Introducing the Worked-Shoot Era of WWE

[DallasGirl50]

Next time I think about it I will ask somebody who would know whether it was twice or three times. Got him canned anyway.

Just curious..how do you guys know so much about wrestlers in Mexico? I never see Mexican wrestling on TV. I use to see it many many years ago on TV but it was done very comically...the fans would whack the wrestlers and it was just very silly. I watched it to get a laugh because the announcers would scream and holler...course I never understood a word they were saying. And now all these wrestlers are coming from Mexico all of a sudden...

I can still watch it pretty regularly if I want on my satalite. There is a spanish channel that regularly plays wrestling shows from down in Mexico. We'll watch it now and again to laugh at the commentary, that we can't understand, and watch those guys do some amazing stuff in the ring.

Lots of wild spots and high energy.

Oh ok...I have Direct TV but I've never seen it when I'm channel surfing. I just thought it amazing you guys all seemed to know names and moves of all these Mexican stars. I guess ADR is an exception to the rule then huh? He's a bigger guy and doesn't do all that high flying stuff..

 

[big dog cowboy]

No he just has his own ring announcer.

Exception here, yeah. He actually did do the high flyer stuff in Mexico. He's actually quite athletic.

I can't imagine him doing all that high flying stuff..he's so much bigger than guys like Rey and Bourne that do that in the WWE. Well you learn something new every day. I guess the WWE wants him to do the stuff he does now..the mat stuff and stay away from what he came from. I like the guy. I'll have to check and see if I can catch some of the Mexican action on Direct.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Yeah it's still really fun to watch from time to time. Although I've got Dish so I don't know how much different the channel selections are from Dish to Direct but it's definately out there to watch.

I tell you why I use to like to watch the Mexican guys...the fans. They reminded me of the fans at the Sportatorium. There was one lady there that use to whallop the Freebirds when they walked out to the ring...MIchael use to get whalloped by her purse all the time. They finally got security to stop that but I remember watching the Mexican guys on TV and they were in the fans faces and all that and that made me laugh because it reminded me of Michael and how he was always doing that with the fans. He was an exceptional heel.

Try channel 404 ( Galavision) they show CMLL on Saturday evenings if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks..I wrote that down and will look for it on my guide. I'd like to see some of the Mexican stars wrestle...speaking of the "new" Sin Cara looks pretty athletic to me..he's jumping and flying around the same. Good switch. Maybe a little heavier but other than that I don't see much difference this match anyway.

I don't know if you remember La Parka he was in WCW for a while, he's bigger then ADR and even he will do the occasional backflip of the top ropes, it's just how they do things down there.

The name is familiar...I will google him sometime. I have to say big or small I admire guys that are athletic enough to do that high flying stuff. But nobody walks the ropes like Taker did...you know who I remember from alot of the WCW stuff with Sting? Vader...I remember him on WWF too. Dude was a brute. He was built like Mark Henry but alot more athletic. I was thinking about him the other day for who knows what reason. Guess he's still alive.

Loved him. Mostly all black outfit. Never really spoke. Had cool music.

My girlfriend is from Mexico and a big lucha Libre fan, her familiy back in Mexico records a lot of the big CMLL and AAA events and send her dvds which i watch more then her i think. Got lots of cool masks to including a Santo mask signed by El hijo de Santo

I think it's interesting that so many of the Mexican wrestlers wear masks..Rey said he has about 45 or so....I know it's part of their heritage and history but still it's an interesting angle to their wrestling.

I find it interesting that WWE ended the brand extension and it was overshadowed by Kevin Nash....

They left so much money on the table... A good SD v. RAW feud with a title unification at a PPV would've drawn millions of dollars. Vince always makes this mistake.

now all they need is to get rid of half the belts so some of the lesser belts like the intercontinental title can have some value again

 

[Ren]

Sin Cara heel turn? Are they trying to find a way to explain the crazy boos Hunico is going to get on their Mexico tour or *crosses fingers* they're setting up for a Sin Cara vs Sin Cara down the road
