The Figure Four - ALL Things ECW-WWF-TNA-ROH

[Grimm]

As long as they bring back Sabu, The Sandman, and New Jack i will be watching, I haven't seen anyone get hit in the head with a VCR for a while and I'm missing it

I remember going to the first ever ECW event held in Buffalo in, I believe 1996 and to this date that is the best ever pro wrestling event I've ever attended and I've been to tons. That event was so good, they distributed it. But I don't believe you can ever re-live the past and it won't be the same.

E-C-DUB! E-C-DUB!

How many wrestlers are going to leave TNA for this?

I hope none. But from what I've heard, most of TNA's talent is under contract for a while anyways.

So, does that mean Tazz is going to wrestle again?

Doubt it, his body is in bad shape, he's probably gonna do commentary with Joey, which will be odd since Joey always did it by himself.

Anyone who says wrestling is fake is just plain ignorant.. Yes we know it's rehearsed, but fake? no.. Did anyone see Trish Stratu's arm get bent back a few weeks ago.. I damn near threw up at the sight. That's just one of a million examples I could through out..

ECW was not what I'd call a step ahead of the other promotions, but they definately cut their own path.

[G-Prime]

I liked ECW when it was a rebel outfit.....being part of the WWE loses that appeal, but Vince will find a way to keep it interesting.

Still like TNA but was always more of a WCW fan than a WWE fan.........

TNA is garbage imo.. I'm not seeing much talent there to be honest =/

No, we just like REAL sports . . . where whoever is better wins. Also, after watching boxing, UFC, Pride, or any other REAL fighting . . . it's hard to watch the fake stuff that the WWF puts out.

Agreed CJC. I used to watch pro wrestling as a child. Then I started wrestling in Jr. High and High school and that was the end of Dusty Rhodes, Killer Karl Kox, The Iron Sheik and all the rest of those characters for me.

I could probably still occasionally watch it as kitschy pap if they weren't trying to make it look so real nowadays. Without the old bald fat guys it lost the only chance it had with me which was the humor angle.

...uhhh Freestyle, Sumo, Greco-Roman, and Folkstyle share the honor of being the greatest wrestling ever since they actually all are forms of wrestling. Pro wrestling is nothing more than mediocre theatre/gymnastics.

Trust me, real is always soooo much better.

Trust me, I'd rather see someone get powerbombed over a table set on fire than see these real forms of wrestling.

TNA is not garbage. On average, they put on much better shows than the WWE.

[Joe Sick]

I don't really think it is a niche. It is about trying to expand to possibly new viewers and most importantly, the merchandise...where the real money is made!! (subtle movie reference)

Is this the reference to which you refer?



WWE is definitely the worst. ECW has got to be better than that. TNA is kinda cool, but some of their heat might be beat down by the return of ECW.

Kurt Angle won a gold medal in the 96 olympics, and he is in pro wrestling. Go figure.

I hope that TNA gets big enough that it will challenge WWE in a ratings war. ala the Monday Night wars back in the late 90's.
