Guest JMA Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 A slightly less morbid topic. Imagine, if you will, that Vince's favorite four superstars were injured: The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, and Stone Cold. They will be out for a year. What does Vince do?
Guest oldschoolwrestling Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 He's covered with Brock, Angle, Benoit and a few others.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 A-Train Vs Rikishi for the WWE Title at WrestleMania! Kane Vs Big Show (He goes back to Raw) for the World Title at Wrestlemania.
King Cucaracha Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Rock- Gonna leave soon again for a while isn't he? If he's smart he'd offer him a non-wrestlign role of some sort. Like a manager to someone Taker- Nathan Jones takes his place, Taker comes back, Jones calims to be the 'new Big Dog' in the WWE, feud starts. Austin- Books JR instead of Austin...JR vs The Rock, Wrestlemania...the SLOBBAKNOCKA! Nah, probably have some sort of 'suspension' which'll allow Austin to do non wrestling stuff Triple H- Bung the belt on Booker, put Flair back in the ring and have HHH as the Evoloution's manager. Hell, Flair's more over than HHH anyway. That paves the way for Y2J, Booker, HBK, Angle, Benoit, Lesnar and the like to move up to full main event status whilst still getting the best parts of the four- their strength's are the talking. Neither of the four is a GREAT wrestler...best for WWE all round.
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Rock- Gonna leave soon again for a while isn't he? If he's smart he'd offer him a non-wrestlign role of some sort. Like a manager to someone No, he'd overshadow ANYONE he'd manage. Have him do commentary. Play by Play AND Color.
Guest Polish_Rifle Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Mattitude, RVD and Cena would be pushed to the top.
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Oh, and Triple H WILL be injured again soon--although he's already injured right now. Plus, if he does get another injury he'll likely have to retire. CAL-CI-FY!! CAL-CI-FY!! CAL-CI-FY!!!
Guest AndrewTS Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 Mattitude, RVD and Cena would be pushed to the top. Er, but all three need to hone their wrestling, and RVD needs to develop actual mic skills. There are far better choices to for main eventers. Although those guys are solid midcarders and definitely future stars.
Guest Choken One Posted February 28, 2003 Report Posted February 28, 2003 At one time or another all four of those guys have missed nearly an year due to Injuries or other "conflicting" means. Even at multiple times, There have been times where two of the big four were gone...and for a brief three months, 3 of the four were gone...
Guest NoSelfWorth Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 If those four are out for a year, then look for Albert, Pig Slow, Fatkishi and Nathan Jones to get the super pushes.
Guest razazteca Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 Well watch some tapes of Raw with HHH as champ and replace him with Kane as champ, the same boring result will happen as nobody goes over the Big Red Krispy Kreme Chump. The title defenses will be against Nathan Jones, Albert, Scott Steiner, Big Show.
Guest AndrewTS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 At one time or another all four of those guys have missed nearly an year due to Injuries or other "conflicting" means. Even at multiple times, There have been times where two of the big four were gone...and for a brief three months, 3 of the four were gone... Yeah, when Rock and Austin hadn't returned yet, and Taker went on a break after the HIAC match. What did they do? WWE pushed Big Show. Sure, then they pushed Kurt Angle, but then sloppily turned him heel, and have been bungling the Angle/Lesnar program ever since. During that time, they never had any intention to build any new stars since they knew that Rock and Taker would be back soon, although who knows how long ago they've been planning to bring back Austin.
Guest Space_Cowboy Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 If all four were injured the WWE would have a main event scene of just Brock Lesnar, with guest appearances by the likes of Angle, Benoit, Show and a few others to fall to the might of Lesnar.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 THE MCMAHONS! of course. Stephanie, Shane, Linda, Vince...
Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 Actually it's not necessary to have all 4 injured, now if HHH dies off a heart attack then WWE would be a better place, Taker will soon retired, Austin too and Rock will leave to make flicks.
Guest Choken One Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 How can you even justify calling yourself an Human being by wishing for the death an Man whom hasn't commited crimes or been a bad mark on Society? Oh, Yeah, He "held down" Christopher Benoit...He deserves to die for that doesn't he? pathetic.
Guest THE MIGHTY THOR Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 I didn't wish him to die all i said was "if", and don't you think holding Benoit down should be consider a crime?I do.lol.
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, and Stone Cold. They will be out for a year. What does Vince do? HBK vs Diesel, a decade too late.
Guest Choken One Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 What U mean Decade to late? In reality, Angle, Brock, Jericho, and either Benoit or Eddy would become the big four and Vince will decide to survive on Wrestling alone, after Shane McMahon convinces him that it was good wrestling and an big angle that brought Wrestling back...
Guest AndrewTS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 I didn't wish him to die all i said was "if", and don't you think holding Benoit down should be consider a crime?I do.lol. I may hate HHH, but I haven't heard or seen any evidence of any such holding down of Benoit by HHH. Jericho, yes. Benoit? No. Benoit's been used pretty damn well in WWE in my opinion, and I think it's only because of him suffering an injury just as he was getting majorly pushed and over that kept him out of the main event.
Guest Choken One Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 I absloutly agree with ATS...Benoit, if you really think about hasn't been mocked or misused or anything like that. Jericho either... TSM LOVES to exgaggerate things just to fuel their HHHATE.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 I think HHH had something to do with Benoit coming back with no hype or montage. "C'mon Vince, having him come back in Edmonton and feuding with Stone Cold is certainly enough to make him look like a star". I mean, what would they have focused on that could get Benoit over with the fans? His heart. His determination. His passion for the business... You know, all those things he trumps HHH in... It's really the only explanation I can think of - because there is no justification to having Benoits return be so cold.
Guest AndrewTS Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 Well, Benoit wasn't a main eventer, and if you aren't a main eventer you don't get huge video packages heralding your return. That was stupid booking, but it seemed to be innocently-stupid booking, not maliciously-stupid booking--like "Lotion Boy Dog-Walker" Chris Jericho was.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 His last match was in the main event against Stone Cold. Benoit was getting over HUGE in his last month in the WWE. I've heard rumours that they were going to replace the injured HHH with Benoit for the Summer program with Austin and put the belt on him at Summerslam. He worked his ass off giving the WWE a couple of MOTYC's from WM 17-on he DESERVED to come back to SOMETHING. Besides, if he wasn't before, a huge video package would have made him a main eventer... All the more reason for HHH to see to it that Benoit doesn't get one.
Guest Choken One Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 I think WWE figured...Hey, We're in Edmonton, Why not bring him back Tonight? Of course, Triple R is one of the main "Conspircey Theorist" of TSM and He'll look for ANY angle to make HHH look bad... Benoit didn't need an Return...besides isn't that kind of Appros for Benoit? HHH is an Glizty Main eventer...Benoit is the silent killer... Why is an Video so important? It just mainly to Hype his return and draw a bigger rating...an Benoit hyped return wouldn't draw any new fans...
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 The Rock, The Undertaker, Triple H, and Stone Cold. They will be out for a year. What does Vince do? HBK vs Diesel, a decade too late. It was pretty terrible in 1995.
Guest RavishingRickRudo Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 You don't actually believe all that shit do you? You're not saying that a montage about Benoits passion, his determination, his history, his philosophy on wrestling, a focus on his body of work, wouldn't have given fans a whole new appreciation of him? You're saying that it would have done the same as just returning with a promo and a heel turn? HHH's return drew fans? He popped a rating, that's it. Since then, since his 'massive return' ratings have fallen. Whoopie. Since Benoit returned he put on a handful of MOTYC and got a standing ovation from the crowd at the RR - through effort alone. A respect that could have been earned 8 months earlier!
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted March 1, 2003 Report Posted March 1, 2003 I can sort of see WWE's mentality there. By the end of May 2002 RAW was in bad shape. The nWo wasn't doing anything of note, neither was Lesnar. Austin was going from one dumb feud to the next. The rest of the roster wasn't doing anything particularly interesting. Therefore, they needed something to shake things up. Recall, Benoit was drafted for Smackdown (#3, ahead of Hogan, as well as the only guy on the injured list to be drafted that night). The heel turn became futile 2 weeks later with Austin taking off, resulting in Benoit and Eddy being in limbo until the jump to SD. However, what RRR said was NOT a bad idea, and it would actually have been productive instead of not doing it because of pre-conceived notions. Finally, I do have something to say about a quote above: How can you even justify calling yourself an Human being by wishing for the death an Man whom hasn't commited crimes or been a bad mark on Society? This coming from a guy who wishes injuries on people so he can mock faceless people on the net. I'm not saying that is just as bad or worse than wishing death, but it doesn't make you a paragon of virtue or anything.
