... to see wrestlers such as HBK, Undertaker etc change and look "older" and you remember that you used to watch there style back then and saw them "grow" up and change slowly.

i enjoy watching the business and the stars evolve, I do sometimes feel old tho when i say that i watched their dad wrestle but thats the nature of any sport i guess.
Orton, Smith, Neidhart, Putski and Gordy are just some of the names i think of who i saw wrestle in the 80's and 90's and now their kids are wrestling today.
I like to also pick out the stars who i think are gonna make it BIG, i knew the Rock would, same for Triple H and Brock Lesnar and todays picks would be Kennedy, MVP and CM Punk (obvious ones tho lol).
On a less fun side of it i watch out for what I call "Rocker Syndrome" (tag teams where 1 star goes big the other fades away)

It's hard to watch how bad the WWE has become. I couldn't agree more. It's terrible now. I mean, I can't watch SmackDown because it sucks, ECW sucks and is a disgrace to even be called ECW, I can barely stand to watch Raw because it's the same stuff we've seen countless times over. Geez, you'd think within the last 2-3 years, they would've at least tried to push some younger talent other than say Triple H and John Cena, but nope. Same old crap over and over and over. It's like watching a bad re-run of Nitro or something. I think it's way overdue to give the spotlight to someone else other than HHH and Cena for a change. Give Kennedy a shot or Carlito or C.M. Punk or Shelton Benjamin. I'm just so tired and worn out on seeing the same repetitive crap all the time. |

It's heartbreaking to watch Rey Mysterio Jr. in ECW/WCW and to see him now. He's gone so far downhill it's unbelievable.

I do agree with you that the others should be given a chance. Punk is a former world champion(albeit on the B brand) so the company has seen what he can do. The others have never really been given a chance to shine or fail on top of the heap. I really wish they would push some of the younger guys too. |

It feels cool to see how far guys like Triple H and Jericho have come. It doesn't bother me to see HBK and Undertaker now because they can still put on really great matches. It was really hard for me to admit that Flair can't put on a good match anymore. That was a hard truth.

It's life. People get older. Seeing guys like Bret or Savage today really shows u how old they've got. Just 10 years ago they were wrestling now they have gray hair and are becoming elderly.
As for the product itself its up to opinion. I say it sucks. The kids on the board might love it because they enjoy it. its really up to your taste. Ive been watching the product for years (through the good and bad) and I haev forumlated my own opinion of what's "good" and what's "bad".
Just remember if the product was at an all time high it would be hard to improve it. Theres a lot to improve with the product right now, so if they put there effort into it, it can only get better.

What's really weird is how much the guys I used to watch Main Event and idolize have become:
Benoit-We all know what happened to him
Austin-Can't wrestle anymore
Rock-Movies
Mankind-Practically Retired

It also depresses me because seeing Taker and HBK age reminds me how much I've aged. Your thoughts Mr. Old School? ... to see wrestlers such as HBK, Undertaker etc change and look "older" and you remember that you used to watch there style back then and saw them "grow" up and change slowly. |

It's hard to watch how bad the WWE has become. But then you watch TNA, and realize that WWE is amazing. |

It's sad when they start showing their age and pain..
It's awesome that they've made it through the ups and downs and cemented their spot, and can still have a better match than half the roster..
But sad when all of that starts to show it's worn them down

Yeah, I guess it is kinda depressing seeing those guys get older, but that's life. And they are still doing what they love to do and you've gotta respect and admire that. If it were say a football player, baseball player or basketball player still going at HBK and 'Taker's ages, they would've given up a LONG time ago. I am glad they are still around but sooner or later, they are going to have to call it quits at some point and it'll be really sad to see them go. |

Undertaker just got better with age, though. Shawn can still have a good match with the right guy.
And Mr. Old School, we get it, you hate Cena. Too bad he's better than Kennedy, Punk, and Benjamin.
