Guest Choken One Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 uNcensored Debate? I hope Steiner teaches Steve a thing or 2
Guest CanadianChick Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 An uncensored debate about what? Kane?
Guest Askewniverse Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 The debate can't be any worse than Steiner-Nowinski.
JasonX Posted July 18, 2003 Author Report Posted July 18, 2003 uNcensored Debate? I hope Steiner teaches Steve a thing or 2 Uncensored Debate= Bischoff and Austin bitching like little girls over some trivial issue ending with Austin giving Eric the stunner and drinking beer...
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Randy Orton is our next IC Champion
Guest Lightning Flik Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Randy Orton is our next IC Champion Meh... At least he'd be someone new.... *about only positive I've got*
Guest PowerPB13 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Booker, it's called a "transitional champion"...get used to it. -Patrick
Guest Askewniverse Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Booker T's probably screwed no matter who he faces at SummerSlam, since it's the PPV where the IC title almost always changes hands.
Guest PowerPB13 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Booker T's probably screwed no matter who he faces at SummerSlam, since it's the PPV where the IC title almost always changes hands. Unless your name is Shawn Michaels...imagine that. -Patrick
Guest Human Fly Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Maybe Booker is wrestling Orton because Michaels doesn't work house shows?
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Maybe Booker is wrestling Orton because Michaels doesn't work house shows? Or maybe because the audeince will kill themselves if they have to see Booker T vs. Christian Part: 182
Guest Retro Rob Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Well the SD House Show on the Saturday after SummerSlam is promoting Brock vs. Taker vs. Show for the World Title.
Guest PowerPB13 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Maybe Booker is wrestling Orton because Michaels doesn't work house shows? I should clarify...Shawn Michaels is the ONLY person to ever successfully defend the Intercontinental Title at a SummerSlam PPV. 1988, Honky Tonk Man loses to Warrior. 1989, Rude loses to Warrior. 1990, Perfect loses to Kerry Von Erich. 1991, Perfect loses to Bret. 1992, Bret loses to Bulldog. 1993, Michaels retains against Perfect. 1994, Diesel loses to Razor. 1995, Michaels retains against Razor. 1996, no I-C Title match because Ahmed Johnson got hurt. 1997, Owen loses to Austin. 1998, Rock loses to Triple H. 1999, D-Lo loses to Jarrett. 2000, Venis loses to Chyna. 2001, Lance Storm loses to Edge. 2002, Benoit loses to RVD. -Patrick
Lil' Bitch Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 1988, Honky Tonk Man loses to Warrior. 1989, Rude loses to Warrior. 1990, Perfect loses to Kerry Von Erich. 1991, Perfect loses to Bret. 1992, Bret loses to Bulldog. 1993, Michaels retains against Perfect. 1994, Diesel loses to Razor. 1995, Michaels retains against Razor. 1996, no I-C Title match because Ahmed Johnson got hurt. 1997, Owen loses to Austin. 1998, Rock loses to Triple H. 1999, D-Lo loses to Jarrett. 2000, Venis loses to Chyna. 2001, Lance Storm loses to Edge. 2002, Benoit loses to RVD. Holy fucking shit, I never realized that about the IC title until this was posted. Another SummerSlam fact: The Undertaker has been at every SummerSlam since making his debut on the card in 1992. 1992 - Vs. Kamala 1993 - Vs. Giant Gonzales 1994 - Vs. The Underfaker 1995 - Vs. Kama 1996 - Vs. Mankind (Undertaker's SS winning streak ended here) 1997 - Vs. Bret Hart 1998 - Vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin 1999 - With Big Show Vs. X-Pac and Kane 2000 - Vs. Kane 2001 - With Kane Vs. DDP and Kanyon 2002 - Vs. Test
Guest Anglesault Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Suckbag still aint over yet, so Book get's sacrificed. Shame.
Guest Downhome Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 For the love of God, just keep Austin off of TV untill he can wrestle that rumored "last match" at Wrestlemania XX, PLEASE!
Guest wrestlingbs Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Triple H vs. Goldberg - World Heavyweight Title Match Booker T vs. Randy Orton - WWE Intercontinental Title Match La Resistance vs. The Dudley Boyz - World Tag Team Titles Match Steve Austin vs. Eric Bischoff - Uncensored Debate triple H vs. G-berg doesn't look like it will happen, since everything is working against it (injuries, popularity, storyline, HHH) God Raw's tag team division not only sucks, it DOESN'T EXIST! only two tag teams? What happened to the Hurricane? Is he not stale enough? Eh, Orton has improved. At least he's not in HHH's shadow. Debate? Look's like we have another Redneck Triathlon to look forward to. And the first one worked so well!
Adam Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Hopefully it isn't any indication of what the SS matches will be.
Guest jester Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Let's see. Orton is getting the big push despite being so forgettable that other wrestlers sometimes accidentally hang their coats on him. Booker is black, an ex-WCW guy, and has never got a decisive win over anybody in the cliqueweight division. Yep, I'd say that belt is going to Orton.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Uncensored Debate= Bischoff and Austin bitching like little girls over some trivial issue ending with Austin giving Eric the stunner and drinking beer... hey you should have put a spoiler warning there buddy.....
Guest humongous2002 Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 WWE is trying their best to push that no talent Orton down out throats, personally i don't see shit on this kid but the more they'll push him eventually the wwe sheeps will start adoring him. Austin in a debate??Why not give RVD a match at Summerslam?? I buy ppvs to watch wrestling instead of has beens taking the spotlight from other wrestlers.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 I used to like house shows because you got matches instead of interviews.
Guest FeArHaVoC Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 They should have some title changes on house shows. It would bring more excitment to the shows and more people would attend them if there was a chance of seeing a new champion. I wouldn't think it would cost Vince that much to have one or two camera men go down to ring side and record the match so they can explain and show the title change on TV.
LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 They should have some title changes on house shows.

I wouldn't think it would cost Vince that much to have one or two camera men go down to ring side and record the match so they can explain and show the title change on TV. Not only that, but it would add the realm of "realism". I mean, sure, we all know its scripted, they tell everyone its scripted, but they always say "Anything can happen in the WWE" but it is more unpredictable if titles don't change unless it is on TV. Maybe a ratings boost or whatnot will happen, but the "anything can happen at any moment" always gains some interest somewhere.
Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted July 18, 2003 Report Posted July 18, 2003 Orton will win the IC title as HHH retains the World title.. making the Horse... I mean Evolution, look like a badass heel stable for having both singles belts. Don't be surrprised to see Flair team up with the fourth guy, whoever that ends up being, and taking the tag belts.

Interesting shit, thanks. I agree, the WWE should definitely have a title change or two at house shows. I think it would definitely boost attendence a bit.
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Well, I'm not going to say anything about the IC Title (because it's a belt on RAW) aside from Booker, and the title, can only dodge the 'I'm a good-looking third-generation wrestler with great abs' bullet for so long. I think we all knew that. But I found this interesting: Well the SD House Show on the Saturday after SummerSlam is promoting Brock vs. Taker vs. Show for the World Title. This indicates two things - first, that Angle is not likely winning at Vengeance (but then again him looking very very strong on SD was another indicator), and second, that Cena is not looking like he will win either - because how can Taker even be in a position to challenge for the title if he loses to Cena?
Guest Retro Rob Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 Or maybe they just announced the Three Way to help sell tickets and in actuality it holds no bearing on the show.
Guest Mulatto Heat Posted July 19, 2003 Report Posted July 19, 2003 So they'd promote a match that they intend to not have from the start and thus pull a swerve for the ticket-paying customers? I don't even need to say it.
