A.j lee’s ass and thighs are what keep me watching.
I’ve never bothered to watch wrestling, borderline homo-erotic too boot. But it is a match up that displays what the Olympics should be about. Who gives a fuck about squash?
Let it die. A few other sports need to go as well.
The best events happen at the Olympic Village anyway.

True, but we dont get to watch and they dont hand out medals.
Former wrestler here. Thanks for the link.
WWE is not what it used to be. The guys have basically shrunk down, most aren’t ripped, and the personalities are crappy. I’d say WWE stopped being awesome around the time the Rock left, or maybe that was the time I got bored of the stories.
It went from big bulky dudes like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, to ripped freaks and awesome personalities, to this.
The women are still hot though, but Sable still wins.
Quasi there have always been ripped guys around (Rick Rude comes to mind, albeit he only came to WWF from WCW around the time Hulk started waning in popularity) and WWE still has big guys. You might want to try and catch NXT, there’s this awesome Muai-Thai guy who looks like a bulky oil wrestler or something. The Wyatt Family has big guys, and Kane is still around, as is Big Show, and Mark Henry. There’s also Tons of Funk who will be better when they go back to heels and get a rename and dump the Funkadactyls.
I get what he’s saying, though, there does seem to be a lot of guys in the roster now-a-days who are barely over 200 pounds. Back when I was really heavy into it, people that size were called cruiserweights and now a lot of them are competing for the various championships that they have now.
I do miss the good ol’days of just the tag team, intercontinental, and main championships.
But you have to understand that they do everything they can to boost ratings. Kids these days don’t pay enough attention to detail to notice the size differences. Also, for a long time, they were all on gear. I doubt many are now, but there are few that I’m sure are using.
There still are big guys, too, just a lot more smaller guys who somehow manage to beat the big guys in matches.
My biggest problem is the moves list they all use. A decade ago, there was a large list of moves that EVERYONE did in most matches. It kills me that people give John Cena shit for using the same 5 moves. I’m like “what are you motherfuckers watching? EVERYONE USES THEIR OWN SAME 5 MOVES!!!11!!1!1!1”, haha.
Oh well, I still watch it, though. I grew up loving it, so because of that alone I’ll keep watching it. I see it for what it is, but still got love for it. Unless Undertaker loses a Wrestlemania match. If that happens, I will ban WWE.
As far as REAL wrestling goes, I think it was stupid that they took it out of the olympics. Wasn’t that like one of the original sports when the games started? I think that is a way more legit sport than many of the other ones they have. Ping Pong and batmitten? really? But no wrestling? Get the fuck outta here…
Triple H is drawing some legit heat from smarks because of making comments teasing that he should bring back the Cruiserweight/European title for guys like Daniel Bryan to compete for. It’s a sore point because pretty much everyone would love if stuff like that, or the Hardcore title, or the women’s tag titles, were re-introduced. There being a US title always bothered me since Intercontinental originated as a north+south america title (thus the name) which could obviously include the US.
Would love to see Cesaro hold a new European and Swagger go back to holding the US. They might split amiably once the ‘real americans’ thing ends.
Small guys competing for the big titles is hardly that new though. You had guys like Bret Hart and Shaun Michaels doing it. Focus on acrobatics, technicians, it’s kinda inevitable with the anti-roids stuff.
While Cena normally does the 5 moves of doom thing, he does mix it up occasionally and pull out a monkey flip or whatever that move is where you wrap ankles around opponent’s head and throw’m. You have to keep in mind that they want to keep it simple for his kid fans to understand. Hulk Hogan did basically the same shit where it’s nothing but leg drops that I can remember. We have to kind of look at it objectively, the main guy isn’t always gonna be a Savage/Steamboat in variety.
I’d be fine with Taker losing a Mania match under the right circumstances. What if he had a handicap match against the Shield and Ambrose pinned him? That’d be solid.
Pro wrestling IS real wrestling bro. You can’t fake gravity.
