? any fans of the wwe? or any fans who were fans when wrestling was really good (1998)? anybody remember Goldberg or the NWO?

wrestling was good up to 1997...any thing after was trash 2 me...

after that it was not about the sport..it was about ratings...

I stopped watching wrestling once WCW folded, from what I hear wrestling ain't been the same since. I was a huge fan back in the 80's, so many great matches and storylines in all the federations that came on Saturday mornings here in Philly. WWF, NWA(My fav), AWA, UWF, and WCCW, LOL I even watched GLOW(Gorgeous Ladies Of Wrestling) I was so into wrestling back then.

In the early 90's I started just paying half attention, but in 96 when the NWO took over WCW and Hogan turned heel again that bought me back full time. I would watch Nitro and flick to USA to see what was going on on RAW. It was just the thing that wrestling needed at that time too, that Monday Night War brought out the best in both federations. I don't think wrestling will ever be that big again

Yep, I'm still a fan of WWE & remember Goldberg & the nWo!. The 'Friday Night SmackDown!' show is worth watching IMO. There's also TNA on Spike TV (most of the WCW guys like Kevin Nash, Sting, Booker T etc are there) and if you can get HDnet there's another wrestling company called Ring of Honor (ROH). I agree wrestling was more fun back in the 96-99 time with WCW & WWF competing with each other. I think the 1984-1989/90 era with Hulk, Roddy Piper, Randy Savage et al in the WWF & Ric Flair in the NWA is my favorite era of wrestling though.

I think TNA sucks terribly. Well i wanted to ask is Does anyone think Goldberg shouldve been a Bad guy when he went to WWE ? its a shame to me that he only wrestled in WWE for a year. We never got a Goldberg vs Stone Cold or Goldberg vs Undertaker match and we probably never will

I used to be a huge fan...now, I can take it or leave it...WWE is over produced and TNA, although their storylines aren't that great, they do have some tremendous athletes and better qualtiy "matches"...
I met Goldberg years ago...he was a tool...he was at an autograph signing and acted like he really didn't wanna be there...he was shitty towards the adults and nearly as shitty to the kids that were there to see him...I mean, everybody has bad days but he worked for an organization that is fan driven...you gotta atleast act like you give a shit about 'em...

What?

If ya want me to stomp a mudhole in Vince. give me a Hell yeah

Finally, the Rock has come back to Detroit!

Austin and the Rock made the Wwe big in the late 90's and early 00's. Damn shame they can't find anybody who can make them big again. Instead they keep focring Cena down our windpipe.

the late 90' was the down fall...mid 80's to mid 90's were the golden years.
Bret hart was the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be....

i have not watched it in ten years

Used to be. Once Triple H became a larger part of the WWE and WCW and ECW folded, the product became bloated and crappy.

I really liked the Monday Night Wars between the WCW and WWE/then WWF when NWO, The Original DX, The Rock, Stone Cold and others were bringing their A game night in and night out.

Yeah, 12 world titles must be nice to bang the Boss's Daughter night in and night out.That's the reason why i don't care to much for Triple H. they kept forcing Trips down our throat's as World Champion. did he deserved to be a 12 time champ, nope,but what can you do.

That's pretty much when I watched wrestling, when The Rock made it huge. I loved he WCW invasion and that whole plot line. I HATED when they had Jericho beat him and Austin in the same night, that was bs. I also detested The Rock and Jericho as heels. It hasn't been the same since he left and probably will never be that big again.

Wouldn't you like to know who would really win in a real wrestling match though? Instead of who was picked as most marketable champion or contrived to be best for the sake of storylines. All seems pointless to me. Give me K-1 any day of the week over fake fighting.
