Now a days, Im getting bored easily from WWE. I've been watching WWE for years and I got to admit WWE is getting worse. The only thing I like about is Wrestlemania. Its the only show thats worth watching. WWF attitude era had great entertaining wrestlers like Hitman, steve austin, Rock etc..I think WWE needs superstars that can bring back the charm.

Yes you are right.WWF was far more better with The Rock,Stone Cold,X-Pac, and Rikishi.Now good wrestlers are not dependable and limited in WWE. Rarely amazing things happens at WWE compared to WWF.

Yeah, I do agree. There were really good wrestlers back then. But its undeniable that the comedy brought by WWE is something we didnt have then. Although the storylines of WWE are so exaggerated..

It has seemed to be better than WWE. WWF had better characters and better people... Stone Cold, Chyna, Rock, DX, Undertaker - All version from beginning to American Badass, although present one is just as good,and so on....
Now the talent is very limited, storyliners are repetitive as they are sticking to people who are at the top all the time, basically hey keep putting someone in a storyline that they have been in with a couple of times before. So I think ma nbey giving someone else a chance would help beef up the storlyines.

I don't watch wrestling anymore but WCW with Sting, Goldberg, Hogan etc. was always my favorite.

Yeah, I agree with you, the WWF days were way more entertaining and the Attitude era took it to another level. I think things started to go downhill though, after the first draft which seperated Raw and Smackdown into seperate brands. Before this storylines would carry forward from Raw to Smackdown and I think this was much more entertaining.
The Rock and Austin were also very entertaining and single almost single handidly carried the WWE through the late 90's through to the early 00's.
Another reason for the WWE's decline is probably down to the fact that they just don't have any real competition anymore, so they don't have to be as good as they were before for people to still watch them.

It's true it isn't as good as it used to be. I've been watching wrestling since about Wrestlemania 7, and I've seen storylines rehashed and seemingly seen it all. If TNA can't step up their game and compete with the flagship show, Raw, it may be awhile before you see improvement. Last I heard, their ratings were about equivalent with ECW's. Still, I'll keep watching to see where the storylines go and hopefully it'll improve. If the writers would let more of the wrestlers have input in their characters, it could be better. If they don't try to make John Cena the next Rock or Stone Cold, it'd be better. I think we can all agree, he isn't up to their level. Let the actual wrestlers have more input in the matches, the finishes, etc., and it could very well improve.

Well thats what happens eventually you get sick of it. Most people do at a certin age. It does get repitive watching the same stuff over and over again. Its like a critic revewing every movie and giving one thumbs down when they said theyve seen it over and over.

This is very true figjam!
I was watching some old Raw footage from early 90's on youtube and its amazing how much things changed! There is still some wrestlers that put on a good show but nothing beats old Stone Cold stories!

This is very true, sure guys like Cena and Batista were cool for a bit but can't carry the company like Stone Cold and The Rock could or even Hogan in his prime, the thing is i don't know if anyone will come along as good as them, it might be awhile, Triple H been there forever and same with Undertaker and Kane and well 2 of the 3 are champs now but they are not as entertaining as Austin and Rock, i loved how they always had little segments like the rock's b-day with mankind and stone cold in the hospital beating up mcmahon, even DX was awesome back then

Yes, I think the same.
It's like the music, in nowadays lost the valor.
Some older wrestlers is the Spirit Today.
90% of the Best wrestlers take off from Wrestling.

i agree with you back then they had regular ladder matches and other main events not tag team main events and back then jeff hardy and matt hardy jumped off stages and ladders all the time
