There's a few unanwsered questions about wrestling? If Coop or anybody can answer any of these questions, I'd really like that.

Who was behind that GTV thing back in 1999?  Remember someone placed a camera showing Test and Stephine going out, causing Shane to start a rival with Test.  GTV popped up a certain times in 1999, but WWE never revealed who was behind, I don't think.  Any ideas?

WCW had something know as the Remote Control, when someone would attack a superstar with the lights went out during late 1999.  For some reason I had an idea that the Warrior was involved because the way the shadowy figure clothes lined someone in the dark looked familar.

And remember Brakus?  I remember his promos in 1997, but he never "official" arrived.  He showed up a year later in the Brawl for all, lost and had one regular match in the WWE only to go to ECW for a while.  They said he was going to start a rivaly with Bret Hart, but that was thought up before Survivor Series.  Did WWE delay Brakus's arrival into the WWE because of Bret Hart leaving the WWE?

Tiger Ali Sing, the Middle Easterner who paid Americans to do low things was in the WWE only for a short time.  What happened? Was his gimmick not responsing to the fans.

And how come Regal came to the WWE in 1998, only to leave back to WCW in 1999 and then come back to the WWE in 2000?  It was just like Jeff Jarret.  1996 WWE, 1997 goes to WCW.  late 1997 goes back to WWE, 1999 leaves WWE back to WCW.  Sometimes I think WCW and WWE were working together before WWE bought WCW.

Also, in March of 2001 just weeks before the final Nitro, the Great Seven. (Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett, Bagwell, Luger, Scott and Rick Steiner and Animal) where being jumped by a mystery person.  Bagwell had a camera and there was a scene where someone moves it so it shoots the wall while the person beats up someone.  Was it supposed to Goldberg, Sting, DDP?  They never answered that either. 

Also, was it revealed on who actaully drove the white hummer that hit Kevin Nash in 1999?  They never really answered that.  I was confused by the mystery of having few superstars associated with white hummers.

Was Eric Bischoff, coming out of a white hummer, after attacking Hogan's limo a year later in 2000, WCW's way of saying that Eric was the one who drove the white hummer a year before and nailed Nash's limo?

Always remember this about WCW: Their storylines hardly ever made any sense, and they never explained much. The writers in WCW were horrible and never planned ahead, much like Smackdown! today. Wcw was awesome because of the wrestling, not the storylines(With the exception of the nWo). WWE while not so bad, still has storylines that are full of holes. I wouldn't worry about it.

Regal, made alot of jumps because he got fired a bunch of times due to drug problems.

[Reply #605 on:]

He got fired for not selling a squash to goldberg. He locked him into a submission and gave him a MATCH, and WCW fired him.

[Reply #606 on:]

Maybe so, but I know for a fact he left the then WWF in 1998 to go into drug rehab. Sounds like somthing WCW would do though. Someone does something to make a match better, and they fire him. They did the same thing to Dustin Rhodes one time when he did a blade job in a match.

After hearing what happened at Vengeance, my question is, Is this the beginning of the end of Evolution?  Has Edge's prediction come true?

god i hope not. I love Evolution. They aint the 4 Horsemen, but theyre pretty fuckin good.

[Reply #609 on:]

I keep telling my brother there writers are running out of ideas.  and last week when I saw them playing muschial chairs I told him the end of the world has come. 

Futurama's not dead yet!!!

[Reply #610 on:]

its true. I think theyre running out of ideas too. The whole Eugene thing was pushing it too. They really need a kick in the ass to get em back on track.

[Reply #611 on:]

They need to bring Austin back and raise some more hell. They need to bring the Rock back and have him take on Randy Orton and help put an end to Evolution.

Evolution has been around for way too long.  One thing I've learned about factions in wrestling is that they split up.  The Nation, DX, NWO, 4 Horsemen, Hart Foundation, The Corporation.  All these factions didn't last, so history will repeat itself.

[Reply #612 on:]

yeah but at leats those lasted for a few years. evolution has only been around for a while and i think that there is still alot of potential with that group.

I do think though that HHH needs to leave the group because i think that it is reall hurting him instead of helping. Have him ditch the suit, put on that leather and denim jacket and make him a rebel badass again. I'd keep him heel though, a face HHH always sucks (unless with DX)

[Reply #613 on:]

Is Eugene ever going to make a return? Was he just a shot term gimmick, like Zach Gowen?  i hope not, Eugene was better than Zach Gowen.  I didn't like how they tired to make people feel sorry for Zach, like he was suppose to get "special treatment"  That's why I laughed when Brock threw him down the stairs.  That was funny, because I didn't like Zach anyway.  Eugene was treated more like a regular person and thus earned my respect.  I hope Eugene does come back.


Who is going to win the One Hour Iron Man Match on Raw?  I hope HHH doesn't win, I'm sick of him only getting title shots.  I thought Edge was going to be the next contender?

[Reply #614 on:]

I heard that the WWE has huge long term plans for the Eugene. 

I doubt that they'll have a title change on RAW. I expect benoit to go over, but because of Triple H's considerable pull backstage, I don't expect a clean finish.

[Reply #615 on:]

Kurt Angle is now an active wrestler again, but who's going to be the new GM of SD?

[Reply #616 on:]

No more GMs.  The whole idea is tired and worn-out.  Either it's an evil GM who breaks the rules and fights a rebellious "man of the people" babyface, or it's a babyface GM who punishes the evil stable in charge.  Both of those just aren't interesting tv anymore.

[Reply #617 on:]

So, when are they going to get rid of Bischoff?  I want to see him stripped of his power as well.

i could picture a storyline where he gets stripped of his job and becomes an annoying, cold and digected hanger-on during RAW. Could be funny.

[Reply #619 on:]

After getting stoned, and watching some old matches, I have come to the distinct understanding that Jeff Hardy is awesome.

Thank you.

A true inspiration Coop.

God i miss Jeff Hardy too.....   

[Reply #621 on:]

Well now you can see him every weekday on TNA: Impact. Fridays only on FOX sports net. Seriously, watch it. Those guys need all the viewers they can get.

[Reply #622 on:]

Oh you know I've been watching Newhook. I wouldn't miss it for the world. It's a great show and now Jeff is on it and it will be twice as cool.

I never got Jeff before, but I do now, and I can see why the released him, lol.

This new habit of mine has helped me reconnect with my love for wrestling in brand new ways. You can bet that Bret Hart DVD is going to rule.

Any DVD with HBKvHart in the WM12 Ironman match and Bret HartVS Owen Hart at WMX has gotta be good.

What did I say!?!

Do I know the WWE writers or what? 

[Reply #625 on:]

With Randy facing Benoit at Summerslam, is it going to be like that time when Hogan lost the world's title to Sting and Scott Hall from the NWO got a shot?

Will HHH expect Orton to win the title for HHH, but Orton will stand up to HHH saying he's winning the title for himself thus spliting Evolution?

I want to see Eugene vs HHH at Summerslam. 

[Reply #626 on:]

That wish may yet come true.

And I'm not quite sure if it's Orton's time or not. But if he wins the belt, I will not be dissapointed. He would look pretty fine with that gold around his waist.

And who else was glad to see Kamala? Hell, I missed the big guy. And seeing him made the night for me.

[Reply #627 on:]

Yeah, I want to see Orton with the strap. Benoit has been the best champion for a long time, but I'd like to see the title switch hands a few times between him and Orton. Sounds like a great fued.

i agree, I think Orton has more potential than any other guy on RAW right now. Giving him the strap early in his career could be a mistake though. He could become just like Brock Lesnar. And we dont want to go through that again... By giving such a young guy the belt, it loses a bit of credibility. I say it should go to Jericho. He deserves it, plus Jericho/Benoit fueds always fucking rule.

[Reply #629 on:]

The way I see it, Orton will win the title, feud with H, then feud with Jericho. And perhaps a feud with HBK when he returns! Oh man that will be something.

And Orton has too much respect for the business to get like Brock and get big headed, I worried about that. I know his father raised him to respect the business. And I don't think it will lose it's credibility. Especially if Orton defends it a lot.

[Reply #630 on:]

Has anyone seen the Benoit vs HHH Iron Man match? Man that was the best Benoit match I've seen in a long time.

[Reply #631 on:]

Teddy Long is the new Smackdown GM.  It is sort of odd that he went against his previous gimmick.  For a second I thought he was going to give Booker T the title because he's been denied it for being black.  But no, Long has really changed since becoming GM.

Also, wasn't the Undertaker going to punish Heyman?  I'm glad Undertaker has a title shot, but I wanted him to beat the Hell out of Heyman first.  Did he really let Heyman slide?

[Reply #632 on:]

Austin will come back whenever he damn well feels like it. He may be one of the best wrestlers around today but he's pretty self centred...

Whew... wrestling fans on a futurama site. They won't let me sign up to Rajahwwe for some reason, but I proved *them*

[Reply #633 on:]

Austin is no longer useful in a wrestling capacity, so I don't want him back unless he's going to go for one last match against someone important, and job of course.

I think Smackdown is in need of revamping. And what I mean is NEW STARS, NEW STARS, NEW STARS, NEW STARS, NEW STARS and NEW STARS.

They're working on it from the looks of it. But I would still like to see more from Mark Jindrak, he's one of gimmicks I enjoy. I'm also glad to see Billy and London getting some TV time, but the odds are once they lose the titles again, the WWE won't have anything ready for them.

[Reply #634 on:]

I was thinking the other day. You know who I really miss? La Parka. He was so awesome, the WWE should bring him in. Even watching him make his way to the ring was fun.
*Sigh*
I miss the good old 1996-1999 WCW.

Vince needs to bring in some Lucha stars from Mexico for SmackDown!. Make the lightweight division as great as WCW's used to be. Fans are into high flying risky shit. Why not give it too them?

[Reply #635 on:]

Are are some some Luchadores Smackdown needs for their crusier weight divison.

Super Calo
La Parka
Psychosis
Juvi
El Dandy
Silverking

and others that I don't remember their names.

[Reply #636 on:]

You need La parka AND La Parkita.

I say start an exchange program with CMLL or AAA.

[Reply #637 on:]

I miss Luna. They showed her in a clip montage of WWEs Greatest Mistakes. Man, was I mad.

[Reply #638 on:]

I miss Essa Rios. Well he's wrestling as Aguila in TNA.

[Reply #639 on:]

And he's gained some weight.
