Guest Brian Report post Posted May 6, 2002 Damn, haven't done one of these in a while. Well, here's what they say: - Final numbers came in at 1.3 million buys for WM. Fuck, that's a lot of buys. Tyson/Lewis is expected to be around 2 million by projections, but fuck that's a lot of buys. - Christian and Storm are frustrated, Chritians getting vocal. They deserve to be pushed; at least Christian. - Finlay is in charge of the Women's division and deserves a ton of credit. - Farooq is nearing retirment and wants to be an agent. - Tough Enough stable in the works at HWA or OVW. Those spoiled fuckers. - Rock's made more than $10 million off the movie, more than 4.5 on bonuses. - TV ratings may affect the decision to make Taker/Hogan a four-way. May be the only way to make it watchable. - Jericho told a former WCW co-worker that he feels Triple H intentionally sabotaged his push. For some reason, I feel like that should be funny, just because it's Triple H doing it, but it's definately not. - Rey has to pass a physical. The contract is signed. Malenko is pushing for Mysterio's debut to be major. - Guerrero is disappointed to be on RAW because Benoit, Chavo, and Malenko are on Smackdown. - WWA eruption drew a pitiful 18,000 buys. Cut off their legs now, and let's promote the Jarrett thing. Well, my view is if they really want to do a promotion right, sign Shamrock, Jarrett, and Steiner and work with RF (as much as I dislike him). I'm not really seeing many big name free agents around anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For some reason, I feel like that should be funny, just because it's Triple H doing it, but it's definately not. Thanks for the info. I'm curious if the Torch expanded on the Triple H/Jericho thing at all. Did they add their own comments or opinions from the locker room on the story? If Rock made $10 million for that movie, then I don't think he'll be wrestling again for a long time. But I thought he only had a base salary of like half a million though and then he could make up to $5 million depending on how well the move did at the box office. How much worse does Hogan have to do in the ratings for them to make the main event a 4 way? Not that I think the 4 way with Jericho and Triple H is a bigger draw. But it's clear they need to get the belt off Hogan immediately and the last thing they need to do is put the belt on Taker. If the plan is to put the belt on HHH in a few months, they should just do it now and save more pointless title switches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted May 6, 2002 If the plan is to put the belt back on HHH...the WWF is in more trouble than I thought. They pretty much put a bullet in Jericho's future when they gave the belt to HHH...that bombed...so they decided to ride Hulkamania...that bombed... ...you can't go back to the first thing that bombed. Austin is the person who can be most trusted with the belt at this point..but I don't think that's a good idea either...cause we've been there too. How bad is the WWF? They have the top guys from WWF, WCW, ECW & NWO on 1 roster...and they can't come up with anything new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Report post Posted May 6, 2002 I thought Malenko retired. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smeghead Report post Posted May 7, 2002 Malenko did retire from wrestling. But he still works with the WWF...excuse me, the WWE as a road agent. (Man, that's gonna take some getting used to.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Brian Report post Posted May 7, 2002 It's just funny how when Triple H was given the belt. he failed too. They have to put the belt on Austin; him on both shows is the best hope for ratings. Than they need Rock back so I can get my fucking Rock/Austin that I've been waiting a year for. Than put the belt on Rock. And turn HHH heel. Than eventually Triple H gets the belt and the chase is set. Than put over the new guy, whether it's Benoit or RVD. And if not Triple H, than Angle or Jericho.

Guest Brian Report post Posted May 7, 2002 alfdogg, what I'm saying is it's ironic that Triple H has enough power to destroy Jericho's reign but not enough to save his own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest hunger4unger Report post Posted May 8, 2002 HHH as heel having the strap would spice things up a bit. He is treading water as a face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted May 8, 2002 I agree that Christian deserves a push. But Lance Storm deserves one as well. Why does everyone have so much hate for Storm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not really seeing many big name free agents around anymore. Who is this Tough Enough stable made up of? They only have Matt, Nidia, and Harvard Chirs. And Christian and Lance are complaining? That takes some balls . Are those little sentences at the end your opinions or are they in the new bites? I agree that Christian deserves a push. But Lance Storm deserves one as well. Why does everyone have so much hate for Storm?Everyone here miostly loves Storm. I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
