Highland 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 (edited) *deadpans* It's a start. And c'mon, they want to appear professional with the new dresscode, so why not go one step further and have the announce teams act like commentators for real sports teams? Who knows, maybe Michael Cole can morph into Bob Cole? Edited August 30, 2004 by Highland Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Coffey Report post Posted August 30, 2004 Statement: Someone like Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan or Steve Austin would make a good third man on commentary. They would be a big deal at first because of name value, but after awhile they wouldn't take the focus off of the matches at hand, and it would allow them to stay in the business and on-camera every now and then without upstaging the younger talents or actually having to wrestle. I know Jim Ross can play off of Austin well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twisted Intestine 0 Report post Posted August 30, 2004 Rebuttal: You know the WWE, and you know they'd have Austin saying "What?" to everything JR or King said. No, please no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Three minutes Report post Posted August 31, 2004 I wrote something in my wrestling column for my campus newspaper about Austin being a good third man on commentary if he was motivated and was willing to put his ego aside to get the talent over. Statement: The uproar from the Wrestling Observer writers about WWE not promoting the Rock's appearance last week was totally overblown. It only cost them a few ratings points, maybe. The "anything can happen" feel to a show is more important in the long run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Australian Pride 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Statement: The uproar from the Wrestling Observer writers about WWE not promoting the Rock's appearance last week was totally overblown. It only cost them a few ratings points, maybe. The "anything can happen" feel to a show is more important in the long run. Rebuttal: Agreed, if you leave the Rocks appearances a surprise then people are less likely to be disappointed by his role in the show, which have been reasonably worthless like talking to the Divas. The Rock should only be promoted if he was being used in an 'important' role, like special referree for a World Title match. Statement: WWE needs to have a surprise ending, and winner, to the next Royal Rumble because the whole "against all odds" winner has been done for the past two years and is getting stale.

True. Even if they don't want to let a Spike Dudley win, have it be a midcarder. Someone like Christian or Rob Van Dam, without hyping them up much.

Guest Big Daddy V1 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 rebuttal: It will be likely that Rhyno wins in 2005, but I do see Christian as the "Best Wrestler never to win the heavyweight title" not RVD or Shelton Benjamin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sorry but Shelton I think is a better wrestler then Christian. Christian moveset is basic and kinda of bland, and can't really have a good match unless its with someone great like Jericho. Where as Shelton can have an entertaining match with just about anyone. He is much more exciting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Big Daddy V1 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 rebuttal: eventually, it'll be the same basic move style we're used to seeing from Shelton, making him like RVD or Jericho (the face one). Christian can work with anyone though, making it more likely to be a better choice over Shelton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brett Favre 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Statement: Chris Benoit's reign as a world champion will be an afterthought by years end once the Orton vs Evo feud is kicked into full gear. True. I already forgot he was Champ. Heck, with the way they are booking him, he just seems like a midcarder that never won the title. Funny, how when HHH loses the title, he gets even MORE time.

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Statement: Only HHH has remained in main event programs since losing the heavyweight title. Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Goldberg all drifted away into unimportant crap after losing the title. This proves the incompetence of the WWE creative team, as the best way to keep a guy over after he loses the world title is, ya know, to drift away into mid-card hell.

Guest Big Daddy V1 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 rebuttal: as much as I want to disagree with that logic, it's very true. I mean, Benoit is what, doing heat matches and wrestling Flair halfway through Raw? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AboveAverage484 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2004 Okay, it's been about a year since I've watched wrestling and I read the Raw review the other day and damn! I thought things would start going uphill after Benoit and Eddy won the title. Lemme get this straight; Kane is marrying Lita? Divas are saying "cock" and "cum" on TV? There's a fucking RETARD (well, not really) as a world title contender? At least it's better than HHH fuckin' a dead chick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's a fucking RETARD (well, not really) as a world title contender? At least it's better than HHH fuckin' a dead chick. That is true. Wrestlemania XX teased a wonderful new direction and future for WWE, that now seems like a daydream from long ago. Our world champions are now an unready youngster and a career mid-carder. Raw became great for a brief period while Smackdown has done little but slip. Ratings went up and then went back down. WWE dropped the ball once again.
