Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I went to a house show at Trenton yesterday. RVD/Jericho was the ME. RVD got the biggest pop of the night. (The entire section knew all the words to his song and screamed R-V-D with him like 40 times.) Wrestled a great match with Jericho, and then jawed witht he front row fans. Why doesn't he have the belt. The WWE hasn't had a combination of workrate/overness/injury resistant/good on the mic/ since HBK. If it's because of office poliitics, then I think the WWE should ask themselves what's REALLY important: Thier egos, or the good of the comapany.
Chunk Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I completely agree! The thing is im torn between wanting RVD to take the title from brock, and brock keeping it for a decent amount of time to restore some prestige to the belt! How about RVD winning it at WrestleMania 19?? Sounds good to me ChUnK!
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 RVD with the title ONLY MAKES SENSE! Thats why he doesnt have it. Oh, and here is a big FUCK YOU to Vince.
Guest Anglesault Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Because the WWF wants EDGE to be the number one face. RVD has that honor, so they will job him out until they get what they want: Edge as the number one face. They do the same thing with Heels in Angle and Brock. The main event of WM 19 should be Angle vs. RVD It will be Brock v Edge.
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Anglesault, is that Benoit dragon suplexing HHH? Havent seen Benoit do a Dragon in so long.

That's what they want. No matter what the fans want.
Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Edge still neads a year to get everything down pat. *looks at Main Event for Summerslam...*
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 (The entire section knew all the words to his song and screamed R-V-D with him like 40 times.) They knew the words to his song? It's ECW all over again! Anglesault is right... the WWE wants to be that number one face. While RVD is already that with no help from the WWE at all. He didn't have to make Angle shave bald to get huge ass pops. Right now, Angle should have the title. He has the wrestling skills, the heat, the mic skills. He should be the heel champion, they're wanting. RVD should have the chase of going after Angle. Why? Because he has the skills to entertain the crowd (notice I didn't say WRESTLING skills), the pops, and when needed the 'mic skills'. RVD isn't a WWE-homegrown boy.. that helps him suffer, too. It's so easy... yet... so hard for the WWE to see this. Or maybe they DO see it, but they don't want it that way.
Guest I Fear Hogans Air Guitair Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Anglesault's right the WWE don't care if RVD's ready it is quiet obvious that they want Edge as there number 1 face. Robbie V will continue to get depushed until that happen's.
Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I'd say Benoit, Angle, Guerrero, and even Edge are ready for the title before RVD. RVD is worse on the mic than Benoit, but has great natural charisma. Maybe if he shows he can sway away from his spotty, and blotchy offense - then he'd be ready. RVD is a guy who can look awesome one night, than terrible the next. The aforementioned guys always look good

Guest Dames Edna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 You don't watch RAW? Most of his TV matches aren't that great, both his matches with Lesnar sucked as well Eddie carried him well though
Guest alfdogg Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 The thing I find funny is that most people who complain about RVD's "style" ar fans of people like HHH or Hogan.
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 You don't watch RAW? Most of his TV matches aren't that great, both his matches with Lesnar sucked as well Eddie carried him well though Both of his matches with LESNAR sucked. I wonder why... Eddie isn't going to ever get the Undisputed Title. I've learned to live with it. Benoit needs to develop a personality before he gets the title. Because as of now, Benoit isn't anything to me. Great wrestler/worker, yes, but other than that.... meh.
Guest Angle-plex Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 You don't watch RAW? Most of his TV matches aren't that great, both his matches with Lesnar sucked as well Eddie carried him well though His match with Eddie wasn't great. And maybe in "Smart" fans eyes his matches aren't good, but to marks he puts on the most exciting matches week in and week out. Believe me, marks care MUCH more about RVD than they do about Benoit and Eddie.
Guest Ram Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 You don't watch RAW? Most of his TV matches aren't that great, both his matches with Lesnar sucked as well Eddie carried him well though Y'know, when you're facing a green rookie (Lesnar) or a big fat ass with no talent anyway (Big Show), I doubt the match will be good no matter how good you are. Otherwise, RVD hasn't had that many bad matches beyond those. At least, in my opinion.
Guest alfdogg Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Agnes: Which match with Eddie are you talking about?

Guest Nevermortal Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I'm pretty sure that when Brock wins the title, they're going to feed RVD to him next PPV.
Guest Angle-plex Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Agnes: Which match with Eddie are you talking about? Their first match on PPV. Their ladder match was the only match between the two that I liked.
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Agnes: Which match with Eddie are you talking about? They've had.... 5. Judgement Day. Backlash. Raw -- Ladder. Raw -- KOTR tourny. And the MSG Ladder match that people raved about...
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Ummm he has more charisma and mic skills in his little finger than Benoit has in his whole body. That's not a knock against Benoit, but come on people. Eddy is too drug/injury susceptable to be champion. Angle is a heel, Van Dam is a face, they can trade the title and we're both happy. He may not be a "technical wrestler' but neither was Shawn Michaels. RVD is an athlete, pure and simple.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 All of them seemed disapointing to me. Except the ladder match, because a ladder match is...well...a ladder match, so i dont really set expectations too high.

He may not be a "technical wrestler' but neither was Shawn Michaels. RVD is an athlete, pure and simple. Benoit can actually be very good on the mic, when he doesn't have to talk about "Squealing". Eddy to drug/injury prone? hmmm, not sure about that one.
Guest Flyboy Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Ummm he has more charisma and micskills in his little finger than Benoit has in his whole body. That was funny. I'd have to agree on that. Benoit is.. a great wrestler. When he faced Rock where he "won" the title twice... he had Shane with him. Now... this brings up the question.. who were the fans boo'ing... Shane or Benoit? Hmmmm.... Now, Benoit is on his own pretty much... and what happens when the Crippler comes out? *chirp, chirp, chirp*

And the MSG Ladder match that people raved about... ahh. I didn't really like that one either. I thought Judgment Day and the ladder match were pretty good.
Guest Angle-plex Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Ummm he has more charisma and mic skills in his little finger than Benoit has in his whole body. ::Waits for "Benoit is LOADED with in-ring charisma" argument::
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 I love smark bias. I do, I do, I do. So Benoit, Angle, Eddy, and Edge deserve the title more than RVD does. Angle: I have no problem with. The guy is a "total package" to rip a line off. Benoit: Lacks the charisma and character development skills to be anything except a "killer". Eddy: Hate to say it, but he'd probably have the "Jericho Problem". (Too short) Edge: No real character ability except for being "goofy". Spear-happy moveset. RVD: The most over of the bunch. While his offense may not be "technically sound" but he gets the crowd excited. That should be the KEY requirement for a person to hold the belt. His promos aren't overdone like The Rock's, or monotone like Benoit's. He just sounds like a normal guy. That makes him easy to identify with..and cheer for. Good matches aren't necessarily a requirement for being a main eventer. God knows Hogan, Rock, and Austin aren't the most technical guys. However, they have the charisma about them that make them seem larger than life. Angle has it, and so does RVD. I hate to say it, but none of the other guys do. Wouldn't it make sense to put the belt on a guy people react to? (Angle/RVD). This may sound off, but Benoit isn't as over to the average fan as he is here. Want to bet?

Maternity Leave?
