When did you first get interested in Wrestling?

[setsuyami]

Guess I landed myself in hot water. Not my fault that Ashley didn't seem real to me. She should at least know some old school at least that inspires today's music. Just saying.

I don't think I'm a Ashley hater, I just really her's. I think they should've sent her to developmental before putting her in the ring. Mic skills, I can say are a better than most divas. I will give you credit there.

I know I'm the one who takes ZERO prisoners when it comes to divas and yes it comes off as hating. Whatever. To each owns opinion.I watched women's matches from the old days when they weren't about being eye-candy. Call me old-school/hater/or whatever. But I'm very hard on the divas division because of how the standard was set in the WWE when it was in the "Attitude" Era and other times of wrestling. Look at it now divas division just doesn't bode with me well, so that's why I get bitchy and very hard on wrestling in the WWE espically with Divas.

And no I'm not calling out Katie Lea because it's very hard to find divas who are willing to do the goth look.

Going back to the Ashley model thing: I wasn't even hating on that modeling thing, the real think that got me was that where her brother and father competed in amateur wrestling. Someone would atleast think that if her brother and father have the amateur wrestling in the background you would at least think that she would have a background in it too.

Now this is where I'm hating. She stood out, yes but to me in a groupie kind of way.

That's all I'm saying because it's probably not going to be adknowledged, and probably be hate. Oh well back to watching Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori Episode 16 on youtube.

Here's Part Three of this episode:

hmm... the Attitude Era was the edgiest, most sexually-charged era ever seen in the WWE. if anything, the Divas' division has been toned down since then. i can't remember a time when Divas weren't eye candy except like, the 80s. and even then, they weren't considered "Divas."

You're not in hot water, there's just a counter argument to what you're saying. And as for the Attitude Era...remember the Kat or BB? Terri Runnels? The only time I recall the women not being eye candy was like in the late 80's early 90's (Alundra Blazye/Madusa, Bull Nakano, Bertha Faye, etc etc).

Edit:

It should be noted if you're talking about Trish/Lita, they were brought in as eye candy and that's pretty much what they're still considered, just with a bit more respect than most girls.

You lost me at the groupie thing though. Have no idea what you mean by that.

I was ten and I saw Shawn Michaels for the first time while channel surfing. He was glorious and I was hooked.

I watched WCW from time to time with my brother in the 90s. My favourite was The Wall.

Then I watched Royal Rumble 2000 with my friends, and that was pretty awesome, but only cause of the Rumble concept.

Then my brother got one of the old Rock tapes, and it featured Ministry Undertaker, who I thought was really cool. I bought SD2 for the Playstation, got to know all the wrestlers, and started watching just in time for the 2001 Royal Rumble. Me and a friend eventually got super invested in the Invasion angle, and we liked to design titan trons and pretend to be wrestlers in our back gardens and stuff.

I remained super-invested in wrestling for ages, and I thought it was a really big deal when my mum and dad let me stay up 'til midnight on Fridays for Raw. I had wrestling sleepovers and everything, and was super into the games.

I pretty much watched every show every week up until around 2007, when the TV schedule here got all muddled up. Now it's gotten to the point where I generally only watch the Melina and Cody matches/segments online. Although I watch the full NXT episodes, and have since the start of S2.
