Batista out indefinitely

[Guest [censored]]

Hey, Rocky 5 was better than 4.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

Well this explains why you like your idea. Listen I'm a Lashley fan and I don't think he sucks but your idea is terrible. Your taking a guy with 7 TV/Net appearances and putting him at the forefront of the company going into the most important series of PPV's of the the year. If it fails, you've not only screwed over a promising career but completely fucked up 1/2 of world title picture and possible main event. All so you can rehash one of the shittest movies of all time. Your idea sucks, move on.

According to Bryan Alvarez, he might not even be able to drop the belt in the ring, and he'll probably be out for a while.

Just let the monster die, ok.

Looks like the title change is happening next week:

 

And then next week on Friday Night SmackDown, Batista will defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton and Eddie Guerrero. With the odds stacked against him, will The Animal be able to retain?

Randy wins, Batista gets his comeback video in January, wins Rumble, rematch at Mania, yada yada

The news about Batista or that terrible idea from gWIL?

[Guest [censored]]

Dude you have Lashley going through Benoit, Kennedy, Booker T and Matt Hardy not too mention you have Matt Hardy main eventing a PPV, and you make Batista look like a fucking pussy all to push some uber rookie who you A) have no idea if he can look good in anything but a squash and B) consistently get over with the crowd.

 

What the fuck ever dude. I like this Lashley guy but he is sure as hell not Brock Lesnar and may not even be a Goldberg.

 

I mean seriously you drop the belt to Lashley and then throw Matt hardy into a main event.

 

WOW just WOW

[gWIL 0]

I not a Hardy fan, but the point is he doesn't face main eventers. He faces a man who has never main evented (Hardy), A washed up former World Champion and a fellow rookie (Kennedy). He doesn't go through Benoit. Also Hardy/Lashley would not have been the main event, I stated that earlier. He's overrated, he hasn't fought no one.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

So, you want to make the babyface champion face non-top guys, washed up wrestlers and rookies. Not only that, you don't even want him in the main event.

 

Yeah, that's a good idea.

[gWIL 0]

He's not a babyface though. He doesn't get cheers, he gets jeers. He's no different than a heel ducking faces only it's not directly stated that he's ducking people.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

He's not a babyface though. He doesn't get cheers, he gets jeers.

Well, that makes this stinking pile of crap all the more better then. The winner is you.

[BUTT 0]

I've always found it strange when people do fantasy booking and they time the match right down to the seconds. They don't do that in real life, you know, unless it's something like the Styles/Daniels finish.

[The Niggardly King 0]

Really, the time is now for Heidenreich to step up and become the Sid of the 00s.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

You mean he's going to try and stab Matt Hardy with scissors?

[Downhome 0]

No. He means he needs to take a shit in the ring.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

No. He means he needs to take a shit in the ring.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Wouldn't his matches thus far suffice?

[Team Angle Pusher 0]

Are Orton and Eddie both in the Survivor Series match yet?

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

Eddie's not.

 

But Orton's supposed to work with Taker again.

[Guest New Jake]

Really, the time is now for Heidenreich to step up and become the Sid of the 00s.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Heidenreich is a disaster and Batista is already filling Sid's crappy role quite well already.

 

And I will boycott Smackdown if they put the belt on Orton's useless ass again.

[Scroby 0]

Besides I thought Snitsky was going to be the new sid.

[Guest New Jake]

None of these bumbs have the adversity of Sid.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

The adversity of Sid? You mean breaking his leg on a PPV?

 

I have said before that I think Heidenreich will be a main eventer at some point. He just has that look that WWE likes. I'm not saying I want it to happen, but having your champion go down like Batista has makes it all the more possible.

[MillenniumMan831 0]

Main Event star getting injured right before Survivor Series . . . I think we've seen this enough times to tell who'll end up as champion at the end of the ppv. Whether he's on Smackdown or not . . .

 

WWEELLLLLL, IT'S THE BIG SHOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!

this thread makes my eyes bleed...

Exactly

True, bad booking says it might happen. But it sure as FUCK won't market let alone draw.

[cabbageboy 0]

Nah, Sid was a much better wrestler in his prime than Heidenreich could ever be. Hell, Sid from 1990-93 was a very solid big man type.

 

I have no idea who they'd put the belt on here. I'm thinking they'd put it on Eddie with a UT return to cost Orton. But then Eddie won't even defend at Survivor Series since he's already in the big tag match. Besides, after the times Orton has cost UT a match I figure it's time UT cost him a match.

And so they are doing the dumb thing. Batista should not be getting in that ring, and he sure shouldn't be jobbing for any reason. They vacate the title for no reason at all back in January, but they can't here?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That idea was brutal.

[Guest Jack Potts]

I think at this stage in his career, the only, ONLY way to make Lashley a viable champ would be to straight up acknowledge his inexperience. You could run an angle where he teams up with a wily, experienced former wrestler as his manager. (Hell, let Vader do that!) Lashley would acknowledge that he's got youth and power on his side, but he needs an edge against seasoned ring generals like Benoit and Guerrero, so he enlists the aid of a former wrestler to manage him. The vet's reluctant at first, but eventually agrees. The vet's regimen and methods are draconian, even cruel, but effective (maybe even going so far as to throw in the towel against a jobber if Lashley doesn't seem to be taking his opponent seriously enough in the ring), and the respect between student and mentor grows. You get this point across to the crowd by having them discuss strategy before the match and have the announcers get it over by talking about the strategy as it unfolds in the match.
