I’ll admit it. I used to be a HUGE World Wrestling Federation fan growing up. What kid didn’t love Hulk Hogan in his prime? Or the Legion Of Doom and their top buckle finishing move. I would jump off the couch onto my little brother as if I was part of the LOD team. Don’t get me started on The Bushwackers. They had the coolest wrestling intro of all time (the arm pumping around the ring…hell yea!). But all that has died along with a piece of my childhood…
Last night I was laying in bed and there was nothing on TV. Some WWE (as it is now called) show was on so I gave it a whirl. In the 30 minutes I managed to sit through, there were 2 matches and they were both garbage. It seems that the WWE is nothing more than a softcore porno with guys doing acrobatic stunts between the female skits.
The “wrestlers” are nothing more than bad actors who can do flips in the air. I remember when Hulk Hogan’s leg drop was one of the most feared moves in the federation. The Undertaker’s Choke slam put men in comas. Mr. Perfect’s Suplex broke the bones of many men. Nowadays it’s all about who can do the most flips of the highest point. It’s pathetic really. If I wanted to see all that aerial action, I’d go to the circus. At least there I can ride the elephants.
Kids today are being deprived of the true WWF wrestling experience. Andre The Giant is turning over in his grave at the current state of the WWF/E. End Rant.
EDIT: OK so I screwed the last line up. Bastards.

Hulk Hogan’s Leg Drop is at the same time the most debilitating move in all of Wrestledom and the lamest. He’s Hulk Fucking Hogan, why can’t he just pop someone’s head off.
My favorite finishing move: Shawn Michael’s Sweet Chin Music. The Heart Break Kid was a man among mere mortals.
WWE is the suck.
maybe i’m missing something, but “if he were alive he would turn over in his grave”?….now, i’ll admit i find myself confused a lot of the time, but i think this time i have reason to be
“If Andre The Giant were alive, he’d turn over in his grave at the current state of the WWF/E.” ??
anyways, wrestling has always sucked assuming you aged beyond 13
I have the mind of a 13 year old stuck in the body of a 35 year old…leaving a fucked up 24 year old
I agree. I used to enjoy wrestling growing up, when Hulk Hogan was a “good guy”. Now I can’t stand it, but my children love it kinda like I used to. Different generation I guess.
It all went downhill when WWF changed their name to WWE. In its Hay Day, WWF would have put the World Wildlife Foundation in the Cross-Face Chicken Wing, hit them in the head with a steel chair, and then made THEM to change their acronym WWG (World Wildlife Gaybes)
yea I was gonna put that into the post but i figured you had it on lockdown
I watched wrestling before Hulk Hogan, and it was MUCH better. Head scissors and sleepers lasted for minutes in the 70’s and 80’s. Actually, Hulk Hogan antics was the beginning of the end of good wrestling. I hope some of you remember the pre-Hogan days. Oh, I’m a filmmaker doing a documentary on wrestling. I’ll be giving WWE a good kick in the ass for what they did to wrestling.
