+5 thumbs upI watch it occasionally with my son. I think it hit it's pinnacle during the Civil War of WWE/WCW/ECW. From there it all went downhill because Vince McMahon had a monopoly on the industry. It is getting back to being entertaining but it is still retreading on similar storylines. But I do respect TNA and what Jeff Jarrett has done to give some competition to the WWE.

I don't really have an option for answering this poll because I don't watch professional wrestling any more, but I did watch it as an adult, not as a kid.

My roommate had to watch it, so therefore I had to watch it.

I do watch wrestling but not as hardcore as I use to.  I was one of those guys who would watch all the TV programming for WWF, WCW and ECW, buy the PPV's, the videogames and go to the live events when they were in the area.  Once Vince bought out the competition, things went downhill and got stale realy quick.  I do occasionally watch some of the WWE programming, as well as some of the TNA stuff but recently, I've found myself paying more and more attention to the UFC.

I was a bigger fan back in the early to mid 80's when there was a wide variety of wrestling organizations, WWF, WCCW, NWA, AWA... I was able to see how wrestling differed across the country and how each region had their own style of wrestling. If you were living in Texas and a fan of wrestling you watched The Von Erichs and World Class Championship Wrestling. If you lived in Georgia, you grew up with Gordon Solie and the NWA style of wrestling... With the constant mergers and the growth of the McMahon monopoly, you lost a lot of that. I would buy all the magazines that were out so I could introduce myself to other wrestlers not supported by my local cable tv. I would go to the arenas and watched whenever they would come to town. I still remember the first time I saw Rick Flair live, the flock of hair on his head glowing from the bright blond refection of the ring lights. His robe was like a strobe light reflecting every flash from fans who were in awe because back in those days, world champions didn't come to every arena, let alone fight every show. So we felt honored when a World championship match was in our area. As the 90's progressed, and I got older I watched less and less until my children also caught the bug, so i do still watch occasionally. I still get entertained but I will never be the fanatical magazine buying, poster collecting, cable tv searchin, catching public transportation cause I was too young to drive to the arena son of a gun I was, but hey it's still holds a place in my heart. Right next to the Big Wheel.

I still watch and somewhat enjoy wrestling. I agree with the comments that since MacMahon has bought out the competition that it most definitely has dropped off in entertainment appeal. He's totally killed ECW. He has turned that into a glorified farm team. He has all the stars from the other two branches come on the show and smack around the talent from ECW or have them on Raw so that he can display what his "top notch" talent can do. Shoot last night they had a six woman tag match and the ECW divas didn't even get in the ring for action. Last Monday night they had Triple H beat up the whole ECW locker room after the match just to have one of the Raw stars take him out. MacMahon has done a terrible job of promoting ECW.

 

As for TNA it tries to do a lot of gimmicky matches which with the talent they have makes for a lot of great action but the writers for that show needs to be shot. And originallity on some of the characters is a little lacking. So far from what I have seen they have a blatant "Macho Man" Randy Savage charater and now someone who thinks he is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. They also have a character that has the whole super hero schtick going like the Hurricane did.

 

On the flip side I do like alot of their talent such as Samoa Joe and some of the older names from ECW and WWE that want a job but don't/can't work for Vince. I also have to say that the female matches are so much better than the WWE because the women are actually performing convincingly in the ring instead of being just eye candy.

+1 thumbs upProfessional wrestling is damn near the dumbest sh*t in the world, and never understood why people (who will admit to you they know its fake) still gather in front of their televisions and watch this absolute garbage.

Do you watch movies or tv shows? Because most of those are 'fake' or 'scripted' too. It's called entertainment my friend. Just because it's not your cup of tea, please don't denegrate those who watch it religeously. I hate NASCAR and Basketball and have those same opinions you have about Wrestling about those two sports, but you wouldn't know that because I wouldn't denegrate their fans.
