A 0.2 drop is considered disappointing? Huh, interesting. WWE pre-football season was getting around 4's. They haven't made up *any* ground since then. Given that this show was built around the "big announcement" for mania, more people should have been watching. They got the same rating as Smackdown did last week. That has gotta be a first.

Wait...McMahon, Austin, Two Blondes, Kane, UT Tease and Bischoff all headlined...we cant blame benoit! NO! Why would you blame Benoit? He's a loser. The show was built around McMahons gigantohuge WM announcement and his fight with Bischoff.

Yeah, her desperate plea to know about Lindsay opened her character up ALOT. All of that bravado, when deep down inside it's all because of a schoolgirl crush. I'd hit it. -

Old One, birthing from a body...again. I thought Jasmine was a Power that be that turned bad. Have they been planning to have Evil Knox from the outset? Dude, it's Jonathon Woodward - when HAVEN'T they turned him evil ? I dunno, this episode just blew me away in every facet. Seriously, my mind exploded when I heard the Astronaut/Caveman thing. My avatar, it was exactly like that. Blood pouring out of every oriface. I'm covered in it right now and couldn't be happier. Me typing here, it's just an echo of my formerself. I have died and gone to heaven and God truly is Joss Whedon. The world it created - the Hole in the World especially - shows that team Mutant Enemy is still surpassing themselves creatively. I LOOOOOOOOOOVED that hole in the world thing, I was expecting Spike to spit down it. Dude, I've read the spoilers, and you're going to be A LOT sadder, trust me. This thing goes deep. -

WrestleMania Top 10 Matches Special Announced

Ric Flair was in 2 wrestlemanias, that were 10 years apart. Shawn Michaels would be a better choice. Of course, I'd rather listen to Flair than HBK, so... excuse this. Rock/Hogan... Flair/Savage... Austin/Hart Steamboat/Savage TLC 2 hOGAN/Andre Rock/Austin x7 Owen/Bret are the automatics...The other two will be wild card matches... Silly, you forgot the Hollywood Backlot Brawl, The blindfold match, LT vs. Bam Bam, Shane vs. Vince... -

1. Wesley shooting out the guys kneecap was so fucking boss. SO BOSS. It's fucking Bruce Lee Big Boss. And what happens when Wes finds out that Knox, Gunn and Angel are involved? WHAT THEN!?!??!?!?! OOOOOOOOOOH LORDY!!!!!!!! 2. This episode, top to bottom, was fucking HOT. Off the charts hot. HOT!!!!!!!! FUCK, there needs to be a new word invented to describe the level of absolute hotness this episode had. Everything worked, everyfuckingthing. FUCK YEAH! WHOOOOOOOO! Thats why I watch television! Thats why everything fucking else on today can't touch. FUCK THE FROG! Man, throughout the whole show I was like "shit" "fuck" "OH DADDY" "THIS IS AWSOME!" WHO WAS I TALKING TO??! I DON'T KNOW! BUT I STILL SAID IT!!! 3. The arguing and the Caveman/Astronaut thing had me laughing for a solid minute. No exagerration, fuck that was some of the funniest shit I have ever fucking heard. I knew it would be over nothing but shit, that's really nothing! And I loved how Wes got into it and Fred and Lorne did too. Fucking brilliant. 4. Man, shit, Gunn fucking owns. Owns shit. Gunn fucking owns shit. Season 5 is Gunn. Gunn is Season 5. To know Gunn is to love Gunn, to love Season 5 is to know and love Gunn. The scene with the Conduit, the scene with Knox. Listening to show tunes and then merging it into rap to protect his rep was fucking brilliant. Him saying he and Fred got back together again even had ME! AND I READ THE FUCKING SPOILERS! AM I AN IDIOT? I DUNNO! I STILL WAS FOOLED! MY GAWD THE CAPS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS! LET'S THROW IN A TIDLE~!!~!~!~!!!~! 5. Knox's "oops" and grin was fucking priceless. Absolutely fucking priceless. That totally redeemed him. Holden rocked. Tracy rocked. Knox ROCKED! Give that man a hooker cause he deserves to get laid! BOOYAH GRANDPA!~ 6. Fred and Wes, shit, I was watching that and was thinking "eh, this isn't really effecting me." and then near the end I was like "Shit BOY, are you gonna tear up?! YOU WANNA BOTTLE?!" Fuck that's some good shit right there. Mostly due to EMOTIONAL Wes, because his relationship with Fred was years in the making and after he finally gets her she dies on him. 7. Spike and Angel rule~! That's all I really have to say. The no lie guy (was he from something else? Cause I sure as fuck don't remember him. Did Angel do a crossover with DUNE?) was cool, if not irrelevant. That whole tomb was neato. Shit, I'm running out of adjectives to describe how fucking awesome this episode was. Fuck it. If saying "fucking awesome" a hundred times doesn't clue you in that this was fucking awesome, then you fucking suck! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get mad... this is about love. Love for Angel. Love for God and Love... otherwise known as Joss FUCKING Whedon. FUCK THE WB! FUCK THE FROG! WHY MUST YOU TAKE THIS AWAY!?!?!??! 8. Lorne finally gets his scene and he fucking nearly steals the motherfucking show with it! I liked how he threw in the Fred and Green thing, cause that really showed how Fred was such a nice girl and how everyone was fighting for her. It really was effective. They all had their reasons, and it all was believable. I love that shit down. I love that shit down hard. 9. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! It was so good, SO GOOD. SOOOOO GOOOOOOOD!!!! I read the spoilers, saw what was coming, really liked what I saw, but I didn't think it would be THIS good. ShiT, it gets even better too! This is going to be a very memorable season. 10. The only doubt I have is Fred as Illyra. I dunno if she can totally pull it off. But fuck it, with episodes like this they could have a motherfucking sock puppet as the villain and it'd still come off as gold. -

So basically, you don't like it because you feel they can easily just move him back to down to the midcard? There are several reasons why I don't like it. One of which is that it doesn't make Eddie strong enough to maintain his spot like true main eventers do. I won't argue that that isn't a legitimate point, but that thinking is just impossibily negative for me to accept. Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle are two examples of weak main eventers who fell down the card after losing the title. Different circumstances, yes, but the concept remains the same. It's not as impossible as you think. Negative? Of course, whattya expect, Overwhelming optimism that they'll do the right thing with his title run despite not doing the right thing with his title build?

I'd say from July is when he had ME level heat, but remember, they were still running the Brock/Angle program. They hesitated on pulling the trigger, but I think it payed off in that he's more over now after beating Chavito Since they brought him up so quickly from the mid-card, it makes it very easy for them to bring him back down. Had they used that 6 months to build him up to the spot rather than shooting him up, it would have been harder to bring him down. Building Eddie up wouldn't have hurt the Brock/Angle program, infact I think that Angle would have been the perfect buffer to bring Eddie up into a feud with Brock. Instead they had him fight Cena (win), Big Show (loss), the Bashams (loss), and Chavo (win). That's not exactly a _strong_ record to be going into a championship slot with. They could have still done the Chavo feud (except not spending months building it to finish it off in one match), but *before* an Angle feud. They have it backwards, Angle first, Brock second. Right now it's more like correcting the mistake rather than enhancing the champion. And my complaint that they never showed anything of Eddies drug addiction still rings true now. They're basing Angles whole heel turn on this concept that "Eddie is an addict" and the basis of it is still on word alone.
-
To be fair, they really only had so much time to build around the Eddie/Chavo and Brock/Goldberg feuds. They had at least 6 months to bring Eddie up to a main event position. From August where he got huge heat (and I'd go so far as to say May), to January. They took that time and did very little with it and instead just hotshotted him up. To be fair, they had lots of time and boxed themselves into a corner after they misused so much of it.
-
Yes, very few weren't. There were also _a lot_ of people who were going nuts over Benoit winning the Rumble despite it leading to a feud with HHH and Michaels for the World Title. Hell, I think *I* am the only one who wasn't happy with both. I am actually kinda flattered that my opinion carries that much weight that I be mistakened for the entire board population.
-
Prediction: Benoit will win the title, but we'll say it's a meaningless win because he won it in a 3-way and also it is not the "real" world title, just a cheap imitation, etc. Prove me wrong. Ok, the majority of the people here (this "we") will be excited that Benoit has won the title despite all those things being true. You are looking at the minority and thinking it is larger than it is. Infact, the amount of ignorant posters who are just happy that Benoit is getting 'a' title is much larger than those who think he was better off on Smackdown.
-
Eddy Guerrero wins the title...we bitch because it only had three weeks of hype. We CAN NOT be statisfied. It's impossible. 1. If you recall the thread, there was me and maybe 3 or 4 others who actually weren't satisfied with the feud. There were _considerably_ more people who were for it. "We" as reperesenting the majority, is not correct. 2. You make it sound like 3 weeks out of no where isn't something to be dissatisfied with. So if you are talking about "we" as in "me", since I was the main detractor from the Eddie/Brock "feud", then the reference to Randy Orton does not hold water as I haven't been in the "anti-Orton" camp nor ever plan on being there.

There should be the Charter of Katie Vick, where -as decided by members of TSM- stupid things that the WWE has done and established be officially forgotten and never brought up again in the hopes of lessening frustration in the future. We could stick it at the top of the page and amend it often.

We're not exactly seeing Vince v Steph hyped for PPVs anymore, are we? The focus of Smackdown is off of Vince and Steph and is on Eddy Guerrero. They're not even on TV right now. Vince is showing up occasionally to make announcements and further storylines, yes. I expect that much. If I have to choose any McMahon to appear on TV, I'd pick Vince. Hell, he's still a great character, he's just overexposed. He's not in a storyline going into Wrestlemania. He's not in a 'feud'. That's a landmark improvement. He's still dominating television every time he is there (which is often, coughRAWcough) and he completely undermines and destroys any credibility the GM's have (BOTH). The GM's (Authority Figure) is still used waaaay too much and with them being bumbling idiots every week and The McMahon family the only authority figures who can do right, it just guarantees more McMahon involvement. THIS IS BAD. Yes. What does that have to do with anything? Are you telling me you haven't seen a difference in WWE matches at all in the last couple of months? Not really. The "new style" was to cut down on injuries, right? The Triple German suplex certainly isn't "safe" by any means. It's still there. Infact, the Guerrero/Lesnar match which is heralded as being from the "new style" had _tons_ of needless suplexes. But if you care to explain to me what constitutes this "new style", I'd be more than welcome to entertain it. I'm glad they've slowed things down, but most of the guys on the roster -- the one you seem to think is so rich, which is myth, there are about 15-20 'good' workers in the company, It's not a myth. Their roster is LOADED with Talent: Benoit, Guerrero, Michaels, Ultimo Dragon, Rey Mysterio Jr., Jericho, Tajiri, Guido, etc. etc. and is loaded with names: Goldberg, HHH, Taker, Austin, Foley, etc. etc. AND you ignore the fact that they could have _anyone_ they want. No one left on this deep roster? Which is it, Rudo? Does the company have a deep roster they're not utilizing or do they have such a weak roster that they need Benoit to bail them out in the build to Wrestlemania? It's not both; it can't be. If you're arguing that they do have the talent, but it's not being used, then by proxy you are admitting that Benoit is being pushed at a strong enough level to be taken seriously when competing for the world title. Oooh, ya got me there! ::rollseye:: Let's see, Ric Flair RVD, Kane, Michaels, Steiner, Booker, Nash, Goldberg... all were used before Benoit. They fed 8 guys to HHH in a year. *4* of those people were brought in *specifically* to face HHH. They used up all the possible opponents on RAW, so they had to bring someone in from Smackdown. The possible people? Big Show: Heel, Angle: Did a big angle with him already, may be saved for later on, Brock: Heel... Cena is the only guy that could have been placed in that position besides Benoit and can't nearly get the same type of match that HHH would want for Mania. Though I have no doubt HHH will get his grubby hands on Cena sooner or later. Benoit is the only guy they had left. Do you realize that Benoit has been pushed harder in WWE than Rob Van Dam? Really? I could have sworn RVD didn't look like an complete idiot in every single show leading up to his title bout(s). That Eddy Guerrero has been pushed harder than Chris Jericho? No, Jericho actually got a buffer feud with Rock before getting the title. Eddie went from mid-card straight to champion in 3 weeks. Do you realize that neither of the former have gained near the crowd reaction of the latter, at their peaks? Benoit and Eddie got *much* bigger reactions than RVD and Jericho in their peaks. Benoit in Edmonton vs. Austin was one of the most heated matches I have ever seen. Eddie in Cali and Texas during the summertime was extremely hot as well. If we're talking about peaks... You could make arguments for Benoit and Eddy not being pushed for all these years, but as long as you continue to use the logic that past mistakes are unforgivable, WWE will never, ever, ever be able to dig themselves out of the hole they've fallen into with you because all they can do is understand that they've made mistakes, try something new by pushing new stars and move on. And as long as you ignore the past you won't have the right perspective. If they really wanted to push Eddie and Benoit they would have done so before. Why now? If they really wanted to get Eddie to the moon, then they would have actually -you know- BUILD HIS TITLE RUN RATHER THAN GIVING HIM 3 WEEKS. If they wanted Benoit to be a strong champion they wouldn't make him look like a dolt. Everything is not an absolute. If I had to guess, Vince sees talent in Benoit and knows he's a hard worker, although he thinks something is missing in him. That said, he still *intends* to push him hard this year. Whether or not that sees itself to fruition, I think that's the intention. Ah, so he's giving Benoit a hand-out, a gold watch, how nice. When, exactly, does this "hard push" come about this year? Yes, I know about the road to hell. With Eddy, I think Vince genuinely likes him and sees him as less of a gamble because he is consistently over and has been gaining momentum the past few months. He thinks he's a little small to be the champ, but he's going to give it a shot. Eddie Guerrero was over by Springtime. They turned him heel. The fans wouldn't boo Eddie, so they kinda ignored that. That summer he was mega over. Did they do _anything_ to build him up to a ME program? No, they kept him in the midcard. They even had him lose to Big Show whom Brock beat on several occasions. Then they did the program with Chavo. Then, like magic, he's in the main event. They don't normally do that to the guys they "really" want to push. They usually have long-term plans for them and start it up months in advance. Not so much for Eddie. One thing about Vince -- he makes some boneheaded decisions, he lets wrestlers with agendas influence him too much and he's a mark for size, but he does not consciously push anyone with the goal of burying them. However he does push guys and angles with reluctance and with half-heartedness because he still clings to old values. He'll end it very quickly if he doesn't see what he wants to see. Meanwhile, if he really wants it, even if he doesn't like what he sees he will stick with it until it eventually gets over. If Vince doesn't get behind something 100%, it's fucked. Eddy Guerrero is in a position to carry the company RIGHT NOW. He doesn't have a strong enough foundation in the Main Event. He could lose it and go right back to the midcard and it will be as if nothing had happened. I don't think Benoit can carry the company, because his speaking skills are so weak. But if he can be made a fixture in the main event scene, a top guy, if not the top guy, the guy you go to when someone being elevated needs a great match or to work an extended storyline with a worker who needs to improve who's on his way up the ladder, Benoit is the perfect guy. Disagreed Totally. There is a way that Benoit can carry the company, but you have to work it a specific way. It takes a lot of work and effort and you have to position him just right. There is *too much* there for the fans to ignore and not get behind, but the WWE won't go that way so he'll be a failure on top. If he's treated with respect in that role, and he stays above the upper midcard, he's being used properly. He stays above the upper midcard? WHAT? Are we forgetting the period between Wrestlemania and No Mercy? Benoit's stays near the top are very inconsistent. Benoit is NOT USED PROPERLY. Fuck, please tell me how he is being used properly, because I guess him getting beat up week in and week out and looking like a fucking idiot can't get through to you, so YOU explain this concept to ME. He has not used up his other options at this point. One could argue that, despite their poor treatment, Jericho and Van Dam would be safer bets than Benoit and Guerrero at this point, because they're still over and the fans perceive them as stars. Instead of pushing them, he's trying with Benoit and Eddy. They've already pushed Jericho and Van Dam against. Multiple times, infact. Whether or not they should be 'proud' of it is irrelevant. They turned him face when fans were cheering him. Again, Jericho was having to fight crowds to keep them booing him at various points in 2003 and was not turned face until earlier this year. Flair is pushed as a heel, despite the fans wanting to cheer him. The fact that they let the fans dictate the direction of John Cena means that they made the right decision. And John Cena being straight from OVW and a home-picked talent has nothing to do with them being a lil more receptive to it? The WWE doesn't care about their fans, if it suits their interests then they'll go along with it, but if it doesn't, "ah what do they know, they're marks". It's not a huge accomplishment, actually, and that's the beauty of wrestling -- it's so simple. So why is Matt Hardy absolutely nowhere? I've seen many cases, as I mentioned above, where the fans wanted to go in one direction and they took the wrestler in another. The fact that they turned Cena face shows that they were paying attention. But they didn't turn him face; They just accepted that he was a face and made him fight heels. There are two criterias which make a face: Face = Cheered by fans. Face = Plays for Cheers. Cena did both even when positioned against other faces. What, pray tell, marked the change; when was this face turn? They've been marketing them for months, not just since No Way Out. Quite the accomplishment when Eddy and Rey are considered two of the top ten stars on Smackdown based on internal marketing profiles. But they're still 'enhancement talent'? Right ... They've been "marketing" Rey very inconsistently and Eddie has only recently been pushed that way. Torrie Wilson was also on that list, Loss, not exactly the best reference point to use. And yes, they are still enhancement talent. Rey gets sent out there to get thrown around, and Eddie is there to get out a good match. If they were serious about either then they would put time and effort into them. Fair enough, although being Jewish is also considered a race. Hence, when someone makes an offensive comment toward the Jewish, it's considered racist. There can be Black Jews, there can be Asian Jews. When should they have started hyping the PPV? WWE is not to blame for that. There were only three weeks between PPVs. They used the only chance they had. Take your complaints to Father Time, or man for inventing calendars. I'll take my complaints to those who believe they couldn't have done something before the RR PPV. Which, oh my, appears to be the WWE. A Wrestlemania that spends all of its time playing to the past, to wrestlers that can do them no good at this point, is not consistent with a Wrestlemania that features Chris Benoit and Eddy Guerrero as headliners. Are you saying that Chris Benoit - a Canadian Technical Wrestler - and Eddie Guerrero - a rule breaker - could not play to the WMs of old?(I'll connect the dots for you, Benoit is Bret Hart at WM 10, Eddie Guerrero is Steve Austin at WM 13) I agree 100% here. WWE is often very guilty of having their cake and wanting to eat it too. That doesn't mean that the JERICHO/TRISH STORYLINE is not an attempt to draw in a female audience. It's not. If they were attempting to draw in a female audience they wouldn't have i)Trish playing such a passive role where two men are manipulating her, ii)The other degrading storylines on the show. I'm open minded and creativity means shit in wrestling (just ask Vince Russo), and a press conference would be a nice touch. Creativity is what separates "they couldn't have done anything else" (you) from "they could have done this, and this, and this" (me). It's about possibilities. There are other, better, possibilities that involves Benoit on Smackdown than there are with Benoit on RAW. The Vince Russo comment just proves that you can't see outside the box, as that was clearly not the intent I was going for. I respect your wrestling knowledge Loss, but you're saying "they couldn't do anything else" (or something like that) an awful lot. But I'm pretty sure if they actually did that, you would ask why they're doing so many jumps and reference Vince's doctrine in 2002 that jumps can only take place if a trade is done between RAW and Smackdown. Yes, they could still use your scenario and it would work and I would like it. But, please understand, that, as a fantasy booker, if WWE doesn't always take *your* route, that doesn't mean it's not the right one. There is often more than one way to skin a cat. Sure there is, and they're using a chain saw. Their route *sucks*. They haven't up until now. They are now. This is a sign of improvement. This is how wrestling works. No, if they were improving then they would be building each of them up strong for their respective title run. That is how wrestling works. I'd agree that the chances of that are high based on others who have gotten pushed at that level and fallen off, but it has not happened yet. It will. Which is why it's so bad. Benoit and Guerrero (Benoit especially) will be looked at as "Well, they were good workers, but when given the ball..." and their stock will dramatically fall. It did not go against it at all. Being 'the best' and winning the world title are the exact same thing. They're synonymous. They're one and the same. There is absolutely no difference. So if Belt = Best, then why didn't he stay on Smackdown where the superior belt is? (even to Benoit, the WWE title is more important than the world title). And, using your theory that title = best, if the champion got stripped of the title for no reason, would he still be the best? He didn't lose it to any one, so no one is "better" than him. What if someone just gets handed the title without earning it? My predictions are that January gets tied in to their current feud. We're due an Angle promo. If we don't get one Thursday night, I'll agree. If not, you're jumping the gun. "The final segment was Kurt Angle coming to the ring to explain why he attacked Eddie last week. He says he did it for us, because Eddie’s a former drug addict and was a bad role model for kids (since encouraged lying, cheating, and stealing). Drugs are bad, mmmmkay? It hurt Kurt to attack Eddie, but he did it for us. Kurt said he’d win at Wrestlemania and be the kind of champion we could be proud of. Of course, Eddie would then sneak up behind Kurt and attack him. Paul Heyman would come out with his fake cops, and have Eddie arrested and hauled off in handcuffs. Eddie’s going to have to spend the night in jail! Angle would taunt Eddie all the way outside and to the police car and yell at him as the police drove away." Benoit is better off than he was six months ago. Therefore, this has helped him. Simple as that. But he's not better off than he was in Decemeber against Brock. Therefore, it has hurt him. And, when his title reign is over and he's sent to the midcard and him being a failure, it will have DEFINITELY hurt him and make 6 months ago look like a far-off dream. It's still a storyline mid-stream. I don't get the feeling that you understand that storylines don't take place in five minutes and leaving questions open to be answered is a good thing. There are _fundamental_ issues in that relationship which begs questioning that the WWE cannot conceivably answer (unless, of course, they go my "InsAngle" route). This is all discussed in another thread, but the basics are "Why is Angle meddling in the Guerrero's affairs when he has never shown interest before?". I get the feeling that you don't care about plot holes like that. Well, muy feeling is justified because you _said_ that, while yours is based on nothing. I've made my point clear on this, just as you've made yours. Actually you haven't. I don't see how the World Title -in Benoits eyes- is greater than the WWE title. Especially considering his history with the title and the wrestler holding it. They are undercard storylines that get little to no TV time to develop. Knoble and Nidia didn't get time?! It went on for MONTHS! Little Johnny was months ago and you're still upset about it? C'mon Loss, you said that the turn-around point was at Survivor Series. Little Johnny, as well as them completely forgetting about it, was after. As was Foley's -who was forced to retire- wrestling match. The 'blind Nidia' and Stacy/Jackie stuff is stupid, yes, but it's not getting 30 minutes a show to conclude either. You can look at *any* period in the history of pro wrestling and there's always going to be some bad with the good. The bad not only outweighs the good, the bad overwhelms it. That was pre-Survivor Series. Yes, so it was. 6 days before. Ok, then POST-SS they didn't resolve it. Point still stands. I'd say the storylines are at about 75% good actually, if not higher. Oh, I'd LOVE to hear you justify this. The matches? You're probably right. But the fact that they're making real efforts to change the style shows that they're at least trying to improve in that area. "Real efforts" lol. I know what real effort is, what they're doing now is not a real effort. The difference is negligible, but I look forward to your explanation on how the new style is different from the old style. But hey, they're "trying"!~! If I see an attempt to improve I can let a lot slide because it's an acknowledgement that the current direction isn't working. That's the difference between you and me. They've been saying "rebuilding process" for almost 3 years now. When will they be "rebuilt"? The difference between you and me is that I expect more out of them than just half-hearted effort. You're treating them like 2 year olds where if they go a day without breaking something and shitting on the floor it's something to be celebrated. Keep telling yourself that. In the meantime, I'll be watching Eddy Guerrero defend the world title. I'm not telling myself anything. They're clearly doing it. In the meantime, I'll be watching Chris Benoit bomb through no fault of his own and then I'll see both of them in the midcard.
