The Big WWE Wrestling Thread

NotAGolf · 12 Apr 2008 at 19:05

Just watched it. thought it was good but not great. Triple threat was a bit of a disappointment.

On a side note. Is there a website or somewhere I can find out about how the wwe works backstage wise. Things like; how much of the match is scripted, how the shows work, techniques to stop getting hurt, who comes up with the scripts. Things like that. Not spoilers of future shows though. Ta.

the standard TV shows (RAW, smackdown, ECW) which are weekly all evolve around a storyline with wrestlers, building upto the months PPV event. matches always have a pre-determined ending.
techniques is just down to the training really, stuff like learning how to break your fall, execution of moves etc

may i reccommend www.onlineworldofwrestling.com they have everything covered most in the forums and a huge database of results years of reading here

I stopped watching WWE ever since that stupid Hornswoggle & Vince story.

mrmoose · 12 Apr 2008 at 22:07

Yea I used to watch it weekly a year or so back but now I only watch Wrestlemania and the occasional Raw. Some of the storylines are bloody absurd.

I mean Vikki Gurrero's Fiance is supposed to be Edge now. Wtf?

Some of it is ridiculous.

I agree with mrmoose. WWE is nothing like the WWF/Attitude days. Would be a case of getting up on a Saturday to watch Smackdown with The Rock and Stone Cold and some street fights backstage.

Nothing like that now a days.

Maybe it's because I'm not 10 anymore but I do feel the quality is lacking these days.

So er....

Backlash?

Steedie · 17 Apr 2008 at 16:22

I was thinking of getting this thread renamed to the WWE thread so we can talk about all the events and shows

So if a mod passed by, could they do that pretty please

But yeah looking forward to Backlash, Big Show vs Khali match should be good

Tute · 17 Apr 2008 at 17:13

The Vicky Guerrero stuff is annoying me a bit - I don't like Edge getting preferential treatment as I can't stand the guy.

I hope at some point on Smackdown it gets made into a tag team match for both belts - Undertaker and Kane vs Edge and Chavo. Now that I would like to see - the "Brothers of Destruction"!

I just got back from Orlando yesterday. I went to see the hall of fame, Wrestlemania 24, and the Raw the night after. Had a fantastic week, Wrestlemania was simply huge, the photos i took didnt do it justice. The hall of fame was excellent, really entertaining, and so was the monday night Raw. I don't think it was shown on tv, but the Undertaker and Vince also came out to thank Flair.

mind if i email you? Am looking at booking up for tickets to Wrestlemania 25 so interested to here about how you went about it

How does it all work with a show every day? I thought it was monday night raw and friday night smackdown? What happens on these other days? Is it basically another RAW just with 'lower-card' wrestlers?

sunlitsix · 23 Apr 2008 at 23:55

what will happen is one of the shows will be televised (or taped) and the rest just normal house shows
