Click here. Too many good ones to give examples, but just check 'em out.

Heheh, no problem. Now...suddenly I'm thinking of a Mr. Mac-Man head traveling around a maze, gobbling up small indy promotions and any "name" free agent wrestlers to keep TNA from signing them.

Right. He's got a long way to go with his ring skills, but he's awesome on the mic. Best of luck, Chris...

Briscoe: "...Mis-ter Mac-Man.."

I think that he sorta was as "the Big Shot," when he was basically a trash-talking moron who got his ass kicked constantly.

Everyone was in the thread about Crash passing away, I believe. Plus, since SD isn't live, people aren't as willing to put up with its crappiness.

But, but...give Jones a chance! < / WWEpologist > Also, yeah, why the fuck is Bob Holly still employed?

Tawren: Thank you. Austin is a huge hypocrite. Man, glad he took a stand against WWE's lousy writing, aren't you? Make him a talent scout and get him the hell off TV.

By it's very nature, I don't think you could force any wrestling promotions to be regulated, because they aren't actual competitive sports at all.

The fans. *rimshot* I think Taker is the obvious answer, because Vince is gonna go over--not a doubt in my mind.

I don't think an "off-season" is the answer. I don't know what the answer is, though, if any. (Sadly, this topic is getting more activity than the SD thread...)

Doing what? *not watching the show*

This is surreal. CRASH HOLLY!?! I can't fathom how this would effect Stevie until we get some concrete proof. For some reason, I expect the typical Bonham/Bon Scott rock-star death. Which really sucks, because it's a horrible way to go and to be found. Still--how does WWE treat this? With legends like Hawk and Stu Hart and Blassie it's easy because they clearly deserve recognition, but this is a guy who was nothing more than a comedy/jobber character who doesn't even work for them anymore. Do they just put up a picture in memoriam at the start of Raw? Would he get a video package? Does not being as major entitle a person to far less than some one else? This also goes to show you can't predict who is going to go next. Yeah, by the law of averages, chances are sometime in the next ten years we will hear Roberts and Hall finally having "their time" come, but you can't accurately predict things like that, and it's disgusting to try. R.I.P. Crash Holly.

And...at what point should we be surprised, exactly?

That wouldn't actually give him time to return AND build up a feud for the card. Maybe it'd give him time to show up at The Wor--oh, right. Nevermind.

Probably only his doctor and Edge knows when he's ready to wrestle again, and even then he'll probably be sent to OVW to knock the rust off. So, I'd expect a Rumble return as a guestimate.

Jericho and RVD have faced each other TONS of times, but have they ever had a "real" feud?

I would have a hard time trusting the man that gave Justin Credible a long run as ECW champ. I also don't think Mick would be a good choice, either.

Here's the problem--people will watch good wrestling backed by good storylines. WWE doesn't have the good storylines. Characters will draw if the fans care about them, which only happens if you give the fans reasons to care. That's why the only developed characters--usually the veterans, GMs, Vince--SEEM to be "draws." The rest people don't care about because WWE doesn't care to develop them. The Booker T and Christian feud...Christian cheated to win the title, but after that, there was little feud development, and the only promo time Christian got was "whining" about how he gets no respect as IC champ. So, Austin punks him out and JR cheers Austin on. Why care about the feud? WWE heels--save for a few like Trips--generally are castrated throughout the feuds, and since the faces are usually booked to win the blowoff, why should the fans care? Take a look at...the entire Angle-Lesnar feud leading up to WMXIX. Wow, that Doink-switch outsmarting of Brock totally made Angle look strong and made me forget what a pussy he looked like the preceeding several months. Produce a consistent, logical product. Fuck shock TV. If there's only a single *** match on a show, and the rest are okay, the matches were of decent length, and nothing was too stupid, that's a good show to me. Consistent quality draws consistent customers. Shock TV provided sporadic bumps in ratings, but nothing concrete or long-term. WWE can't deliver that. I liked what they were doing with SD, because they seemed to by trying to cater to the wrestling fans and doing what they should do: turn casuals into hardcore fans. Make them like the wrestling. Really, what's the one unique thing that WWE should be stressing that viewers can't get on Friends, or Frasier, or football, or your typical stupid sitcom or reality TV show? No, it isn't shitty writing, McMahons, soft porn, and so forth. It's the wrestling. Whether it's brawling, lucha, garbage, technical, power--WHAT THE FREAK EVER... However, there should be a little of all for everyone to enjoy. Not a homogenized, lame standard OVW offense. Then all the matches look alike, and there's little interest. I want to see hosses, provided that they're capable workers. WWE should be making use of their seasoned talent, not wasting them.

...for me to poop on! WWE doesn't deserve a witty insult. Carry on...

Does anyone actually see Goldberg signing an extention? They've been tinkering with his character and making him sell for worthless slugs, and he's not been invulnerable from political maneuvering. Plus, WWE probably feels he hasn't been worth the money he was signed for, so they likely won't want to sign him for any longer unless they re-negotiate for a lower price. Frankly, I don't think Goldie will go for that. So, unless GB takes off again in a huge way with a majorly revamped push or he might not be around any longer than Mania.

Metroid movie; see: the Alien movies. I don't see that...i mean..in a way i do... but i wouldn't do it in the same manner... I just love that game... and where is a TWISTED METAL movie?? Heh, well, basically Metroid borrows HEAVILY from the Alien movies, even the bad ones (Resurrection and Fusion, for instance). So while the plots are rather different, much like the case of EVA and Xenogears I feel that a movie based on the game would just come off as a lame ripoff.

I don't know if it would be deleted by lack of use--Yahoo doesn't seem to do that as often as hotmail. However, I have a problem with Yahoo/google, too. I always get "the page cannot be displayed" whenever I try to do a search.

Wow--not only do we start with a set of spoilers for the show, but we get 3 sets of spoilers! Shame the show looks lackluster, though. *sigh*

Ewwww...Austin's going to do his business in the ring.
