haVoc 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2004 - WWE continued to have Steven Richards dress in drag and come to help Victoria at weekend house shows. - The feeling backstage right now is that WWE is opting to give more TV time to the guys who are already over rather than waste time trying to get new acts over. They are also trying to connect most of their top guys and storylines to Triple H. - Test injured his neck over the weekend at the house shows. - Weekend house shows were pretty good. The RAW show in Buffalo on Friday night drew 3800 paid for a gate of around $100,000. The MSG show on Saturday drew 10,000 for a gate of $350,000. The Sunday show in Salisbury, MD drew 2200 fans for a gate of around $70,000. - The latest edition of TV Guide has the following in their "Cheers and Jeers" section: "Jeers to pro wrestler John "Bradshaw" Layfield, who got fired from his day job as a CNBC analyst for giving a Nazi salute during a match in Germany. Why did the cable net hire this dummkopf?" - Eric Bischoff is partnering with Jason Hervey, Scott Sternberg Productions, and Rick Hilton on a new reality TV show called "777." The show will be about seven rich guys who each will put up $1 million in a winner take all gambling competition that will take place in Las Vegas. The seven people will live together in a suite during the show. The William Morris Agency will start offering the show to networks this week. Eric Bischoff is expected to miss RAW next week, likely due to this new show. Credit: PWInsider.com/411mania Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Real F'n Show Report post Posted June 29, 2004 The WWE is so retarded. They could just as easily team Stevie with Tajiri and have some decent challengers for La Resistance that the fans can get behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple must be M.Bison from Street Fighter II. Everyone has to face him in order to win the game and only a few can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 It's made things more interesting though, because conflict with HHH brings conflict with Evolution, which gets everyone in Evolution involved with something and you have the big web of feuds that we had throughout April and May that were so interesting.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Triple H must be M. Bison from Street Fighter II. Then Randy Orton is one sorry-ass Vega. But I hope that this means HHH will break out the Psycho Crusher at the next PPV. Spinning dropkick that glows blue? THAT'S workrate, baby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evolution...as the 4 "locked" fighters in the original SF 2... M. Bison = HHH. The manipulator of all. Balrog = Batista. Kills people with lariats. Sagat = Flair. Has old man boobies. Vega = Orton.

Thank you, Captain Optimistic. Where were you to make me feel better during Katie Vick? - The latest edition of TV Guide has the following in their "Cheers and Jeers" section: "Jeers to pro wrestler John "Bradshaw" Layfield, who got fired from his day job as a CNBC analyst for giving a Nazi salute during a match in Germany. Why did the cable net hire this dummkopf?" TV Guide= the last outpost of multicultural wit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These writers just made their job 10 times easier. Why not give each new program written for the wrestlers to Triple H so he can give each script a pedigree?

Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted June 30, 2004 Yes, the literal translation of dummkopf would be something along the lines of "idiot" or "dummy," but it's the TV guide friendly PG version, we know what they really meant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
