After a month in release, the Rise and Fall of ECW DVD has become the 3rd biggest selling DVD of 2004, behind Wrestlemania XX (#1) and Monday Night Wars (#2).

 

The Air Force Link has a story up now on WWE's Christmas In Iraq. According to the story, Eddie Guerrero, Big Show, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, Mick Foley, Miss Jackie, Dawn Marie, and Torrie Wilson all made the trip over. To read the full story, click here.

 

WWE has purchased an ad in tommorrow's New York Times promoting Christmas In Iraq. If you wish to see it, Click here

 

Lance Storm has updated the Q & A section of his site. Storm said that the only things that would likely bring him back to the ring would be a Wrestlemania match or an ECW Reunion show. He also said that his feuds with Tommy Dreamer and Chris Candido were likely his greatest feuds, and finally, he said the coolest things he hears from fans is, "I miss watching you wrestle." You can check out the rest of the Q & A by click here

 

Mick Foley and Sabu will both be at the January 21, 2005 Border City Wrestling show which is a memorial show for Douglas Chevalier in Ontario. Sabu and Jimmy Hart will be taking part in autograph sessions on the show. Foley will be the special guest referee for Alex Shelley Vs. Chris Sabin for the BCW TV Title. Also scheduled for the show are TNA X Champion Petey Williams,

Bobby Rude, and many of the other regulars.

Storm's other commentary was better, in which he booked himself to be the next big star of Raw. It was basically him taking Shawn's place in the SS elimination match last year. It would have done a MUCH better job long term than having Shawn in the match did.

That must be a joke.

 

I hate to break it to some of you folks, but Lance Storm as a main eventer wouldn't sell out a flea market.

 

At best he is I.C./U.S. title level.

 

Storm over HBK? That just cracks me up.

Nope, it isn't a joke. Your statement is incorrect.

Who's claiming it would? No one, not even Storm himself, is claiming he in HBK's place would make a damn bit of difference to the buyrates, ratings, etc. What he is saying is.....

 

Storm over HBK? That just cracks me up.

 

.... that it would have meant A LOT more to use him than Shawn. Be honest with me, what did Shawn gain from that match? "Oh my God, Shawn Michaels, he's so heroic, look at him fight on. WOW what a trooper". Er, yeah, but it's been hammered over our heads for YEARS that Shawn Michaels is an underdog, always fighting adversity, yada yada yada. What did he REALLY gain from that match? Any more heat than he already had? No. Did it make him a star? Nope. Did it make any money? Nope. NOW.... use Storm in the same position. Would it have affected the buyrate for SurSer? No. No less, no worse. Would it have made Storm a future draw? Who knows. HOWEVER, it would have made Storm look like a million bucks, give him a huge rub, get him over big time and give him a permanent stay in the upper mid card. Don't even try and TELL me that Shawn was a better option than Lance.

 

Besides, Storm was actually a part of the feud. Shawn was just added at the last minute for no reason at all.

I meant in regards to 'making a star'. Regardless of if Lance is any good or not, the fact is, he in place of Shawn would have given him a lot of credibility, something Shawn already has.

Paul, dressing up as The Undertaker doesn't mean you're getting pushed any more.

Shawn was a better option than Lance because Lance Storm is the drizzling fucking shits.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Lance was fucking great in ECW, the last good thing about WCW, and tore the house down in WWF when he was given the chance, especially against Edge.

WEll duh...you can say that for ANYONE who hasn't been in a top level spot. If they're in a main even match..it's gonna make them look better. Oh...and WWE DID do something like that. See JBL. They did the same thing with Orton. They did it with..umm, I don't know, would Jeff Hardy work? Even though his was just one title shot..

 

It's just so happens that it wasn't Lance Storm. And well, from what people say about the stars I mentioned, there's no sure way you can say that he would gain more credibility getting that shot...as it's been proven that even more, people hate that person when they get that spot.
