I haven't bothered with the WWE since it became shit. So like 1998.

If you haven't watched it since 1998 (when it my opinion it was just when it was starting to get good) than how do you know it is still shit? 2000-2005 were the best years by far but right now it's at a very high peak, it's starting to be fun again.
 
I heard it went from a multi-billion dollar to a million dollar one.

It was never a multi-billion dollar company, it was merely a billion dollar company until around 2008, which was also around the time that Vince McMahon legitimately gave away a million dollars on a week to week basis, but there's very little reason to believe that it was ever billion dollar company as articles have said this could have been said just to make Vince look richer with Donald Trump so they could actually to the battle of the Billionaire storyline. This isn't to say that things have gone down, as a matter of fact, this years Wrestlemania grossed more than any Wrestlemania in history, beating last years record. Nobody could've expected for the company to remain a billion dollar company after the Ratings War with World Championship Wrestling ended. Things are looking up for the company as a whole, oh and a Wrestling Be The Booker is where you make your own promotion that can either use actual wrestlers or fictional ones that you self-created then create a show. It has story-lines, segments between characters and matches, the match are move for move recapping of what occurs and for me, the matches are usually anywhere between four to eight paragraphs, though once in a Royal Rumble styled match, it was thirty-eight paragraphs. It isn't difficult to write the matches either, whenever you start getting the hang of it.

Ahh I see. But do you think it was a smart move to make the WWE wording mean nothing? And thanks for explaining the Booking thing for me! Sounds pretty neat!

I think that it was a smart move considering the fact that absolutely nothing has changed but it has now been made enabled for them to market themselves as more than just a wrestling company thus enabling for their movies, and other endeavors to stretch out to people besides wrestling fans. If you listen than you'll notice often that people still call the company the World Wrestling Entertainment, John Cena, CM Punk, Triple H, and even Michael Cole have addressed it as such in the last couple of weeks. Nobody really used to call it the World Wrestling Entertainment before anyway it was always shortened as the WWE so it does no wrong but some good.

Yeah, but it still is primarily about Wrestling, so the meaning shouldn't have been removed. Just me though.
 
But it still is about wrestling, nothing has changed, if you punch in WorldWrestlingEntertainment.com than you're going to go to the same website, and they still call it World Wrestling Entertainment in general but they've made it technically the WWE. I really don't see the difference, the meaning is still there and more so than in years, they've been calling themselves wrestlers again thanks to CM Punk.
 
I just finished finding the results for every pay-per-view, and every episode of Impact Wrestling, Friday Night Smackdown, and Monday Night RAW, I haven't counted them altogether yet but I am pretty sure that Randy Orton is the top-guy by at least six or seven wins.
 
Wow, I bet that took a long while. I was honestly expecting him to either get hurt quite a bit or lose to Khali and be hurt still. And I imagine he'd still find a way to win against Christian come Sunday.
 
Really? I wasn't expecting that because they've been using The Great Khali as a jobber more than anything, it was only about a year or so back that Dolph Ziggler beat him in two minutes with a sleeper hold. I finished everything up and yes, Randy Orton is in the lead.



Win/Draw/Loss

Randy Orton - 25/1/8

Rey Mysterio - 24/1/12

Kofi Kingston - 22/0/15

Kane - 20/0/13

Christian - 18/0/10





Nobody in TNA has made the top-five, their highest is twelve victories which is shared by Robert Roode, James Storm, Sting, and RVD.

Because every time I hear something about it, it sounds shit. It's just idiots jumping around and playing out retarded storylines that a 5 year old could write.

Since I do a lot of business work on my computer, I always have the tab open for Off Topix. I guess to answer your question, I am an Admin here. Not that that's exactly 'work' as you have put it.
