Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

The whole reason it's called professional wrestling is because when it started it was, in fact, a legit competitive sport. Now the WWE won't even call it wrestling, in spite of the word being in the company's name. [Reply]
I've come around to the thinking that you'd have to be 100% SURE about a young talent actually sticking around long-term for The Streak rub to have been effective. Even guys like Reigns and Bray Wyatt aren't sure bets for long-term stardom yet. That's a lot of pressure to dump on someone.
Brock is a really good choice to have ended the streak because it can't hurt him. The boos aren't going hurt his career like they would a young guy who WWE hopes can be a main card babyface draw in the future. [Reply]

I wrestled growing up and was invited to wrestle freestyle with the Kansas All-stars in high school. Was offered a scholarship by a small D-1 school that I turned down to go try to walk onto a well known powerhouse program. ...that didn't work out for me. :-)
Never the less I have no problem with the WWE. Watched WCW and WWF as a child and although I don't follow it as closely as I use to...I still enjoy it and am entertained in nights when I am able to catch it.
Hell, a lot of the athletes on wwe are ex college wrestlers and this is how they earn a paycheck now. [Reply]
