Y'know, nowadays I often find myself asking myself, what happened to the WWE? It's just ever since the idea of the rosters came in, everything has gone downhill. Vince has fired some of the most entertaining wrestlers, for example, Viscera & Gangrel. Pathetic new wrestlers like Randy Orton and John Cena have come in when some of us, (example - me) could walk in their, and show real personality, cut a promo, start a storyline. Not just come in one day and decide to wrestle. The WWE needs entertaining superstars like The Rock and Stone Cold. They come in, cut a promo, and everybody knows why they're there. If some fool walks in, wrestles a match, then walks out, what's the use in that? The fans don't know what his purpose is! (I hope your getting all this. If not, read bits again.)

Now, a few questions:
Why is Stephanie the owner of SmackDown?
Why is Vince the CEO?
What happened to Linda McMahon?
Who the hell is Eric Bischoff?
Why fire wrestlers just because they're on steroids?

Another thing is changes. Too many changes have taken place lately; here are some that shouldn't have been made:
The SmackDown! logo. It's nice and modern, but what's up with that silver ring apron?!
The Heat look and music. They ruined it.
Al Snow. Where's head?
Edge and Christian splitting up.
The Dudley Boyz splitting up.
The Undertaker change
Kane's constant change of attire and obvious unburnt face. (It ruins the whole persona)

There are probably more but I can't think of them right now.

What I'm saying is remember 1999? The last year that WWF was great. It had good storylines, great wrestlers, The Brood, everything!

Darn. I had so much else I was gonna say but I've forgotten it all now. I guess that'll do for the time being.

...nuff said.

P.S) I'll post more later when it comes back to me.

the undertaker change was the worst thing.

and eric bisoff... right forget about spelling. was a bloke who nearly put the wwf (as it was called back then) out of buisness as he ran wcw, he did some dodgey dealing some things he could of got sued for, like shopwing clips of wwf raw with out permision... so he was hired cos he is very good idea thinker indeed.

Yeah I see I got a lot of response for the Eric Bischoff question which is a shame because it was supposed to be rhetorical. I guess it's not your fault, it wasn't obvious. But the steroids thing. As far as I know, just about every wrestler in the 80s and early 90s took steroids. Also, as we all know, Vince took/takes them himself!

Ahhh.....

When I started to watch WCW, Bischoff was one of the 'managers' of the company, along with plenty of other people, and I was informed that he had a past in the company as a various Championship holder, but I wasn't sure if it was true or not.

Then, in games such as WCW World Tour or WCW Revenge (which were both pretty mediocre to be honest), Bischoff was one of the fighters, who mainly used punching and kicking combos, which led me to believe that he was an actual wrestler in WCW. Although Vince always wrestles in games, doesn't he? :-)

Ah well, I've been proven wrong, but still... cheers for letting me know.

Hold on there, AJ. Bischoff's the guy who ran WCW into the ground, with debts of about £60m (that's probably wrong, that figure) He's never really wrestled (may have been in those JR-esque matches)

Vince hated him because he did tons of stuff against WWF. He gave away the results of Raw on live Nitro (such as Foley winning the title, once) Vince only brought him in to boost ratings. He's got no creative control, though, but that may change soon.

Why is Stephanie the owner of SmackDown?
There is an owner for each RAW and SmackDown - Stephanie the owner of SmackDown, and Eric Bischoff the owner of RAW. Don't ask why it's like that - it just is. :-D

Why is Vince the CEO?
*Looks baffled*

What happened to Linda McMahon?
*Looks baffled yet again*

Who the hell is Eric Bischoff?
Some former WCW wrestler/manager, that worked his way into the WWE through his friendship with Vince. Can be very, very, and I mean very, annoying.

Why fire wrestlers just because they're on steroids?
Exactly a question I asked when Grand Master Sexay was fired. Don't have a clue.
