Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Keep in mind Savio had been on TV a month ... a month ... and he's in the finals of the King of the Ring. Mmhmm ... GREAT booking there. Well with Razor being injured, they didn't have much of a choice but to replace him with Savio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted June 28, 2004 This show would be bad enough if you just took Paul Bearer being killed or Bradshaw winning the title but combine them and this is easily in the top 5 of worst shows ever. And didn't the WWF swear they'd never kill anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Ronixis Report post Posted June 28, 2004 What the fuck? JBL WINS? FUCK NO! Oh speaking of Titles- if you want to really get Technical- The NWA World Title is the Number 1 title- followed by the WWE Womens Title- (It has only changed hands twice, and has been only consistant title in the since the brand extention started) The Smackdown Tag Team- Then The Raw/NWA(whatever you call it) Title- then the IC, then WWE's Title. But if I added the Juniors- The X Title will be first then NWA World-Then The Crusierwight- then Womens, because even with Beniot- I still cant see(The Raw World) it as "True" World Champ Title, even tho it has been promoted as such. But this is a new low- Unless Eddy wins it back OR Vince calls Kurt's bluff and the title switch never took place- The WWE title will fall to bush league levels, hell, even the POND WATER belts over in Japan will have more cred (JR...)

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted June 28, 2004 What good came out of this show? Did anyone positive come out of this show? Anything at all? Tell me now please... It's giving us all something to talk about? ... I've got nothing. Positives? Um...at least hot dogs, baseball, and apple pie ("American traditions") weren't used as foreign objects?

NYU 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 You know you gotta wonder now....whats going to win Wrestlecraps annual Gooker of the year award, the whole Kane/Lita/Matt Hardy thing on Raw or Bradshaw as the world champion.....I think I'll vote for Bradshaw winning the world title. Personally, I would vote for Paul Bearer being buried alive in a cement tomb. This is what's so great about WWE 2004. So many choices! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michaels winning would have continued the respectibility of the KOTR tournament. Mabel winning made it ... a joke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or a nice way of informing the WWE that I want the McMahon family to burn in hell where they will be ripped apart by rapid badgers for the decision to make Bradshaw champion?

RavishingRickRudo 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 What are the odds the WWE blames "the WCW name" as the reason why the show bombed and that next year it will be "WWE Fully Loaded"?? However, I am now looking forward to reading Smackdown spoilers now but not actually watching the show, which is a step up from "oh... look... Smackdown spoilers..." *clicks on another thread* and not watching the show. I am semi-quasi-interested in both what happens to Taker and JBL. Congrats WWE~!

geniusMoment 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 I have a black box and did not watch one second of that ppv. What does it say when a die hard fan, who used to order every ppv from 92-00 and go to every house show in the area, does not even watch a show for free when they are charging $35 for it. An absolute disgrace of a ppv. For the first time ever I see no hope in watching anymore. I have not seen a smackdown show since wrestlemania, I have no desire to continue watching anymore. For years I have watched friends start and then stop watching wrestling, I never thought I would no longer watch, I thought I would be a fan for life. But I have had it. The thing is I am not even really mad anymore, I am just tired of caring. I wish I liked TNA or ROH, but I just do not. I have a feeling this may be it, it makes me very sad.

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Yeah really, don't get all upset because Bradshaw is the champion. I mean sure, it really will degrade the belt, but come on, you can't tell me Bradshaw wouldn't have won. And besides I highly doubt he lasts a month as the champion.

Guest Askewniverse Report post Posted June 28, 2004 Michaels winning would have continued the respectibility of the KOTR tournament. Mabel winning made it ... a joke. I agree. I still don't understand why Michaels didn't win the 1995 KOTR. I had Michaels vs. Yoko pegged as the finals. Instead, we got Mabel vs. Savio in an uneventful match. I guess the writing crew had a brain fart...much like the booking for GAB 2004. Right, good. Anyone have a polite way to call someone a scum sucking piece of dogsh*t?

Gert T 0 Report post Posted June 28, 2004 I'm sure the WWE does not really care (and it probably has been discussed here before), but do they expect fans even care when a wrestler gets arrested by evil authority figure by trespassing in the ring when homicide is allowed? I understand it is entertainment, (I'll use the term loosely) but c'mon. Oh well I haven't watched a full SD! since the week before Judgment Day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
