The Wrestling Thread

[retrosportsgamer]

I skipped going down to RAW last night and was really happy with my decision. With WM two weeks away, I didn't want to sully my excitement with a lazy RAW (lets face it, nothing is happening at this point). I must have missed the Rock coming out at the arena. The main event was terrible too.

Honestly, this is the worst Wrestlemania build I've seen in quite some time. Only the Taker stuff has my interest because, just like last year, Shawn Michaels is single handedly making me give a crap. Punk/Jericho has gotten kind of predictable and stale, to my surprise. It's nowhere near as amazing as the Jericho/HBK feud we once had

EDIT:Looking over that post again makes me realize something, the WWE is worse off for not having HBK as an active competitor anymore

Yep, agree 100%. I like the card a lot, but after the HHH/Taker HiaC reveal it's been very blasse.

Even the Rock has lost a bunch of his heat. He seemed really off last night and was relegated to cheap Ric Flair and Macho Man pops. I was much more interested in that match two weeks ago.

It wasn't a bad Raw, not really a good one either, though. I do have one thing to say concerning it, though:

The new generation has nothing on the old generation of wrestlers. Just the glances and looks that HBK, HHH, and Undertaker were shooting at each other told a story. When the new guys actually manage to pull off a good storyline, we celebrate like it's the greatest thing in the world. 10 years ago, good storytelling in the ring was the norm.

Oh, and The Rock finally felt like The Rock again tonight, the little bit there was of him.

I agree, RAW was lukewarm at best... Rhodes managed to get some decent heat going, Jericho's personal shots at Punk are starting to show some effect and the Taker, HHH, HBK drama got a little hotter. It's fun seeing the GM teams go at it and it's always nice seeing Aksana in action!

If Keith versus Ziggler ever happens, though, you can bet I'll be there, lol! Go Rambo!

Sweet Nathan.

Has anyone played WWE '12? How do you unlock the DC and Marvel characters? Worth picking up? Does it rain in France?

Dolph responded to Keith on Twitter after watching the video...
