    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...

    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...

    WrestleMania What did you think about WrestleMania 34 last Sunday night ?

    I didn't like that they did the Women's battle royal on the pre show and Bayley losing the match to Naomi (who should've had a match with Sasha Banks) but as for the event itself it was great. The triple threat match with The Miz losing the Intercontinental Championship to Seth Rollins and...

    How many WrestleMania's was Chris Jericho in ?

    I know Y2J debuted in the WWE in the summer of 1999 after 4 years in WCW, so the first WrestleMania for him was 2000, then Jericho was there until 2005, so he missed WrestleMania 22 and 23 in 06 and 07 because he was on hiatus at the time. Then came back at the end of 2007, so his first...

    Did anyone else have a hard time getting used to saying WWE after it wasn't the WWF anymore ?

    I did when I saw the first episode of RAW when the WWF logo was drastically different from what it was just a week earlier, I was confused when the two W's didn't have the large F connected to it. And everyone on the show referred to it as the WWE so I had no clue that they changed the name...

    WrestleMania My WWE WrestleMania predictions

    This is what I think should happen later tonight at WrestleMania 34, some of you may disagree with me on some of these but I don't care haha !! Anyway the most obvious is the match that they're using to promote the show : Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle vs Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, I pick...

    WWE is great but why is it considered the best wrestling company by most fans when it really isn't ?

    Don't get me wrong, I love the WWE and wouldn't be a fan of wrestling were it not for the WWE. I get that it's the presentation the fancy high definition video screens, LED lights that flash a variety of different colors, the theme music, really expensive stage designs and tons of media...

    How come most WWE fans think John Cena never changed ?

    One of John Cena's most common criticisms from the WWE fans is that his character never changed, when in reality it did many times over the years. Before the WWE John was "The Prototype" in OVW, then he when he got to the main roster on Smackdown was using his real name but he wasn't doing the...

    Stone Cold vs The Rock at WrestleMania X-Seven was 17 years ago, your thoughts looking back now ?

    I remember watching that match today in 2001 on pay per view, with the Limp Bizkit music in the music videos before the match, Steve Austin's desire to defeat The Rock at any cost and he didn't waste time doing so. Immediately punching Rock, hitting him with the TV monitors, ring bells and...

    WrestleMania Why is WWE WrestleMania 34 not promoted as 34 ?

    I noticed ever since WrestleMania 31 they don't put the Roman numeral of the events in their logos anymore. Everything from 2015 to now just says "WrestleMania" even though we know it's not the original event. In the past with the exception of WrestleMania 2000, X-Seven and X8 all of them had...

    How come WWE counts the wrestlers who won WCW titles during The Invasion Era "WCW Champions ?"

    An example would be the feud between Booker T and The Rock before Summerslam 2001, now it made sense for Booker to be referred to as a 5 time WCW Champion as he came from the original WCW which went out of business when he came to the WWF/E. The Rock took the title from him at Summerslam but...

    Why won't some people respect others opinions on wrestling or wrestlers ?

    By that I mean say you like older wrestlers like Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair and you'll most likely get tons of hate from wrestling fans who most likely weren't even alive when these guys were younger and those who were are so entitled to it because it's what they grew up on in the 1970's and 1980's...

    Do you watch biographies on the wrestlers ?

    I do because now we have more appreciation for what these wrestlers do day in and day out in the WWE or New Japan Pro Wrestling, Ring Of Honor, Impact Wrestling (formerly TNA). Most of the talent we have now were in the WWE before then went to one of those other wrestling promotions after that...
