hmmm. just gotten off prolly the best wrestlemania in years that i can remember.

Ratings on RAW and Smackdown are WAY up from where they were.

cant say they're doing bad at all right now.

of course if they got rid of nwo completely it would be a lot more interesting.

Well, I'd be pissed off too. Think about it, Austin has nobody a big of a superstar as him to wrestle with! Rock and Hogan are fueding with Hall and Nash. And you know what? There is nobody else that Austing hasn't fueded with in the past year. Suck to be him.

I week does not make a turn around. The fact is that ratings have been dropping consistently in general, and I don't think a Hogan face turn is going to last in the long run.

For the WWF to return to where they were 3 years ago, they need to do what they did then: Elevate new talent. They created DX, Stone Cold, The Godfather, Golddust, Val Venis, etc. Combined all this new talent (Ok, Godfather was Papa Shango, but it was a NEW idea)

Are they? No. They are doing just the opposite by pushing old men who can barely move anymore into the top spots. Truthfully, I find the whole NWO angle rather boring. I just don't are about Nash or Hall anymore. Both of them can't work anymore anyway.

At least the WWF has decided to push Brock Lesnar, which I have been calling for for 4 months now. Next you should see Randy Orton, Leviathan, The S.A.T.'s, Nate Hatred, and several more big young talents on the Indy scene come up with Paul Heyman.

Hell, even have Heyman pick them by hand, he has always been brilliant when it comes to finding young unknown talent. He proved this by keeping ECW afloat for so long even though the WWF and WCW stole most of his talent every year and he had to constatly go out and find new guys.

Also, I think the WWF needs to work stiffer. Look at what Brock Lesnar has been doing. Poeple are in shock from the ass kickings he has been giving out. Those power bombs on Spike were just sick.

WWF Attitude is dead. The ratings have shown the people has grown tired of it. Its time for the WWF to move in a new direction.

not sure where you come up with 3 years ago.


they've done much better during the last couple years then 3 years ago.


nWo sucks. they're boring, lame, Always have been, always will be. I stoped watching WCW because of them.


Hogan comeing back was good. because that was the damn near best match i've seen in a LONGGGG time. And thats because both wrestlers were liked. its been a while since its been like that.

But he should of taken Wrestlemania as his last ever match, ended it like that. woudlnt of been a bad way to go out at all.

theres many things they can do. thing is not all people think the same. what attracts some, may push away others. and its always going to be like that.

[Professor S]

3 years ago is when the WWF began its rise into prominence. This was when Stone Cold was the most popular wrestler in the WWF and DX was in its Prime with the New Age Outlaws and the Undertaker was doing everything sacriligious. It wasn't long before they started scoring regular 7.5 total rating scores and over 8.0 overruns. This is back when Raw was on the USA network, you remember wrestling back that far? J/K:D

i dont think anyone here knows what your talking about (i mean the indy wrestlers). these ppl arent that hardcore fans.

[Professor S]

Well that was kind of my point, Bizzyman. Until you put someone on national TV, most people don't know them. Did you ever hear of Triple H before he was put on WWF TV? Nope. Now he is considered one of the best wrestlers of all time BECAUSE HE WAS GIVEN A SHOT.

Until you give the young up and comers a shot at the big time, you won't ever see them in the big time, especially now since the WWF has a monopoly on the wrestling business.

That is the problem with the WWF right now. Since Vince made the WWF a public company with stocks available for purchase, he has been worrying far too much about what his investors are going to think, other than doing what he needs to do to turn his comapny around. Before the WWF went public, the only person Vince had to answer to was himself. Completely changing the dirtection of his company would not be a problem if he kept the WWF a privately held comapny.

Now he has to worry about keeping a bunch of investors who don't know a damn thing about wrestling happy by pushing old names that investors associate with success. Its assisnine.

Pro wrestlings success has always been cyclical in nature. People like it, then they get tired of the stars they used to love, and then there is a talent change-over and wrestling becomes popular again as it did in the late nineties after nearly a decade of sagging ratings. Now McMahon is hesitant to complete the talent change-over that is needed because he wants to keep his stock at a decent price. This will not work, and unless more new talent is pushed you will see the WWF's ratings, and stock, continue to fall.

Boo hoo, Austin's pissed off. Maybe now he knows what it feels like to be Jeff Jarret.
