Lord of The Curry Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 But what would half of the Smackdown Velocity roster use?
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 But what would half of the Smackdown Velocity roster use? Don't be silly, those guys don't even have finishers...
Guest Coffey Posted April 6, 2006 Report Posted April 6, 2006 Maybe I'm just pessimistic but when it was announced as Shane & Vince against HBK & God, I just assumed that was the McMahon's way of saying it was a handicap match. As in "I hope your faith in God is good because you're all alone." Don't be silly, those guys don't even have finishers...Sure they do: lookin' at the lights.
haVoc Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Someone explain to me how Carlito was the one who turned face on Raw. It didn't come across that way to me. When I saw it I thought, "Great, just what the world needs. The super Chris Masters face push." Carlito attacked Masters from behind for costing them the match accidently the night before. Isn't that a classic heel move?

Isn't that a classic heel move? Because people don't care about right or wrong anymore. They cheer who's hip and cool (no pun intended) and Masters is pretty much anti-cool compared to Carlito.

Isn't that a classic heel move? It would be a face turn for Masters, perhaps, if Masters were even remotely likeable in any way. As it stands I can't even begin to imagine the guy as a face.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 What we think and what WWE thinks are two very different things.

Isn't that a classic heel move? It would be a face turn for Masters, perhaps, if Masters were even remotely likeable in any way. As it stands I can't even begin to imagine the guy as a face. The problem is Carlito's not likeable either. Yes, he's the lesser of two evils in this situation, but there's no reason to turn him face. It's not like the fans have been chanting his name, buying his merchandise in spades, bringing their own apples to show their support, or even reacting to his matches.
claydude14 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I dunno about you but I always see tons of Carlito merch in the crowds, and he seems to get sizable face pops depending on the city.
Enigma Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 Maybe if Carlito starts spitting his apples in heel's faces, he'll get over somewhat. Although he's going to have to become more spotty in the ring for the fans to take to him. But knowing WWE, they'll can his whole apple gimmick.

MillenniumMan831 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Posted April 7, 2006 I really do wanna like Edge. I really do wanna be mad at HHH for making Edge look like his personal nugget, but as I've said a million times before, until Edge ditches the spear from his moveset, I'll never weep for seeing him plunger back to the midcard. He doesn't need to drop the spear, he just needs a real finisher and that inverted DDT type thing he use to do isn't going to cut it. Problem is he's tall but not strong enough to pull off a power finisher and too tall and lanky to make a submission move look real. He needs to find something that will look believable and I'm sure this isn't new information to Edge. That's fair enough. If Edge used the spear to turn the tide in a match or to take control, I'd be fine w/ that. That submission move he was using in early 2005 was pretty badass.

I've been in this same boat for a long time now. He needs to adjust his offense, though, and start incorperating working on the opponents leg into his match psychology.
The Buzz Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I don't know if anyone saw the WWE site earlier, but The Ultimate Warrior edged out Owen Hart, Bruno Sammartino, and Macho Man in some poll on WWE Mobile Alert as to who should be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. here is the url if anyone is interested. http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/halloffamepoll
k thx Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Having watched SD for the first time in a while, I've got to say that Johnny Nitro is pushing Ken Doane for a place as my favorite wretler in WWE. That elbow over the rope and the breakdancing leg-drop? Gold! Plus, he's got a great look. The guy just looks like he's born to be a star. Although, maybe that's just next to Mercury. I also loved the interaction between Benoit and Albright. If Benoit get's behind him and tries to elevate him, then Albright may well get over in the same way he did.
Team Angle Pusher Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Nitro looks like Edge to me. Skinny, he hops around in the ring, athletic etc...
k thx Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Went from a Tag Team to a singles push. I think Nitro is more marketable than Edge. He's got more of a "star" look.
Team Angle Pusher Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Finlay/Benoit in KOTR tournament, woot!
CBright7831 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 I was wondering how they were going to do this graphic:
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 How come God gets second billing next to Shawn Michaels? And Vince wonders why Sting won't work with the WWE.
Scroby Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 How come God gets second billing next to Shawn Michaels? And Vince wonders why Sting won't work with the WWE. Because HBK is homegrown talent. Whe else?
Hawk 34 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 How come God gets second billing next to Shawn Michaels? And Vince wonders why Sting won't work with the WWE. Because HBK is homegrown talent. Whe else? Yeah, Shawn who was a AWA product is a WWE homegrown talent.
bob_barron Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 And Vince wonders why Sting won't work with the WWE. No, he doesn't.
buffybeast Posted April 8, 2006 Report Posted April 8, 2006 Anyone have any ideas on where this Booker versus Boogeyman feud is going? I don't get it. Boogey squashes Booker at WM and they are still dragging this feud out. For what?

Downhome Posted April 9, 2006 Report Posted April 9, 2006 I was looking over a review of the 2006 Royal Rumble DVD, and I'd now like one of you to please explain this extra: Rob Van Dam And Tatanka Smoke A Peace Pipe :huh:
