Watching NXT. For a second I thought that Buddy Murphy was Chris Sabin.
There will be total non stop action in that one
I wonder where Rockstar Spud gets his suits from?
The reason why the late 2002-2003 Smackdown show worked was, as with all Heyman booking creations, had it’s own identity. They focused it on these 6 guys and later Brock and Angle at the top of the card, and focus on the in-ring product. It worked back then and it is still highly remembered. It was focused on guys who were good workers putting on good matches on every episode and their specific pay-per-view.
Personally I am in favor of one unified champion, but man there were positives to having one champion for each brand. When it was booked right.
After 2005 when every champion would just randomly pop-up on Raw, the destruction of brand PPVs, and then it was made clear that the Smackdown title meant less than the Raw title that was when we started clamoring for one belt. If you are going to have a title for each show then you must enforce a very hard roster for each brand. If guys pop up all over the place then you just made the reason for two belts redundant.
-yeah we need a brand extension for the midcard guys and I’ve said that the best way to start is with Main Event. That show can’t just merely be the F-Level show of the brand and they just can’t book it with filler. It probably needs to be extended for another hour and used to develop the talent of the roster that is rotting on the vine. This is the main reason why I’m so pissed off with the demise of the New Nation. Those men would have been perfect draws on ME if they were booked right and made the occasional appearance on Smackdown or Raw. Main Event might as well be post Nitro-WCW Saturday Night; midcard filler.
But Cena has been booked into a corner that Hogan was booked into: you can’t always be the good guy for the kids forever. Sure you might be able to get new fans, but the old fans will grow up and grow tired of the Superman-Good Guy act. That is what has already happened. Remember those 6-8 year old Cena fans back in 06-08; they are all in high school or middle school. Teenagers don’t want to see that act Cena is playing forever.
However the double turn for Lesnar was absolutely terrible and was typical Russoitis of Swerve with no logic behind it. Hell the whole set up for the angle is just Russorific crap.
WHERE’S THE PORN!?!?!?
-Starhammer-
White on Black violence on TNA right now
Does anyone else feel like roman is becoming Cena-lite…winning against incredible odds and basically being booked like superman.
Considering one of Roman’s signature moves is called the Superman Punch…maybe.
Just waiting for a Dooms Day to wipe him out or a Lex to outsmart him.
I said this was going to happen as soon as the split the shield.
By Wresltmania the crowd is going to turn on reigns. Ambrose will be the one to usher in the new era. Whether reigns has the belt is irrelevant because no one will give a shit (outside of the initial pop of him taking down Lesnar)
12 years later the Dudleys and the Hardy’s still know how to tear the house down.
I probably said this before, but I’d like to see the Dudleys get one more WWE run as Heyman guys. Probably won’t end well, but at least we’d get Bubba Ray and Paul E cutting promos together.
D’Von is just waiting til Bubba Rays contract is up and they might do a quick tour of new japan and then head back to wwe for one last tour.
Bully Ray in the WWE would be awesome…if WWE would let him go all out.
Apparently Shelton Benjamin worked the entire G1 Climax tournament with an injured knee. He mentioned that regardless of whether he had competed or not he would need surgery so he went through the entire tournament with his knee injury because he didn’t want to disappoint the fans or the new japan office.
To those who didn’t watch it or follow the g1 tournament Benjamin competed in 11 matches all together. When asked how he managed that with his knee being as bad as it is he laughed and said “changed my style a bit for the tournament and was very careful”
Watching NXT. Fucking love it.
Bubba has said in tons of interviews that he would drop tna to go to wwe in a heart beat
Seriously i think kurt angle’s and bubba’s contracts run out in september as d’von is on a ppa deal like lashley and mvp.
I like you brah but got to disagree on Orton. Maybe now he is boring and repetitive, but Legend Killer/Legacy Orton was pure fucking greatness. I don’t think I ever hated but liked a Wrestler so much as Orton during that period.
Also 2K15 has Sting, I am obligated to purchase. I feel like the minority here with my bro love for STING though.
You aren’t though
Kinniku Buster just loves cruiserweights with abs who backflip in a sexual way
