I think it's going to be rigged.

Is Gene Snitsky going to get a push?  He was the one who hit Kane with the chair causing Kane to land on Lita.

Austin makes an appearance on Smackdown.  Now, if only he can return to RAW, then WWE would be better.  He may not wrestle, but he can still stun people.

[Reply #763 on:]

Austin will probably never get back with the WWF.  After two seperate domestic violence incidents within the past two (three?) years, he's too much of a liability now.  Plus, he simply can't wrestle anymore.

[Reply #764 on:]

I know he can't wrestle, but I still would like to see him involved, as sheriff of RAW or Co-GM.  I do remember Scott Hall had more problems than Austin, but the WWE gave him a chance in 2002, but he ruined it.  I think Austin would do better.

Also, I thought the reason why Austin left earlier this year was because of contract problems, not domestic.

Gangrel was cool....!
His entrance music rocked, his character had never been done before (to my knowledge) and without him we wouldn't have seen Edge or Christian....sort of....

He wasn't the best wrestler but he wasn't that bad....

Now Viscera is another story....

Yea, something about fat dudes wearing mascara creeps me out.

Whatever happened to Gangrel anyway I thought he was cool back in the days.

[Reply #767 on:]

Gangrel is sweet, he always was, especially when the brood was around. The brood kicked ass. The old ministry kicked even more ass.

Sad news to report today guys.

Unfortunetly Big Boss Man passed away last night due to unknown causes.

He will be greatly missed.

[Reply #769 on:]

Sad indeed.  both the live WWF events I went to, he performed.

I have to agree with the promo by Eric Bischoff regarding Tuesday Taboo, it's a good idea on paper, and if they do do it for real, it has potential to kick-off some decent matches and feuds thereafter.

[Reply #770 on:]

It's been announced that Big Boss Man died of a massive heart attack. Best wishes go out to his friends and family.

Let me tell you a story about a PPV WCW had way back when called "Lethal Lottery". The story went that WCW's next ppv would feature a tournament of randomly drawn tag teams. This would have been a fantastic idea, great for drama and starting new feuds, had the drawing not actually been random outside the storyline. You heard me, the matchs weren't just picked at random in the storyline, they were actually picked at random in a back office in real life and booked on the fly. Needless to say, the PPV sucked, because many guys who ened up working with eachother, had hardly ever spoken before(Wcw had a huge roster). It was a complete mess.

That's my worry with Taboo Tuesday, it won't be a problem if they give the fans 2 or 3 choices in the polls, or if the voting happens a few weeks in advance, but if it's an open ballot the night of the PPV, watch out, because it'll be a stinker.

[Reply #771 on:]

I'm excited about Taboo Tues. I think it could either be a big success for the WWE or it could be a HUGE failure. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

I just saw Smackdown and it seems that Angle is trying to start his own Evolution with Luther Reigns and Mark Jindrak.  I'm just using Evolution as an example since it seems to be the only existing faction right now.  But look at the similarities

Angle- HHH
Jindrak- Orton
Reigns- Batista

now all they need is someone like Ric Flair and we have a total rip-off.

How about Bob Backlund? He used to be at ringside of Kurt Angle back in 2000.

[Reply #773 on:]

Bob Backlund is in a old folks home now, hooked to IV's 24/7.

Seriously, I thought that gimmick was kinda pointless then and it would be now. Angle, Jindrak, and Reigns are fine as is.

Really?  I didn't know he was in that condition.  Anyway, I just hope this Angle faction doesn't turn out to be an Evolution clone.

[Reply #775 on:]

I'm going to edit that because you think I'm being serious. No, Bob Backlund isn't in a old folks (as far as I know) it was just a me being a smart ass. He is old though around the same age as Flair. When I said seriously, I meant that gimmick where Backlund was Angle's manager was pointless and went nowhere. I can see where you got confused.

[Reply #776 on:]

Oh don't get me wrong, I think Bachlund does require some sort of care, based on his mentality.  I'm only saying factions tend to come in groups of four most of the time.

[Reply #777 on:]

You forget guys, at least Flair is entertaining. I always hated Backlund.

I think this thread should close since we are almost at the end.
