Title: The Official "WWE" Thread

Who here loves the WWE?  I've been a huge fan for the last 3 years, and it's almost impossible getting me away from the TV when Smackdown or RAW is on TV.  I occassionally will order one of the special shows on PPV, but that is quite rare (too much money for a show, even though they're great to watch).

Who's your favorite character?  Who do you most resemble?  What do you like watching better... Smackdown or RAW?

Let this be the thread where anything goes... as long as it involves the WWE.  If you have any spoilers please make sure you mention that at the beginning of your post.  Thanks!

I think Carrie might be - or is that only UFC she digs?  Not my thing, but I do think that the Fabulous Thunderlips was one helluva stud back in the day when I was a kid.  Sure kicked Rocky's a$$ handily!   ;D

Hey Scott, who's that guy shaking Hogan's hand?

Did you know that Hulk Hogan right now is going by Mr. America???

I do love wrestling, but not WWE so much. I'm more of a Japanese wrestling and Indy wrestling fan, and Mixed-Martial Arts (Pride and UFC) is my main thing. I usually don't have much to add to WWE threads because I'm primarily disgusted with the current state of "big" wrestling, and don't care much anymore. If you want to talk Indy promotions, I'm all there, though.  :)

I like wrestling but like CC I am very discouraged with the state that the WWE is in now. 3 of my favorites are highly misused Hurricane, RVD and Booker T. Once it's gets better and GOD aka HHH doesn't run everything I'll get into it again.

I don't watch wrestling like I used to. Its not the same as it was years ago. My best memories will always be The Hart family just south of me in Calgary.
I miss Owen.   :'(

Back in the day I for some reason loved King Kong Bundy...the way he destroyed the JYD in Wrestlemania must of had something to do with it...

That match Dale is one of the classics!

I went to a match in the old Met Center when I was around 10 which featured a steel cage match between Ricky the Dragon and the Macho Man.  I knew then and there that wrestling was faker then hell and the illusions of TV were shattered.  It was so obvious the matches were rigged that I never really watched after that
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: dustrho on May 21, 2003, 10:37 AM
The WWE is almost like a soap opera... they're both fake as hell but very entertaining.  Of course the WWE is fake.  If it were real it would have to only be shown on PPV like they do with Chamipionship Fighting tournaments.

I used to hate watching the WWF when I was a kid.  My best friend from high school always kept asking me to go to the local event when they came to town, and I always turned him down.  Now I wish I had gone to those events, because it was a lot better back then than it is now.

Granted it's fake, but it sure is entertaining!

What are you talking about that those three are being misused?  They get plenty of airtime, but I would love to see the Hurricane get a title shot.  He's awesome to watch.

And I'm sick of HHH... I think it should be "game over."

From the pictures I have, Andre was wrestling against Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Others that were there were the Ultimate Warrior, Mr. Fuji, the British Bulldog, Jimmy Hart, Honky Tonk Man & others I can't make out.

There was another time when Hulk Hogan came & man was the Coliseum loud with the fans.
Even the Blue Blazer made his appearance & the fans started chanting, Owen.  ;D

Hey Dale, just in case you didn't know it, but Rowdy Roddy Piper and Ric Flair are back in the WWE.  Flair has been back for a while now, but Piper came back about a month ago.  Piper looks pretty funny with a skinny face and a fat gut (he doesn't look that fit in the pictures below, but he does have a gut now).  He also brought back "Piper's Pit" to the show.

Well I shouldnt say misused but all three of these guys "pushes" have been really weak. I mean all three are good workers and they should be used better. But of course all three or on Raw and they'll never see it due to HHH.

Post by: dustrho on June 2, 2003, 10:09 PM
I know the WWE is all fake wrestling and all but it's so damn entertaining.  Most of the wrestling looks pretty close to the real deal.  But anytime "The Rock" is on the show (which is rare these days) the acting is pathetic.  He was on tonight, and everytime Y2J & Christian were beating on him in the ring the punches & kicks didn't even remotely come close to him.  Like I said before, I know it's fake.  But this was the worst acting I've seen in a LOOOONG time in the WWE.

Anyone else see that too?

Nice to have ANOTHER familiar face here!
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on June 6, 2003, 12:20 AM
Well, my favorite wrestler would probably have to be either Angle or Jericho. As for the shows, we don't get UPN on my cable system, so I can only watch Raw. :( I used to think Smackdown was the better show, until Austin returned as Co-GM to Raw. Ever since then, I've felt that Raw is improving and that Smackdown is just becoming more and more like a soap opera. :P
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: dustrho on June 6, 2003, 12:46 AM
Hey Slave, you and I have exactly the same thoughts about Raw and Smackdown.  Unbelievable!  As far as my favorite wrestlers go it would be Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldberg and Kurt Angle.

Wrestlezone.com (A good website for wrestling news, despite all of the pop-ups) is saying that the two main matches at Vengeance will be Mr. America vs. Vince McMahon, and Lesnar vs. Angle. I'm assuming that Lesnar will turn heel sometime.

I missed Smackdown because I was out having dinner with my parents.  Wish I could've seen Angle back in action finally.

Post by: BushiFox on June 8, 2003, 08:10 AM
Well, he wasn't really in action, but he came back.  Highlight of the night was Rey mysterio and Matt hardy.  That was a well worked match.  

Well, actually, I think I enjoyed the Tajiri and Eddie vs basham brothers better.  Just, Tajiri is probably one of my fav. wrestlers to watch.  I love the cruiser weights.  :)

Post by: BushiFox on June 8, 2003, 01:33 PM
Hmmm.  I haven't seen him doing that.  My personal fav. is where he gets irish whipped into the ropes, does a front hand spring so that his back hits the ropes upside down, comes back into a back hand spring, and nails the guy.  

Thats just great.

There was a Cell hanging above the ring and was lowered at the end. Foley made a guest appearance and got into a small fight with Triple H. It's sad because Foley took more bumps than Nash and Triple H will combined this Sunday. The segment ended with Nash pinning Triple H and Foley counted to three. The ending guarantees a Triple H victory.

Not much else happened.

Big Show + Brock Lesnar made their way up the ropes, both guys got to the top rope, Brock got Show in a headlock, and he SUPLEXED HIM OFF OF THE TOP ROPE...he weighs 500 POUNDS..and when they landed..THE RING TOTALLY COLLAPSED!!!!!!!

It was INCREDIBLE! I wish I had pics! Of course, everyone was chanting "Holy ****! Holy ****!"

Aside from that, Linda Miles (the black chic from Tought Enough 2) came out as the valet for the Bashm Brothers, and she was in some weird dominatrix get up. She's got man abs. Bleh.

Rey Rey kept his title, Rhyno "accidently" hit Chris Benoit and cost them the match vs The Basham Bros, and Team Angle officially disbanded, atleast Haas/Benjamin. They left Kurt Angle. Billy Gunn came back and beat Albert w/ a Fameasser..umm..Vince mcMahon beat Zach Gowen in an arm wrestling macth by kicking him in his prosthetic leg..

Thats about it! The ring thing..that was just amazing. You'll have to watch Velocity or something, or it may already be on the official site.

Post by: Diddly on June 16, 2003, 01:30 AM
Hey all, I just got back from the PPV, and I just thought that I'd give you all my thoughts about it. Overall, I thought it was just... okay.

Nowinski/Mack def. The Dudley Boyz- I guess that was an okay match to start the show off with. Nothing really stood out. I was expecting the win, and I guess that a PPV win will push Nowinski and Mack

Burping Contest- Holy Pre-Recorded fake burps, Batman! :P

Steiner def. Test- Another okay match. I've been impressed with Steiner's work as of late. This was mainly just your average midcard match. I was expecting Test to win, and that really suprised me when he didn't. The best part of the match was when Steiner slipped off of the apron at the beginning of the match and hit his face on the mat. ;D

Christian def. Booker T by DQ to retain the IC Title- Hmm, they're really making Christian look weak. He hasn't won a match since winning the title, and he had to DQ himself to hold onto the title. I was expecting a Booker T win by pinfall, but oh well. Leaves the door open for a rematch.

"Pie" Eating Contest- Uggh, this was the worst part of the night. Having to look at Mae Young strip down to a thong and give Bischoff a Bronco Buster. I nearly hurled. At least Austin gave her a stunner. I guess that it's better than seeing her at the 2000 Royal Rumble though.

La Resistance def. RVD & Kane to win the Tag Titles- A very short match. I was waiting for either RVD or Kane to attack each other, but I guess they're saving that for tomorrow night. I was expecting the ending.

Goldberg def. Jericho- This match was funny seeing as that Goldberg is the face and Y2J is the heel, yet the crowd was booing Goldberg and chanting "Jericho!". Another victory I was expecting.

Ric Flair def. Shawn Michaels- I had great expectations for this match, but it let me down somewhat. The match ended without one person putting the other over, but I guess that leaves the door open for a rematch. I was expecting the HBK victory.

Steve Austin def. Eric Bischoff in a Redneck Triathlon- I thought this was pretty boring for some reason. Wow, we heard Bischoff sing, then he got thrown in a pile of pig waste. This kind of made the other competitions a waste of time, IMO.

Triple H def. Kevin Nash in a Hell in a Cell match to retain the World Title- I wasn't expecting much from this match either. It's sad that Foley took more bumps last week than Nash and Triple H took combined. They didn't even through each other into the cage for pete's sake! It was hard to watch this match, but the cell is really cool to see live. Too bad it wasn't as good of a match as the past few HIAC matches have been.

So I guess that the Raw main event for Summerslam is Goldberg vs. Triple H for the title.

Overall Grade: I give it a C-. It felt like a special Sunday 2 and a half hour edition of Raw. I'm really looking forward to the Smackdown Vengeance next month. That should be a good Pay Per View.

I also heard that Mick Foley is going to wrestle again, and that Goldberg is PO'ed after Linda McMahon said that his run so far has been "disappointing" so far. Thanks to Wrestlezone.com for that news.
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: MetalJedi on June 16, 2003, 02:24 AM
AGAIN...I am disappointed in what the WWE has to offer.

Booker T gets the shaft again and Trips doenst lose the belt. When WAS the last time he dropped it to someone else?? Was it HBK?

For a Raw only PPV it was decent. I'll wait to see a Smackdown only PPV before I judge on how it's going to turn out for the WWE.

MJ

Post by: Diddly on June 16, 2003, 11:43 PM
Raw was excellent tonight! It was great, especially after coming off of such a bad PPV.

Kane vs. Triple H next week for the title! Sweet. We all know that HHH is going to win, so will Kane unmask? I'm thinking DQ win so Kane can keep his mask on, because Kane is nothing without the mask. If he takes it off, everyone will just call him Fake Diesel. Either that, or he could use face paint like Sting...

I am enjoying Ivory as a face. I hope she gets a title shot soon.

I thought that Triple H was actually going to go one night without talking. Oh well.

Lance Storm is boring? I hope this is an excuse to push him and get him more airtime. I still think that he'd do better on Smackdown.

"It's raining Rico!"  ??? I thought that they were going to change his gimmick? His new music sounds like the FBI's. At least he isn't acting like the gay stylist/manager.

Even though I despise seeing Mae Young, you've gotta admit that it's cool that she's 80 years old and is still taking bumps like that.  :o

The worst part of the night was the tag match with Booker T/Goldberg vs. Jericho/Christian. Not even Jericho and Booker could save this match. Terrible.

Evolution finally gets music! The music and titantron is pretty good. The match between Maven and Randy Orton was pretty good too. Nice to see Maven and Al Snow back on Raw.

Triple H to Kane: "You won't be held back anymore" - LOL  :P

For the 200th episode, they seem to be putting a lot of focus on next weeks show.

Ultimo Dragon will make his on-air debut next week!

Also, expect the two Raw main events for Summerslam to be Foley vs. HHH for the title, and Goldberg vs. Jericho pt. 2. Goldberg was originally supposed to get a title shot, but is being punished because of his attitude as of late.

This whole "Zach" character (that is Mr. America's fan) is a joke.  I've never liked it since it started a month or so ago.  And him turning down a contract offer because he didn't want to kiss Vince's ass?  This is why RAW is much better to watch these days.

There's a chance that Smackdown will get better! Zach "wins" his contract, and Hogan is fired by McMahon! Here's hoping. It's also nice to not know what the heck is going on in the US Title Tourney. Some brackets would be nice.

And if you haven't heard, Roddy Piper and Crash have been released from WWE, and Hogan has quit. I don't think that I'll miss any of them.

Are you serious?  Where did you hear that?  I missed the very end of Smackdown last week and totally missed it last night.  Was that on last night's show?  Hulk Hogan definitely needs to retire his butt, and I'm sick of all these old timers coming back into the league (i.e. Hulk Hogan, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter).  Like I've said before, RAW is becoming a much better show to watch, and I give a lot of props out to Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Post by: Diddly on July 4, 2003, 01:06 PM
The Roddy Piper/Crash Holly stories were posted on WWE.com, so I'll look to see if they still have them posted.

Here (http://www.wwe.com/news/headlines/1227705) is a link to Piper's firing. Crash's has been removed. Hogan quit for a number of reasons, all which seem stupid to me. He was mad because he recieved a low Wrestlemania bonus paycheck (when everybody else did too), and was upset at being the 3rd biggest face in the 6-man tag on SD last week (when he recieves more airtime than any one of the cruiserweights).

McMahon fired Hogan and Mr. America last night, and Zach Gowen "won" his contract.

Based on the lack of replies to this thread, I assume that nobody has enjoyed the past week of programming?

I really don't know anyone from WCW, and I don't recognize the names you just rattled off there.

This whole "Michael Gowen" thing on Smackdown is a joke.  I just can't stand it when it's his time on the TV.

And I like how the fans are finally starting to cheer when Kurt Angle comes out.  He's always been one of my favorite wrestlers, and I have hated how they all boo him.  It is funny, though, how they still do that "you suck" during his theme music.  LOL!

Just saw RAW tonight and it was great!  Can you believe that Kane lit JR on fire at the end of the show?  If it were real the camera man would have dropped his camera to save JR, instead of just standing there taping everything.  But, the WWE is all fake but entertaining.

And, who here really thinks Linda McMahon is going to fire Stone Cold Steve Austin?

RAW Thoughts

PROS:
-The show was focused on Kane, instead of HHH.
-The 6-man tag was good, though I wish that the Dudleys could have eliminated at least one member of Evolution.
-King sounded serious, thanks to Coach stinking up commentary.
-THE ENDING!!! That was pure hilarity, and left a huge cliffhanger for next weeks show.
-JR "roasting".  :D  
-The Kane angle with Kane just imaging the scars and burns. That actually explains something.

CONS:
-The show mainly build-up for next weeks show, and not Summerslam.
-The Main Event. It lasted about two minutes.
-The fakeness of the Kane interview (The fake screams by JR, etc. I wouldn't be suprised if the burned JR was a dummy)
-IC Title match. It's had the same finish for the past month.
-Lance Storm jobbed to Maven. Nuff said.
-The Dudleys singing the Antional Anthem. It was long, boring, and it's been OVERDONE! I know that WWE is trying to be patriotic, but please!
-Seems like they just threw together the 6-person tag.(with Nash, Steiner, etc.)
-No Goldberg or HBK.

I give this show an A-, due to the semi-main event (6-man Elimination Tag), and the ending with JR's screams of death.

Let's hope that next weeks show will be great.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm still thinking about how Austin will "Save his job".

Why didn't Kane smother JR with some JR BBQ Sause? ;D

Anyone see RAW tonight?  At the very end Kane did a piledriver to Linda McMahon, and boy was it terrible acting.  The camera angle used was a poor choice, because you could see how Kane didn't even come remotely close to smashing Linda into the ground.  There was a good 2 feet between her head hitting the ground.  And yes, I know wrestling is fake, but this was probably the worst acting I've seen in the WWE in a long time.
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: roguestormtrooper on July 22, 2003, 07:08 PM
Yeah,  they could have done a better job with Kane piledriving Linda.  They could have made it look a little more real without risking injuring Linda.  

Now the real Question,  what reprocussions will this have?  Will Vince come back?  Shane?  Any thoughts?

Stone Cold vs. Kane at summerslam?  
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on July 23, 2003, 10:35 PM
Sorry I'm a little late with my RAW thoughts!

First, I have this weeks SmackDown! Spoilers (http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2003_/articles/1058975569.php).

Second, I have a HUGE RAW spoiler for next week involving Kane, and a returning "superstar".http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2003_/articles/1058921321.php (http://www.lordsofpain.net/news/2003_/articles/1058921321.php)

Onto the RAW Review:

Let me start off hy saying that I HATE Randy Orton's push. He is NOT the future. I see more potential in John Cena. I bet that DDP cringes everytime he sees Orton mess up the Diamond Cutter (RKO, but I call it the RK-Blow).

That being said, onto the review.

PROS:
-HBK/Jericho match. It seemed like an old-school 1996/97 match. Excellent match overall, except for the Evolution interference. Gave RAW a boost in the grade.
-They are starting the Summerslam fueds, even though the Goldberg/HHH feud is already boring.
-RVD vs. Kane. More of a spot fest than a match, but Kane slamming RVD into the stage and the stage exploding was cool. Kane going psycho on Arn Anderson, King, and Linda was cool too.
-Booker T vs. Test, mainly because of Stacy.  

CONS:
-Randy Orton's push. I don't see anything in this guy. He is NOT the future like everyone says he is. Cena has better mic skills and better wrestling ability. Cena is the future.
-The whole Kane House Arrest thing. It was so fake. I did some research, and they only let you go to your job, house, and grocery store (or any other necessary place). They don't fly you to a different state, and they don't tie you up in chains. The only realistic thing was the ankle bracelet thing.
-Women's Tag Match. Many missed moves and such.
-Lance Storm "Segment". Way to give Storm a push WWE.  
-Ending of IC Title match. They're making Booker look weak.
-Where were the Tag Champs? Dudleyz? I noticed that most of the guys I wanted to see wrestle were in the last backstage segment, but we had to witness a pointless Orton segment instead of wrestling matches.
-The opening segment was pretty pointless.
-Coach at commentary.

I give this week's edition of RAW a B-. It didn't pick up until the second hour, and I bet that either Vince or Shane will be on RAW next week to confront Kane for what he did to Linda.

Pretty good review there Slave!  I try to stay away from spoilers in regards to WWE, because after I see them I don't want to watch RAW or Smackdown.

Post by: Diddly on July 25, 2003, 01:45 PM
Did anybody see Smackdown last night? I'm going to "watch" Vengeance via Scramble Vision, because the card isn't very good. Plus, I never order WWE Pay Per Views anyway.

Is anybody going to waste $40 on Vengeance?
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: dustrho on July 25, 2003, 02:02 PM
I saw Smackdown last night and it was just "OK."  Nothing too exciting if you ask me.  RAW is so much better these days.

There is no way I'll spend $40 on Vengeance.  That's all the WWE is these days is PPV shows.  When they changed their name from WWF to WWE, they should've gone to PPV.   :P

Vengeance Results (from Wrestlezone.com)-

United States Championship Match
Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit

Both competitors came in the ring and the referee showed them the new United States title belt and went over the rules for the match. Eddie backed right off and was stalling before locking up with Benoit. They locked up and Benoit exploded with an shoulder block and then Eddie left the ring to stop the momentum of The Canadian Crippler.

Eddie finally got back into the ring and they locked up again. Eddie got Benoit in an armbar and they wrestled to the mat and Eddie hip tossed Benoit to win the exchange. They wrestled to the mat and Eddie again got the advantage with pressure to the arm and elbow of The Crippler. Eddie got up and started with the chops and then a leg scissors takedown into a pin, but Benoit countered and it ended in a stalemate with both men back on their feet.

They locked up again and Eddie got Benoit down to the mat with a side headlock. Eddie got up and hit a big shoulder block again and went right back to the side headlock. Benoit went for the back suplex but he landed on his feet and took Benoit down again with the side headlock. Benoit countered a Tombstone Piledriver and nailed Eddie with a shoulder breaker and then locked Eddie in the Crippler Crossface. Eddie for the ropes and left the ring, and Benoit nailed him with a torpedo through the ropes to the outside.

Benoit got Eddie in a Full Nelson down on the mat and Eddie got to his feet while Benoit slapped him in the back of the head. Benoit nailed Eddie with a chop and then Eddie nailed him with a back elbow in the corner and took Benoit upstairs for the Super Frankensteiner and covered him to get the 2-count.

Eddie went for the cover again and Benoit managed to kick out. Eddie kicked Benoit in the small of the back and then locked him in an armbar. Eddie connected with a chop. They both threw chops back and forth and Eddie ended the exchange with a poke to the eye. Benoit hit a back body drop and then followed by slamming Eddie into the corner and connecting with more Flair chops.

Eddie was lifted up to the top rope and Benoit perfectly executed a back suplex to the middle of the ring. Benoit barely got a cover and Eddie managed to kick out. Benoit hit 2 German Suplexes and then locked Eddie in the Crossface but got his foot on the ropes before tapping out.

Benoit hit the back breaker and then went for the pin again with a kickout from Guerrero. Eddie then nailed 2 vertical suplexes and then finished it off with a Superplex from the top rope. Eddie then went upstairs and missed the Frog Splash but Benoit was slow to get to work. A mighty powerbomb by Chris Benoit led to the Crossface yet again and Eddie got to the ropes again. Benoit got mad at the ref for making him break the hold and Eddie shoved him into the ref and knocked him out cold.

Eddie went out of the ring and snagged the new Championship belt and leveled Benoit with it and then hit the frog splash. Benoit miraculously kicked out of the pin and Eddie went back outside to grab the belt again. Eddie slammed the referee in the back with the title. Eddie put the belt on Benoit’s chest and played dead so the ref would see the title on Benoit and DQ him. The ref never came to and Eddie tried to get him up but Benoit got up by this time and put the Crossface on him again. There was no ref to make the call on the tap out.

Benoit ducked the belt shot and hit the German suplex on Eddie. He went up top and went for the diving headbutt but Eddie pulled the ref in the way. Rhyno then hit the ring and looked like he was ready to spear Eddie, but nailed Benoit and then spit on him in the ring and walked out. This allowed Eddie to hit the Frog Splash again and win the US Title.
Winner: Eddie Guerrero – New United States Champion

Vince and Stephanie were in the back and Stephanie was upset with her father. Vince told her he was turning over a new leaf and was going to be with Linda. He then said he got her flowers and there was a big bouquet behind her. He said those were for Sable, but he had some for her as well and handed her a cheesy bouquet of flowers.

Indecent Proposal Match
Billy Gunn w/ Torrie Wilson vs. Jamie Noble

Noble came out with a briefcase and said it was filled with all the sex items he needed to show Torrie the night of her life and do the things Billy could never do.

Noble got a huge powerslam and then left the ring and Gunn hurt his knee coming over the ropes and gave Noble the advantage. Nidia then made her way to ringside.

Billy got nailed with a huge DDT off the top rope and Nidia put Billy’s foot on the bottom rope to stop the count. Noble went out of the ring and went after Nidia and then locked lips with Torrie against her will and then got slapped around by both women. Torrie and Nidia were on the ring apron and at the same time Noble was able to roll up Billy and pull the tights to get the 1-2-3 and the night with Torrie Wilson.
Winner: Jamie Noble

APA Bar Room Brawl
Everyone was introduced to the Bar Room Brawl, which was down near the entrance area. Bradshaw got on the mic and said the last one drinking would be the winner. Bradshaw said some people like beer, some like grass, but if you’re in the bar he’s going to kick your ass. Brother Love then got on the mic and said he was going to lead a prayer before the event. Brother Love asked for forgiveness in the prayer and then slammed two jobbers in the back with a bar stool. All hell broke loose and Doink and the Brooklyn Brawler were going at it amongst everything else going on. Sean O’Haire grabbed pool cues and nailed Bradshaw in the head and then went after Nuzio. Shannon Moore stopped the momentum of O’Haire and sailed off the ramp onto him. Matt Hardy slammed a few beers and then put some boys through a table. It was a huge mess and it looked like only Funaki and Bradshaw were still up. Funaki had been at the bar the entire time. Bradshaw leveled him with a stool and then Brother Love opened a beer for Bradshaw and tried to make peace. Bradshaw leveled him with the can and Bradshaw was the last man standing and the winner of the APA Bar Room Brawl.
Winner: Bradshaw

Jamie Noble was in the back looking at the Torrie Wilson Playboy issue. He was drooling all over it and started bragging about getting to sleep with her on Thursday night. The backstage crewmember asked him what about Nidia? He said she is hot but will get over it.

Josh Matthews interviewed Eddie Guerrero as he was leaving the arena with the United States title. He asked him if the victory was tainted because of the actions of Rhyno.

My Thoughts - I thought that it was a decent PPV. I would give the Pros/Cons review, but I watched it via Scramble-Vision. It was better than Bad Blood. I wasn't expecting many of the outcomes. I give the show an A-.

Match of the Night: Tag Title Match.

I'm hoping that was just a copy/paste job from the site Slave just mentioned there, otherwise it's most likely the longest post in the history of JediDefender!  Well, I guess it still is, even if he didn't write it himself.  But here's to hoping it was just copied in here, and Slave didn't really spend two hours typing that all up!   :o

Of course I copied and pasted it all! I don't order the PPV shows, so I can't see what is going on. Sorry it was so long though. Yes, there are people on those wrestling sites who write the results of the shows as they go along. :o

RAW should be very interesting tonoght. Vince has been confirmed, and will confront Kane for his actions. Shane McMahon has also been rumored for the show...

I'm watching RAW right now, and so far it's pretty good.  I wish Goldberg would get more air time though.  He's coming out right now on the show.
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: dustrho on July 28, 2003, 09:32 PM
OK... Goldberg just killed Steven Richards.  This is something that just irritates me beyond belief.  Goldberg is a great wrestler, but they only put him up again weak people.  His matches only last about 1-2 minutes.

Wait a second... what do we have here?  HHH came out to rain on Goldberg's parade.  But Goldberg calls out HHH to fight tonight for the Title Belt, but of course HHH says, "No, we're going to do it at SummerSlam."  All this PPV stuff is crap!

Post by: roguestormtrooper on July 28, 2003, 10:27 PM
Next week:  Goldberg vs. Ric Flair?  

That should be interesting knowing that the rest of Evolution is going to get involved in some kind of way.

I can also see Randy Orton vs. HBK in the very near future.  

What an a** whippin' Nash just put on Jericho!
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on July 28, 2003, 11:38 PM
Okay, I watched most of RAW muted tonight, because I was talking to an old friend I haven't seen in a few years.

PROS:
-Shane O'Mac has returned!
-Molly Holly wins the Women's Title back. IMO, they should have built up Gail Kim a little bit more before giving her a title.
-The opening match was good (Booker/Steiner vs. Christian/Test), even though the feuds are stale and boring.
-Goldberg vs. Richards was good. I like seeing Goldberg as a monster, it makes him seem like a major threat to Triple H.
-The Goldberg/Evolution promo was good. Flair vs. Goldberg next week should be good.
-Highlight Reel was okay. I'm not a big fan of Orton, but the segment was decent.

CONS:
- Why was Vince even there? He served no purpose.
- It looks like Booker/Christian and Test/Steiner might carry over to Summerslam.
- Tag Title match was pretty boring and the crowd apparently didn't care for it either.
- Rico vs. Venis was pointless.
- The Coach was horrible again (Good thing I couldn't hear much).
-- The ending was downright dreadful. Kane, the monster, gets punked by Austin and then whupped by Shane? WTF? He was made to look like a b****. Tonight's episode set his character back a few steps instead of pushing it forward like in recent weeks.

Overall, the show was lacking. I give it a C- due to bad booking and hardly any storyline advancement. Like I said, I didn't hear most of the show, so that might have messed the review up some.

RAW Thoughts:

PROS:
- RVD vs. Jericho was great. They gave it time to develop, and it was just as good as their King of the Ring 2002 match.
- Hurricane vs. Christian was a pretty good match for the time it was given. It was more of a skit though.
- The Rosey Super-Hero-In-Training gimmick is actually pretty funny.
- The Women's match was okay. Gail Kim's heel turn was pretty predictable, but at least the fans can boo her now. I'm thinking that this set up a Lita return at SS.
- Shane's bumps and the flag shot by D-Von to the Frenchie were all sick!
- J.R. is returning next week! :)
- The Elimination Chamber match at SS should be good, but Orton should be replaced by Flair.
- Goldust and Storm should make a good team.

CONS:
- The main event was pretty lame. That Kane interference was obvious and everyone knew what was gonna happen before it happened.
- Coach was terrible for yet another Monday night.
- Bubba vs. Renee Dupree was an okay match, but very predictable.
- Why the hell did they job Steiner to Randy Orton? Feed him mid-carders, not semi-main-eventers who were just challenging for the World Championship. Let me make it clear that I DO NOT CARE FOR RANDY ORTON.
- Why can't they just end the Test/Steiner feud?
- Goldberg/Flair was an OK match but had a VERY poor and predictable ending. Why couldn't they just let the two put on a good match?
- What's the deal with the Hair vs. Hair match? Everybody knows that Jericho is gonna lose. IMO, we have enough bald guys running around WWE right now.***

Overall, the show was okay. I'll give it a C+ this week.

Also, I'm looking forward to the Elimination Chamber match, but is just a way for Triple H to not have to job to Goldberg cleanly?

Holy frickin' cow.

Lords of Pain.net is reporting that Booker T hurt his back on the Austrailian tour last week, and lost the IC Title to Christian at a House Show on Saturday. The original plan for Summerslam was to have a fatal 4 way between Booker, Christian, Stiener, and Test. Now that Christian has the belt, the current plan is to have Christian defend against Hurricane at Summerslam (!!!).  :o

I'd like to say that this will be my last Monday Night RAW review, because I start school on Wednesday. I won't be able to stay up late enough to write my review, so look for it every Tuesday.

RAW Thoughts:

PROS:
-The Goldust/Lance Storm segment was hilarious. Why not let the two wrestle?
-The Rosey/Hurricane segment/match was funny as well.
-Goldberg vs. Flair was a pretty good match.
-JR is back!
-Bischoff vs. Kane was booked perfectly. It hyped the RVD/Kane match, the Shane/Bischoff match, and added more to Kane's character.
-Highlight Reel was awesome. The best part of the show IMO. Jericho had better win the Hair vs. Hair match.
-Triple H did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!
-Christian actually got a clean win. Hopefully they will make him look like a strong champ this time.

CONS:
-The opening segment was pretty useless/boring.
-Mixed Tag Match was okay, but I wish that they would just end the Test/Steiner feud. It's boring, and Steiner has no mic skills "Your mass is bline!"
-Women's Triple Threat was pointless. I just know that this is setting up Lita's return.
-Dudley's vs. La Resistance was pointless, just building up for the SS match. What's with the new tights?
-Where was Theodore Long?
-Orton looked like Stacy Keibler in those HBK shorts.
-The Spike TV logo was an eyesore. I hope that they don't plug the network every week.
-Why have Bischoff/McMahon Part II? It was pretty weak the firt time. The only difference is that Shane will take a major bump.

Overall, I give the show a B-. It was pretty good at times, and it was pretty bad at times. 2 weeks until Summerslam and only 3 matches have been announced?
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: roguestormtrooper on August 12, 2003, 01:18 AM
Yeah,  it looks like Booker is going to be out a liitle while...  It must be serious for him to drop the belt at a house show.

I am sooooooooooooooo glad that J.R. is back! :o  I couldn't take another week of Coach commentating...  

Also,  I read that HHH is going to retain the belt at SummerSlam and there's supposed to be a rematch at the following Raw PPV between him and Goldberg.
Anyone else have any news or thoughts?

I couldn't agree more,  Steiner/Test and Dudleys/LaResistance is getting very very old.  Just bring on SS and let's get it over with.   I can't wait to see what they do with Golddust and Lance Storm...  It was very funny tonight...  "Congratulations on your big a-a-a-a-a**" ;D

Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on August 18, 2003, 11:37 PM
Well would you look at that, I had time to do my RAW Review! :)

PROS:

- RVD vs. Christian was a pretty good match. Plus, RVD took some sick bumps.
- The S.*.*.*. segment was pretty funny this week.
- The Coach is gone
- Jericho carried (literally) Nash to an OK match, and won to boot!
- The Women's match was decent. Plus Gail Kim's new suit looked good.

CONS:

- Bischoff/Linda. 'Nuff said. I don't even want to begin to describe all the things wrong with that. They never finished the Bischoff/Steph Halloween Kiss angle, what makes you think that they will finish this one? I hope that this goes into another WCW vs. WWE angle with Bisch as WCW's leader, but that will never happen.
- The highlight reel was a big mess that was pretty lame. We all knew what was coming, just like it does before every ppv.
- Test/Steiner v. 1,234,567.0 was un-neccesary
- The "strip show" was an insult to wrestling fans. WTF was that? A couple jobbers get all excited seeing a woman that is owned by another co-worker dance? At least try and make it seem somewhat realistic.
- Goldberg/Orton - meh. Who cares? Everyone knew Goldberg was gonna make quick work of him. Once again, I will say that Orton is being crammed down our throats.
-Why show Storm and Goldust if they didn't even do anything?
-Nash looked like the 1999 Jeff Jarrett at the end.

All in all, this was the basic filler RAW, which did nothing but hye Summerslam. I'll give it a  D+ this week.

RAW s*cked last night. Plain and simple. The whole Bishoff/Linda McMahon bit was just wrong. I could have gone my whole life without hearing Bishoff complementing Linda on being an "ample bussomed woman" (insert dry-heaving noise here).

I'd also like to congratulate HHH for managing to go an entire month without defending the title. Injury or not, he needs to drop the title Sunday. Booker T went down with an injury and they stripped the IC title from him faster than JR can say "slobberknocker".

Nash is scheduled to do a movie which required him to have short hair,  thus the Hair vs. Hair match.  It probaly also required the blondehair,  which I don't like.  

I just think the WWE is in a slump right now...  I'm sure it's going to pick up and soon I hope.  As far as the Bischoff/Linda angle,  I'll reserve judgement for now...  I think SS is going to tell alot on what direction things are going to go for the next couple of months...  Hopefully things pick up.

Was there a point to the whole Brock Lesnar/Zach Gowen Match?  I can see Vince building a good heel faction with Brock,  A-Train and the Big Show.

I think that the whole Benoit/Guerrero angle is picking up nicely,  especially throwing Tajiri and Rhyno in the mix.  Can anyone see a four way match for the US title in the near future?  I can...
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on August 24, 2003, 11:07 PM
No, I did not order this event.

Summerslam Results

La Resistance def. Dudley Boyz to retain the World Tag Team Titles

Undertaker def. A-Train

Shane McMahon def. Eric Bischoff

Eddie Guerrero def. Rhyno, Chris Benoit, and Tajiri to retain the U.S. Championship

Kurt Angle def. Brock Lesnar to retain the WWE Championship

Kane def. Rob Van Dam

Triple H def. Goldberg, Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho, Kevin Nash, and Randy Orton to retain the World Heavyweight Championship.

 MY THOUGHTS:
What the hell was this? No title changes, and every single match was predictable. Fatal 4 Way and WWE Title matches sounded like they were the best all night. Why were Goldberg and Triple H the last two left in the Chamber when they did absolutely nothing prior to that? Yawn. Next week is the one year anniversary of the Title on RAW, meaning that The Gay-me has held the title for 11 friggin months.

And last but not least, why did they decide to turn Coach heel? ???

Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on August 26, 2003, 12:12 AM
RAW Review.

PROS:

- The ending was pretty good. Very horror movie-esque: "Burn in hell." Classic.
- The Opening segment with Goldberg/HHH was pretty good. At least they're building a feud.
- The women's match was decent this week.
- I'm enjoying Coach's heel turn. He is actually somewhat entertaining now.
- Rosey/Hurricane/Goldust/Storm segments were entertaining again this week. Why not let them wrestle?

CONS:

- Triple H's shoot on Smackdown was unnecessary. If Angle is a "Paper Champion", then Triple H must be a "Paper-Mache(sp?) Champion".  
- I respect Vince McMahon's character and his often great acting, but sheesh. He and his family are taking over both shows with their own personal feuds. Let's see some wrestlers Vince. It's also sad to see them take over the aptly-named "Highlight Reel," which has been the highlight of RAW as of late. Just rename it "The McMahon/Kliq Show". Can we go at least one week without seeing a McMahon?
- Why must Mark Henry return? At least he's with Teddy Long though, and maybe he can get him over. Maybe.
- No point in Orton vs. Maven. Just let Orton feud with Michaels already.
- Dudleys/Resistance = stale, dull, boring, etc. La Resistance's gimmick is old. This war stuff is old. It just reeks of 1998, I'm sorry. If I want politics, I'll turn on CNN or MSNBC.
- Christian needs help to beat Lawler? Oookaay.
- Where was Stacy? And Test? And Steiner?

Overall, RAW was borderline okay this week. I'll give it a C+. Not bad, but not good either.

Post by: roguestormtrooper on August 26, 2003, 07:54 PM
I think WWE was waiting to see how things would turn out with Goldberg.  There were rumors that his stay may be cut short as WWE was unhappy with his performance.  Now it seems the fans are starting to accept him and his performances are better.  My prediction,  he will beat HHH at Unforgiven for the title.  Finally,  a new Champion.  

Christian is beggining to bore the hell out of me...  I hope he drops the title soon.

On related notes,  maybe Kane will put his mask back on... :P  I also really like the Goldust and Storm angle.  They should put them in the ring soon,  but don't forget mini-dust.  Mark Henry and Teddy Long should be interesting.  And finally,  Hurricane and Rosey is hillarious...  Good angle.

Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: Diddly on September 1, 2003, 11:41 PM
Alright, time to review RAW.

PROS:

- The Main Event was pretty good this week. Michaels and Goldberg both brought their A-game and Triple H didn’t seem slowed (further) by his injury (plus Ric is always ON) and it made for a good match.
- Jericho vs. Christian was a pretty good TV match, but why didn't the ref look to see if Christian was holding the ropes? Is Christian's gimmick the RAW version of Eddie Guerrero's?
- The Women’s tag match was decent this week.
- The segment with Kane sticking the jumper cables on Shane’s nuts had me rolling on the floor in tears (That was the only pro in this segment IMO).
- It’s good to see RVD back. Also, I liked that they announced a match for next week already (Kane vs. RVD cage match).
- Coach is smart for wearing a UT jersey.
- La Resistance vs. Hurri*.*.*.*. was OK.

CONS:

- Kane was thrown into a DUMPSTER OF FIRE, yet he only has injuries on his ARM AND WRIST. WTF ARE THE WRITERS SMOKING?!?! If Kane can no-sell his burn injuries, then why didn't JR?
- Lawler vs. Coach was boring and pointless. I see no potential in this feud or Al Snow’s heel turn. I’d rather see them spend this time on a more deserving talent (ie. Venis, Storm, Richards, etc.). HeAT announcers vs. RAW announcers is just a bad idea, which brings us to...
- Unforgiven - Coach vs. JR: Why?
- The Jericho/Christian/Austin segment was too long and slow, IMO.
- Why must Vince be on both shows every week?
- I am sick of this Resistance/Dudleys feud. When will it end?
- Speaking of never ending feuds, when will the Test/Steiner feud end?

Overall, RAW was okay this week. It was better than last week, which is good. I'll give it a B- this week.

Spike took a NASTY and SICK bump tonight, but all of the sites are reporting that he is okay...

Anybody else notice that all of the Unforgiven matches are Gimmick matches?

RAW Review:

PROS:

- The Cage match was pretty good tonight. What happened to the "Escape Only" rules?
- Lance Storm was finally allowed to wrestle.
- The ending segment with Goldberg and Evolution was also pretty good.
- "JR The Hutt" :D

CONS:

- Austin's speech was boring and repetitive (Beer talk, interuption, stunner, more beer).
- The 10 Man Tag match was a clusterf***. Spike took a bump, and I hope the Frenchies are punished for it. Mark Henry looks like he was also injured (again).
- Announcer feud is kind of boring.
- The mystery partners weren't much of a mystery. I was at least expecting HBK to run in at the end and save Goldberg.
- Test/Steiner feud. Hopefully this will end once and for all at Unforgiven.

As you can see, WWE did a lousy job of trying to compete with the NFL. I'll give RAW a C+ for a decent, but not good, show.

Post by: Diddly on September 16, 2003, 12:03 AM
RAW Review:

PROS:

- Opening segment was very good.
- Jericho vs. RVD was a good match for the time it was given. The Triple Threat at Unforgivencould be a MOTY canditate, IMO.
- The Goldberg Hype segments were good, though I think they could've shown more of his WCW past, but this is WWE we're talking about. :-X
- Women's match was decent, and Lita is back. She should leave the Twist of Fate to Matt Hardy, though.
- The HBK/Orton segment was okay. It might be one of the best matches on the card. Why was Maven involved? Setting up a possible heel turn?

CONS:

- The Triple H Ego Trip, I mean "Party" was dull and boring. You could tell that the crowd hated it. Once again, HHH destroys the credibility of a wrestler by making fun of him and his past. Yawn. I hope he has to take a long vacation to heal his groin.
- Moolah vs. Victoria was pointless. The RKO afterwards was so predictable. WWE, PLEASE stop the shock factor. It doesn't work like it did in 1998! >:(
- Spike Dudley vs. Rob Conway was a dull squash match. Their feud is really boring, and I just can't wait for it to end.
- Speaking of never ending feuds, let's hope that the other boring feud (Steiner vs. Test) ends at Unforgiven. The match between Test and Val Venis was only booked to further the feud. I bet that Stacy swerves us and turns on Steiner this Sunday.
- Contract signing was a waste of time. We all know that Shane will get killed at Unforgiven.
- The commentator feud is just really gay. Please let it end!

I thought that RAW was decent this week, but it was still pretty bad. I give it a C+ this week. I hope that the product picks up after Unforgiven (when HHH FINALLY loses the belt).

Test def. Scott Steiner after Stacy Keibler accidentally hit Steiner with a chair

Randy Orton def. Shawn Michaels after interference from Ric Flair

Lita and Trish Stratus def. Molly Holly and Gail Kim

Kane def. Shane McMahon after Shane fell off the titantron and through the stage

Christian def. Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam after Christian hit RVD with the belt, retaining the Intercontinental Title

Coach and Al Snow def. JR and Jerry Lawler after interference from Jericho

Goldberg def. Triple H after a Jackhammer to win the World Heavywieght Championship

MY THOUGHTS: YES! YES! NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION! Seriously, the show was mediocre at best. All matches were watchable except for the Commentators Tag Match. They had better keep JR and King at the announcer's booth, or RAW ratings will just slipped. HHH FINALLY lost the title, and there can finally be new feuds! I wonder who Goldberg's first opponent will be? I give the show a B-.

Actually, dustrho, I thought I was just in here talking to myself! Good to know at least one other person is reading! Might I suggest taping the shows? ;)

RAW Review

PROS:

- Goldberg vs. Jericho was an excellent match. They both put on one hell of a match, and it really looked good as well. Excellent.
- Snow and Coach were pretty good at commentary as the show went on. At the beginning, I felt like I was watching Heat.
- The Rock's segment tonight was hilarious. I'm going to go see "The Rundown" now. Please, Rock, come back to wrestling!
 - Christain vs. RVD was an okay match. It was great until the end, which I'll get into later. Hopefully, the Ladder Match next week will be as good or better than the RVD/Eddie Guerrero one from a year ago.
- The women’s tag match was pretty good. The women look good in the ring, and it was better than what we've seen recently. I dare WWE to show a Lita/Gail Kim match, just so we can see how much they botch moves.
- I enjoyed the Test/Steiner movie, yet I still prey that this feud will end. It has gone from April to September. That's way too long! The new "I own you" part looks to be entertaining, but nothing more than that.
- The Evolution/Cade/Jindrak/Maven 6 man tag was very weel done. I was expecting a total squash, but HHH actually sold some offense. Woah! Excellent job by everyone. This is where Triple H should stay for a while.
- S.*.*.*./Hurricane vs. La Resistance, was an OK match. Nothing really spectacular, but at least the tag division has more than 2 teams now.

CONS:

- Triple H is back and talking about how Goldberg will keep his title warm for him. The sad part about this is that it's true.
- Mark Henry (One half of Team Heatless) squashing Tommy Dreamer was just pointless. Henry no sold almost everything, and then won with his "Fata** Slam" (Which recieved no response from the crowd). I did laugh at Teddy Long's President speech, though.
- The belt finish of the IC Title match was stupid. Must every champion DQ themselves by hitting the challenger with the belt?
- Commentators? Wrestling? AGAIN!?!? END THIS FEUD!!!!!

All in all, RAW was a very great show, much better than what we've seen the past several weeks. Everything was great, except for the Mark Henry match. This show gets an A-. HHH losing the title was exactly what RAW needed to improve.

B) Wait until Friday and review both RAW and Smackdown

My Thoughts: It seems as if the new PPV trend is no title changes on the joint PPVs. All in all, the PPV was pretty decent. All of the matches were pretty watchable, though the RAW elimination match seems like a waste of time now since it was only used to try to get Randy Orton over. I did enjoy the Brock Lesnar/Goldberg confrontation, and I wonder if that will set up a match between the two in the future. Speaking of RAW/Smackdown stuff, I hope they explain why Kane help Vince beat 'Taker, since Kane is a RAW wrestler. And I'm glad that Triple H lost.

I'm giving the 2003 Survivor Series a B+ for a decent show.

The Taker/Kane thing is simple. Remember when Vince said to Kane "What would I do, with a monster in my hands?" got that evil grin, and left it? Well, I knew especialy after the skit about Father and Son fighting brothers...

HE DID IT!!!

(http://home.comcast.net/~negatech1/wrestling/chris_benoit_autographed.jpg)

This man is YOUR World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion.

In a sport that is often contrived and of course pre-determined, never has there been a more exciting moment for me as a fan than this moment as THE BEST wrestler in the business today is finally declared the World Champion!!

Having met the guy myself a couple times, he's always seemed to be a true down to earth kinda guy. Having seen the work ethic he has shown over the years in Japan, Mexico, ECW, WCW, and the WWE, no one is more deserving of being called the Professional Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion more than....

CHRIS BENOIT!!!!!!!

Full results of WrestleMania XX with some notes from me about the show are below....

John Cena defeats the Big Show for the US Title (Quick match so as to not show the faults of either guy)

Booker T/RVD retain the RAW Tag Titles over Dudleyz, La Resistance, and Cade/Jindrak (ugly match which should have been a tables match or something, had almost no heat)

Christian over Chris Jericho due to Stratus-ference (Christian's biggest win ever, Trish's heel turn looks sweet, Jericho showing he isn't like one of those kliq-diqs)

Evolution over Rock-N-Sock Connection when Orton pins Foley (The right call based on all the build-up, even though the only over guy for Evo was Flair :P)

Torrie/Sable over Stacy/Jackie in what became a lingerie match (We want puppies!!!)

Chavo Guerrero retains the Cruiserweight title in the Cruiserweight Open after pinning Rey Rey at the end. (Poor pacing and set up of the 1 on 1's, right decision for who won though)

Goldberg over Brock Lesnar, afterwards Austin hits stunners on each of them (The crowd hated both men pretty much, though Lesnar got the You Sold Out chants way too much that it slowed the match)

Rikishi/Scotty 2 Hotty over TWGTT, APA, and Bashams to retain Smackdown tag titles. (TWGTT were robbed!!!)

Victoria over Molly Holly to retain Women's title and shave Molly bald (for real too)

Eddy Guerrero retains the WWE Title by pinning Kurt Angle. (Sneakiest world title retain in history, the right decision too)

Undertaker defeats Kane, as Taker returns with Paul Bearer and a modern version of his original gimmick (Old-school reborn rocked!)

CHRIS BENOIT wins the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP by making HHH tap to the Crossface. Oh yeah HBK was around somewhere bleeding like the stuck pig he is. (Greatest thing ever, Benoit is the man, and HHH actually acted like a man by taking the job cleanly)

Eddy Guerrero congratulates Chris Benoit and the show ends with the two World Champs in the ring celebrating.

Best Wrestlemania EVER!!!

"You sold out!"-The Crowd, to Brock!

The best match of the night, IMO was the Tripple threat, but my favorite match was the Kane vs Undertaker match, right from the start. Kanes Pyro hits, and the city bursts into flame! That was a great touch. I almost creamed myself when when we heard "Oh yes!" and the creepy monks came out with torches.

Is it me, or did taker look Bad ass (Pardon the pun) or what? The long black trench coat. The long hair. The hat. The TX on his pants. Thats so frigging great. I now have a reason to watch SD again!

I think you mean to say that the wrestlers used to work both shows eh? Seeing that's its been two years for some of these guys to work the other show and seeing that the viewership has partially split along with the brands, we could be seeing some interesting new pairings. Though it does take a way from the established identities of each show, the WWE's poor booking in the last year has prevented a ton of new stars from being made to cover for the losses of Lesnar, Goldberg, and what appears to be Angle, alongside the semi-activeness of Rock, Foley, Austin, Taker, and HHH. Hopefully they will balance the main event levels properly and keep established groups on each show such as the cruisers on Smackdown and the women's division on RAW.

Preferably I would like to see the main event level on each show to look like this:

RAW: Benoit, HHH, Michaels, Cena, Christian, Booker, and Kane
SD: Eddy, Angle, Jericho, RVD, Big Show, Edge, and Taker

Setup as such to suit the strengthes of each worker alongside with the strong points of each show. RAW being the rough-house raunchier show, SD being the more smooth technical show.

They used to switch back and forth all the time.

Nothing unusual.

Cactus Jack is Com'n back! randy Orton is going to DIE.

Rick Flare has got to be nuts going against Sheldon Bejiman, he's not exactly in the best shape. Speaking of Evolution, it seems that Batista is the only one who DOESN'T have worth while match.

Hopefully Dino Man AKA  Rabid Wolverine  will keep his title at backlash this Sunday, although HHH and HBK are probly going to fight harder than they did at WMXX for the heavyweight title.

I don't know how The sexy beast is going to beat both Trish and Christian, but I think he can pull it off.

Lita and Victoria (who cares, it's two hotties in a short amount of clothing pounding on eachother) I'm good.

  I have to say this. Tonite 4/15 on Smackdown i was waching Rico wrestle.... i forget who actually. Man he was making me laugh bad. I think this was his best outing w/ his antics ya know. I was dying ! Messed up.

   I have been a WWF/WWE fan for years. I met Hogan 3 times, the Ultimate Warrior 3 times, the L.O.D (  rest Hawk's soul !) once. I worked out w/ the Bushwackers doing back and biceps. All they were talking about was going out to drink when they were done working out and it was fairly early still ! I out bench pressed Hillbilly Jim while we were spotting eachother. I pressed 60 lbs more. That was cool considering i was a junior in highschool and happened before my 2ng inguinal hernior in less than two years.
   I saw the Ultimate Warrior working out w/ his wife. HOTT she was ! All the juice heads were checking her out. They were doing squats. He noticed that all the roid heads were staring so he grabbed a 45 lb plate and hummed it into the wall and then stared all down. Everyone turned their heads ! Too funny !
   I have been to many maches in the Boston Garden. Once a month they would come on a Sat. mostly. Then the same when it became the Fleet Center but that started to slow down to once every few months and now how ever they do it. Similar i think. I have not been to  WWF/WWE event since Skip, Zip and Sunny were around. The Body Adonas. I'd love to check out some events but sad couse noone i know wants to go anymore. It's like what the hell ! Anyhow, wrestling rulz along w/ boxing and football and certain karate.

Now time for him to crush HHH, take the World Title, then pop Orton's head like a pimple.

In case anyone else was interested here's the rest of the Royal Rumble 2005 results:

* Edge over Shawn Michaels
* Undertaker over Heidenreich in a Casket Match
* JBL pins Kurt Angle in Triple-Threat Smackdown World Title Match that included The Big Show
* HHH over Randy Orton in RAW World Title Match
* Batista eliminates John Cena to win the Royal Rumble and main event title match at Wrestlemania 21

vomit profusely

Wrestlemania this year has the potential to be good or crappy, really only 2 standout matches in Angle/Michaels and Eddy/Rey. While the 6 man ladder match has some quality talent, it will be a messy spotfest which will be exciting but probably will leave the viewer lacking. Cena/JBL will be a punchfest, good for brawling but not much else. Same goes for HHH/Batista, but the roof will blow if DAVE~! wins. And Austin on Piper's Pit will be fun, just to see if they're both wacked out of their mind. Won't be able to catch the show, but hoping to hear some good stuff come out of it.

Post by: CorranHorn on April 3, 2005, 11:57 PM
Yeah sounded like a better show than I would have expected. Here's the full results....

*Rey Mysterio d. Eddy Guerrero (via hurricanrana)
*Edge d. Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Christian, & Kane in the 6-way Ladder match for a future RAW World Title shot.
*Akebono d. The Big Show in their sumo match
*Hulk Hogan saved Eugene from a beatdown from Hassan & Daivari
*Undertaker d. Randy Orton (via tombstone piledriver)
*Woman's Title match: Trish Stratus (c) d. Christy Hemme (via chick kick)
*Steve Austin gave Stone Cold stunners to Carlito and Roddy Piper in Piper's Pit
*Kurt Angle d. Shawn Michaels (via ankle lock tapout)
*Smackdown World Title match: John Cena d. JBL (c) to win the title.
*RAW World Title match: DAVE~! Batista d. HHH (c) to win the title.

Was surprised that they went with both title changes tonight, thought they'd be concerned one would overshadow the other. Was equally surprised to see Edge win the ladder match, they've already done his title chase, what more can they do?
Title: Re: The Official "WWE" Thread
Post by: CorranHorn on April 13, 2005, 02:16 AM
Well WWE did some spring cleaning this week, dropping half a dozen people...

Rhyno - Got axed for making an ass of himself at the hotel during WM21 weekend. Argued with his wife in the lobby and smashed up a potted plant. Not a huge loss, while slightly popular, he just wasn't going to get much of a push unless they brought back the Hardcore title.

Matt Hardy - The biggest of the layoffs, likely got canned for making public the affair between Edge and Lita, which is ridiculous but the E has a strict abhorrence of the net. A shame really, cause he was a solid midcard guy who could work a good match with most wrestlers and would have given a boost to the IC or US title scene.

Paul Bearer - Yeah even after getting buried in concrete, he was still on the payroll. Obviously they needed to trim the fat here.  :D

Jesus - If you blinked you missed him, he was Carlito's bodyguard on Smackdown at the end of 04, but got injured and had to have surgery. Don't know much about him other than it's way lame to fire a guy while he's out with an injury caused while working for you.

Chilly Willy - Former ECW guy, was in OVW on a developmental deal. Likely just wasn't what they were looking for.

Molly Holly - Word is, she asked to be released as she wasn't happy with how her career was going in the E. While I can agree with that, seeing that  she shaved herself bald at WMXX in a hot angle, and they NEVER followed up with it. But she has little options in the US, women's wrestling isn't that big and the only possible place here to go would be TNA which has no women's division. She could hit Japan where apparently the women are all the rage.

Now only if they would let go of Heidenreich, Snitsky, Dorkboy and Shawn Michaels, the cleaning could be complete....

Wrestling has lost one of its best and most popular performers in the last 5 years. I met Eddie Guerrero in 2000, ironically at the Brian Pillman Memorial show, and even though this was before he cleaned himself up, he was a class act guy. He ook the time to talk to me and my buddy for a while as well as the other fans, a very sad loss. The irony in this is that tonight he was likely to win the World Championship at the Smackdown taping to relieve an injured Batista of the title.

Sorry Jason, I know that sucks for you as a fan too...  It'd be like me reading one of my favorite NHL'ers died or some such.  I thought at first this might be a joke/storyline thing but I guess not.

Report: Wrestler strangled wife, smothered son

A law enforcement official close to the investigation tells The Associated Press that pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife and smothered his son before hanging himself in the weight room of the family's suburban Atlanta home. Authorities also said they are investigating whether steroids may have been a factor in the deaths.

link (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/more/06/25/wrestler.dead.ap/index.html?cnn=yes)

And seriously, what's a murder/suicide/violent crime story without a friend or acquaintance adding this line:

Yeah the tribute really isn't necessary anymore now that it's come to light that he was a suicidal, homicidal maniac.

I think the wife probably told him she wanted a divorce, was taking the kid, and leaving him.  So he killed them both then killed himself.

It probably wasn't over something like dinner not being ready on time.

The police seem to have nailed this down to a matter of it being a murder/suicide thing which is just horrible...  It's excuseless if that was the actual case.  It's horrible really...  And sadly it makes a man many people liked as a celebrity, and if it is true it turns him into a horrid monster.  No excuses really.  It still has to hurt for the people that were his fans too as a double whammy that the guy's not only dead now but he also has turned out to be a man capable of horrible things I guess... 

So sad for his wife and son...  You have to feel bad for the parents on both sides.  You never know about people I guess.  It's like that cop in Ohio that murdered his gf...  You're supposed to admire that guy too, and then that **** happens.

Beniot was always one of my absolute favorites in wrestling. I hadn't watched in ages, but tuned in a couple of weeks ago because I wanted to see if Beniot had an interesting angle going for him. Hopefully a little more comes to light about why he did this... I had always heard he was one of the coolest dudes in the business.

All the roid rage stuff is annoying as ****, though.

Somehow it just seems worse (if that's possible) knowing he used a "move" previously designed to entertain people as a way to kill a member of his own family.

Congrats...it looked to be a good show.

I have been to 100's of these events over the years for WCW, ECW, & WWF/WWE. I have been to PPV's for all and TV tapings for all. The only one I really would like to see in my lifetime is WRESTLEMANIA!!!

It was cool. To be honest the best part was that I took my father and he had a great time. I never saw him smile so much. If any of you are close to older italian men you know that seeing them smile is a rarity.  ;D

Was a good match as matches go...  This coming from a general non-fan who goes just for something to do.  No blading though...  Who'da thunk it?

I know boxing and WWE aren't the same thing, but I didn't see a boxing thread nor think therefore it needed one started, anyway...............

Man I hope Cotto beats Mayweather. Then he will have no reason to avoid Pacquiao.

Judges were wrong. Pacquio won. But how fun to watch boxing where people actually fought. Fun free night.
