Well this is for my friend matt. hes been bugging me and bugging me "crocker update your blag! you need your blag updated!" so heres an update. nothing much im pissed at right now so ill post on something near and dear to matts heart, professional wrestling.
Matt loves wrestling he claims hes a "smark" which i guess means smart mark, which from what i can tell means hes smart enough to know wrestling is fake but still follows it nearly fanatically. I havent really watched wrestling since the late 80s early 90s back when hulk hogan was still a good guy, razor ramone was a top gimmic and people actualy wrestled.
ive caught a few episodes of RAW in the last few weeks and ive just got to say, how far the mighty hath fallen, long gone are the days of colorful costumes, and solid fighting, now its all about the ratings, whos popular? what will draw fans? its more like a soap opera with tables and chairs than a professional wrestling league now.
The matches are predictable, people can interrupt the matches without any repurcussions, and the match still continues, a match cant start without 10 minutes of talking and posing / strutting.
gone are the family friendly wrestlers of the past, now the roster seems to be made of up thugs and douchebags both fighting over one of the dozens of belts, which are given to the most popular wrestlers who bring in the highest ratings.
Vince, do us all a favor, pull your head out of your gold plated ass and listen to the fans, they know what they want and will tell you if youll just listen, let a lesser known guy win, let them branch out, give them a chance to become champions, stop scripting fights, let the best fighters EARN their belts, stop holding the monopoly on wrestling. let ROH and japanese wrestling it othe light. stage some crossovers you may just find some new talent.
