Who literally makes or made you change the channel when watching WWE/F television in the past.

Back in 99 my friends would come over for Monday Night Raw and we would switch back and forth to MNFootball during the NFL season. Give me some people that are or were instant channel changers for you.

In WWE Linda McMahon and/or Stefanie McMahon.

Linda bored me and still does. Stefanie's voice and on air personality was annoying as hell.

Now or then?

Back in '98-'01 I never used to change the channel...I only watched football on commercials or if the Niners were playing I would pay more attention to the game. In those years, I watched people who sucked basically because even if they sucked they still had a storyline going for them and their opponent(s) and the story was usually interesting.

Now, there are so many people who come out and really don't have anything going for them. While watching RAW, I usually change the channel during a La Resistance tag match or something like that. (I'd change during the lingerie pillow fights, but I'm a perv.) During SD!, I change the channel when OJ or Heidenreich, or most of the cruisers are on except Paul London.

honestly the divas used to be a big channel changer for me. i didnt mind watching them wrestle or talk, but i really don't support the WWE expanding their fanbase by objectifying women through bra and panties matches and bikini contest and lingerie pillow fights.

dont get me wrong, i loooove the divas. stacy keibler is probably the most beautiful girl in the world in my book right now (im single) but i really think that a lot of the stuff they pay the girls to do is degrading, not only to them and to women but to wrestling. i would love to see the girls who are on the shows develop some good wrestling ability, because i have absolutely no problem with girls wrestling, it hink its great. Christy seems to be making some great progress and trish works well in the ring, Molly was a very talented wrestler but they dumped her.
for goodness sake, teach stacy to wrestle!!!! i would love her even more!

Same as above. Anything, absolutely anything that involves the Divas. As soon as they come towards the ring it's my "bathroom break & raid the fridge" moment.

trish is just great. shes great in the ring and great on the mic and ridiculously good looking. they need more girls like her. maybe one or two backstage to interview and talk, like maria, but to have so many girls divided between two WRESTLING programs and have only 2 of them wrestle is ridiculous. if there is only going to be 2 contenders for the womens title then there shouldnt be a womens title.

Blitzkrieg · 05-25-2005, 06:56 PM

It seems to me like WWE is doing just the opposite right now...another diva search is coming and I don't think they are trying to find a wrestler chick.

I love Melina though...I could totally see her wrestling in the Women's Division at some point in her career.

No one makes me change the channel while watching wrestling. WWE is better now than it's ever been (including 1998). Business is booming and I love WWE!
