Guest Anglesault Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Jesus, the WWF is really running the spectrum on stupid feuds, huh? From the absolutey absurd (HHH/Kane-Kane's a murderer) to a feud for NO REASON AT ALL. (Angle/Benoit-You tell me why they're feuding) Then we have the CLASSIC "Evil heel claims noble face has a shady past" (Trish/Victoria) a feud because names were called (Booker/Jericho-Booker called Jericho a sucker. It's "Dork" all over again) Ah, and the TOO HOT FOR TV~!~!~!~!111!!!!! RVD/Flair feud. Is that over? Christ, there is NO good feud besides Taker/Brock (For a title), and since they both suck, the feud sucks. Jesus, they need new writers.
Guest subliminal_animal Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Agnle blamed Benoit for losing a match and it escalated from there. What's wrong with that?
Guest Anglesault Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Huh? When the hell did this happen? What match?
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 yep, that's what happened with the rock/jericho one last year, and it was a great program. Not just cos of the great matches, cos they were both playing subtle heels at the start, before jericho turned proper. And I never liked jericho all that much before that, he's now one of my favourites. I think Angle/Benoit also have pride over their submission holds, and that contributes to the heat between them.
Guest chirs3 Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Benoit/Angle is because one of them laughed at the other one. Or something. I think.
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 I think the Angle/Benoit thing is a case of each guy thinking they're better than the other. Or they just flat out hate each other. Hey, it works for me.
Guest Anglesault Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 yep, that's what happened with the rock/jericho one last year, and it was a great program. it was great because it focusd on Jericho never winning "The Big One" Angle and Benoit are feuding because Angle took a stinkface and and Benoit laughed! Then the next week, Angle FURTHERED~! the feud by laughing at a Benoit Stinkface! Then the feud escalated by having both men lose all their matches! And just when the feud couldn't get hotter, Angle made an ass of himself against Edge and BENOIT LAUGHED AGAIN~! OMG OMG OMG OMG! What a well witten feud! See my seat? 90 percent is un-sat on because I'm on THE EDGE OF IT, BAYBEE~!
Guest saturnmark4life Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 well, great matches n all. i give not a fuck. I don't care about why anyone else is feuding right now though, i'll give you that.
Guest Anglesault Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Here's how I think the feud should have been booked. ::Brock and Heyman come out:: (Paraphrased) Brock: I'm a boring piece of shit with no stamina and a push I don't deserve! Angle: You boring piece of shit, I want a match right NOW! ::Angle runs down and beats Brock with the anklelock. Brock isn't seen for months. Benoit's music hits:: Benoit: I want a shot at that title!
Guest LaParkaMarka Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Well, Anglesault...the way I see it, there are NO good fueds right now. None. So Benoit/Angle feuding for no reason isn't that bad. No reason beats the retarded Murder angle, hands down. Especially since Angle/Benoit matches are always really good. Plus it's better that either guy jobbing to Rikishi for a few months or whatever.
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 That RVD/Flair feud is so hot that they don't even need to mention it anymore. Instead we'll just have the greatest wrestler of all time as HHH's lackey, and the most over face on RAW teaming with random partners each week.
Guest Anglesault Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Plus it's better that either guy jobbing to Rikishi for a few months or whatever. Which just happened to be a key part of the beginning of the feud for no reason. That RVD/Flair feud is so hot that they don't even need to mention it anymore. TOO HOT FOR TV~!~!~!~!111!!!!!
Guest Dangerous A Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 How's this for embarassing. My girlfriend came back into town after attending a family member's funeral. I was watching the TLC match at the time she came home. She put her stuff down and sat next to me on the couch. As we were sitting there, she started crying. Obviously she wasn't over the death. I sat there and comforted her for a bit and she calmed down. Right then the match ended and HHH and Flair came out and busted out the stupid ass murder accusations. My girlfriend, as she was wiping her face clean started to laugh. Then she stopped and turned to me with a deadpan look right in my eyes and said "That was fucking dumb". I can't remember being so ashamed to be wrestling fan since Russo was writing for WCW.
Guest deadbeater Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Feud overload??? What you want, two gentlemen or ladies shaking hands and engage in a formal dress pas de deux?
Guest Kid Kablam Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Ok, so wait, let me get this straight, I keep hearing people bitch about how feuds are no longer fought because two wrestlers hate each other. Like Magnum and Blanchard. So when we do have a feud like that, everyone's upset. WTF?
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Please do not confuse "Anglesault" with "everyone". Thanks.
Guest creativename Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Ok, so wait, let me get this straight, I keep hearing people bitch about how feuds are no longer fought because two wrestlers hate each other. Like Magnum and Blanchard. So when we do have a feud like that, everyone's upset. WTF? Actually, most people agree--and rightly so--that the Benoit-Angle feud has been booked well. The simple fact that it's going beyond a month (most likely due to their excellent match at the last PPV) is a big plus.
Guest DJ Jeff Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 The only fued that is anything close to stupid right now would be the Jericho vs. Booker T fued. These two are fueding, just because Booker T called Jericho a sucka. The reasoning behind the RVD vs. Flair fued is because Flair cost RVD the World Title at Unforgiven. I'm guessing the only reason for the Benoit vs. Angle fued is due to one of the two losing a match. Now, onto the Kane vs. HHH fued. That didn't have any meaning to it, until RAW, when HHH announced that Kane was a murderer. In thinking about this, this could very well be a way for Kane to be less focused heading into No Mercy, which would suck, but that might be the route the WWE takes with this whole murder angle.
Guest subliminal_animal Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Huh? When the hell did this happen? What match? I forget. It was a match where Angle got pinned and he blamed Benoit. He started calling him names when he was talking to Eddy, and Benoit overheard and things got tense. Then later in night is when Benoit laughed at Angle, presumably to rub it in Angle's face and kind of get back at him for being a whining bitch. I'm not sure if that's exactly what happened, but I know it didn't start with the Stinkface. That was phase 2. See my seat? 90 percent is un-sat on because I'm on THE EDGE OF IT, BAYBEE~! Honestly...I could swear I've heard this before from someone. Feud overload??? What you want, two gentlemen or ladies shaking hands and engage in a formal dress pas de deux? That was some funny shit. The only fued that is anything close to stupid right now would be the Jericho vs. Booker T fued. These two are fueding, just because Booker T called Jericho a sucka. This feud makes sense. JR was even saying how Jericho was being petty and attacking someone for that is stupid. Jericho then stated he's sick of getting disrespected (which Booker kind of did, in his eyes) and blamed Booker for costing him the IC Title, to make him seem like an asshole who's unable to admit he lost because he sucks and is stretching for excuses.
Guest Ravenbomb Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 sometimes feuds with a reason that lies way back in a wrestlers history are good. Remember Raven vs. Dreamer?
Guest El Psycho Diablo Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 I have to say this. Feud. Feud. Feud. F..E..U..D.. Gah. It's a small thing, but annoying when I see it spelled fued..(and it happens a lot on wrestling boards)..so please get it right. ~*~ I like how the Angle/Benoit thing is going. They're trying to one-up the other guy, and they flat out hate each other's guts. The way SD went off the air is the way things SHOULD be. Flair/RVD is just an excuse to keep RVD away from HHH. RVD's so more over than Trips is..he's afraid of it. It's obvious to all of us. Nobody wants to see it. Nobody buys it. Kane/HHH..ugh. As above..an excuse to keep RVD away from HHH. Kane's just the sacrifical lamb here. The whole "murder" bit reeks of desperation. Soap Operas are believed to be in a different or "alternate" place. Suspention of belief. Wrestling is not. We all know Kane didn't kill anybody. Smarks don't buy it, marks don't buy it. It's an insult of intelligence. Booker/Jericho could be good..as long as Jericho dosen't get humilliated. I think he's just fed up with the way he's been treated (like a joke)..and Booker just did the wrong thing at the wrong time.
Guest DJ Jeff Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 I have to say this. Feud. Feud. Feud. F..E..U..D.. Gah. It's a small thing, but annoying when I see it spelled fued..(and it happens a lot on wrestling boards)..so please get it right. For some reason, I always spell feud wrong.
Guest gwf0704 Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 One of the feuds that may be interesting could be the Unamericans feud, if they have all 4 pretty much hating each other. Other than that I was beginning to enjoy Dreamer vs Nowinski until Nowinski got injured....
Guest RickyChosyu Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Angle/Benoit is like Magnum/Blanchard? Do you guys thrive on mindless superlatives that you can throw out in any situation in hopes of winning an arguement? How are the two related in any way? Try answering that question without the word "hate" and I'll give you a cookie. Jesus, try using a dictionary. The feud made them both look like idiots. Angle for getting his face shoved in someone's ass, and Benoit for laughing at something that's really not that funny. Right off the bat, it's a shitty premise for a feud, and the fact that it continued by Angle making Benoit get his face shoved in someone's ass as retrobution is just ridiculous. Then, with both of them lossing, it made them look worse. Then, they were paired together constantly so that everyone could laugh at how they miscomunicated and lost to guys like Billy and Chuck. Yeah, that just wreeks of ~old school~ NWA booking right there. Seriously, what were you guys thinking? A feud isn't defined by it's matches. If two guys have a great match to decide who gets to eat paint remover, they don't suddenly come out of the feud with credibility. The hasn't been a decently-booked fued since Flair/Undertaker, and even that one ended horribly. Color me unimpressed.
LaParkaYourCar Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 The Angle/Benoit feud was pretty much built around Rikishi. He stinkfaced them both and they became pissed at each other for laughing at each other.
Guest Brian Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Given the three weeks Heyman actually got focused on it, Brock/Rock was built up pretty well especially with the packages.
Guest DJ Jeff Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Since there will more than likely be an Angle vs. Benoit match at No Mercy, I hope it's for the #1 Contender's Spot for the WWE Title, with the winner facing Lesnar at the Survivor Series for the WWE Title. Hey, maybe, just maybe, whoever wins, will beat Lesnar, and win the title.
Guest RickyChosyu Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Brock/Rock was too little, too late. Brock hadn't gained enough credibility to be taken seriously, and Hogan was too exposed to provide a sufficient rub for Brock at the last minute. The video packages were good, like you said.
Guest Brian Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 The RAW stuff was hurting him but it was good for what they had to work with.
Guest deadbeater Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Whoa!! Check out Smackdown spoilers!!! That's all I'm going to say.
