    Aye, being married to the boss' daughter has it's perks, he does have total control over where that belt goes and who holds it.

    Paul Heyman (back when he was the man) said that every WWF/WWE title reign since Bret Harts in '97 (when he was shafted out the belt at Survivor Series) has been tainted and isn't real.

    There was the one were McMahon handed Orton the belt, he lost it to HHH then regained it the same night. So in essence all HHH was doing was adding another notch as the title reign lasted 2 hours maximum.

    He's a technically sound wrestler and the locker room leader but he'll never hold the global appeal of Stone Cold or The Rock.

    Kane is the wrestler who always gave everything for the business, and how many times was he champion?? Once, and it lasted a couple of hours, or what... Good Lord...

    His gimmick is limited tbh, although i do believe he'll get his chance again.

    At the moment he's been placed with ECW as a locker room leader to try drag the best out of the young talent, a job initially given to Benoit before the scandal happened.

    I can't stand most of those who think they can wrestle(HHH, Orton, Cena), but they just cheat their way around. Kozlov looks * promising, I hope he gets far. The only true legends from the 90's and onwards are:Kane, Undertaker, Mick Foley(in all of his personas), The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin(though I disliked him sometimes).

    Well, McMahon treated many of them as *... He let some of the best cruiserweights go away, and what does he have now?? Gregory Helms? Give me a break!

    Cena and Orton are naturally gifted wrestlers, Cena more so than Orton due to the fact that Randy is terrible on the mic, but they like most wrestlers in the WWE are restricted to a certain movesets, if you where to put Cena or Orton into an indy fed like RoH and told them to go all out, they'd be legends on the indy circuit in a matter of matches. I don't care much for Trips he's average in the ring, repetitive on the mic and overbooks himself.

    Kozlov is only going over jobbers, what's impressive about that? I'm looking forward to seeing DiBiase Jr and more of Kofi Kingston though.

    The Ultimate Warrior is bat * insane though, I would have wanted him out of the company as soon as I could, anyone who becomes an extreme right wing political speaker and then legally changes their name to Warrior is out of their mind.

    Draft is coming up, who do you think the picks will be?

    I remember I used to watch it when I was tounger in the good old WWF:Attitude days, when the show was called Raw is War, when Kane was genuinely scary...I used to watch it as an eight year old every week, I'll always remember
    1.Kane burning the Undertaker,
    2. The * in a Cell where the Undertaker and Mankind had a brutal match
    3. How amazing Stone Cold was...what charisma and attitude he had...

    Heh, movesets. Kane and Undertaker don't seem so restricted to me, they do very dangerous moves often. Triple H is awful, Ken Kennedy is * annoying... Boogeyman is a comic refreshment, he and Finlay always have me on my toes. I hope Kozlov gets a bigger match soon.

    Oh yes they are, WWE is all about getting pops. For Taker's TV matches are formulaic, he'll brawl for a bit, hit snake eyes, go for old school and probably fail, rest holds for a couple of minutes, opponent will bust some big move, Taker will sit up, Chokeslam/Tombstone.
    Add in a crossbody for PPV's and Taker doesn't diverge much from that.

    Honestly all the wrestlers have their own routine in the WWE, no respect taken away from Taker or Kane but they reached the peak of their in ring ability a long time ago, they've got great gimmicks and are highly popular and that in the "sport-entertainment" business is actually more important then skill.

    This is true, today there are no wrestlers that can make crazy matches with hectolitres of blood. Where is good ol' Mick Foley??

    I'd want him back in the ring... His endurance to blows was epic. And his Piledrivers... Good *, what a brutal move.

    I have to disagree, IMO the Undertaker is the only real superstar left in WWE as the older audience and newer love him....Ok he doesn`t do the big twist an turn moves, but he is the BEST when it comes down to the nitty gritty. The guy has always been involved in the best fights i`ve ever seen..... Mick Foley v Undertaker has to be the best in recent memorie when he flung him off the cage roof down onto the ring and then to make it even better throws him off the top of the cage and onto the commentators table (IN THE SAME FIGHT!) ......That has to be the BEST fight in recent history since the Undertaker V Hulk Hogan era. Stone Cold & the Rock are there too.
