    You are wrong there. There are some guys who can actually wrestle such as Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Guerrero to name a few. I wish WWE would concentrate more on the matches an not so much the fluff that goes on around it. I understand you need to have storylines but not a 25 minute HHH rant every show. Do enough talking to advance storylines and let the stories play out in the ring.

      Very true, but the sad thing is we will probably get this watered-down version of wrestling for the rest of the WWF's existence. At least until we get some young, new talent into the organization and a new persepective of what the viewers want. If they cut out all the rambling and bra and panties matches and focus on the ring action (like back in the day of Brett Hart) it would be exciting again. I just say combine the rosters again and extend the show by an hour to an hour in a half. I think the reason why storylines are so mundane at his point is becasue they have overused all the different fueds between the wrestlers. Soon there's going to be just a recycling of all the storylines. Having two separate rosters bottlenecks the amount of opportunities you get to have different storylines among different wrestlers. If they combine back the rosters, rivalries will extend, there will be more variety in storylines, and eventually it can manifest itself into better in-ring action among different wrestlers instead of having Rick Flair and Orton face each other EVERY-SINGLE-RAW!!! And I think there are way too many factions in the WWF right now so there aren't that many opportunities for different wrestlers to fight different people. In the past, there was just the Nation and DX, and they had a rivalry btw each other. Now there's like 5 or 6 different factions so everynight it's either Triple H against Orton, Ric Flair against Orton, or LBJ/Angle against Big Show. So sick and tired of seeing the same people fight each other EVERY-SINGLE-NIGHT.

              LOL, I understand what he's saying. Its tiresome seeing the same fued for a stretch of months when instead, they can fued up to a PPV and end it like that. But the WWE continues to push the fued to the brink of boredom.

              Just glancing at RAw yesterday pissed me off. I saw it was Oklahoma JR day or something like that and when HHH interrupted, I turned the tv.

              Now I'm not crazy, but did'nt they do this exact same thing last year? But was'nt it a diffrent wrestler that came out and interrupted?

                  Re: The Rock has been let go?

                  I learned to turn the TV off when the Rock came on. I was talking from my preference. He was a horrible wrestler though.

                  He may have put wrestling on the map for the teenie-boppers, but that's the last group of people I care about when it comes to wrestling.

                  Rock and Austin ruined wrestling for me, the way everything was so friggin' predictable and every show/match had to end with their music and them coming out on top, even if they lost. Austin was even worse than Rock.

                  Rock's mic skills were overrated. OVERRATED. He said the same crapola every time he opened his mouth. Lick a Llama's ****, yeah that's funny. Poontang pie? Ok maybe that was slightly funny the first time he said it, but every single f'n time he picks up the mic he's gotta say the same crap over and over.

                  The only reason people though Rock was good on the mic is because he never stopped talking. Rock was popular because the chicks and teenies loved him, so he got pushed.

The Rock WAS WWF when he was there and his carisma not only in the ring but on the mic was one of the greatest performances of all time. I look at WWF (not WWE, I REFUSE to call it that) now and I dont' know whether to take a nap or vomit. Wrestling has gotten so terrible now and there isn't enough entertainment value to make me watch it. And I'm getting so sick and tired of this RAW vs. Smackdown crap. GET THESE DANG HASBENS OUT OF THE WWF AND MERGE THE ROSTERS BACK!!! The Rock has had the same importance to the business as Hulk Hogan had to the WWF of the past. Rocks' gone, Austin's gone, Undertaker is the American Fatass Deadman with no drip of semblance to the Undertaker of old, Big Show is gaining so much weight he can't even perform a wrestling move, mic skits are terrible, there's braw and panties matches everynight now, the women wrestlers don't even wrestle, Triple H knows two moves (Pedigree & punch). There's just too much sex appeal and not enough actual wrestling. I say they just put TNA on Spike TV and cancel the WWF.

                      Oh but you're right with everything else you said. Merge the rosters, get rid of the 2 belts, lose the crappy gimmicks and get back to wrestling.

                      Trish is a great wrestler though. Her, Molly and Lita should be getting constant TV time for their in-ring abilities. Victoria too.

                          Lita's hurt again, which sucks since the WWE really paired down their quality female wrestler roster in favor of the Diva search castoffs, a move which annoys me to no end...the divas are mostly useless (though some can be used well)

                          can't believe i'm saying "get these useless pretty hot women off of tv", but I personally don't watch wrestling for that, I enjoy the storylines and decent matches

                              I agree. While these diva chicks are hot as hell, I'd choose not to see them if I could. I really don't mind how Joy and Amy Weber are being used in Smackdown though. I think they are productive hotness, if I may coin a term.

                              Give me a choice between a Lita/Trish match or Orton/Kane and I'm picking the women's match hands friggin down. The women's Raw main event was one of the best matches of the year.
