March 1, 201312 yr The PG rating takes only a small part of the blame for that, though, IMO. The main problem is that they apparently aren't able to build any new "stars" that the audience desperately wants to see. They have Cena, Punk and maybe Orton. Everybody else feels interchangeable and not special. Just look at Ziggler. So much potential but he's basically in the same position he was in 3 years ago. Or Miz. He was champion and won in a main event at WrestleMania but he just seems like any other guy from the roster now. Compare the current roster to the roster from 10 years ago. Go back 5 more years and it's even more ridiculous. They have so much potential with guys like Ziggler, Cesaro, Barrett, Ambrose, Del Rio, etc. but I don't have high hopes that they are/will be able to capitalize on that. And being able to say "Fuck", bleed and make sexual references to women won't change that, IMO. :P Rant over. :lol:
March 1, 201312 yr It would be cool to see a 1980's layout tbh but I'm thinking a 97 look like last time. Dusty Rhodes and Ted DiBiase are in too, so it might just err towards the 80s. Guess the main problem is that most of the stars from that era are dead or very old.

March 4, 201312 yr I might need to find a cheeky download of this and watch on Tuesday night! Just reading the earlier posts on here - since when has the piledriver been 'illegal'? What about the DDT?

March 4, 201312 yr I'm not saying it is - I didn't realise the piledriver was 'illegal' and wondered if it extended to other moves.
March 4, 201312 yr Wow, it's genuinely banned then...not just kayfabe: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piledriver_%2...al_wrestling%29

March 5, 201312 yr The Miz vs. Ziggler was GREAT! EDIT: IT'S OFFICIAL!! PUNK VS. 'TAKER!!!!!!!!!! I have a match of the night already in my mind! :wub:
March 6, 201312 yr Author Paul Bearer has passed away at 58. Rest in peace mate. one of the best ever managers Imo.
March 6, 201312 yr It'd be the most outrageous angle ever if Bearer's death was just kayfabe and he returned 'from the dead' at Wrestlemania with the Undertaker. Can't really seem them going that far though.
