You forgot Raven and Killings from your list of 5!

Theyve ruined Raven vs Jarrett and Brown vs Jarrett. The only 2 which have been given a go are Abyss vs Jarrett and Chris Daniels vs Jarrett. NAO/Hardyz vs AMW will draw interest. Matt Hardy vs Jarrett would also too. O how the mighty have fallen, in reference to Ron Killings. I think the only match that will draw at the moment is Daniels vs Jarrett.

Im back! I have had enough of reading this post. I think its deviated too much for the topic (and I only got through the 1st page). Its about what is the identity of the WWE. Whats wrong with in my honest opinion is the little things, the inconsistencies and the wasted oppourtunities. I must admit, I prefer the skits and promos, and some times read through or fast forward the matches. Even the cruisers bore me now. Wrestlers should be able to hang their nuts out and just go for it. I wouldnt want somebody to tell me how to do my job to the letter. They should be able to act as themselves. Cena makes me sick trying to be Austin, Orton as HHH, Batista as UT, and who is the new Rock? Benjamin or Jordan. Its all just plain vanilla to me. I think Steamboat said it best when asked whether he prefers his 2 out of 3 falls 60 min time limit match with Flair or his 16 min odd buzzfest with Savage. Their were god knows how many steps in the latter, with only 3 steps, the falls being known. Thats why Steamboat prefers the Flair match. The WWE is in a stage of throwing shit at the fan and seeing what sticks but doesnt give it a enough time for it to set and scrap it before its done. WWE is like most companies nowadays, happy with a reasonable return on their investment. The solution to their problem in light of the fans doesnt result in a quick fix or catchcy slogans. I would really like to see them break out, drop the edgey heavy grunge and urban beat styles and give something different. I would like to see them be real, but I digress. The identity of the WWE can be summed up in stable safe lazy business. Its a woman who is never happy with its clothes but really wants to be a transvestite, i.e. quirky and cant make up his/her mind. Sorry if the metaphor sounds a bit sick. It needs to focus on the entertainment, because that what sells, but this acts as the build for the longer matches. There need be only 1 rule to the wrestlers, DONT BREAK YOUR NECK BY BEING FOOLISH. Wrestlers pick their own spots. My vision of the WWE and if I ever had the book in my hand would be the subtitle of: "living on the edge, playing it by ear". Basically, lose worked plans with most of it being shoots and improvisations. I dont care if X is right to be upset with Y, who am I to judged? As long as they draw and play to their strengths, thats fine by me. This means capable workers who are also entertainers. Anyways, thats my 2nd stress rant for the day out of the way.

My card way back was: Jericho-Benoit for World Title JBL-RVD for WWE Title HHH-Batista-Orton with Flair as Special Guest Referee Rey-Eddie Exibition Match UT-Angle Submissions Match Edge-HBK Grudge Match (Streetfight) Cena-TBS-Booker-Carlito for the US Championship Chavo-Kidman-London-Spike-Nunzio-Tajiri for CW Championship Hardy&Kane vs Snitsky&Henry for Tag Straps Lita vs Trish Cage Match Eugene vs Benjamin for IC Title (Ladder Match) Combination of Bashams/Jindrak&Reigns/any other SD tag team for Tag Titles

I would say were going to get an Eddy-Rey exibition match at WM.

Isnt this always the case nowadays?

How can somebody go over that way? Unless its a series of exibition constructive competition matches, to see who is the better man. I cant see why it has to be Jericho who has the face and Benoit the heel. Especially considering Jericho has been a face for last than a year and gets better reactions from the crowd watching RAW.

Hell yeah. Could you imagine him & O'Haire as a tag team? Taking into account his size, I think Burchill is one of the most physically gifted athletes EVER. That would be so cool.

I love Joe to death but in WWE he'd look a lot less imposing and better. Burchill is way better. Have you seen the guys moveset?

I am sure that they are discussing which show is better.

Ok, so maybe smarks saw Christians potential and thought that he could do well. Is that better?

Thats real fair isnt it. For a history on Flair's title runs, check out this link guys and gals . http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=65489

So very true, with Edge-HBK, Orton-HHH-Batista, Jericho-Benoit and Kane. That doesnt leave much for Shelton. Wasnt last nite utter crap. Shame SD! doesnt have the stacked upper card that RAW has. Also, a shame at the fall of Christain. To think that he was once a favourite of smarks. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I like the way that the WWE 'forgot' that E&C are brothers.

Jazz was one hell of a tough bitch whilst gail was turning into a submissions specialist. Laree and Williams need to be pushed, unfortunately too soon in my book.

Just look at NYR, everything sucked except the WHC match.

Now, that Dames, that is cool.

Ok, include the fact that he's got people signing a petition and you can very well do my idea then. I was at the Smackdown taping, btw, in the 2nd row by the right side ramp. Dames It would be nice to see CCC at NYR, imagine the pop. My apologies Dames, I knew somebody had brought it up before. So, the big questions is Dames, did you sign it?

I see, so Latin America non-switch, the Pacific incident and Porto Rico possible right. And the 1st NWA-WCW title run. Thats it, 16. Thanks alot guys.

Shouldn't it have been the other way around? I missed that. Sadly, yes your right.

Right, we have the NWA-WCW one, Flair-Race non-switch and Flair-Colon non-switch. One more guys.

I meant it as, when does WWE listen to the fans and I wouldnt be surprised if they were plants.

Thanks alot. What was the back story and results? Must have been bad, since my memory has blocked them out

Your right, WWE would screw it up Has the WWE ever been good to Benoit. IMO Benoit has got more from Batista, then he has UT or Austin for example. He was being portrayed as a monster then, not to the level he is now, but still a monster. Ok, Ok. I personally liked the Jericho-Trish angle. He faces HHH WM non-title, wins. Faces somebody else at Backlash, wins. Gets the title at Bad Blood. Who is over, draws and works? I think you have to go back to 1997 to answer that question. RRR, you are obviously more knowledgable about wrestling than I am. Everybody knows that here. I was just giving my opinion.

EYE CANDY Believe it or not; contray to many idiotic notions around here...The Japanese aren't all "WORK-RATE~!" as we like to assume they are. They are males too. They like tall blond big chested girls. They dont have much of that in Japan. Many people a couple years back before WWE returned to Japan after a LONG hiatus idioticaly said they would shit on the product; yet it sold out and they had incredible reactions. Yeah, how can we forget the Torrie-Kenzo Skit.

I can see why you were mentioned to be RRRs booking assistant. XFL was a business decision. Losing the name. Owen Hart is up there. HHH being declared Emperor. Not going to SD! The invasion. Making Jericho HHHs bitch. Steph as head writer. Montreal. Not making Benoit champion after he joined the company :S Most of all though, I would say its forcing wrestlers to wrestle WWE Style.
