tbondrage99 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 So much for the thoughts of HBK taking his place. I wonder how far Maven will go this time, and if and when he hangs around Al Snow again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHK 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Well we haven't even seen Tomko work yet. The best thing Maven has going for him is his dropkick. Then again, tomko has only executed one move, and he botched it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHK 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I agree, but seeing Eugene in that spot instead would have been priceless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest TigerDriver91 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I agree, but seeing Eugene in that spot instead would have been priceless. Especially if he went on to win the match and the title shot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHK 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 What would actually be really sweet is if Triple H eliminated Orton, then it come down to Hardy/trips and Orton helped hardyt win, only to have Hardy lose the shot to Kane in the coming weeks. That's getting off topic however. As far as Maven returning, I hope he's re-packaged and he's learned some new moves, otherwise I'll have very little interest in him, just as I did before he was injured.

Guest Dazed Report post Posted May 13, 2004 It was never going to be anyone important. One would assume (judgin by what WWE are doing with Raw these days), that the match has already been booked. There'd be no need for HBK to be added at the last moment, or for whatever Eugene is doing to be changed just because of a jobber being fired. Maven will come out, get some minor reaction, and be thrown out. I can't believe people are overanalysing this so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just hoping for a re-packaged Maven more than anything. I mean, to me, his character hasn't been very interesting up to this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Let's see if Maven will be, still, the only Tough Enough winner to continually remind us that he did win Tough Enough. Think about it: Nidia: Jamie's hick girlfriend, now hanging in the Women's Division Jackie: Rico's...friend. Linda: Turned Shaniqua, was a manager for a bit. Matt: ...unknown right now. Johnny: Now is JOHNNY NITRO! Bischoff's Apprentice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHK 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 It's not only that, but if memory serves me correctly, didn't maven win the first Tough Enough? That was what, 3 years ago? Shouldn't his character have evolved by now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Nanks Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Whilst it would be good to have him move on from being Maven: Tough Enough Winner. It wouldn't be good to take away his Tough Enough entrance music. Man that song's cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jester 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 When is Nowisnki due back? I was kinda digging his heel character. If only he could stay uninjured. "Good news Mr. Nowinski! Now that you're healthy, we're sending you to Smackdown!" "Oh. Yay for me." "And were putting you in a high profile feud with...BOB HOLLY!"

I don't know if he'll ever be back. At least, WWE hasn't had an update on him in quite a while. The last thing was an article stating how severe his injury was. That was months ago.
