Guest JMA Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I used to be a very frequent poster here at the Smart Marks. I won't say who, but I was (and still am) a HHHater. For personal reasons (read: bad storylines) I stopped watching wrestling and WWE. I'd been a fan almost my entire life and had rarely missed a show for a long period of time. I left during the time Lesnar went to Smackdown (with the title) and just BEFORE Triple H was awarded the former WCW belt. I watched RAW for the first time Monday. Some things I liked, some things I didn't. I've reviewed what has happened since I left and know the gist of it. But I don't know the SMART MARK gist of it. During the months I was gone what were the big stories here? Anyone banned? Any posters feuding? Is Triple H STILL holding people down? Who was fired and who was hired? Which angles are cringe worthy? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. I guess I haven't really learned anything. Well, except that I now know I can quit watching anytime. Later.
Guest candie45 Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Everyone hates HHH still, and according to reports, he says TE and Confidential are the cause of his unoverness. Sean O'Haire's commercial promos are to some the highlight of Raw. Mattitude and Team angle are liked. Test and hosses are hated. Raven, JustinCredible, and B2 (Bull Buchanan) have just been fired in the past week. Nathan Jones = new guy they are hyping.. hoss who injured Mattitude. Goldberg is probably going to be hired. (cringes) The idea is Angle v. Lesnar at Mania, as well as HBK v. Jericho, and presumably Rock v. Goldberg and Austin v. HHH. Vince and Bret are on speaking terms again. Um, I don't know what you wanted to hear but that's all I could think of.
Guest Mole Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 There was a rumor that Shane might come back to be GM of Raw.
Guest AndrewTS Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Cringeworthy: they are pushing Test again. Real-life girlfriend Stacy Kieber is his valet, and his gimmick is that he calls his fans Testicles. Jericho accidentally whacked her with a steel chair in a match last week on Raw after Test eliminated Jericho at the Rumble while HBK distracted him. HHH still sucks ass, but he has two green OVW grads who suck almost as bad as him to back him up. Ric Flair manages them, and isn't allowed to "WHOOOO" as it would steal HHH's precious heat. HHH also thinks he's the second coming of Ric Flair. WWE hired Steiner and are pushing him on Raw. He fucked up his Rumble match by doing Belly to Bellys about a million times and botching moves left and right. On SD, good matches continue to be the norm, with a tag team of Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin as "Team Angle," who are Kurt Angle's back up. Benoit is a top face. Good matches are on nearly every episode. Sadly, hosses are stinking up the shows now.
Guest The Mighty Damaramu Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Is he really not allowed to whoo? God dammit!
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 And one minor detail: Austin is coming back at No Way Out.
Guest D'Lo White Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Don't forget that D'Lo Brown now hates white people and is managed by Teddy Long.
Guest Anglesault Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 HHH also thinks he's the second coming of Ric Flair. Yeah, that's the scariest thing. It's kind of creepy, what with Flair being alive next to him.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I looved Raw when HHH was standing there in a suit with his flowing hair and the WCW belt over his shoulder, intimidating the boss with his flunkies. Flair looked like he either wanted to cry or beat his ass. I would pay to see HHH strut.
Guest AndrewTS Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 HHH also thinks he's the second coming of Ric Flair. Yeah, that's the scariest thing. It's kind of creepy, what with Flair being alive next to him. It's okay. That's Flair's body alright, but his soul isn't occupying it. It's a mere shell. I think HHH SWALLOWED HIS SOUL LIKE SHANG TSUNG!!
Guest Bling-Bling Buchanan Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Which angles are cringe worthy? You REALLY don't want to know. Just be glad you didn't have to suffer through them.
Guest AndrewTS Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Which angles are cringe worthy? You REALLY don't want to know. Just be glad you didn't have to suffer through them. Well, those ones aren't CURRENT, but he missed a lot of angles that...frankly...need to never be discussed again.
Guest MaskedDanger Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I'm dense and woefully uninformed. How did Nathan Jones injure Matt Hardy?
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 HHH fucked a corpse, and Dawn Marie married Torrie Wilson's father only to have him die on their honeymoon (this angle lasted pretty much the entire time you were gone).
Guest The Mighty Damaramu Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Hey I thought we were never going to bring that up the "angle that will never die but was trapped at the bottom of the sea under an avalanche but will rise when they do nuclear testing to reign terror on downtown smackdown" again.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I'd say it's a good time to come back to the WWE, but start out only watching Smackdown for a few weeks. Angle is Champion, Benoit is a huge babyface, Lesnar isn't sucking nearly as hard as he used to, and Undertaker just came back but he's wrapped up with the Big Show. They start to make a God Push for Albert (now A-Train,) but because there is some decency in this world it was aborted in the past few weeks. Kurt Angle now has his own miniature stable of amateur-turned-pro guys, and that storyline has been kicking ass recently. The guys are pretty decent. The only downside is a couple of hosses are hanging around the midcard squashing all non-Mysterio cruisers, but they may get laid off soon (the hosses, not the cruisers) the way things are going. Watch Raw when you realize why you like wrestling again and can bear to witness some guys you like never being allowed to advance. Although Jericho look like he's entering a long term feud with Shawn, and may actually get some rub from it.
Guest JMA Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 I was very surprised to hear that Angle is World champion of the Smackdown! brand. Very happy as well. I would have LOVED to see Anglesault's reaction.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Anglesault's reaction was kind of a "That didn't suck" reaction, although he says that he's actually happy right now. They're hyping up for Brock vs Angle, and making both guys look pretty good. Lesnar's Goldberg streak was ended by Big Show and Heyman, and Lesnar was turned face at the same time, and is still being pushed like crazy. But his matches have definitely improved. Angle is like the new Ric Flair, making guys look good while going over them at the same time.
Guest EternallyLazy Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 Dawn Marie, Al Wilson, and Torrie Wilson were involved in what is probably the worst feud of the year last year, up there next to the dreaded HHH/Katie Vick/Kane storyline. In case you haven't heard anything about it... Al Wilson fell for Dawn Marie. They married... and on their honeymoon, Dawn fucked Al to death... no lie! Torrie and Dawn then got into a catfight in front of Al's body at his viewing, which lead to their match at the Royal Rumble... and sadly, it looks as if the feud is continuing. Angle and Benoit had the match of the year so far at Royal Rumble... just unfuckingbelievable... a match that Angle won cleanly, but made Benoit into a megaface at the same time... something that hasn't happened before with Benoit, and hopefully WWE will capitalize on the situation Angle vs Lesnar as the main event of Mania is set in stone WWE put on the RAW X anniversary special, teasing the return of former superstars... something we were all excited about. But sadly the show was only written days in advance and turned into a total disaster. No stars returned, and the TLC 4 match featuring Kane winning it alone was voted as the greatest RAW match of all time, which is just hillarious... oh yeah, and the Rock made a "live" apperance via sattelite, and was booed out of the building, therefor cementing his soon to come heel turn Team Angle is awesome, just like everyone says The past several months, Smackdown has offered a guaranteed ***+ match every single episode
Guest The Mighty Damaramu Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Dammit Lazy! I told you not to mention it again! Now next week on SD! they'll be doing nuclear testing and it will rise and begin breathing it's radioactive fire breath on SD! "Look it's the Al Wilzilla! RUN!"
Guest EternallyLazy Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Dammit Lazy! I told you not to mention it again! Now next week on SD! they'll be doing nuclear testing and it will rise and begin breathing it's radioactive fire breath on SD! "Look it's the Al Wilzilla! RUN!" My humblest apologies to you sir... and if it comes true in any way shape or form, then I will take complete blame for this dreadful angle continuing!
Guest The Mighty Damaramu Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Don't worry it's up to all of us now. You get the airship ready and I'll prepare the anti-nuclear suck toxin rocket launchers.
Guest EternallyLazy Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 aye aye captan and on a sidenote... I kind of want the feud to continue now, so I can put "EternallyLazy: Personally responsible for the continuation of the Dawn Marie/Torrie fiasco"
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 SPOILER, albeit one that probably nobody here gives a rat's ass about! Click here to read it. I'm holding you responsible, EL.
Guest EternallyLazy Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Ha! I mean... Damn that sucks
Guest Just call me Dan Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Did anyone mention the fact that THE BIG SHOW won the heavyweight championship and was awarded the famed "Big Show Miracle Push"?
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 I mentioned that he ended the Goldberg streak and was put into a feud with Taker. I don't really consider that a big deal. He became really unimportant over the last month and while Taker/Show will bore crowds out of their minds, at least it doesn't do so at the expense of anybody else.
Guest Just call me Dan Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Oh, so true, it's just the fact that he held the world heavyweight championship just months after jobbing cleanly to Jeff Hardy.
Guest Ram Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 Kane picked up a drunk girl from a party. He didn't know how to drive a stick shift, and had to swerve to miss a small animal (I'm not making this up). The girl died in the crash, but supposedly Kane was so turned on that he preceded to fuck her corpse. HHH duplicated this on RAW, and fucked a mannequin. Then he pulled some salad out of the mannequin's ear and said "I SCREWED YOUR BRAINS OUT!"
