IF they are starting a McMahon (final boss) vs Austin (Cody) they will hit GOLD but it’s gonna require the rock to show up not sure he’s willing to do it

The Hollywood Blondes got nothing on The Hollywood Balds. Cena needs to embrace this and shave it all off.

I can't believe people waste their precious time on this junk.... I've seen more convincing acting from Bollywood movies. I don't remember it being this bad 15 years ago so what the hell happened...

I would genuinely watch shit like this if they actually kicked eachother's ass for real but this fake crap I'll never understand and even less so the people engaged daily in such "entertainment".

But whatever...

its wild that the Rock is back, at first I thought he was just there now and then like a cameo, but I see him pop up so often on my clips feed that he's practically a regular again now.

It's basic entertainment promising cheap drama, cool moves and (fake) brutality. Understandable to watch if you're in your teens. But to still watch it as a 40+ year old guy? Nah.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

Obviously it isn't so impressive with a boring guy in his prime and two (per the sport) silver haired guys. But for the midcard and the current faces/heels in Main event, whether it's "staged," "fake," or what have you, it DOES require skill, talent, and strength. Yes, the chokeslam being supported by the other hand and being aided by a jump on the recipients part and slamming down on a canvas versus asphalt makes it all "fake," but also, yes, seeing a dude throw someone by the neck is badass, fake or not.

Odd discussion here. Yeah, wrestling is fake and stupid and gay. But if you LIKE fake stupid gay stuff, as so many of us do, then this absolutely peaks.

Anyway, I thought the time had passed to pull the trigger on the Cena heel turn, but they definitely have my interest. They also essentially confirmed Rollins vs Punk for WM so it's all shaping up nicely.

Probably the best move to keep interest up. But I bet he turn back to a face in the end.

That's my guess as well. Seems inevitable that they get him back into "Make A Wish GOAT John Cena" mode before it all ends.

Hogan talked about it once before he went heel. You haven’t read the letters or had the calls about what it means to people. And I bet cena had to deal with that too.

Last time I watched WWF was when I was in early high school when Ultimate Warrior was the craze. Fun shit watching Hulk Hogan, Mr Wonderful, British Bulldogs, hot Elizabeth etc...

I think I quit watching around grade 10 or 11.

Leaping Lanny Poffo would always get his ass kicked but did awesome flips.

I don't watch wrestling, so apologies in advance, but I'm surprised that The Rock and Cena are still involved. I thought they'd left it behind long ago.

I remember watching WWE for the first time as a kid

The confusion was so real. I didn't understand what was happening. Why are all these people in the arena watching this obviously fake fight with bad acting?

And the worst part? The audience. Thousands of people screaming, cheering, and reacting like any of it was real. Were they seriously buying into this nonsense? How could anyone be entertained by something so blatantly staged and hollow?

Even as a kid, I couldn’t understand how anyone could sit through it without cringing. Every aspect of WWE, its fake fights, forced rivalries, awful dialogue, and cartoonish theatrics, felt like an insult to actual sports, real combat, and even just good storytelling. It’s one of the worst forms of entertainment I’ve ever seen, and to this day, I can’t wrap my head around why people still watch this shite

Nut how is that different to watching a film or tv show? They're just pretending to beat people up for our enjoyment.
