Question. Is the reason traffic has slowed down here because people lost interest in wrestling or have they moved on to another site? I have been a member here since 2002 and have never seen it this slow.

What happened to her nice double D's? She looks a lot like Julia Roberts with that hair color.

The Attitude era and the few years after were gold: Late 1997 - late 2001

Didn't Vince blame the downfall of ratings due to wrestlers breaking kayfabe outside the ring?

What's the rating for "Superstars"?

People don't buy tickets or order PPVs to see the Undertaker. Sure, he is a good entertainer, but if he is the main face of your franchise, you are in trouble.

1. They were running low on time for the Event. 2. JBL was pretty banged up and injured. I do not think he could have taken too many bumps and I believe it was stated that he was fine with the way things went. He just wanted his last match to be at WrestleMania and in his homestate of Texas. They couldn't push it to a 4-5 minute match? 20 seconds is embarassing and someone of the stature of JBL deserved better as a farewell match in his home state. Sure, he didn't revolutionize the industry, but I'm not advocating him retiring with the belt either. A respectful last match would have been appropriate. Why are you bitching about it? JBL already said himself he was completely happy with the way things went down. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if JBL proposed the idea himself. "Completely happy"? It's called not burning your bridges in case future project doesn't work out.

I still can't believe the way they treated JBL. A loyal soldier getting humiliated in the industry's biggest event.

By the way, it was Israel that practically invented terrorism. Read about Menachem Begin and the Jewish uprising against the British.

All Arabs must be the same to you, right? What does 20 other Arab nations have to do with Palestinians? Palestinians are distinct than Egyptians, Syrians, Jordanians, etc. The Palestinian people don't even have a country. Like a previous poster mentioned, it's not the fact that Israel has a country that bothers them, it's the location. I believe Uganda was one option that the UN considered in the 1940s to establish the Jewish state. I bet you Israel would live in peace today if the country ended up there.

I wonder if WWE's website ran the same survey, if they would censor Benoit's name. If they do the best 10 matches of the decade DVD in 2010, would they be able to ignore benoit?

Freddy's blog was embarassing. he sounded like a 14 year old. I officially retract my earlier posts. How can anyone take him seriously in creative meetings?

I have an idea for Prinze as an on air talent leading to Wrestlemania next spring. Have him be a face manager for a tag team. Make him the guy next door, an honest, hard working, man with high integrity that never cheats nor distracts the referee. Have him give promos about values and morals. Show videos of him backstage analyzing film for hours to study the opponents. His tag team constantly has chances to be champions but always come up short because of honest rookie managerial mistakes by Prinze. The tag team decide to turn on prinze and in the process turn heel. They win the belt the next month. An underdog tag team decides to hire Prinze. Learning from past mistakes, Prinze brings his tag team to a tag title match at Wrestlemania vs the tag team that kicked him to the curb.

Prinze will be more valuable as an on air talent than behind the scenes. make him a manager and give him a bit of mic time.

The way the WWE is treating JR is disgusting and childish. I am in no way a big JR fan, but I can't understand why they keep treating him like dirt. The man has put a lot in the business and has had to overcome a lot too. He has earned the right to be respected.

is she still married to billy kidman? i still dont understand how billy pulled that off

Good heel promo. Rock, circa 2003.

If Rock hates HBK so much, then why did he put him over big time Saturday by saying he would love to have a match with him as he never faced him.

Is it the WWE hall of fame or the Wrestling hall of fame? If it's the former, why is Flair inducted? They should change it to the Wrestling Hall of fame.

I see a few "3 am" references in this thread. What's behind it? something Barack said?

Liberals want to avoid an election because the poll numbers aren't good. No point for them to have an election and lose and give the conservatives a majority government. So, the liberals decide to sit on their hands and avoid voting in the House. Like that, the government doesn't get defeated and gives the liberals some time to improve their poll numbers. It doesn't take much in politics for things to change. A scandal here and there and you never know.

The reason there can be minority governments in Canada is because there are more than 2 political parties. In Canada, the political party that gets the most seats forms the government. Just like in the US, where the party that wins the most electoral vote wins. There are 307 seats in Canada (307 regions that have a seat, the power to send a representative to the House). Thus, to have a majority, a political party needs 154 seats. With 154 seats, they can vote the laws they want without the opposition stopping them. There are 4 political parties who have seats in canada: Conservatives have around 124. The 3 opposition parties combined have 183. Thus, the government needs an alliance with at least another party to vote laws. For comparison purposes, let's say the States had a credible 3rd party. There are 537 electorate votes in the States. A majority is 269. Let's say the Republicans get 260, the Dems 240 and the Green Party 37. That would be a minority government, although the Senate plays a much bigger role in the States.

Yes. 5 years ago, I would have said no way. Flair has been long enough in the business to understand when to suck up to powerful and influential people.

How deep is this rift between HBK and Rocky? Rock was a midcarder when HBK was in the heavyweight division. Rock was at his peak when HBK was on the shelf with a back injury, so I'm not sure how frequently they crossed paths. Is this tension by association because of HHH? Or because of what HBK did to his good friend Bret Hart?
