Vyce 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2004 Another week I won't be watching. The Dudley Boyz get their 5096th reign as Tag Champs. Whoop-de-doo. That about sums it all up. Say what you will about Haas / Rico, they were at least halfway entertaining as champs. So what does the WWE do? Put the belts on the Dudleys who a) have only had the belts a billion times already and b) regardless of what the WWE is trying to sell us, are just as incredibly banal and stale as they've been for the past 2 years or more. Totally forgettable and thus, not worth watching, Smackdown this week. I'll stick with Velocity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a little fucked up to have two title changes just days before a PPV though. Just please god tell me we won't see Rey vs Chavo Jr again at GAB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted June 16, 2004 At least the spoilers are funny. The first thing that came to my mind when I read what Heyman said was, "they should fill that crypt with crap, the same thing they're filling this PPV with." The only way they can top this is if Cole tries to defend it next week by saying the cement will be dangerously quick-drying. Chavo Classic's departure would be such a touching moment if the guy wasn't over the hill, wasn't wrestling, and didn't scare everybody into thinking he might be dead somewhere. Classic Vince Macmahon shows up, as the only way to deal with negatives is to blame everyone else and not deal with it. I'm sure the mean old "media" is too negative, Bradshaw. I mean, how can they not see the positives of one of their employees goose-stepping in front of a live crowd and doing the Nazi salute in Germany around the 60th anniversary of D-Day? If Vince had any sense he'd cut this from the tapings and not make himself and his company look more like a joke, but he probably won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted June 16, 2004 Do they show Bradshaw being the Hitler 2 or is it just the part where it says "Bradshaw was fired" part? If the latter...it's not a bad thing. Makes him look more like a loose cannon that the Cable show had to fire him for being so constroversial. Personaly, I still think it's a ploy for the WMXXI Goldberg/Bradshaw showdown.
