Must say I´d watch to see them put a guy in that ridiculous get up and wrestle.

He'd certainly be a lot less bland than the majority of their current roster.

WCW already jumped it, I was waiting for the WWE to follow sooner or later after they took over WCW. Surprised they lasted this long!

 

[Alucard]

Whats next then huh? Hamlet? Captain Ahab?

 

[Math242]

hmm Jesus?

 

[SpecialKO]

Are you sure that's not just a cross-promo for the WWE gaming section of their website?

 

[General Specific]

Wrasslin' had not yet jumped the shark? I find that very hard to believe.

Slowly stopped watching when The Rock stopped wrestling. It was never the same.

The Robocop bit was so bad it was actually funny. Didn't WCW do something with Chucky (the killer doll) hosting the show at some time?

 

[Bowielee]

Feh, Wrestling jumped the shark when the Ultimate Warrior came on the scene.

I thought it jumped the shark, oh, back in the 1950's when it became a soap opera with fat men in their underwear.

The WWE did as soon as they bobbled the amazing opportunities they had after purchasing WCW. Rather than stage "dream matches" involving the biggest WWE stars versus the biggest of WCW's which would have made them who knows how much money, they flubbed it and had lesser named wrestlers lead the WCW "invasion. Then they stuck a Mcmahon family member at the head of each feuding faction and ruined it for good.

I'm still amazed they dropped the ball on that. WCW was still a hot commodity and Vince purchased it to shelf it? WWE was at it's best when they were forced to put thought into their programing due to the heat from WCW. Since they have no competition (TNA doesn't count) it's been unbearable to watch. And what they did to the once great ECW is just sad.

That was all due to McMahon's ego. HE couldn't have WCW guys go over his guys over any cirumstances.
