Jericho is garbage? Why, because he doesn't have control over how he's used on WWE programming? That has nothing to do with his in-ring skills. Watch some of his old material. He's got tons of great matches in Japan, ECW, WCW and WWE. He's wrestled the best and he's done what others haven't done. He gets great heel heat and his mic skills are priceless. He also doesn't mind jobbing to others, because he's done it all and doesn't hog the spotlight. That's class. You just don't like him lol.

Batista is only built to be a monster, because Vince McMahon has a big man fetish. None of Batista's matches have been particularly memorable like Benoit's or Jericho's. Even back in OVW, Batista wasn't anything special. If you want a good big man wrestler, look at Brock Lesnar. Look how many times the WWE has tried to bite Lesnar's style with wrestlers like Nathan Jones or Matt Morgan. Both of those guys were crap rip-offs and so was Mark Henry.
The only thing that makes sense about life is death.

Brock Lesner was a monster! Especially when he debuted. I loved watching him no-sell punches, do his "shoulder shrug motion" thing and closeline the heck out of the other guy. I remember when he came in I was surprised at how he was so athletic for a big wrestler. He had some very good matches with Angle and Benoit. It's too bad he left the WWE cuz Smackdown sucked after he and Benoit left Smackdown back in 2003 and 2004.

I've been watching wrestling since 1990 and wrestlers like Jericho, Benoit, Taker, HBK and Booker T are the only ones left that are of any interest to me. I don't like the current product of wrestling and once all the old guys leave, I really believe I'll lose all my interest in wrestling. I don't know what you guys think but I'm glad I got to see the WWE from 1994-2003 with guys like those I mentioned up there along with Bret Hart, Kurt Angle, Stone Cold, The Rock, and Mankind. The New Hart Foundation vs Stone Cold. Bret Hart/Stone Cold at Wrestlemania 13. Bret Hart/HBK. I loved the DX/Nation of Domination feud and the DX/Corporation feud. I loved watching the Ministry of Darkness. The Stone Cold/Rock feud with their 3 Wrestlemania matches. The Rock and Triple H feud from 1998-2000. Smackdown in 2003 with the "Smackdown Six" Angle, Benoit, Rey, Edge, Eddie, and Chavo. They put on some great matches. Kurt Angle/Benoit, Kurt/Lesner, Lesner/Benoit, those 3 guys put on some amazing matches. Now its 2007 and I'm losing interest in the WWE. I don't know how long Taker, Benoit, Booker, and HBK are going to wrestle anymore but once they're done, I feel like I could lose all interest in the WWE. I don't want to watch a WWE with Cena and Lashley as their top guys. How do you guys feel about being a WWE fan in the future?

Bring back Dean Malenko and have him feud with Jericho again! tongue.gif I still think WWE horribly misused Malenko. He got a nice little Light Heavyweight title run, but that was it. So bring back the Ice Man! That, and get rid of Booker T's crummy king gimmick. Oh wait, take the title off of the man of only two holds (including the sleeperhold), John Cena, and give it to someone who can put on a decent wrestling match. Oh yeah, Batista isn't Lesnar, and I think he's only in the championship picture because of Triple H. Bobby Lashley isn't so great either. Quit treating the Cruiserweights so badly and use 'em like WCW did back in the mid-to-late 90s. Exactly when does Mark Henry's 10-year contract end anyways?

Maybe if all that happens, I'll be a big WWE fan again, but as it is I've been losing interest for the last two or three years. If things don't change, I'll be a fan of WWE still, but a fan of the WWE/WWF days from the '97 to '04.

I love how the crowed are eating up Batista and John Cena.
I'm not too fond of the women's match, but it's basically a push for Ashley's playboy cover.
She'll be pushed back within a few weeks. Hope Mickie gets her title back<3

Lashley > Cena > Batista in wrestling skills, though Cena is so much better than both on the mic. Batista has no mic skills or wrestling skills sadly. I'm glad the Undertaker won. I read somewhere that after the match, Taker told the ref to get Batista out of the ring so he could "enjoy the spotlight" Haha take that Batista. Reminds me of HBK when he won the Ironman Match against Bret Hart, but sadly I'm a bigger Bret Hart fan than HBK.

Taker/Batista should have been the main event, especially with Taker winning. It would have been so much better ending the show with it.

The Hardy Boyz won the Raw tag team titles....NO!!!!!!!! No more Mattitude on Smackdown??? The WWE is just bsing Smackdown so much with Benoit moving over to Raw and maybe even Matt now. Plus they stick no talent Batista and the Boogeyman on Smackdown.

From the way it's been lately, I think they're starting to integrate wrestlers to all the shows like it used to be, which I think is totally better.. You get to see more different matches, plus stars on different shows and whatnot^^

It's cool that they're letting the stars jump from roster to roster buuuuut....all the midcarders are just getting pushed even further? Having JUST the top stars jump around makes waste of the wrestlers who are better.

Jericho is garbage? watching half of a match with him is probably more entertaining than a Lashley, Batista and Cena match combined. ive been following him since his days in WAR and ECW and hes probably one of the most complete wrestlers out there. Batista is seriously reminding me more and more of the Ultimate Warrior with all his mannerisms and that jacked look. Same goes for Lashley.

The whole Lashley-Umaga thing bores me. dry.gif rolleyes.gif
I miss Jericho and Goldberg. They were like the only reason why i watched wrestling before.

LOL, I thought this thread was about actual wrestling, not WWE.

Anyway, John Cena owns- my favorite wrestler(though I don't really watch profession entertainment wrestling).

If anyone has been following the Randy Orton story, I really hope they do move him back to Smackdown. Smackdown is in need of a major heel cuz I don't think Finlay should be it alongside with Kennedy. Otherwise Rey and Mark Henry are due back and I seriously do not want to see them in the main event.

I think that Orton's problems wouldn't be helped with a move to Smackdown. I think he'd be an ass wherever he went. Also, isn't Batista and/or Booker major heels? It's not just Finlay and Kennedy.

Orton moving to ECW or Smackdown is supposedly his punishment. He's still an ass but I wouldn't mind watching him on Smackdown again. Booker is injured right now. Batista is still a face I think. He's just a "heel" right now cuz nobody is going to boo The Undertaker. So right now Kennedy and Finlay are basically all they have left right now. MVP is growing on me but he's not main event material yet. I've said this many times because I'm a huge fan of his, but damn, just bring Jericho back to Smackdown.

As for Cena, I've only been a fan of his heel gimmick when he used to do his raps.(I remember reading somewhere about Cena and his raps and how they asked him to tone it down a bit and he decided not to rap anymore because he wanted to say whatever he wanted.) I never really liked him when he turned face. He's not the worst wrestler but I'm just not a fan of his.

I was watching old tapes of Smackdown that I recorded back in the day and Smackdown used to OWN Raw back then. My favorite Smackdown match of all time has to be the Eddie/Edge Do DQ match. Another good one was the Lesner/Angle Iron Man match and any match involving both Angle and Benoit.

Edge is the new MITB cuz Kennedy is out from injury for 5-7 months. I'm really hoping for Edge to jump to Smackdown and cash it in. What better opportunity for him to be the champion cuz he's not likely to get another run with Cena on Raw. Smackdown clearly needs all the help it can get with Booker, Taker, Kennedy, and Rey out from injuries.
