Ultimo NOT to debut at JD.

[LooseCannon25 0]

If he wants pay $17.95 for a PPV let him pay and be happy to watch it. Why do some people here have to constantly jump on someone just because they're not a whining, complaining hater like they are.

[Guest Downhome]

Oh, so you actually found some one to split the cost with you? Oh, okay. That's fine, but it's nigh-impossible for me to find anyone still interested in WWE to split the cost on a GOOD PPV, so more power to ya.

I watch the webcasts when I do not feel comfortable enough to pay whatever the hell the PPV's cost nowadays. Even I wouldn't pay over $30 for JD.

[Guest bob_barron]

If you do leave, you should start a thread saying how you don't like posting here anymore and you'll never come back.

 

Just like someone else.

Don't diss AustinHHH4Life TC- He's better looking then most smarks. Even you!

[Guest AndrewTS]

Oh, so you actually found some one to split the cost with you?  Oh, okay.  That's fine, but it's nigh-impossible for me to find anyone still interested in WWE to split the cost on a GOOD PPV, so more power to ya.

I watch the webcasts when I do not feel comfortable enough to pay whatever the hell the PPV's cost nowadays. Even I wouldn't pay over $30 for JD.

Okay, thank goodness. I think that's what a lot of people were thinking. It's still too much as far as I'm concerned, but it is far more reasonable.

[Guest Downhome]

Since I see Bob is in this topic, and my PM's aren't working, just what exactly is wrong with Regal?

I just got my tax money back, I think I can order whatever PPV's I want so fuck it. I'm sure each and every one of you here spend $17.95 a month on something I think is stupid as fuck as well, to each their own.

Have you read the WWE.com article about him? If not- I'll post it in the thread

[LooseCannon25 0]

He's got some serious bloodclotting in his vena cava, and he's probably never gonna wrestle again. He needs to be on constant medication and fluid and even then the clot won't dissolve until 9-11 months later

Post it here real quick.

Because the longer the apologists stick around and watch a bad product because "it could be worse" and "well there's a few things I like" the longer the rest of us have to stop watching.

[Guest Downhome]

I'm sure there is all kinds of shit that YOU enjoy which keeps whatever it is coming out or whatever, that I dislike. If you can't stand someone liking something you dislike, then sue me.

 

Really, do it.

Thats a pretty ignorant statement being that we consist of a very small percentage of wrestling fans. Even if we all stop watching what about all the over fans? And besides, it's not like we're forcing you guys not to watch. It's your own decision to not watch, and thats fine but dont bitch about other people watching.

[Guest El Psycho Diablo]

Of course, let's just quietly neglect to mention the fact a lot of you are fans of bad movies, or whatever. *cough* I read that folder.

 

Another thing: It's his money to do whatever he wants with. I'm sure some people would look at some of -you- strangely if you stated you were ordering a PPV based on something (like, say..Benoit being on it? Oh, wait..he isn't..) and it didn't happen.

 

Grow up.

[Guest JRE]

apologists

Oh wow...there's a name now.

[Guest Downhome]

Just fuck it, if anyone wishes for me to leave I'll do it. It isn't like this folder has hardly any TRUE discussion of Pro. Wrestling anymore. Back to the TOPIC...

 

...if they are going to hold off on Ultimo, then I really wish they'd give him some sort of video package. I mean, I didn't think they'd even do it with Rey Mysterio Jr. I'd love to see what type of package they could put together for Ultimo, seeing how they are usually awesome at those things.

Regal feeling great, but return date unknown

by Phil Speer

 

BOSTON – April 28, 2003 – William Regal may never be able to wrestle again. He’s hopeful that he can return in a few months, but he doesn’t know.

 

Regal is currently taking seven to nine pills a day, including blood-thinner medication. He does not know how long he will need to take the medicine, but there’s no way he can step back into the ring until doctors tell him he can stop. The blood thinners create bruising from just the slightest physical contact; taking a “bump” in the ring could cause severe internal bleeding.

 

But besides taking all the drugs and making frequent trips to the bathroom – he’s also taking water tablets – Regal says he’s feeling great. He stopped by RAW today after attending Backlash last night.

 

“I just wanted to come start being around the show and the feel of everything,” he said. “Plus, I think my wife wanted to get me out of the house.

 

“I’m hoping in the next few weeks I can start getting back on television here” in a non-wrestling role.

 

Regal has been battling health problems since the RAW crew’s tour of India in November. Many of the Superstars on that tour fell ill during or afterward, and Regal was no exception.

 

“I’ve never felt right since I got back from India,” he said.

 

He had stomach-flu like symptoms for 20 straight hours during the tour. A lifelong insomniac, his sleeping problems only intensified after the tour, once he returned to the U.S.

 

Then, two weeks before the February pay-per-view, he caught a viral infection. Around that time, he noticed that his heart was constantly beating fast.

 

“I just thought it was because I had been sick,” he said.

 

Then his body began to swell. The day of February’s No Way Out in Montreal, he was 15 pounds heavier than his normal weight. He wrestled that night and got a concussion, although he says that was unrelated to all his other problems. The No Way Out match would turn out to be his last.

 

The next day, at RAW in Toronto, he did not wrestle due to the concussion, instead accompanying Lance Storm to the ring. But he was scheduled to return to action at the following weekend’s non-televised events.

 

By that Thursday, however, he had gained 25 pounds. That’s when he was taken off the road entirely.

 

“I knew there was something desperately wrong with me, I just didn’t know what,” he said. “I didn’t want to risk it.”

 

He spent three weeks going from one hospital to the next, his problems undiagnosed. His weight ballooned to 40 pounds above normal.

 

Finally, he found St. Joseph’s hospital in Atlanta. They told him that the right side of his heart – the side the pumps blood throughout the body -- was not functioning, which is why his heart was beating so fast. It caused a buildup of fluid in his system, creating too much fluid for his liver to process. It was that buildup of fluid that resulted in his weight gain.

 

Doctors at St. Joseph’s actually stopped his heart with an electric shock. When his heart started beating again, the right side was working. Once his heart was functional, his liver could process the fluid, and his excess weight came off.

 

The reason the right side of his heart stopped working is still a mystery. Doctors told him he could have been born with heart problems. Regal also told them about his personal abuse history and the fact that he’s an insomniac.

 

“The doctor said, ‘I think it’s probably a little bit of everything,’” Regal said. “But he said he couldn’t give me an answer so he wasn’t going to try.

 

“The viral infection, I think, was the final straw that kicked it off.”

 

Because of the fluid buildup in his system, he was at serious risk of a blood clot developing, so he was immediately put on blood thinners. Originally he was taking 15 pills a day; by now his pill intake has been cut in half. But he has to take the pills indefinitely. Every week he has blood drawn to see if the thinners are working, and every month he sees the doctor, waiting for the word to stop taking the pills.

 

Will the doctor ever let him?

 

“I hope so,” Regal said. “And if he doesn’t, he doesn’t. What can I do? I should have died 100 times between 1995 and 1998. I abused myself to levels most people cannot comprehend.

 

“Every day’s a bonus from now on. Health’s the most important thing in the world. People don’t realize that until they lose it.”

 

He added, “I personally think I can get over (my problems) quicker than anybody thinks.”

 

But he doesn’t know. His doctor could clear him this week, next month, in six months, or never.

 

Regal was actually taken off the road while he was World Tag Team Champion along with Storm. The duo was scheduled to defend their titles at WrestleMania XIX, but obviously plans had to change. Storm ended up wrestling on the live HEAT prior to ‘Mania.

 

“I felt bad about him missing a payday,” Regal said, referring to Storm. “(WrestleMania) is one of the biggest paydays of the year. He has a family to support, same as I do.”

 

While he can’t wrestle, he has been able to get back in the gym. In addition to all the liquid weight, he’s also taken off an additional 10 pounds.

 

And there’s more good news. He recently visited a sleep clinic to find out why he’s had chronic insomnia. He was diagnosed with sleep apnea, a disorder in which you literally stop breathing during sleep. For as long as he could remember, he could sleep no more than 90 minutes straight before waking abruptly.

 

Now, when he goes to bed he hooks himself up to a machine that constantly pumps oxygen into his nose. He still has a little trouble falling asleep at night – after all, he’s spent the last 20 to 30 years wrestling, and going to bed around 3 a.m. But once he gets to sleep, he stays asleep.

 

“That’s a big deal for me,” he said.

Tell you what......if they do a hype video at the PPV for him, and they have clip of him holding all 8 belts at once I will totally mark out.

[Guest Downhome]

Holy shit, I had no idea about all of this. So when is WWE going back in India?

 

Ugh.

[Guest Sakura]

Thats a pretty ignorant statement being that we consist of a very small percentage of wrestling fans. Even if we all stop watching what about all the over fans?

 

 

What about them? They should stop too.

 

 

And besides, it's not like we're forcing you guys not to watch. It's your own decision to not watch, and thats fine but dont bitch about other people watching.

 

 

But in a way you are. I don't watch because Vince won't change. Vince won't change because there's enough people that are willing to accept whatever he does because "it could be worse" or any other bogus reason.

 

 

I'm sure there is all kinds of shit that YOU enjoy which keeps whatever it is coming out or whatever, that I dislike.

 

 

Like?

 

 

Just fuck it, if anyone wishes for me to leave I'll do it. It isn't like this folder has hardly any TRUE discussion of Pro. Wrestling anymore.

 

 

Spare us the drama. You're overracting. Nobody wants you to leave. People are just giving you a hard time because you got excited and posted that you were "officially ordering JD NOW~!".

[Guest Downhome]

Tell you what......if they do a hype video at the PPV for him, and they have clip of him holding all 8 belts at once I will totally mark out.

Oh God, I hope they show him holding the 8 belts over and over, the fans would really get into that, just as they did in WCW.

 

I think I'm the worlds ONLY Sonny Ono mark, so I wont go there, heh.

[Guest JRE]

The way I see it, if I watch the WWE and enjoy it, good or not, I guess you'd consider that I'm "lying to myself." Hell, if I'm a good liar....and myself is really gullable- then there's no harm coming to myself...because I'm liking a good portion of what I'm watching. If the WWEs going to get better by less people watching- I'll just leave it to the rest of you to stop watching, because I don't really want to.

 

Now, why do "apologists" stand up for the WWE on the internet. Personally, although I don't consider myself an apologist in my impressions, since I pretty much call everything the way I see it- I usually just stick up for the WWE out of annoyance. Because it is annoying to see some people here saying things like "I hope Vince McMahon dies." and "I hope 'The Clique' tear all of their quads." Yeah, THAT'S not begging for a sympathizer.

[LooseCannon25 0]

Hopefully next month and the tour will consist of Bradshaw, A-Train, Big Show, Nathan Jones, Scott Steiner, Test, Rikishi, Triple H, Kevin Nash, Vince McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon

[Guest Sakura]

There is a difference between really liking the product and this stuff like "come on guys, let's think positively" and "well come on, at least this is a bathroom break match".

[Guest bob_barron]

I think I'm the worlds ONLY Sonny Ono mark, so I wont go there, heh.

 

You could say that for a lot of wrestlers you like DH

[Guest Downhome]

Oh my God, you are even POSTING like RRR now, ugh.

 

1) I don't know, I'm sure there is a lot of stuff that everyone does that someone would be pissed at them for spending money one. I personally don't give a shit though, and I don't see why you guys would obsess over something so stupid. Just get off of it, really.

 

2) I hate it for you, but you are in NO posistion to say "spar us the drama". I still AM ordering JD, there is other stuff on there I want to see. I'm not paying $17.95 for either of the title matches by the way, if the undercard didn't have some things on it I want to see I wouldn't be ordering it. God knows this isn't the first time I've ordered a PPV for the undercard, I did so many times in WCW.

...Okay, thanks. Is there a buzzword for that...besides "mark"?

Holy shit, I had no idea about all of this. So when is WWE going back in India?

 

Ugh.

NO- DON'T GO BACK TO INDIA. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO!
