  1. WWE, until recently, was the only outlet to watch pro wrestling on TV every week. To clarify, comparing wrestling to other TV programs is a bit of apples and oranges. The Simpsons started to suck, but it wasn't the only comedy show on TV. People had other shows to watch that provided simliar entertainment. When WWF was shitty, we had WCW and vice versa. Now its WWE or TNA in a poor timeslot. WWE is more accessible to people who want to watch wrestling.
  2. Not to mention most of these matches are right off WWE DVD releases. The only matches on there that I want are Backlund-Bret and Taker's debut at SS 90.
  3. Storyline wise, there was no reason for HHH to go over either. People bitch about HHH's workrate but what really pisses me off is how wrestling is supposed to be faces getting revenge on heels but HHH attacks people and they never get revenge. After the savage beating he gave Flair, there's no reason for him to win the match.
  4. Everyone on IRC is raving about Joey Styles, hopefully Vince will make a rare right choice and hire him full time.
  5. I just used my regular web-based email.
  6. No, that was my whole question. It just opens a player window.
  7. When you click on that it tells you that you already have access and don't need to pay.
  8. Is there a way to save these matches?
  9. What's even funnier on top of that is his suggestion that Kennedy will be the bigger star than Orton is most likely correct, but he couldn't have been more wrong in his reasoning why.
  10. What's funny is you can get the same info Wade provided by going to WWE.com and looking at the backstage pics from Taboo Tuesday.
  11. I'm sure Styles will take it if they offer enough cash. WWE's the one that wanted a pretty boy know-nothing announcer, it must kill them to have to make this deal....which itself speaks volumes, doesn't it?
  12. He looked to be in good shape, lord knows the Goldust suit doesn't lend itself toward hiding excess body weight.
  13. Letting Goldust just wander around backstage creeping people out would be better TV than anything on the last month of Raws.
  14. It could be, since Dustin is still capable of being a good worker, but I don't have any faith in WWE do to anything with him. He'll probably collect a few paychecks and get told "creative" doesn't have anything for him.
  15. This is amazing on several levels: 1. It means WWE realized they fucked themselves over. 2. Joey has previously stated he didn't want to do any non-ECW related work with WWE. 3. Putting Styles on RAW would reverse WWE's standard of not allowing people with knowledge of wrestling to do play by play.
  16. I love how they take all her pictures out of the Taboo Tuesday promotions, then bash those evil internet reports saying she got let go. I guess it was just the WWE not wanting to promote someone they know won't be at the show. That'd be poor business.... Speaking of, I expect the WWE net-bashing machine to go full blast soon since the company's hit rock bottom and booked itself into all sorts of corners.
  17. Since they shitcanned JR, they need someone who can get things over behind the mic.
  18. Doc Hendrix sucked, but if they let Hayes be Hayes he can be awesome.
  19. It's funny, they need a soild heel announcer and Paul Heyman WORKS FOR THE GODDAMN COMPANY, yet they'd never consider him because of his look. Same with Michael Hayes, he'd be an awesome commenatator, but no.
  20. If Christian had a belt to lose before leaving, or an angle that needed finalizing, I could see him working w/o a contract to do right by the business. None of those are a factor and the company's treated him like utter shit, yet he's going to take one for the team at a throwaway PPV that's already been booked into oblivion? I guess it speaks of his character, but it probably also speaks that he's in the wrong profession.
  21. This whole JR/Coach/Austin/Batista/Goldust/Vader angle is quite possibly the biggest clusterfuck ever, and it's all because Vince thought he could wave some cash and get Mike Goldberg to leave UFC. The possibility of him turning Vince down was obviously never even considered since they had absolutely no backup plan in place. What sucks is Goldust still looks like he's in decent shape, yet he gets paired with Coach and a horribly out of shape and immobile Vader.
  22. Every report I've read said there is almost no extras in the big box at least, maybe the smaller sets have some.
  23. My question is how unwise is it for Christian to work without a contract? I'm about 99% sure these votes are worked, but if he ends up in the match, what if someone botches a move and he gets hurt? For that matter, what if he slips on his way to the shitter before the match? Wouldn't Vince be technically able to say he's not liable since he has no contract with him?
  24. It can't be stated enough that Ken Kennedy has been the biggest hit of the latest batch of OVW call-ups, and he's been the only one not cut off at the knees right out of the box. He's doing the exact same gimmick that got him over on OVW, and shock of shocks, it got him over in WWE. I've been a fan of his ever since I picked up OVW TV tapes, he has the charisma you need to get over in abundance.
  25. Tonight's show seemed to show that the wheels have completely fallen off the company. Guys are getting hurt, guys are quitting, angles are falling apart at the seams....if your intention was to ram a company into the ground, you couldn't plan it better than what's happening to WWE now.
