"Triple H told me I've got nothing to prove but the last time I wrestled was not with this company and I want my legacy to end with the WWE. ... "Vince (McMahon) said, ‘Never say never.' And that's what I want - one last match, one last run, one last title win, one last title retirement."
Yea um......

In any event, I would MUCH rather see Hogan win it again than see Cena with the belt.
maybe my memory is hazy... it's been 20 years since I watched this and 30 years since I believed in Santa clause... but what do you mean by 'trying for the title'? isn't this scripted out and rehearsed days if not weeks in advance? it's theatre.
I hate what they are doing with Seth Rollins...
They had a good thing going with Wyatt...I thought he was gaining a lot of steam heading into the Money in the Bank match and they completely derailed him...now he is kind of in limbo and wasting away.
I just have no idea what they are trying to do on multiple levels.

the Undertaker's streak ended I wanted him to win the title at Mania and then leave the belt in the ring and retire. I always thought a great Mania idea would be a tournament of champions. A best of the best including retired guys all trying for the title

MAB,
I'm talking "storyline" trying for the title ie "coming out of retirement" for one final shot. I wasn't implying I thought it was actual "trying".
Yes, I know pro wrestling is scripted, but the wrestlers get injured just like stunt men do...and they normally don't get the time needed to recover. It does take a decent amount of athletic ability to do the stunts they do, and I don't see how Terry Bollea (Hogan) is in any shape to do those.
He's a danger to the wrestlers he's working with, in the shape he's in...if you don't do your end of the stunt correctly, you can inflict major damage on your wrestling "opponent".
lol - can't make it up

Bryan had a severe iunjury and has wrestled in over 8 months.
lol - wait, what?

Brock getting the belt was meant to be the big bad heel for Roman Reigns, the next Heir apparent/John Cena, to beat.
But that was before it was obvious that Reigns is a lot closer to Diesel then Hulk. Vince being Vince won't listen though.

I see Reigns playing out exactly like Diesel. Rollins is the new HBK of this gen. Last year they didn't listen at the Rumble and forced Batista down our throats.. this year it will be Reigns. A year too late. People will boo him. Ziggler is going to be the guy that lasts the longest but gets screwed right at the end (last year's punk)

I always said that pro wrestling was a waste of athletic talent. Even though it's fake they do have to have athletic ability to do what they do in the ring. I wonder how many of these guys could perform in other real sports.

Well then, if YOU said it then it certainly must be true. These guys work out a lot and are in great shape...so that means that they MUST be able to hit a fastball, bounce off linebackers or hit a jumpshot really well too. Right /sarcasm off
It's entertainment. Most of these guys get paid pretty damn well for what they do.
What would a thread about wrestling be without the nimwits coming out of the woodwork to mock wrestling and the people who watch it. Some of you guys have really really sad lives.

Who was mocking it, dipshit? I wasn't, you dope.
The most esteemed scientists in the world would say the same about your stance on evolution.

Goldberg and Reigns were college football players
Angle was actually an Olympic gold medalist; Lesnar was a top-ranked amateur and then an MMA champ
Bret and Owen had amateur wrestling backgrounds
Nash played D1 basketball for 3 years
It wasn't directed only at you, but your comment was still moronic.
These guys make a ton of money and have a lot of success off of their "athletic ability" but you've always said that its a waste of athletic talent. Why is it a waste for professional wrestling but not for baseball/football/basketball etc? And then somehow draw a parallel to success in other sports? Yeah, I'm the dope.
Just because they work out a lot...doesn't mean they'd automatically be good at other sports also.
Some of them played college sports? Big deal. 10,000 kids play D1 football every year.
For the guys who played college, the AA of these wrestlers was not special beyond college sports and gave them no other options in a real sport. They turned to this nonsense for a nice payday. Nothing wrong with it but there is no athletic talent being wasted here.
Zombies are real tho, i was just using that as ironic example. Carry on.

Agreed except for Angle who was a legit Olympic gold medalist as an amateur, so he reached the pinnacle of his legit athletic profession before he went to the WWF
The issue here is that pro wrestlers work as a team doing the stunts you see in the ring. Each wrestler places his health...and possibly his life...in the hands of another, doing those stunts.
It's also why this is scripted, so the guys have a chance to get out relatively healthy.
Do a pile driver wrong, you can break someone's neck/paralyse him. Flip somone the wrong way so they can't protect themselves, and you can get broken limbs. It happens, even when the wrestlers involved are experts at their craft.
It's why these guys are supposed to train as hard as they do, so they know the basics of how to protect the other guy. The term in the industry for those who don't protect the other guy is "wrestling stiff"...and it's the worst thing you can do.
Bolea (Hogan) has no business in the ring. He can't protect the other guy, and he's too messed up to protect himself, no matter what he thinks. That's the real issue.
I agree that Hogan should not be in the ring...but not because he is a risk. But because it would be fucking dumb.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. oh well, to each his own.

Hey, River Mike...does it bother you that grown men watch wrestling? Do you look down on grown men for watching wrestling? Wait, lemme guess...you don't care but you care enough to open up a thread about something you don't care about and then spend the time to make an ignorant post about something you don't care about. Sound about right?
You can go back to watching the Bachelor now. Psst...thats not real either.

I opened it up because I once flew on a plane with Hogan and had a mild curiosity. I didn't open it to belittle anyone, but when I saw Genes comment I did add that I had the same thought. I finished by saying "to each his own" meaning enjoy whatever interests you. That said, go fuck yourself.

And by the way, exactly what was ignorant about my post? The fact that I confessed to having the same question as Gene, or was it the "to each his own" part. Or maybe it was just a gratuitous meaningless insult because you were at a loss for any intelligent comment. I've got a 40 year old nephew who is an exceptionally bright guy and he's an avid wrestling fan. I have no inclination to insult him or you for watching it. Nonetheless I can still say that I don't understand the attraction. So although I don't wish to insult you for watching it, I have no problem at all telling you to go fuck yourself for your post.

Right, I bet it was "mild curiosity."
Listen, there are a thousand threads in here that I have no interest in or just aren't my thing. I dont feel the need to open those threads and create a post questioning why they like it. But hey, if thats your thing then thats cool. Whatever gets you off.

Not that it makes any difference, because you may be the most thick headed person I have run across on this board, but I didn't "create" the post, Gene inCal did. I just replied to him that the thought crossed my mind too, and then I observed "different strokes for different folks, acknowledging that not everyone likes the same things. For some reason that set you off. You are obviously very sensitive about this subject, don't know why, but I guess we all have our little sensitivities.
