COMMENCE WRESTLING RANT!!  GO!


How many of you guys were watching Monday night?

So they're trying to do it again~   TNA wants to re-ignite the age old MONDAY NIGHT WARS againts the WWE.   Seems rather fitting since TNA resembles WCW to an alarming degree..

I have always been on the WWE team, at least for the most part.  Back during the ORIGINAL war with wcw it was the cool badass edgy show that you couldnt help but love.  I was also a huge WCW fan,  but i was a mark for the names, and it was the cruiserweight action that I loved most.  (sound familiar X-Division?)  It wasnt until the old ECW came around that I found a TRULY superior product, but that's beside the point.

in the mid 2000's WWE got so stale, that we all tried to find an alternative.  I watched alot of TNA, ROH, and NJPW during this time,   but TNA always had a problem
it was boring!   they had an entertaining X division in the middle of a show of semi retired rejects.   fast forward to 2010

TNA wants a war
BUUUT theyre still boring..  and watching the nWo in their walkers and wheelchairs was actually far more depressing than entertaining..  It seems like they dont want to prove that TNA is superior, i think they want to be WCW!
Vince and the WWF used to joke that WCW was the 'wrestling retirement home' and that was 15 years ago!  Look at TNA now..
did anyone else find that funny watching Hogan Hall and Nash on Impact?
and somebody PLEASE tell me why X-pac things he belongs in the ring with these aging legends!?

WWE RAW featured an aging legend of it's own
the return of Bret The Hitman Hart!   never say never, right?
I noticed something comparing the 2 big name returns monday night..
Hogan was greeted warmly, but i definately got the feeling alot of the TNA faithful doesnt want him there..  and his nWo re-hash theme song just made me laugh..
..and Bret was welcomed back with open arms by fans who were legitimately happy to see him again, and care about him!   It was a marvelous moment,  just hearing that theme song and seeing him walk the aisle to that huge pop gave me goosebumps!

Hogan and the nWo made me depressed and think about how sad it is how everyone gets old and thats life and that sucks..
Bret made me feel like a young fan again!  there was something magic about his return, and something tired about Hogans..

I've tried to be a TNA fan but i just can't do it.  They're not doing anything revolutionary, but seem to think they are.  And keep telling us how fresh and exciting they are.   They dont go 5 minutes without saying that TNA is gonna be number 1 and how they are the best sports entertainment show on earth.

I think they believe if they keep saying it, we will eventually beleive it!!  haha,  doesnt make it true~~

Also i think Jeff Hardy made a retarded move, he took a step BACKWARD there, and Ric Flair?  he just had a big emotional retirement, and ruined it~  X-pac is just kinda pathetic, and the Nasty Boys? who cares!

I've given TNA too many chances to win me over,  they really failed again.
I am however genuinely excited to watch RAW next week~~

Conclusion:  Competition is healthy. But this isn't gonna cut it.

Thats my two cents!   GO GET EM, HITMAN!

plz discuss!

Raw seems to be the only one left that is really any good that I know of. I do not really watch Smack Down so cannot speak for it.

I don't really watch TNA, though I do watch the matches and this and that when they're put up on YouTube. I watched TNA for a total of a month following when Mick Foley got there, not consecutively, though. I knew Hogan was with them now, and I'd heard that since he can't compete in WWE anymore, Flair is desparate and will work with anybody, competing or not, so long as it's paid. And NWO again? Really? Scott Hall is what? 400 lbs overweight? 300? Do they really think he could get over in this state? They're sorely mistaken if they do. ... Unless he loses the weight, but I don't see that happening.

And as far as Jeff goes, I really don't care. I like him and all, but whatever. They misused him in TNA before, they'll misuse him now, but if this is what he wants, then who are we to tell him where he should wrestle? It's a fact he was on the top in WWE, a genuine contender when he wasn't a champion and worthy of holding it when he was, and he was marginally more popular in WWE when he left than he ever was in TNA before, but if he wants to be TNA talent, then Jeff Hardy will be TNA talent, backwards step, but there it is.

No, I personally hope they genuinely bring Bret back somehow. Get rid of Jerry Lawler (the way he goes on about the women is UNBEARABLE! I know they're attractive, but God...) and bring him back as a commentator. I mean, the days of face and heel commentator are over for the most part (Go Matt Stryker for doing his part to keep them alive), so what's it matter if it's some old fossil who keeps getting into fights he never wins and drools over girls a fraction of his age or Bret "The Hitman" Hart if they're saying the same things? I mean, after what happened at the end of the show, Vince kicking him in the gut, that cannot possibly be all there is to it if they know what's good for the show. I'd watch Raw with renewed faith if they brought Bret back as a competitor. Fat chance, but the way Raw ended this past week, a chance is still a chance.

No, if there's a new Monday Night War, it won't make a lick of difference. Vince has the money, and when he needs to pull out the stops to make sure he'll win again, he will. And even if there were and Vince were to somehow lose, WWE's too popular to go away. If Vince were to lose the second Monday Night War, it'd probably serve as a wake up call to diminish the creative team's power and within reason let things just happen, like they used to. Both promotions have their ups and downs, and if there were a new Monday Night War, maybe both shows improve a bit for a time during the escalation, the actual thing, and the aftermath, but it'll only be a matter of time before they go back to the way they were before.

Let's face it folks: Televised pro wrestling in America has changed since the original Monday Night War and the damage is so severe, nothing short of a freaking miracle can save it.

very good points!
I'm interested to see what Bret does next
he signed a 4 month contract, keeping him involved until April
he has an updated Theme Song and new T shirt~

So it looks like it wasn't just a 'one shot'

If Vince hadn't said just tonight that Bret would never again be seen in the WWE... How's that for a four month contract? Makes me wonder, though. Why would they update his theme and give him new merch if the boss was just going to take that all away in one fell swoop. Vince is planning something, but those two hate each other with a passion, so I wouldn't be surprised to find that Vince was telling the honest to goodness truth earlier tonight. He does run the show, after all...
