If Kane & Undertaker leave wrestling then Pro wrestling will lose its status.

Kane & Undertaker are my favourite wrestlers

true....but noone does it better then Vince and thats a fact we can not deny.

It is the fans that make a career, to explain what i mean let us look at WWE champ John cena. vince does not like him, or think he is much good.
but the 18-40Year old male audience love him. The women think he's a spunk so he is the champ. simple as that.

Fans decide a lot, more then you think.

One more thought....Curt Angel just left WWE and went to TNA.
has this helped TNA ratings?
Have WWE ratings dropped since he left??
Get my point..

You like Stone Cold??...well have I got BREAKING NEWS for you

But first a trivia question...
How did "Stunning Steve Austin" as he was named in ECW get the name "Stone Cold" when he moved from the old ECW to WWE(WWF then)??
Just a hint...Vince had nothing to do with it, Vince just loved the name so they went with it.
I will post the answer in about 24 hours so you have the chance to answer...

Because of his pale blue eyes? (With apologies to Lou Reed and company). Jim Ross was pretty enamoured by them if I remember correctly, LOL.

The BIG NEWS....
Stone Cold got a new movie due to come out April-May this year.
Like the Rock, Austin is contracted to WWE. Today they do movies, Vince can bring them back to the ring any time he chooses.
Stone Cold will return to Raw in the next few weeks.
he will stay on Raw and promote his new Movie till just after Wrestlemania
A main roll is planned for him on RAW and some insiders beleive that Hogan will be baited by Austin.
Hogan has said in Public that he does not think Austin is a worthy opponent!!
LOL...Hogan V Austin in my opinion could attract a bigger crowd then ever seen before in wrestling history.
The reccord stands at 92,000 in the audience. It was a WWF event
try and guess the event and the match they all came to see.
Answers in 24hours!!

hogan vs ultimate warrior in wrestlemania 7?

highway to he#$ undertaker v stone cold?

rock vs HHH?

there were a lot of good matches that were very entertaining

I missed the Hardy boys/3D/Edge-christian era. Tables-ladders and chairs oh my...lol

A grown man's soap opera. Women wonder why we look at Wrestling and Men wonder why women look at soap operas...lol

BTW, I thought Kurt angle went to ECW. I remember the big match with John Cena and RVD on the set of ECW when RVD made history by being the first to win a cross federation title. I remember seeing Kurt Angle and The big show there. At first I thought they were there to support John Cena, but then I saw them clapping etc...I was like wtf? That goes to show you how much I have been keeping up. I really don't care for John Cena. He does have attitude, but he can't wrestle for crap.

No one will ever match: HHH, undertaker, Rock, Stone cold, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Cane, Nick Foley and a few tag teams that made the WWF (yeah I said it screw WWE..I grew up with WWF)

Wrestling is just acting ...I like Fightclub on Eurosport better

I watch Raw & Smackdown just for the entertainment appeal - not much these days, pretty much sucks.

However i much prefer TNA for its technicality and in ring fighting style, it has truly one of the best rosters i have seen for a while with the likes of AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Christian Cage, AMW, Kurt Angle and many more. It just needs some more challenging storylines, hey after all it is entertainment, and to dumb down Jeff Jarrett's role as he seems to be involved in every single bloody thing that takes place.

I would say that to compete with WWE, TNA will need to work on the lighting, entrances, maybe get rid of Don West, more talent, some big names, build up the X-Division again and then it'll truly be a force to be reckoned with, watch ur ass Vince. (i know TNA has money issues, but still the reduced work schedule is a big pulling factor for big names - Kurt Angle)

Hi All,

Sorry for the delay with the answer, had problems getting in here yesterday, all sorted now.

Stone cold Steve Austin got his name from the day he was home with his wife Debra(now seperated). Debra was born in the UK.
She had made him a cup of tea and Steve was doing other things when Debra said to Steve,"Come and drink your tea honey before it gets stone cold".

Steve never drank the cup of tea, it did go stone cold.
Steve spent the next hour on the phone with Vince, vince loved the name and they discussed how to use his new immage.
True story.

The largest crowd ever live to watch a wrestling match??

92,000 packed the Pontiac SilverDome for Wrestlemania 3
the main event....Hulk Hogan V Aundrea the Giant.

Got a question?? post it here!!
