  1. Those three shirts would be decent without the fucking names on the back

     

    CAPTAIN CHARISMA is decent looking and wouldn't shout "WRESTLING" shirt to a non-fan. But nope; they tack on the CHRISTIAN part.

     

    Batistia's looks good then they tack on the BATISTIA on it and ruins it.

     

    remember why the AUSTIN 3:16 and NWO Shirts sold so well? SUBTLE and not tacky.

     

    Whilst those shirts aren't as atrocious as the New Generation era of clothes it should be better.

    You've got to admit. The old Razor Ramon t-shirt was pimp.

  2. -- Hooters, which at many locations nationally had been airing WWE PPVs, has made a decision to not carry the WWE events any more. A manager at Pat McNeill's local Hooters said it was a national decision made from the corporate heads. For Torch Newsletter readers, that means the end of McNeill's "At the Bar for the PPV" columns unless another establishment picks up where Hooters left off.

    I can confirm this. When we went to watch New Year's Revolution, the manager told us that the corporate office decided not to renew their contract. So, we had to call chip in cash to order it at my house.

     

    A sad day, indeed.

  3. I saw Masters wrestle a house show match against Val Venis a few months ago. He was pretty bland. He used a full nelson falldown slam for his finisher (which was stupid considering he worked Venis' leg the whole match).

     

    Generic hoss #13. Move along, nothing to see here.

  4. Scott Hall was more-or-less fired for falling asleep backstage during the Insurrexion 2002 UK PPV. All credible accounts say that Hall was not a part of the Plane Ride from Hell and was asleep the whole time.

     

    As for X-Pac, once the nWo angle was killed due to Kevin Nash tearing his quad, X-Pac decided that instead of waiting however so many months for creative to find something else for him to do, that he wanted out of his contract instead to be able to keep working.

  5. I went to a RAW house show the night before Armageddon, and Muhammad Hassan wrestled Tajiri, and someone had a sign in the crowd that said "Check Their Bags" and Hassan & Khosrow Daivari pointed at it all during the match and yelled.

     

    You can bring a sign as long as its:

    1) witty

    2) close to the ring

    3) easily visible

  6. There is no way they could run the PPV from the ECW Arena. Watch the ECW DVD, they said they were pumping so much power through it during Barely Legal that a transformer busted 10 seconds after the PPV went off the air. And if ECW was pumping that much power, image what WWE would throw out.

     

    A good idea for Johnny Grunge would be to team him up with New Jack. That would be a pretty awesome ECW nostalgia dream team.

  7. Was a bit cheesed at the way Benoit was treated. JR and The King killed it off for me. I was like, please multiple internal injuries, get them off TV. JR, you are no Gordon Solie.

     

    I usually can't stand Coach on commentary but did anyone else feel that the show had a completely different feel/fresh feel to it when he was doing play by play by himself? I don't know if it's because it had been so long since I've heard a one man commentary, probably since Joey Styles, oh yeah, once when Tazz had to go solo due to Michael Cole running away from Heidenreich. I think one of my main problems with Raw right now, besides HHH and a poor creative team, is that the show needs freshened up and that includes disbanding JR and the King on commentary. At the very least, get Austin or someone in there as a third commentator. I'd like to see JR in a President of WWE camera role and Lawler could either host Kings Court or be a backstage interviewer. Put them together on PPV's from time to time perhaps.

    3-man commentary teams are death.

     

    See: WCW 2000.

  8. or a case of OMG they made Benoit into a jobber in the hour so I refuse to watch the rest of the show?

    You people really, really go overboard on the paranoia about Chris Benoit.

     

    Some of you forget about the fact that HHH was his bitch for ALL of 2004 just because he puts over Batista. Jeez, chill out. He's got to lose once and a while. It seems like you want Benoit to do the very thing you hate about HHH (always winning).
