I mainly watch RAW for Wyatt, Rollins and Ambrose.  I do enjoy MiZdow, Ziggler and Rose, but Wyatt, Rollins and Ambrose make it worth it.  I don't want to miss a second of their careers.

Well after about a 15 year hiatus of watching pro wrestling about 8 months ago I have slowly started to watch it again. A family member told me about the Network and I decided to give it a try if anything just to watch some old ECW programming since I was a huge fan when it was on in the mid 90s. It was fun to reminisce on the old shows and some of the documentaries were entertaining but what really caught my eye was NXT. Who were these kids? Fun matches, fresh blood, easy to follow storylines... well, now I'm hooked. I drove up to Lakeland on Saturday and attended my first NXT live event and I gotta say I was really impressed. I had been to tiny little indi shows at small venues in the past but this was much more than that. I mean, I already knew the wrestlers and what they were capable of but they really do put on a huge effort even in a "dark show" such as the one I went to. These kids have a lot of potential and I hope they dont get stuck with dumb gimmicks when they get called up to the main roster as it appears to be the case from watching Raw and Smackdown over the past few months. Oh well, just thought I would share that if you have a chance to see NXT live, please do. All the guys there were great and really friendly.

Two guys in NXT I really like are Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens.  I followed them on the indies as El Generico and Kevin Steen.  Those two put together is GOLD.  Great matches.  Even separately, they are great on their own.

A friend of mine went to Full Sail University in Florida.  NXT does free shows weekly there.  He's a wrestling fan, but doesn't follow the indies as much, so when guys would get signed to NXT, he'd text me asking questions and I'd point him to YouTube and tell him what to watch and what to be prepared for.

I can't sit through Raw anymore I find it unbearable to watch so much boring talking. I am a fan of Rollins, Ambrose, Wyatt, Harper, Ziggler, Cesaro, Kidd, Sandow (I hate the stupid Mizdow stuff, let the guy be Sandow again) (I'm a fan of a lot of the guys on NXT too) but from what I've seen and read Ambrose & Rollins were better in their Moxley and Black days. At the same time I don't care about the following guys at all anymore: Rusev, Ryback, Adam Rose, John Cena, the Bunny, Mark Henry, Big Show, the Usos, the Miz, Kane, Jack Swagger. I think Stardust gimmick is not working and is actually hurting Cody Rhodes by this point and he needs to break up the team with Goldust. Move those guys back to the singles division as they can go if they let them. Still not sure on Reigns but hope he improves. I did check out a replay of Raw only during the Ziggler-Harper match and the main event (Ambrose-Wyatt although their feud seems pointless to me), I turned the channel for the rest - the matches are all that interest me. WWE just doesn't give enough uninterrupted wrestling...if they want their ratings to improve, they just need to provide more wrestling and cut the talking by about 75% and also not put ads between matches or at least place them better in such a way one wants to keep watching (ads between talking is fine though).

Remember when WWF was can't miss wrestling...(now it's usually too boring for me to sit through a Raw or Smackdown)

Moxley and Rollins were better back in the day.  But they were on the 'indies' and didn't have to worry about commercials, ads, and whatever else WWE places on them.  I'd love if WWE went to a little bit more...'mature' way on their tv.  They'd better utilize those guys.  But as a long-time fan of said guys...I'm loving they 'made it' to  the big-time and watch every week.  In fact, just bought an Ambrose t-shirt and hoodie to support him. 

The Ambrose-Wyatt feud is pretty pointless...but it's WWE's effort to re-establish Wyatt.  They screwed up Wyatt after the Cena feud, and had him on the lower card.  Ambrose is so-OVER with WWE's fans that even when he LOSES, fans still dig him.  So Ambrose's job right now is re-establishing Wyatt as a top guy so he can feud with Undertaker for WrestleMania.

I watched wrestling first cause of him.

The Spoiler was the first villain I recall liking and thinking "he's cool" when I was a kid.

Bob Backlund was the first champion I recall watching, he was pretty popular then. One of my first heroes.

My Dad was a huge fan of Tito Santana so naturally I was a fan of him too.

Being Canadian, Rick Martel & Dino Bravo were also big heroes when I was a little kid. In the early 80s, Hulk Hogan quickly was another as was Andre the Giant. Unlike a lot of other kids though, I also thought many of the villains were cool and recall liking Rowdy Roddy Piper, Greg "the Hammer" Valentine, Nick Bockwinkel in the AWA, King Tonga in Canadian International, the Masked Superstar, the Road Warriors among others.

Andy Kaufman was great.  Could've done something in wrestling if he stayed.

Recently watched an old wrestling tape of WWF wrestling from 1991. Back then, everything was focused on the action inside the ring and the few outside the ring segments were used to build up new potential feuds and affect currently scheduled matches. One team really stood out to me as being underrated by WWF at the time as they were basically being used to put guys over yet these guys usually looked great in doing so. Very underrated - The Orient Express.

Prior to WWF, 2 members of the team were Badd Company in the AWA...
