Have you noticed that the wwe just keep getting worse and worse?

I bought the royal rumble and wrestle mania anthology dvd sets and ive noticed that wrestling in the 90s when they used to be wwf is just so much better than the wrestling now. Today its too personal with the mcmahons and the current wrestlers are boring and arent interesting to watch Asked by jsmalls 51 months ago Similar questions: noticed wwe worse Sports & Recreation.

I have been watching a long time, and I would say it is cyclical I agree that Vince and the kids should stay off my TV, but the promoters have always been on the TV a lot. Of course, in the era you mention, Vince was still announcing, at least some of the time. The man's got a huge ego to fill.

And during the time you mention, The WWF had competition in the WCW and Monday Nitro - they have virtually none today. And stars like Austin and the Rock, Flair, Hogan and Savage - they don't fall off the truck every day. That being said, I think the writing is poorer now, the brands are killing WWE (face it: is the ECW anything like THE ECW?) and they should stop that.

They really don't have a large enough talent pool to fill 5 hours of semi-live TV each week without Vince and the General Managers taking up time. I think there are bright spots - Cena has gotten so much better - too bad he's out for up to a year with a torn Pec. That Marilla guy is funny and HHH can still go.

The ladies division is interesting and I think Cade and Murdock are fun. I never see Smackdown, so I can't judge that one. Sources: My answer .

The WWE grabbed too much too fast and is overexposed Yes I have noticed. I think there are several things at play. WWE has gotten very large, not just because of its popularity, but because it absorbed ECW (extreme championship wrestling), and Ted Turner's company.In the past, WWF was a little more family friendly.

Sure, there were always kids imitating wrestling moves to bad ends but the whole affair was less sexualized and less aggressive and very "saturday afternoon". There is a difference between wrestling and knocking eachother around and havng crazy identities and costumes versus plotlines about questioned paternity, or killing eachother's characters off, and women wearing less than lingerie. I am no prude, but in the past, if you wanted to watch men hit eachother with folding chairs, etc, you watched ECW which was on after hours.

It is basically the Jerry Springer show. Now WWE/WWF feels it has to cater to everyone and to push the envelope further and further. They have run out of interesting story lines and are in repeats which is inevitable, but now instead of having alternative wrestling federations based on the audience's preference or tolerance level, there is no line now.

The plots continue over every timeslot instead of having Saturday afternoons a certain story ot kind of wrestling and then the 11:00 pm timeslot being the same darn thing. WWE is missing its Hulk Hogan, its Rock, or other figure who people that aren't diehard fans can care about. Like I say, I am not a prude by any means but business-wise, they have beat their product to death.

Back in the '80s, you had be TOLD that wrestling was fake. The quality of the wrestling was so much better. Now it's just so convoluted.

It's so ridiculously fake.

It's framed as if wrasslin' was good at one (some, any) time. And the huge blunder of putting "sports" and "wrasslin'" in the same set of topics?Yikes. This user has been banned from Askville.

2 no its not a trick question and if youve watched wrestling during the late 80s and early 90s compared to today you would see that it was better...and I kno wrestling isnt considered a sport because its not regulated but it is "sports entertainment" .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
