Quite frankly, from an American perspective, it stinks!

I go back to the late-1960's WWWF. McMahon's company has always been the "local" promotion here in New England. To say that WWE presents wrestling is stretching the truth. Outside of a select few (Regal, Benoit, and on rare instances, Flair), NO ONE absolutely NO ONE has the slightest idea of how to properly work a match. It's so depressing!

98% of the WWE roster would be lost if their match wasn't pre-planned, move-for-move. It's like watching ballet. If the "wrestlers" on the WWE roster were forced to work a match without any pre-planning, and just work off of their improvisational skills, and use ring psychology......well it would be a disaster that I cannot find adjectives to describe.

Only 20 years ago, all of the wrestlers in the United States could work a match by only being given the end time. Everything else was done on the fly, and great attention was paid to the crowd. If something wasn't getting over, each wrestler was skilled enough to improvise something that would work. Now, the performers stick to the _script_-even if its sinking quicker than feces in a commode. They don't improvise because they can't.

I watch the WWE because there is nothing else on in the U.S.A. that is any better (on a nationwide basis). Mostly I get enjoyment from my classic wrestling collection-including a lot of stuff from the U.K. and Japan.

I hope that this trend (of non-working entertainers) will end....but I doubt that it will. :cry:

Nice to have opinions from someone stateside.

WWE hasn't been good in a long time. I wish TNA would grow.

All i have to say on this topic is, in the early 90s WWE was at its prime, i aint seen much better since. Then maybe got bad in 95/96 but was greatly improved with the arrival of the TOUGHEST SOB Stone Cold Steve Austin, since 2002 it has decline to the boring same old rubbish it is now. I really am bored of the storylines in wwe and them bringin in loadsa useless new talent when they got talent being wasted in the locker room.

I reckon it's about the same from twelve months ago....I have watched and been involved in wrestling since early 70's and on the whole I love it.
I have followed the USA scene for most of this time and never miss the WWF/E on Sky BUT I am so so so bored with Evolution.
Flair is like some sort of fawning stooge round Triple H all the while, there is quite obviously a split forthcoming with Batista turning face...it's just a matter of time and it is really dragging its feet but I absolutely die with boredom when Triple H appears, if he is not in Raws' main event he has to be at ringside or helping with commentary.It really is like the Triple H soap opera and it ruins it for me, this bloke must sit down and be heavily involved with writing all the Raw _script_s with his wife and father in law.
I hope we keep seeing a push for Mohammed Hassan and his excellant manager and fingers crossed for Slyk Wagner Brown in the WWE in 2005 (as long as Triple H approves of course !)

I agreed Triple H is to high on there, then again there's not to many other choices now a days, it's not the 80s or even some of the 90s when wrestling was good and had tons of great stars.
