Guest GameCop Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Are you looking forward to the WM 19 extravaganza? Aren't we all lucky to see Rock vs. Austin at WM...like that's never been done before. It seems WWE sees fit to reprise the Rock-Austin match every two years. WrestleMania 15: Rock vs. Austin WrestleMania 17: Rock vs. Austin WrestleMania 19: Rock vs. Austin WrestleMania 21: Rock vs. Austin? I can just hear JR screaming: "Bah gawd...bah gawd...it's WrestleMania 37...and folks...you won't believe the main event we've got signed...Rock vs. Austin...this time Vince McMahon will be in the Rock's corner...bah gawd...Stone cold, stone cold, stone cold, and the brahma bull...we might see Austin stun Rock for the first time...make sure you call your local cable operator....Bah Gawd the road to WrestleMania continues... More like the never-ending WrestleMania.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Don't forget HHH will still be Raw champion, squashing promising upper midcarders.
Guest IB2BLACK Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Dude, Rock & Austin, are the two biggest stars in the business. Why not have them go again.
Guest Eagan469 Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 and Gamecop reaches strike 2 in record time I give him...3 days
Guest GameCop Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Strike 2? You're just jealous you didn't come up with the topic, earlier.
Guest Eagan469 Posted March 4, 2003 Report Posted March 4, 2003 Fighting on the internet is like being in the special olympics...Win or lose you're still retarded
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 I don't have too big of a problem with Austin/Rock III at Mania...but in world (not IC) title matches the Rock is 0-3, and against Austin he's 0-2... Now. Will they actually have him go 0-3 on Austin? Or put him over EVEN THOUGH he's going to bail shortly there after?
Guest Choken One Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 What's more important? Being Entertained? Or elevating non-stars to create the Illusion of Freshness? Just because This match consists of those two same wrestlers, doesn't mean they were all the same. XV and XVII were completly different from each other not just as an match but from an storyline aspect. This one looks to be different from those two other matches. I really don't see an problem with Two Entertaining performers having another go on THE BIGGEST STAGE in the industry. The Celtics and Lakers went at just about every year in the 80's but that didn't hurt the aura and intensity of those games...why should anything be different with Rock and Austin? If the Rock goes 0-3...It won't be that big of an blemish on his record... So What if Austin/Rock main events WMXXI? I am sure they will put on another good show as they always do. These two guys ALWAYS bring their "A Game" with each other esp at Mania...so Stop turn in your Smark card and sit back with your friends and enjoy the show...
Guest Choken One Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Well...Also... Your Main event for WMXXI? Kurt Angle Vs Cena... You heard me...I pulled a BACK TO THE FUTURE on Y'all and Cena/Angle had a **** match at Mania in Allentow, PA in front of 2102 screaming Cenatics.
Guest Sakura Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Well at first I wasn't really thrilled with the idea of them running this feud again. Then I took a step back and realized that with the current product complaing about getting Austin vs. Rock is just plain silly.
Guest creativename Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 I agree with Sakure. Austin-Rock doesn't really do anything for me, but it is what's best for business. They don't have anything better to offer right now, and without this match, the Mania buyrate would probably be 100,000 buys lower than it will be.
Guest eirejmcmahon Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Rock/Austin is one of the feuds that always gets my blood pumping - both men are great performers, can bring it in the ring, and play well off each other - I've been dying for this rematch ever since their 'sing-off'.
Guest nikowwf Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Its going to get them enough buys to make their year end goals for the business. Its the quickest big money match they can do. I know it doesn't help others so much...but i understand why they are doing it. For me, they should really let the undercard shine. THat way, peeps who paid to see them wrestle will also see some other great things, and maybe they can spiral off from that. niko
Guest humongous2002 Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 That's right, but this feud has been used and abused i rather see new promising wrestlers get elevated instead of the same crap over and over, and by looking at the WWE roster they have plenty of wrestlers that deserve that big push.
Guest Goodear Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 That's right, but this feud has been used and abused i rather see new promising wrestlers get elevated instead of the same crap over and over, and by looking at the WWE roster they have plenty of wrestlers that deserve that big push. Rock versus Austin is the 'same crap over and over?' Oh goodness me, someone has a rather odd definition of what crap is. Face it sport, Wrestlemania is already on track to elevate Jericho and Booker T at this point. Beyond them, who exactly is lighting the fire in the undercard that despirately needs to get some credibility out of Austin or Rock (especially on the RAW brand where they both now reside)? Adding to the mix the power vaccuum on Smackdown now that Angle is injured, someone there will get moved up to face Brock as well for the Smackdown championship. Some people should rememvber that not every match ever should be elevating people.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 My only real problem with Austin/Rock this time around is that it's a despetration move. The company's in the shitter and they're rushing this together in hopes of turning it around. I'm sick of WWE thinking that there's going to pull one stunt and turn the company around. Longterm booking is what worked for them when they were overtaking WCW. This match should be good, but it's rushed, the guys have zero reason to feud now.
Guest Choken One Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 What do you mean ZERO reason? How about 5 years of an rivalary...
Guest Youth N Asia Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 What do you mean ZERO reason? How about 5 years of an rivalary... They haven't been rivaling five straight years.
Guest Super Pissed Smark Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 What sense does that make? They're the two biggest stars in the company, and WrestleMania is the biggest show of the year, what else do they need to fight each other? Do the Bucs and Raiders need some sort of mascot incident to give them a reason for playing the Super Bowl?
Guest Choken One Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 What do you mean ZERO reason? How about 5 years of an rivalary... They haven't been rivaling five straight years. Celtics/Lakers were rivals but they didn't play every year in the finals...But it was still known they had an intense rivalary...
Guest treble charged Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Rock/Hogan last year didn't really have a reason when the feud first started. Rock just plain out challenged Hogan, and Hogan accepted. Of course, Hogan than hit Rock with a truck, but that was pointless to the storyline, anyway, as Rock didn't sell it at all past taping up his ribs a few weeks later when he came back. For the most part, however, it was just two huge stars from different eras going head to head to see who was the better man.
Guest Choken One Posted March 5, 2003 Report Posted March 5, 2003 Yeah...Why can't two good or "big" wrestler fight just for the sake of fighting...to settle an Long debated debate or something... No it has to be an 6 month Soap Opera apprently...
