Guest Risk Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Don't take this too seriously, this is just a theory I had and it is VERY unlikey. But hoping what keeps some people happy, so here's hoping. Anyways, word is that Austin has been pissed with Vince, and(this probably has no basis for concern) Austin was nowhere on the show. This probably means nothing but... What would you think of a new promotion run by Austin, ngle, and Foley? With financial backing, of course. You would have a leader in Pro Wrestling, a leader in Amateur Wrestling, and a leader in Hardcre Wrestling. Unlikely, I know, bt suspend disbelief for a moment. After all, who says Turner doesn't want revenge on Vince? If these three big stars defected(they probably can't, I don't know their contract expirations) and had backing by Turner...wow, think about it. Think of what a fed booked by these three would loo like...it would have something for EVERYBODY: Pro, Amateur, and Hardcore. I know, unlikely, but it is better than thinking about Vince controlling wrestling. Comments? Opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 I read that Angle just signed a long term deal with the WWF... But Jericho's contract comes up soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Risk Report post Posted March 19, 2002 I just can't stand all the bad memories the WWF has stuck in my head. The Gun angle with Pillman, the semi-truck, Papa Shango, Austin threatning to shoot McMahon on live TV(WTF?), Chyna beating Jericho, Chyna winning the IC title, Chyna and Eddy, Stephanie becomming a spotlight monster(I liked her on TV at first...but then it got so #### repetitive), Hogan beating Yoko after Hart lost, SUPERNATURAL Undertaker(I liked the mortician gimmick, but not the "magic), The Barber, Lucy, Pepper, Akeem, Kane(although I like Glen's ability), Shane beating wrestlers, Vince winning the World title, Linda/Vince divorce, the failed InVasion, making Booker a midcarder, letting Steph write, Bossman hanging, Kane trying to set people on fire, Kane threating to burn himself to death if he lst, inferno match, Socko, Sable, Gillberg, ect al. Help... I just want someone to take Vince down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 I'm all for competition. Someone needs to step up and grab all the best guys that are out there and get a TV deal done. Then open the pocket book and get everyone they can out of the WWF when there contracts are up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cataclysm911 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Hardcore wrestling is garbage, and I don't think that anyone who matters wants to watch it. I have all the respect in the world for Cactus Jack, but I think he has to be a little touched in the head to do some of the stuff that he did. I don't think that Austin would leave. If he did, why would he just not retire? He is rich, and married to Debra, I would stay home. Angle is in a big contract. He also couldn't know too much about the business considering he hasn't been there very long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest razazteca Report post Posted March 19, 2002 That ideal of having Austin & Angle & Foley could work but who would be the supporting cast and who would book/write it. As for the Hardcore concept I would prefer a cage deathmatch or the TLC variety. I would turn the channel if I see New Jack running down the isle with a shopping cart of plunder, I hate the weapons matches especially if they pick up the weapons from under the ring before the match. But if it was a cage match FMW style with spiderweb barbwire, nails, etc it would be ok maybe 4 times a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 the word plunder is the greatest thing that Dusty Rhodes ever contributed to wrestling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Cataclysm911 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 the word plunder is the greatest thing that Dusty Rhodes ever contributed to wrestling I disagree. He had good matches with Flair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted March 19, 2002 Flair had good matches with everyone. I don't think Dusty needed to contribute to them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Risk Report post Posted March 19, 2002 New Jack wasn't hardcore...he was a stunt man, a high spot "artist". Cage matches are hardcore, TLC is hardcore, ladde matches are hardcore, barbed-wire, chairs, tables, no dq, falls count anywhere, lights out match, ect al. THAT is hardcore. Foley knows these matches. Angle knows "Amateur" wrestling, Olympic stle wrestling. This would give wrestling some legitimatcy. Where as Austin knows the gist of Pro Wrestling and knows how stars feel to be held down. You HAVE to like at least ONE of these three, so, having them all as th only bookers in a fed backed by big money(aka Turner, Ted). Think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
