A Serious And Frank Discussion On Professional Wrestling

hello

My name is Shoe, and I watch professional wrestling. I rather enjoy it, despite its sophomoric qualities. There is a rather large professional wrestling event coming up, by the name of Wrestlemania. This will be the 25th year of that event. I will be watching it, perhaps some of you will be as well. In any case, we can discuss professional wrestling in a manner befitting such a fine, upstanding pasttime.

I myself have recently acquired a game titled Legends Of Wrestlemania. It is indeed a fun game to play, and its interconnectivity with another fine wrestling game I own, WWE Smackdown Vs. Raw 2009, ensures many fun matchups. Why, just this past weekend I wrestled as JBL against Ted Dibiase for the Million Dollar Belt! Quite so! It does lack some things, however, specifically, a few wrestlers I would have liked to see. Mick Foley, I.R.S., Macho Man Randy Savage, and Owen Hart, to be specific. Still, one can have a smashing good time.

At any rate, feel free to discuss your memories, thoughts, and opinions on the ever changing world of professional wrestling. I cannot wait to hear them!

Good day!

    We have Smackdown vs. Raw 2009

    how does it connect, as you say, with Legends of Wrestlemania?

    Wow. It's really been five years since I've seen a wrestling PPV.

    Even longer since I've stopped following the weekly shows.

    As always, I'll blame Triple H.

    Well, you see, good chap, you may import your created wrestlers, and indeed the entire roster of SvR 2009 into LoW, minus dlc characters and weird extra characters like Masked Man and Tony. This expands the roster to twice its original sides and allows for fantasy matchups!

    For example, you can pit Cody Rhodes against his big fat father Dusty! Or Kane against the original, old school Undertaker! Or DX vs. the Hart Foundation! That happened in real life!

    I bash pro wrestling a lot because it's just so silly

    that said, there are some cool moves involved

    and if I ever get in a fight and win it, I will do the D-Generation X crotch chop at my fallen foe

    I watched almost half of RAW last night, which is sad because I used to watch as much of it as I could while also watching nitro

    I miss those days

    NO MERCY WAS THE BEST GAME!

    Professional Wrestling, my good man, while predetermined in outcome, requires a lot of athleticism and can result in severe injuries if done improperly!

    I remember hearing plans to rerelease No Mercy on WiiWare with updated rosters.

    If this happens, I will personally buy another wii.

    La Parka is the finest luchador in history.

    Abyss is a pretty good wrestler for a big man, but TNA's production values turn me off.

    I loved the whole banning of the jacknife powerbomb in wcw after kevin nash "broke" the giant's neck, or when DX invaded WCW

    those were the days when I could still be entirely entertained by wrestling

    also disco...disco inferno

    I used to watch it all the time. Every Monday was "Watch the first hour of Nitro, record the rest while watching Raw" Night

    Then a few years ago I just stopped watching it. I used to be able to tell the path of the WWF belt and the Intercontinental belt from 1994 onward, now I can't even remember the last thing that happened before I stopped watching. I just can't make it through an entire episode without getting bored and changing the channel and forgetting to change it back.

    The last thing I clearly remember was Batista coming to PSU to give a small speech to a class on how awesome he was and what it was like being a wrestler from a PR perspective. I remember he was shaking people's hands when the speech was over and everyone was leaving, and the man is like a giant. I made some comment about his tattoos, and he thanked me for the complement and put his hand on my shoulder.

    He could have killed me right there, but for some reason did not.

    The thing I love about Lucha Libre is the whole mythos surrounding the masks and secret identities

    for example, El Santo only removed his mask once in public, a week before his death, and was buried in his mask

    shit like that, and the reputation he got as this folk hero and symbol of justice, is so cool to me

    that's so hard to answer, as I like various wrestlers for various things

    tag team it'd be the dudley boys/team 3-D

    for puttin' on a show it'd be La Parka or Ultimo Dragon

    for pure comedic value I would go with disco inferno

    and for straight up dumb wrestling mark-ness, I've always loved Kane

    I just remember it feeling really clunky compared to Revenge.

    The WWF N64 games had more extensive CAW modes and so I would always update the roster.

    I should add Mick Foley to this list, but more for his general awesomeness than any particular fondness I have for his mat skills

    though he has been in some amazing matches
