Guest SEX Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Foxtel have now officially confirmed that both smackdown (starting on sat 2nd of aug) and ppv's are back. for more information got to WNA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted July 16, 2003 Sweet merciful buddha! I can now complain about McMahons on TV too, my life is now complete! This is just brilliant. I have been, as we all have, dying for the return of Smackdown. PPVs are almost just gravy at this point! I guess the still strong selling of Ruthless Aggression got Vince off his ass.

Guest Muzz Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Fox 8, I assume. Missed the Smackdown six tear it up. God I'm pissed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Memphis Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I don't have the money to pay for the extra channels that include FOX 8. Eh, like I need to see one-legged wrestlers and people past their prime recieve pushes. I can get that on RAW. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Memphis Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Isn't Fox 8 part of the normal package? I'm with AUSTAR in Queensland, here it is extra for FX,FOX 8,Hallmark and UKTV. Fucks me as to WHY that's the case, considering there are a heap of other channels exactly like them that are for free but hey, I'm not the genius running the place. As long as I can buy PPV's that can be potentially good, then I'm happy. This, of course, means I'll never buy PPV again. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Muzz Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Fox 8 is part of the normal package deal with Foxtel, here in Adelaide anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest croweater Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Hoorah. Now I can miss Smakdown! not because it isn't available to Australians..... but now only to Tasmamians. We can't get Fox 8 even as an extra. **sigh** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Hooray, i get McMahon-infested TV and below-average PPV's back in my life! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Deviant Report post Posted July 17, 2003 There are a lot of good wrestlers on Smackdown, too many for me to be bothered listing. I'm not sure if having Smackdown will make me hate Raw even more by comparison, or appreciate it more because of the balance provided by Smackdown. I think having the variety will help. It will sure as hell beat having nothing but Jericho to actually enjoy each week. I'll still watch Raw though. What about you guys? Then again, maybe the McMahons really are huge overkill and will ruin SD as well. I'm personally hoping that after losing to Gowen at Vengeance, Vince is humiliated so much that he can't stand to look the fans in the face while they laugh at him, thus giving us another lengthy break from Vince which comes around in between the oversaturations.

Guest Memphis Report post Posted July 17, 2003 A-Train is on Smackdown!. What OTHER reason is there to watch it? No, seriously? Millon Dollar Memphis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Memphis Report post Posted July 17, 2003 On a serious note, I'm astonished there are that many Australians on this board. Have any of you been to the WNA boards? Finding a mark there is like finding drugs on Triple H. Piss easy. M Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest crusen86 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Does this mean we lose TNA? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kane3212321 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Nope, doesn't seem like we are losing TNA. Yeah, WNA is pretty full of marks, (I mod there), the amount of threads that go off topic though..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I haven;t been on there, maybe once or twice. I am sure that I registered, but I'll register again, and have a bit of a look around. I would guess that the majority of the board are marks though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Memphis Report post Posted July 17, 2003 I wouldn't bother. I registered about a year or so ago and was swamped by morons who were trying to convince me that Hogan/Rock was the greatest match they had ever witnessed. Hate to sound like a wrestling nerd or anything, but marks just fucking shit me. Bah. $M$ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Marks shit me too. God, if my mate actually believed that HBK was going to win the Royal Rumble from #1 again, I would have slapped him. I told him about three months before that Brock was winning it, but he didnt believe me. Oh, and I copped a shitload of flak after necrophillia from some of the guys because I liked Triple H in 2000.

Why did you 'cop flak' for that? The angle took place in 2002, two years after the said period in which you were a fan of Triple H. I'd kick all your friends square. Besides, Triple H was the shit in 2000. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Randy Pan Report post Posted July 17, 2003 WNA was a really good board when it was WWFDU. It had a solid user base and although the popups were annoying, there werent too many marks there. Then came Global warning and all these uneducated pre-pubescent teens joined the mix. It settled a few months later and and they moved to WNA. All was good in the beginning, although slowly but surely the board was overtaken by Kliq's, postcounts, awards and discussions about non-wrestling topics. The boards are one big popularity contest. It has gone from a board of wrestling fans to a board of users who like wrestling. I have better things to do with my time than to sift through that crap and talk to people who don't listen.

Guest kane3212321 Report post Posted July 17, 2003 Randy Pan, that sumation is perfect of the problem with the WNA boards. Not to mention the 120312739081 threads I have to deal with about Smackdown being back! The site itself is fine, most news is posted quickly and there are normally tons of scoops.
