Why Team Angle never wins

[Guest edotherocket]

Snippets from Flea's Mailing List on 411mania:

 

Do you know why Team Angle loses all there matches? Apparently, the

hierarchy of the WWE is so high on Haas and Benjamin, they feel that the

two can afford to lose their matches, so long as they keep the title

belts. This is not scheduled to change anytime soon and has some of the

mid-lower card wrestlers upset. One of the time honored traditions in

wrestling is that if you do the j.o.b., eventually you will be repaid the

favor. That’s all well and good, but to keep Team Angle from getting

the burial that afflicts so many up and comers, a certain former member

of the booking committee arranged so that Haas and Benjamin would do all

their losing UP FRONT (but still keep the belts) and then when the time

comes, all those wrestlers (i.e. just about everyone) will "owe them"

and therefore, no un-push takes place. This BRILLIANT line of thinking

came after said former booking member saw everyone get the mega-push

upon entry and then relegated to Velocity, or mid card hell. So be !

on the lookout for a long winning streak by Team Angle. They are owed.

 

Item 2 is the reformation of the Clique as a power base, but this one

has a catch. HHH, seeing as he is in the company of the upper echelon of

the McMahon family and therefore no longer needs to associate himself

with a wrestler’s click, is apparently pissed of royally at HBK and Nash

for their new clique, which includes, of all people Brian Kendrick!,

who just happens to be a protégé, so to speak, of the HeartBreakKid. The

actual truth behind Michael’s comeback is it is not for ego, but he

wants to pass the torch to * his * anointed second coming, which ain’t

Some Othe Guy – it’s Kendrick. THAT is why you see the young lad, not only

all over the place, but actually winning matches! Both HBK and Nash

love the kid and have made it clear that they WILL PUT HIM OVER. HHH, to a

certain point, HAD offered to lose to him, but he does not know why HBK

and Nash went behind his back with this. For people who are in the *

push new people category * this is a mixed blessing.

 

Also a touchy subject is the RAW announcing team of Jerry Lawler and

Jim Ross. You may have read that Ross is giving many of his * day to day

* duties to John Laurentis (Johnny Ace) due to an overwhelming

workload. Word also going around is that Vince and company are looking for an

overhaul of the RAW announcing team, with JR serving as a * consultant *

(the dude that tells the announcers information through an ear-piece)

and relinquish his on air duties. Lawler, on the other hand, is being

perceived as a joke, and pretty much past his usefulness and a credible

announcer. The problem is at this point, there are no suitable

replacements, which is pretty much the only reason, according to those that

know, that a change has not taken place as of yet. One name that is high on

the list is The Texas Rattlesnake, depending on if (or when) he decides

to stop actively wrestling. At this point, no decision has been made.

But combining this with the pending "shake-ups" that are rumored!

, a change to RAW might be in the works.

[Guest Nevermortal]

HBK should convince them to bring in all his TWA grads and put them over too.

 

I approve of *this* clique favoritism!

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

I especially liked the part where he mentions sources and showed how he wasn't pulling this out his ass.

 

 

 

 

 

Oh....

[MooreMark]

I love Spanky but if he stays witht he Kliq then he's destined to be X-Pac.

It's better than being the next Barry Horowitz which is what he would be otherwise.

This makes no sense. Kendrick's on SmackDown!.

That's never stopped them before.

 

Which is why the brand extension has failed.

[Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins]

Im now a clique fan.

 

 

Spanky = Money

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

I love Spanky but if he stays witht he Kliq then he's destined to be X-Pac.

LoL, speakin' of that little shit head X-pac. I was watching one of those shows on E! yesterday, "The high prices of Celebrity fame; Splits." There was X-pac with his greasy long hair tied back, bandanna, and wearing a huge minx/leopard coat, talking about how hard it is for himself and Chyna to have a relationship because of all the pressure of being a 'Celebrity."

 

Yes, X-pac's own words. He called himself a celebrity. He said something along the lines of "Well, uh, we, uh, decided this is the life we, uh, wanted, so, uh, we have to make the most of it if we, uh, want to, uh, live in the spot light and live the celebrity life style."

 

LoL @ X-pac calling himself a celebrity.

[Yuna_Firerose]

If X-pac is a celebrity, then I guess every wrestler that was on TV is a celebrity.

I'd consider all the well-known wrestlers, like Jericho, SC, Rock, etc., celebrities. But that's just me.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

This thread needs less X-Pac.

[Guest commie_050]

I'll believe this when I see Shawn job cleanly to former TWA champion Funaki.

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

Hasn't Funaki sorta kinda made a gimmick of jobbing?

 

It's not like he's just merely a jobber, it's like part of his whole character that you see him coming to the ring and can guess who's going to win.

[Guest Basswitch]

Kendrick is awsome. I hope he gets pushed alot, but it would be a serious mistake if he was made into the next X Pac.

 

Also, Funaki is awsome, they need to bring back the whole Kaientai group, and make um a threat again.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh]

DAMN, it would've been so much cooler if they'd have brought in American Dragon instead of Spanky.

 

I was starting to wonder why Kendrick was getting more of a push than most title candidates. Thats a good explaination.

[Guest SP-1]

Or Smackdown is making a half-hearted attempt at rebuilding the cruiserweight division.

 

. . .

[Guest TheGame2705]

He spelled Johnny Ace's last name wrong and their were no sources. I still don't get why people say Nash and Shawn couldn't be friends with Kendrick. They don't segregate the wrestlers in real life from talking to each other.

[Guest AndrewTS]

Flea = Moron.

 

Yeah, sure, HHH put over Kendrick--that alone didn't tip you off?
