Human Fly Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Is Lillian Garcia gone? Have not seen her for a while.
cd213 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Reasons Why Daivari & Estrada Were Pulled From WWE TV Written by Richard Gray on Jun 4, 2007 - 1:56:30 PM Source: Pro Wrestling Torch Newsletter The reason WWE pulled Daivari from his heel speaking role is because the company is becoming more sensitive to accusations that they are exploiting the war in Iraq or terrorist threats in general. Daivari, who is deemed fearless backstage, didn't care to push the envelope and never asked the writers to tone anything down. However, WWE television network affiliates have voiced their displeasure with the character, promoting its removal. Speaking of controversial mouthpieces, Armando Estrada has not been seen with Umaga as of late because the McMahons felt that they had one people too many out to ringside with their wrecking crew. Some readers had thought that maybe Estrada was feeling some backstage heat, however, that is not the case and he will return with Umaga once he is finished as Vince McMahon's henchman Which is funny since I read that in OVW they are trying to push an Iraqi tag team.

Cheech Tremendous Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 What is the biggest dream match in WWE today ? IMO, I think it is : John Cena vs Batista They both were pushed to World Champion status at the same time, they have incredible charisma and popularity, they are talented workers, they can work the mic, etc. It would be a main event of amazing proportion ! It took him two years to post THAT?
RepoMan Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 I'm guessing someone registered two years ago, decided to create a new account, and just realized that they still had that account for a gimmic.
Lil' Bitch Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 Batista Vs. Kennedy The Great American Bash 2006 or Royal Rumble 2007? What was the better match and why?
AntiLeaf33 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 Batista Vs. Kennedy The Great American Bash 2006 or Royal Rumble 2007? What was the better match and why? I perferred the Rumble match. Kennedy was in control of pretty much the entire match. I wasn't really a fan of either finish
cabbageboy Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 What does it say when I don't remember the GAB 06 match hardly at all? Was that the match where Batista creamed Kennedy with a chair and Kennedy did hardway bleeding on the top of his head?
AntiLeaf33 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 What does it say when I don't remember the GAB 06 match hardly at all? Was that the match where Batista creamed Kennedy with a chair and Kennedy did hardway bleeding on the top of his head? Did he do it with a chair, or was it a shot off the post? Either way it was the match where Batista wouldn't stop beating on Kennedy and go himself DQed. Either way Kennedy had a nasty gash on his head and bled like a motherfucker.

Jingus Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 So... does anyone else utterly hate Great Khali the way I do? Can't wrestle, can't bump, can't talk, always looks green, and killed a guy in-ring. I don't get the point. He's only 2 inches taller than Big Show and Andre, but can't do any of the cool stuff they could. I understand that wrestling is a highly subjective media/artform in which everyone has their own separate opinions. As a Libra, I pride myself on being able to comprehend the mindsets and motivations of those different from me. That being said, I just don't fucking get anyone who likes this big goof. You like Cena, Punk, or Orton? I don't agree, but I understand the argument. You hate Undertaker, Carlito, or RVD? I don't agree, but I understand. But... frigging Giant Singh? To me, these statements are all analogous: "Feces is the tastiest topping for a sandwich." "I really hope they don't catch Osama Bin Laden." "Lindsey Lohan is way hotter now than she used to be." "The least funny comedian ever? Richard Pryor." "Jingus sure is a quiet, humble, and non-opinionated poster." "I wish they'd repeal the Constitution so GWB could be elected for a third term." "Aliens Vs. Predator was the best movie ever." "Man, I really enjoy the Great Khali's matches."
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Khali has 'something'. I know he's not amazing, I know he can't do shit, but for some reason he seems mean, aggressive and a monster. Paul Wight didn't seem to have that quality for me, even when they pushed him that way. Perhaps it was the mishap booking of his character monster one moment, face the next, it devalued him over time.
Bruiser_Brody_ Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Watching some El Gigante from WCW and he got a really big pop. Plus I stumbled upon a Scott Steiner vs Ric Flair match from 1990 (not the clash bout) Scott pins Flair 1-2-3
haVoc Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 I can't wait to hear the stories about Kenny and Nitro getting in fights backstage because their girlfriends hate each other.
Mike wanna be Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 New Hollywood Blondes, right there. Kenny even did the Stunning Steve rolling camera taunt on RAW.

Perhaps it was the mishap booking of his character monster one moment, face the next, it devalued him over time. I see where you're coming from here. When Big Show came out, I thought he was beatable on any night. When Khali comes out though, the WWE had used him well enough to make me think the moment his music starts up, whoever in the ring is royally fucked. He just has a wicked heel monster aura about him. He doesn't look like most big men either. He's really well built for a guy his size.
TheFranchise Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 New Hollywood Blondes, right there. Kenny even did the Stunning Steve rolling camera taunt on RAW. Funny you should say that, when Lance Cade came out sporting his latest makeover, he looked a double for a Stunning Steve.

He doesn't look like most big men either. He's really well built for a guy his size. That's all due to the booker, not the wrestler. Big Show was turned face/heel at least twice a year for his entire career, and got pinned pretty often. Khali has (til recently) been presented as nothing but an unstoppable monster. But, "aggressive"? He's really slow, his offense looks like shit, and personally I think he often looks nervous, confused, or unsure of himself.
fazzle Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Khali's "something" has to do with the fact that he's giant tall AND jacked. Big Show and Andre were just fucking fat.

He doesn't look like most big men either. He's really well built for a guy his size. They did the same thing when Kane first came, and 1000 times better. The whole unbeatable big guy is rather overplayed, and I really don't dig it. If Khali were somewhat mobile and not just some huge clutz, I don't think I'd mind him as much. Kane was a much better bad ass freak of nature back in the day than Khali ever will be.
RonL21 Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 to be fair..Paul Wight was rather lean and agile in his Giant days in WCW...
Downhome Posted June 7, 2007 Report Posted June 7, 2007 Andre was a lot different earlier in his career as well. It's too bad that when most people think of Andre, they only think of the guy from WMIII and on.
garfieldsnose Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I thought everyone knew Khali didn't kill the guy in the ring.... It's just some bullshit rumor someone started to make people hate him. It was the dude who he was working with's fault...not Khali's. Maybe if you looked it up instead of being so gullible, you'd see.
TheFranchise Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 Yeah, as Zio just said, if you don't believe his words, simply watch the video.
Toxxic Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I don't enjoy Khali's matches, but they've used him well up until meeting Cena. He's slow, lumbering and pretty damn boring, but he's visually impressive and covers for the fact that he can't bump by simply not bumping. Does this make for interesting matches? No. Does it make him look like a total badass? Yes. Until of course he meets my favourite wrestler of all time John Cena. Now, if he'd taken Cena out and won the title, held it for a few months while casually destroying all challengers and then finally lost it to Cena in a rematch, that would be one thing. Jobbing him out doesn't really achieve much, I don't think.

Jobbing him out doesn't really achieve much, I don't think. Exactly. Gotta hate the way WWE builds up monsters for a year or so and just when they become believable monsters, jobbing to my favourite wrestler of all time John Cena screws them up and they become Vince's "personal enforcers", jobbing to whoever Vince feuds with :/
Mike wanna be Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I hope Cena blows out his knee, just to see the mad scramble to figure out what the fuck they're going to do. Does this make me a bitter person or a bad person?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I hope Cena blows out his knee, just to see the mad scramble to figure out what the fuck they're going to do. Does this make me a bitter person or a bad person? Cena might blow out his knee just in time for HHH to come back.. or, if not.. Vince names himself the Champion.
Mike wanna be Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 And that's when the fun begins! It'll be a vicious cycle. Each champion goes down, and another guy who's not-quite-ready steps in to an enormous workload with massive expectations and horrible workers for opponents.
