Falling out of love with Wrestling....

[acailler]

I fell out of love for wrestling several years ago, in 2005. I only started watching it again in 2010, but even then, I haven't been watching Raw or Smackdown 98% of the time. Just watching the PPVs (some of them, not even most of them) and keeping up with what's been going on. I'm very much off and on with wrestling these days, and even when I'm 'on', I'm a moderate fan at best. I doubt I'll ever be in love with wrestling as I once was for several years. But every now and then, I do feel that tiny spark of specialness like I used to, like when the Rock returned or when the Summer of Punk happened. When I watched Cena/Punk at NOC (illegal streaming, of course), I honestly cared who won and was actually starting to mark out a bit like I did in the old days. My love for wrestling isn't completely dead, at least not yet.

I agree with everything you've said.

The only thing that seems to keep my attention these days (an don't laugh...) is the Divas storyline...but then they involved Aksana this week and that's now gone to pot.

It seems like the entire wrestling industry needs a complete overhaul...

While I don't watch WWE at all so can't judge (why don't I watch it is well, because I feel it's utter crap), ROH ocassionally so can't judge you on that either, and can't agree with some things you said about TNA, I can tell you this: watch Pro Wrestling Guerrilla.

If you wanna get back on wrestling track, watch their shows from this year. So many great wrestling matches, moments and other COOL stuff.

You still have EVOLVE, Dragon Gate or Puroresu promotions if you aren't satisfied. All alternatives to mainstream televised wrestling.

What's PWG like in terms of actual storylines?

What's PWG like in terms of actual storylines?

Hard to describe that to you in a simple post, but I'll try.

They're a supercard company. They have a show, usually once a month, where they are able to collect all of the best indy talents in one place, because they don't run iPPVs, hence why ROH and others can't do the supercard stuff like PWG.

So, one DVD show per month, hard to tell on basic TV storytelling, because there's no weekly shows and such. They're there, but you need to watch regularly and adapt to them bcuz their diferrent (you know what I mean) from classic TV storys.

I'll give you a brief example of a main storylines (or feuds) right now in PWG:

Kevin Steen vs. Brian Cage is awesome both wrestling and mic wise
Kevin Steen vs. El Generico (even though they teamed up recently)
Adam Cole being a dick stuff is ultra fun
Super Dragon is always somewhere in there in the mix, you don't know when he can pop out in some feud, he's nuts
Young Bucks vs. Rick Knox the boss referee

As you can see, there are many feuds and stuff going on right now in PWG, but they're not what u're used, if you know what I mean. Ofc there are blowoffs (thinking Steen-Cage will be a hardcore match for the PWG Title in December), sick stipulations, and stuff.

Pretty much everyone on their "roster" has history with everyone and so on and so on, I could talk about all week, it's all connected.

All in all, it's my 1.A favorite company, and Steen is the champion and like Chuck Norris right there, that's all you need to know pal.
