Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Here is the current poster planned for Vengenace... http://www.mainevent.com.au/events/wwe/vengeance.htm How do all of you interpret this? Seems like a sort of paranoia-Austin angle or something, but hey, im always wrong when it comes to these things...so somebody call a pro This has been the unprofessional Taker Mark™
Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Judging from Austin's little hissy fit Monday night, they'll be changing the content on that poster soon enough.
Guest converge241 Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Im sure it was made up in advance to push some kind of Flair screwing Austin kind of deal and an Austin-Eddy stipulation match
Guest Ash Ketchum Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Damn... On another note: This is the first PPV in Detroit in a while, and I have to go to band camp on July 22nd. DAMN DAMN DAMN!!! Figures.
Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Im sure it was made up in advance to push some kind of Flair screwing Austin kind of deal and an Austin-Eddy stipulation match I hate being reminded that I'm probably never gonna get to see any Austin-Guerrero and Austin-Benoit matches now. Argh.

Guest converge241 Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 and I have to go to band camp on July 22nd. DAMN DAMN DAMN!!! band camp huh (thinks of american pie, laughs hysterically) i know those eddy-austin matches...wtf..didnt he want to work with eddy? didnt they put him into said program?
Guest Brian Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 This time, I can feel for Austin. He has already been shoved out of the mian event, and he gets the program he wants for the mid-card. And suddenly he's pushed out of that for Lesnar. Lesnar who means nothing right now and it's going to take more than a program with Austin to fix where the WWf has messed up with him.

According to everything I've read, Austin wasn't pissed because Lesnar was taking his spot. We honestly don't know the full reason why Austin was pissed but from what I've heard it was a combination of frustration with storylines and possibly not wanting to wrestle Lesnar on free TV like with Flair that should've been placed on ppv and not given away for free It's crazy that the WWE hasn't learned from WCW's mistakes (Goldberg vs. Hogan - on Nitro)

It's not like Lesnar is some big "phenom" like Goldberg was. Maybe he is with the smarks, but not with the core audience. By that logic, no matches should take place on free TV. Seriously, maybe a year or two down the road when Brock has some sort of history with the business.. but now? Who cares. But, I don't purchase their PPV's anymore, so I could care less whether or not something is "saved" for PPV.
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 I'd have killed to see Brock finish Austin with the SSP though. -Shiro
Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Anyone else think that the "Lesnar/Heyman and Vince alliance" is playing on both sides of the fence? What I mean is that the current 'storyline' plays out as a not so subtle cheap shot at Austin by pushing Lesnar and saying stuff like' "forget about Austin, Lesnar is the future." Yet at the same time, if Austin comes back one of these days; the whole "Brock" angle can come off as a total work and a possible feud. "Austin returns to take his place atop the wrestling world by defeating the Next Big Thing." Vince wins in this scenario because he either A) can take subtle shots at Austin by pushing Brock in his place or B) using that very same "shoot angle" as a possible angle for a returning Austin.
Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 Monday July 22nd? I guess Raw won't be on that night.
Guest Posted June 11, 2002 Report Posted June 11, 2002 But, I don't purchase their PPV's anymore, so I could care less whether or not something is "saved" for PPV. Well, if they stop saving money matches for PPV and go out of business... you won't have anything to care less about.

Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 12, 2002 Report Posted June 12, 2002 That page is from Australia I think. And that poster looks like a PS to me.

Argh. ARRGHH!! I hate AUSTIN!! HEY HEY HEY!!! Your little signature MATE happens to be something *I* brought to this board, thats MINE sucka, now get your own gimmick before i get Mean Mark to whip your sorry ass This has been the ORIGINAL AND CREATIVE Taker Mark
Guest evenflowDDT Posted June 13, 2002 Report Posted June 13, 2002 But, I don't purchase their PPV's anymore, so I could care less whether or not something is "saved" for PPV. Well, if they stop saving money matches for PPV and go out of business... you won't have anything to care less about. Yea, but if they have the occasional "money match" on free TV, it just might spike interest in the product amongst casual fans to buy the PPV.
