Why does RVD need time off? He was just out for a year

 

needs to catch up on his weed smoking?

Dealing with all of those backstage politics and constant mind numbing stupid decisions, I'd need every other year off too. Course TNA is the same way.

Because the road schdule blows?

400k downside is almost double what he's getting now, with other money he'd likely pull close to 700k he'd be a complete moron to not take that.

Who owns the Rob Van Dam monicker trademark? Is this a case like the Dudley Boys where ECW actually owned the trademark or does Rob own it or used it before ECW? I assume Rob owns it as he is pretty smart about things, however I also assumed that Bubba and D'Von would have owned their respective trademarks.

Yeah, six months ago I would've been rallying for RVD to jump to TNA, but they seem to be in such a slump right now, and he'd probably get wasted under Russo and Co. Sounds like it would be best for him to stick with the E.

 

That's exactly how I feel right now also. That could change by the time his contract ends, but for now I agree.

 

If RVD sticks around, I could see them stretching out The New Breed vs. The Originals feud and play up a big injury angle for RVD. All the while I could see them also stretching out the CM Punk angle, and he only decides to finally join up with The Originals after RVD gets taken out at the end of his contract. RVD returns, and we could have a very hot feud waiting for him after his few months off.

Fairly sure that he used the name prior to ECW (wasn't he forced to be Robbie V because Watts didn't like the idea of playing to the similar looks with Van Damme?). RVD might be owned by WWE, though.

Well I'm glad that RVD might stay in WWE instead of going to TNA, management and the majority of the fans know that the guy is a draw and a leave of absence will be a good opportunity for him to rest and for CM Punk to get over as the #1 ECW top guy (everybody knows that Lashley is #3 next to RVD and Punk).

I'm glad about that too but I am not so sure that Punk will get over as the #1 ECW top guy because he's in a midcard position

Okay what exactly is the deal with PPV's now - are they complately cross brand or for example will ONS be predominantly an ECW PPV with a few cross brand sweetners? It looks like it's going to be Lashley vs McMahon feuding, though McMahon will keep throwing wrestlers at Lashley sorta deal, not actually wrestling him. That being said, Lashley doesn't capture my interest enough to sell any PPV for me that he main events. The only wrestler I'd probably pay to see wrestle Lashley at this time would be Chris Benoit.

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

The PPVs will feature the "Big 9" superstars and their feuds and occassionally other interpromotional matches. Meltz listed the "Big 9".

 

From who I can remember:

 

Cena

HBK

Edge

Orton

Taker

Batista

Lashley

Rey

 

So there is someone I'm forgetting.

WWE The Music Volume 7

 

The Great

 

#3 TOP PICK --- Duece & Domino's theme is AWESOME. Really well sung, music is very good, a perfect fit for their characters, explained in the lyrics.

The Miz's theme, much like the underrated heel, is greatness.

#2 TOP PICK --- "Light a Fire" for Ashley. She sucks. She can't work. The song, however, does work, and it's a shame she got it and not, say, Mickie James.

Finlay. He'll fight you if you disagree. Beautiful sound.

Rob Conway. JUST LOOK AT ME. Worthless theme now, I guess, but such an odd and annoying song. I love it.

#1 TOP PICK --- Elijah Burke. Great song for the New Breed and Burke, the leader of said group. I like it a loy, fits his character well.

The Great Khali. The theme song of the next WM main eventer. Perfect, spooky little song, despite the lack of athletic ability in the big man.

 

 

The Okay

 

Cryme Tyme. I think I'd like this more if WWE remembered the big push they had and kept it going. Just a generic slow rap song.

Gregory Helms. I hate everything about this song except the opening and the chorus. The whiny singing (usually not heard during the entrance) sucks.

Lashley's theme is just there. Like Lashley.

Snitsky's theme is just...okay. You might hate on it even more because of the useless lug who uses it, but it's not the worst thing they've put on CD.

"The End" - Armageddon PPV theme - it's cool to hear the whole song (which was on the "NOW" portion of the WWE Anthology CD). This is a different and longer version, with new instruments.

Striker's theme is loud, kinda generic, but okay.

Mickie James theme is nice but doesn't stand out as anything great to have.

 

The Bad

Marcus Cor Von. I forgot that Marcus Cor Von was The Human Tornado. Oh, he's not? Couldn't tell here.

Michelle McCool's "You're Not Enough for Me". It's the TECHNO ROCK REMIX. With rap lyrix. Great. How many of the WWE "ladies" have used this song? Bad song, bad fit for whatever McCool's character is supposed to be.

Muy Loco. This, like Super Crazy's "mexican fat guy" character, sucks. Just like the Mexicools, too.

Highlanders theme. Yeah, sit through this playing in your car.

Jimmy Waynn Yang. As awful as his cowboy character.

Ron Simmons new "Damn" theme, it's a re-mixed APA song with "Damn" in it. Yeah.

 

Kozlov's song is okay, sounds good and all, just can't place it to him.

Bryan Alvarez at the Figure Four Newsletter is reporting that at WM, Ashley Massaro was visibly in tears in the ring and started crying uncontrollably after getting backstage after her match with Melina. Ashley knew it was a horrible match and felt really bad about it.

It wasn't the trainwreck certain women's matches have been, though. I thought her crying was a nice touch that she lost at WrestleMania in her first title shot.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Well to Ashley's credit, I don't think there's anything she could have done to make it better.

In the end, Ottman had the last laugh. The Shockmaster character survived its shaky beginnings and went to be a part of some of WCW biggest matches of the mid ‘90s.

I recall Christy Hemme doing the same thing after WM21

Carlito is said to have 'nuclear heat' on him backstage following THAT interview. The initial reaction was to send him on a permanent vacation to Heat and let him fade away and even Carlito expected to be fired. They probably won't let him go but they certainly scared him off of saying much in future interviews.

 

The Miz was also paranoid about being fired last week. Apparently, someone backstage convinced him to do a major rib on JBL, who already hates Miz and has a well-known reputation as a bully. No more details about this one yet.

Am I seeing things or is that... Bobby Lashley AND Marcus Cor Von? Kinda like the Invasion Poster.

 

Oh and yeah, my first post.

I don't know, but that's an awesome spot.

What interview?

http://www.edmontonsun.com/Sports/OtherSpo...879489-sun.html

While many of WWE's superstars are trading punch for punch, kick for kick, headlock for headlock and table for table at tomorrow night's Wrestlemania, Carlito will be backstage watching, unhappy to be on the sidelines.

 

"I'm out of Wrestlemania," he says. "Apparently, they had to make space for Kane vs. Khali and Melina vs. Ashley. How can I be at Wrestlemania? If I politic and kiss ass, I should make it.

 

"I'm not going to cry or be bitter, there's always next year ... and I don't want to get fired. But they're showing disrespect by not having Ric Flair at Wrestlemania and even more disrespect by not having Carlito there."

 

He doesn't like the role he has been given, that of a fan favourite, saying, "I absolutely hate being a babyface more than anything else."

Actually there ISN'T a CD coming out. It's all online, which is the point of everything above.
