Okay, as you all know I like watching WWF. I like it a lot. Otherwise, why would I watch it?? But I don't love it-for quite a few reasons.
Before you read the rest of this post you must understand that I am a Christian.
Okay, why do I like WWF??
1. Matches-this is the main reason for watching WWF. I am in awe every night at how normal men can achieve incredible feats. I mean-I can't do an overhead suplex on my younger brother, let alone somebody weighing over 200 pounds!
Matches such as TLC and Hell In The Cell are great, as they are exciting and interesting. Rivalry matches are good, but can just turn into an all-out fight.
I especially enjoy watching single matches. Not too sure, but I enjoy studying their abilities in one-on-one matches.
2. Storyline-I like the talking backstage and in the ring. It makes matches more exciting to have a plot to it.
3. Favourite wrestlers-as with most sports, I have a favourite wrestler(s). My faves were Too Cool. Whenever I found out that they were on Raw and Smackdown-I was happy. When I found out that they were in a big match (title matches, rivalries etc,) I was felt even happier!
I loved watching Too Cool dance to the ring-and dance afterwards!
Now Grandmaster Sexay (my overall fav) has been fired, which is saddening. But I still support Scotty 2 Hotty-even though he doesn't dance as much. {:)
4. Comedy-the WWF can be rather funny at times, and I have laughed at many things before. It's entertaining at times, and a lot of fun.
Now this is all great. But there are many things I do not like about the WWF. They maybe small-but I don't like them.
1. The use of sex-Yes, it's okay to have beautiful women on WWF. That's great. I also don't mind them being scantily clad. But there is one thing that really got me-when sex was used.
Remember the Trish-Mr McMahon angle?? Disgraceful. I hated it. For one, if my parents had seen any of it, they would never have let me watch it again. Every night the WWF risks getting me banned from watching it.
The Mr McMahon-Torrie Wilson angle. Although funny in places (thanks to SCSA and Angle,) came to a disgusting end. Again, I had to change the channel in case my parents saw!
2. Backstage brawls-Why don't I like these?? I don't mind hardcore matches, but someone attacking someone else backstage is pointless, and hardly any skill is used in it at all. Remember when Austin hit Regal over the head with a pipe?? My parents saw that, and it took me weeks to persuade them to let me watch it.
There is one thing I have never ever forgiven the WWF for, and that is the Ministry Of Darkness.
It made people think worshipping the devil was cool!! It was vile, sickenining, and damn frightening for many people. All the sacrficing, hurting, hanging-all of it, was disgraceful.
I am extremely glad that I wasn't watching WWF when the Ministry was an angle.
So overall-I like WWF. I don't love it, and that is because of the reasons above. I like the matches, the excitement, some of the storylines and the comedy. I don't like the sex, the backstage fights and...well, the Ministry. I hope you can understand my point of view, and I would like to hear some of your thoughts.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

D'you mean baptised (as in your own choice,) or when you were christened as a baby??
You don't have to go, but it's recommended.

Ok so in the Trish/Vince angle i only changed the channel once but Vince as you said IB is way to old.
I hate screw jobs. You know it is going to happen and you just feel that they should win the match cleanly.
Vince is to old to be getting up to dirty business.... Jet, don't lie, you would do anything to see TRISH!!!
I agree with Ant bout Trish / Vince angle if my parents saw it i would never be able to watch wrestling again and it was sick i did have to change the channel as well.
Hip hop drop.

Yeah-sometimes they're surprising (Trish slapping Vince at WM17,) and some can be obvious.

Damn right. Rock has never been to the top rope, and certainly is not what I would call a top class wrestler. There are many with a better ability out there.

Too many superbly talented wrestlers are not being used. Something needs to be done.
