benn Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Don't get me started on that. At SummerSlam the only titles defended were the WWE/World/ECW championships.
EdwardKnoxII Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 Don't get me started on that. At SummerSlam the only titles defended were the WWE/World/ECW championships. Hell the IC belt hasn't been defend at a WM since X8 back in 2002
LJSexay Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 and that is pretty telling about the current way titles are represented. It would take a long look back at the IC title's history to see where it began to look... like less.
The Amazing Rando Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 It's been discussed. Around the time it was passed around like candy during the JJ/Chyna/Road Dogg months until guys like Jericho, Angle, and Benoit got their hands on it in 2000... since it's ressurection a few years ago it's basically been horrible.
TheFranchise Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 I wonder if the dragon in that poster is supposed to be a reference to Batista's back tattoo as well as the whole King Booker medieval fairy tale thing. I'm sure it's just supposed to be a symbolisation of 'slaying the dragon'.

Guest Oblivious Heel Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 And you like that type of thing?
benoit4hor Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 It helps, since like, he is a Wrestler. Wait, nevermind I take that back, Cena's not a wrestler.
Taker666 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 - Cena's body looks like its made out of clay -The No Mercy poster is officially my favorite wrestling poster so far.
FroGG_NeaL Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 I wonder if the dragon in that poster is supposed to be a reference to Batista's back tattoo as well as the whole King Booker medieval fairy tale thing. I'm sure it's just supposed to be a symbolisation of 'slaying the dragon'. You guys are giving way too much credit to the WWE here.
Vampiro69 Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 It helps, since like, he is a Wrestler. Wait, nevermind I take that back, Cena's not a wrestler. With a line like that how are you not a standup comedian?

BUTT Posted August 25, 2006 Report Posted August 25, 2006 I just got the new Observer. I'm sure HTQ will have detailed notes up soon, but this one can't wait. Apparently Vince has demanded that the word "belt" not be used on WWE, OVW, and DSW television, because it's too "old-time wrestling" for him. That was the same reason why Ken Anderson was changed to Ken Kennedy, because "Anderson" is too "old-school".

USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 I thought the word "belt" was banned from the announcers' lexicon long time ago, when it was decreed they be called Superstars instead of wrestlers?
The Amazing Rando Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 I hope that means that Hogan now wears a "weightlifting girdle"
Guest Oblivious Heel Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 I hope Vince's father is looking "down" in disappointment.
Danville_Wrestling Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Better question: who the hell cares about the word "belt" being stripped from the wrestling lexicon? Like the average fan isn't going to care and be all "wrestling isn't cool because they called that a belt!"
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Because to formally ban words like: belt/strap feud shot (as in title shots) pro wrestling pro wrestler is quite retarded in itself.
The Amazing Rando Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 well apparently they banned the word "creative" years ago.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 And actually in a twisted way, I can get WWE not wanting to associate the title with the public definition of a "belt". They probably wanted to make the title mean more than that, but that brings the question of how they keep ruining the credibility of said titles, but thats another story.
benn Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Referring to it as a championship belt doesn't do nearly as much damage as giving it second billing behind a pointless, stale and ridiculously drawn-out feud that is half made up of non-wrestlers.
Guest workratemark Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 well apparently they banned the word "creative" years ago. you hit the nail right on the head. They should call themselves world wrestling garbage instead.
Jebus Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Mr. Kennedy hates myspace.com http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/sup.../kennedymyspace
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Mr. Kennedy hates myspace.com http://www.wwe.com/content/media/video/sup.../kennedymyspace That shit actually had me laughin. But I wonder why he put so much emphasis on "myspace.com" instead of just "myspace"...
Scroby Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 So instead of saying belt, the annoucers will just call it a strap.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted August 26, 2006 Report Posted August 26, 2006 Because to formally ban words like: belt/strap feud shot (as in title shots) pro wrestling pro wrestler is quite retarded in itself.
TheFranchise Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 Parents basement.. At least he's towing the company line.
Mike wanna be Posted August 27, 2006 Report Posted August 27, 2006 I thought they changed from Anderson to Kennedy because of some Matrix copyright on "Mr. Anderson"...
