Starting to watch Raw again. I haven't watched it since 06? Whenever the Hogan/Orton rivalry was. I gotta say, I'm not digging it right now.

I completely agree...if they don't try to re-sign him before MITB they are insane.
I marked out soo hard when he named off Ring of Honor and New Japan.
I hope this isn't just a flash in the pan, and they can work from this.

I've actually started going back and watching the old school Wrestlemanias. Just watched 1 and 2 and they were pretty enjoyable. I really enjoyed the late 80s/early 90s guys and once they left I kind of quit caring.

Is there a cut off point where things got lame?

Hmm the only time I ever stopped watching wrestling was somewhere in the early 2000s. I picked it back up on 2006 or 07 since then I've been keeping up with it. It's been good thus far from that time frame to the present.

I had been watching since I was a kid in the 80s and stopped watching around 03 and picked it up again around 08 again.

I have watched it all the way through since the early 90's most people take their hiatus from it at the right time. It was mostly stale, rehashing of the same story lines and ideas that were used during the Monday night wars. Thank god due to some new talent and new backstage management and ideas it is starting to get fresh again.

I watched from 1995-2003 Then started watching again When I heard of Bret coming back I was hoping he was going to have like a classic street fight match with a bunch of crazy moves and outside the ring action

What made me not enjoy It was when I saw it live haha I remember calling Test like hey test hey test hey test then he looked and i pointed my stone cold middle finger at him haha.

As of now I have been watching TNA since hogan joined the thing I like about it is how funny it is, like last week when Sting tried to act like the joker was so funnuyyy

Well, as far as Wrestlemania itself goes, the low point is...whichever the hell one where the title match is Bret Hart and Yokozuna. Yoko wins, then in a split second Hulk Hogan comes out of nowhere and randomly is apparently in an immediate sanctioned match and pins him for the title in like two seconds.

This is what I now refer to as "Hulk Hoganing" someone. Anytime they just rip off some shit after all your hard work. Especially if they act like they earned it the whole time.

I did think it was 9...That was the outdoor one, right? And Macho Man did commentary if I'm not mistaken, the one bit I really enjoyed of the show.

Yep, it was an interesting one. I believe the commentary team was Macho Man, Bobby Heenan, and Jim Ross.

You know they pull that kind of stuff every other match. There is a lot of dickery with managers, friends ringside, or just random wrestlers running in. But wow that Hogan one sounds extra douchey.

Yeah, they do pull that shit all the time, but...not at a fucking main event at Wrestlemania, dude. Not at the fucking main event.

So is what CM Punk is doing before he leaves is right or just going a bit too far. I do admit some of the things he said were pretty funny. XD

Seriously haven't been this entertained by promos in like 10 years. He has the crowd in the palm of his hand, I just know WWE is going to screw this all up and it makes me sad. There is so much potential in this. I haven't seen this crowd this pumped up for a storyline in a really long time.

Was a big fan of last years angle when mid 40 year old legends the "EV 2.0" crew came back to shake down on TNA IMPACT that was a really exciting shoot angle that had me in shock last year so with the upcoming HARDCORE JUSTICE returning will we see one more untamed women in the back dressing room area weed smoking beer drinking PPV with the EV.2 crew?
Here is hoping!!

Most of the EV.2 group could really be used on impact wrestling they could perhaps join one of the promotions many factions like Immortal or perhaps even mexican america (Rhino, Stevie Richards) and perhaps I may be a bit off here but I was one of the only ones who enjoyed watching Raven still in the ring!
I am sure him and perhaps tommy dreamer Devon Jerry Lynn could still have some great outside the ring action style matches in TNA and I would enjoy to see it!

oh and BTW
Impact Wrestling interested in changing Kurt Angles Attire to include ass less wrestling gear?!

I can't even watch TNA anymore, I've tried and tried, and eventually got tired of fast forwarding 80% of it.
