WWE General Discussion - December 2008

[Broward83 0]

From what I've read, Shawn works a very reduced house show schedule.

 

I only remember because there was something mentioned on one of the "sites" about WWE having internal talks about getting Kurt back into the WWE and putting him on a schedule a lot like Shawn's..

[haws bah gawd 0]

Does Kurt still have his painkiller problems, or has he cleaned himself up? I'd love to see him back. I'd like to see what he can do with some of WWE's new guys.

[The Truthiness 0]

It was bullshit.

[Thanks for the Fish 0]

Thank you Prichard (if true) because that storyline is shit.

[The Truthiness 0]

Exactly.

[foleyfanforever88 0]

I don't care what the storyline is, as long as that match takes place at Wrestlemania.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

I don't care what the storyline is, as long as that match takes place at Wrestlemania.

 

And that whoever is scheduled to retire more imminently (may it be Taker or Shawn) loses.

[garfieldsnose 0]

I kinda dig the Bearer return and telling Undertaker it's time to go home. That part rules.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

You know, it would have been awesome to explain if Taker lost at Mania, that he only "lived" for as long as he was undefeated at the biggest stage of them all, and once he loses, he vanishes like a ghost.

[Burning Pirate Ship Sex 0]

I for one, am hearted to know that the secret to Taker's ability to be reborn at Summerslam 94 was his victory over Giant Gonzales at Wrestlemania 9.

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

Hey is Vince Russo back? (old joke) Why did Bruce get fired?

[Enigma 0]

Why are we blacking out things that haven't happened yet and probably won't happen? Stop being paranoid, people.

 

And why is this story even in General Discussion? If there was a subject that needed its own thread, it's this.

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

That 'story' certainly isn't in the latest Observer and I don't think Meltzer has mentioned anything even remotely like it. Far more likely someone made shit up and used the Observer to try and make it seem credible.

Does anyone really believe there's any chance WWE has anything planned out that much in detail for 4 months ahead?

Well, to be fair, they did have the Flair stuff mapped out all the way back to October '07.

When it comes to handling one of their most recognizable stars and a long time locker room veteran/leader's retirement? Yes I'd bet on a long term plan.

Because nobody really gives a fuck, but you it seems.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

It's not blacked out anymore, it never should have been.

 

It's general discussion because it's horse shit.

[Twisted Intestine 0]

unblack this, Dr. Dickman.

I doubt they would have much more planned than "HBK vs. UT. HBK heel (? maybe?)" written up. I don't buy them having long term DETAILED plans.

unblack this, Dr. Dickman.

 

I wasn't doing it with malice

[foleyfanforever88 0]

It would be somewhat hilarious if Undertaker was put in the MITB match at Mania this year, lost, and was never seen again.

 

EDIT (before I even click Add Reply): No it wouldn't.

[The Truthiness 0]

Well it's gone now, thanks HTQ for answering a simple question.

[Enigma 0]

Another thing that should have made it clear that it was bullshit is that trying to "cremate" someone alive probably wouldn't qualify for TV-PG.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

I really hated stuff like Undertaker trying to murder Steve Austin so he could embalm him during the Attitude era. Come on now. I figure if something was bad enough that I hated it in 1998, it must really have sucked.

WWE commentator Michael Cole turns 40 today.

 

Former WWE personality, "The Doctor of Style" Slick, turns 65 today.

I laughed thinking about it. So yes, it is hilarious. Now should they? No.

[Silence 0]

WWE commentator Michael Cole turns 40 today.

 

Older, but still not wiser at commentary.

 

[Aero 0]

Michael Cole has shown on DVDs that when he's not being fed all of his lines through the headset, he's actually a pretty decent commentator on his own. I will say that I liked listening to him much more when he was partnered with Tazz on Smackdown than any of the recent years, though.
