Dangerous A

Reasons why WWE wants nothing to do with Savage 1) He's actually more unstable than Warrior 2) He won't cooperate in any way and is uncontrolable, which the McMahon's hate. 3) He has it out big time for Hulk Hogan, who WWE still sees as a profitable commodity and they don't want to fuck up relations with a drawing card right now. In time, they'll probrably make a burial DVD about Savage. It's sad because Savage actually deserves to be in their Hall of Fame just as much, if not more than any other person alive or dead.

This is the best take on this subject in all of this thread.

Running back thing In a league where we use 2 RB's and 1 RB/WR Which 3 RB's should I use out of the 4 W. McGahee K. Jones M. Anderson S. Gado

Hopefully, we get a hint on who will be heading the Invasion with Bret

Eddie's match versu Rey at HH 97. You can't beat a five star affair. A lot of Eddie's Black Tiger work in NJPW from 93-95 was awesome, as well as his AAA work as part of Los Gringos Locos. In WWE, my favorite Eddie match would probrably be his title win over Brock because of what it meant to him.

Actually, I watched the show and it wasn't a special about Eddie. It was just a segment on Rita Cosby's show. The whole show wasn't dedicated to Eddie. Hell, Natalee Holloway got more play on the show than Eddie did.

They need to hold off on Christian and not hot shot anything to him. Despite being one of the top stars right off the bat, he still needs elevating. I think this Monty/Christian match should be a test to see if Monty can hold his own. If he has a good match, then it'll indicate he can at least be carried by someone. If not, coupled with the poor performance against Jeff Hardy, I think you have to take Monty down a peg or two.

Angle potentially dying could be the one that opens the flood gates about drugs in the wrestling industry. You have an olympic gold medalist who enters pro wrestling and dies young. Yeah, that one would be pretty big.

Vince McMahon's "Viva La Raza" was incredibly awkward and annoying. The rest of the Raw tribute was fine.

After seeing Monty's match with Jeff Hardy, I'm not so sure he's ready for a spot at the top. I'm questioning a Monty Brown title reign now.

Why is that?

Picked this up at Best Buy last night for $19.99 Copped the last one too. Still haven't watched it yet. Still gotta watch Joe vs Kobashi, which came in the day before.

I need to hear that proceeds from the show go to Eddie's family for me to sign off on this.

Even then, it pretty much doesn't matter because Raw doesn't get any of the ad revenue no matter if it gets a 2.0 or 8.0 rating. Basically, from here on out, they should be primarily concerned with the rating for the Raw before and Raw after a PPV, since that indicates how many people were watching and perhaps influenced to purchase the show. The follow up is just as important. BTW, glad to see RRR in full force this afternoon, saying what needs to be said since there is an elephant in the room and no one is talking about it.

TNA iMPACT got a 0.7 rating, the lowest since it's been on Spike TV. From PWTorch.com They really need to focus on creating TV stars and characters, like right fucking now. Not good going into Genesis. (although I think with the death of Eddie, that'll be the built in excuse, and it's actually a viable one)

As Laz brought up, they are the same ass kicking persona, but one is a loud and outward personality and the other is more quiet and subtle. Joe's body of work is more solid, but he also had a lot more freedoms and Taz was already working with a repaired broken neck when he started his big ECW push. Would still have been a killer matchup.

As twisted as that sounds, it's not far from the truth. I also echo RRR's sentiments. The shows are par for the course. They don't deserve a pat on the back for shit they should already be doing. When they go above and beyond, then give me a call.

God Bless this post and this poster.

I've had the same piece of shit stuck in my head for about a week now. I only ever get the absolute worst dreck stuck and that is certainly no expection. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I didn't think anything could be worse than this drivel by Black Eyed Peas. Then I heard "Laffy Taffy". I want to die now.

Bet that the 'E' forgets about all this when one of their wrestlers or representatives goes on his show to help hype either Playboy or Wrestlemania.

They sure didn't. Nocioni is not supposed to be your leading scorer with 17. Everyone was just off on the Bulls.

This is correct. The only way "average" looking guys get over in wrestling is if they 1) are allowed and can execute blowaway things in the ring a la AJ Styles or 2) if they are charismatic and have presence on the mic. Bigger guys just have it easier because they don't have to do as much. It's a big reason why the WWE Cruiserweights are a joke. They aren't allowed to bust out stuff they need to get over. They are told to get over using WWE style of how to work. How are the fans supposed to get into Spanky and Frankie Kazarian punching and kicking each other and they are the same size, if not smaller than the fans whereas if Taker, JBL, or whatever Main Event WWE guy are doing it, it works for them because of their size.

The Japan tour system is a model I'd like to see WWE adopt, or at least use as a base for what they do. You do shows for 2 1/2-3 weeks and usually build to a big show to end the tour. Then the guys get a full week and a half to two weeks off to heal and be with their families. This also gives the booking team time to get stuff in order. Creatively it might even help them out since you could use the start and end of the tour as your points of where you want to go with storylines. Sort of like "by the end of the tour, we want such and such to *fill in blank*" And you could do that for everyone on the roster. Another thing they may want to consider is more tag team and 6 man tag matches for main eventers. This helps because it's more taxing on the body working a 20 minute singles match than it is for a 20 minute tag or 6 man match. In Japan, the main eventers don't work singles unless it's a tour climax show that has been built up or they need an angle in the middle of a tour. Tag matches also help the green machines they have in that it sort of helps hide their shittiness and at the same time, gets them valuable experience IN THE RING with the vets who know how to work. It also helps in re-estabishing the lost art of tag team wrestling. You can also gauge how the crowd reacts to seeing different matchups they normally don't see on TV and seeing whether or not a future program between two people who have never been paired up will work or not.

Part of it is turning a blind eye to the problem. You figure everyone is coping with some sort of injury, so why is such and such different. Then there is the pressure to perform through injury because of fear that you'll lose A) income. They are paid per house show and TV appearance and B) fear of losing their spot because they are out. Basically, the whole WWE scene needs reform in one shape or another.

One difference is Davey Boy and Hawk were notorious for their other drug use while HHH is pretty much just a steroid user. HHH doesn't like to drink, even on occasions.
