Wasn't the WWF at the peak of "Hulkamania" PG?

Alot more Starpower, originality and charisma back then nothing booking could do at this point can change that fact.

All WWE has right now is Brock & Seth Rollins plus Rock when he shows up.

It's only the neckbeards that continue to talk about Chris Benoit... Haven't you moved on yet?

Benoit's death basically killed the Ruthless Aggression era which gave us the best in ring action the WWE has ever seen. As far as wrestling being dead I just blame those who think wrestling can only be seen on USA and SyFy. Somebody needs to wisen up and get ROH a major tv deal.

The overall audience of pro wrestling is a FRACTION of what it was a decade ago

The WWE has just found ways to make money with video games, movies, hours upon hours of programming, toys, merchandise......


To act like the business isn't in trouble is a lie. Most of the audience left are neckbeard smarks who will watch no matter what

Or is it that the business was dead, as evidenced by the fact that it lacked the support system for a guy to kill his wife? The same goes for the NFL with its quack doctors and garbage politician administrators leading to too many suicides, brehs

We live in Gladiator times, 100 years from now we'll look very barbaric with the way we treated the human brain in sports

Then why is Wrestlemania doing far bigger numbers than 10 years ago?

The Network model? Were there free previews during WM month this year and last?

I don't even know. Weird topic to debate, I think everyone will agree that Chris Benoit's actions set the wrestling industry back a lot. I don't think it's been "killed". If it was a dead industry, wrestling wouldn't be on the air during primetime for 3 hours to sell more ads and sponsorships

Wrestling's mainstream viability was long gone before Benoit though. The worst thing Vince ever did was buying WCW. I remember as a kid everyone thought the big stars were coming and then we got a horrible Invasion angle with Booker T, DDP and a bunch of scrubs vs WWF for like 8 months. I don't remember anybody openly talking about wrestling after that

when do you think WWE was good then :patrice:
They've had their moments, once Austin & Rock stepped down in 03 the quality went down tremendously to me mainly cause of HHH & his constant shovel work.

Picked up again around 05 when Batista, Cena, & Orton came up. Then Angle, Christian, & Jericho all left at the same time :young:
