Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted May 15, 2003 # Many backstage in WWE believe Stephanie McMahon is taking way too much of the blame for the lackluster writing of the creative team, since her role isn't as significant as everyone believes it is. Apparently, every segment on RAW and Smackdown is approved by Vince McMahon and Stephanie is just an administrator for the writing staff. # Goldberg will most likely not be wrestling again until the Bad Blood Pay-Per View, where he's rumored to be facing Chris Jericho. # Ultimo Dragon will officially start with WWE on May 18th. Although Dragon will likely be treated will less respect in WWE than in Japan, he has made the decision to join the company to accomplish two of his career goals: wrestling at Madison Square Garden and being a part of a WrestleMania. If he were to be placed on the card for next year's WrestleMania, he will accomplish both of those goals. (Thanks to The Wrestling Observer) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted May 15, 2003 Wait. May 18th is the PPV. So is he or is he not participating in the PPV in some way? And Ultros is not respected as much by the WWE? I know the guy has dreams, but come on. If he's not respected as he should be, then why be there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he's not respected as he should be, then why be there? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ ...sighs... I knew that's a reason, but still. What are the chances he'll get on the WM card next year for that matter? Because Vince thinks guys from Japan are 'evil' and shouldn't have any respect. Seriously, I hope he gets the amount of respect he deserves. Fuck Steph, she doesn't need any TV time. Goldberg fighting Jericho at Badd Blood? What happened to him fighting Triple-Juice? Let me guess, a wrestling skills on a pole match between Triple-Juice and Kevin Nash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dynamite Kido Report post Posted May 16, 2003 best way for Ultimo to debut......taking Chavo's place in the ladder match. But that probably won't happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FeArHaVoC Report post Posted May 16, 2003 Here is a little more about Goldberg... WWE.com is reporting that Bill Goldberg worked through the steel cage match with Christian with 3 disclocated bones in his right hand. Goldberg mentioned that the injury came from his extensive workout routine. He went on to say that the gloves he wears does help his injuries at times, but sometimes, bone's just pop out. Credit: 411mania Damn, who gets hurt more? Triple H or Goldberg. Anyone else think this injury happen during the beer bash when he slipped and almost dropped Bischoff on his head?

Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 16, 2003 I'm sorry but I fail to see the love fest for a Eddy/Dragon combo at J.D... I wouldn't risk bringing him back with a FRIGGIN ladder match... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2003 Does Stephanie do any of the writing herself? I don't really blame her, though the "Steady as she goes" strategy isn't going to help much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted May 16, 2003 I think she just goes "What have we got here?" and the writers give her the notes and she merely hands them over to daddy... I doubt she actually sits down and writes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2003 So then she can't be entirely to blame for the bad writing. Of course, she can still be on my shit list for even bringing up the idea of a feud with Sable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted May 16, 2003 It's not saying that Ultimo won't get respect in WWe. It's just saying that WWe won't as respectful as Japan, which has always been the case. The article said why Ultimo is dealing with the respect difference, he wants to wrestle at MSG and WM at least once in his career. It wouldn't be hard to get him on the WM card. They could set up Ultimo vs. someone like Rey or Beniot a week before the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Trivia247 Report post Posted May 16, 2003 the problem with the Bad writing isn't Steph's problem although I think the extent of her Power goes to helping cement HHH's hold on the World title.... beyond that I doubt she has any interest in the product seriously or other wrestlers the Bad Writing is because the creative end has left the Classic Wrestling Bookers and Writers and the WWE been pushing more TV hollywood oriented Writers for storylines...
