WWE General Discussion - October 2007

[Guest Ant]

Its not that i think there bad people. Its just they have come so far and Vaine has appeared on SD past 2 weeks and she was going to make it..then she just quit.

[Atticus Chaos 0]

I think they could have waited a month or so and see what happened. They might have put O'reilly on ecw or smackdown or sent Vaine to raw. I doubt their placing on Raw and Smackdown would have been long term.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

--Apparently they are trying to redo the Jackass angle originally set for SummerSlam at the Royal Rumble in January. WWE is setting up some promotions that includes Jackass superstars involved.

 

If they get put in the Rumble match, at least we might get some crazy bumps out of it.

[Black Lushus 0]

i hope they're not taking actual superstar spots, though.

[Hawk 34 0]

I could see them "invading" the match and getting thrown around by whichever big man is getting a monster push.

[Guest Ant]

Wheres the source of this news?

[Black Lushus 0]

he doesn't post stuff without a source, new guy...he has one, he just didnt feel like mentioning it.

[Guest Ant]

Ah sorry. Just wanted to know .

[Black Lushus 0]

usually it's Meltzer, just to answer your question.

[Mecca 0]

I love Krissy Vaine but she is an assclown for doing that. She knew from the beginning one could get called up without the other. Hell Punk and Maria are doing ok, Kristal and Lashley are.

 

Mickie James and Kenny Dykstra are too as far as I know. None of those couples are less valid because they didn't commit hara-kiri to their WWE careers.

 

Wrestlers who want to maintain both their professional and personal lives do what it takes to balance things out. O'Reilly and Vaine aren't necessarily bad people, it just doesn't seem like wrestling is a high priority for them at the moment. It is what it is.

 

They're going to get eye rolling and looks because they just threw away chances tons of other people would kill to have.

So anyone think there might be a match at Cyber Sunday involving Booker T or Ric Flair?

 

Hell, maybe they should have Undertaker face any former WCW Superstar:

 

a) Booker T

b) Ric Flair

c) Chavo Guerrero

Why? Will they have "What former AWA wrestler should face Snitsky"

 

 

[Guest Ant]

Isnt Taker "confirmed" to be in a 4 way with Finaly, Rey and Batista?

[Boxer 0]

I friend of mine that has regular contact with Hugo Savinovich told me that everything points to the return of Y2J, but get this: he might return just as "Jericho", since now the name "Chris" seems to be completely forbidden in WWE.

 

So I guess when Christian returns to the WWE he'll be call "Tian" ????

 

Although I must add, have you heard the latest on this? To be called Jericho only, well, it's kinda boring. Chris Benoit................. er.................... Jericho lives forever!

[Mike wanna be 0]

From Gerweck, because I'm boycotting PWInsider:

- John Morrison sat out 28 days as part of his 30-day suspension. He worked the 9/1 show, and then returned at the 9/29 house show in Peoria.

 

- Prior to returning to Raw this week, Shawn Michaels was telling friends that he was burned out on the road, and enjoying life at home. He also said he'd only return with a limited schedule.

 

- Former Spirit Squad member Johnny Jeter is heading to ECW as a regular.

 

- Speaking of ECW regulars, Elijah Burke missed the Springfield, IL house show because he drove to Springfield, MO. Oops. As a result, Burke was not paid for his no show.

[Canadian Brandon 0]

Great news that Jeter is gonna be a full time superstar. And the title looks soooo much better now that it doesn't spin.

[The Buzz 0]

That would be pretty much the most embarassing thing to happen to a wrestler. Driving to the wrong town that is. Especially when you are an expendable entity in the grand scheme of things like Burke who at this moment appears to be below Tommy Dreamer and Kevin Thorne in ECW.

[cabbageboy 0]

I think I remember hearing that RVD drove the wrong way for some TX house show last year. He ended up somewhere in OK instead. Of course this is RVD we're talking about here, so who knows what stuff he was on at the time.

If they can manage to replicate the crazy bump that Taka (I think) took in 2000 then it would all be worth while.

 

 

Well, maybe not, but at least it would have SOME entertainment factor to it.

Could be a problem there too if it causes confusion with the television show. I'd think that WWE should be happy to have the Chris name associated with someone who isn't that other guy.

 

[Matt Young 0]

Supposedly Nick Dinsmore is the new head trainer of OVW.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

Johnny Jeter is a good choice to head to ECW in that he can pull off a face character - something the ecw roster desperately needs. While he was a heel in the Spirit Squad he played an effective top babyface for a run in OVW.

 

Krissey Vaine and Ryan O'Reilly are morons. She isn't the first to be overwhelmed with travel and quit, however she's been on the road for what a whole two weeks tops? And I don't think O'Reilly would have ended up debuting on Raw, they just don't have room for debuting rookies. I'm wondering if the crazy kids have something in the works with TNA.

[cabbageboy 0]

I don't recall Jeter really being around in OVW much when he was in the Spirit Squad. Before that he was an ultra douchebag heel feuding with Matt Cappotelli. He might be able to play face, but he seems more comfortable as a heel.

I don't know. Guys can get confused and burned out pretty easily on a touring schedule like that. I know a guy who was an enhancement talent for WWF in the late '80s, when the schedule was way worse (three different tours, two shows a night, etc). He told me a story about being in a hotel one time, going down to the front desk, and asking the attendant "Where am I?" The person said "The Hyatt (or whatever)", and he said "No, I mean, what city am I in?"

From PWInsider.com:

 

We are still waiting for more details, but the word going around today is that Teddy Hart and World Wrestling Entertainment have parted ways. No idea of what caused Hart's departure yet, but it appears the entire planned Second Generation Hart Foundation angle has likely been scrapped as well.

 

The controversial and charismatic Hart signed a developmental deal several months ago and was competing in Florida Championship Wrestling as late as earlier this week with Hart, Nattie Neidhart, Harry Smith and Ted DiBiase Jr. as the new Hart Foundation. The new Harts had been expected to join the main WWE roster later this Fall.

 

[Black Lushus 0]

whatta dumb fuck.

 

Is there a reason why TJ Wilson isn't involved in this stable? He has more connections to the Harts than Teddy Jr.

[Obi Chris Kenobi 0]

I hope this is bullshit, otherwise its another 'decent' WWE storyline ruined by something stupid.

[Hawk 34 0]

I'm shocked he even lasted this long. Time to go back to no-showing JAPW shows, Teddy. That's twice he blew a chance. Poor Harry has been waiting for years and now he'll probably be stuck in Florida for awhile unless they decide to introduce him as a solo star or finally reunite him with TJ or have a futures stable with other names like Dibiase Jr and others in the business with a name.

 

 

[haws bah gawd 0]

Fuck you Teddy Hart. I wanted to him get called-up SO bad. He might be a complete asshole, but his matches entertain the hell out of me. Have fun working the indy's for eternity, prick.

[Hawk 34 0]

The issue is that what Teddy is capable of doing (outside of being a giant moron and no-showing dumbass) can be done by any number of indy talent out there. WWE picked up Matt Sydal. Call him Matt Hart and be done with it. Hell, just make up a story about Sydal being Dynamite's kid and do a Bulldogs 2.0 gimmick.
