Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Am I the only one who thinks that even if Sting agreed to come in, the crowd would be lukewarm-at-best? Sure, he'd get a fairly nice reaction, but I couldn't see the crowd exploding the 1st time he's seen. I think all these "dream" match scenarios are overestimating how he'd be welcomed by the WWE crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aero 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2005 Heat spoilers below. Val Venis and Viscera defeated Cade & Murdoch in a non-title match. Rob Conway defeated Greg "The Hammer" Valentine by DQ after Eugene came in to attack Conway. After the match Valentine pushes down Eugene for costing him the match. Kerwin White and his Caddy defeated Shelton Benjamin and Matt Striker. Benjamin went to make the hot tag to Striker, but Striker jumped off the apron and laughed then left, which then allowed Kerwin and his Caddy to hit a two man electric chair for the win. I can't be the only one who finds the Eugene part to be hilarious. His whole world must be crashing down in front of him to have a legend be pissed at him. Also, it has to be said... Poor Shelton.

Lil' Bitch 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2005 Why does Undertaker insist on having his opponents only win if there is an unclean finish? Is he saving that one match where he totally puts his opponent over when he can see someone who is the real deal? I think if anything, the HIAC match with Lesnar was the closest you can come to a "clean" Taker loss. Even though his career credentials aren't that impressive if you look at it overall, Taker is one of THE most protected guys in the history of the industry.

MillenniumMan831 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2005 Shelton Benjamin is the Tito Santana of this generation. Former I-C and Tag Champion. A hell of a lot of skill. But his kayfabe credibility gets flushed w/ every match he's in. People still pop for him even though he doesn't have a prayer in hell of beating anyone above Steven Richards status. He should change his finish to the Flying Forearm so the heel can roll out of the ring every time rather than land in the ring to take the pin. And now that Heat is online, a guy named Martel walked out on both of them in tag matches. Poor Shelton indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest P-Any Report post Posted October 21, 2005 i had a couple of ideas for Tag Teams involving tomko. let me know what you think 1. Tomko & Kid Kash- similar to kash and hoyt. Would be a good team and definitly tag champ material 2. Tomko and Carlito- Have tomko be Carlitos Bodyguard but work as a tag team also. I think Carlito with a Tag Title and IC title could be good and get him over. and also would help Tomko cause Carlito could do most of the talking. 3. Tomko & Eugene- this would be a silly tag team. but i think Tomko playing a Badass but nice guy and Eugene being a retard could be funny as hell. Cause Tomko was hilarious with xtain and this could lead to many more funny spots like "Tomko give me a beat" "no" 4. Tomko & Kane- this would require Kane to become darker. but have Kane go back to his old ways and Have Tomko be his Student. Could be a couple of sick son of a bitches. 5. Tomko & Snitsky- Not very creative and i think it would suck but they could be a big man tag team. 6. Tomko & Danny Basham- wouldnt be very good but they are both doing nothing right now and could be a decent team i guess. What do u think of these teams and do any of them have a shot at happening? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why is Kid Kash Wrestling in Deep Valley South wrestling? He should be on at least SD!

Jebus 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2005 From wwe.com: WWE.com: If you could wrestle just one more match, who would it be against? The Rock: A guy I regret not working with, who I grew up watching, would be a guy like Sting in his prime. I would have loved to have wrestled him in his prime. And on the current roster, I always wanted to work with Rey Mysterio. I’d love to go against him with me as a heel in San Diego. I would love that. Sh**, that would be awesome. He’s just one of those gifted guys that can have a great match with anyone. WWE.com: A lot of people on the Internet have always said they would love to have seen The Rock vs. Shawn Michaels. Is that a match you would have liked to have had? The Rock: I was never ever interested in working with him, to be honest with you. I’ve known him for a long time. He came in and worked for my family in Hawaii when I was like 13 – him and Marty Jannetty. It was just one of those things. He was always one of those guys that I said “Hey” to and he said “Hey” – it’s no big deal. ----- 1- I'd LOVE to see heel Rock vs. Rey in San Diego 2- Ouch on the Shawn thing...that can't be good for your ego.

With how they've got booked this, I think it'll be interesting to see what they do, purely from a roadkill perspective, to get out of any corner they get backed into.

I'm getting a 'Vengeance 2005' vibe from the buildup of this pay-per-view, considering the way they're desperately attempting to stack up the extremely pedestrian card. I imagine they want a big buyrate to prove to their stockholders that their 'revolutionary' Taboo Tuesday concept is a huge success, when the previous buyrate showed anything but.
