Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 12, 2003 We all know about Vince's recent Nostalgia Trip down Memory Lane which has been serving as Quick Fixes to get the ratings ROARING! It started with the nWo and then that lead to the Hulkamania Reunion Nostalgia Tour and then HBK came back and although He has been useful in some ways, He hasn't done much for the company as of Late. Then Came Scott Steiner, Whom was pretty much a crippled quivering mass of Jello. Steiner, Whom could have been a major heel during the Attitude era has been so horribly used as a Babyface that he killed whatever remaining credibility this once great performer had with his Atrocious program with Triple H over the World Title and has since been downgraded to the low-cards with Rookie Nowinski in a dead end angle. Then Austin came back and although he was a quick Ratings boost for a couple weeks, didn't do much good as he was gone before he even got started and is retired. Then we got Rowdy Piper, Whom actually was somewhat of a surprise considering he pretty much orally assaulted WWE just weeks prior to his return. However, He hasn't returned to the ring yet and has been useful thus far in giving a rub to a young Superstar like SOH. Then Came the Major Cash Cow Vince expected to bring in the money and ratings, Goldberg. It's still a little early but The ratings this week didn't indicate that Goldberg was going to be the bonanza Vince expected and has already started backstage problems over one of the more popular guys in the locker room, Jericho. Kevin Nash arrived just a scant week after Goldberg, and we can't exactly measure how successful he'll be until next Tuesday, His return was better handled then the other guys like Austin, Goldberg or Steiner...Nash certainly looks motivated these days but in all likelihood, Nash won't save the company. Now, A lot of reports are going around saying that WWE is signing WCW version of Hulk Hogan, STING as soon as June. Sting was easily the #1 face in WCW history and might still have a fanbase waiting to return. However, we must assume that he'll likely fall like Diamond Dallas Page, another former WCW Mega-face that still had a lot to offer for the company but was horribly misused. So that means, we need to think about who is next for the Quick Fixes for Vince's Trip until he realizes it's time to change for good. What About Lex Luger? Is he ready to return to glory and take the Rock's Ball and run with it like he brilliantly did with Hogan's in 1993? What about Sid Eudy? Could he make a Triumphant and Poignant return from his debilitating injury known famous all the world around? It would be worth it just for the HHH quasi-Shoot promos. What about Randy Savage? The hottest free agent around! Still a mainstream name thanks to his Oscar Worthy performance in Spiderman (a Sequel is in the works for his character) and has been a frequent guest on the HOTTEST cable show around "The Best Damn Sports Show." He is clearly worth the Millions he has demanded for a return to the ring. What About Scott Hall? Shouldn't Vince figure that the REAL success of WCW were The Outsiders? and now with Austin out of the picture, that leaves the door open for The return of Scott Hall! Can't you just see the dollar signs for Outsiders Vs Three Minute Warning? What About Jake Roberts? Easily one of the most physically gifted performers ever known to mankind and yet isn't employed by WWE? It's time to bring the Snake back...We never got our Lawler/Roberts Blowoff! What about Terry Funk? Who wouldn't want to see Funk FINALLY come out of his long retirement and make ONE last run on top...The Funker is universally known and admired and he can bring in the young Hip crowd. What about Brian Pillman? What? He's Dead you say? NO PROBLEM! WWE already has the Necrophila Market cornered! What about other legends like Earthquake? Road Dogg? Al Greene? Superfly Snuka? Road Warrior Hawk? Max Moon? Shane Douglas? Freddie Joe Floyd? or some guy name Brett Clark or something... The Possibilities are ENDLESS! The good times are here again folks!

Guest JDMattitudeV1 Report post Posted April 12, 2003 If Randy Savage comes back I will mark the fuck out! Then I will remember how old and decrepit he has become and then groan. Speaking of crazy old men Bob Backland hasn't made an appearance for a while, maybe Vince will give him another title run. Or maybe we could have Sgt Slaughter come back as an "Iraqi sympathiser", or possibly we could see the return of the Lex Express. The sad thing is none of this would surprise me if it happened. Vince has truly lost his mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 12, 2003 [sarcasm] How about Vampiro? If you've got Sting, you'll need Vampiro. As they've got history. No other reason ... oh wait, like Vinny Mc Jr. needs reasons~! What about Jyushin (sp is wrong, I know) Lyger? I mean the guy's already got his name in the Smackdown games (I think), might as well bring him into the fold. Yes, I know that Lyger could put on decent matches, but this is Jr. were talking about here. He'll drop the ball and make Lyger a freaking nobody in the ring. Oooo~! I know~! How about Buff Bagwell? I mean, we all know that it wasn't really Buff's fault that his one and only match in the WWE sucked ass. It was all Booker T's fault~! Or what about Shane Douglas? With XPW up in the air, how about the former United States Champion strut onto the air of the WWE? I mean, he could be the Franchise once again and maybe join SD to take over it's World title~! Then we'll have TWO egomanics who think their all that and will never drop their title on their own respect shows! Unless it means that the title is overshadowed by themselves. Or what about Devon Storm of MLW? But bring him back as Crowbar~! I mean, we need a true blue psycho on the WWE. What about David Flair? Like father, like son~! Hell, why not make the father and son dream team~? Add something special to RAW's talented tag division. OR BETTER YET~! THE GRANDDADDY OF ALL FORMER SIGNINGS~! ..... ..... DAVID ARQUETTE~! Why not people? I mean, don't you remember him winning the WCW Championship people? The crowd just ate it UP! They couldn't get enough of Arquette as Champ! Didn't you HEAR the crowds at the arenas? They were just silent with joy of seeing the BEST WCW World Champion in their arena. Think of the ratings if he beat Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Title~! The crowd would be overjoyed that Arquette won that they'd be dead silent~! [/sarcasm] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest deadbeater Report post Posted April 12, 2003 I think Vince is running out of old timers. Time to bring in the Amazing Red and AJ Styles and Low Ki. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted April 12, 2003 I think Vince is running out of old timers. Time to bring in the Amazing Red and AJ Styles and Low Ki. I don't think they'll get AJ Styles unless they decide to fork out a lot of cash because the last time they offered Styles money to work with the WWE it was to be in OVW for $500 a week. At least that's what AJ Styles says, so I guess that's heresay. Might be off with the figures but that's pretty small change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Having brought in most of the past stars available, maybe it's time the WWE started raiding talent from NWA:TNA. Forget AJ Styles, Jeff Jarrett, Raven, Chris Daniels or anyone like that, they should bring in TNA's biggest star... ..."The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes! If he doesn't pop the ratings what will!

Guest evilhomer Report post Posted April 12, 2003 You could have them team up with Nathan Jones! It would be GREAT~! He could be Cousin Nathan! WHOOOOOOA! YEEEEEEAAAAH! This might actually be the one and only way to get Cousin Jones over. I can picture him now, screwing up the Bushwacker arm swing walk, he'd probably swing too wide and hard and end up kill Luke and Butch. Y'know, this thread really depressed me. I was thinking finally, Goldberg is here, now once he flops there'll be nobody left and Vince will have nothing else to do but find a new direction. Then I see the Sting thread, and shit, there's 6 more months of the next new quick fix. Then I see this thread, and realize that it's just not going to happen. Vince believes so strongly in the old-timers that there will just be an endless supply to keep pumping in. I'm starting a petition to bring back The Shockmaster.

Guest Will Scarlet Report post Posted April 12, 2003 I would mark out if they brought back David Arquette, then had him pin Eric Bischoff in a tag match to win the World title. I think they should bring back Vince Russo and the Harris Boys myself. Now that I think about it, I was watching an indy yesterday, and it was El Matador appreciation night, maybe that means his return to the WWE is imminent. What about the Iron Sheik? Nikolai Volkoff? Or how about the biggest match that never happened? Hulk Hogan vs. Zeus! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"He he was 5 years younger or whatever, I wouldn't mind the Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase back - he would get over with fans in todays era as well." Ted isn't able to wrestle; he had to retire due to a severe neck injury. The Bushwhackers teaming with Jones = However, they are from NEW ZEALAND remember, and Jones is Austrailian. They'd more likely fued with each other over whose country has the most sheep fuckers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure Dibiase is human enough to go for the money (I'm sure Jericho, Shawn, D'Von and Sting all sell the "Christians have FUN here too!" angle to him)... Make Dibiase return the Million Dollar Corporation with Xstain, Nowinski, SOH and Orton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 12, 2003 Yeah, i was gonna put Steiner on there...and Seriously, Why the hell not? Anyone remember that segment when RVD answered Bischoff's Cell while in his office and went "Hey, Man How's your Brother?" and Bischoff waltz in and kicked him but not before RVD informed Bischoff he was speaking to Free Agent Steiner? So THERE! Now you have a Built in Continuity! Have Rick cost RVD and Kane the title...Team with Scott and have them run with the tag titles for a year...With Scott Beating RVD in every possible manner imaginable...

Guest RepoMan Report post Posted April 13, 2003 I wouldn't mind to see Warrior come back. I'd mark out when he returned, be highly entertained as he makes a complete ass of himself, and he'd do something to get himself fired before I got tired of him.

Guest Downhome Report post Posted April 13, 2003 I was discussing the return of The Ultimate Warrior to WWE just this past Thursday. I think it would be great if WWE signed him, but under certain conditions. He would not wrestle, never be in a match, and for the love of God, would NEVER talk. No, I'd have much bigger plans for him. Seeing how my favorite part about Warrior is his entrance, I'd give him a gimmick something like Naked Midien, minus the nudity. Durring random matches, have Warrior's music start, have him run down and do his rope shaking deal, and then have him just run back to the backstage area, all for no reason given. I'd love that, it would be fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
