    Are WWE fans forgetting that they're not the ones in charge of RAW or any of their TV shows ?

    It's not up to you to decide whether or not Roman Reigns, or Braun Strowman, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor, Ronda Rousey (or whoever your favorite wrestlers are) gets a push. The WWE already has directors, producers and writers that handle it, there's people who control everything you see from the...

    Did you like Michael Jackson when he was alive ?

    I did, I was first introduced to MJ through my sister who was a huge Michael Jackson fan when she was a kid and she would always watch his music videos all day. Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is the movie that I saw of him first and the music video for Smooth Criminal was the first one that I...

    When did The Rock get the Samoan tattoos on the left side of his body ?

    When I first started watching the WWE (WWF at that time) The Rock had a tattoo already but that was his Brahma Bull, which was the only one he had, that small one with the horns sticking upward and the red eyes with the smoke coming out of its nose (which is also the logo used on all of his...

    So Game Of Death was a remake of a movie Bruce Lee never finished ?

    I heard Bruce filmed some scenes for the movie in the yellow and black jumpsuit with Kareem Abdul Jabbar and the shots with Dan Insosanto and Jin Han Jae but he stopped production to film Enter The Dragon for Warner Bros in 1973 but he died before that movie came out. So we ended up getting the...

    Have you've ever seen wrestlers in real life or got messages from them on social media ?

    I did, last year in July the WWE had a house show in Madison Square Garden in New York City and I didn't get to meet the wrestlers at that time, but I did see them arriving at the building : Goldust (without his face paint) Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Balor, Nia Jax and Alexa...

    Share Your First/Memorable Video Game Experiences

    My earliest memories were watching my dad play a Sega Genesis and my sister had a Super Nintendo, I think we used to have an Atari but I'm not sure. I specifically remember the Mortal Kombat phase and the sports games my dad always used to play like basketball, baseball and football, as well as...

    Am I the only one that didn't like Hannah Montana when it was popular on the Disney channel ?

    I didn't like it for many reasons, mostly because I didn't like those live action kid friendly teenage sitcoms in general, there were lots of them like that before Miley Cyrus like That's So Raven, Lizzie McGuire, Sabrina The Teenage Witch and Clarissa Explains It All (both of which have the...

    Were you a fan of the Call Me Maybe craze back in 2012 ?

    I was, I liked the song when I heard it on the radio for the first time in the spring of 2012, I didn't know who Carly Rae Jepsen was at that time. My only exposure to it was on the radio when I kept hearing it repeatedly, then I saw Justin Bieber on an episode of Ellen DeGeneres and he was the...

    Did you like The Rock's 2011 to 2013 run with the WWE looking back at it now ?

    I liked the very first night The Rock returned on RAW on Valentine's Day in 2011 after he hadn't physically appeared on the show since 2004. I didn't like his new theme song "Electrifying" at first but I got used to it as he's been using it in all of his recent WWE appearances ever since then...

    Why do WWE events have a lot of stupid crowd chants ?

    I don't mind the ones when they say "na na na na hey hey hey goodbye" when a wrestler gets fired or when they leave the company for good, those are actually funny. Or any time they repeat a wrestlers catchphrase when they say it because of its popularity : "If ya smell what The Rock - - and they...

    Do you think The Attitude Era is overrated ?

    In some cases where most fans use it as a way to compare it to the WWE that exists today when they see something they don't like in the current era. "This is nothing like the stuff from the late 90's" of course it isn't, you're comparing two completely different time periods that were done 20...

    Do you think The Rock would've remained popular if he never left WWE for Hollywood ?

    I think so because The Rock always changed his personality depending on how the audience reacted to him. As Rocky Maivia from 96 - 97, he was booed despite being a face so he turned heel in The Nation Of Domination and unexpectedly got cheers within a year because of his hilarious promos he...

    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 ?

    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...
