So ever since subscribing to Sky Sports to watch F1 my kids have been watching WWE - before that it was highlights shows on Sky 1 only. Now it's 3 hours of Monday night Raw and 2 hours of Friday Night Smackdown ( watched on Tuesday and Saturday respectively ). We also watched all the pay-per-views in the last 12 months.

So reasonably big fans and lots of debate as we all have our own favourites!

Currently The Rock is WWE Champion having beaten CM Punk twice. John Cena won the Royal Rumble so challenged Rock for the title at Wrestle Mania ( which is on April 7th ). However he agreed to put his ticket on the line against CM Punk on Monday night Raw this week - with the winner going to the match with the Rock!

I won't spoil it by saying who won but the match has to be among the top 2 or 3 I have seen in the last 12 months of watching. It was a good clean fight, back and forth, no interference awesome entertainment. The result did split the family a little as was inevitable

And yes I do know it's all scripted and I can now acurately predict the outcome of a good 70-80 percent of matches ( a big name loses a big fight then will obviously win next time out against a smaller name etc ) but think the story writters do a better job than the Eastenders writers!!

Peace to all

I used to watch wrestling at the auditoriom here and even though I knew it was choreographed I enjoyed the matches.   My mum and aunt knew the original 'Gorgeous George' and I met Man Mountain Mike and a couple others.

What disappoints me is the Olympic committee is considering removing Greco-Roman (real) wrestling from the Olympics while they keep such sports as....Table Tennis ....what are they going to add as a replacement.........  video games and running to the fridge during adverts!

  Greco-Roman/Pahlevi  wrestlers are athletes but the Big Time steriod hulks.    Andre the Giant, Jessie Ventura, Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Man Mountain Mike, Irish Pat Riley etc, etc,..... I'm not sure what you can  call them other than enterainers.

while it is undeniably fun to watch.....

that is show wrestling and nothing  like the Olympics or the intenational wrestling championships.

I watched that match too. Easily one of the best matches I've seen in a long time on WWE. I'm really excited for Wrestlemania this year.

@Darnasian Yeah me too. Happily it comes in the Easter break so we can all stay up for that one too :)

I watched the match myself and it was quite impressive. Probably one of the best matches I've seen in a while as you said. :)
