haVoc 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 There is talk that Todd Grisham will take over for Michael Cole as lead Smackdown announcer when he switches to Raw once JR retires. Vince is finally happy with Joey Styles commentary but he isn't even being considered for the job. Is JR retiring or is he being pushed out once again?

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 It would make certain sense that Miz would be behind the Kristal/Long storyline right now as didn't Miz and Kristal pair up previously on programming in a program with Boogeyman? Long gets forced out by a harassment claim from Kristal, and you have dickish heel Miz the new GM and mastermind. I don't know why Vince has a hard-on to get rid of Jim Ross. This was taken from a Slam article reguarding MVP, sorry if this is well known - And you'd never, ever peg him as a criminal -- a guy who was arrested for robbery at age 16, serving 9-1/2 years of an 18-year sentence. I guess those really are prison tat's that the bodysuit is hiding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banter 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 Pre-WWE/plastic surgery Candice Michelle's episode of the Playboy channel's "Sexy Girls Next Door" was just on. I believe the epsiode was from '00 or '01 (she said she was 22). She actually looked good and was very sexy. The general idea of the show is that three Playboy representatives select three girls (based on nude home videos they submitted) to come to L.A., get makeovers and shoot some photos. In the end they pick one girl to make a softcore solo video. The Playboy rep's were pretty high on Candice but she lost out to Amy Miller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2GOLD 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 Wait, I'm confused. They didn't want Burchill to do a pirate gimmick because it was too much like the Jack Sparrow character. But they are willing to make a Harry Potter character? So it's ok to parody British fantasy book writers but not ok to parody Disney? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 I thought they got rid of Pirate Birchill because Vinny-mac didn't understand the style pirate Birchill was playing, having never seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie(s).

Check out youtube, there's a guy with the name "Mrshootinterviewv2" he has ones up with mysterio, simmons and christian.......

That IS why "The Blonde Bytch Project" was pulled. That is the reason why the Birchill as a pirate got pulled. Vince wanted it like Pierre La umm Lafettye (sp?) but Birchill did sorta as Jack Sparrow and Vince had no clue who Jack Sparrow was because he never saw any of the pirates movies. So in all likely hood, the same thing will happen with the Harry Potter gimmick, if it does happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2007 Once you've posed nekkid, wwe has got everything they wanted out of you and it's time for fresh meat. Truth be told they'd probably want Torrie to leave, but she's too entrenched and accpeted in the lockerroom that they just can't dump her on the side of the road and drive off. You get models who have no love for the business, pimp them out as Diva's get one or two to pose nekkid and then fire them or have them quit and move on to the next pretty face. Diva's stick around too long and earn respect in the lockerroom and the booking crew is stuck with them. And once you've seen them in a handful of bra and panties matches, let alone their their naughty bits if they go the Playboy route, they really are not nearly as marketable anymore. I think Christie Hemme scared the office by desiring to learn to wrestle. They already got her naked, they didn't want her sticking around. This is also why I think they don't promote the OVW/DSW Diva's all that much, while not all are model quality, they are pretty hardcore fans and dedicated to the business and are probably less likely to want to pose nakid, and more likley to earn the respect of the lockerroom and be tougher to get rid of once they are used and abused.
