rising up out of the back seat-nuh

Is it just me, or is the the state of the cruisers getting better and better? At the moment, smackdown has got guys like Mattitude, Moore, Rey Rey, Kendrick, Nunzio, Noble and Kidman in the Cruiserweight ranks with Light Heavyweights like Los Guerreros, Benoit and Angle in the upper/ midcard. By my count cruisers easily outweigh the Hosses on SD. It seems that at the moment, more than ever, Vince is putting his face in smaller wrestlers. Discuss

I wonder how many of vinces scripts end with "hilarity ensues"?

3 predictions: 1) Vince uses the fact that "Wrestlemania will not be put off by terrorists" or their security measures as a publicity stunt. 2) The whole event is even more stupidly patriotic than ever (global company my arse) 3) 50,000 + people chanting USA, causing chave to be deeply pissed off. oh, and i wouldn't put it past vince to market steiner as an american patriot cause he's got a flag on his kit

C'mon, Dursts's a great wrestler. Haven't you guys played Smackdown 3?

All i know is Tenacious Z was signed to WWE a while back. Does anyone know if WWE are gonna actually use him in the future? Has he done any matches for OVW etc? I honestly can't see Vince using him as anything else than a comedy charachter. Any ides?

Austin>Rock - To balance out rocky's NWO win. Booker>Triple H - But not clean Brock>Angle - Hopefully not clean to save Angles threat Trish>Jazz + Victoria - Leaves 2 heels chasing the face champ Jericho>Michaels - Otherwise its pointless Hogan>Vince - Again, doesn;t make sense otherwise UT + Jones> Show and A-Train - Otherwise its pointless Team Angle>Others - I think they'll turn one of Rhyno + Benoit Dudleyz>whoever they face - Otherwise there's no point to that feud Rey>Matt - To pop the crowd early While we're at it, anyone wanna predict the pre-wrestlemania heat match? I reckon Tajiri vs Kidman

BACK THE SHANE O'MAC!!!!!

6) Hogan?

For $500 000, they could have got in guys like Low Ki, Am Dragon, Chris Daniels, Elix Skipper, AJ Styles etc. and got half a dozen guys who are natural future upper mid-carders (mark my words!). But then, this is Vince.... Fascist

Or team him with triple K.

What sort of contract did vinnie mac pay him? If its big money, they'll just keep him on in a big show type of role (ie just there) only worse.

I'd trust steiner more with world security. Hell, if he did try to push the button, he'd only end up pulling something.

Anyway, tonite is just bush giving saddam a last ultimatum isn't it?

This is why i watch wrestling. It's a soap opera

And his catchphrase can be "CRIKEY!!!" any time he fucks up

The thing is, he's in as a far right nationalist member. The true finns are basically a party devoted to ensuring the ethnic purity of Finland (admitedly this is an oversimplification, but hey!)

Hell, he could tag with triple K against booker.

This may be a british thing, but the majority of people McMahons age are inherently (and often subconciously) rascist, or at least xenophobic. Fascists.

Bischoff = sacked

It's not only black wrestlers being portrayed as a stereotype though. Just ask Latino Heat. If you've ever heard eddie speak in his normal voice you'll know what i mean. Thr sad fact i that the vast majority of wrestlers vince pushes are WASPs, regardless of ability, while the lower and mid-cards have a higher proportion of minorities. Feel free to correct me

for my two penneth worth, i'm amazed so many smarks are jaded by the whole thing. i only got cable a month ago, and i'm already bored of wrestling i just watch it now so i know what people on this board are talking about.

It's actually quite a cool card. Theres only one match i couldn't give a fcuk about (When hossses colide) I doubt that triple H will let more than two matches be above him tho. Fascist.

Plus, it'd help to have more of a platform for the cruisers to get iver without anyone gettin their back up.

Hey, maybe Kurt's working vince to get the ME

I was just wondering if anyone else is getting a little suspicious by the Kurt Angle situation? Although i don't doubt his injury is legit, that article saying he's risking paralysis or perhaps maybe even life itself seems, well, worked. Do you honestly believe that if one of vinces charges was in any major risk of ruining his life, he'd let it become public knowledge. I can't help feeling that kurt'll be back next year, and the only thing to come out of all this is the smarks will have paid out for wrestlemania in case something serious happens. I know this is paranoid, but i'm a brit and loaded up on caffiene *PEACE*
