I am just glad to see the Undertaker streak end. Only for the reason that he wasn't a week to week wrestler. Coming in the month before WrestleMania just isn't enough for me to root for him.

The Undertaker has had a fascinating career and one of the most original story lines that has lasted what, almost 25 years?

The ones who hit it big are able to "participate" well into their 60's.

I don't get to tune in as much as I used to, but a couple of weeks ago I found my two grandsons (13 and 9) watching on the big screen upstairs. And I used to watch with my Grandad, who would be cursing because it was fake, but never let anyone change the channel.

Calaway isn't 50 yet much less 60.

Yawn.

This is the 'reality' era? The most predictable outcome yet most farfetched scenario takes place?

Pfft.

Yeah because Randy Orton and Bautista are huge draws that everyone wants to see. Did you see the reaction they got when the came in for the match. NOTHING. No one cares about those two, at least DB gets butts in the seats.

I guess that is the the sad point. The WWE doesn't push 'reality' it bows to the whims of the crowd. It's all about "pop." So now their champ is a guy I could envision a reality in which he could lose to about 20 guys on the roster at this point. All because the crowd cheers "yes" a lot.

Isn't reality doing what the paying fans want instead of creating a world for them?

Afterall, channel 5 rasslin was built around a guy who was literally fun sized.

Channel 5 was at least regional and most of the guys back in the heyday were just averaged sized guys (Funk, Bockwinkel, Flair, Hennig, Gilbert, Tojo...). Sure, there were guys like Hogan, Sid, Calloway, Kimala.

I could easlity seeing Brock walk into the ring and completely SQUASH Bryant without even blinking eye.

It reminded me of when Mysterio was in WCW beating Nash and Hall. Just idiotic.

If you want it to be believable, then Big Show would win every match and be the champ until he retired.

RE: HHH coins this the "reality" era
Big Show vs Lesner in a "real" match would be a sight to see.

Back when Show first entered wrestling, he could really move around a ring, but the promoters wanted to use him as a tank.

And I have no problem with Undertaker. Loved watching him wrestle and he was a great, but him coming in for one month of the year, just wasn't good enough.

Liked the Shield push, because prior to that, I never understood the hype. I mean you have JBL calling them the greatest trio in the history of wrestling. They don't always listen to the crowd... Fandango is proof of that. He has been recycled more than once and just changed his look. I am glad HHH isn't the champ. That storyline has been played too many times.

How many knew that the Diva title was going to change hands as soon as the schtick began to play out. As soon as she said i will put up title every person in the civilized world and California knew what was gong to happen.

One can see scenarios in which Show can be beaten, mostly due to differences in speed, albeit from a strong opponent.

That's how you do "ladder work" to change the belt.

I can't see Punk ever beating Show (in a believable fashion) but I can see Triple H/Cena/Brock beating Show and then see Punk being able to beat them...

I'm pretty sure goat boy has beaten Show before, which is just absurd.

RE: HHH coins this the "reality" era
Bruce Lee....

DB can wrestle and that gives him a fighting chance. Probably not against Show in reality, but there are a lot of UCF people that could beat people in higher weight classes.

It is the same things as the Stone Cold vs Vince angle. The audience wants to see someone stick it to their boss and wants to see the underdog beat the giant.... Things that never get to happen in real life!!!

Like Bill Dundee beating Kimala.

03-lmfao

Its a description of the type of storylines they are putting out now, my friend. Its not a suggestion that wrestling is suddenly real now. (cant believe I had to type that)

So called "reality" TV is really huge right now and they are trying to fit the changing TV audience.

I'm sorry, I just assumed you already understood all that.

True, reality shows have long been revealed as being scripted/manipulated. The Hills, Big Brother, etc.

Child please

She sold about 1/3rd of her stock.

I could also point out that WWE stock is near an all time high right now and she is just being smart and selling high. Its well known that she is building a a massively expensive new home and she is doing this to bankroll it.

Vince holds all the cards and 87% of all the power. The shares she is selling was likely for just this occasion all along.

When he kicks, she takes over all of Vince's shares and control.

She does have at least one sibling I'm sure will also receive an inheritance.
