OK, I admit it.. I'm a fan.
Now that we've got that out of the way, I'd like to discuss anything pro Wrestling here. Be it favourite wrestler, favourite company or anything else related to the industry. Whether you call it rasslin or sports entertainment, all are welcome to participate.
My favourite wrestler is Bret Hart, but I'm also very fond of Dynamite Kid.
I'm not a very big fan of the WWE product.. I think it has become very stale over the last decade or so, but am really enjoying what the company is doing with NXT. They've stripped the production to its bare essentials and can actually tell stories within the ring. Their women's division is great, too, because the women are treated with the same respect as the men and have equal airtime to work storylines and matches. Their titles also feel more prestigious because of this.
So who is your favourite wrestler, company, championship title belt, and/or style?

When I was younger I thought it was awesome. I really can't get into it any more. I like Flair back in the day. Scott Hall was always funny too. And then the generation after, I was a fan of Stone Cold and the Rock. That era was very witty and hilarious. How it is now, I just don't get anything out of it. It's not really as funny or interesting. Maybe because I'm older or the characters aren't as good. I'm not sure.

They actually take time to develop characters and interweave those characters into storylines.

I don't watch pro wrestling, but my grandfather was rabid about it. He lived about an hour away from me and I spent considerable time at his house. I remember sitting there with him as he drank a scotch and put a chew of Copenhagen in his mouth when it came on. He knew all of them and I still remember him telling me the story lines of all the great wrestlers from the 50s and 60s. I still remember some of them from the late 70s when I was around 10 years old- Killer Kowalski, Ivan Koloff, Superstar Billy Graham, Dusty Rhodes to name a few. Great memories.

It's not fake... It's choreographed. Just like any movie fight scene. Or reality tv. Exactly. Except they actually place hands on one another and said activity can lead to injury or even death.

I like pro wrestling too, I haven't really followed it since mid naughties as I'm too cheap to pay for it. I was a fan of the E.C.W. Product.

Used Towatch in the late 80's and 90's. Was a fan of the Undertaker and Paul Bearer era.

The Original ECW product was very innovative and enjoyable back in the day. The WWE version... Not so much. They took a great nostalgic concept, and took a huge steaming dump on it.

I agree with this but I'm guilty of liking the "one night stand" events. Mike awesome v tanaka is a kick arse match.

I agree with this but I'm guilty of liking the "one night stand" events. Mike awesome v tanaka is a kick arse match. The first One Night Stand was awesome, as was the second one, with RVD facing off against Cena for the WWE championship, but they really went downhill after that. I blame wwe for not really understanding why the fan's liked the product, and for trying to make it a WWE product. If Paul Heyman had free reign over the product, it could've been awesome again, but sadly, Vince's ego wouldn't allow that to happen.

The gritty bloody matches never fit in with wwe's family friendly product.
