ChrisMWaters Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 I wasn't blaming an Internet Favorite. I was blaming the guy that was the current champion.

Dobbs 3K Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 How about maybe they should just wake up and realize that a horribly uncompelling and boring show isn't going to draw a good rating?
ChrisMWaters Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 How about maybe they should just wake up and realize that a horribly uncompelling and boring show isn't going to draw a good rating? Of course they SHOULD do that. BUt the thing is, WILL they?
The Truthiness Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 The last 2 weeks have been awful, no need to panic.
garfieldsnose Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Yeah, seriously. This summer was pretty good, and now you're all back to bitching, thinking it's the end of the world. You're not going to get a good product week after week, so deal with it. This summer had great shows that drew poor ratings. Stop crying.
DCH Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 RE: The trips won't let that happen comment. I meant I was thinking that trips would most likely take the SS match spot. i later realised that since he has the strap he most likely won't. but at that time the idea of a bunch of midcarders(I would assume so through the way they are treated), wouldn't get the SS match over one of the most powerful men in the company. he's not a devil or anything, but seeing as those men aren't exactly ME people (Punk when he was champion used to appear midshow, rarely in ME spot). So that was my thought at the time. Now I realise that Trips probably won't be in the SS match as he'll defend the strap. My bad for the comment.
Boner Kawanger Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Ted DiBiase Jr. needs to bring back the seasonal residence gimmick.
Angles Broken Fricken Neck Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 is vince still selling the "im dead" storyline following the 1million dollar give away? i havnt kept up with anything substancial in ages.
Boner Kawanger Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 He pretty much hasn't been seen since.
cabbageboy Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 I echo the DiBiase remarks. He shows promise but he's such a vanilla, bland wrestler right now that is no different from a dozen other guys. Why not go with a variation of the Million Dollar Man gimmick, with him as a spoiled brat. Have him throw money around, use the seasonal residence gimmick, give him a manservant, drive around in sports cars.
Enigma Posted October 22, 2008 Report Posted October 22, 2008 Marty Jannetty pulled the HBK blog off his MySpace a few hours after he posted it. WWE.Com has done a "Where Are They Now?" feature on Barry Horowitz.
DrVenkman PhD Posted October 23, 2008 Author Report Posted October 23, 2008 I'm a bit on the fence with Cyber Sunday. I enjoy shows where people vote on things, and Cogeco is STILL listing the price for the SD feed as $34.99 (so I'll feel like I need to take advantage of this error), and who isn't psyched for the costume contest (I believe they announced Kelly Kelly was dressing as Sailor Moon, if I heard Lawler correctly)? Still, I don't like the idea of watching something in standard definition in 4:3 if an HD feed is available (but with the $5 mystery discount, it's now $15 more - that's kind of a rip off) and nothing on the card seems all that exciting. I'm most looking forward to a comedy match!
cabbageboy Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 That costume contest will be aces if Katie Lea busts out her OVW costume and dresses up as Catwoman. Meow!
The Truthiness Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 If a movie was being made about Vince, what actor could pull it off?
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 James Woods, all the way.

Have him throw money around, use the seasonal residence gimmick, give him a manservant, drive around in sports cars. You know what would be perfect? Randy Orton gets voted in over Stone Cold and HBK, defying all logic. The announcers say this is the first time Shawn has lost a fan vote at Cyber Sunday. Whatever the result, Orton, Priceless, and Manu beat down Batista to end the show. Then they reveal the next night on Raw that although it cost thousands of dollars in texts, DiBiase was easily able to buy enough votes for Randy so that they could wreak havoc.

I'm sorry, but my phone bill costs enough without having to add in text messaging fees, plus $.99 per vote just for something that's probably rigged anyway. I voted for a no holds barred match, but I dare anyone to say the Undertaker vs Big Show match won't end up being a knockout match.
The Truthiness Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I have texted for every match. Back to this actor that could play Vince thing. How about Travolta?

LivingLegendGaryColeman Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 I'm going to Cyber Sunday and I still don't want to pay $1 a vote. There's certain things I want to see, but nothing on the card screams I have to vote. I am tempted to vote for Evan Bourne because a Bourne/Hardy match could really pick up the show, but Cyber Sunday it doesn't matter what gets voted in, they will still incorporate who and what they want to (see Kane/Snitsky in 04, when the finish involved the gimmick they were pushing, not the gimmick that won)
Silence Posted October 23, 2008 Report Posted October 23, 2008 Kane/Snitsky in 04, when the finish involved the gimmick they were pushing, not the gimmick that won) What a shitty feud that was.

That was the Rumble, and the fans had no say in who got in to the Rumble.
RepoMan Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 I figure WWE ends up kayfabing the vote so they can plan ahead, making the whole text thing a way to ripoff the marks.
Enigma Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 I am watching the World Series and they just aired a commercial for a celebrity edition of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? The last celebrity advertised was "WWE's Goldberg!" Oops.
RepoMan Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 According to Fox, "WWE's Goldberg" is going to be on Are Your Smarter than a 5th Grader.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 24, 2008 Report Posted October 24, 2008 Watching the World Series and they just ran an ad for Smarter than a 5th Grader and they've got "WWE's Goldberg" on a new episode tomorrow night. Hmm
