The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Unforgiven is estimated at 260,000 buys. That number comes as a disappointment as it was the first major match up between Triple H and Bill Goldberg. WWE officials are urging the talent to go back to the old school way of choreography in the ring. Wrestlers are being encouraged to call their moves during the match as oppose to going into the match with a scripted plan. Some of the older guys are trying to separate the heels and faces backstage with program producers only supplying the performers with a fixed time for the matches. The Goldberg-Triple H rematch is still scheduled for the main-event at Survivor Series. Triple H will be working some house shows around Survivor Series including the show in Detroit on11/21. That’s scheduled as Goldberg verses Triple H and Ric Flair and whoever gets the pin gains the title. Hunter is then scheduled to take time off until January to film his new movie. Following that a program is to be set up between Hunter and Randy Orton with it coming down to WrestleMania. -wrestling observer Yes. Let's brainwash our workers into a rigid format of working...then tell them to call all 4 moves they're allowed to on the fly. The Goldberg/HHH/Orton stiff makes me sick...especially after seeing the buyrate of the Unforgiven show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted October 14, 2003 HHH vs. Orton without any title involved could actually interest me providing it has the right story. Given that HHH is high on Orton, I could see this being half decent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Bit I suppose the most interesting point of note is that if HHH is to disappear after Survivor Series until the Royal Rumble, are we to assume he loses again to Goldberg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 So is he going to win the title back at Survivor Series....and then take time off!?!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2003 I'd say Orton costs him so HHH can turn face and sell an injury for the next two months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted October 14, 2003 I think thats a feasible scenario - given the amount of trouble in teh storyline Flair is having on RAW holding up Evolutions ship, I can see Flair blaming HHH for taking time off and then siding with Orton as well.

Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted October 14, 2003 Unforgiven is estimated at 260,000 buys. That number comes as a disappointment as it was the first major match up between Triple H and Bill Goldberg. And this is yet another example of why small week-to-week ratings bumps mean absolutely nothing in the long run. Oh, and bps, was there anything else that was interesting in this week's Observer? They said that they were going to say what segment was a major ratings success from last week's Smackdown, and what 'appeared to have been a major mistake' on Smackdown as well. I'm curious about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the feeling this won't apply for Shane McMahon matches....he'll be able to do his huge spots to pop the crowd and make all the wrestlers look bad, but they won't have enough time to plan something of their own to top him. It had to have pissed Vince off a little that RVD/Christian/Jericho did that stacked electric-chair-drop/powerbomb in that match, trying to overshadow Shane's PLUMMET-OF-DOOM-WELL-NOT-REALLY!

Kahran Ramsus 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 I see I was right about Orton/HHH main eventing Wrestlemania. Orton costs HHH the title at SS, wins at either Armageddon or RR, while HHH dominates the Rumble and stomps Orton at Mania. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Mulatto Heat Report post Posted October 15, 2003 So what was the Unforgiven buyrate? Last I heard a 1.0 equalled 520,000 buys, so Unforgiven is at exactly 0.5 (YAAAAAYYY!!!) - for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Austin3164life 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2003 Half the roster is about as green as RVD's pot. No way they can create the match as it goes along by calling spots during the match. Only the best workers really do that well without blowing spots (Bret, Austin, Benoit, Eddy, etc.). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
