Awww..... no Nova. No spotfests. Awwww. No, sometimes falling into that Teddy Hart catagory of "I Invented wrestling" type shit. Awww. Meh, WWE loses nothing from not having Nova. And they would gain nothing for having him.

The match had numerous flaws and didn't flow. The only thing I liked was Brock's "wasting" of one fall [being DQd] to get two pin-falls on Angle. That was smart, but shouldn't have been used at the very beginning. Maybe middle to late, like in the 40-45 minute range to show that Brock was willing to take a big gamble to get his belt back. And then they could have used it as focal point for the remainder of the match better. The ending is horrendous. Angle hits like 3 Germans on Brock and with 10 seconds left, instead of going for a pin, he locks on an Ankle Lock. With 10 seconds left or so, no person in there right mind would tap out knowing that it was only going to be 10 seconds of pain. I'd take 10 seconds of agonizing pain for the WWE title and the money that [kayfabed] would come with it. And thats besides the fact that a pinfall [3 seconds] would have been easier to achieve after 3 Germans which cause you to land on your neck/shoulders/back which could have possibly knocked Brock out and allowed him to get the 3 count. Ugh. Just thinking back to the match I can't recall many great middle match highlights or anything. The middle area was pretty much a suplex fest and stalling by Brock. And it had WAAAAY to many Angle Slams and F-5's. **3/4-***

Roll-ups = RAW Interesting yet GOOD [using moves] finishes = PPVs

Taker destryoed the FBI for like 14 straight SDowns. Where as Kane just destroyed the UnAmericans.

It is in Dayton though. Plus it's following on the heels of all of this bad publicity and such.

Comcast Sports Net – Philadelphia Saturdays at Midnight Mmm, wonders if Central PA gets that.....

Where's the tapings going to be held? Philly or Japan, or somewhere else?

You could say Jericho was the first. AS he held the Cruiser championship, and thats now a part of the Light Hvy. title.

Aria Giovanni is in the contest... It can't be that bad.....

*marks out for Shane Douglas vs. Jeff Jarrett in a 6-sided ring*

The 6-man sounds good, but the rest sounded crap. ALMOST worth getting.

What I'd do/like to see: HIAC: HHH vs. HBK World Title: Benoit vs. Kane IC Title: Orton vs. Shelton vs. Edge 6 man Tag: Tajiri, Eugene, Regal vs. La Resistance + Cade Women's Title: Submissions Only: Victoria vs. Gail Kim Jericho vs. Trish/Tomko [Handicap] [have Trish spend more time in the ring. Given the two, Trish > Tomko].

What I'd do: 1) Stop making so many damn Factions/Stables 2) If your gonna have all of these heel stables [Prophecy, Second City Saints, Embassy, Special K, Rottweilers, and now GenNext {all heel}], have at least one face stable to counter. 3) Don't have the heel stable feud with another heel stable [it's just stupid]. 4) Stop having multi-feuds [Punk-Steamboat and Punk-Prophecy at the same time]

Bashams getting a push=horrid. Eddie being stuck with Chavo when Eddie was more than ready to move on and Chavo was a total leech=horrid. So no tag division is better? And Chavo leeching off Eddy was no big deal, considering WWE didn't want to push Eddy at the time. They still cared about Kurt-Brock-Show, and were experimenting with Benoit, A-Train, and Cena. It was better for Eddy to stay in the tag division.

2 weeks on Velocity, they wrestled London/Spanky and I beleive two indy's. Two weeks, was it that bad a thing? And heck, they did better ratings that week against London/Spanky if I remember correctly, than most Velocity's have done. And during this 2 week sabatical, Bashams got a slight push, as did Eddie/Chavo. Is it THAT horrid?

They didn't do NOTHING with them, they put them on Velocity for like 2 weeks while giving the Bashams a bigger push. Was 2 weeks such a bad thing? It even got you a Spanky/London vs. WGTT match on Velocity.

But he even pretty much says that Taker nixxed the idea of Mortis because it too closely represented him.

Horrors that they tried to make their tag team division bigger....

Umm.... I guess you guys know nothing of me? So you assume things huh? Way to show off the intelligence of a board. I have seen about 99.9% of London's North East Coast Indy work, plus all of his ROH work. Plus, I've seen tons of his puro work. But, since I don't agree with general concensus, I'm labled an ignorant WWE noob mark? I see.

Sorry, I prefer a story being told in the ring, or at least a bit more of a complex story than just, "I'm Paul London, I'll play the underdog." Which can sum up about 98% of his matches

Dude... you know what's coming. Take it to Hardcore Discussion if you really have a problem with him, or refute his points properly... please?! Its ok Nik, I imagine it's due to my low post count. I also realize there is an EXTREME love for the indies on here and on DVDR, maybe it's just me and my "more story based" love or my Puro love, but I can think of numerous better wrestlers, some of which would be: Benoit HHH [on his good days] Both Guerreros HBK [when he's on the money] Jamie Noble Akio/Jimmy Yang Jericho Tajiri Rey Mysterio Kurt Angle [when he's on the money] Edge [at times] Orton [see above] The Rock [when he's around and able to get a story before his match] Some will disagree, but I figure most are equal if not better. If you'd like me to list reasons, I can.

75% is pretty generous. I'd say maybe 30-40%.

Cena writes his own raps. As for Shelton not appearing on RAW, it was ONE week that he didn't appear, and it was a stacked show anyway.

Goldust = old/stale Storm = boring Venis = bad gimmick

WWE's REAL problems is, if your not a main eventer, they don't know how to build your character. So, instead of TRYING to build characters for the undercard, instead, they just get more workers. And hell, they even have trouble giving characters who their trying to push to the ME [see Shelton].
