I know nothing at all about wrestling but i caught a debate on this the other day and some folks were going seriously nuts over this saying that it was a terrible thing to show someone "dying" when the target (or majority) audience is children.

I'm not sure that is the case anymore, I would imagine that the majority of viewers are adult males these days, especially at live shows.

Besides, it wasn't that long ago that necrophilia was an angle, 80 year old women were going through chairs and giving birth to hands, and a samoan was putting his arse in people's faces on moment and running them over the next.

I was a fan of the Ultimate Warrior.  He was always my favorite.  I have not watched wrestling for about 10-15 years, so I don't know any of the modern day guys.  I do remember Vince McMahon though as a commentator. 

I watched a documentary recently about the Ultimate warrior, most of the wrestlers hated him as he wasn't actually good, but his ring entrance and music, fame etc reached a high level. He constantly claimed he hated wrestling and was very arrogant to others in the business. Ahh well I did like watching him though.

The Ultimate Warrior is fascinating, mainly because he was a terrible wrestler yet still my favourite when I was a kid. As already alluded to, he is indeed mad and gone all political, but he was never the most accommodating of people before, his comple squash of HHH during Wrestlemania and the cheque he probably received for his three minutes of egotistical tripe being a total disgrace.

Paul Heyman. He comes in and takes over with Eric Bischoff. WCW reforms with ECW.

Or the old it was a big setup like that hasn't been done before!!

A definite contender in my book, has plenty of motives, destroying the credibility of ECW perhaps being one.

Also, I think it probably has to be someone in a 'managerial' position as a 'murder' angle is potentially juggling with someone's career, with that particular character anyhow. How could they be face after that?

vince was "killed" by that billionaire guy who he had the fight with recently (head shave thing)

No chance, that was  one off  Wresltemania gimmick - they won't drag Trump back into it.

The WBF, XFL, the current production of WWE movies. Brillant ideas from the genius known as Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

Granted the WWE is a tremendous success but it can be argued that his father laid down the foundations and it was Hulk Hogan who carried wrestling into the mainstream as it was he who came up with the concept of Wrestlemania. The WWE is a marketing success but Vince has made his fair share of blunders.

He's had his slip-ups, but he's still a billionaire from 'business', and WWE was just a whisper until Vince truly got hold of it. In fact, Vince put the company at financial risk to run Wrestlemania 3. If that had been a flop, the company would have gone bust. I agree that the Hulkster played a major part though.

wow thanks, fascinating stuff

Val Venis: $210,000

typo? he was the best wrestler ever!

Didn't they castrate him one episode, or has my imagination gone wild?

On A side note the British Bulldogs son is signed to WWE. Expect him to come through very soon. He was Hogans knows best MTV show going out with Hogans daughter. He's Hugggge.

He's been there for a while now and fought his fair share of dark matches, but I hear he lacks charisma. Also, apart from 'He's British Bulldog's son', I don't think they've come up with any character for him to play.

anyone watch TNA free in the uk  PVP last night and tell me that TNA is not working with WWE

i didnt watch it all the way thro but kept looking to see who was wresting and its filled with

people that were quite good enough to get to the top in WWE singles

but glad to see the dudleys have a new home together they were a huge

disappointment when they split them up

The former WWE stars at TNA are predominantly lower mid-carders who were released (eg. Doug Basham, Spike Dudley, Tomko) or big name players who were unhappy with how things were panning out at WWE (Christian, Kurt Angle).

There's no way Vince is an owner of TNA.

why are so many (adults) talking about grown men in spandex throwing each other around a ring, when even a child can see that 100% of it is fixed.


I would expect it of one of flushy's more private thought's but come on, these programs are designed for kids, people with low IQ'S and Americans ( i know the last 2 are the same).

Times have changed - during the 90's, Vince decided to admit that wrestling was fixed by labelling it 'Sports Entertainement'. It's about entertaining fans, not trying to convince them it's real.

dont't worry as soon as you reach puberty you will be fine...watch ufc that is real

It might be scripted, but there's no denying the fact that these guys truly put their bodies on the line whenever they head to the ring. Just think about Mankind - he has had his ear punched off by Vader, endured broken bones and witnessed a tooth fly through his nose. We wouldn't last 5 seconds doing his job, something that many define as 'fake'.

Don't forget about Droz and the host of neck injuries (Benoit, Austin, Lita, etc) that those guys have suffered.

Vader wishes. It was those dastardly ring ropes.

the fact he had to drop WWF due to a copyright infringement helped him make this choice

The WWF/E case was years after Kayfabe had been admitted.

Benoit and his whole family have been found dead (not storyline).

That's the Vince storyline over with.
