And you're RETIRED even! This has been THE most ineffective retirement ever. I don't think anyone's even noticed. Guys, Drek Stone is retired!! Remember?!

We're like the Clique. Only I hold down people more effectively than Triple H ever did.

Well, I'm taking the job then. No joke. I think Living Anglelously could turn out very well.

Well, since I'm already involved in this mess..... Yes, I do think we should have a new person posting PPVs along with Tony. And, if need be, I volunteer to do it. I like posting the shows.

I think they're going to go with Orton/Undertaker II at WrestleMania XXII. The storyline writes itself. Orton is already going to be out around 6 months with this injury. Once he comes back, he should already be obsessed with the Undertaker. Talking about Taker is responsible for his initial shoulder injury that night and how he knows, if it wasn't for that injury, he would have been the better man. And it's eating himself up now that he hasn't ended that streak yet. The feud will get some proper buildup for the next few months. Bischoff or Long might even offer Orton a chance at the Undertaker at Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble, but he demands to get his chance at WrestleMania, just so he could end the streak once and for all. In between this time, they could even run that feud between Batista/Orton they seemed to have already planted the seeds for. Then finally, they run Orton/Taker at WrestleMania XXII. And this time, Orton actually goes over. His win over the Undertaker will seem ALL the more important, and it will do much more for him than it would have if he got the win this year. As for the other stuff on the card? *shrug*

Stop taking this thread off topic. This is about FailedMascot finally being able to see the SWF Folder. Congratulations!

No, no. I've already started criticizing you. This is a boldfaced lie. Obviously, you had to have known you won the Italian Championship -- it centered around your entire INTEN5E angle. Remember? Popick won the title from Cappa, which meant that Cappa now had to be a willing member of INTEN5E, or something like that. It was your personal angle. Considering Cappa was still overseas at that point too, it now makes even less sense. How in the world would you not remember giving yourself a title? You fucked up with the title belt, plain and simple. I don't see why you would have so much trouble just admitting that you did a terrible job with the championship. For some reason, you were in a rush to win it from Cappa. After I spent three months trying to capitalize on improving the credibility of the title, and in the process taking over where PRL left off with strengthening Cappa's character, you felt the need to immediately take back the title for a quick halt in momentum. That would be fine with me -- hell, I don't own the title -- if you had the intentions to actually try to continue working on it. Of course, you basically dropped plans to do anything to help the title almost instantly after winning it. It's not like I'm heartbroken over this fact, but I would like to see you take responsibility instead of trying to shift the blame to someone else. And don't tell outright lies about it either. And let's be honest. Considering you're one of two people that put together the OAOAST Pay-Per-Views, you should at least be updated as to the goings-on in the fed. If you really had no idea that you were holding a title, then that's a problem that needs to be addressed. It shows you're clearly not in tune with the matters in the federation. And if you DID know you were holding that title, then it shows a carelessness to the fact that you were willing to let it die, rather than hand it off to someone else to help them out. Either way, it looks plain bad.

Personally, I'm very upset over what happened with the Italian title. PRL spent a lot of time building up the credibility of the Puerto Rican title, which I tried to keep going through the Drek Stone/Cappa feud for three months. Drek and Cappa had, in my opinion, an excellent series of matches through May, June, and July. And once I won the title in June, I had two very good matches with Calvin and Sly to defend it. When Cappa won the title back in July, I felt the title was looking nice. Almost even legitimate. Then Popick wins the title and suddenly it's never seen again. It's inexcusable, it shows laziness to the highest degree, and it explains why some people seem to have a problem with Popick. To take a concept like the Italian Title that several people worked very hard on and just let it die because you don't have the ability to defend it properly is selfish. At least drop the damned title to someone else who has the time to devote it the attention it deserved. The belt was gaining a lot of momentum thanks to the efforts of PRL and myself, and now it's all gone. It pisses me off a great deal to see someone literally kill the credibility behind a championship because they were just careless. I know someone else that was upset about the status of the 24/7 Title, but I'll let them speak for themselves if they wish to. I'm speaking for myself here.

I'm particularly unhappy about something on the show, but I'm going to keep that opinion to myself. Of course, unless someone asks me about it. Otherwise, good show, at least from what I've seen so far. Like Hoff said, I'm really feeling the Axel title reign at this point.

Well, after the way A Happy Medium treated me, I may just take my business elsewhere. And with that, I remain retired.

They sure make them witty around these parts.

Pssh. That's not very impressive. I won MY Heavyweight Title in the Elimination Chamber.

Asking that question just drove this thread even further off-topic.....

We're giving people. We'll even throw Popick into the deal too.

You people need more personality. The OAOAST teaches you how to take a terrible thread and RUN with it.

No, no, I'm retired. Yeah, that's right. Retired. Although KC DID say I would be #1 on his list of desired free agents. If you're going to start a bidding war over my services, you should start soon.

I think the expression is: "I froze when I read what Frigid wrote...." Oh shit, I shouldn't even be here right now!

I AGREE DEY WILL RUIN THE CREDIBILITY OF THE WWE TITLE IF THEY MAKE IT SPINNNNNNNNNNN~!

I thought that Rosey legdrop last night looked a little nasty.

So far, Pedro Martinez has proven he's still one of the top pitchers in baseball.

Overreact much? As bad as the Mets are doing, we're still only beginning the second week of the season. Calm down. Get off the ledge.

My best guess would be that Matt asked to be released. Now he's free from a tense locker room, away from the Edge/Lita situation, and gets the chance to work with his brother again in TNA.

Except for the fact that he tapped out cleanly to Benoit's sharpshooter at Backlash 2004. And as for the idea that Angle would look bad if Michaels was somehow able to get back his win, that's false. Angle made Shawn tap out CLEANLY at WrestleMania XXI. Looking throughout Shawn's career, there are not many people that could make that argument. After an excellent match that made the both of them look great, Angle actually made Shawn tap out. If Shawn was to get back his win in the future, it wouldn't make Angle look any less threatening or any less credible. It would just establish that, maybe, these two wrestlers might be on the same level when it comes to wrestling talent. They're equally as good in the ring and, when they're facing each other, they just need to pull out that little extra something to get off the win. Seeing as how they're both considered to be WWE legends, this SHOULD be the image you're trying to portray. Angle losing the next match between the two doesn't hurt him, and I doubt it would be an example of "Shawn's backstage pull" getting in the way. It would just be a testament to the fact that these two are equally as good in the ring. This is hardly comparable to the Edge/Michaels thing. Edge won on a cheap fluke rollup at the Royal Rumble. Kurt Angle managed to make Shawn Michaels tap out cleanly. Shawn getting back his win in both scenarios have different effects. Against Edge, it gives off the impression that Edge needs to bend the rules to get a win off Michaels -- but he still CAN do it. If he doesn't though, he could very easily lose to Shawn, as he did in the Street Fight. Against Angle, it gives off the impression that both men could beat each other at any time. Angle can make Shawn tap out cleanly at WrestleMania XXI. Michaels can pin Angle cleanly at another major PPV. They are now put on the same competitive level.

Beautiful 2-hitter from Pedro today. Still.....you can't celebrate when the team has just improved their record to 1-5.

This is going to turn into quite the contest. Who will finish their feedback first: Zack, CC, or PK? They've all left incomplete feedback so far. I would probably pick CC or PK, seeing as how I know Zack is going to finish feedbacking AngleMania sometime around never.....
