Do you guys expect Shawn Michaels to win at the next pay-per-view the World's champion against Chris Benoit?  They will be fighting in Chris's home town.  Can anybody say Montreal?

[Reply #401 on:]

I'm expecting a screwjob deal, much like Hart\Michaels, truthfully.  Its kinda predictable, so perhaps it won't happen... But... :-\

[Reply #402 on:]

I'm predicting Benoit retaining. I really don't want to see HBK as champ again.

Shelton Benjerman just beat Triple H! Sweet sweet justice. 

[Reply #404 on:]

Oh,hell yeah!

Seeing as we don't get Raw until Friday (and Smackdown on Saturday) I read the report on PWTorch.  Looks like a decent enough show.

I got my remaining Wrestlemanias through in the post today (which brings my collection of WM's back up to twenty, that's with WMXX taped off Sky Sports), was able to watch XIX for the first time, which was a pretty good PPV.

[Reply #406 on:]

XIX is a personal favorite for me.

Yeah Shelton winning was cool. Bradshaw looks to be getting a pretty big push as well, which I also like very much.

[Reply #407 on:]

I like the push Bradshaw's getting, but his atitude sucks.

[Reply #408 on:]

What has happened to some of the WWE Divas?  Teri, Jacqueline, Ivory, have they been let go?

Also, what has happened to Maven, Christopher Nowinski, Tommy Dreamer?

[Reply #409 on:]

All those divas are still there, just not in the featured storyline at the moment. Maven will be back soon, Nowinski injured and last I heard there is a chance he may have to retire, Dreamer is still jobbing.  That poor guy deserves a push.   

[Reply #410 on:]

Am I the only person that thinks this whole brand extension is not necessary? I was watching last week's Raw when the SD guys were fighting the Raw guys and I was thinking "this is ridiculus, they're all one company".

[Reply #411 on:]

I think it is completely neccessary. There are just too many superstars to work on one brand.

If they were all together on one brand, they would just end up keeping some superstars on one show in order to cover feuds well and also the travel schedule would be hell. Seeing as Smackdown and Raw travel in different cities, wrestlers would be back and forth and everywhere at once, it would be hectic.

Also, with two different brands traveling to different cities and countries, this allows them to get more house shows in.

What injury did Nowinski get?  Didn't he get a head injury?  He had the same type of atitude as Orton and Bradshaw combined, which made him funny.

[Reply #413 on:]

Nowinski has chronic migrains.

Terri has been fired, as well as Sean O'Haire today.

[Reply #414 on:]

Sean O'Haire has been absent since Piper was fired.  Why was he and Teri fired, today?  Damn the WWE is letting go a whole bunch of guys; Faarooq, Goldberg, Goldust, Brock Lesnar.  Why is that, why deprive fans their favorite superstars?

[Reply #415 on:]

That's simple:

Sean O'Haire - They weren't really going to use him anyway, so it's better to let him be free with the chance of a return someday.

Goldberg - Contract expired, had a hard time reaching a new agreement.

Goldust - Getting old, should have just given him the Dustin Rhodes gimmick, but oh well, have to make room for new guys.

Brock Lesner - quit to join NFL.

Terri - who acctually cares? She wasn't really doing anything anymore anyway.

[Reply #416 on:]

But it seems like they are getting rid of superstar more than usual.

I remember marking out for O'Haire's promos back when he was reintroduced into the WWF.  His "I'm not telling you anything you don't already know" bits were probably the last interviews that I looked forward to seeing.  I think with his look, mic skills, and potential, he could have been huge.  Too bad Vince hates anyone who ever made money for WCW.

[Reply #418 on:]

That's right. He had a unique style. Sean is acctually very skilled in martial arts and has a great "Sean-ton bomb" that they wouldn't let him do.

Regardless of how good he was in the ring, WWE saying they are going to release O'Haire Wasn't "telling me anything I didn't already know."

How come? Was that a piledriver-esque move or something?

[Reply #420 on:]

No, it was the Swan-ton bomb that Jeff Hardy used to use. I guess they said he couldn't use it because Jeff was around, when Jeff left I guess he had just grown acustomed to not using it.

[Reply #421 on:]

Ah, I see. They do have some funny rules though, that company. 

[Reply #422 on:]

Agreed, does anyone know if Hurricane even uses his shining wizard anymore?

Is that true? Bummer; I mean, I can still remember when he was being seriously pushed in WCW - the entire stadium chanting "Goldberg!" at the same time. I'd never heard anything like it. That's a real pity. Still, Vinnie'll soon find out what a mistake he's made.

[Reply #424 on:]

He was a jerk backstage and refused to up his in-ring work. Just look at his match with Brock Lesner.

I don't think his heart is in the business. Same with Lesner. It's weird, Goldberg has spent so much time in Japan but still isn't very good in the ring.

[Reply #425 on:]

First off I think Triple H will win at Backlash, he's had the title 9/10 times last year.  Maybe this year will be different, although it's doubtful.

Second, where is the Undertaker?  Last I saw he tombstoned Heyman, did they just bring him back for Wrestlemania XX?

I think the Goldberg-Lesnar match was awesome, I was looking foreward to that match for awhile, and it stinks that they both left.  I wanted to see  rematch.

Fourth-  I think the Big Show should be champ again, that John Cena punk robbed him of  his U.S. title at Wrestlemania, but Show will get a WWE title shot WHEN he wins that Angle Great American Award.

Lastly, I don't think Farooq was let go for good, I think there will be  Farooq-Bradshaw fued in the future which I would love to see.

[Reply #426 on:]

My god...how to reply to that? You know what? Someone else, I can't. :\

[Reply #427 on:]

Well I doubt that this guy will ever even post here again, but I'll try to reply to him anyway:

I think you may be right, too bad I haven't liked Triple H since before Wrestlemaina X7, and Benoit is an awesome champ.


   

Second where is the Undertaker?  Last I saw he tombstoned Heyman, did they just bring him back for Wrestlemania XX?

As far as I know, he's still a part of WWE. It's just that his body is on the verge of falling apart from years of injuries and age, so WWE uses him sparingly on regular shows, and have him doing most of his wrestling on Pay Per View so Vince can get his moneys worth out of old 'Taker.

   

I think the Goldberg-Lesnar match was awesome, I was looking foreward to that match for awhile, and it stinks that they both left.  I wanted to see  rematch.

Brock was, quite frankly shoved down our throats, and Goldberg is only good in small doses. I'm glad they're both gone, although I would have liked to see Austin vs. Goldberg simply for the WWF vs. WCW aura it has. Funny, most consider this the worst match of WM XX.

   

Fourth-  I think the Big Show should be champ again, that John Cena punk robbed him of U.S. title at Wrestlemania, but Show will get a WWE title shot WHEN he wins that Angle Great American Award.

Cena is a more popular wrestler with both casual fans (marks), and dorky internet fans (smarks). Back at the beginning of his WCW run as The Giant, show was a decent wrestler.  Around the time he joined the nWo, and  put on like 150 lbs. his in ring ability went down and he hasn't really been main event material since.

Also you do realize that Show has had the WCW World Title/WWE Title and his moment in the sun several times already don't you? Cena is a fresh face, and a better wrestler to boot. He deserves the US title more than Show, and I would much rather see Cena as the WWE Champ than Big Show.

   

Lastly, I don't think Farooq was let go for good, I think there will be  Farooq-Bradshaw fued in the future which I would love to see.

No wrestlers are ever "let go for good". If WWE sees a sutible storyline for him, or think he has potential to draw big ratings, they'll bring him back. While I'll be the first to admit that the WWE has had some very bad storylines over the last year, I doubt that a Farooq/Bradshaw fued will help matters much.

Now I have a question for you Lrrr_2004. You do realize that the winners of wrestling matches are predetermined right? Because it doesn't seem like you do after reading your post.

*Edit* On a side note, I love your Fire Pro Wrestling Z sig Coop.

I know how you feel, when I found out about the reason for the name change I wanted to beat up some Pandas, but I learned to accept it, after all it's not the name that matters, it's...aw who am i kidding, why should those wildlife morons get the name WWF?  The wrestling is more popular, do you think anyone would care if the wildlife fund changed it's name?

Oh, and sorry to change the subject but does anyone know why my threads keep getting cancelled?  Any info would be much appriciated.

Eh, n00b threads aren't appreciated much around here. I've never started a thread before, and look at how long I have been here!

NWA TNA is very close to striking a TV deal with Fox sports. I am so excited!

[Reply #430 on:]

Wow jul. 2003, that's cool.

I'm not really a big fan of TNA,
remindes me of WCW which I thought was boring.

I heard that too, awesome isn't it? I may be able to see my main man Double J on TV again. ^_^

I'd be more excited to see more of the"X-Division". Ive seen a bunch of those matches and theyre f'n great.

Now I have a question for you Lrrr_2004. You do realize that the winners of wrestling matches are predetermined right? Because it doesn't seem like you do after reading your post.

I know wrestling is fixed, but i don't care.  I watch it because it's entertaining.

[Reply #434 on:]

I think that the ammount of X-matches are fine at the moment. In fact, maybe too many.

I know that I am in the minority here, but to me wrestling has become too much dazzle. Too many crazy bumps and flips and leaps and little to no wrestling at all.

I don't mind the crazy stuff, but I believe that because of it, wrestling fans expect to be shocked every single match. This is why people are put off by guys like Bradshaw and Big show, because they don't believe that anything else is acceptable! The reason I watch wrestling is because I want to see guys with different styles facing off.

It just upsets me that in the future, this could be all there is. A lot of people say they are happy to see the "Big man" style go, but I'm not. 

[Reply #435 on:]

How come they let go of Jamal and not Rosie?

I used to like 3 minute warning they had a cool entrance music. 

[Reply #436 on:]

That I'm not sure of. Perhaps they saw more potential in Rosey.

It's just that it's happened with so many new posters before.

Oh, jeez. I didn't mean you shouldn't find it entertaining, I love wrestling too. I just thought that you where taking things seriously when you were talking about Big Show's loss to Cena.

I heard something about this awhile ago, either he got fired for using drugs, or from injuring someone from being too stiff. It could have been a combination of both.

[Reply #438 on:]

You're absolutely right Newhook, I remember now. Jamal injured that girl during the whole "HLA" segment. They fired him partly to not risk suing.

[Reply #439 on:]

Sweet Jesus, Shelton Benjerman just beat Triple H again! Granted it was by count out and he got beat down after, but beating Triple H two weeks in a row is no small feat, methinks he has a huge push coming.

However I did notice from the interview at the start of Raw that he needs to work on his mic work.
