^^^I love the way that 99% of peeps, upon signing up for a wrestling forum, instantly front like they know more than any of the current members possibly could... "I come to set the IWF straight".... LOL Yeah, right!
You can make fun of TNA & it is rightly deserved, but as bad as it is WWE is even worse right now.
Without so much as an attempt to qualify this statement, it's worthless....
TNA: We're talking about a company whom 3 days before their biggest show of the year STILL have yet to announce the majority of the card. They're fucked from the top down and a few extra high spots, some blading and light cursing (when compared to WWE) isn't about to change that.
Everybody knew that wrestling was not real back in the day,
How do you account for the heels of the late 70's & 80's being attacked by knife wielding fans etc. The heels that could really work in those days would in some towns/arenas regularly fear for their lives... Doesn't sound much like the action of peeps that knew wrestling was not real to me.
...Even police who ultimately were paid to protect ALL of the wrestlers would be found to be marking out, refusing to protect the heels.
When Vince McMahon admitted in court that is was scripted just to save a few bucks. the whole business changed. Now they know we know it is fake so they don't even try to give any realism what so aver. A DDT used to break necks now it dosen't even phase anybody.
So you got peeps near killing each other on ECW in the ealy/mid 90's, all the Jap guys competing stiff and kicking out all over the place and you're blaming what became an industry-wide phenominon on WWE because of what Vince said in a courtroom some years later?
You don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
Welcome.
