Should HHH be wrestling THREE times in one night this soon back? I mean really (and I'm not HHHating here I'm serious)at least get rid of that 1st match because whats the sense of having Orton-HHH twice? Just have vince announce its HHH replacing Orton in the title match BUT HHH still has to face Umaga

Survivor Series 98 had a terrific buyrate. No Survivor Series has done nearly that high since. The KOTRs aside from 2002 didn't do too bad either. I can't remember why 2002's was so low. Valentines Day and Over the edge drew similar buyrates to survivor series 98 Face it Vince doesnt think its worth it to do tournaments anymore he thinks theres more money to be made in building up something more tangible..his memory is like an elephant's he is still mad about WM IV's buyrate..russo had to sell him on that one IF wwe marketed it right they could catch some casual march madness type of fans who just love brackets etc but it wont ever happen they are getting bad returns in their eyes on the concept and 32 man tourney was mentioned..good luck with that..didnt russo do that with people coming back in and all that

Let's see... HBK/Taker - 97 Austin/Taker vs. Kane/Mankind - 98 (match never officially started) Taker/Mankind - 98 Kane/Mankind - 98 Taker/Bossman - 99 HHH/Cactus Jack - 00 Angle/Austin/Taker/Rock/HHH/Rikishi - 00 HHH/Jericho - 02 Brock/Taker - 02 HHH/Nash - 03 HHH/HBK - 04 HHH/Batista - 05 Taker/Orton - 05 DX vs. Vince/Shane/Big Show - 06 I don't know if you'd count the kinnel match between Bossman/Snow from Unforgiven 99. It did feature the cell. Didnt the cell lower for Austin-Kane on KOTR 98 as well? (the 1st blood match)

They have always been fascinated with showing surgery pics i remember my first was seeing Billy Graham's hip operation on Superstars or Wrestling challange I had more time to read the rest of the thread and saw all the people tlaking about Jericho (again not saying the should but was curious how people were feeling about that possibility) King C: I LOVE tournaments but I think WWE has seen bad returns ratings and PPV wise when they have tourneys. I believe its a ig reason why KOTR dies off as well. Even when they do a tournament now its very short. I am a HUGE amrk for bigger tournaments but I think we are in the minority on that

Apologies if someone already suggested: Think they would hotshot Jericho into the title spot right off the bat? (im not saying they should or shouldnt) Seems like an interesting way to really re-establish him on the retrun.

If you want a serious feud buy the next PPV on CSpan called "McMahon vs the Government"

While this was (said simply) very stupid, I am looking forward to seeing him wear a suit and do the mcmahon walk ... For people bemoaning vince doing this comedy angle Vince has been doing a big chunk of it since the DX feud its not that much of a shock to the system Plus, why shoehorn someone into the push and they get caught using banned substances you KNOW hornswaggle's clean *actually partially serious about previous comment*

ooh and maybe they can all come back together as an invading group Vince Russo: "its the Clean Club vs the the New Juicers!"

spike dudley is a free agent and ready to be pushed as steroid free

I just have to say I am very excited at getting Interpol and Cure tickets this old man is geeking out !

Text Message 1 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone “My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane, Fayetteville Georgia. 30215” Text Message 2 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:53am)- Chris Benoit’s cell phone “The dogs are in the enclosed pool area. Garage side door is open” Text Message 3 to two co-workers (sent 6/24 at 3:54am)- Nancy Benoit’s cell phone “My physical address is 130 Green Meadow Lane.

PWTorch can now report the content of the text message sent by Chris Benoit to Chavo Guerrero on Sunday morning. The message, according to our sources, said that the sliding glass doors to his house were open and the dogs had been fed. No one was quite sure what to make of it, but he wasn't reachable afterward for clarification.

see also the promo before raw last night obviously they cant scrap all these things in time or whatever

Here are details from a law enforcement news conference held Tuesday afternoon regarding what is now ruled as a double homicide/suicide involving Chris Benoit, wife Nancy and seven-year-old son Daniel in their Atlanta-area home: X: Fayette (Ga.) County district attorney Scott Ballard said law enforcement officials believe Benoit killed his wife Nancy on Friday night via affixation, then did the same to Daniel on Saturday morning before hanging himself Saturday night. X: Ballard said Nancy Sullivan’s wrists and feet were bound with tape and that there was some blood under her head. Ballard said Sullivan was found in an upstairs living room area. Daniel Benoit was found dead in his own bed in his upstairs bedroom. A bible was placed next to the body of Nancy and Daniel. X: Benoit hung himself with a cord in his basement weight room. X: Anabolic steroids and what was described by one law-enforcement official as “lots” of what is believed legal prescription medication were found in the house. A complete list of medications may be given to the media at a later date. X: A WWE “co-worker” [believed Chavo Guerrero] received a text message on a delayed basis from Benoit. Officials declined to elaborate on what information the messages contained. X: Benoit was previously arrested in the Atlanta area on a DUI charge but has no record of a previous arrest for domestic violence. X: There was no suicide note left inside the house. X: “In a community like this, it’s bizarre to have a murder/suicide, especially involving the death of a seven-year-old child,” Mallard said. “That’s what struck me the most in all this: There’s a seven- year-old little boy who’s dead. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to wrap my mind around that completely.” “It struck me as somewhat bizarre that he would even be in the home with their deceased bodies all that time … I’m baffled why anyone would kill a seven year old. I don’t have any idea at all about a motive.” X: Keep checking wreslingobserver.com for more details as they are available.

not to sound callous but the networks and their owners might not want to lose the airtime..and the ratings its a tough situation obviously but handled much better than when Owen Hart died morbid or otherwise curious viewers will likely be tuning in as well the networks are probably anticipating it (tough to get them to admit it but thats how they work) but obviously with all the new info they cant really touch on the situation

not sure if a repeat: The WWE web site reported that Chris Benoit sent some curious text messages early Sunday morning, which concerned friends to alert Richard Hering, WWE's VP of Government Relations to call Fayette County sheriffs on Monday to check the residence. Benoit sent the text messages to Chavo Guerrero, one of his close friends. The story said WWE officials learned of Benoit's death at 4 p.m. from the local authorities. They gathered the wrestlers to the ring area where they were told only of the deaths of Benoit, wife Nancy and son Daniel. They were told the live show was being canceled. Nothing has been stated regarding what will happen tomorrow night when Smackdown and ECW are taped in San Antonio. WWE will go on with regular programming tomorrow in San Antonio, with Raw & ECW tapings not based on either a tribute to Chris Benoit or continuing the Vince McMahon angle. I feel awful for watching the whole tribute last night now

man i cant take this edge one...

we all lost today

Vince McMahon broke the news to the wrestlers backstage about the death of Chris Benoit and his family. One wrestler who was present tells PWTorch that everyone was gathered for an urgent, impromptu gathering backstage. McMahon then explained the basics - that Chris Benoit and his wife and won were found dead. He didn't elaborate or provide any details, and may not have known any more himself. "I've never seen a locker room floored like that. Seventy percent of everyone was just floored like I've never seen before. Everyone is just sad. He was well-liked by everyone. No one ever had a bad word for him. He and Bobby Eaton, that's what people say about those two." He added: "He never complained about sh-- (in his personal life), but lately it always looked like something wasn't setting right with him inside, like something was eating at him." There are no police reports yet confirming the backstage info circulating that they all did of gunshot wounds.

just so sad.... i cant even begin to wrap my mind around what the circumstances were for him missing the show yesterday and what happened these 24-x hours in between a tragedy

Watched a bootleg of it last night..Eli Roth has topped the 1st one SPOILERS (highlight) Movie starts with some cleanup of the Hostel..burning of victim info with the credits..then we are on a train and authorities are waking up Paxton from the 1st flick after he escaped..they question about him about the dead man in the bathroom and show their tatoos and then start to cut away at him..then he wakes up safe in his girlfriends house after dreaming the previous sequence. You think he is safe but shortly after his girlfriend comes down stairs and paxton is at the breakfast table headless as a cat eats away at the gore. The girls in the movie are students in Italy and after a while they end up being suckered into ending up at the Hostel. It takes a wile to get going again, there is a nice bidding war scene over the girls once they check in but a lot of waiting, but when it does Matarrazzo's character goes 1st being setup in a Lady Bathory type torture where a woman has bought her to hange her upside down and use a scythe to cut her up and bathe in her blodd, slashing away at her back and then finally her throat and the blood pours over her. Bijou Philips and the other actress were bought by an intense psycho rich guy and his quiet wimpy buddy. The meek guy is even scared to get the bloodhound tatoo but is forced to. The psycho guy gets Bijou and the quiet guy gets the other actress. The psycho guy terrorizes bijou with a saw but the plug pulls out and hes laughing manically while teasing her. Evntually though he cuts her pretty bad with a saw and freaks out and tries to leave but the owners sic the dogs on him saying he must kill her. And of course you realize the movie is pulling an old switcheroo role reversal on these two guys. Sure enough the quiet guy in the other room starts totally losing it and does torture her (and buys whats left of bijou as well to finish off). Bijou dies but the other girl does of course outsmart him and turn the tables and offers to buy her way out when the owners come in. The owners say its not that simple, that she must kill the guy. She does..BY RIPPING HIS EQUIPMENT OFF AND FEEDING IT TO THE DOG all visibily on camera..she then get the tatoo herself (on the small of the back..how chic) and then gets some revnege on the person who set her up.....some other cool things were: The return of those gangs of children (including one of those kids gettting shot point blank), a triphy room with Paxton's head, and very quickly theres a nice scene when some photos are shown and the even girls from the 1st one are in it...oh and those kids play soccer with a head that was cut off..good stuff...sorry for the rambling review but writing it right before starting work trying to rush through Recomended!

I like aspects of Fever..and for the record while i loved Hostel 2 itcould have been "better" of course but im sure he will get better as he makes more..definetly has huge potential I actually like his acting too or when he has done stuff like the scariest movie countdown on Bravo..funny guy everyone should enjoy the opening
