iliketurtles Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Stephanie McMahon will be going to the OVW tapings tomorrow night which no doubt has added pressures and incentives for everyone in that promotion. The pressures have taken on added meaning with the recent talent releases. Da Meltz. Edit: Sent, not send. EDIT: fixed title - Nik Edited April 12, 2005 by nikjohns
Karc Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 She won't be going to fire people, she'll be going to sign them up. I think this also happened last year after the mass firings.
Carnival Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Is she gonna tell them all to cut their hair? and fire all the wrestlers and bring in all the gimmicks. I hope so...hopefully Jim Cornette hits her with the tennis racket....then she dies.

In related news, the concession stands at tomorrow night's show will be open an extra three hours to accomodate Ms. McMahon's visit.
Team Angle Pusher Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Well this might explain Chilly Willy's release from OVW
Guest Salacious Crumb Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Triple H probably sent her there to score some roids for him.
Precious Roy Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I don't have access to OVW TV, who other than MNM are potential call-ups at this point? Both the ones who are ready and the ones who might get fast tracked due to a look? There was a mention of a quality Matt Morgan/Cornette promo on WOL, wouldn't surprise me to see him back in the bigs soon....
JoeDirt Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I could see the Shane Twins or Morgan and Mordecai/Fertig/Vengeance/Seven called up very soon. Maybe Cappotelli and Jeter, too.
Guest Coffey Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 ...and here I thought this thread would be important. I was thinking it was going to say something like Stephanie is going to book OVW now and switch places with Jim Cornette.
Fro Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 I don't have access to OVW TV, who other than MNM are potential call-ups at this point? Both the ones who are ready and the ones who might get fast tracked due to a look? There was a mention of a quality Matt Morgan/Cornette promo on WOL, wouldn't surprise me to see him back in the bigs soon.... MNM (Johnny Nitro, Joey Matthews, Melina Perez), Jeter/Capotelli, Brent Albright, Matt Morgan, Jillian Hall, Alexis Laree are all people I would call up now if I were running things. Out of those, I think only MNM and Matt Morgan were the only two WWE was planning on bringing up anytime soon. I think one of the OVW women will get a shot now that Molly quit, probably Jillian Hall as she's an excellent heel character. Blaster Lasheley might get fasttracked but there's really no hosses left down there (and Blaster is a marginally sized hoss). Mordecai might get another shot. No sign of the Shane Twins on OVW TV yet. Lance Cade is down there too at the moment, and I imagine he'll probably get his roster spot back. I really need to do some profiles on all these guys at some point, sort of like how they do minor league rankings in baseball and project their WWE ceiling.
natey2k4 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Im just gonna chirp in that Brent Albright is awesome
razazteca Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 Why don't they just cancell Raw Zone and rename it OVW tv?
Guest theanswer1824 Posted April 12, 2005 Report Posted April 12, 2005 they should send her tits to ovw to shapen up.
iliketurtles Posted April 12, 2005 Author Report Posted April 12, 2005 Albright is great. MNM could make the tag team division intresting again, immediately. Thanks Nik.
Eclipse Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Heh, that's not gonna matter. Whatever talent ends up moving up won't be correctly used anyways.
reign Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 With the women's division being put to sleep aparently it would be great to run a summer storyline where all these fresh new tag teams show up on Raw WANTING the tag titles on Raw since they are indeed the REAL World tag team titles...the angle would be the competition itself..maybe a Round Robin Tournament..we haven't seen that for a while..but you could throw in at least three tag teams from OVW and involve La Res and Regal/Tajiri/Eugene and maybe Hassan and Davari after Monday night...it would be fun and it would definately counter the goddamn Diva search that we will be forced to endure...maybe the Rockers will return too...
justcoz Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Johnny Nitro, Joey Matthews and Melina are more than likely headed to SD. Perhaps Matt Capotelli and Johnny Jeter could still end up on Raw although MNM wouldneed some good teams to work with on Smackdown. Why didn't they keep Albright and Masters as a tag team instead of putting Masters in this singles gimmick role he obviously can't pull off. Maybe put ALbright with Rob Conway who needs out of the La Resistance gimmick. Matt Morgan and Fertig in a Demolition gimmick to compete with the reuninted Rockers? Teddy Hart and Harry Smith maybe?
iliketurtles Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Posted April 13, 2005 Not to boss people around and even though it's cool, you probably should put a spoiler tag on that first sentence.
justcoz Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 I just re-wrote or erased history, WWE creative style ;-)
IWD Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Paul Burchill is also down there, who's an impressive 6'4" 280lb worker who can do a standing shooting star press as well as a variety of good power moves. He also has a lot more agility than recent OVW call-ups. He could make a big name for himself if they use his correctly. Actually, I e-mailed Lance Storm a week or so ago to ask how he was doing and he said he was doing just fine there. Cheers.
Black Lushus Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 are OVW shows actually any good? I'd love to get my hands on some tapes...
Fro Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 are OVW shows actually any good? I'd love to get my hands on some tapes... It's the most entertaining wrestling program I watch every week... very well-booked, decent wrestling (not great usually but sometimes good), great announcing. There's usually a *** match about every couple weeks and 2-3 **** matches a year on TV. Sometimes it's just solid, sometimes it's very good.
Kardo Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 are OVW shows actually any good? I'd love to get my hands on some tapes... The ring work is sometimes great, sometimes lame. But everyone is booked to their strengths making the shows great to watch.
Black Lushus Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 booked to their strengths, imagine that...now if only we can get the big leagues to do that we'd have something...
justcoz Posted April 13, 2005 Report Posted April 13, 2005 Stephanie McMahon canceled her scheduled trip to OVW today. Going instead were John Laurinaitis, Ted DiBiase, Ed Koskey, David Lagana and Brian Gewirtz. They will all be watching the TV taping tonight, as well as watching matches in the gym with the various wrestlers who aren't working TV, and observing everyone cutting promos. from Wrestling Observer I really wish they'd promote Stephanie to another position, outside of creative. It's time to move on. She's the head of the creative team and she can't even bother to check out their development roster? Then she's expected to know what to do with the talent when they get called up? Watch Koskey, Laguna and Gerwitz all take pointers from how Cornette writes OVW TV, books to talent's strengths, etc. and make similar suggestions to Steph only for her to shoot them down. They should just send the entire creative team to a wrestling booking bootcamp with Cornette.
Dimensions Posted April 14, 2005 Report Posted April 14, 2005 Does anyone else hope Steph gets pregnant and decides to stay off the road cause all the travel would be to stressful for mini-H?
