One common theme that you notice about today's WWE anywhere you go: nobody has anything positive to say about it (bar the outstanding exception of CM Punk).
Damn back then the WHOLE crowd was covered with signs, the crowd was never silent, and now the crowds are almost always silent and WWE takes signs away. I miss the passion.
Please just look... JUST FUCKING LOOK at all the DIEHARD FANS!!! To hear the commentators say "WE ARE LIVE!!! AT THE SOLD OUT ARENA IN (whichever city)... Good times!!!
This is how a fucking intro is done, unlike today's RAW (and especially SMACKDOWN) excuses of an intro, where everything is pretty colours and cheery songs!

I miss the OLD WWE. All these new wrestlers suck big time. Everybody is leaving. I haven't seen wrestling since 2 of my favorites left, but I've seen it a couple of times and these new wrestlers are nothing compared to the ones 2008 and earlier.
Im fed up. WWE needs to drop this PG shit NOW. yeah they have more people, or KIDS viewing McMahons product. but the ratings are lower than vinces tits. the new so called talent arent talented at all, & the storyline writers are shit or running outta ideas. But vince cant help the superstars that retire though, thats their choice. but really vince, swagger, marine cena, Kharma, WTF shes not hot! at least find some one that kinda looks like torrie wilson or stacy. he needs to fix things up. now.
it would be super cool if all the attitude wrestlers like the rock,austin,dudley boyz,hardyz,edge and christian,too cool, steve blackman and all dx members came into the wwe with all kinds of weapons, tables,ladders and chairs. and beat the shit out of all the wwe wrestlers. attitude people would send a message to vince that says "bring the attitude era back"
@vvbn7890 Man i just want my childhood back. watching todays wrestling is like an insult to me. usually i would sit in front of my tv and watch the raw and smackdown but now i can't look at my tv for 5 minutes because you see the same wrestlers in the main event. you know its bad when attitude era wrestlers return and not get a big cheer like cena or punk. now when an attitude era wrestler returns its quiet as fuck like DLO andgrand master sexay.
@Flade155 im not the only one who's complaining on wrestling videos. that quote you put is very annoying. most people say that. the past has been written and done. we can't go back. it's done.
@Flade155 btw, I meant early 2000's and Attitude Era when it was called WWF. That was the shit. After 2002, everything changed. By 2005, that was when WWE was bad and shitty. I know it. You know it. Either you don't get it or you are just plain slow. And dude, close the case because nobody cares about our opinions. Move on and that's all. My comment about up with wwf and down with wwe was 3 months ago.
@Flade155 lmfao, u crack me up more dude. They changed WWE after the Attitude Era ended. It ended when Austin and Rock left and retired. That was 2002 when they changed the initials from WWF to WWE. I knew that it wasn't their choice to change. Both World Wildlife Fund and World Wrestling Federation had battled for the lawsuit til it ended in 2002. So you're pretty wrong and pretty stupid to understand that.
@Flade155 go fuck and suck john cena's dick, u cena loving yabba dabba bitch. WWF was called World Wrestling Federation. That was the shit. WWE sucks. Remember that, Cena lover.
@Flade155 U think Im stupid? I know what's wwf meant, u retard. there's world wrestling federation before it was called world wrestling entertainment and there's world wildlife foundation which was there at the same time as world wrestling federation. thanks 2 those stupid wildlife idiots, they now have the rights for the initials. oh, u like wwe, huh? hey everybody, he says i'm a real puss? check it out. he's a real puss cuz he's sucking john cena's dick. lmfao
This is when I saw Smackdown live. It was so awesome. So sad all the wrestlers except Christian is now longer wrestling and two of them are dead. Miss the WWF attitude era it was better back then.
1997-2001. I would relive those years all over again and go through my early teens just to re-watch the Attitude era. I am WWF all the way but man I do miss WCW also. Nothing like flipping between RAW and Nitro. Ha, back when Mondays were exciting.
I remember runing to the tv every thursday night with my fake wwf belt and just watch.
Those were my childhood days. To bad kids now a days have to see nothing but BS. Is the wwe like banned from doing extreme matches now cuz back then they wold do some crazy stuff especially for the hardcore title which by the way they should bring back.
@000500006 you're right about the hardcore title regardless of however they where knockin hell outa eachother it kept the show flowing and kept people watching who would've turned to nitro when al snow has just been brained with a trash can lid HA! good times :D
The good days. The WWE needs to drop all these guys with names like "Joe Smith" and "Tom Williams" and get back to the characters, get back to actually trying to convince us that the Undertaker was literally dead. Oh yeah, and better themes and intro music like this and the old RAW is WAR theme. None of this Green Day and Nickelback crap. Way too commercialized now-a-days.
@Chase33 Couldn't agree with you more man! Especially about the characters, we need some costumes & facepaint out there, somebody looking like Papa Shango or Ultimate Warrior, or even Macho Man, cause all it is now are tights and nicely cut hair. That's why I like John Morrison - long hair, beard, nice ring/entrance wear, he's a good showman.
@SquadUp5FDP Morrison has potential and I think that Alberto Del Rio is a step in the right direction also. The Miz has awesome mic skills, just needs to be a bit edgier. After those 3, I dont see anyone else worth spending 2 hours of my Monday night watching. It's sad when Undertaker and Triple H can come back ONCE a year for 'Mania only so the WWE can have an audience. Imagine some of these guys headlining 'Mania...a joke. CM Punk's recent rant was GREAT...lets just give him a "character."
@Chase33 I dunno, I quite like that a lot of them just have names now as long as they're catchy enough names, it's the type of thing that wouldn't really be that noticeable of the quality was still there. If you hypothetically had a Joe Smith vs. Tom Williams and they were just great wrestlers and great on the mic, and were allowed to go out and show it who'd care about less gimmicks really? At the moment we get matches where the entrances last longer than the matches themselves half the time.
@TopDog69 I agree that the product put on television is more important but I think there was something magical behind the "characters." I mean wrestling was around in the 50's but when you had The Giant, Macho Man, Hulk Hogan type characters in the 80's it exploded. Then again in the mid-late 90's with The Rock, 'Taker, Kane, HBK, Stone Cold....DX...the list goes on. I really like Alberto Del Rio, CM Punk and The Miz right now..potential steps in the right direction.
@Chase33 Does seem like the WWE have a bit of a penchant for turning whatever characters they might have a bit more normal and just watered down. I mean Kane before he was unmasked was just a really great character, you bought in to him just being this monster because of the production for him and how he handled himself in promos and in the ring. Then they unmasked him and, honestly, when they did that my first reaction was to laugh, they did it so horribly, it just looked beyond stupid.
@TopDog69 ...and look how his career has been since. The second he unmasked I regretted ever desiring him to remove it. The mystique, the aura are gone from the WWE. I remember waking up early on Saturday's just to watch Livewire. Although still popular, i think the WWE and McMahona have rested on their laurels. If TNA would provide any sort of healthy competition we may see a better product out of the WWE.
it costs more money to make smackdown live than to do surprises on Raw. Not to mention the whole point of smackdown is for the newer talent, so if they botch anything up its much easier to edit. And despite the fact that smackdown is his show, many people dont watch it on fridays. Friday is usually day when viewers catch a movie, go to dinner, and party somewhere. Not to sit at home and watch television, thats part of the reason why smackdown has low ratings. It had higher ratings on thursday.
@ecuadragon I don't know why you fanboys keep saying down with WWE PG. Smackdown has ALWAYS been TV-PG. RAW wand Heat were the only TV-14 shows. Retards.
@b34ntown4life no, u r wrong. smackdown never was tv-pg. u should had watch the wwe in the past and see how it was. there was tv-14 stuff back then. not only raw and heat. and yes, down with tv-pg. that's the reason why they are losing viewers with cena and few.
@fatmanfiftythousand thumbs up for a comment that nobody gives a shit about what anybody says including you. even a comment that was posted months ago.
@ecuadragon I can't wait until the day when wrestling fans stop trying to lead their own revolution and just realise that wrestling is entertainment and isn't supposed be debated like it's a World War. It's just a TV program, get over yourself.
1999-2004 were the best years on smackdown. i missed it so much especially the rock, austin, and the helmelsy mcmahon regime saga. that was smackdown!!!! currently now, it totally sucks not only because of the show,but the PG WWE era.
this made a tear come wow wrestling took a 450 degree turn less then 5 fucking years daam fucking kids have to make everything pg..and there not even fans they just go to watch john cena come out with his faggot ass theme song so they can show off there cena dolls.
One common theme that you notice about today's WWE anywhere you go: nobody has anything positive to say about it (bar the outstanding exception of CM Punk).

it costs more money to make smackdown live than to do surprises on Raw. Not to mention the whole point of smackdown is for the newer talent, so if they botch anything up its much easier to edit. And despite the fact that smackdown is his show, many people dont watch it on fridays. Friday is usually day when viewers catch a movie, go to dinner, and party somewhere. Not to sit at home and watch television, thats part of the reason why smackdown has low ratings. It had higher ratings on thursday.

@ecuadragon I don't know why you fanboys keep saying down with WWE PG. Smackdown has ALWAYS been TV-PG. RAW wand Heat were the only TV-14 shows. Retards.

@b34ntown4life no, u r wrong. smackdown never was tv-pg. u should had watch the wwe in the past and see how it was. there was tv-14 stuff back then. not only raw and heat. and yes, down with tv-pg. that's the reason why they are losing viewers with cena and few.
ecuadragon 11 months ago
@ecuadragon Dude, there are videos all over youtube with mackdown and the TV-PG rating. Videos way back from 2000 and 2001.

@ecuadragon I can't wait until the day when wrestling fans stop trying to lead their own revolution and just realise that wrestling is entertainment and isn't supposed be debated like it's a World War. It's just a TV program, get over yourself.

1999-2004 were the best years on smackdown. i missed it so much especially the rock, austin, and the helmelsy mcmahon regime saga. that was smackdown!!!! currently now, it totally sucks not only because of the show,but the PG WWE era.
