Downhome

If they can have guys feud over a shampoo commercial then they can feud over one saying that the other guy's real movie sucks.

I don't want to like to hate Miz!!!

I can see Miz getting over as a legit heel that the fans love to hate. That's something I don't even see in Randy Orton, and he's been around for a while now. EDIT: "Wasn't Miz in the diva contest?" - JBL "No...he was the host." - Cole That got a laugh out of me.

"He looks like the Red Rooster!" - JBL on Miz Oh great, now I'll always think of that...because it's true.

Is this new information, or did I miss this from earlier in the thread?

I'm dead serious. I don't understand wrestling, I'm not a wrestling fan. Why were they expecting a lower rating? Why are they content that the rating keeps dropping week after week? I need a remedial guide to this stuff, because I can't see it. From PWInsider:

Ha, there was the "OMG" kid.

Why in the hell would Jericho even agree to be on this show in the first place? I don't see him getting much out of this at all...other than looking horrible and made a joke of. From PWInsider:

You dont get a cookie because you didnt mention Big Show.. How about a cookie with a bite missing?

I love how the live fans seemingly don't give a shit about any of this.

Why wont they learn that part of the reason that DX isn't as over as they should be is that they get beat up by two non-wrestlers?

Sabu should come out, yell "SUCK IT", and do the DX deal with HBK and HHH, then take out TBS.

Lita should be wrestling in what she had on earlier. So what has the "highlight" of the show been so far tonight?

That's the type of horrible that can end two rising careers. Say hello to Jeff Hardy, new IC champion. I can't decide if JR is playing along or actually shooting.

This feels like Melina is just doing this improv style.

The live fans sure are into this!

Nitro "sounds" like a guy that should be in TNA.

First to an Orange Goblin, and now an apple...

Ha, was that Orton's fault just then?

Trish's fiance is gonna be pissssssssssed!

Regardless of talent, it's a great thing. The sad thing about Chris Masters is that he was only brought up in the first place because of his look. Had it not been because of that he never would have been brought up when he was. Now the wellness deal is in effect, and we have him like he is now. Great for his health, but not so much for his career. I actually hope they give him a shot instead of just dumping him. So is the plan to actually put Cena on SD (they'll need something major for the move to CW) and then have Edge/HHH feud over the title on RAW?

Chris Masters looks great, a lot better now. He'll be able to get around the ring a little better more than likely, wont be as injury prone, and will be healthier. I'm all for it. I'm shocked that JR mentioned that he was smaller though.

From PWInsider: quote]HE ASSOCIATED PRESS PICKS UP KURT ANGLE STORY by Mike Johnson @ 5:09:00 PM on 8/28/2006 The Associated Press picked up the story of Kurt Angle's departure from World Wrestling Entertainment late this afternoon, so expect it to get a lot of play nationally in newspapers across the United States over the next several days. This is likely the first time the departure of a WWE performer has made the national newswires, although it happened because of Angle's legitimate athletic background and Olympics accomplishment, as his entire wrestling career is framed as likely being over, not because of his status as a WWE contracted performer coming to an end. The article notes that Angle was leaving "entertainment wrestling" yet wasn't (at this time) citing the departure as the official retirement for his legendary grappling career. Chronicling the injuries Angle suffered during his final professional wrestling match at the White Plains, New York ECW event several weeks back, the article noted that Angle opted to leave the company after deciding he didn't want to continue to take "pain medication" in order to compete. The story does not attempt to delve deeper into Angle's current personal and professional issues beyond that lone mention of pain medication and does not mention his previous suspension from WWE. It also does not note that the decision to end the professional relationship at this time was a call made by WWE, not Angle. The AP article is written in a way that was designed to bookend Angle's legitimate athletic career.

If he refuses to do what WWE wants of him, and they refuse to take him back, you'll see Kurt Angle wrestle somewhere in 90 days. If he can't wrestle in WWE, he'll wrestle somewhere else.
