PWD 161: Is WWE/Wrestling dying?

[BotchMan]

I just reached adulthood, I feel like I'm at an old folks home.

 

[Diablo Ryu**]

Miz is not hot hes a bunch of names that id get banned for.
Hes not a champion, he has a a feminine voice. I hate him.

 

[The Diplomat]

You're old the second you stop understanding 'the current generation'



25

That happened to me awhile back, and I'm 26. I thought I was keeping up with the times with Myspace in 06, then Facebook. But once Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter, hashtags etc popped up, I was annoyed. Almost all of the sites do the same thing.

Dub step, new hip hop, EDM, etc. are all garbage. Rock and roll is dead.


Then again, I grew up listening to 60s/70s rock and watched Taxi and I Love Lucy.

He was the Marine, damn it!

Got a 6+ month reign as champion and beat Cena in the main event of WM...

David Arquette main evented a pay per view and was WCW champion. Doesn't make him a regular Buddy Rogers or anything.

Speaking of old titles, look who's the NWA junior heavyweight champion:

Dang, you had me thinking Ricky Morton had won the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship again. According to Hisa's site Chase Stevens still has it, so that pic must be from back in January-March when Ricky did hold it.

Damn...you were old then

I was agreeing with him. It's a damn shame that someone like the Miz got a 6+ month reign and main-evented WM.

Yeah but it wasn't WrestleMania tho. Alot of guys quit WWE because they couldn't Main Event Mania.

I didn't know that was an older pic.
Rob Conway is also NWA champion again.

I loved Nick at Nite and TV Land. Munsters, Happy Days, Taxi, Newhart and the Bob Newhart Show, etc are all my shit. Yeah, I watched the damned Power Rangers and Karate Kid aswell, but I've always enjoyed older shows and music since about age 4.

That includes watching old school wrestling, as well.

 

[TheStruggle]

Nick at Nite and TV Land bored the living fuck outta me back in the day.

 

[Pliny Pete]

Or when NFL/NBA rookies are younger than you.

Wait til retiring players are younger than you
Thats when it really starts getting depressing

Speaking of old titles, look who's the NWA junior heavyweight champion:

Thats a good looking belt though

 

[DannyBoy1985]

Rob Conway is also NWA champion again.

Yeah, Conway regained it at the annual CAC Reunion show I believe. I'd rather Satoshi Kojima have kept it longer, but it is what it is.

 

[Jobber]

Or when NFL/NBA rookies are younger than you.

that's when you realize you will never be a pro athlete
sad times

Yeah, I grew up watching a lot of Nick at Nite and TV Land as well.

 

[Max Power]

Good segment from a SmackDown from a few years back between two of my favorite wrestlers. Led to an entertaining tv match.

 

[44nutman]

Speaking of old titles, look who's the NWA junior heavyweight champion:

I bet I know how the match went.
Ricky sold his ass off for 10 minutes, taking a beating and looked like he was damn near dead. Then he mounted a huge comeback and won.

Thats when it really starts getting depressing

Thanks for reminding me.
