DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 What the hell was that TNA rant about, JR? I'm not even sure I understand his point... is he saying TNA should only do straight wrestling with no silly angles but also not be built on wrestling because that's making them a "WWE wannabe" trying to out WWE the WWE? He lost me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JHawk 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 After watching ECW Tuesday night on Sci Fi, it strikes me that the ECW boys may be having a few too many Hardcore Rules matches on their TV shows. If you have one every week, they cease being special. If one table isn’t enough what is? 5, 10? I vividly recall at Summerslam fans yelling “We Want Fire” during the” I Quit” match between Flair and Foley. What in the hell is up with that?! What’s next……organ donation??I like what I am seeing from C.M. Punk on ECW. He has a tremendous upside. Let’s hope Punk avoids the injury bug and the mental strains of potential stardom. My advice to him would be to remain diligent and professional, work harder than anyone in the building, and be prepared to carry the ball when your play is called. While I like the fact that JR put Punk over, this goes to show that JR, while claiming he watched the ECW product, has about as much clue as WWE management does. ECW, by its nature, was a hardcore fed with no rules. Every match was "Extreme rules", and I don't seem to recall people getting sick of them. The catch to them was that while nearly every match was no DQ, and weapons were almost always legal, not every match relied on them. You had your high-flying spotfests, you had your technical wrestling masterpieces, and you had your brawls and blood. Extreme rules in ECW should be implied, because that's what makes it ECW. Do I want every match to be loaded with outside interference, tables, fire, and blood? No. But I don't want an ECW match ending on a DQ either, because DQs and ECW don't go together.

Enigma 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Russo didnt really get any booking pull or heavy influence until Spring 97, after a RAW taping they did in Germany (I believe it was) that just bombed in the ratings. Think about the same time that RAW changed drastically cosmetically....that was when abouts Russo got this power. While ideas of his may have been used in some form before then, the real official move didnt happen til Spring 97. Well then who was responsible for the huge change of direction in Raw in late 96, with everything becoming edgy? The Pillman/Austin gun angle. Bret Hart shoving Vince down and swearing on live TV unbleeped which caused Raw to have a 7 second delay. One of the most brilliant wrestling storylines ever done.... in the Austin/Bret feud, Bret's slow realistic heel turn on US fans, and the reformation of the Hart Foundation. Who came up with all of that? Bret shoving Vince down and cursing like a sailor happened a few weeks after Russo took over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hell, it's on their website: http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/clim...op/sdtlcphotos/ This is the description: This will go down as one of the greatest matches in SmackDown history. The World Tag Team Championship was on the line as The Dudleys, The Hardy Boyz and Chris Jericho & Chris Benoit battled for supremacy. Jericho and Benoit had just become the champions three days prior but had no time to rest. Even though he was stretchered out during the match, Benoit recovered, climbed the ladder and grabbed the gold to retain. They took Edge and Christian out of the description.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 From PWInsider, about the PPV this Sunday: -As of this morning, there isn't a chance at all that John Cena will be going to Smackdown on the CW network. The idea hasn't been brought up, there isn't any talk in having it happen, nothing. They see him as their biggest star, and no matter if SD "needs" him or not, he's staying on the more important show, RAW. Now, obviously that could change, but that's the way it stands as of this morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hunter's Torn Quad 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 Well then who was responsible for the huge change of direction in Raw in late 96, with everything becoming edgy?

One of the most brilliant wrestling storylines ever done.... in the Austin/Bret feud, Bret's slow realistic heel turn on US fans, and the reformation of the Hart Foundation. Who came up with all of that? The gun angle was the idea of Jake Roberts. The Bret Hart heel turn was McMahon's idea, with Bret coming up with the pro-Canada part of the storyline. Russo came onto the writing team proper the week after the Raw from Europe that held the European title match with Owen and Davey Boy. And you can ignore Russo's 'shoot' interview.

milliondollarchamp 0 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 I have been thinking is there any chance this whole Trish is retiring could be one big swerve I never seen anyone getting this kind of sendoff like her. Edge made a comment saying that all good looking people are from Toronto, they could have Trish beating lita and "retiring" as the womens champ they shake hands and trish leaves with the crowd cheering for her. Later during the TLC lita tries to interfer Trish not wanting that to happen runs down and takes out Lita and also does something to cost Cena the match aligning herself with Edge.

Downhome 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 On PWInsider, the guys are talking about Kurt Angle wanting to get into MMA, even if for one big match for one big payoff.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 As I've never seen 5 Questions with John Cena, I assumed at first that was a Brooklyn Bralwer shirt and the slogan referenced the fact he might have been the question asker on said show. However, I see it has Cena's "Hustle / Loyalty / Respect" slogan on it, thus I assume it is a Cener shirt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
