It's not about the WWE having balls to put that, it's Kurt Angle who is a damn lunatic for doing that lol.

I think the real lunatic is Shane. He took some nasty bumps just to entertain the fans.

I love it. The dude was a natural in the ring, too. Even though he didn't look like a wrestler in stature, you can tell his father was the king of wrestling, and that he was around the business his whole life. Almost like he grew up wishing he could be one of the boys and waiting for his chance to be a part of it. A chance to impress his dad one day by getting in the ring and putting on a show, just like Vince has done so many times. Literally putting his ass on the line for the sake of entertaining the crowd.

Shane could take a hell of a bump. And there wasn't anything he wouldn't do. This guy has pulled off crazier spots than pretty much anyone on today's roster ever has. I bet guys like Kurt Angle loved working with him. I'm still in awe of that match they had. And that isn't the only great performance from Shane.

You can't compare the WWE product back in the Attitude era to the neutered garbage they put out now. From about the mid to late 90s into the early 00s, it wasn't as much about the actual "wrestling" aspect of the shows that drew people in, but rather the clever and unique storylines/characters that were involved. I didn't watch WWE for the wrestling...I mean 95% of what they did in the ring couldn't even be classified as wrestling.

I watched WWE for the SCSA feud with Vince, for the Rock's and Angle's awesome promos, the Undertakers's and Foley's always entertaining storylines and the great in-ring psychology they could display (and of course the insane abuse Foley was willing to take), the insane spots from the Hardy's Edge/Christian, Dudley's plus a handful of other entertaining characters that just knew how to grab the attention of the crowd...

Now? I could appreciate a great match worked by two guys, but that's not enough for me, especially when I know I'm watching a choreographed and scripted fight. If I want to watch wrestling or two guys slugging it out, I've got the UFC for that. The WWE is just missing what got fans addicted to their product 15 years ago

Damn Kurt Angle one of the best of all time imo too. That moonsault even with his age and health and for such a crappy promotion, that was a thing of beauty.

He put on some of my fave matches and also promos in WWF/WWE. Dude was a machine.

Shane, Edge/Christian, Dudley Boys, Hardy brothers and Foley were always the craziest bastards back then.

Cody Rhodes did it at MSG at a house show before New Years.
Saw it live. It was from the corner like Angle also. Was better than the one he did last Monday.

So, apparently on last nights raw, Seth rollings said "CM Who?" at the crowd while raw was on break during the Ambrose vs Henry match.

Also, Raw commentators(Cole,Lawler and JBL) seemed pissed at the crowd for chanting CM Punk before Raw aired last night here is the video.

They've removed CM Punk from the WWE Ranking and removed him from Randy Orton's video. How will they stop the crowd in Chicago from chanting CM Punk? How will they ignore it? :lol:

LOVE what Rollins did there. He gained a lot of points from me. As much as I love CM Punk, he's not the only guy that matters. Plenty of other guys now will vie for CM Punk's spot.

Absolutely, it's time for many wrestlers to step it up now or for creative to give them a shot. I like how Cesaro is in the EC, and he is slowly becoming a face. I can see big things happening for him.

By the way, did you notice how they cut Zigglers entrance short and then gets destroyed by ADR in 2 minutes? I feel bad for Ziggler, he is heading into Zack Ryder territory.

Fans are still behind him. Also, ADR needed to go over heading into his match against Batista. I think ADR putting the arm breaker on ZIggler after the match was over allows Ziggler have a reason to get his revenge on him, maybe a match at Wrestlemania. ADR kicking Ziggler in the head also hints at Ziggler's past concussions and it was the same way Ziggler lost his title against ADR.

Ziggler and ADR have great chemistry in most their matches. They could do great work with a 15-20 minute match.

KnicksFan7 · Post #576 » by **KnicksFan7** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 6:21 pm

I think this CM Punk thing is a work. He's probably taking time off to heal up and will be back. WWE will have everyone trash him from wrestlers down to commentators, then he'll come back and tear through the promotion.

Just my opinion.

poeman · Post #577 » by **poeman** » Tue Feb 11, 2014 6:23 pm

CM Punk is a great talent...I think however WWE needs to cut this **** with old wrestlers coming back and fighting.

Edge/Christian never took any of the bumps in those TLC matches.
