QUOTE(aceecards @ Mar 14 2006, 06:32 AM) All time great Vern gagne is being inducted into HOF!! I never saw Vern wreslte, but as owner of the AWA he DESTROYED wrestling's popularity in SF and AWA in general back in the early/mid 80s. The old geezer couldn't kept Hogan, Okerlund, and the Road Warriors cause he was SOOOOO cheap. He was also famous for screwing the fans with his CONSTANT advertisement of fake lineups knowing full well that the wrestlers were fired, not available, injured etc. Furthermore, the "fake" title changes" in each city (only to have the commissioner reverse the decision on TV the next week) burned the fan base to the ground. I didn't see the Hall of Fame part on TV...I doozed off for 10-15 minutes.

QUOTE(jaderock @ Mar 14 2006, 06:49 PM) But seriously, the effects are what the parents allow - it's their responsibility. The show DOES have at least a PG rating (I never pay attention). I do remember back in 1998-2000 when kids were getting in trouble for telling girls/adults to go "---- it" which was a DX catch phrase! So yes wrestling CAn effect our youths, but so does other things like rap/heavy metal, video games, movies etc. You are correct all of those things are having a negative impact on our youth, so does having lockdoor parents (two working parents). Unfortunately it is the state of our world. Can't afford two cars and a big house without both parents working, unless one has a really great job. I agree that a parent has to be involved, but can a parent control what movie their kid goes to see or every moment during their day at school or home. No. I am just not getting it. Like horror films. I love a good horror films, but they have gone over the edge with movies like House of 1000 corpses, Devil's Rejects, Saw, and Hostile. How much violence and torture (etc.) do we want to program into us and our children. It has gotten to the point where in order to solve differences we pull out a 9mm and shoot someone, as opposed to settling differences by talking, or worst case punching. Acting out, that throwing urine on your boss when you have a disagreement is the right thing to do, is just very immature and classless on the McMahons part. Especially on TV (a virtually limit free environment) where children who do not understand, can watch it.

Im only 21 but some of my favorite wrestlers come from the older days that I was able to watch...Tito Santana,Snuka,Doink( ),Luger,Yokozuna,Brutus the Barber,Greg Valentine,and of course the Bushwackers QUOTE(jaderock @ Mar 14 2006, 06:58 PM) Most younger folks didn't even know wrestling existed before Hulk Hogan which is a shame. Pro wrestling history is rich with regional stars and territories. I grew up with Ray Stevens, Pat Patterson and Pepper Gomez in SF! And nothing has ever kept me from watching wrestling.
