I don't watch it a whole lot but I do like the stuff CM Punk has been doing for the past year or so.

CM Punk is awesome! I have watched very little in the last six months. I'm just bored with it and don't care for the storylines. I usually just read spoilers at wrestlezone.com

I was glad to see Undertaker lose the long hair at last. It had been receding for some time, so he got a mohawk. The next guy who needs to admit to male pattern baldness is HBK.
Ric Flair is another sad story.

I heard Jerry Lawler wrestled on Raw tonight and then later on when he was doing commentary he collapsed. They said EMT's were performing CPR backstage and he was dead for like twenty minutes. Thank god they revived him. I'm reading it was a heart attack. Best Wishes and Get Well soon Jerry Lawler!

Who cares! He only refiled so he could add Bubba's ex wife to the lawsuit. I honestly don't know why people care about this in the slightest. Hogan had sex with the wrong person. They got it on film and tried to sell the footage for profit. He rightfully sued. None of this deserves to be news. Just because he's the most popular wrestler of all time doesn't mean he isn't allowed to have a right to some privacy. Paparazzi and people like them sicken me.

I was pretty young when I got into wrestling. It was around the time that the so-called Attitude Era began; when Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart had their little fiasco, and Vince McMahon established himself as the ultimate corporate villain.
I didn't watch it religiously at first, but enough people around me watched or like it enough for it to be on, usually in the background. I'd catch segments and moments, and eventually I wound up watching it myself. My first Pay-Per-View was Royal Rumble 1999, which had The Rock vs Mankind in an I Quit Match for the WWF Championship, and Stone Cold Steve Austin entering the rumble at number one - AND he had a bounty on his head. Good stuff.
WCW on the other hand, I never really got into it heavily, usually just when WWF went to a commercial or a match I didn't like was on. My cousin was more into WCW, as was his step-father, and so they generally had that on instead. Some of my favorite WCW moments were the rise of Goldberg, Raven's Flock, and of course the nWO. I also enjoyed the Latino World Order, as it allowed some very athletic and talented individuals some screen time, something WCW didn't do later on, and why so many left or jumped ship to the WWF.
ECW was also interesting. Though I didn't get to see it as much as the other two, when I was able to, it was pretty wild. It was more attitude-filled than the WWF or WCW, and it's been said many times the WWF was influenced by what ECW did. I always wonder what would have happened if ECW had a stronger foothold on the nation, what could have been, but ECW had Philadelphia, so that was something. I enjoyed seeing some people coming up through that company, individuals like the luchadors, the Dudley Boyz, and Raven and whatnot. A bit wild at times, but overall a nice alternative to the other two major wrestling companies.
Now that I'm older, I have a new perspective on it. I realize that WCW wanted to milk the older guys (and the nWO, which was a great concept, but it got to the point EVERYBODY was in it, and it just felt like one big frat party and less like a legitimate threat), and not let the younger ones come up, and that the WWF is only competitive and decent when it has a fire under it's ass. Wrestlers I'd never have liked as a kid, individuals like Dolph Ziggler (the man "sells" well in the ring), are now more appreciated by me.
That said, I was never a huge Rock fan. He was better than some, but even as a kid I wasn't into him that much. I always preferred Stone Cold. Anyway, seeing him come back to the WWE is refreshing, but he's coming off as kind of corny. Compared to CM Punk, it really is hurting him, but I know he'll deliver in the ring. Problem is, I don't want The Rock to win, because he won't be around after Wrestlemania, so we know if he obtains the WWE Championship, whoever he faces at Wrestlemania (predictably it would be John Cena, but the WWE can throw a curve ball) is going to win. At least with a non-title match, we'd be left guessing if his last match for a while would end in a victory.
On the modern roster, I like CM Punk, Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler, R-Truth, and Damien Sandow. Punk for the overall package, Orton the same but I like a lot of his moves, like that backbreaker he does and, of course, the RKO is such a flexibly used move to incorporate into almost any spot, Ziggler for his in-ring talent and energy he brings, R-Truth's potential, mostly when he was a heel and more focused on conspiracies and less on being a goofball, though his in-ring talent is hard to deny, and Damien Sandow for his promotional skills, since he's always delivering on the microphone.

I've lost interest in wrestling. A lot of my favs are either dead or retired. I watched a promo with the Rock last year and I was bored with it and didn't find it appealing at all. I prefer to watch his movies. I miss the Steve Austin and Sting blonde spike hair days! Before I stopped watching I really liked CM Punk, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, etc. Also, in my opinion I never thought Hogan/Flair and Hogan/Sting lived up to expectations. Sting/Flair were magic though! I can still remember like yesterday watching Sting wrestle Flair to a 45 minute time limit draw at Clash of the Champions and thinking that guy is something special.

I heard a few weeks back that Brad Armstrong died last year. I always thought he was a great wrestler that really didn't get the credit he deserved. RIP!

Former WWF star Virgil has been selling his stuff at subway stations because he is so poor. I wouldn't be surprised if Ric Flair does that soon.
