used to when i had ESPN.

over the last few years its basically become a lot more boring in my opinion, guys of the same weight dancing around for 30 secs before throwing a punch.

if you go back to the earlier PPV's it was basically open weight, so you got to see some right batterings

I know a few people into stuff like that and a friend of mine told me most fights end up on the ground. He does Wing Chun and Kickboxing which is quite an odd but dangerous mix.

No, it is real blood. But just brought about by the bleeder than the opponent.

I watch Raw ever week, yes! But admittedly recorded live and the ads fast forwarded through.

My GF mocked me at first but I got her into it and she watches things like Wrestlemania with me. Gotta love the devotion!

But as for the blood the wrestlers do this thing called 'blading' where they just cut themselves above the eyebrow and bleed out but it's easy to stitch up after the match.

----------------

or what they will do is open up an old scar by having their oponent punch downwards against it causing it top open up.

mick foley put in his book that during a match, an old manager called Harley race ( who was a legitimate tough guy ) tried to use this method.

after attempting it 10 times he still hadnt busted open foley, so gave up because mick had a lump the size of an egg over his eye!

My GF's the same. She loves the whole Del Rio and Big Show beef and likes Ricardo Rodriguez

I do miss The Undertaker though.

Apparently the Undertaker will return at Mania and fight CM Punk.

See I thought it would be The Rock Vs The Undertaker.

Im glad Jericho's back though the guys such an entertainer.

Mick Foley's a legend. I love Mankind the most he was just odd.

Jericho has the best life, full time job as a wrestler, part time job as frontman for a metal band

apparently he isnt guarenteed to make wrestlemania.

the guys needs to retire if he doesnt make it.
he can hardly walk due to dodgy knees and a bad hip.
even the dumbest fan out there knows that any wrestlemania match wuld have undertaker winning, and if he isnt fit enough to appear for the other 364 days, then he isnt fit enough to get in the ring and beat punk.

Your on about The Rock?

I think we need to see like a triple threat match or 4 way for the title old school style.

Right now theres too many superstars and perhaps another title might also be a good idea.

You think the Taker is like Giggs and Scholes

i used to watch it all the time as a kid, rfom hogan and warrior up through to the angle/lesnar era then i stopped.

my young un loves it so i started watching it with him one day, and now we watch it every week together, bit of father son time.

some of the best books ive read are wrestling biographies.

foleys
brett harts
both jericho's
Eddies
william regals

all brilliant books about wrestlers and their lives on the road.

Iv been watching it on and off since the early 90's but recently its as good as ever with all the bright lights and action too.

The Undertaker is my personal favourite though and back in the day HHH was the top dog.

Dunc

Read the HBK one. Very good and very honest

I read the others and they are all good too.

everyone knows its fake rob, but there still needs to be a bit of "magic" about it.

lets be honest, as a fan, you know that a guy who can hardly walk isnt gonna beat a guy who has been the best in the business for the last year.

sorry yeah, hbk's is good too.

Dunc

Taker has been like that for years now though. If people believed he could beat HHH who is a bigger name than Punk twice in two years then they can swallow the idea that Taker will beat Punk.

I doubt if Taker returns he will be beat, his Wrestlemania streak will never be beaten.

if he returns in time thats fine, but if he doesnt then thats two years out, he shouldnt then come in and beat one of the top guys in the company.

Same way Rock came back after 10 years and got a title shot seems a bit unfair.

I dont care much for Punk though it would be nice to see the taker whoop him for the title.

the difference is the rock is in tip top shape and looks a beast.

the undertaker is a broken down guy now.

If he is bad as you say then I dont think he will be returning anytime soon then.

The Rock is in the shape of his life though.

he looks a lot bigger than he ever did and drawfs punk.

Yeah Punk isnt that big is he

Wrestlemania this year will be stacked if Taker returns.
