What Dead Weight should the WWE shed?

[Guest Zack Malibu]

Get rid of:

 

Albert, Mark Henry and Bradshaw-I'm sick of the verbal blowjobs these guys get in every Ross Report. JR has become like a little, bitter Bill Watts wannabe, desperate to push these big lardasses. At least Watts made something of his talent, as he's responsible for getting JYD over, etc. before he went senile and banned top rope moves in WCW.

 

Jackie and Linda. Yes, Jackie is attractive. Yes, there are other attractive women available. Ditch these two hacks and sign some real talent.

 

Rikishi-the novelty of the Sumo who dances wore off in 2000. They blew the heel turn. He has about as much heat as my freezer does.

 

Bull "B2/Bossman Jr./RTC" Buchanan-never did ANYTHING of note, despite various personas. He reportedly had a good thing going with a Cape Fear style psycho gimmick in OVW, but that was dropped to be the New Bodyguard On The Block for John "Totally 80's" Cena. Get rid of him, and give Cena something productive to do, like, oh...TEAM WITH MATT HARDY? Cripes they could be a really good heel duo, the gimmick practically writes itself (Version 1 and Prototype, if that doesn't fit together I don't know what will).

 

Crash Holly-has done nothing productive in years. He made the Hardcore Division fun for a while, but that was about it.

 

Hardcore Holly-How ya like me now? How about not at all. They blew their chance to use him as an upper midcarder when he came back from the Angle-made broken arm. He probably wouldn't have made it anyways, but they had a chance and blew it.

 

Jacqueline-Does nothing of note, other than to be fodder for the women heels.

 

Jeff Hardy-he's unmotivated, and obviously needs time off to escape his demons which are ruining an already sagging/never that great workrate. Fire him, let him shape up, then reevaluate him. If you really think it's worth it, take him back under certain conditions (a la Regal, Raven and Eddie). If not, he'd wind up in TNA.

 

And, while I think their is a ton of potential in Val Venis' new character, why in the hell did they stick the gimmick on a guy like him when it's basically the same character Mike Sanders played in WCW? Again, I guess that's why I'm a smark and not the owner or booker of a major company. Silly me for wanting to get a new face on TV.

[Guest BionicRedneck]

OH GOD!

 

How could I forget about Albert?! Test can fuck off too.

[Guest Redhawk]

when has an eye candy angle ever contributed anything meaningful at all?

 

...

 

didn't think so. all they do is get cheap puppies pops, it's not like anybody actually buys a ticket to see dawn marie. get rid of her, stacy, torrie, terri, and victoria. yes, victoria too. she can't wrestle (as shown in that abomination of an 8-minute match with trish), & she's ugly anyway.

You're telling me Sable didn't make WWE any money when she was around?

 

I'm not saying center angles around the eye candy chicks, but use them to create and/or enhance storylines. Cases in point:

 

--Trish made the Dudley Boyz vs. T & A feud.

--Tori made the Kane vs. X-Pac feud.

--Stephanie made the Angle vs. HHH feud.

--Elizabeth made the Macho Man vs. Flair feud.

--The hoes made RTC a big-time heel stable (for a while).

--Stephanie enhanced the Austin vs. Corporate Ministry stuff.

--Sara made the Taker vs. DDP feud.

--Lita and Chyna made the (short but sweet) Essa Rios vs. Eddie Guerrero feud.

--Debra enhanced the Jeff Jarrett vs. Chyna and All Women feud.

 

Granted, some of these feuds sucked. But some of them were also very good. And they've done alot more for entertainment value and business than Molly vs. Trish feuds or Tough/Crazy Bitch vs. Trish feuds.

[Guest El Satanico]

Yes, Jackie is attractive.

Neither of the Jackie's in WWE are attractive. Hell the black Jackie looks better then TE Jackie.

 

TE Jackie has the body and face of "Dude...she looks like a Dude".

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

--Sara made the Taker vs. DDP feud.

 

Oh, and how I thank her for that each and every day.

ok, i'll give you stephanie. she's been put to good use. and i've got no problem using them as enhancement talent, but the last 2 years have proved that aside from stephanie, the fed has NO IDEA how to use them as enhancement talent. sara/undertaker, torrie/xpac, trish/bubba ray...all this stuff was awful. and if they're not going to do it in a meaningful way that can draw money or entertain, why do it at all?

[Guest Anglesault]

Test. With Show on SD!, Test has earned the title of most totally worthless wrestler on Raw.

[Guest TheZsaszHorsemen]

Test. With Show on SD!, Test has earned the title of most totally worthless wrestler on Raw.

Not with Nathan Jones coming to RAW.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

Great. Nathan Jones. Another HOSS. What did I do to deserve this?

 

On to the dead weight:

 

B2

Gayda

Miles

Lawler

The Hollys(except Molly)

Jeff Hardy

 

There's more, but why bother?

[Guest AndrewTS]

Kevin Nash

Mark Henry

Big Show

JERRY LAWLER

Hardcore and Crash Holly

Any hosses in the farm leagues who can't do a fucking thing right even with extensive training.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Jackie Gayda should definitely be cut. What a flop.

They won't cut her because it could possibly hurt the popularity of Tough Enough... having a winner cut after only one TV appearance.

[Guest razazteca]

Terri made Hardys vs E&C......the great Terri Invitational Tournment, a few weeks later she became useless again

 

Terri was also a major part of the Goldust vs HHH feud, which had Chyna vs Terri as the focus, again after this Terri was useless.

 

Terri as announcer is no longer entertaining as the killer nips of doom, dissappeared + the fact she is not good with interviews.

she's done a few, actually. she showed up on smackdown with linda, where vince set up a match between them on velocity if i remember correctly.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

I say keeping her looks worse on Tough Enough than cutting her.

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

Considering Regal is over, gets heat from the crowd, can work and knows how to cut promos-

 

how is he "dead weight?"

Regal...'over'?

 

Yep, that's why he's ripping up the tag division with Lance Storm in no-heat's-ville.

 

Invasion was a long time ago mate, over a year, Regal has deterrioted a lot since then in terms of ring ability and appeal to the fanbase, not even you can deny that Mr.Barron, IF THAT IS YOUR REAL NAME.

 

Yep, i've so had too much to drink here...
