rovert Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't know what Natalya looks like, but I have no trouble believing she's perfectly fine looking. She just has weirder, wider shaped hips than the normal Diva really. She cant be accused of have a gut or anything like that by anyone's standard.

CodySave Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 The stuff with Michael Cole is getting really unusual now, even more-so than when he was just ripping on Daniel Bryan, but a regular face play-by-play commentator the rest of the show. Â Last night's RAW, he was a heel play-by-play man for at least 80% of the show, but then would still casually drop back into traditional play-by-play again. Â It's strange enough to have Cole doing play-by-play as a heel, especially with him "calling move, insult a couple times, calling move." But when he rips on someone for a lengthy period of time, only to completely change his tone and call the match straight for the next few minutes is jarring to the brain. Â I will say he's been wildly successful in my opinion as a totally hated heel and pulls it off better than I ever expected. Really, he's become almost too strong a heel commentator for any of his partners to respond back against or even for the betterment of the show. His brutal honesty on commentary can be really entertaining, but he's too successful at pointing out the flaws of the angles, wrestlers, etc. Â But at this point, they really need to make a decision - go full bore with Cole as a heel, because he's already close to being possibly one of the most hated heels on the show, or continue with him as the regular play-by-play commentator? Â Actually, I kept wondering last night "Why doesn't Cole just like Josh Mathews call the moves?" I think the whole heel Cole shtick would go much smoother that way.

CodySave Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just noticed that the documentary portion of the new Big Show DVD is available for viewing on Netflix instant streaming. I don't remember them releasing any prior WWE documentaries, especially before DVD set release, so maybe this is the start of a new trend. Â In recent months, they have released WWE Films movies within a couple weeks of release in theaters and DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck has been going on it has been a year  Desmond Wolfe has been hanging out backstage at the majority of the television tapings. One source noted that Wolfe shows up early in the day, visits with friends, and is usually gone by the time the tapings start. He remains under contract with TNA and is essentially out on medical leave with an undisclosed illnes Credit: PWTorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovert Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 Anyone here listen to the Formerly Creative podcast? Â Court Baurer and Dave Lagana told the story of WWE hiring a 60 year old writer Dave Mullen and insisting that he had to drive 6 hours from one show to another to test whether he could handle the biz. Lagana offered his own seat on the private plane to Mullen so that he would drive instead of Mullen but WWE refused that arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeCampbell Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 When did it become somewhat normal for the WWF/WWE Champion to lay down in non title and tag matches? Other than Miz and Rey, the only other person I remember doing it quite a bit was HHH, putting over RVD and Booker several times before winning the blowoff. Â The only other times I can recall the champion jobbing are Nash in a RAW six man from 1995 putting over Bulldog, and Shawn at IYH International Incident putting over Vader.

jdw Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 When did it become somewhat normal for the WWF/WWE Champion to lay down in non title and tag matches? Other than Miz and Rey, the only other person I remember doing it quite a bit was HHH, putting over RVD and Booker several times before winning the blowoff.  The only other times I can recall the champion jobbing are Nash in a RAW six man from 1995 putting over Bulldog, and Shawn at IYH International Incident putting over Vader. Hogan didn't.  I suspect on would look for Heel Champs, as they would be the more likely ones. Heading over the Graham's site...  Looking at the Savage-Warrior matches in 1989, Warrior never beat Savage in the non-title matches by pin. In fact, it looks like Savage seems to have won even the non-title ones via COR. Interesting.  Looking at Slaughter, he lost DQ/COR against Duggan... but ironically was winning the cage matches against Warrior where Slaughter was a "sub" for Savage. That is strange: they could have non-titled those and sent the fans home happy with a Warrior win. Wow... I even see a non-title cage match where Sarge won. There is one non-title cage match where Warrior got a "pin", which is odd for a WWF Cage match... could be a typo. A few Hogan-Slaughter matches when Hulk was in for a TV taping, and of course Hogan won via screw job.  Taker beat Davey Boy on his known defenses between SS '91 and Tuesday In Texas  Which gets you to Ric Flair.  The night after Rumble, he starts losing screw jobs to Hogan... and Piper as well (though they go back-and-forth with who wins the screwjob)... and an occassional Savage. Then starting in February they begin running Hogan & Piper vs Flair & Sid matches, and this where Hogan gets his pins over Hogan in their feud. Pins him left and right. Piper also beats Flair like a drum in non-title cage matches. It's kind of funny: they won't run non-title cage matches between Hogan-Flair to let Hogan kick his ass, but Roddy is beating him like a drum. Of course Hogan gets the pins in the title matches.  Basically from Rumble to Mania, Ric Flair is Ric Flair: bitch champ who gets his ass kicked. And folks wonder why he and Savage didn't draw after Mania?  Wait... I do see at least one win by Flair in a cage match: Shawn interfered to help him win.  Same thing started up after he regained the title from Savage: did a screw job loss to Taker that's out there on tape.  That was a different era, and probably not exactly what Mike means. They did a pretty good job of keeping that off TV, and the Raw/SD era started having tons of title matches on TV. My guess would be to again look in two directions:  * Heel Champs doing non-title jobs * Face Champs doing it  Heels likely started it first, then we got the Faces doing it.  John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
