Has wrestling these day's lost it touch? I enjoyed the days of The UnderTake, British Bull Dog, Ultimate Warrior. Now days it seems rather terrible.

I grew up watching studio wrestling with my Father in the days of Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Bobby Bachlund, Jimmy Superfly, The Bulldogs, The Somoans, Crazy Lou Albino, Fred Blasie, ect..... I can't say if it has lost its touch or not. I think in the old time fans, we just don't get into the extreme hype and trash talk that they do today. I tend to think it is still the same wrestling, its just that our tastes have changed. I toon in now and laugh, because it is all pyrotechnics, loud music and trash talk, I say shut up and get in the ring. Also, going back 20 years ago, you could have a gentleman be a good guy that wasn't loud talking and in your face. Now, they just get shuffled aside.

Yupp!! Wrestling nowadays are terrible. And it's all because of Presiden McMahon now, crazy and stone head. But for me, wrestling legend that cannot be substitute and challenge by other wrestler is The Ultimate Warrior. The Warrior will always rule ..... ;-)

I think wrestling has lost a bit of its touch. It's still good to watch but the performers like The Rock, Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, made it more lively and exciting.

No. I don't think it has lost its touch. It is more entertaining now. It has better storylines, then back in the day, but overall it is better now. Wrestlers wrestled more back in the day, and talked less.

I don't think that wrestling has lost the craze.. I am watching wrestling from more than 14 years and i still watch.. There are few very good wrestlers like Batishta, John Ceena, etc. now days.. And think that wrestling is still rocking.

Wrestler - Hulk Hogan, wwf wrestling
The good old days. I use to be a faith follower of The Hulk, Ultimate Warrior, Britsh Bull Dog, Bret Hart, Kevin Nash and so on. It really has changed so much now and it's not as good any more. I basically quit watching when the WWF stopped and now they have all these other ones with people on them I don't even know. some of the old wrestlers are still there likt booker T., shaun michaels, and the big show but its not the same

I did enjoy old wrestling. I still watch wrestling. Among the new wrestlers, there are few that can grab your attention. These guys are rocking at the moment and as I can see they are hardworking too. HHH, batista, chris benoit, Rob van dam, boby lashly these guys are really good wrestlers. Among the oldies, we still have the Undertake, Kane, Big SHow, HBK Shawn micheals,ric flair. Hulk hogan, rowdy piper does pay visit sometimes.
