    How come the WWE never bothers to do anything different ?

    For the last 10 years ever since the WWE became PG, the show hasn't changed much since then. Yeah they have guys leaving for years and then coming back like The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, Bret Hart, Kurt Angle and even The Rock. Guys from the Indies or other promotions...

    Can you name other wrestlers from the WWE today that actually started wrestling in the late 1990's ?

    I meant the end of the decade, Triple H started in 1992.

    Can you name other wrestlers from the WWE today that actually started wrestling in the late 1990's ?

    Off the top of my head, there's AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan, Kurt Angle, Mickie James and Goldberg that all started in 1998 - 1999 (Goldberg was in 97 though). I think John Cena started in 1999 as well even though he wasn't popular until the 2000's, and I know Batista did because he said...

    Have you ever stopped watching the WWE at a certain time ?

    I started watching it at the height of its popularity from the late 90's until the early 00's, then the tone of the product started to get toned down in 2000 compared to 1999 but it was still popular with Triple H, The Rock, The Undertaker and Stone Cold. 2001 was when it started to go downhill...

    What are wrestling criticisms you're sick of hearing ?

    For me it's the typical "Oh it's so fake, wrestlers are just stupid grown men pretending to fight in their underwear to trick the audience to believe it's real". "Why do people watch this stupid crap ?" Even though the WWE has a lot of popularity from its entertainment value, like the theme...

    Is the low blow Shinsuke Nakamura's new finishing move ?

    I noticed Nakamura did it at WrestleMania 34 to AJ Styles after he failed to win the WWE Championship two weeks ago, to turn heel and he's been doing it ever since. Is that going to be his new thing from now on ? I dig the new attitude where he pretends to not speak English when being...

    Are WWE fans aware there's more to the schedule than just RAW, Smackdown and pay per views ?

    Most people think what these wrestlers do is easy because they just see them twice or three times a week on TV but in reality they're working every day of the year, there are wrestling events all the time but they're not televised live, or up and coming wrestlers you wouldn't know about unless...

    Anyone else think that The Rock wasn't a great wrestler but was a better talker ?

    The Rock is one of my favorite wrestlers and of course what made him stand out were his promos and backstage segments on RAW and Smackdown or pay per views before a match. We loved the repetitive catchphrases with the "Finally" "Whip your candy ass" "If ya smell what The Rock is cooking" and The...

    When did the John Cena hate start ?

    I first saw Cena in 2002 when he came up short in his first televised match against Kurt Angle on Smackdown despite putting up a good fight against him but it wasn't until he started the hip hop stuff where he came out to the ring wearing sports jerseys, caps and chains and would cut promos in...

    Anyone else sick of the comparisons between The Attitude Era to today's wrestling ?

    I am, I became a WWF/WWE fan because of The Attitude Era and I get that it has to do with what you personally enjoy. But I noticed whenever somebody sees anything that "sucks" in today's era, it's always compared to what was around in the past. Completely forgetting that what's around today...

    When did "If you're a star in WWE it doesn't matter what you did outside of it" thing start ?

    I heard Triple H and Stephanie McMahon say that about Ronda Rousey before WrestleMania 34, despite the fact that her prior success as a Mixed Martial Artist in the UFC when she was undefeated (before she lost to Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes) and her numerous appearances for television and in the...

    Wrestler's popularity that you just don't get

    Daniel Bryan, I don't get why he's so beloved by the audience that YES YES YES chant is so stupid and annoying and his personality is boring on the microphone.

    How come many wrestlers aren't able to escape their wrestling identities ?

    How come some guys got outside of the wrestling world and are popular somewhere else, but not others ?

    How come many wrestlers aren't able to escape their wrestling identities ?

    We obviously know The Rock did it, he spent years away from the WWE and slowly transitioned to a movie career even dropping his stage name The Rock (although he was known as Dwayne The Rock Johnson for a while before that) then he got rid of it altogether. Batista is also making a name for...

    Are you a bandwagon wrestling fan or a loyal fan ?

    I consider myself loyal, I watch RAW and Smackdown Live every week and it's a lot of fun seeing all of these new faces come in. Becoming more aware of the different styles of wrestling from different countries, with the recent debuts of Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura, or guys who left other...

    Can you think of WWE theme songs that are real songs outside of wrestling ?

    I know both Ric Flair and his daughter Charlotte Flair use "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss which is also known as the theme from 2001 : A Space Odyssey Flair used the real one and Charlotte's is a remix. The late Macho Man Randy Savage used "Pomp and Circumstance" as his theme song...

    Lesnar is hated for not showing up on RAW every week but Roman is booed when he does ?

    I don't get that logic, if you know Brock Lesnar is a special attraction who only wrestles on special events and pay per views, how come people are expecting him to show up to wrestle every week when that's not what he's advertised for ? Because he has the Universal title ? If anything that...

    Who was the better giant ? Andre The Giant or The Big Show ?

    It's hard to compare the two as they never actually had a confrontation one on one. So I only go off of them individually, Andre has more legendary status, as his height and weight was actually a sight to see, due to fact that he was around when wrestling wasn't overexposed like it is now, you...

    What is your favorite version of Kurt Angle ?

    My favorite moments of Kurt throughout his WWE career were the years before he shaved his head bald and the fans repeatedly chant "You Suck" at him every time he comes out to the ring while his music plays (which he still does to this day). But it was that period between late 1999 and 2002 that...

    Do you think The Rock is a sellout like the haters say he is ?

    I don't think so when the The Rock's movie career started, that was when he was still wrestling full time and had not yet become the Hollywood star that he is today. He took time off from the WWE in 2001 (which was still the WWF) to film The Scorpion King (he already filmed The Mummy Returns the...
