Hoooo man, you're gonna have a LOT to catch up on then. I'd almost recommend just hopping onto Monday Night Raw/Friday Night Smackdown (both WWE) and watching the current episodes of those - I download them every week so I can dropbox it to ya if you want. Then if you wanna research who somebody who shows up is or what the status quo is, well, google is at your service.

You should do both. The current WWE has some great stars on the rise. Dean Ambrose, Reigns, Seth, Antonio, Ziggler, and more. They put on great matches. The Brock Lesner and Cena feud has been done really well. As far as the past I would star with the great 1980s where things got hot and work from on upward.

I have a lot of time on my hands for the most part but I don't really watch TV much unless it's to catch glimpses of Toonami when it comes on at Saturday. So I guess the past? Could work from the past up til now, I guess. Well you're in luck. I hear you can catch up with every past PPV on the WWE Network for only $9.99* *Per month with a 6 month commitment.

Yea the network is great but missing a crapload of past Raw and Smackdown episodes for a good couple of years from 2001 upwards to the very late . They still have the a lot of the earlier Raw and Smackdown episodes on there still. WCW Nitro won't be added yet for another month or two. But all the PPVS are there so go back and start with the 1980s. I have been enjoying the early 2000's of WWF. I actually started watching all a good portion of WCW's PPVs from 1996 to the early part of 1997. So much fun and a lot of content for 9.99 a month. They have plenty of shit for you to watch honestly. Its good so don't let negative wrestling fans tell you otherwise. I would get it now if I were you before the price goes up.

Went to Raw Monday and had a blast. This was definitely the hottest Portland crowd I've been a part of. Slater got the biggest pop of the night, sadly his entrance was during the commercial break and so no one outside the arena knows it. When he came out, me and my two Wrestling Rundown Co-hosts ( shameless plug) stood up and gave him the legends bow and he pointed to us directly because of it. Also, Cena gave a really fun promo, which they edited down to the bare bones typical Cena promo for TV (At least they did here on the west coast side, because it airs later here and I got home in time to watch it). It wasn't much, but it was little things that made a huge difference. When we were there live it went something like "I've heard 'Let's Go Cena'..." To which the crowd replied with, "Let's go Cena" "Cena Sucks". That prompted Cena to respond, "Well then this should be good, I've hard Cena sucks..." And we exploded with Cena Sucks chants. The promo that made it to TV had the chants replaced with generic cheers and boos, while the "Well this should be good" line was cut completely.

I've always believed WWE likes to water down Cena for some dumb reason. It makes no sense. If they would let him be he would be much more cheered with people above the age of 18 years old.

I think it's just that WWE feels like John Cena is better as a polarizing superstar than he would be of they tried to play to everyone with him. Basically the people who love him will tune in to see him win and those who hate him will tune in to watch him lose. If you listen to the crowd it's working, at least from WWE's perspective. People seem to think if they boo loud enough the powers that be will get the point and do something new with him. But no, because that's a reaction. And if you're reacting you're paying attention. And Cena, in the role he's in, guarantees the biggest reaction on the card, at least until Daniel Bryan comes back. All that said, I don't get why they would edit his interaction with the crowd. We gave him a much bigger reaction and it was more interactive than what made it to TV. So while I understand why they want to keep Cena getting both boos and cheers, I don't get why they'd water down his reaction to make it seem less than what it was.

So watched Summerslam today and man I'm so upset that both Ambrose and Swagger lost. Fucking Russian piece of shit! :< I called every match except the Swagger Rusev match... But MY GOD Cena Lesnar was an abomination. Anyone who hates Cena because "He can't wrestle" and is happy with the way that match went is a hypocrite or just doesn't understand what wrestling is. All that match showed was that Lesner knows even less moves than Cena. Whose idea was that anyway? "I'm gonna hit you with the German suplex, and then do it again and again and again, with a couple of F5's and some MMA stuff." What a waste of a main event.

It wasn't a waste of a Main Event. It was done on purpose to show how brutally dominating Lesner has become storyline wise ever since ending the streak. It was built up from the start it wasn't gone be a wrestling match but a hell of a fight. Though it instead was the most brutal and painful ass kicking I have seen done to a top star in years. It reminded me of Rock vs Mankind in the I quit match and makes that match look like a joke. My only problem with it is Lesner was too brutal in that match and wasn't holding back like you should in the ring so you don't hurt the other wrestler. If your paying him a shit load of money he needs to some what protect his opponent in the ring. He use to wrestle so he knows how the game works in WWE. I enjoyed it to some degree but man you gotta give props to John Cena. People better not bitch he doesn't put the company and more first.

I know it was done on purpose. Just like the abomination that was the Lesnar Big Show match at Royal Rumble was. But, just like his match with Big Show and Undertaker this was a bad match. I don't care that he destroyed Cena. It's what he did when he first came back. But he did one move the entire match. ONE FREAKING MOVE. Repetitive doesn't even cover it. People complain all the time about Cena only having 5 moves, and then this happens and it's okay because... Brock is dominate? No, bullshit. The champ can be dominate. The champ doesn't have to show up all the time (so long as he defends the belt regularly). But the champion needs to be the best wrestler, they need to be able to put on the best match. Because that's what the championship means in wrestling. And that match was probably the second worst Brock Lesnar match I have ever seen.
I will give Cena all of the credit in the world for putting Lesnar over and, knowing the kind of competitor Cena is he probably told Lesnar not to hold back because it would look better.

I do not like brock or Cena. I didn't care at all who won but this match still managed to piss me off. brock destroyed cena so bad the same guy they forced on us for the last 11 years goes down that easily bullshit. I was expecting a bad match but bad doesn't even describe it. lets look at why brock is getting such a push he was a mediocre ufc fighter. I mean it took cena 5 years for me to get sick of him being a top guy it has taken brock 3 matches.

Wrestling matches have always been about telling a story and entertaining the audience. Not just pure wrestling. It's about putting on a show which is why guys like Rock and Hogan are legends. It's also about the character. Lesnar right now is playing the role of the monster and WWE feels he should be a rampaging brawler then the great wrestler he is. The championship has never always solely been it has to be the best match on the card. The championship doesn't make the wrestler. It means more then that. Lesner fought Cena like that on purpose to because storyline wise Brock Lesnar is the Conqueror.
I know the match went too far physically and Lesnar is a piece of shit for not caring whether or not he hurts a fellow wrestler. I also agree that people who shit on Cena so much and love Lesnar are full of crap.
Brock is not a mediocre fighter. He dominated in UFC so easily in his short run and the reason he didn't continue is because he almost died from a serious disease he had for years that finally started up during his UFC run. Lesnar in UFC was never at full health and still won that belt. He only lost and left UFC because it was after his recovery. Lesnar wasn't back to his old self yet. It's well documented and even Dana White knows this. Lesner didn't return to full health until he returned to WWE.
You want to know whats sad about all this? Brock is a excellent wrestler and one of the best. Brock won multiple awards for wrestling before setting foot in WWE in his youth when he was in college. Watch his matches with Kurt Angle and there Ironman match. Very sad he would rather be all MMA.
