The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2008 WWE spokesman Gary Davis explained the company's goal in inviting HIllary Clinton and Barack Obama to appear on Raw. "What we're trying to do is provide both Senator Clinton and Senator Obama an opportunity to speak to more than eight million viewers of our program... which is the night before the Pennsylvania primary," spokesman Gary Davis told FOXNews.com. "I think the invitation is self-explanatory," continued Davis. "Get into the ring and resolve their differences." The story notes that Davis stated the company is still in talks with both candidates over the proposed match. To read the full story, visit FOXNews.com. prowrestling.net Wow. I will be SHOCKED if they actually show up. They might pick up some votes from people that wouldn't vote in the 1st place. I will laugh if they show up, because they've probably already got Ace Steel in a dress, Colt Cabana in blackface Fixed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 I suppose all of those answers are buried with who moved the briefcase @ KOTR 99 Bossman. He was 'fired' the week or two before that show, and the next night on Raw he was 'hired' back. Probably one of the subtler Russo angles actually. and who was behind GTV. Golddust, as it was originally named GDTV and the first few times it focused on people related to Golddust. He gets canned, it gets switched to GTV and the rest is extremely loopy history. On the other hand, I don't believe anyone was ever outed later on as being behind GTV, so I actually didn't answer your question. My bad. I think one of Headbangers actually ended up being behind GTV. The one that wasn't Chaz... Nah, Thrasher just did it once, to expose Mariana or whoever as having faked the allegations of Chaz beating her. And so then the Headbangers reformed and proceeded to job for the next year, or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fazzle 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 I figure this definitely goes into the random thoughts category. Would anyone else like to see a Rumble with no "qualifying" matches before it? Not just that, but have NONE of the entrants known before the Rumble? Make some kind of storyline where Vince decides that the Rumble will truly be random, and nobody, not even the wrestlers involved in it, knows who's in the match? I think it could EASILY add to the drama every time that the countdown comes up, and it would be an easy way to throw some surprises in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah nice idea, they could have mean Gene picking out names for each number. Would allow for a fresh feel as some wrestlers would get snubed .

Hawk 34 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2008 They didn't do that this year (nor did they do a skit that revealed anyone's entry slot) which was an welcome change. I also ask that no one has to overcome the odds from the heel GM/owner to get a spot. They wouldn't do a completely random Rumble like that because even though the Rumble sells itself, they still need to promote specific people. Naturally, the fans would figure the big names would be included and wouldn't be particularly concerned about which low card act got a spot. Perhaps having a set field of 20 people and those last ten guys to be completely random up to the actual match itself would accomplish both. So you could show a crowd of mid-carders and perhaps even a big name in a group waiting to see if their name comes up in some fashion. That being said, the Rumble doesn't need much fixing, just good action and booking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigma 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2008 I never understood why they started doing qualifying matches anyways. It's a bad idea, because: 1) The matches are so lopsided, you KNOW who's going to win. 2) Some of the people have to win a qualifying match against someone who's already qualified because the quality of talent believable to win the Rumble is so thin.

Apparently he rubbed some the wrong way by doing a lot of comedy before really getting into his speech. Reports also surfaced that The Rock was acting aloof backstage, but apparently those viewpoints came from those jealous with him and/or didn't understand his circumstances. The Rock had to leave to return to filming "Witch Mountain" in Las Vegas the next morning.

bob_barron 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2008 Even though doing the roast idea was approved by Vince McMahon who loved the idea.

BruteSquad_BRODY 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2008 The WWF lies by omission gets people to go see the first Wrestlemania: I got some '85 WONs and some of the stuff that they pulled back then is amazingly carny. In markets where there was only CCTV location, the show was promoted using vague terms as if it was occurring live in that location, with no mention of CCTV. In addition to this, at least one location had a single 44 inch screen in the middle of a 10,000 seat arena. From Bix elsewhere......... AWESOME Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doing a comedy routine...what did they expect? For the Rock to come back and not entertain the fans there? Lets say that Rock didn't do any of his old schtick...I can guarantee that many of the fans wouldn't be going home happy. A lot of the complaints just stem from jealousy that not only is the Rock finding a happy and successful life outside of wrestling, but that he's more over and cared about than just about everyone on the current roster.
