WWE Raw celebrates 15 years with renewal

that i didnt know and thanks for letting me know. i searched and could never find anything but i never use amazon so maybe thats why. i didnt want the nwo back. nobodoy knows how to bring them back. if u want to bring them back u have to bringthem back EXACTLY how they came. but all the interest characters are gone. shawn michaels is so high up on his god horse that he wont even do the dx sign properly. it would be kind of funny if stone cold did the turn a la hulk hogan and became stunning steve austin again lol

wrestling lost its juice once the rock and stone cold left. the monday night wars was the best. dx stone cold the hart foundation, nwo. vince mcmahon will be the downfall of wrestling. stone cold is my fav wrestler and he was a MAJOR part of wwe winning and wrestling being as popular as it was. but NWO we all know was the most popular thing is wrestling history. why has VINCE not released a dvd? CAN YOU SAY EGO? NWO is what kicked his ass and he refuses to put together a dvd. the hulk hogan turn had to be the greatest thing in wrestling history nothing more shocking.

and chris jericho (who i was a fan of just before he initially went to wwe and while he was there and the FIRST undisputed champion) return is lackluster and boring. he keeps saying stupidness on the mic. he needs to return to being how he used to be hes just saying a whole bunch of stuff and hes puttign me to sleep kind of like watching an ultimate warrior interview

I stopped watching wrestling a couple years back, right around the time Chris Jericho left. Though him returning recently hasn't caused me to start watching again -- besides the fact that it's much more "stupid" entertainment than it used to be (I'd classify the more classic stuff as "silly", in a cartoon-y kind of way), I'd just much rather be watching "Heroes" or "Life" or "Chuck" or "How I Met Your Mother" or "Samantha Who" or just about anything else on Monday nights. :P

Good luck to you, WWE and the 15-year-old RAW, but I don't miss you! Heh.

Did a different person write the second and third paragraph?

Vince McMahon has toiled for a very long time to prevent wrestlers from unionizing, so I have no doubt he would find any way possible to avoid going anywhere NEAR union guys. If there were ever a modern poster industry for the usefulness of unions, pro wrestling might be it.

I remember a Bret Hart interview from a few months ago where he said that the janitors at the venues get better venues than the wrestlers. So yeah, probably no Guild members working for them.

No unions in wrestling!

I have not watched wrasslin' ("professional" wrestling) in years, but I remember when RAW first started. I was either 9 or 10. Ahh fond childhood memories :).

The funniest thing about wrasslin' is it is basically a soap opera for men. Replacing Person X's husband sleeping with the neighbor lady, with Wrestler X wanted to beat the crap out of Wrestler Y because he called him dumb.

Raw is a goofy show, but it can be entertaining. Angry Vince McMahon rules.

Fake? Of course. Scripted? Define scripted.

Undoubtedly Wrestling has scenarios laid out as to how things are supposed to go, although sometimes the details aren't even told to all of the participants (see Bret "The Hitman" Hart and the Montreal Screwjob) but there's a difference between that and the sort of script that TV shows have. Even if there are detailed scripts prepared for wrestling shows, I am willing to bet that the writers aren't covered by the WGA, in much the same way that the guys who write Drew Carey's material on "The Price is Right" or "The Power of Ten" aren't covered by the Guild.
