    Tell me it's boring, tell me it's silly. But telling me people are kids or idiots for liking it is just a bit of a dick move.

    I think F1 and Tennis is boring. But I don't go in the thread and spoil people's enjoyment of it.

      What about the fact that you know your comments (specifically in a thread where people enjoy WWE) annoy people make you think it is a good idea to keep posting them in here? Seriously the hockey/WWE fans are over sensitive arguments and flimsy straw men at best and wildly irrelevant at worse.

        I'm sure you guys have seen this but it's a quite interesting story of a former goalkeeper trying to get into WWE:



        Also contains the nugget that Arjan de Zeeuw became a detective.

          I've seen Stuart on Soccer AM last year and he looked massive. If he was decent, he would have made the step up. Sadly he's still doing house shows in front of 80 people around Florida.

              Real shame about Daniel Bryan. Rare that anyone has a proper and genuine connection to the fans. But retiring due to concussions is a good thing. Id love to see him training guys for WWE now. Because he was one of the best Ive ever watched I think.

                Hugely doubt it. The dearth of talent says exactly that. I'd say the NXT show will be better. Can't wait for Nakamura v Zayn.

                MrM, do you watch Evolve? They have Ospreay v Ricochet on Mania weekend. Should be awesome.

                  I don't want to sound like an indy snob but his ROH (maybe his PWG) work was better. I missed his NJPW stuff but I'm thinking of subscribing to their World service to access their archives.

                  MrM do you have some links to his Nigel McGuinness, Morishima, KENTA matches?

                    You only say that because you want it to be true. The last two Manias have bad poor builds but have been 2 of the best for years. Have some faith man!

                      Why would I want it to be true? Lol. I'd love to have a hot product to watch on a weekly basis but I'm part of their audience who is switching off at the moment.

                        Shane O Mac v Taker at Mania seems odd!

                          Raw was great on Monday. The Tag title match was probably the best match WWE have put on this year. Maybe a shade below the Triple Threat from the other week. Wrestlemania is looking good all of a sudden.

                            Really!?

                            I watched Raw this week for the first time in a few months - I found it incredibly boring. I'm on the brink of canceling my WWE Network sub due to having so little interest in what's going on... in the build up to a Wrestlemania... things are grim.

                                Imagine going from $65 for Mania to free in a space of 2/3 years. Mad.
