CCW 2.4: Elliott & Jose talk about 'The Wrestler'.

[Steenerico01]

So if you two are wrestling fans, then I am just wondering

What promotions do you like or follow?

[comicculturewarrior]

I watch WWE and TNA every week. ECW every now and then. I think RAW has gotten pretty weak, TNA is getting better (their last PPV was outstanding) and Smackdown is probably my favorite show out of all three for the moment.

The only TNA I like is the TNA on Christy Hemme! If Mary Jane had a real world counterpart, it's her! Gigiddy-Gigiddy-Gigiddy-Goo!!!

[comicculturewarrior]

I've become a big fan of TNA wrestling. I also follow a couple of the local promotions here in Chicago. WWE has lost my interest right now.

Elliott

[Steenerico01]

Yea I have started liking TNA alot more lately. That last PPV was simply phenomenal

Although really a large part of my renewed interest in Tna is simply due to Desmond Wolfe who I was a big fan of in ROH

I have completely lost my interest in the WWE as well. Mainly I watch more of the independents like ROH and PWG

[comicculturewarrior]

ROH is awesome. I agree with that. The Angle vs Wolfe match at the last PPV was one of the best matches of the year.

J.

[Steenerico01]

Yea I loved that match, it was truly a classic.

But I couldnt believe, while watching the PPV, when the triple threat went on after wolfe/angle and topped it!

That three way blew my mind. Best two matches in TNA all year

[comicculturewarrior]

Totally. Now Hogan and Bischoff are going to come into TNA and fuck everything up. I can't see that going well at all.

J.

[Steenerico01]

Well I am not so sure about that...I mean sure from the surface it looks like TNA is soon to go right to shit with Hogan coming in

But from interviews with Hogan that I have read, it seems that he is very high on the young wrestlers and wants to get rid of the writers.

So I guess there is a chance that it will all pay off for the best.

[comicculturewarrior]

Man, if they got rid of Vince Russo that could only be a good thing. Like you said, hopefully this gamble will pay off. I'm just kinda worried when I see Hogan involved.

J.

[Steenerico01]

yea getting rid of Russo would be the best move that they could make, he has not really benefited the company at all. Just screwed them time and time again.

As long as Hogan stays out of the ring (yea right), then he could really do alot of positives for the company

Although I know that he will get in the ring at some point, it is really unavoidable. Which is really going to suck, I have heard that Hogan has just been abysmal during his Hulkamania tour in Australia

[variantgirl17]

I don't know how I missed this review. I loved the wrestler, really good movie. Also wrestling fan, touched the heart strings.

[comicculturewarrior]

If you saw the movie, Sarafimm, you might just become a wrestling fan! ;-)

If I liked wrestling, I'd go out and see the Wrestler based on your review.

I'll recommend it to my male friends.
