Biggest disappointments of 2003

[Just John 0]

Biggest Disappointment?

 

Angle. Brock. Iron man.

[Guest Ray]

Angle/Lesnar series.

 

Eddie not getting a push/title shot after being OVER AS FUCK in the summer.

 

Benoit not getting a feud with Lesnar after Wrestlemania. I thought this might happen. Remembering how they teamed at NWO, remembering this:

You know, all the talk about respect they did. They could have easily had Lesnar attack Benoit or something, giving us a Benoit/Lesnar match at Backlash. Instead we got that boring Lesnar/Cena match.

[Guest Corino 1000]

RAW's Tag Division. La Resistance and The Dudleyz having the titles for almost the whole year.

[Guest Anglesault]

Alot of them, (Stu, of course, excluded, and maybe Crash, what killed him, exactly?) Made their own beds.

 

It's sad, but I can't really feel bad fro them.

I think Crash choked on his own vomit.

I don't want to jump to conclsuions, but we both know what that sounds like.

Goldberg

 

Let's put it this way, if this was 1998 and I said that Goldberg would be in the WWE in 5 years - you'd go fucking nuts, right? (Do not answer!) So 5 years later and *poof* dicknothin goin on here.

 

Angle vs. Brock

 

Seriously, we had been discussing this feud since, like, Summer of 02 and all the intricases and story that could be put into it... so what did they do? ABSOLUTELY NONE OF IT.

 

Team Angle

 

Not the team of Benjamin and Haas, but the concept itself. They were SPECIALIZED to take out Brock Lesnar - and what happened? HE DESTROYED THEM BOTH! SO much could have been done here.

That fits in my Angle-Brock post, section A.

[RavishingRickRudo 0]

Your section A can suck my section P -NIS.

 

ZONG!

[Masked Man of Mystery 0]

The missuse of the cruisers in general

the refusal to push Matt Hardy on a PPV in any kind of decent fashion

the fact that Kurt Angle will never wrestle again on Smackdown

the push of "Team Sasquatch"

HHH's utter refusal to put anyone over this year

[Guest Besus]

The Rock /Hogan 2-So many was saying their WM Match was good so I figured this one will be good too.

 

Kurt Angle/Lesnar(Ironman)-"German Suplex" over and Over! Angle goes for Ankle lock.More Suplexes! Brock goes for F5. More Suplexes!-Boring!!!!

 

Brock/Eddie-Brock squashed Eddie . IT SUCKED!

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Brock/Eddie-Brock squashed Eddie . IT SUCKED

 

That was last year.

 

 

 

Anyway, a HUGE disappointment was the PPV brand split. The idea of it was to make the lower guys make it onto PPVs for matches to work. Instead of using actual talent, they book matches using JR / Lawler for RAW and SD gets run over by McMahon-amania!

[Lil' Bitch 0]

Angle's return and career being cut short by a botched chairshot, so sad.

[Guest Polish_Rifle]

Mattitude and the fact that he has not really gone anywhere in the past year is disappointing. He went into the CW division for a while and then found himself on Velocity every other week. He lost to Zach and came to Raw but finds himself wrestling Maven? WTF? They dropped the ball on his fresh character and he is now back to square one. I was at the Raw broadcast in Anaheim a few weeks ago, and he received no response from the crowd when he did that run-in during Lita's match.

You should really think about changing your sig Pol; cause my attention can't help but gravitate away from whatever it is you are saying and down to... good lord I'd tap that.

[Guest Brian]

I don't know RRR. Might need to Doggie Bag that or something.

[eirejmcmahon 0]

The refusal of those who run the company to acknowledge that the top of the card had become stagnent - they broke me about half way through the year and I'd be lying if I said I missed watching the product.

[RepoMan 0]

Bob Holly getting a main event push.

[Guest THE MIGHTY THOR]

1)The fact that RVD,Y2J,Benoit and Eddy are still stuck in midcard hell while untalented fucks like Evad Roidtista,Orton and Atrain are still getting undeserving pushes.

2)Goldberg and Brock

Two guys that are being push like top guys but they still can't draw shit.

[Guest Mosaicv2]

No one, but John Cena, getting elevated. Pathetic.

HEY!! at least Cena can cut a good promo because most of the talent cant

[Papacita 0]

Well, we don't know that, because Cena's one of the few people on the roster that's really allowed free reign on the mic. If others were given the same opportunity, who's to say they wouldn't get over too?

2)Goldberg and Brock

Two guys that are being push like top guys but they still can't draw shit.

Blah! They draw just fine. Ask TNA and CRZ/CZR or whoever else about not being able to draw shit. Next to them WWE is going great.

[Guest THE MIGHTY THOR]

Just fine is not good enough, you want to see real draws just look at Austin or Rock, those were draws.Just fine doesn't cut it.

[haVoc 0]

Hogan's, Rock's and Austin's only come around once in a blue moon. WWE is making a profit. Their not losing money.

 

Plus, why does that matter? Do we make money when they make money? Do need to have 20,000 people in the house every night and a 7.0 rating every week to be entertained along with the rest of the sheep?

 

There is going to be things on a 3.0 rating show that I like and dislike and the same goes for a show that got a 7.0 rating. Just look at 1999 for that.

Rico and Goldust NOT feuding.....come on, HOW did they miss something so obvious???

[Guest THE MIGHTY THOR]

Then i guess that WWE doesn't have anyone in their roster that could do a better job in bringing good ratings and drawing more house shows?Goldberg doesn't entertain me,not on the mic or the ring and Brock might be a watchable wrestler in the ring but he still sucks on the mic and he doesn't have that superstar charisma like the Rock or even an HBK, he is a very bland character that's why WWE turned him babyface and back to heel in less than a year because the fans can't relate to him.In my opinion there are more qualified wrestlers in the WWE roster that could do a better job than these 2 failures IMO, but are still rotting in midcard hell.

[evilhomer 0]

An injured cripple holding the belt for the majority of the year. A dominant champion, even HHH, could have been a good thing. But on top of looking like absolute shit in his matches, he did a horrid job as the champ who doesn't wrestle.

 

Eddie being thrown back to a midcard quasi comedy act. He was insanely over in the mid-summer, hometown or not, that El Paso pop was completely off the charts. He's in a fued with a hot commodity in John Cena that could still be running now, advancing them both. Instead they end it in a way making them both look weak: Eddie needing help, Cena not getting revenge, strip the tag title, throw him in a fued with Big Show, strip the US title, and make him a funny silly hispanic while they do a slow burn on the Chavo break up.

[Guest Nater]

Kevin's New Haircut.

 

Bob Holly getting his gold watch.

 

Undertaker still riding mo-peds.

 

Nathan Jones getting his gold watch. (for real)

 

TNA-NWA not being able to have The Whole Damn Show.

 

Me not being able to sit through the whole-damn-show.

The fans can't relate to Lesnar? He was pretty damn over as a face. And he does not suck on the mic. He's not a Flair or Rock or Austin or Hogan, but he's improved a lot since last year, to the point where he doesn't need a Heyman or Vince to talk for him.

 

In my opinion there are more qualified wrestlers in the WWE roster that could do a better job than these 2 failures IMO, but are still rotting in midcard hell.

Lesnar a failure? Please. Start naming names. Jericho, Benoit, and Guererro would probably do about as well as Lesnar has been doing. The fact is nobody is drawing right now for the WWE. Plugging these guys in at the top isn't going to make a huge difference. RVD? Don't think so.

Lesnar was pretty damn over as a babyface, then why did WWE turn him heel again in less than a year if he was that over?Answer:Because he is not over or charismatic enough to be a main event babyface or even heel for that matter since Angle could turn heel in a second and have the crowd hate him all over again, meanwhile Lesnar can't be a good face or a good heel(Not his fault since he's still learning the ropes as a wrestler, Vince is here to blame).The fans can't relate to Brocky b/c he is a very dull character.

Back in 2001 and 2002 RVD was one of the most over wrestler the WWE has ever had, then he got buried by HHH, he almost killed him in the EC and management punished Rob in 2003 by jobbing him and discredit him as a real contender for the world title.Here's a man that almost beat Lesnar last year @ Vengeance 2002 and he unified the IC title with the hardcore and european title, and most of all he is still over with the fans, not as over as 2001 but still over, so a world title reign is not out of the question but it all depends on WWE.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

I don't know what shows you were watching, but Lesnar was getting big pops for throwing Big Show around like he was nothing, and just getting big face pops in general. And he's over as a heel now. He's getting "you tapped out" chants, and drawing legit. heel heat.
