    Angle/Brock

    I'd agree with that...

    Angle/Brock

    Team Angle bombed. Not in the "Haas and Benjamin suck" way, but in the "Two guys who are specialized in defeating Brock Lesnar" way - which they clearly weren't. Benjamin wasn't only a former teammate of Brock, he helped TRAIN Brock. Charlie Haas was "the next kurt angle". Did the WWE really enhance either of these attributes? No, of course not. They just played the "let's beat Brock down/let's bump for Brock" role that anyone could have played (the WWE has since gone on to make Tajiri's gang the same, as well as Brock's "heavies".) That part of the Angle/Lesnar feud bombed.. and it could have been something ORIGINAL and lasted for at least 2 PPV's (hmm, like Royal Rumble and NWO). Instead they did Brock vs. Big Show... which they did throughout Brock vs. Angle.... which also ruined it. Then there is Angle/Lesnar itself - they had MONTHS to make Kurt Angle look STRONG and they couldn't even do it for a week. There was no point in the course of that feud where I thought "Gee, maybe Kurt could actually win" AND KURT IS THE FUCKING CHAMPION! Yes, Brock is bigger. Yes, Brock is stronger. But Kurt has more experience, is at a higher level in terms of being an olympic gold medalist, is smarter, and is quicker... so how do they play this up? BY HAVING ERIC ANGLE SUB-IN?! FUCKING CHRIST! BY HAVING THE FEUD STILL CENTRED ON HEYMAN vs. LESNAR? FUCKING FUCK! Angle/Lesnar was a simple feud to book. It was HANDED to them, and they had to do what they always do and that's fuck it up with their over-booking and formulaic bullshit. And that was just the first part of their feud. The Second part had Angle coming back to an awesome video package and all-of-a-sudden he's best friends with Brock Lesnar! OOOOOOK! "Brock called me on the phone and checked up on me and we talked in the hospital and became good friends" RIIIIGHT, and during the whole time Kurt was laid up in hospital did we see Brock on the phone talking to him? Would it have killed them to have Brock hang up the phone with "ok, talk to you later, hope you get better soon" a few times to PROVE that Brock and Kurt talked? We're supposed to take their word for it? Their relationship was built on a shakey foundation as we, the fans, had no actual connection and did not see their friendship form - so why should we care about it? We shouldn't and we didn't. The Brock/Angle friendship was just fucking bad. Then Angle turns on Team Angle for the same reason (in the opposite direction) that he is best buds with Brock - for off-screen reasons. Here's an idea WWE - SHOW, DON'T TELL! And that didn't even lead to a PPV match or anything. One would think that the break-up of a major part of Smackdown for a few months would warrant some sort of high-profile match. Nope. To make matters worse, Kurts "Big Comeback" where he was gunning for the title was botched when he didn't even gun for the title. He came back and his first target(s) were Big Show and Team Angle. Add that to "my-new-best-bud" Brock being the title holder and there was no emotional investment in his quest for the title. Fucking bullshit. Again, the WWE being handed something and them botching it through over-booking and formula. Adding to this was the fact that Big Show one-upped BOTH men and became the focus of the Vengeance match. So Kurt wins the title in a *3 way*, because lord-knows they have to stretch out Brock vs. Angle. 3 ways somehow take away from the fact that Brock and Angle were still wrestling each other in that match. And why not have Kurt make his triumphant title win in a disputed fashion? And then Brock turns heel. 3 Major Fuck ups. Another fuck up came when Angle tapped Brock with NO fanfare, NO hype, and NO point. The tap out factor alone was worth another match. So Brock becomes the pussy heel thus destroying a lot of the monster cred he built up a year earlier and he takes the title ON TV after a lacklustre Ironman match where he cheated several times to win the title *which they play up to this day*. There ends the feud, on TV, after 3 PPV matches... THIS is the Feud of the Year? The only reason this feud should be highlighted for anything is to show how NOT to book a feud.

    Have any of you seen the anti-PETA ads yet?

    You'd think they'd go the "Santa tortures Reindeer" route and have Santa whipping Rudolphs ass red...

    Rock vs JR

    He was screaming alright... but... not in THAT way... Good god I tried to show self-control and not refer to JR's sexual Appetite for Hosstruction, but the lure of lady temptation was too much... TOO MUCH ...

    Booker T's little stalker angle

    THE NOTE SAYS 'SORRY, WRONG GUY"!! It's FUNNY! Cause the guy who writes the note "remembered" the wrong guy!

    Rock vs JR

    Well, Stan Hansen played football... he played football. he was tuff. he wrestled good. That's the only connection I can make. The majority of wrestlers who were football players were FAILED football players (why else would they be wrestling?) - in that case, why would you even bring them up? "Oh, they're not good enough for the NFL but they're good enough for us!"... meanwhile, Monday Night Football is playing on another station. Good fucking call Jimbo, way to give free advertisement to your competition. Lilian Garcia sings the national anthem at a football game and "it's the biggest thing she's ever done" and they make a 10 minute segment on confidential on it. A football player does Booker T's "five time" hand gesture and they go on and on and on about it like it's important. The XFL bombed, stop looking to football to validate your existance Vince and Jim - you're both fucking carnys and you'll always be carnys, get over it. Edit: Curry said this, I'm just translating... man Curry, you got some hate in ya. Doesn't Smashmouth Wrestling appeal to you? It's Gridiron Goodness.

    Rock vs JR

    Since Curry said it, I can give a reasonable explanation as to why: 1) JR sucks. Ass. Man Ass. Big Fat Hosstacular Man Ass. Big Fat Smashmouth Hosstacular Man Ass. Big Fat Inverted High Impact Smashmouth Hosstacular Man Ass. 2) JR's obsession with football. It leads to crappy football references throughout the show and crappy former football players getting signed to which JR splooges over their football record like it actually means something. FUCK WHY DON'T YOU JUST COMMENTATE FOOTBALL YOU FAT FUCK! Oh yeah, you did, and you SUCKED. JUST LIKE YOU SUCK AT ANNOUNCING WRESTLING! AT LEAST GORDON SOLEY LET SOMEONE GOOD ANNOUNCE WHEN HE WAS ON THE DOWNSWING! AND JUST-IN-CASE-YOU-FORGOT-THAT-SOMEONE-WAS-YOU. BUT NNNOOOO YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY HIRE A *GOOD* ANNOUNCER, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE FUCKING COACH TAKE YOUR DUTIES IN ORDER TO MAKE YOU LOOK GOOD! So yeah, that's what Curry was saying....

    And didn't that person who tapped out wore a boxing glove God, UFC 1 sucked
  10. RavishingRickRudo

    Angle/Brock

    Yeah, but now they're best friends with little-to-no transition time to establish that. Kinda negates their whole rivalry. Not to mention Big Show had to swing Rey Jr. like a baseball bat in order to get heat.
  11. RavishingRickRudo

    Angle/Brock

    Okay. Kane vs. Shane McMahon is your feud of the year then. Kane was the first guy actually drawing ratings in two years and they killed his heat with this. I'd agree with that.
  12. RavishingRickRudo

    Rock vs JR

    They should just call themselves World Football Entertainment - they seem to care more about it than wrestling.
  13. RavishingRickRudo

    Angle/Brock

    Really, it's a matter of perspective. In a year of shitty storylines, shouldn't the shittiest be called "the best"? And shouldn't the worst be the least bad of the bunch??

    AHAHAH LOSER! I picked HBK~! I can definitely see Holly costing Brock the title and them fighting at NWO...

    Yeah, I mean, that's more important than "This undisputed title has value"...

    Booker T's little stalker angle

    There's an easy solution to this... *Booker walks down the hall and enters dressing room* *tries to turn on the lights, but they won't work* Booker: Hello? Hello? *eerie music plays* Booker: Is anyone in here? Helloooo? *Booker turns on lamp* *See's a letter there with "Booker" written on it in blood* Booker: What the hell? *Opens it* "Sorry, wrong guy."

    It would have been even better had those 2 wins been CLEAN.

    Ah shit, they're going to have Bob Holly come in and beat up Brock so Lesnar can miss a few dates and then set up a match between the two leaving Benoit out in the cold... AH SHIT.
