:lol what the hell? was that intentional?

Folks act like wrestling was always the "Attitude Era" it was at best a 5 year period of wrestling. Don't get me wrong, I love the Attitude Era, but not because people bled and cursed, but because they did truly interesting things at the time. Most of it wasn't even pushing the PG rating.

This was one of my favorite era of wrestling and also the last time period I paid much attention to wrestling.

I need to find some DVD's to buy or rent.

sadly even this is somewhat ruined, all the WWF scratch logos are blurred (of which there are many in a scene), music edited to stock music if they dont have the rights for it, cussing bleeped, signs in the audience blurred, hell they even blur austins middle fingers on some dvds now...

This is really disappointing information. I have been reading some of the Wrestlemania reviews on Amazon that confirm all edits as well

Yeah, I wouldn't mind the new era of shit if i could still watch my golden Attitude era. But they have even fucked that. Fucking McMahons. Fucking revisionism. Fuck it. I just want my man soaps.

she says wrestling is a soap opera, do you agree?

Is it odd that the only thing that stuck out in this to me is that part of her "plan" is to stop the income tax increases from happening this year?

 

[Meier]

My brothers and I always used to call wrestling a soap opera for dudes. That was never more apparent than during the HHH-Stephanie McMahon days.

I kind of miss watching wrestling.

Of course it is, thats what makes it entertaining. The matches are rarely entertaining by themselves. It's the drama around it, as corny as it often is. Very few matches are good enough to stand alone with no need for the soap opera story the build it up.

Yeah me too.

Yup, the stories are better than the matches.

I like the term "rope opera."

If parental ratings determine the quality of a show, than why is it is a struggle to have people watch impact here every thursday?

Watching this reminds me of what I love (using the word "love" loosely) about campaign ads.

"Here's the McMahon Jobs Plan! First, cut spending! Second, balance the budget! Finally, stop income tax increases!"

That's not an f'n "plan" you asshat! That's like me coming on and saying, "My detailed plan fro being president is simple. First, not fuck shit up. Second, fix the country. Finally, do stuff so you have more jobs!"

Has there ever been somebody who came on TV and was like, "I want to increase spending, I want to make the deficit bigger, I want to spend more than we bring in, and I want to tax the hell out of you!"

Do you have a point?

 

[Salazar]

That politics tends towards the banal, not to say the tedious. Political advertising, at any rate.

As opposed to fuckin' wrestlin fuck yeah.

Because they don't determine the quality of a show, but they can influence it. Being able to add certain kinds of content to any kind of media is of course going to affect the result. And for a form of entertainment that features a large amount of violence (even if it's "faked"), having more mature orientated content can work very well.

what the ****???

Isn't that what people want?

I don't know, it just seems pointless to counter an example of political ad cliches, with political ad cliches in a different color
