Who here watch WWE wrestling?
 

American seems to be very much interested in WWE and I never watch a wrestling match(if it can really be called a "match") where you don't find it jam packed with crowd(men, women and even children too) even on regular weekly programs.


So my question are you a WWE fan(or was a fan in past)? did you ever watch it live? how was your experience?

in the past i was

I've heard people say it's weird live because there's no commentators talking shit all the way through it...

i watch it sometime when i am so stoned just for fun, it is just entertainment and show, same like american football, i dont see much difference :)

i loved watching it in the 80's when i was a kid. was pretty entertaining then. they make it more like a soap opera these days (way more so than it was), far too much talking and not enough wrestling so i can't really watch it now.

some of my favourites were, hogan (of course), brittish bulldogs, ricky the dragon steamboat. but looking back the heals where just as important along the way and were just as important. Tragic stories for almost all of them since then unfortunately...

1992.

The vintage year for WWF :pimp

i remember the sting flying down from the roof or something, good shit :thumbsup

Huge fan in the 90's.

80's and 90s was fun, not sure about now, stopped watching

Use to love watching Stone Cold and The Rock back in the day. Now it's just stupid.

I watch it once in a blue moon now. It is boring and predictable but the Dean ambrose character is interesting. Has The Joker mindset

Now it's just stupid i used to watch way back in early years.

The U.S. is of course a big market for pro wrestling (just like it is for all entertainment).

But the WWE sells out almost instantly when they tour Europe.

Also Japan has been one of the biggest proponents of pro wrestling for over 50 years. WWE can't even break into that market because the pro wrestling companies there are too big in Japan.

Puerto Rico and Mexico have similar HUGE pro wrestling fan bases with their own companies that are so successful that WWE can't really make inroads into their "territory".
Add Canada to that as well (Brett Hart and the Hart family are considered legit national sports heroes there).
