Any WWE fans here?

I have been watching the classic AWA shows on ESPN Classic though. I was one of the few that really liked the AWA.

I watch those too. I used to like the AWA before Verne Gagne let all of his talent go to the WWF. While I'm not a fan of Eric Bischoff, it makes me roll my eyes when I read/see all this junk about Vince crying because the WCW was trying to run WWE out of business. It was exactly what Vince did to the AWA, Crockett and the NWA, Georgia wrestling, Stu Hart's Stampede wrestling, Tunny in Toronto, etc. The NWA just had a 60th anniversary show here in Atlanta this weekend and I can only imagine how bad it was...they put it in Philips Arena for Pete's sake and the main event was Tommy Rich vs. Abdullah the Butcher...great main event if it were 1980. And the NWA champion was even on the bill...he was at the Ring of Honor ppv. How bad is that to have an anniversary show, rent an arena, and then let your "world" champ no-show it. Sad. WWE wouldn't let Flair attend to be inducted into the NWA Hall of Fame...if I were Naitch, I wouldn't want to go endure some podunk ceremony like that after what Vince did for him at WM24.

Those were some classics. Don Muraco, Iron Shiek, Adrian Adonis, Bob Orton and others. I check that program out a couple times a week if there is nothing else on at 10pm which is often even though I have 250 channels .

Yeah and wasn't Adonis like the size of 2 Dusty Rhodes all of a sudden in the AWA? Same with Dino Bravo. Wow they got flabby real quick after leaving the old WWF.

He looked like a different wrestler than the Adrian Adonis who was in his first stint in the AWA. He got real fat.

So, who's watching the draft on Raw tonight? Rumors have Cena and Umaga going to Smackdown, while Mysterio and Batista will most likely go to Raw. Cena wasn't working out on Raw so a switch makes sense.

There is not room for HHH and Cena on Raw plus they are going to battle it out in a couple weeks. I could see him fighting Batista and others since Undertaker is gone. Can someone please dump that annoying sceechy voiced Vicky Gurrerro her voice makes my skin crawl.

Am currently watching the 3-hour WWE Draft episode on RAW, the RAW brand got Rey Mysterio & CM Punk while Jeff Hardy got drafted by SmackDown! to re-unite with his brother Matt to reform the Hardy Boyz.

[Sonic Raider]

THe Hardy Boyz reunion is short-lived, Matt Hardy has been drafted by ECW and since he is the WWE United States Champion, that title will come to ECW as well.

RAW & SmackDown! swap play-by-play announcers

Jim Ross goes to SmackDown! & Michael Cole goes to RAW

[reznors edge]

what? JR on SD makes no sense. He's been on Raw from the begining. I'm in CA so I have to wait a little to watch. Hardy to SD might be good.

I am in Cali but I have Dish Network so we get the East Coast feed on most networks.
