WWE is now rated 'PG' which means they can't have swearing, blood, dodgy storylines involving affairs or crazed maniacs stalking poeple, or too much violence. This is the real reason it's going down the pan.
I watched Wrestlemania the other day for the first time in years.
I quite enjoyed it as it felt like I was recapturing my youth, but it was nowhere near where it used to be in terms of entertainment.
As FOD said it has gone downhill since early 2000s and I was interested to see what Sam wrote because I was thinking during the HHH v Taker match that 10 years ago, HHH would have been wearing "the crimson mask" for sure.
I saw on another forum that this Alberto Del Rio has an MMA background which explains why his signature move being an armbar... He had a couple of fights in Japan fought some pretty decent people.

Sounds like what ECW used to be like. Singapore Canes, tables etc. Apparently Mick Foley fought Terry Funk once in Japan in a match where the ring ropes were barbed wire. Oh the good old days.....

Ive seen it! Bloody gruesome thats all I can say. I believe there was a match where they used light bulbs, a saw, mouse traps, barbed wire and even a cattle prod! Mick Foley and Terry Fuck took it to the next level.
Cena V Rock I'm looking forward to. You can also bet on the matches on Paddy Power. I'm going for Cena, Undertaker, Sheamus, Jericho to win. £10 bet returns £49.
Seeing as its scripted, I would check out pwinsider or other wrestling sites to get any inside info on future storylines. I hope the rock wins personally, cena is such a dick with no charisma
Have checked out a few sites. From what I understand at Wrestlemania the finishes can be changed right until the last minute (Vince changes his mind alot). Out of the 8 matches the only nailed on 1 seems to be the Undertaker, the others can go either way. Should be a good entertainment if nothing else. Crowd will be hot for the Rock in his home town.
'taker was always going to win to be honest, his next wrestlemania match could be him vs the entire roster in a gauntlet match and he would still maintain the streak, but I feel he will win and anounce his retirement, his body is wrecked now. I hope the matches are a bit better this year, the past couple have been too predictable, to the point where you can guess the next move of each wrestler.
Algarve - Its a bit of fun, escapism. Like going to the cinema. A top wrestling match will tell a fantastic story. Lots of people like it, lots of people don't. Wrestlemania is a massive event worldwide.

Mick Foley would have struggled then...

Reminds me of the wrestler movie. To try and stay famous they get more and more Dangerous.
