Wrestling.. What has it become?

So.. in the past few months that I've been in middleton, I've found myself with nothing better to do than to catch back up on what's been going on in wrestling. Now, it's no secret that back in the day (I'll say 98-20o1) I was wayyyy into wrestling. It was my thing, other people were into basketball, movies, shit like that.. nah, not me.. wrestling was my thing.

Anyways.. as I've been watching it in the past while, the first thing I notice is it's just not what it used to be.. I don't know if it's me finally growing up, or if it's actually worse.. but, I will say that I can still load up a few matches from the late 90's and still enjoy them.. not too many matches as of late fall into that category.

Over-all, the talent in the WWE these days is more entertaining, but I don't think that their main guys cut it like the guys back in the day. Triple H is still around in the main event, but your Cena's, Orton's, and Batista's just don't stack up to Stone Cold, The Rock, Undertaker (he ain't shit anymore.), and other main eventer back then. Mid-card on the other hand, I would have loved to see the exciting guys like CM Punk, Koffi Kingston, and Evan Bourne back then in the Attitude Era.

The one thing that annoys me the most about the current WWE has nothing to do with main eventers, or even talent. I can't stand that there's no SOLID tag teams, yet they have 2 set of tag titles. Who is there for tage teams that have been around the WWE these days for over 10 months? Miz and Morrison, and Cryme Time are all that come to my mind.. now turn back to the late 90s/early 00's.. the tag team division was ALL that. Edge & Christian, The Hardy Boyz, Dudley Boyz, New Age Outlaws, APA, Mark Henry & D'lo Brown, The Holly's.. and there was 1 set of belts. That's how it should be.

And the final thing that's getting on my nerves in the WWE right now is their stupid ass belts. Why did they have to ruin the ECW title. That silver peice of shit they've got now is fit for the pit. Bring back the old ECW belt. That's the smallest of my belt complaints, though. I don't mind the Big Gold (AKA The WCW Title) being used for raw, that belt was dope.. but what the fuck is Edge doing walking around with John Cena's belt? I mean, yeah, rock it for a couple promo's to get him pissed like The Rock did with Stone Cold's title, but you cant have Edge wearing a belt that spins.. it makes no since.. so just get it over with, and bring back the Attitude Era title. That, in my oppinion was the best title the WWE/WWF ever designed. (2nd being the Intercontinental title with the white strap.. that was dope too.)



*Edit: My bad, I just realized.. Triple H is the one who has the spinner belt now.. which makes even less sense. Has he even had a story line involving Cena this year?
