Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 There won't be much wrestling tonight, but I think it's ok for tonights show only since they had to announce the split, etc. HHH still has a promo to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 I'm the biggest RVD mark there is...but I would never call him a good wrestler. I enjoy his routine...but it isn't lost on me that it is a routine. I too enjoyed Rock/Hogan...but I also enjoy good wrestling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ihatesmarksandmarks Report post Posted March 19, 2002 if raw DOES go to mostly wrestling it will die faster than HHH's face turn......maybe the smarks will like it. But the crowd will be dead and bored, and most marks dont care about the vanilla midgets enough to consider them top flight stars....this has to evenly distrubuted in terms of talent.

Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Here comes the tag match we got last week and the match WWF.com called a "tag team megamatch". Edge & Kane vs. Booker T & Kurt Angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Still in Canada? Edge wins. By the way...I was on a1wrestling.com and I was reading a recap of WrestleMania on one of the sights they link to...and it was going on and on about how Booker needs to be fired and Lita should be champion...WTF is that about?

Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 From what I've read...the roster will split evenly including the top guys. Vince gets The Rock. Flair gets SCSA. Vince gets Hogan. Flair gets Angle, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazing that Benoit always seems to eventually get over with the crowd, isn't it? -=Mike ...Couldn't Angle be called a "vanilla midget"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Exactly, the draft order isn't going to be Austin, Lance Storm, Rock, Edge, Hogan, Christian, etc Both shows will have a mix of good/bad wrestlers, there will just be more time in one show for all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ihatesmarksandmarks Report post Posted March 19, 2002 chris benoit and the rest of the vanilla midgets will never ever be stars....keep wishing and hoping....it will never happen. And i do not consider jericho and angle vanilla midgets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Can't believe that JR encouraged people to get pirated tapes if they haven't seen WM18 yet. Sure he was talking about the replays but then he said or get a tape. strange Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Looks like Edge will feud with Angle. Angle looks cool is his black tights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Luke Michael Report post Posted March 19, 2002 No....I think Vince will definetly take Austin with him. Flair will get Rock. I have no idea how this is gonna work out though. I have a feeling that a "real wrestling" federation with long matches won't happen on either shows. A Ric Flair owned Raw with long matches would never go over and I doubt they are going to try that.

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 19, 2002 I hope Vince takes maven since i hardly ever watch Smackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Tony149 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Vince has Smackdown. Storyline wise Smackdown is The Rock's show. Whoever got Smackdown was going to get Rock. Vince was going to get the nWo & Hogan guys. Flair gets Austin. The stars will also be split up evenly. As for "long wrestling matches". You don't need 30 minute matches. A good 8 minute match will do. Storylines=RATINGS! If your storylines are good...people will watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ihatesmarksandmarks Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Benoit has been pushed twice, once as a face and once as a heel. Both were sucessful he probably reached about as much success as he will achieve in his carrer. Benoit does not have the mic skills and charisma to be one of the top dogs.....thats what puts guys like angle and jericho over the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Army Eye Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Just reading the earlier posts in this thread.. I see some calls for Rock turning heel but after the opening promo it totally seems like a setup for a Hogan swerve. It's classic NWO. They tease dissention but in the end they were one step ahead of the babyfaces. The one thing good about the Rock turn though, is that he wouldn't look like such a #### fool for being so eager to shake hands and tag team with Hogan, who just recently smashed his head with a hammer, ran him over with a semi, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
