find stupid and degardes the frail reality in wrestling

 

handicap matches

 

the moments ago features (could they look and see that they are getting zilch channel flippers and just tuning people out waiting for the next segment)

 

numbing the injury angles

 

Vince and ____ (insert young hot woman's name here)

 

mentioning the HHH-Steph divorce (either leave her on tv or stop talking about it, because by nature it cant lead to anything)

 

"latino Heat" (as ive mentioned before i love eddie's work and his character....when hes not doing this ridiculous version of it. The man can talk so why does he need to be stuck with this?)

 

the NWO still adding members (whats it like 112 now?)

 

the 24/7 rule

 

the biggest one:

the loss of any sembelence of internal logic

I'm sick of everything mentioned here. I'm sick of mentioning what I'm sick of. I'm also sick of HBK in the nWo. Why would he go NWO? Sure he's friends with the Kliq, but wouldn't it make more sense (storyline wise) for him to HATE the nWo... they deserted him, went to WCW, made a ton of money, and took viewers away from him when HE was carrying the ball for the WWF... then he could fight AGAINST the NWO... thus making him happy backstage (gets to work with his friends) and making sense to most of the casual viewers from a story / logic perspective... hell even show old WCW footage of Bischoff saying "the little guy beat the big guy with three superkicks " if you hafto.

 

Oh wait... this the NEW, Improved WWE. Who needs logic when you just get a regular parade of nonsense thrown out there nightly. SMELL THE RATINGS!

- Vince, Flair....any owner fued/angle/story

 

- People kicking out of finishers on a regular basis

 

- Racist gimmicks

 

- JR saying the word "Scalded dog" for every single match.

 

- Lack of crusiers

 

- Vince using nu metal bands to cover songs so they can sell.

 

- The Euro belt (c'mon, we all know it means shit all)

 

- The 24/7 rule

 

- People using other peoples finishers (its good for a huge main event fued, but it sucks right now)

-Quick turns with paper-thin explanations or none at all. Wasn't Hardcore Holly playing Randy Orton's heel nemesis a few weeks ago? Now, last night, Hardcore could do no wrong in Cole's eyes.

 

Lame.

How has that grown old?  You hardly see him on tv any more.  Besides, you should be used to seeing Albert half nekkid by now.

-Sick of the HHHaters here bashing him constantly and generally making all of his flaws out to be much greater than they actually are.

 

-Sick of Hogan on my TV screen every Thursday night.

 

-Sick of Angle and Jericho being treated like mid-carders.

 

-Sick of WWE refusing to use their WCW video library to any great use (The nWo DVD is the first time I've seen it put to much use, how much longer will we have to wait for another one? Very fucking long, I'd say).

 

-Sick of wrestlers' shoving organized religion down our throats in interviews (yes, Shawn, I'm looking at you).

 

-Sick of WWE trying to push the "Fear Factor era" on us with shit like Dreamer's puke-antics and Austin pissing on Anderson. Why can't you just, I don't know, WRESTLE and let the new era find itself, instead of forcing this twisted parody of the Attitude era on us!

I'm sick of Triple H and Austin.

 

But the thing i'm really sick of is the crappy 'WWF' main event style.

FUCKING BORING.

How many paint by numbers matches can they feed us?

As great as they once were, I guess we have Bret and Austin to thank for that match at WM13.

Great match it was, but not if we see a poor replication of it every week.

 

Dammit, a big prick HBK was, but he damn sure made Main Events fun to watch.

My eyes will never heal from such an atrocity! ;p

 

Personally, I think Albert should have stuck to the muscle-t + leather pants. Looked more bad ass than what he wears now.

Honestly, I don't even watch that Thursday shit anymore.  I'm just too sick of it to stomach.  I watch Raw for Benoit and Eddy, but that's it.  But it's okay, at least I have my All Japan Women, so all is not lost in wrestling. ;)

I'm tired of the following things:

-Lawler and his "puppies" catchphrase(hey PeteOphile 1999 called and they want their "puppies" back)

-JR non-selling RVD's matches like he should.

-The European and Hardcore titles.

-Edge's boring ass push.

-Y2J and Angle being stuck in midcard hell.

-HGH boring ass promos. Even Benoit cuts more intense promos than the Lame.

-Dreamer and AA being ridiculed on live TV.

-Taker's refusal of putting younger guys over.

-Hogan
