Chris.C Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 If you watch WWF then you will know that the NWO came back . I think that hulk hogan is a little to old to be wrestling . Im glad that Stone Cold kicked Scott Hall's a** . What are your thoughts on the NWO's return? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Well I think it gonna be like the Invasion.... except with the NWO... Pretty stupid, but it'll give wrestling a kick for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 [size=1] I don't watch wrestling. I think it is stupid and pointless.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 [SIZE=1][color=indigo]I believe the NWO originally [b]started[/b] in WCW, I'm pretty sure of that. I didn't know that they were "returning" cause I don't really watch wrestling anymore. But I always like the NWO, except for Hogan. That guy is far too old to be wrestling anymore. I'm going to laugh if he dies of a heart attack or something in the middle of a match. But Kevin Nash and Scott Hall were always my two favorite wrestlers. Even back when they were Deisel (Kevin Nash) and Razor Ramone (Scott Hall). Who's all in the NWO nowadays? Is Syxx (I believe that's how you spell it, the guy was once the 1-2-3 Kid) still in there? He was a neat wrestler too.[/SIZE][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Hogan is a LEGEND!!!! He's never too old to be wrestling!!! Hogan don't take no crap from nobody....... just look what he did to the amazing "get beat up throughout the match but then make a miraculous recovery and win" man Rock. He whooped his ***, and now he has to do comminity service just because he fought back. Rock shouldn't have been such a *****. NOtice Stone Cold didn't take any crap. He got in there and whooped ***, but the Rock was a different story, he did so well that he nearly got crippled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Bringing in the nWo was a very controversial political maneuver. Hall, Hogan and Nash were both notorious for pulling strings in the back in order to benefit themselves. Right now, guys like Edge and RVD are probably biting their nails, knowing that they won't be getting a main event push anytime soon with the arrival of the nWo. I've heard that Scott Hall is already in hot water for approaching other wrestlers and telling them that he's going to kick out of their finishing moves. However, the ratings for SmackDown proved that the nWo are a success. Heck, it almost scored as high as RAW. Anyway, I hope that they bring in Shawn Micheals, Xpac and Scott Steiner but don't let in a bunch of bums like they did in WCW. And despite what you may think of Hogan, the guy is in phenominal shape for his age and is still pretty entertaining. I'm glad that he's able to end his career in the WWF.

Guest Hikaru Ichijyo Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Well since I am a wrestling fan, and I did grow up watching Hulk Hogan, Diesel(Kevin Nash) and Razor Ramon(Scott Hall) I am really glad to see them back even if the question of Hogan being too old comes up. I think this wrestlmania will be probably the best in years!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BOBB Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Telling me Wrestling is fake is like telling me The Simpsons are cartoon characters... :rolleyes: Anyway, when my friend first told me that the NWO was going to WWF, I was a bit worried cause I know what they are capable of. I was a big fan of the NWO war (White/Black vs. Wolfpack). It kept me at the edge of my seat. Espicially when WCW wrestlers were caught in the middle, like Goldberg. But anyway, NWO is gonna be a GREAT addition to the WWF, although it's nothing but cheating. That's a real burn.:flaming: Well, lemme just say: NWO aren't gonna bring nothing but hell to the WWF.

Cibo Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 Would love to see all of you who think its 100% fake to get into a ring and have a match with one of them like RVD. Then tell me how fake it is. :) And as far as the NWO is concerned...I liked them better when they invaded the WCW and when they were a force to be reckoned with.

Nerdsy Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 [COLOR=deeppink]I feel that bringing back the NWO is the equivilant of bringing back the Four Horsmen... It might work for a while, but it'll get boring quickly. Nash hardly does any work in the ring... [QUOTE]Hey, don't get me wrong, Nash is a genious. Not many people can take 30 seconds to perform a punch and use it over and over again as a move.[/QUOTE] Hall is an alchoholic (last I heard) and he ticks the brass off way too much. Hogan is a great mic worker. He's the only member of the NWO I like having back in the WWF. Although he can't wrestle all that well... [QUOTE]My grandmother can drop a leg better than Hogan.[/QUOTE] I see that this is a way to bring the WWF out of the ratings doghouse, but in the long run, it could very well put the company out of buisness. Remember WCW? They used the NWO WAY too long, and relied on older wrestlers. Look where they ended up. Okay James, I hate to be doing this, since everything I say will probably be chewed up and spit out... ^_^'' Wrestling is not 100% fake. Sure, the outcome is predetermined, but the wrestling is usually spontaneous. "Sissys"? Bahm most of the time they wrestle with injuries that would keep people in others sports out for a season. Take Mick Foley, for example. This guy wrestled with an injury that forced Bill Goldberg to retire from football. Have you ever seen his infamous "Hell in a Cell"? There is no way a sissy could have done that... And the Undertaker wrestled that with a broken foot. Triple H tore something in his leg (quadricep?) and wreslted for 5-10 minutes in unbearable pain. And I don't think over-preened sissys would take a stink-face form Rikishi... :P [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jabroni3:16 Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I for one enjoy haveing the nWo back, as long as it doesn't go into the White versus Red crap that made me want to watch WWF over WCW. As for the fake comment, the ring and the matches are the only things that are fake, the falls are real, the blood is real (even though most of the time they make themselves bleed), the injuries are real (well most of them anyway). All i have to say is, spend a day in the ring, learn some moves and learn how fake wrestling is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the industry in such a narrow way, then it's bound to appear simple. Look at General Hospital. Is it fake? You bet. How seriously do people take it? Very much so. I'll bet that there's many people that won't miss a freakin' episode or whatever you call one of the shows. If you were a true fan and saw the blood that these guys spill and the effort that they put into their performance you would see it as how I do. When Triple H tore his quad and finished his match, it was easy to see that wrestling is a way of life for that man. Do you call that a sissy?! Do you?!! He's not a sissy!! :) Seriously though, the pain he felt was real and the love he had for the business was apparent. And for all of those who use the"it's fixed" thing, let me make something clear. Bookers don't just flip a coin and decide who wins. Pushes and marketing are determined by work ethic and crowd response. Before anyone makes judgements, it'd be best to look at the industry from the deeper standpoint and see past all of the "circus-like antics" hype. In short, um, I don't take wrestling seriously.
