The man has been through a lot of crap in TNA. The whole prince AJ crap, him wearing a turkey and reindeer suit, him in a mma match with fire Russo chants, him becoming Ric Flair Jr, and finally Claire Lynch.

Hey guys, Paris is hotter than Rory, but none of the women can top Lorelei.
They really should have built the entire company around him. He's a special talent that they've treated like like and taken for granted because he had loyalty to Dixie. He could and should have been one of the top talents of the past decade, and instead he's just another in a long line of wasted talent in TNA. Even more than Joe.

I got back into wrestling in the middle of Bobby's world tittle reign. I last watched when they still had the six sided ring around 2005 or when Eddie died. Has it really gotten better or worse?

So I'm deciding whether to go on a Smackdown event in August. If I can get some good seats, I'll probably make a new sign.

Guys stop making fun of Bo as the NXT champion.
I guess he needs to start cutting Star Wars promos like John Cena did that one time to get your respect.

Bo Dallas will never have my respect.
That wasted Rumble spot and short thing with Barrett could've went to a better talent. That NXT roster spot and paycheck he collects could go to somebody else.
Fuck dude, I'd rather see LUKE HAWX in Bo's spot. And he looks like a bald child that stole daddy's beard clippings and glued them to his face as a mustache.

It wasn't that great of a night. RVD vs Sting in a 10 second match followed by a 10 minute beat down, TNA building a cage to have a reverse cage match without testing how someone would get out of it first, TONS of production errors even for TNA. That whole first night of the new Monday Night War was a mess.

I wish they would've announced it at E3, just so Jack Tretton could've gone on stage and said "Yeah, the 60 minute free game trial that requires you to have a family member purchase a full game? We have that free for every user subscrised to PS Plus" *pause for THIS IS AWESOME-chants*

Hello, Wrassle-GAF. I've been lurking in this thread for some time now, and thought I should finally show my face!
Here's a quick backstory: I loved wrestling when I was a little Hulkster. Hulk Hogan. Ric Flair. Macho Man Randy Savage. The Ultimate Warrior. Hawk and Animal. Earthquake. Shawn Michaels (in the Rockers and also out). The Undertaker. Etc. I eventually grew tired of it right around the start of the "Attitude Era". Stone Cold didn't do much for me, really, and I moved on. I also mainly stuck with the WWF, though ventured into the WCW a little.
Throughout the years I tried getting back into wrestling every once in a while. It usually would end up that I'd see a PPV event, or a single RAW episode, and think to myself "This is the worst fucking thing ever". I believe one of the last times this happened was when I watched an episode of RAW where Hornswoggle (sp?) was revealed to be Vince's son? Or some shit? I don't know, it was just horrendous. But perhaps I didn't give things enough of a chance.
Fast forward to this past Wrestlemania. I watched it, still wasn't impressed. Watched RAW, still wasn't. But I stuck with it. I was feeling quite nostalgic, and I wanted to really like wrestling again, though the WWE was making that very difficult. For the past few months now, I've watched every RAW, Smackdown, NXT, heck even stuff like Main Event, etc. I've seen the PPVs, as well. And damn, if things aren't improving. I'm.........enjoying it (for the most part).
Daniel Bryan is simply fantastic, and a joy to watch. I only knew of him prior because of GAF gifs, but I understand the hype. He rocks my socks. The Shield are entertaining. AJ is awesome. I haven't gotten to see a ton of him due to his "concussion", but Ziggler is definitely moving up my list. I've actually grown fond of.. dare I say, MOST of the WWE roster. Not that there isn't some terribleness to go around, don't get me wrong. I'd be fine if 3MB and the Usos would just disappear. And Jack Swagger. Zach Ryder > those douches.
Anyways, I'd like to thank Wrassle-GAF for this. I don't think I would have been able to get through the initial period of "holy fuck this sucks" without GAF. I stuck with it. This thread is quite entertaining, and honestly, very informative. You get a different perspective on wrestling, I think, when you follow this thread.
My current fav-five:
Daniel Bryan
AJ
Dolph
Paige
Kane (?.............. depends on my mood and the match)
All-time? That's hard to do, but here's a list strictly born from nostalgia, when I was probably 8-12 years old:
Hulk Hogan
Ric Flair
Macho Man Randy Savage
Shawn Michaels
The Undertaker

This is a separate quick question I have: Is CM Punk actually good in the ring?
I've only seen a handful of matches of his, and the two he just had with Jericho and Del Rio seemed to be.......lacking. I want to like him more, truly. Was it just because it was Jericho and Del Rio that he seemed sort of......sluggish? He lacked energy, I felt.
I know there's a ton of CM Punk fans, so I'm not saying this to piss them off or anything, haha. I'm legitimately curious, as I've hardly ever seen any of his matches.

I like Punk, but I don't rate his in-ring work. It's the character and mic work that save him.

CM Punk isn't an "energy" guy. It's his psychology/storytelling, off the cuff interactions with people in the ring and fans, and his mic work that makes him special. He has a natural charisma, the kind that lifts wrestlers from "good" to "great," and is entertaining to watch as long as he isn't stuck with a toolbox babyface gimmick.
He also just came back from a vacation, give it some time.

Aight, thanks 
Yeah, just haven't seen enough of him. Just a handful of matches, and most of those just this past week, haha
Every wrestler needs to have the energy of Daniel Bryan, though. C'MON!

Here's a good match if you're a fan of Bryan, it's from his pre-WWE days;
Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) vs Tyler Black (Seth Rollins) - (ROH 07/26/08)
And yeah, Punk isn't the greatest in-ring guy, he's always been somewhat sloppy in his execution and, if it weren't for his understanding of structure and pacing, his charisma and storytelling, he wouldn't be anywhere near as big of a deal as he is today.
