People have been saying that for years.

They said it in 06, they said it in 07, they said it in 00, they said it in 01....ok so maybe the last one was a bad example.

They just lost their two biggest stars and their title. Plus there's the whole Adamle thing. I'm sure the title's coming back and maybe bringing the Big Show with it but still how can they expect it to survive in its post-draft state.

In order for someone to compile a list, wouldn't someone have to WATCH ECW? I think there is only two people in the world who watch it.

I actually enjoy it. Seems like less of the bs drama of the other brands. I was actually hoping they'd go a different direct and send some more of those freaks there though. I'm not a big fan of watching Kane / Big Show / Khali etc on the main shows. Andre the Giant was one thing, now they're a dime a dozen and take away from it when mixed.

Hopefully McMahon stays away this time, and no freak events bring him back. The story lines involving him got old years ago.

Not at all Randy Orton uses a ton of rest holds but no one ever says he has good psychology.

and please stop calling jeff a spot monkey its an insult to the real spot monkeys, the guy couldn't hit a SSP press to save his life, he routinely botches a damn hurricarana.

I really wish I would've won some of that money. You know how many hot latina whores you can buy with $300,000? Neither do I, but I would've found out!

I may have to take back what I said about ECW despite their woes it's kept me amused with only matches thus far into the show and solid action.

Lol at these posts.

Psychology is what made pro wrestling so great. The ability to tell a story using moves...too bad it's no longer an art form. People who say psychology is dumb or =rest holds obviously doesn't understand pro wrestling psychology. I guess I'll try to explain it as best as possible.

Those with great psychology understand how to build a match from the get go. You have to understand why wrestlers are doing what they are doing, why they're using certain moves, and watching them work on a certain body part. Psychology also involves a wrestler's ability to remember what part of his body has been worked on or what part of the body he's been working on. If a wrestler's back/leg/arm (insert body part) has been worked on for most of the match, it's important for that wrestler to remember to sell that "injury" throughout and towards the end of the match. Many wrestlers get a body part worked on for about 5+ mins and then a minute later, they're totally fine while a minute ago, they were writhing in near death pain and agony. Outside of that, there has to be a reason why a certain body part has been picked. If you wrestle a big man, you try to take out his legs...if your finisher is a leglock, you try to work on the leg etc.

Sorry but wrestling with little to no psychology = no common sense...even in the world of pro wrestling. You can't try to suspend belief when watching a match when it lacks common sense.
