The Buzz

Well even though the Palumbo biker gimmick probably won't work, he'll have the chance to say hello to taker once every two months at smackdown tapings, and every month taker works a pay-per-view.

I've caught a few episodes, definitely good stuff.

I enjoyed it, but I think it would serve itself better to lighten up on so much of the comedy. I like the bumbling sidekick, but I just think it was too much. I like it though and will probably try to watch it again.

I sure hope it's not Burke at the pay-per-view, I think Punk has beaten the man probably 6-7 times clean in singles and tag matches since the inception of ECW. It's kind of like how CM Punk had beaten Nitro 1-2 times before Nitro became champion, and they conveniently forgot it. That is probably one of the biggest complaints I've had about WWE is the lack of continuity. I was surprised they brought up the fact that Carlito beat Cena on Smackdown for the US title when Carlito had a segment a few months back with Cena.

I hate it when people call the Scorpion Deathlock a sharpshooter in the first place, but can understand that Bret Hart always applied the move better and deserves to have it called the Sharpshooter, but for crying out loud when Sting does the move it's a Scorpion Deathlock. I just wanted to get that off my chest.... As far as the show goes, it looks a lot better then the first two hour show.

Everyone has pretty much taken all of the good ones, but I have to say Doomsday for one reason. Anyone who can kill Superman, even if only temporarily is a badass villian.

I wouldn't mind seeing the Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla come back for another run, he was one baaaaaaddd mama jama if I remember correctly.

Just because a dirtsheet says the older men in the company our fond of her, and she got a divorce doesn't mean she's whoring it up in the backstage. Even Meltzer is full of shit fifty percent of the time.

(Regarding Warrior)He's relevant still today, and his biggest accomplishment was Winning the World Title years ago, and having a best selling comic book for a few weeks. People still bring his name up today when he's out of the business whether it be to drag it through the mud or to praise him. There is also a reason why his action figures sell so well. So to be blunt whether you consider him legendary for his charisma, fire, etc. Or you consider him legendary for all the rumors about his behaivor...he's a legend. As far as whether Raven is a legend or not. He's not with some of the other guys listed in terms of status. But the fact that he's held World Titles in two of the four major promotions in the United States in the past 15 years, and held singles titles in the other two...I mean that right there is pretty unique. Hell to be honest he's the only man to hold a singles title in all four of those promotions. That's not even including his insane character development, promos, and sometimes good ring work.

Apparently Sting is making a rare live event appearance in Mexico during TNA's two day tour. Just thought I'd throw that out there since as far as I remember he hasn't worked any non-televised wrestling since he teamed with Muta against DDP and I think Kojima in like 2002 or 2004.

I consider guys like Flair, Hogan, Bret Hart, Sting, The Rock, Austin. HBK, Undertaker, Savage, Steamboat, Race, Vader, etc etc as Legends. I guess my criteria for a legend is they either have made a lasting impact, held world championships, drew big money, changed wrestling, all the above, etc, etc. I'd say a guy like Raven is a future legend for what he did in ECW and TNA, and to a lesser extent WWF and WCW. I can see how you'd classify Malenko, Benoit, Guerrero, Jericho, etc. as legends as they helped break the mold of what a top guy should look like or wrestle like. To an extent you'd have to call Brian Pillman legendary for doing the style he wrestled and then the style of character he later became. Sid was money, had charisma, held the strap for both companies. Regardless of what the higher ups or some smarks might want to say...I think he's pretty close to legendary if not legendary. However, a guy like say...Bill Demott...while I liked him, especially during the tail end of WCW he never drew huge money, held mid-card gold, and was basically in the same position his entire career. A guy like that would be someone who deserves respect for what they've done, but is not legendary.

I was looking up some WWE dvd listings, and I believe best buy has a Raw 15th Anniversary DVD listed as three discs I believe. I'll look up the listing again tonight and post it if I can find it again. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?sk...&id=1762229 that's the url for it. It's scheduled for December of this year and says it clocks in at 540 minutes long. So I'm assuming this could be the Best of Raw that many people have been clamoring for.

I'd love to see Ric Flair in the main event of Wrestlemania. I'd love to see him have a nice little main event run in the main event of several pay-per-view, and I'm not even a mark for the guy. When he's motivated and given a nice angle/opponent to work with he's delivered in his WWE run.

He's not even able to stand at the top of the entry way looking menacing for 3 minutes while Mitchell cuts a promo? Hell they could prop him up in a chair next to Mitchell in a "dark" location having him do his thing. They can have Mitchell say that he and Mesias are going to be laying back for a little while watching and waiting for their moment to strike.

Since it's just waiting to be used I'll use the corniest of jokes available... "I wonder if he casts himself if he'll use the impaler." ba dum psh

It was set to come out in August, but now I'm hearing Feb of next year.

edit: double post

I watched Smackdown for three reasons, I want JBL back in the ring so watching the rey segment was the closest I'll get for awhile. Bruce Bruce, and the MVP/Matt Hardy deal is kinda interesting. They should turn the heart attack into Teddy got shot by a sniper, maybe hard work bobby walker for Teddy never getting him off the mother ship

Just from the CW trailer I see sometimes it looks like the demon oriented version of ghostbusters.

All this thread reminds me of is how stupid I was for selling all my old games to the flea market and Electronics Boutique.

Now if they start offering to pay for the surgeries or offering pensions they'll look like angels.

Well to be honest I still think a good Sting world title run would be better for TNA than what they are doing with the Angle reign. It's been awhile since TNA had a good babyface champion. I just think TNA does the heel champion way to much. Sometimes it's good to let your top babyface run with the gold rather then have all your babyfaces look like morons against your top heel constantly.

Well have fun with your referee work. Maybe I'll order that poster with all 100 autographs.

That's true, I was referring more toward wanting the autographs and to see the event and roh live all in one weekend, but I'll probably order the pay-per-view and get the roh dvd eventually.

Well I believe I saw Christopher Lambert at the end so I pretty much have to see it. Not to mention I am pretty fond of the Rock's movies. Looks interesting.
