RedJed 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 If they are going to give Kash and Noble a new tag team gimmick, the least they could do is put a match on Smackdown against Gymini or London/Kendrick for the tag belts. It baffles me that they just started this out of nowhere. Actually that team might be a cool thing to bring into the ECW brand, Pitbulls 2006. I would assume both of those guys will be sent there anyway. Biggest non surprise in quite some time that Masters is on the juice (and get rid of him while we're at it) and with Mercury, I could see them maybe moving him to ECW possibly. Oh and I am thinking Dusty Rhodes for GM and that Shantelle chick is cute as fuck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt they would be confused with the change in gimmicks. Was their ever a storyline to explain why the Road Warriors/Legion of Doom decided to wear facepaint and spiked shoulder pads? Was their ever a storyline to explain why Demolition decided to wear facepaint and an insane amount of leather? It doesn't need to be explained for it to be successful.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 It's higher. A $5 difference and probably the wrong direction to go. It should return to $29.95 for all non Mania shows. Realistically, tacking on another $5 isn't much but I don't think it was a good move because people are already iffy on plopping $35 down, $40 might just be too much. So does this mean Mania will be $54.95 next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHawk 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2006 It will cause lower buyrates, but the thinking is the extra money will counteract that.

I'd be optimistic for a decent show. Only thing turly horrible will be Taker vs. Khali, which has a car wreck appeal to me. Tag match should be excellent if they give it time.

Scroby 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 Dude for 40 Dollars, the ECW PPV better be good. I really want to get the PPV but more matches need to be annouced. We only have two. We have RVD vs Cena and Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk vs Foley & Edge. We are two weeks away from the PPV and not much has been annouced. I'm hoping we get some more information about the PPV tomorrow night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought Wreckless Intent at Circuit City for $11 and it came with a $5 rebate on any of the next 3 PPVs (ONS, Venegance, GAB) as long as you have the little form, receipt and a bill with the PPV ordered on it and have it mailed in by sometime in September.

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 Tanaka/Awesome was confirmed for the show but it was announced 2 days before or something. Rhino/Sabu was the only match not announced I believe.

I think we got told about the matches though the ad's for the PPV, but still last year, we knew a good number of matches for the PPV a few weeks before the actual PPV. I want to know if we're going to have any "ECW matches" instead of ECW vs WWE matches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted May 29, 2006 On The Law last night, Melter said that Randy Orton was very close to being fired, and that they aren't very happy about having to bring him back at all, but are doing so because Smackdown is so thin on the ground when it comes to heels. Meltzer thinks that if Orton doesn't change his attitude, they'll likely fire him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
