Jingus 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 The live crowd booed the entire proceedings. Hooray for the moral fans in whatever town they're at. 10-Bell Salutes are one thing that should never, never, never, NEVER, NEVER be used for fake storylines. It should only be a tribute to those who have passed away, period. (Remember how Lawler sounded pissed/upset during the 10-bell to Big Show's "dad"? That's why.)

Jingus 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 Not exactly on topic, but amusing nonetheless, from the Wall Street Times: In midday trading, shares of WWE were down 25 cents, or 1.4%, to $17.45. Not exactly the bottom falling out, but a significant loss by stock market standards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Amazing Rando 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 four matches for two hours? is that normal? And why push Flair? I mean, I know they are doing this whole "Batista's friend" thing, but they have a decent mid-card they could be pushing (that is, if it doesn't all get sent to Raw to be buried alive).

Human Fly 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 And why push Flair? I mean, I know they are doing this whole "Batista's friend" thing, but they have a decent mid-card they could be pushing (that is, if it doesn't all get sent to Raw to be buried alive). Sounds like they are just building up Flair to be fed to MVP at Vengeance. This is probably the hottest Flair will ever be on SD so it makes sense to take advantage of it now.

cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 I think Flair vs. MVP can be an interesting feud so I wouldn't just feed Flair to him and drop it. Isn't it interesting that SD gets the awesome Masters, Khali, and Torrie draft picks and none of them apparently are on the show? If they actually try to make people buy into this as a serious angle it will end up as the All Time Wrestlecrap angle. They also will come off like The Boy Who Cried Wolf here when someone really does die and fans are dubious as to whether it's real or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted June 13, 2007 It's Philly. Of course they booed. To fair, they also gave a huge ovation to an obviously ailing Gorilla Monsoon at WM15. Yes, Philly fans can be assholes, but I think they're pretty genuine too. And when they give a 10-bell salute as part of a ridiculous wrestling angle, it's no wonder the Philly fans are going to shit on it. Good for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wondering... ..were you okay with ECW doing a 10 bell salute towards Dreamer's grandfather, then having it interupted by Credible to set up the Dreamer/Credible feud? I'd say that example is a little different, as the crowd at ECW was much smaller and Dreamer's character has always had a strong personal rapport with that audience. The bell ringing went along with his character and the interruption got a lot of heat for Credible. That whole sequence was very well played out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2007 The cruisers usually get a brief spurt of momentum where it's pushed as relevant once a year and I figure it's that time of the year for them. The CW's really peaked during the Mysterio-Chavo period as far as importance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2007 They're just pushing the CW right now so that their night of champions title match has any heat behind it. They really just need to ship Noble to ECW and kill the division. With the handcuffs the CW's are forced to wrestle with, it's not like they're having kick ass matches that you can't see in the ME scene. I'd much rather see Paul London feud with Finlay or Jamie Noble feud with Chris Benoit than see Jimmy Wang Yang vs Chavo Guerrero for the cruiserweight title.

They probably decided not to put them on the Titantron for the live crowd because of the boos, which saved you guys from just how awful they were. Count yourself lucky.
