Hunter's Torn Quad

Yeah, that sounds someone merely putting over her own talent(!)

Vince wanted to, but Backlund refused and ended up leaving the company as a result. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Vince wanted Backlund to dye his hair black and turn heel for a feud with Hogan. Backlund refused, and Vince fired Backlund.

You asked me to shoot on Kevin Nash, so you're the tops with me right now.

SMW 92 or 93: Stan Lane, Tom Prichard and Bobby Eaton vs Robert Fuller, Jimmy Golden and ? vs R n and Roll Xpress and ? --- Big Bossman was ref it was a 3 way Street Fight --- Cornette paved the way for ECW in this case <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It was Lane, Prichard and Eaton vs. Fuller, Golden and Dutch Mantell vs. Morton, Gibson and, of all people, Arn Anderson (great angle to bring him in, btw). Rude wasn't big enough for the era. He had the physique, but he just didn't have the mass or the height to make it on top as a heel when you needed to be huge in some fashion. He left the WWF over a contract dispute. He wound up suing the WWF because of it, because while Rude was still under contract but not being used, WWF still used Rude's name to promote house shows, and Rude felt that he should get pay offs from those shows because his name had been used to sell tickets. WWF felt otherwise, and legal fun for all ensued. Rude wrestled in All Japan while it got sorted out, and there is a tape out there of Rude teaming with Steve Williams and Terry Gordy in a six-man taking on Mitsuharu Misawa, Toshiaki Kawada and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi.

I was hoping someone would ask this one... Kevin Nash Kevin Nash is human fucking scum, and is one of the lowest forms of life to ever infest the wrestling business. This talentless piece of fucking shit only got over thanks to leeching off of far more talented or charismatic people, and because of Vince McMahon’s fetish with trying to create the next Hulk Hogan. Nash was never any good in the ring, possessing six moves at most, though that was bumped up to seven if you include slicking back his hair, and eight if you include tearing his quad from walking. Nash was the lowest drawing WWF champion of all time, and with good reason, because he couldn’t draw flies, which is a surprise because he’s the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever seen not called Triple H. He couldn’t make it on his own talent, because Nash having to make it on his own talent would be like asking a quadriplegic drowning in the ocean to make it to safety by swimming. When in WCW, he managed to latch onto one of the biggest money drawing angles of all time and actually was part of something that drew, but let’s be honest here; just about any WWF personality put in that position and booked like supermen would have gotten over. Nash’s reign in WCW was lowlighted by his beyond inept booking reign, that saw this egotistical fucker book himself to be the first man to pin Goldberg which was a major part in WCW falling from its lofty perch, and was done purely to inflate his already huge ego, and eight days later he and Hulk Hogan figuratively jacked each other off in the ring to put the final nail in the coffin of a company that would take almost two years to finally die. This nauseating pile of puke managed to smooth talk Vince McMahon into paying him $750,000 for two years which saw Nash wrestle maybe three matches in the first year, and he injured himself in two of them, though it was one of those injuries that gave us the highlight of Nash’s lousy career as he managed to tear a muscle simply by walking, which I will openly admit to laughing my ass off at. Nash’s streak of being lousy fucking scum and a totally worthless human being even saw him rip off the fans at one of the Brian Pillman Memorial Shows, when he said he would pay $25,000 to the Brian Pillman fund if Missy Hyatt would take her top off. Missy would only go down to her bra because there were kids there, but Nash said he would make the $25,000 donation anyway. And then this piece of shit refused to pay up, making some bogus bullshit claim that he didn’t know if all the money was going to actually go the fund, and the fund never saw one cent of the donation that Nash said he would make. Kevin Nash is a lousy human being, a terrible wrestler, he has no redeeming features whatsoever, and the day he dies is the day I hire a marching band to play at his graveside while I drink a six-pack of beer and spend the night pissing on his grave.

From Meltzer

Samoa Joe Joe is a great worker, who can really project the image of being a legitimate badass. He knows how to give his opponent enough so that people don't lose interest, but not so much that he doesn't lose his aura. Mike Awesome Awesome is a very limited worker, who has to be in with someone really special to be in anything good, with his best work being in weapon orientated brawls that allow his weaknesses to be hidden. Arn Anderson Arn was one of the great talkers of all time, and was a great tag team wrestler as well. Andre The Giant Andre was a great draw in his prime, but that is misleading in a way, because he only drew great because he never stayed in a territory for very long. Had he stayed around, and this proven when he became a WWF mainstay, his drawing power fell, because most of it was based on the novelty of seeing Andre for the first time. Steve Williams Williams was a really good, very hard worker in his prime, and was part of some legendary battles in All Japan. It's good to see he's still able to be part of the business after his battle with cancer. Eddie Guerrero Eddie has great charisma, and is one of the best all-round performers in WWE. It's a shame that he couldn't handle the pressures of being WWE Champion, because he really could have sparked off something special. Chavo Guerrero Jr. Chavo is a good worker, and can be part of some great matches with someone who can help him along. His current gimmick is death, but it isn't like he was going to get anywhere in WWE. Ron Simmons Ron was an ok worker, and was definitely the better half of APA.

Benoit vs, Lesnar from SD

Warrior has put me back in the mood.

Some of TNA's 'stars' don't even have legs. Well, ones that can stand up to much.

For some reason, I hear Jeff Foxworthy saying that last line. And yes, that whole tirade was great stuff.

Dixie Carter appears to be as obsessed with 'star power' as Eric Bischoff, and look how well that worked for WCW.

They will put the blame everywhere except where it should go.

Once they show Joe beating the snot out of some kid and twisting him into shapes with various submission holds, Joe will be over as a killing machine. And that is a very marketable character.

I hope they do something to explain why Nash walked back into an NWA title match while Raven gets nothing.

The rating to really pay attention to is the one for next week. WWE have no excuses to fall back on, given the incredible hype for their Homecoming and what they've promoted as taking place on it.

People don't know ahead of time if a show will be bad, and given the nature of the casual fan, I doubt they remember that WWE suggested this weeks Raw would be a lame duck affair. Even if they did, the hype for the main event and everything still should have been strong enough to still make people tune in and stay tuned in. The casual fan would be too fickle to be able to not tune in.

Hahahahahaha .... oh please. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you back that 'statement' up at all?

They did one hour live, and taped the rest for airing on the following weeks. When Raw was taped in four hour blocks, it was usually the last hour, where the spoilers had the most time to spread, that did the best in ratings.

<----ahem <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seriously though, the rating, IIRC, is still better than during the early days of Raw. Weren't they doing in the 2s back then? Personally, I think most people felt this would be a nothing show because of the Homecoming show, and just decided to wait until next week to watch. We'll have to see. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The rating is still bad. If they did a 2.9, would it not be so bad because they used to that number anyway? I would have thought most WWE fans would expect them to do something big to go out in style, or even do something insane to stick it to Spike. Personally, the argument that people didn't tune in because they were waiting for next week comes across like a cop out.

It looks like that, but hopefully TNA can edit it so it looks like dynamite. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, the beauty of taping shows versus live ones. I never got why Raw didn't go to taping after WCW went under. The whole reason for doing live shows was so 1) Eric couldn't spoil the results so much and 2) The so called "anything can happen" so don't tune out mentality. Once WCW went the way of the dodo, live shows should've gone by the way side. Lord knows Raw could've used some editing the last 4 years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And it's not like they'd have to tape Raw on a different day. Just tape it in the afternoon, and they'd have plenty of time to edit out anything that shouldn't make it to air.

It looks like that, but hopefully TNA can edit it so it looks like dynamite. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are taping the first two shows at the same time correct? Just have Styles and Roderick re-do the match and have a better match and no botched finish. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They are taping them one after the other, yes, so they can do just that. Just have Strong do a dark promo demanding a rematch, have a second match, and splice that into the first show.

It looks like that, but hopefully TNA can edit it so it looks like dynamite.

And before the ill-informed here, and you know who you are, try to use this as an excuse for any ratings drop, don't even try. The difference is statistically insignificant.
