Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 15, 2003 So let's see. First, he has to chase Xian (a man that Goldust beat clean) for two months. When he finally beats him, it's because Austin came out and stacked all the odds in Booker's favor. Damnit, things like "tile changes hands on DQ" should be a tool that a HEEL uses and that a face has to over come. Not a clear cut advantage for the face. Now, this week, he's beat clean with an unprettier (not ever a low blow) after a ref bump that BOOKER caused (can't even say Xian fucked himself), is pinned AGAIN by Xian, only to have Austin ONCE AGAIN come out and save Booker's ass. When exactly is Book going to look like someone who has earned the IC title? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Damn, who would be next...these 2 guys have been feuding for a while......and where the fuck has Goldust been, is he in the doghouse or something. It would make sense for Book to offer an open challenge and Goldust comes out from the back to answer it. A clean battle between 2 friends for the gold.

Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Booking the feud with Orton further kills the title because Book couldn't be in the same league as HHH and now has to feud with his cronie, where he will be cast aside from the REAL main event programs. Makes him look like a second rate mid carder rather than a championship caliber wrestler the belt should appeal to. Orton after beating Foley at SS? Yes. Now? Hell no.

Guest JHawk Report post Posted July 15, 2003 Damnit, things like "tile changes hands on DQ" should be a tool that a HEEL uses and that a face has to over come. Not a clear cut advantage for the face I disagree. How many times did Christian get himself disqualified or counted out to keep the title? That particular stipulation is meant to level out the playing field, not give the face the advantage. I agree tonight's booking was uber-stupid, but last week's win was one of the best booked WWE matches in months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 I don't see any reason to be optimistic about WWE. I enjoy NWA-TNA and my local indy fed GCW. I still watch WWE out of force of habit and because they employ people that I enjoy watching, even though I know they won't be used or pushed properly. Nowadays, when WWE does get something right, it's an exception to the rule. -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest PowerPB13 Report post Posted July 15, 2003 You know, I look at the buildup they gave Zach Gowen and I see that they ARE still capable of building a good storyline and having it pay off. Those just come fewer and farther between these days, sadly. -Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we all thoguht like that it would be the Depressed Marks. That's how I started to think about a year ago. I don't lose any sleep over how they book RAW. I don't love wrestling. I enjoy it alot when it's good, but it's just entertainment. There are plenty of other things you can do to entertain yourself. With the exception of the free Wrestlemania webcast (I didn't even make it to the main event), I haven't watched wrestling in a year now. Life goes on. They will fuck everything up and that's the bottom line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted July 15, 2003 That's not true- Booker has had good matches since the Best of 7. As I've said before- Booker is like Davey Boy Smith. He can be carried but can't carry. Hence why his matches with Christian suck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
