Long time 25 + year wrestling fan. Since I've had kids unfortunately I don't get to watch Raw or Smackdown or TNA as much as I would like/used to. But I try to watch and keep up with the storylines as much as possible.
Tonight I am watching the Raw/SD draft and just can't believe some of the fans still get excited over this. I am mean Maybe when the very first draft happened it was kind of cool. But the more I think about it, the Draft is boring. So when the draft first started you were told "Oh wow, now you get to see wrestler A vs wrestler B feud on Raw or SD etc. Wrestler A was on Raw for 6 months and Wrestler B on SD for 6 months, now they are on the same show and can have a feud. This would be no different than if they did away with the 2 interbrands and just had all the wrestlers wrestle on Raw and SD like years ago. I just really hate the fact that Vince had a Golden opportunity when he bought out WCW to keep Shane running WCW, keep Bischoff on tv and keep all WCW shows and ppv's separate from WWE. Then at the End of the year you could have the Great American Bash ppv or War Games and have WCW guys vs WWE guys. But when Vince merged and brought WCW guys in it just fell apart. I guess I would rather see good tag team wrestling matches, bring back kick ass stables (4H etc) and come up with better storylines. Less pointless interviews and more quality matches. |

As for Vince keeping WCW - I'm glad he didn't, it wouldn't have been the same. You would have had way too many shows that would have suffered from a talent pool that was so huge nothing would have been accomplished. Oh yeah... let me watch Lex Luger vs Disco Inferno with Stevie Ray and Buff Bagwell doing run-ins! I'll pass. Interviews have always been a part of pro wrestling... it's what helps connect with the average fan... it gives guys a personality. I do also miss tag team wrestling. Not sure if it'll ever make a come back, but it sure would be nice.

The supplimental draft on WWE.com (tomorrow) generally is a better shake up but is usually of the lower card stars.

"I heard it's fake!"
"Yeah, cartoons are fake too... big deal." "They're just actors." "They bust their asses more than any other "actors" in the world do." "Yeah, but it's still fake." "Well, it's still real to me damnit!" Did that about cover everything that would go on? ;)

I lost interest in Wrestling when Vince bought out WCW.
TNA just can't/doesn't push WWE creatively like WCW did back in the day. WWE needs that competition.

How is the draft 'zzzzz'? It was actually quite surprising this year with some big names making changes. Not sure how it was 'zzzzz'.
