    How the IC title has fallen......

    So, um yeah....

    While I wasn't necessarily a fan of the gimmick, I see your point. What I don't get is Mecca's claim that the WWE duped everyone into thinking Albright could work simply through the gimmick. There's no basis in reality for that if you've actually seen Albright go. You took that wrong..........there were people getting pissy he got fired that hadn't seen him work in OVW. They thought he was good just because......... I wasn't trying to say Albright sucks I was trying to say the WWE did make people that had never really seen him work think he was good pretty quickly.

    So, um yeah....

    The WWE is alot better at working people than they are given credit for.........tons of people including smarks thought MVP sucked because the WWE told them he sucked and that was his gimmick......... Think of all the poeple that got upset that Brent Albright got released because "how can the WWE release such a great worker" the WWE basically wanted everyone to think he was a great worker........his gimmick was a Benoit clone. The WWE gimmicks and pushes do affect what people think of new guys even smarky fans.

    Imus Remarks

    Imus ‘fight’ is over money, fame JASON WHITLOCK - The Kansas City Star When I criticized his and Jesse Jackson’s irresponsible and divisive methods of seeking social justice Friday morning, Al Sharpton dismissed the attack by questioning my credibility to lodge a complaint. “There are always guys that are not in the ring who want to call the fight,” Sharpton said. “You know that going in the ring; you’re going to have critics … You can’t satisfy people who are not in the ring.” It’s a clever response. It ignores the obvious. Jesse and Al don’t want anyone else in the ring. They’ve turned the fight for racial equality into a money and fame pit, a place to wrestle for camera time, “consulting” jobs and handshake deals that would make NCAA investigators blush in astonishment. If people with a modicum of integrity were allowed in the ring and, more importantly, allowed to choose the opponents and the length of the battle, the money would run dry and Jesse and Al would be forced to look for real work. Fighting bums is easy. Just look at what Jesse and Al James did to Don Imus, a washed-up, recovering drug addict. They knocked out Imus in a couple of rounds. But at what cost, and what was the real purpose? The young women on the Rutgers basketball team are now targets, the recipients of death threats and harassment, according to East Coast media reports. I have no problem with young people engaging in battle and suffering severe consequences for a righteous cause. We need more of that. The people who really provided the energy for the civil rights movement were in college. But getting in harm’s way over the ignorant utterances of a shock jock? Getting in harm’s way so a coach could have her moment to tell the world about the troubles she’s known? Getting in harm’s way so Al and Jesse James can flex their muscle by beating up another tomato can? No way. It was irresponsible, self-indulgent and typical of the kind of domestic terrorism Sharpton and Jackson have come to specialize in. Again, I am not defending Don Imus. I shed no tears over his comeuppance. I simply question the motives of the people who pushed the hardest and shouted the loudest for Imus’ demise. Those people are now covering themselves with the fig leaf that they have a genuine interest in stopping the anti-black, women-objectifying language in rap music. According to Sharpton, he’s been working on this issue for a number of years. He’s clever. Fortunately, we’re not stupid. We just watched Jesse and Al sink their teeth in Imus’ rear end and not remove them until MSNBC and CBS put knives in Imus. That tenacity and enthusiasm have been completely missing from their fight to clean up hip hop. Whether we like him or not, Minister Louis Farrakhan is the only leader with a consistent position on that issue. What we get from Jesse and Al are half-hearted public relations ploys, fights that end well before any blood is drawn. It’s a game, a game Jesse and Al have mastered. You can create the appearance of putting up a fight, and that ensures no one else will enter the ring. As an example, talk with black race-car drivers about their feelings about NASCAR’s dealings with Jesse Jackson. I have. Their belief is, if you sponsor the right and enough Rainbow Coalition events, you can avoid Jesse ever bringing his circus and negative spotlight to your organization. You follow me? The ring Jesse and Al are boxing in is just as corrupt as the one where Mike Tyson sparred. In a one-year time span, under the guise of fighting for our equality, Jesse and Al contributed to putting Duke lacrosse players and Rutgers basketball players in harm’s way. For what? Was Don Imus hiding weapons of mass destruction? Were the lacrosse players an international threat to escorts? Or maybe the truth just doesn’t matter to Jesse and Al when it comes to furthering their agenda. Whatever integrity Jesse and Al say our president lacks, you have to wonder if they don’t have the exact same deficiency. If there’s a fight to push Jesse and Al out of the ring, you can sign me up. They’re an embarrassment. They disgrace the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., a great man whose efforts caused division so that we could one day come together. Jesse and Al cause division for profit, and demand from others the very things they’re unwilling to do — judge people on the content of their character and follow the truth wherever it leads, regardless of color. Truth is on the side of the righteous. Jesse and Al operate as though they don’t believe in our righteousness. They are far more dangerous than Don Imus.
  10. I'm pretty sure the reason Hemme got fired was Stephanie flipped because Hemme was hanging around HHH to much.........Stephanie she's not jealous uh huh.
  11. Check out youtube, there's a guy with the name "Mrshootinterviewv2" he has ones up with mysterio, simmons and christian....... The easiest way I've found to get his vids is just to just type in rey mysterio one of his parts for his shoot will pop up on the first page then click the mrshootinterview name instead of the vid and youll get his page which has all the links and parts on it.
  12. I guess those really are prison tat's that the bodysuit is hiding. The prison stuff was on his Wiki page but I never knew if it was actually true or not.
  13. These are from Keller so take them with a grain of salt...... Mick Foley's make a wish angle on tonight's Raw will setup his next feud. As of last week it was scheduled to be with Umaga but Nitro has been discussed as well. WWE hired Colt Cabana for two reasons. 1. He was on MTV and 2. Because CM Punk and Mr. Kennedy both put in a good word for him. He will be reporting to DSW in May. WWE is no longer doing developmental deals. Everyone is getting the same contracts now with a base pay of 30 grand a year for new guys. Once you are signed you go to 1 of 5 brands which are Raw, ECW, SD, OVW or DSW. There is talk that Todd Grisham will take over for Michael Cole as lead Smackdown announcer when he switches to Raw once JR retires. Vince is finally happy with Joey Styles commentary but he isn't even being considered for the job. Coach is said to be more happy with his current WWE role right now than ever. He didn't mind being an interviewer and host but he hated being a commentator. He really loves what he is doing right now and he and Vince get along better now than ever. The Mr. Perfect DVD will be two discs and is currently scheduled for a late fall 07 release. There is talk of making The Miz the new GM of Smackdown or Raw. The One Night Stand poster is half Lashley and half Marcus Cor Von's face. As of last week that is the planned ECW title match for the show. There is talk of doing Batista/Taker in a Hell in the Cell mach later this summer. WWE is intrested in A1 and he might be getting a contract soon. They are trying to find someone on the Indy's to do the Harry Potter gimmick that Mikey Batts turned down. The poster is Lashley and Monty...........I know there was some debate on that a little bit back.
  14. When you're 6'5 you can carry weight and not look it........Edge weighs more than Benoit does he's just 7 inches taller...... If Edge weighed 212lbs he'd look like Zach Gowen.
  15. John Cena is like Triple H and his reign of terror we might aswell accept that he's likely going to carry this belt for most of the year and when he does lose will likely regain it within a month.

    Imus Remarks

    Here's an article I think everyone should read on this......... Imus isn’t the real bad guy Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture. Thank you, Don Imus. You’ve given us (black people) an excuse to avoid our real problem. You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson another opportunity to pretend that the old fight, which is now the safe and lucrative fight, is still the most important fight in our push for true economic and social equality. You’ve given Vivian Stringer and Rutgers the chance to hold a nationally televised recruiting celebration expertly disguised as a news conference to respond to your poor attempt at humor. Thank you, Don Imus. You extended Black History Month to April, and we can once again wallow in victimhood, protest like it’s 1965 and delude ourselves into believing that fixing your hatred is more necessary than eradicating our self-hatred. The bigots win again. While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos. I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas. It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent. Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves. It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud. I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack. But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$. I watched the Rutgers news conference and was ashamed. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke for eight minutes in 1963 at the March on Washington. At the time, black people could be lynched and denied fundamental rights with little thought. With the comments of a talk-show host most of her players had never heard of before last week serving as her excuse, Vivian Stringer rambled on for 30 minutes about the amazing season her team had. Somehow, we’re supposed to believe that the comments of a man with virtually no connection to the sports world ruined Rutgers’ wonderful season. Had a broadcaster with credibility and a platform in the sports world uttered the words Imus did, I could understand a level of outrage. But an hourlong press conference over a man who has already apologized, already been suspended and is already insignificant is just plain intellectually dishonest. This is opportunism. This is a distraction. In the grand scheme, Don Imus is no threat to us in general and no threat to black women in particular. If his words are so powerful and so destructive and must be rebuked so forcefully, then what should we do about the idiot rappers on BET, MTV and every black-owned radio station in the country who use words much more powerful and much more destructive? I don’t listen or watch Imus’ show regularly. Has he at any point glorified selling crack cocaine to black women? Has he celebrated black men shooting each other randomly? Has he suggested in any way that it’s cool to be a baby-daddy rather than a husband and a parent? Does he tell his listeners that they’re suckers for pursuing education and that they’re selling out their race if they do? When Imus does any of that, call me and I’ll get upset. Until then, he is what he is — a washed-up shock jock who is very easy to ignore when you’re not looking to be made a victim. No. We all know where the real battleground is. We know that the gangsta rappers and their followers in the athletic world have far bigger platforms to negatively define us than some old white man with a bad radio show. There’s no money and lots of danger in that battle, so Jesse and Al are going to sit it out. To reach Jason Whitlock, call (816) 234-4869 or send e-mail to [email protected]. For previous columns, go to KansasCity.com I agee with him actually.
