MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 LOL.. I cant wait for the replys on the idea of Spike TV getting NHL hockey games. For the love of the game of the hockey (which I enjoy somewhat, but not as much as Football or Baseball), I hope they don't. But with ratings as low as they are for NHL games, Im not sure if Disney (ESPN/ABC) would throw a ton of money at it, especially since they just got the NBA. Oh, and it doesn't surprise me that the Mortis character will probably get scrapped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They FINALLY do something with Goldust and he goes and gets injured- I feel so bad for him And what exactly have they been doing with Goldust???? I haven't seen the guy on RAw other than stupid unfunny, corny ass skits with Lance Storm. When's the last time he actually had a mtach or even stepped in the ring......they havent done shit with him in god knows how long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Well they were going to do something with him but I assume the plans may have been derailed with Goldie's injury. I believe he last wrestled in early August defeating Steven Richards on HEAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy's over, he can work- PUSH HIM I remember that win over Christian he had.....but it was kinda awkward cause he beat him with a generic powerslam off the ropes. Anyway, the guy can work a crowd, is a decent worker, and has a unique look........but he's not a generic OVW worker so he gets no love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 And now, my thoughts. It's late, I'm tired, so this is all you get... "-Lesnar is doing so many jobs, because his regaining of the world title is imminent. This is the old mentality that the guy about to win the title should do a few jobs, thus setting up challengers when he wins it." Exactly what I thought. "-There is talk of Rock being the main star of Predator 3. The writer of the script, which will most likely be used, said he would be perfect." Could be interesting. "-Rikishi still hasn't signed his contract, which is why he isn't back." Don't sign please. "-Goldust blew out his elbow and will need to take 6 weeks off or possibly longer if he needs surgery." Damnit. "-Spike TV is in very serious negotiations to steal the NHL away from ABC and ESPN. This would take alot of money and could affect WWE renewal in 2005. It wouldn't affect Spike wanting to renew, but would probably be for alot less money." I could care less, even though I WANT to care about the sport. "-They are planning on introducing Ernest Miller as a full time wrestler." Somebody call my mama, woohoo! "-Lita is scheduled to start back this month." Damnit pt. II "-After trying out the Mortis gimmick at weekend house shows, there is already thought to dropping it." Damnit pt. III. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted September 8, 2003 They never should have dropped the title to Angle in the first place if they were just gonna shoot it back to Lesnar in 2 months. Angle gets the worst possible title reigns I've seen. So you'd rather not have Angle win the title(s) at all because they're not 'long enough' for you? I mean, Ric Flair and the Rock both had several short title reigns, but they're announced as 16- and 7-time champions, respectively, and it sounds more impressive than a smaller number.

LooseCannon25 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Jesus Christ, could they even ATTEMPT to get the Mortis gimmick over by putting it at least on Velocity or something? If i never see Rikishi again in a WWE i will be a happy man....If he does come back, then be the athletic big man, who take his business serious like when he first debuted as Rikishi...not this stupid, fun loving dancing prick. You can't blame Spike for trying to get NHL.....they may be seen as a serious network with a professional major sport. NHL ratings have been bombing for years though. I remember when everyone liked Lita in the beginning.....and then we saw her actual In ring work and now we DON'T wanna see her back in the ring.....But one thing she DOES have is tremendous charisma and she'll give the womens division a big boost.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 Jesus Christ, could they even ATTEMPT to get the Mortis gimmick over by putting it at least on Velocity or something? I agree, it's totally pointless to not even give it a chance. Of course, I'd rather them never put it on TV in the first place, if they have their minds made up to start with that they wont go the long haul with it. If i never see Rikishi again in a WWE i will be a happy man....If he does come back, then be the athletic big man, who take his business serious like when he first debuted as Rikishi...not this stupid, fun loving dancing prick. Don't get too excited. Rikishi will be back, as the "fun loving dancing prick", with a returning Scotty 2 Hotty pretty soon, heh. I remember when everyone liked Lita in the beginning.....and then we saw her actual In ring work and now we DON'T wanna see her back in the ring.....But one thing she DOES have is tremendous charisma and she'll give the womens division a big boost. Lita is ONLY eye candy, and only a MANAGER/VALET. Hell, some could make an argument against her even being eye candy. She's horrible in the ring, horrible, horrible, horrible. She never looks like she knows what in the hell she's going to do, she's totally sloppy, and she has no business being in there. Let's keep our womens division as it is, without having this piece of shit worker involved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted September 8, 2003 give me 2 years in the NHL bankruptcy pool. I loved Lita when she had the awesome gimmick "Hot chick who randomly comes screaming off the turnbuckles at people with no regard for her own safety". unfortunatly someone noticed she could do 2 moves and it was "OMG legitimate athlete girl power!!1" and she got 10 minute PPV matches. that's probably what she'll come back as and I'm less than thrilled. as for the rest of the news, Kanyon and Goldust are lost causes, Rikishi and The Cat can go fuck off, and I can't be the only one who wonders why jobbing someone out before winning the #1 belt in the company is a good idea.

Kanyon and Goldust always seem to find a way to start getting over before getting their legs cut out from underneath them. We're agreed on Rikishi and The Cat. Unless we're counting the DQ losses to Spanky and Zach Gowen as legitimate jobs, I still fail to see how Brock's jobbing is possibly killing his heat for another World Title reign.

BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted September 8, 2003 The Rhyno/Tajiri thing was talked about, but there wasn't anything new in it. Basically it just said they were told to slow down and work a chin lock for a long time until the fans started cheering for a come back. They didn't. Vince came out and did it. Backstage Tajiri acted like he wasn't affected by it, but Rhyno was acting really embarassed and hurt by it. The heat was put on Rhyno and the agents and Vince both came and talked to him.
