I was channel-hopping again the other day, and WWE was on Sky. I saw this guy called Rey Mysterio 'fighting', and it really grabbed my attention.
Now I'm not a fan of wrestling, as most of you will know. I've always known it's scripted, and the idea of large sweaty men groping each other doesn't appeal in the slightest.
But this guy was one heck of an athlete/acrobat, flying around the ring like a chimp on acid. And I thought it was fantastic.
Even in a pre-planned bout, to pull off those moves at that speed takes some doing. The guy has my utmost respect.

Um, they change the camera angle during the day time WWE shows because they're not allowed to show graphic violence at that time. They are actually being hit with a real steel chair, and it DOES hurt (although not as much as they make out, but it does hurt, believe me)

Tell me about it, I never liked the change, ruined the character.
Remember Armageddon 2000 (Hell In A Cell) and there were posters all hinting to a possible return to the darkside for the Undertaker? Then as his music played there was the familiar gong sound of old and his music was different, see how many people cheered!? How dissapointed was I when the crappy bad behind came out acting all koo.
Darn. Minsitry of Darkness come back, well actually any good faction will do really not like this rubbish Team Canada type people we have going about.

You and your stupid views Ant :D
Undertakers character was better back then, as "The Undertaker" with Paul Bearer. Now he has this "Badass" attitude which is boring now.

Nah, that character was just sick. It was only good when someone was whipping his butt, which happened quite often when Stone Cold was around. {:)

The Undertaker was better when he was really The Undertaker.. all in black with long hair and a white face. He looks like a gimp now, and he's getting a bit out of shape, too.

That is really enoying when that happens, or they look the other way when he does one (of many) of his amazing moves. My Dad just points the fake bits out, like why they change the camera angles when someone gets hit with a chair!

Yes, I remember now, now that you mention the brown suit.
But Paul Bearer was Kane's manager at HIAC '98, I'm sure of it, and Kane and Mankind were on the same page then, due to a plan made up by Vince to get Austin.
Kane pretended to be Undertaker and came out in a coffin and then Mankind sprung up from under the ring and attacked from behind - ah, that was such a good storlyine compared to some of the stuff that goes on now in the WWE.
