Something that has been on my mind for a while.

Did you see the ending coming in 'Titanic?' =)

actualy the end with the neckless not so much.

I like your points here. I never really thought about it that way. I think people want that surprise factor there, but at the same time look at Edge returning. Everyone knew the rumors, but it was still somewhat of a surprise. I think the contrary can still be fun now and then, but more often than not if the more predictable outcome happens, I think you're right, it's for the best.

In some ways predictability is a bad thing. With predictability you lose the OMG that made you want to watch next weeks show. If you know what's gonna happen why even bother watching it.

watch some old Pancrase matches.  seriously.

i completely agree with u predictability is not a bad thing every thing u have said i agree with

It's not that it's too predictable. It's that they don't get you to care about the characters anymore. Back in the day, you use to care about what happened. I remember when Austin got ran over at SS. I remember when Mankind won the WWE title. I remember when Stephanie got hung on that cross and Austin saved her. You CARED. Nowadays, they don't take time in getting you to care and genuinely appreciate the characters. Partly due to lack of mic time and mic skills and poorly-executed storylines.

I disagree...

The saddest day in wrestling for me was when I learned more about it and realized it was scripted and more about the backstage area.

It's no fun seeing a world title match when you know who's gonna win.. I miss the days of seeing HHH vs Jamie Knoble when I really believed there was s chance Knoble was gonna win the title from him.

no go and spam somewhere else

[cricketsam64]

no i have'nt but it would be intesting to see who would be champ if they just did basic wrestling moves it might be kk in unscipted pro wrestling

[FriedKitties]

They're two different things.

Have you ever seen unscripted Pro Wrestling? I think Vince Russo was part of a promotion that was sort of like that.

It's not pretty.

Both men have to work together to put on a match.

I think I see the first two seasons of Heroes in his DVD shelf haha.
