I can’t say that I’m too interested in the WWE’s current product.

No, not really.
It was for me, I was in probably 6th grade when it was first released and I was geeking out over it. Since I started training in martial arts though, I lost interest in fake fights, UFC is the way to go.

WWE blows chunks.
The golden era and the attitude era (basically the 80’s and 90’s and first couple years of 2000) back when WWE was the WWF was when it was entertaining and awesome.
Then when WWF became WWE it started a downhill trajectory, and the advent of the pg era and the current decade inaugurated the “blows chunks era.”

I’ve never bought it.
Honestly when that whole thing a decade ago with McMahon challenging “God” and some blasphemic storylines and skits around that time - that was a little too much for me.

The WWE is a bit phony baloney nowadays.
I was a big fan when I was a kid in the 1960’s, we got our dad to take up down to the Civic Arena to watch Bruno Sammartino defend his title.
Bruno didn’t do all this crazy stuff they do nowadays, wrestled using his real name, and stuck by the code insisting it was totally legit. Yet he still sold our arenas all over and did very well for himself.

Sure that was in Pittsburgh- the Undertaker threw him off the top of the cage and through an announce table, and then Foley climbed back up and the Dead Man threw him through the cage. One of the great moments in Sports Entertainment.

Wasn’t pro wrestling always phony baloney?The WWE is a bit phony baloney nowadays.
I think Thursday night was wrestling night on TV back then… Bruno Sammartino, Gorilla Monsoon, the Fabulous Moolah…my two older brothers were a tag team against me as they threw me all over the place lol.I was a big fan when I was a kid in the 1960’s, we got our dad to take up down to the Civic Arena to watch Bruno Sammartino defend his title.
Boxing was Friday nights and Hockey on Saturday nights…hockey had more fights than boxing and wrestling combined lol

the WWE was good when it was the WWF, but it jumped the shark around the time Sgt. Slaughter decided he was supporting Saddam Hussein…
The WCW had quality product for longer, but it went downhill. Now it is all WWE and completely different from what I watched when I was a kid. It is now on at night and geared toward older people rather than kids…it is weird.

First, it was always phony. Choreographed. The winner predetermined, even with Mick Foley, Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, the Rock, Ric Flair.
It’s still phony, but so are movies, TV shows, plays, even operas. That stuff doesn’t really happen.
WWE is okay if you like wrestling entertainment. It’s not WWE’s “Golden Age,” but it’s not Hollywood’s “Golden Age,” either.
I like some of the PPVs, but the weekly shows can get a bit boring. They also start stories, feuds, then just drop them, sometimes due to injuries.
It’s okay. For wrestling entertainment aficionados, it’s a must.
UFC is great, but it’s something else entirely.

Augustinian, you may or may not be aware of the fact that Bruno Sammartino, God rest his soul, declined to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for years. Bruno complained about things like rampant use of anabolic steroids.I was a big fan when I was a kid in the 1960’s, we got our dad to take up down to the Civic Arena to watch Bruno Sammartino defend his title.

It wasn’t just the steroids that offended Sammartino but also some of the less family friendly story lines they had in the WWE- although Bruno did make up with the McMahons.Bruno complained about things like rampant use of anabolic steroids.

Some of them are so huge, I think they’re probably still on steroids even though the WWE instituted a strict policy against their use, and suspension if one does use them. But people just don’t get as huge as some of them no matter how much they exercise.Augustinian, you may or may not be aware of the fact that Bruno Sammartino, God rest his soul, declined to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame for years.
