WWE Conversation Inspired by a Fucking Retard.

[Guest rawmvp]

Well, WWE can always set up smaller PPV sets if the event sells out or is on pace to sell very well.

 

Do you realize that WWE spent one million dollars for that atrocious WM 18 set? Talk about a lack of ingenuity; it looked like an arbitrary labyrinth of steel poles.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

I still want one good reason why Batista isn't feuding with Castro.

[Guest Shaved Bear]

doesnt Mark Henry have one of the biggest contracts too?

[Guest Mulatto Heat]

Now that I'm reminded of him, I'm beginning to miss the Batista "why should a bad wrestler be on my TV and hyped as a big deal" arguments.

 

But then again, there's the bi-weekly argument about Randy Orton regarding the same subject.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Anyone notice that the KotR PPV set from '02 was the exact same chair set as from"01 but with the electric chair effects. That's one thing old Vinnie never used to do: reuse old PPV sets.

 

When the stop using the curent SD set they'd better have somebody destroy the giant fist on-camera.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

That's one thing old Vinnie never used to do: reuse old PPV sets.

Didn't they use Backlash's set for at least three years? Maybe four?

[Guest Powerplay]

Isn't Chavo out as well? I haven't seen anything of him in a long while.

[Guest Choken One]

yeah Chavo is out for 4-6 months...Which means a Return around November?

[Guest rawmvp]

The Backlash set has been used and re-used since 2000, I believe

Yeah, but I mean in 2000, every set (even Backlash) seemed to look fresh and original. Now it looks like they're using combinations of old set pieces.

 

The only cool looking PPV stage I seem to remember in the past few years is NWO '02 with those big Trucks blocking the stage.

[Guest Shaved Bear]

the backlash set is really popular though

[Guest Downhome]

Wow, I can't believe all of these guys are out that I wasn't even thinking of.

 

That says a lot right there, either about me or WWE.

[Guest Vitamin X]

I will now post in the thread before it closes

 

+1

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Survivor Series '01 was basically the Raw set. sad.

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

This year's Backlash had a totally new set though.

Where EXACTLY did Vince store the swinging pendulem?

 

I liked the Armageddon 1999 set with all the war Machines and shit

The sad thing about that is that it was just BEGGING, BEGGING to be vandalized by the nWo, seeing as how that was their WWE debut, but it wasn't.

 

Just another minor point in the book of 1,000,000 Things Wrong with the nWo in WWE

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

speaking of sets....in rerospect i kind of liked the WMX8 set....when i first went there and saw it i thaught it was gaudy and was one big mess. The X7 set looked decent too.

 

I wonder what theyre gonna do for WMXX in MSG, i hope they do the classic rampway down the middle of the arena and now some giant stage.

[Guest Showstoppa Icon]

Same here. It was simple, creative, and gave the PPV a nice atmosphere. They should think along these lines before condtructing some monstrosity that the fans wont give a damn about.

With The Logo having the aisle come out of it...

[Guest JaKyL25]

Wasn't it Judgment Day this year that looked like an incomplete piece of pipe structure crap and actually OBSCURED the video screens?

 

Worst. Set. Ever.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

What was Backlash like this year? It sucked for not being the old one.

 

P.S. Vince kept the set in an underground dungeon, where Rob Van Dam was tied to a table and the pendulum kept coming closer, and closer, and closer, until he was saved by La Resistance.

[Guest rawmvp]

Who's gonna win the 2004 Royal Rumble? I'm guessing Randy Orton will.

[Guest Choken One]

Zach Gowan is a fucking Lock.

Meanwhile, Ric Flair was stranded at sea in an attempt to finally reel in Shark Boy.

[Guest The Czech Republic]

Choken's right. By virtue of not having both feet ever touching the floor, Gowan can never be eliminated from the Rumble.

 

Of course, we all know Maven won last year.

[Guest JaKyL25]

Seriously--how WILL they compensate for that?

Ummm...Two Years Ago.

[Guest JaKyL25]

2002 = Last Year

YES! You get a trophy!

 

 

So let's see: Poe, Hemingway, who else can we tie into WWE? Steinbeck? Fitzgerald?
