strummer Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 yes Smackdown was going to be an all diva show built around Sable and Terri Runnels. In fact the company was out scouting female wrestlers to fill up a roster
Angles Broken Fricken Neck Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Wow i wonder what would have been had that plan went through.
Hunter's Torn Quad Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Wow i wonder what would have been had that plan went through. GLOW 2K.
JRE Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 It seems like the WWE is always in a rut after Wrestlemania....just replaying the same feuds that were going into Wrestlemania. I always felt like Wrestlemania main events quickly being repeated at Backlash and Judgement Day kind of cheapened the importance of Wrestlemania. Hopefully the quick draft after Wrestlemania will break this up a bit. ....Oh, and I'm not sure it's been mentioned before. Judging by WWE.com's calendar- One Night Stand is now called "Extreme Rules".
Boner Kawanger Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Wow i wonder what would have been had that plan went through. GLOW 2K. I imagine that the situation would be like when they brought ECW back. It would have retained the format for about a week and a half before they'd panic and run special appearances by main eventers of the era like The Rock and Austin.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Something I just noticed tonight. WWE currently has 17 women on the roster trained to compete regularly (so that excludes Stephanie, Linda, Vickie Guerrero, Lillian Garcia and...Teddy Long's GM assistant girl for now). That's almost as big as the entire ECW roster. I have to wonder...if WWE managed to get the time, could they feasibly make an all Divas show? I appreciate a good women's match, but I don't think I'd watch an all-diva's show. Teddy Long's GM assistant girl aka Tiffany is trained to wrestle. Ah, OK about Tiffany. Didn't know she was trained yet. Me...I wouldn't mind an all women's show. ...hell, I used to watch WOW back in the day, and these girls are better trained than the WOW girls were (for the most part)
Scroby Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Wow i wonder what would have been had that plan went through. Disaster.
Thanks for the Fish Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Me...I wouldn't mind an all women's show. ...hell, I used to watch WOW back in the day, and these girls are better trained than the WOW girls were (for the most part) Yeah, but that was in your pre-pubescent days when you hoped to catch a glimpse of Mt. Fiji's side boob.

Fiji's side boob. First of all, I'm 26. So when WOW (not GLOW) was on the air, I was in my teens. Second of all...you're sick, you know that. Third of all...I thought Terri Gold was cute. And in a psycho-bitch sorta way, so was Riot.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Lana Starr was the best part about WOW. She was the ultimate bitch heel.
Ed Wood Caulfield Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Caged Heat! Loca and Delta Lottapain! I always thought that they were going for a Dudley Boyz vibe with those two. Didn't they have the 3D as their finisher too?
ChrisMWaters Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 ...I just checked... http://www.wowe.com/ It's STILL up.
Enigma Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Wow, the best name they could come up with for a basketball gimmick was "Slam Dunk"?
Scroby Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 You never saw WOW? It was a bad lesbian porn...that had no porn but had Bobby Heenan.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Wow, the best name they could come up with for a basketball gimmick was "Slam Dunk"? What would YOU have called her?
ChrisMWaters Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Or an idea I had just now...Michelle (for Michael Jordan) and either Barkley or Rodman.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 I really didn't think WOW was all that bad. Caged Heat (a female version of the Dudleys, but with the prison gimmick) would get over in TNA. Hell, most of these gimmicks would get over in TNA.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Should I go and confess my sins for liking the commentary of Matt Striker and Todd Grisham? I mean, they're not amazing, but you can feel the potential they have to be the mainstay announcers for Raw in the near future. They're willing to work the style WWE wants to push (story telling and putting characters over) and 'mostly' manage to do it without it sounding too forced (Michael Cole). Besides, Matt Striker has that natural ability on the mic to sound good/funny/spontaneous.
Steviekick Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Striker/Grisham are probably the best commentary team in the WWE right now.
Boner Kawanger Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 They're the best team in all of televised wrestling by proxy.
Obi Chris Kenobi Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Well, yeah... but shh. I was taking into account potential teams (Cole & Tazz, JR & Cole, etc). I know people loved JBL & Cole, but I thought JBL's commentary started to become a bit repetitive after a while.
Silence Posted February 12, 2009 Report Posted February 12, 2009 Well, yeah... but shh. I was taking into account potential teams (Cole & Tazz, JR & Cole, etc). I know people loved JBL & Cole, but I thought JBL's commentary started to become a bit repetitive after a while. "The Undertaker wears scars like badges!" "He smells like smoke because he's been through fire!"
