Guest slacklet Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 http://www.wrestling-news.com/artman/publi...icle_2460.shtml Moments ago, Jim Ross was pn WWE Byte This. Once again, he trashed some of the internet writers and the exaggerated reporting of certain topics. Now wouldn't it be great if Ross could one day give some prime examples of what he's talking about? I hope he isn't referencing these jabroni sites that have infatuations with the words "Major story, Big Update, Huge News....). With regard to Austin, he says that down the line, he thinks we will see him back in WWE. He does take a indirect shot at Austin's attorneys about the idea of wrestling in Japan for a huge payday. Ross says he hopes Austin's advisors don't try to lure him back into a wrestling ring. Here's a funny comment. When directly asked about Austin in Japan, he said Japaneese promotions are desperate and that "Japanese wrestling is sucking pond water". A nice thing to say the day after you put up a press release going to Japan. Finally, he mentioned that Jeff Hardy could be returning very soon. Jim Ross mentions that he is working on the return of Hardy, before he hands duties over to Johnny Ace.
Guest Contentious C Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 I guess JR would know they were sucking pond water, seeing as the WWF has largely been sucking the scum off the bottom of said pond since he arrived. Then again, have you managed to find a newsbyte like this on a reputable site as well?
NoCalMike Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Japan's wrestling is sucking pond water, yet WWE is bringing Jeff Hardy back in!?!
JoeDirt Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Yay! Jeff Hardy is coming back! *screams like a little girl* Doesn't Jeff epitomize the style of wrestling the WWE DOESN'T want these days?
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Puro hasn't been good in forever.
Use Your Illusion Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 Yay! Jeff Hardy is coming back! *screams like a little girl* Doesn't Jeff epitomize the style of wrestling the WWE DOESN'T want these days? 'Counter-productive' is Vince McMahon's middle name.
The Amazing Rando Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 I think he's bitter about losing Austin, bah gawd...and that a good percentage of the internet is glad to see him gone from the WWE. So he just nails two birds with one stone.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 As much as the Japanese promotions are sucking right now the WWF has been that much worse. Hell I'd take Ole Anderson WCW over the shit that Smackdown is putting on right now. Smackdown has nothing.
The Amazing Rando Posted April 22, 2004 Report Posted April 22, 2004 So... we have a bunch of wrestlers that really care about the business (or so one would think) getting the low-end of the stick around the WWE...guys like Lance Storm, Jamie Noble, Paul London, Nick Dinsmore, etc... so they bring back the guy that was lazy, sloppy, and just plain bored with wrestling and he will undoubtedly get a push because he is Jeff Fucking Hardy: The Hardy Everyone Likes Even Though They Cheer For Matt.
Guest Brian Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 What does Jeff embody? Shitty wrestling? Some Japanese wrestling is very good. NOAH put up alot of good shows last year.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 And this is JR, the man wouldn't know good wrestling if it bit him on the ass. I mean let's look at the guys he hired over the last year: Ultimo Dragon - then get disappointed about his wrestling style despite having all his U.S. work in their tape library. Nathan Jones John Heindrich Kenzo Suzuki
Use Your Illusion Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Jeff Hardy has a much larger fanbase than his brother does.
Mearl267 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 They don't have anything for Matt, yet let's bring spot machine back! Yeah, that's the ticket!
Guest Trivia247 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I doubt he would say any of this during the Ross report days...
Michrome Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Puro hasn't been good in forever. While this is relatively true, it still smokes anything WWE puts out by a longshot.
Guest JMA Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Hm. Maybe JR will turn his bitterness towards Japanese promotions into the Hirohito angle.
Scroby Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 JR states that "japanese wrestling is sucking pond water" but yet ironically, Ultimo Dragon goes there to work while taking time off from WWE.
EdwardKnoxII Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Ultimo Dragon - then get disappointed about his wrestling style despite having all his U.S. work in their tape library. Well really it was Vince that hired Dragon without seeing him thinking he would wrestle like a Japanese Rey. Then when he say the style that Dragon wrestled he had him depushed.
Guest Black Tiger Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Puro doesn't "suck" its just not as good as it used to be. The juniors can still rock seven ways from Sunday, its just that none of the big feds have made any new stars and NJPW is too busy trying to be a MMA group.
Guest OldSchoolCarnage Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 What the hell, is J.R. high? I don't think bashing Puro will accomplish anything...that and bringing Jeff back doesn't sound too appealing to me. It may work for a month or so and bring Matt's popularity up a little, but soon after he will become all but useless.
SuperJerk Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Hm. Maybe JR will turn his bitterness towards Japanese promotions into the Hirohito angle. Evidently you could tattoo what JR knows about Japan on HHH's steroid-shriveled genitals and still have room for the meaning of life.
Kahran Ramsus Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Is Jeff Hardy even ready to perform? I can understand if he's cleaned up like Eddy Guerrero, but if he's still in Jake Roberts territory, why would anybody even consider hiring him. Yet, they misuse his more talented brother every week on RAW.
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I haven't heard a good thing about him for any of his indy dates.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I can see it now....the reforming of the HArdyz. "From Raleigh, North Carloina, at a combined weight of 438 pounds, Jeff and Jeff's Brother, the Hardy Boyz!"
PsychoDriver Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Like anyone working for a company that has recently pushed or is now pushing workers like Bob Holly, Bradshaw, Mark Henry, Nathan Jones and has a good worker like Nick Dinsmore doing a retard gimmick has any right to judge anyone else's product. Fuck JR and Fuck Jeff Hardy too. I'd watch bad puro before I'd watch a drugged up Jeff Hardy going through the motions.
Use Your Illusion Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 From the photos I saw of him in ROH, he looked a lot less 'fucking weirdo'-ish than usual. 'Tis a shame dreamer isn't around this board anymore, he and I were two of very few Hardy marks left. UYI
Guest Eric the Eagle Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Actually, reforming the Hardy Boyz might possibly be benificial to Matt these days - after all, they would probably be pushed, allowing people to forget about the horrible run WWE's given him lately. Besides, If tehy sign Jeff, they'd BETTER put him in tag matches - his spots are interesting if someone else carries teh actual match. Assuming he can actually hit them, of course.
The Czech Republic Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 Jeff Hardy has a much larger fanbase than his brother does. Yes, the hideous makeup-laden redneck/Goth women that idolize Jeff to tend to be larger than Matt's fans.
AndrewTS Posted April 23, 2004 Report Posted April 23, 2004 I'd love to be there when he said that stuff. All you'd have to say was "Dude--you hired Nathan Jones."
