Trivia tidbits from PWS

Guest Trivia247

From ProWrestlingScoop's Reporter Justin Rowland on 06.07.2004

 

Just a note, Jeff Hardy's profile page is still up over at WWE.com. It can be found by Clicking Here

 

There has been some talk as of late concering a feud between Ric Flair and Mick Foley that would take advantage of the legitimate heat that exists between the two.

 

The reason for Edge's heel promo at the WWE house show in Manchester, England last week was due to the fact that WWE road agents instructed wrestlers to play more to the crowd's reactions and desires. Since the crowd was booing Edge and not helping him get over as a face like what should have happened, Edge played to the crowd by cutting a heel promo. In the past, heels were told to get the crowd to turn against them and babyfaces were told to get the crowd to love them.

 

A few days ago it was reported that WWE has been expressing interestin some TNA wrestlers. Among said workers are Chris Sabin, Michael Shane, and Trinity.

 

Vengeance will cap off the first time WWE has run three PPVs in the span of six weeks, and the buyrate numbers for the shows will help determine whether WWE will expand to 20 PPVs a year or not.

Most of the bios of fired/quitting wrestlers are still buried on the server, except for the first crop of people who left. And only recently were Mr. Perfect and Scott Hall's removed from the server.

Oh no . . . *please* don't take Michael Shane! No, don't do it! It'll cripple the X-Division! Or something like that . . . haven't those guys (and Trinity) signed contracts with TNA though?

I'm surprised it took this long for WWE to go after Michael Shane, with his connections to Shawn Michaels and he can definitely work "WWE style." They could easily put him up against Paul London at house shows or in OVW. Chris Sabin could be good to, but he doesn't have the look of a cruiserweight and can't work too well with heavyweights so he'll probably be stuck in OVW forever if he is signed.

kinda pointless for them to look at the X division wrestlers if they are shafting the Cruiserweight division every thursday thanks to Pritchard

This is all stuff that has been at PWInsirder, Torch or WO. PWS is a "newz" site where the "writers" rip off other sites without credit or on occasion, make stuff up. Let's not regard PWS as a credible source or site.

Haven't they expressed interest in Bobby Roode as well? I saw him in that 6-man tag the other night, and he had the WWE look and he certainly looks like he can wrestle their style real well.

Does this mean the WWE is actually going to let the fans decide who they want to cheer and boo instead of forcing what they want down our throats?

I'd so mark-the-fuck-out for a Victoria/Trinity program. I doubt it'd ever happen since J.R. wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

 

They're probably only looking at Shane because he's related to you-know-who.

 

Sabin surprises me since I thought they were giving up on cruiserweights.

If the Foley/Flair feud happens, at least we'll get some entertaining promos.

It's not about helping WWE, it's about hurting NWA.

Hopefully Edge didn't say "England sucks" and make fun of the way they drink their tea or we may end up with a 5 page thread saying he should be punished with Eddie and Bradshaw.

To quote a certain bald wife-beater...

 

Oh, hell yeah.

Wasn't he a Velocity jobber last year? I can't see why they'd all of a sudden want him now.

I'm hoping they'll save Flair / Foley for SummerSlam, a big match for a big PPV!

I've only seen Michael Shane in action once (the only time I ordered a TNA PPV) and I must say that I was impressed with his abilities (at least on that show). I haven't seen him any other time since, but he seemed good enough then.
