I know im not the only one to think this, but wrestling isnt really wrestling anymore, its more of a soap, i turned wrestling on and for the first 20 minutes all i saw was some wrestler speaking in the ring about some other wrestler, and then after a while the other wrestler came out, and then they were arguing, then a fight started, it took 20 minutes to get a pathetic fight, when i first started watching wrestling, it was about 5 minutes little talk in the whole show and the rest was wrestling. It still had a story to it, but now theres too much rubbish predictable story. And the fighting in heavyweight division are more pathetic than ever, no great fights like andre the giant and hulk hogan, and the wrestling back then was more wrestling that acrobatics. Wrestling is not what it used to be.

When you think about it people who still believe wrestling is real have got to be utterley stupid. The Rock ambulance thing, Kane being knocked into a burning skip by Shane and coming back the next week fine, they could at least give them a couple of weeks or so off to make it look a bit more realistic!

It looked cool but storyline wise i hate those sort of things. How are we meant to take it serious when a guy gets crushed in a car one week and then comes back a fortnight later whooping ass. Totally unrealistic.

Boy that was one of the best stunts ever! That was back when he was part of the nWo with Nash and Hall, however after they got fired for being injured and an idiot respectively he went on his own and became a face - to tell you the truth he wasn't really a heel, I remember the first time he came out the crowd were much louder than when Bret's music played on RAW this week

Hogan was a heel in that wasn't he? Or at least i think driving a truck into a car that supposedly had Rocky in was meant to make him a heel.

Hogan vs Warrior at WM6 was the best face vs face feud although Hogan vs Savage at WM5 was good also. What was the last decent face vs face or heel vs heel storyline? I'm thinking rock vs Hogan

I like Face Vs Face and Heel Vs Heel in some instances, mainly main event level stuff. But Rob Conway Vs Sylvain Grenier was dreadful.

After the last time they tried to make him face i'd be surprised if they were stupid enough to try and repeat it (actually no i wouldn't)

People don't like HHH plain and simple, he's an over rated piece of crap who has only gotten to where he is by screwing Steph and playing the backstage politics.

He's more likely to be the face yes. What I like is face vs face or heel vs heel, the crowd is much more 50/50 and it just seems to give the match a different edge.

If he did feud with Flair i am assuming Flair would be more of a face character wouldnt he?

Not sure when HHH is returning to TV. One things for sure, when he does he'll get a huge reaction like when he tore his thigh muscle and was out for 8 months. It'll be hard to make him a face straight away though if that is the plan, I suppose it'll depend on who he's feuding with. If it's Cena he'll be a heel, if it's Jericho a face. Can't really think of anyone else he'd feud with?
