lol @ Masked Kane reappearing. Nice hair.

I laughed so hard at that.

Fake Undertaker now Fake Kane? There's a reason to get Ted DiBiase back.

[Bad Blood]

ECW One Night Stand looks like it's gonna be awesome.

[simplephotographinthesun]

what the **** is this **** :lol:

[gaslight]

ECW:ONS looks cool but I bet they don't let either World Title drop :(.

[Frankie]

No RVD dropped th intercontinental title so it would look likely that maybe RVD will win it.

[gaslight]

I'd love for Cena to lose it to RVD but I dunno what they'd do with Cena if he wasn't champ, I don't think he'd follow RVD to the ECW show because no ECW fan wants to see Cena in there.

Yes.

The Rock wants a movie star's paycheck and Mick Foley is still around.

I have those 2 videos, its good stuff and I see what you're saying. Sadly, things have to change, for better or for worse. The Rock is now a movie star, Steve Austin is going to start doing films too and Foley has been back for quite a while now but not as Mankind or Dude Love. He was Cactus Jack briefly a couple years ago or so when him and Randy Orton were in rivalry.

I have recently bought

Invasion, Survivor Series 01, WWF Hardcore and WWF Action. Such great memories from 2001. Such a good year - when austin and kurt used to hug vince lmao.

Cactus jack vs HHH royal rumble 00 though that was awesome.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I've got WWF Hardcore too! That video OWNS.

[ChodaBoy]

Do any of you watch TNA?

I've just read a review of a show, and noticed The Heart Throbs were included, just goes to show that they really will accept ANYONE released from WWE. They were an abysmal tag team

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I don't watch it but one of my friend's says its pretty good.

[gaslight]

TNA is great, they focus more on the actual wrestling and have some great people on the roster. They don't have the money that WWE has to throw around on production values, but they make up for it with good workers. The average TNA match is better than the average WWE match.

I like the storylines more than the wrestling. Without the storylines I just sit there thinking about how two huge sweaty guys are hugging each other.

[Bad Blood]

I'm going to start watching TNA now, i've realised I can watch it regularly, unlike WWE.

[ChodaBoy]

Thats the good thing about living in the UK, WWE shows are on everyday - multiple times.

[gaslight]

They still don't televise TNA Impact here, but Foxtel have recently started carrying the TNA PPVs after so many people emailed/wrote in/called in telling them they should.

[Drahmen]

The Nash/Division X feud in TNA is ridiculous at the moment. Theyre taking the thing that makes them different to WWE and making it look weak at the hands of a washed up, injury prone wrestler. I actually dont mind Nash normally but this is just stupid booking on TNAs part.

[ThrashMaster27]

They should get Scott Hall back in TNA and start a feud between him and Kevin Nash. Could make it the "First to get injured or in trouble with the law" battle.

Hard to say who'd win that one.

[Drahmen]

Ha have you guys seen how fat Halls gotten?

[ChodaBoy]

W00t!

WWE vs ECW...

...And the satellite feed has failed :(

[Drahmen]

Yeah Big Show in ECW = ****

[simplephotographinthesun]

man, tazz and joey styles were ripping with their commentary.

[JACKROXYOU]

i was totally flipping when show jumped ship.


but i was annoyed to **** by tazz and king bitching at eachother

Its actually being done to put over one of the younger X-Division stars, I can't remember who but eventually one of them will pin Nash.

[gaslight]

I fail to see why Mike Mizanin is employed by WWE.

[Bad Blood]

Ahh, I get it. WWE bought/restarted ECW. Awesome.

When does ECW start again then?

[ThrashMaster27]

June 13th it's scheduled for I think. I thought I was gonna miss it but it appears Fox 8 will be carrying it.

Oh yeah, the other DX parody... this time of The Corporation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0v2ORxM-Ps&search=WWE%20Corporation.

"The Crock thinks maybe Kenny should switch to decaf" :lol:

[gaslight]

The ECW PPV will be live at 9:55 in the morning tomorrow, where I live.

[blackout]

Just found these two videos of a guy i'd never heard of: mordecai
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUoVUYzjgls&search=wwe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xBJLuHTClU&search=wwe

This guy looks like a great character, what happened to him? He should have stuck around. He certainly has one of the most omenous entrances i've ever seen/heard. Definately a faux pas on the wwe to get rid of him.

i remember cracking up at that decaf line as a kid watching RAW

[Iron Bug]

So ECW is going to be on Sci-Fi for some reason. I think I;m rooting for ECW in this war.

[JACKROXYOU]

RVD!!!:chug:

[Rogue Six]

The WWE didn't know how to write A consistend set of storylines for Mordecai so they cut him. His Entrance was indeed bad ***.

[Bad Blood]

Hmm so does RVD keep the title?

My girlfriend recorded One Night Stand for me, except she taped the wrong channel :(

Anyway, is ECW going to be shown in the UK? Well, which channel?

[blackout]

Sci-fi I think.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Sci Fi channel in the UK? I reckon Sky Sports will poach it

[Bad Blood]

There is Sci Fi, but i've looked through the listings and nothings on tonight.

[ThrashMaster27]

I heard it's gonna be on Sky Sports 3 in the UK.

I was looking up some of the videos on You Tube involving both ECW and WWE. It's hilarious to see how many stupid fans actually think that WWE and ECW are at war for real. One person actually had the cheek to say ECW stole 'superstars' from WWE. Hahaha, I had a good laugh at that.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Yeah, apparently, at ECW vs WWE Head to Head, fans were arguing and getting rowdy with each other. Lol, so dumb, its a storyline....a good storyline though.

There is a Sci-Fi channel in the UK but I very much doubt it'll be shown on there.

[Bad Blood]

There might be a new video game: WWE Vs. ECW

That would be ace.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

That would!!

[Brew]

ECW will be on Sky Sports 3 at 10pm in the UK.

[blackout]

The next SvR game looks pretty good. Think this is a new video of it, havent seen it before:

[Bad Blood]

Woah, that looks ace :D

It comes out in November? :amaze: I thought it'd be much later. Ace!

[gaslight]

I can't wait for SVR07, they're probably the best wrestling game series ever (including the WCW/NWO Revenge and WWF No Mercy games).

If wars were won by SVR, I would be in charge of the world.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

WCW/NWO Revenge was such a laugh, old skool :lol:

[Kif]

Just got One Night Stand, and to be honest, it was pretty poor. There were too many matches around WWE standards, and the only one that impressed me was Sabu/Mysterio until that got broken up early because of that wicked DDT on the table. That tag-team match with Edge, Mick, Terry and Tommy was pathetic and boring, and it's doing nothing good for Tommy (Although I guess Edge got props after the night when the crowd shouted "Thank you Edge" for kicking Cena's arse).

I think now Cena is gonna just rampage all the ECW wrestlers he can (AKA the low-grade ones) and he'll turn slightly more face because of it. I'll definately be downloading tonight's airing tomorrow morning.

Also saw the clip of the DX reunion on Youtube, which was awesome I think. Nicely done, since WWE couldn't keep this storyline hidden at all. It wouldn't have worked anyway. Still, they need some more members otherwise it'll be kinda gay.

[simplephotographinthesun]

i knew the WWE would filter the ECW taping for Sci-Fi but i didn't think it'd be THAT filtered. jesus christ, i thought i was watching an old episode of WWE Sunday Night Heat. what the hell is this ****? i know they're basically obligated to play to a "sci-fi" audience but the zombie and vampire segments were just unnecessary, abrupt, and confusing. but i did enjoy the sandman's cane work. :thumb:

overall score: 4/10

[blackout]

Haha, sandman nearly killed the poor bastard (again)! Hope he's gonna stay one of the high contenders in the ECW ranks.

[JACKROXYOU]

i hope zombie is the next ecw hw champ :rolleyes:

[Phobophile]

What I don't get is...

Can you imagine someone who had no knowledge of ECW,or even wrestling in general,and that was their first impression?

Way to make new fans,Vince.

[gaslight]

Don't worry, ECW will go the way of XFL before long.

[Kif]

To me it just seems like they are bringing back ECW to try and redo 'The Invasion' storyline, only this time it looks a little more interesting. ECW will never reach the lengths it used to be, and it should've just been left dead until WWE ran out of plotlines and had to remake everything over and over.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Hey, guys, i saw wwe raw live yesterday, and DX destroyed the Spirit Squad! I do beleive that this means they have the tag team title now...

Other great matches i remember:

Eugene VS (Forgets)
Winner: Eugene

Kane VS Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton (Due to both cheating and being a complete wuss)

John Cena VS Edge
Winner: John Cena

Cena and Edge's battle was vicious, with a capital V. At the end of the match, Cena's face was bleeding like crazy, Edge took about 2 minutes to get up, and they had to take about 10 minutes to clean all the blood and sweat and grime.

Thats what I like to hear! A bit of bloody violence back in WWE! :chug:

[Bad Blood]

Test is coming to ECW. I always wondered what had happened to him. He looks like he could be a lot more dominant than he used tobe.

[blackout]

Cool, i was gonna ask what happened to him.

Is jericho ever gonna wrestle again? I'd love to see him come back, he was my favrouite wrestler right from his debut on raw.

[Bad Blood]

I think he might go back to ECW soon, maybe in the run for the next PPV. I dunno, it would be ace if he did tohugh.

[Iron Bug]

I do miss Jericho. They need more people in DX, the only problem is they don't have any people that would fit, Jericho might be that person.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Jericho is a little too cocky to be in DX, IMO. Although, it would be very interesting to see him in that group.

Test in ECW would be cool, I'm glad they're bringing him back, he was a good performer but was always a Mid-card wrestler.

[Iron Bug]

Guys, there is some Bret Hart merch in the WWE Shop, like a DVD and a shirt, you guys think he's coming back? I mean with the whole dispute over Owen it seems unlikely but with him showing up at the Hall Of Fame ceremony and them putting out new merch with his name on it. It just seems weird that they would spend that much money/air-time on him if something was'nt happening.

But also, there is a Rick Rude t-shirt, Junkyard Dog t-shirt, Sgt Slaughter t-shirt, The Samoans t-shirt, Bushwackers t-shirt, Million Dollar Man t-shirt, British Bulldog t-shirt, Dusty Rhodes merchandise and a Roddy Piper/Mr Wonderful t-shirt.

I think WWE are just honouring the legends of WWF.

[Iron Bug]

Touche, I must'eve missed that.

It would probably be 100 years after the Montreal Screwjob before he worked for McMahon again.

[Pansy_frank]

wait didn't bret hart die? anywho is jeff hardy ever comin back?

Owen Hart died, Jeff Hardy is in TNA but he's suspended or something.

The reason they still sell Bret Hart merchandise is because people will still buy Bret Hart merchandise, that's about all there is to it.

[Bad Blood]

We need Billy Gun, Road Dogg and Xpac back!

Billy gun is in TNA isn't he?

[gaslight]

Billy Gunn & Road Dogg hate Triple H though, or so it would seem from all the interviews they've done declaring him the biggest dickhead in the world.

[Bad Blood]

oic, I didn't know that.

DX looks stupid with just 2 people in it though.

John Cena should join.

[gaslight]

Haha.

Cena joining would be the final straw of WWE turning completely unwatchable.

[Drahmen]

oic, I didn't know that.

I hope to god you're joking

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Cena in DX would be interesting. I reckon he would sorta fit (imagine him cutting promos in a DX jersey) but from a moral point of view, he would kill the legend and prestigious of DX's history.

[Bad Blood]

I hope to god you're joking

Yep.

[Iron Bug]

By gawd, youre right! i'd like to see Cena in DX! and yes, he can definitely fit in.

[Jom]

Did any of you catch Vengeance?

No, neither did I.

What I did see was THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c27mDqVjyqc) video, which I nearly splotched myself in laughter. Check it out; it's hysterical.

[ChodaBoy]

Haha, I think if that happened, the Earth would be spinning the other way.

I saw Vengeance, it wasnt too bad. After hearing the Ross report earlier though, I was expecting X-Pac to return. (JR talked about some people he saw backstage, turned out to be 80's/90's folk)

[Bad Blood]

Apparently, Jeff Hardy is getting a contract with WWE in the summer.

[Zmev]

If John Cena joined DX, western civilization would fall.

[gaslight]

Apparently, Jeff Hardy is getting a contract with WWE in the summer.

Really? I would have though it pretty unlikely what with his history of being unreliable, and especially with the WWE's new drug testing policies.

[Kif]

I doubt Jeff will ever work on the mainstream wrestling front again after 2 no-shows for TNA. I mean, I can see if pull in some crowds if he rejoined Matt since WWE is recycling every storyline they seem to have nowadays.

Just watched Vengeance, pretty poor PPV. Best match was easily the IC belt match. I didn't know Carlito could actually wrestle! DX was kinda cool, but it feels empty. I was half expecting them to nearly lose and an ex-member to run in and save them. Also what they did on Raw was classic as ever. Nice to see some good humour in the WWE.

So how long do you think ECW will last until it gets cancelled?

[simplephotographinthesun]

ECW might have a shot if they expand the show past an hour. kind of like an old wcw saturday night/thunder deal.

[gaslight]

The new ECW was tainted from the start, all this stuff with ECW veterans jobbing to Cena, it's just WWE ****ting on the ECW legacy to promote their new golden-boy.

[misfitsfan1990]

Well guys im back, i know i was missed (yeah right) so anyway the WWECW thing i cant belive that people actually think that its all to put over cena. Which i think you will find untrue as the fans now boo or generally ignore cena more than ever, anyway did i not see RVD trounce Cena and did i not witness team ECW destroy team Raw...i think i did so all and all i think soon enough ECW will "break away" from the WWE and finally put on some respected ECW television of old :)

Stevie! Stevie! Stevie!

Steven richards for ECW champion

[gaslight]

Actually it seems a lot of fans are really big on Cena again, the ones at the Raw tapings anyway. I was pretty surprised to see how negative the reaction was to RVD, and puzzled as ever to how positive it was for Cena (big pop for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, I wish I could make my paycheck falling over). Must be a lot of girls and little kids in the audience I suppose. The reaction to him at ECW One Night Stand made me smile though.

[blackout]

I really hate RVD at the moment, the novelty's worn off. He's a great athlete but I don't think he's enough off a character to be WWE champion. I can't even be bothered to watch him wrestle anymore, it just turns into a chain of the same old jumps and flips that he used in every other match.

I think he's far more suited to being intercontinental champion because at that stage in the WWE there are more high flying competitors which would compliment his style more, and it wouldn't matter so much that he's actually quite boring character-wise.

[ChodaBoy]

He's all mouth and no show. He can rabble on for 10 minutes non-stop about the things he's going to do, and how hes going to entertain the crowd, but then gives a mediocre performance everytime.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

What I did see was THIS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c27mDqVjyqc) video, which I nearly splotched myself in laughter. Check it out; it's hysterical.
So simple yet.....so funny :lol:

And DX on RAW with their McMahon impresonation then all that poo on Vince, Shane and Spirit Squad was great! Good to see some old skool!

What was with Kane's impersonator, you didn't get to see who it was? :confused:

[ChodaBoy]

They've dropped that storyline now, so you wont see it again anyway.

Although, I think after that, its time for Kane to bring the mask back

[Iron Bug]

Really? Man, I kind of liked that storyline. Kind of kept you on the edge, plus I wanted to see who it was.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Yeah, it was pointless ending it like that. Kane beats em up and takes the mask back. Anti-climax!

[Iron Bug]

I didnt even see him take the mask.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I just saw pics and read up on it on wwe.com, apparently he took it back and threw Imposter Kane out the door.....what a crap way to end the storyline.

[Kif]

Cena must be getting a reputation after taking on the ECW (Or those who are left). I loved his reaction at One Night Stand though, when everyone was chanting "Same old ****!". And the "If Cena wins, we riot" banner was one of the best things of the night. I would have liked to see it.

I've grown very bored of WWE now. I got Vengeance purely for the DX/Spirit Squad match, which was pretty poor to be honest. I love DX, and think even the new version is very funny. But now that WWE has no competition, they have no need to try with the storylines, so they are just regurgitating them from the past 4-6 years.

[ChodaBoy]

Some people have a little more respect now for Cena since, like Kif said, he took on ECW and the fans. He knew it would be a hostile environment to go into, a fan throwing something at him would hardly have been unexpected. But he went in and used the moves he knew they dispise.

Also he's gone back to the 'ruthless aggression' Cena, which is the reason he became popular originally. Beating the crap out of people is what everyone has been waiting for since last year

[ThrashMaster27]

Yeah, but having Sabu tap out to the STFU? that's really not on.

Oh, that clip of Vince from the slammys from the DX pisstake was hilarious. Even when he sings he does his 'angry' voice :lol:

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Yeah, but having Sabu tap out to the STFU? that's really not on.
I know, Sabu has taken some serious damage and pain over the years in ECW and taps out to an STF aka Cena's STF-U :confused: Crap.

[Bad Blood]

Every time Cena locks in the STF-U it makes me laugh. The look on his face, as if he's really gonna put them in pain with it, it looks so pathetic.

[Against Miik!]

All this talk of DX and Kane with the mask makes me remember the gold old days.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

Every time Cena locks in the STF-U it makes me laugh. The look on his face, as if he's really gonna put them in pain with it, it looks so pathetic.
123! Yes, so true. I mean, you could excuse Benoit as the Crippler Crossface actually frigging hurts, but the STF-U, lol.....

[blackout]

What the **** is a punjabi prison match? Sounds interesting...

[Jake_p53]

Don't be shocked if they have fake palm trees surrounding the ring and some lions that are chained up. I could see something really lame coming of this.

DX is great, in my opinion, and have really entertained me. Cena, I am just sick of him. I obviously don't mind him as a person, I don't mind him as a character and athlete, but the damn superman act and the way he is forced down our throats each week sickens me. I've just had enough.

Will be great to see Kane back with the mask, and I hope this means a push. However, I heard they were 'palnning' on ending the angle, I don't think they actually have yet. Especially not in the way they did on RAW.

Finally, I hate Estrada, Saying his name is awesome and catchy, and I mark out for it every time (can't help it, it's awesome), but his character and accent etc. is crap and overrated. I can't see how people praise the guy. I despise him and his poor ability, he isn't entertaining or skilled.

[loathed]

one question, where is the undertaker?

[ChodaBoy]

Cena is hardly forced down our throats, he has a 10 minute match with a little or no promo at all, then the attention is straight away focused on DX and the McMahons.

one question, where is the undertaker?
He wrestles for one night per 6 years, then has a break, while they still put him over as 'the phenom'

[Jake_p53]

Cena is hardly forced down our throats, he has a 10 minute match with a little or no promo at all, then the attention is straight away focused on DX and the McMahons.

I'd class holding the title for over a year (screw Edge's reign, Cena still looked better than him for that month), a crapload of merchandise, and his continued ability to 'pull a win from his ***' (or rather 'defy all odds' as the morons at WWE put it) as being forced down our throats, personally. It seemed to be as though he was the centre of the WWE, though some might see it differently. It was all about Johnny Boy.

DX reunited a couple of weeks ago. Sure, Cena has gone from our screens slightly now, but how long before he is back where he was only a month or so ago? I think the design of the WWE Title RVD is now holding can tell us that.

And yeah, Taker is part-time, specifically so he can spend more time with his family and stuff. Khali 'broke his spirit', but he'll be back for the GAB, as he always shows up for PPV's.

[Bad Blood]

DX really need more members, they looks so empty :(

[jaymz_is_god]

DX really need more members, they looks so empty :(

I think it's okay with two, but if I had to pick another person to join, it'd be Carlito.

Will be great to see Kane back with the mask, and I hope this means a push. However, I heard they were 'palnning' on ending the angle, I don't think they actually have yet. Especially not in the way they did on RAW.
Kane is retiring from wrestling next year :( His contract expires in early 2007 and he said in an interview for See No Evil that he will not renew his contract.

[loathed]

ohh, thats sad...

[Bad Blood]

I think it's okay with two, but if I had to pick another person to join, it'd be Carlito.

Yeah, I think he'd fit in pretty well.

He needs a new storyline too, so it could be a good idea.

[Jake_p53]

Kinda bad news about Kane, but it wasn't like he was being used well.

As for DX, hell no to new members. They are brilliant as they are and need to stay as only Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Anyone else would just kill it. No new members...

[Kickflip_Burrito]

So RVD likes da ganja....

[gaslight]

Kane is nearly 40 now anyway, I think his attitude is that he's had a good run and it is time for the younger guys to have their day. He turned down a few big storylines apparently, such as having him end the Undertaker's WM streak and things like that.

I like JBL on commentary, ever notice how they always pair Michael Cole as a female type of character next to a big male? Hilarious.

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I don't really like JBL on commentary though I do think he's better than Tazz.

[BassVirtuoso]

I've been waiting so long to see Hogan get RKO'd.

Did you guys hear them on Main Event goof Sabu's intro? They billed him from Bombay, Michigan.

Where was Punjabi Prison match mentioned?

[bassist_for_a_band]

I'm lovin' the return of DX

Especially after last time DX "came back" and all

[BassVirtuoso]

Where was Punjabi Prison match mentioned?

Great Kahli vs. Undertaker.

I always thought they were saying Pajami Prison though.

Hulk Hogan getting RKO'd was one of the best moments of my life.

[Bad Blood]

i missed it :(

what is a punjabi prison match?

what is a punjabi prison match?

Alright, from looking on around, this is what i found on a punjabi prison match, though i don't particuarly beleive in it. It's on the forums no one's heard of, It could've been put up by anyone...

"the ring will be surrounded by a cage with barbed wires.
the two contestents will be able to use it as a weapon.
there might be barbed wires on the floor so no one can escape so that way they'll have to stay in and fight.
it won't look like a regular steel cage but much different but with the same material being used.
there will also be weapons provided for the contestent so they can use to their advantage."

I don't beleieve that, as much as i want to...

Oh, and guess what, guys?... If my aunt and uncle are nice enough, they might take me to summerslam! I live in CT, it's in MA this year, my aunt and uncle are nice, My birthday is coming up. Pretty good odds. But still, who knows. Might be a yes, might be a no.

__________________________
You know what i'm sick of? When they pit wwe veterans up against nobodys. Like, on the SNME, They pitted Sabu up against a nobody... and guess what? Sabu destroyed him. Cade and Murdoch have been pitted up against countless nobodys, and guess what? Cade and Murdoch win every time. What really confused me is that once on Raw, they pitted UMAGA up against a nobody. That's just screaming: "CHANGE THE CHANNEL! YOU KNOW THE RESULT!"

Anyone agree with me?

[Soul_Under_Arrest]

The Storylines are so bad now IMHO. I've pretty much stopped watching Smackdown and I've cut down on watching Raw. ECW is pretty cool with there stuff I guess sense it a bit fresher.

I pretty much watch TNA (not for the storylines...the action) and UFC.

[BassVirtuoso]

I'm sick of ECW, they are totally falling into the Vince McMahon trap of recycled storylines. It was better when it was independent and you had real grudges like the legendary Vic Grimmes and New Jack rivalry.

The good things about WWE right now:
DX
Randy Orton
Sabu
Lashley

[Otherside]

and Carlito.

[Junooni]

A Punjabi Prison, ****.

The cops beat the hell outta you for fun, they're corrupt as hell.

Punjab is a region in Pakistan/India, FYI.

Go watch some old ECW, you'll soon realise that Stevie Richards is not a nobody.

[JACKROXYOU]

in wwe he is a nobody

in ecw he was somebody

[ThrashMaster27]

He was a pretty major heel in WWE back in the 'Right to Censor' days. That entrance music was so f'ing annoying!

Right to Censor were just bloody annoying in general. The Godfather without his hoes :(

[simplephotographinthesun]

the godfather without his hoes is still one of the biggest travesties in WWE history.

-_- to the punjabi prison match, screw khali for chickening out.

[Bad Blood]

Booker T?!?

that's just embarrassing for the WWE.

What's with Chavo?

Stupid Khali the big gay.

[Otherside]

Someone had to take it from Rey or Batista would have to become a heel, which wouldn't be bad but they probably don't want to risk ratings to drop since he just came back anyways.

[newleaf21]

just found this thread, so let me get a few things off my chest:

the great american bash was god awful. The punjabi prison match was well slow and borin. I love Big SHow and undertaker, but i think they did that well with this match. I think this whole different brand stuff is stretching the wwe too thin, that ppv just showed how poor smackdown is atm. I think King Booker is a crap character, they should have left him as Booker T, people aren't booing 'King Booker' more theyre booing how **** the creative team are in coming up with something so unoriginal. They dont take any chances in the wwe, for example, they couldve thought, ****, lashley's out, **** it lets make regal US champion spice it up a bit. But no. Even the ECW is showing itself up to conform to the victory-betrayal-redemption thing. If they had better ideas (like DX and stuff) more often, I wouldn't mind if the wrestling was at times a bit dull. But again, no. Sort it out wwe!

[Kif]

I lost faith in WWE a long time ago, especially the Smackdown division. They do think they have no competition, so there's no motivation to make good storylines anymore. Of course, TNA shows them up weekly with storylines, since they don't have to cram hours of useless footage in 2 shows every week.

The only thing that makes me want to watch WWE anymore is DX, which I still find quite a funny storyline, and the Intercontinental group, who seem to be looking to the X Division for ideas to make matches more interesting with more high-risk moves. But in the end, WWE wrestlers have their few select moves and punches.

[Frankie]

TNA is kicking WWE's arse ATM, oh and how did RVD lose the Heavyweight title ??

[Black Ink]

My friends are thinking of buying tickets for Raw when it comes nearby. I'll probably go with them since I've never been to a wrestling event. I haven't watched WWE reguarly in like....7 years. What should I expect?

Crap, quite frankly, apart from DX.

[MattyBlade]

Ok I don't care if you, your grandmother or your cousin 6 times related through your step sisters brothers childs side thinks that the WWE or WWF is cheesy and lame I am just wanting a few answers...

I stopped in 2001 and have kinda started watching it again.

So much stuff happened and I don't really like the changes.

But anyway...

Why and where did...

X-Pac
Jeff Hardy
Mark Hendry
Road Dogg
Ken Shamrock
Steve Blackman
Gangrel
+ any others you want to add

go?

Why did Edge and Christian split up as a team?
Why did the Hardys split?

Did the following wrestlers die?

Ultimate warrior
Mr. Perfect
Yukozona
British Bulldog
Hawk (Or Animal)

Thanks.

Note from SD: Don't troll in this thread or come in here to flame wrestling or wrestling fans, or you can take a vacation.

since this is such an old thread most stuff probably has been answered.

x-pac hit the bottle and married chyna.

don't care about hte others in that list but ken shamrock is in UFC (duh)

4/5 of the people you mention died. Ultimate warrior can befound on Somethingawful ...it's pretty hilarious because he wants to sue SA or something to that extent it's a great read.

[MattyBlade]

not to flame wrestling fans here, but I REALLY REALLY hate the 'suck it' - dx slogan.

It's such a disgusting thing to see like little 8 year olds and nine year olds running up to their friends doing the 'X' by their crotch and screaming suck it when half of them don't even know what it means -_-. I hope the return of dx does not bring that horrible fad back.

Yeah, since letting 8 or 9 year olds watch what they probably believe is real wrestling (And for WWE, that is a stretch, since most of it is fake fighting plus a finisher) isn't disgusting at all?

[BassVirtuoso]

The only redepemption for WWE is the DX and the RKO. I don't know why, but seeing someone getting RKO'd is like pulling down their pants in front of a crowd of people. I almost cried tears of joy when Hulk Hogan got RKO'd.

But now I realize the Canadian Destroyer>The RKO, the Canadian Destroyer is the greatest move in wrestling history.

On another note, **** Hulk Hogan. It's half his fault WWE is all about show and not technicality. I don't even watch it for the matches anymore, just for the storylines. Now he thinks he can come back and finish Randy Orton, one of the toughest guys in the business, with a leg drop? Hulk is blowing himself up because a bunch of old losers still preach Hulkamania and he doesn't realize everyone is sick of him. He could never wrestle, he still can't. Making Orton job to him will put the nail in the coffin of the McMahons.

[Kif]

Randy Orton is easily one of the top wrestlers in RAW. He's exactly what a heel should act like, which is what I like about him. Heels are a lot more interesting that faces to me. The RKO is pretty simple, but he makes it look really cool as well.

A Hulk should just move on. He's good for life probably from all the crap he did with WWE. Just let it go and let WWE try and fix their mistakes without bringing in wrestlers too old for their own good.

[Frankie]

Jay Lethal's (I believe its him) has a really good finisher of 650 splash from the top. Looks spectacular when its done.

[MattyBlade]

Yeah, since letting 8 or 9 year olds watch what they probably believe is real wrestling (And for WWE, that is a stretch, since most of it is fake fighting plus a finisher) isn't disgusting at all?


no , just the 'suck it' thing is lame.

It happened to a friend of mine when we were in grade 8, a little grade 3 came over and said that to him, and then kept doing it for the remainder of the lunch period, so when the lunch was almost over and he came to do it again, my friend punched him in the stomach..bringing the little kid to his knees.

It just goes to show ya kids, don't do stupid things.

[Snowball Fight]

oh man he's really cool, i wish i could do that to little kids.

So what if they do it, it's not like nothing they do annoys you is it?

[BassVirtuoso]

^Psych is a surprisingly good show, I love the triple threat of Monk, Psych, and House.

Anyway, if anyone saw that RAW that was just on, that was probably the most predictable episode I've ever seen.

[Jom]

It's been kind of crappy lately - the general rule of thumb that I've noticed is that, immediately after a PPV, you have the typical rematches and then the seeds to a new feud being planned.

Every single week between PPVs, it's just continuation of feuds, which can be incredibly slow. The Flair/Foley thing, for instance, is worth caring about ONLY because those two legitimately loathe each other and they seem genuine when they go after one another.

But what happened with the IC Title race? It was Shelton/Carlito for weeks upon weeks, and then all of a sudden Carlito's dealing with Edge and Kane is the new #1 Contender? Um, what?

And usually the show before the PPV, it builds it up pretty well.

But the last PPV was, what, a Smackdown! brand PPV? It's been awhile for RAW, and this will be a joint show, so... yeah. Boredom and predictability both set in.

[ThrashMaster27]

Howdy thread.

I happened to catch the Summerslam Tour in Melbourne on sat... was quite fun actually. Some pretty crappy matches and everyone over doing the 'Woooooooo!' around the arena. Ric Flair was quite funny on the mic though and him being an honourary member of DX for the night was comical aswell.

Biggest pop came for John Cena sadly, but most of them were kids under 10 that were screaming. I was on my feet for HBK, but not many people else. Suprisingly Randy Orton got a good response in his match against Kane, which didn't feature an rKo, rather a chokeslam from Kane, followed by the 1-2-3. Main event was Cena vs Edge in a steel cage match, which Edge won when Cena got his head bashed in with the door courtesy of Lita. Needless to say Cena ended up doing the F-U on both Lita and Edge, which sent the kids wild.

Fun night and my girlfriend ended up being louder than me.. constantly shouting at the Spirit Squad and Cena... I taught her well :D

wwe seriously needs to rid of the whole DX storyline cause it is just ****ing retarded...they need to put triple h back on the main event for the championship instead of having him run around with shawn michaels and act all gay and ****.

[Bad Blood]

It's funny though.

[Ghoul Hunter]

I'm going to start watching WWE again. Can someone bring me up to speed with what I need to know?

[Bad Blood]

Uh, well Smackdown and Raw are rival brands now (you probably already know that though).

On Raw, there's DX, basically like the old one etc (HHH and Shawn Michaels). uhm Edge is the champ, with a rival with John Cena. RVD has a rivalry with Cena and Edge I think, about ECW championship aswell (ECW is a brand of the WWE now)

DX have a rivalry with the McMahons and the spirit squad, nothing is fair etc and at Summerslam is DX Vs. McMahons

On Smackdown, Booker T is the King Of The Ring, and rants on about that all the time. He is also the champ of Smackdown, winning the title off Rey Mysterio who got screwed over by Chavo Guerrero because of something to do with Eddie. So there's a rivalry with Chavo and Rey.

Undertaker and The Great Khali have a rivalry, not really about anything, just because they're both big etcetc.

Batista is facing 'King Booker' for the title at Summer Slam.

Bobby Finlay, Lashley, William Regal all have a bit of a rivalry going on (although I think Regal and Finlay are on the same side) and with King Booker also I think, something like that.

On ECW, Big Show is the champ. I haven't really been following that too much though, it's not really too important. Sabu has just started a rivalry with Show though.

There's not really much else. It shouldn't take you long to get the gist of what's going on right now.

I believe he is currently in the middle of a divorce, along with some unpublicised problems. Plus the fact that he has needed some serious therapy on his neck for a very long time.

Judging by what they wrote about him, it looks like hes planning to go back (not to TNA as it usually goes)

apparently he's rubbed the entire ECW locker room the wrong way. he's also been steadfast in trying to stay in the main event spotlight. poor kurt :(

in other news, today is my 5 year anniversary :thumb:

[gaslight]

Kurt is gone because he is years overdue in terms of giving a body a chance to recover from all his injuries. He's pretty much addicted to painkillers just to get through the day and it seems like his personality type means he can't let himself give less than 100%, which puts him in serious danger.

Basically WWE are just trying to stop him killing himself through stubborness, or that's how I see it.

Also, lol @ Chris Masters now that he's off the roids. Looks like Gregory Helms.

[Trojan Kahn]

wwe is boring as hell~ kil it

[ChodaBoy]

Oh noes! There is quite a high possibility that the NWO could be making a return, to face against DX. In theory, it could be big since they are probably the two largest factions in the industry.

But Nash and Hall are hardly people you can depend on

[Junooni]

If it went right, I would love to see that.

[DemonicRubberDucky]

So, Batista lost to Booker T (I refuse to call him by his current moniker. It's disgrace to the wwe.). It just makes me wonder, with as much cheating as Booker employs now, who do you think CAN beat him? I mean, anyone can beat Booker in his current form, but can anyone beat Booker?... and Finlay?... and Regal?... and add the chance of a disqualification by Sharmell, and... oh man guys, i have a feeling we're gonna have a false champion for one long time. Looks like we need to call in the Taker... That's the only way i see this belt raid ending. Or maybe Rey, if he can get over this rut he's in. Jesus tap dancing christ man, Rey was rusty out there this week. He even missed the springboard. You know all is wrong with the world when REY MYSTERIO f*cks up the SPRINGBOARD.

i agree wholeheartedly about nash and hall's dependability. if the nwo were to make a comeback, i think it'd still flop judging by the way handled the NWO rejuvenation angle last time. but, i could be wrong

[misfitsfan1990]

Hey guys long time no see, anyway i just wanted to comment on the current situation of the wrestling world: First off i want to state my concern over the handling of the kurt angle incident.

WWE could have played up the fact that angle was leaving, they could have made a glorious moment aka Cactus Jacks retirement but no. Slowly but surely they pushed angle off of tv and out of the picture completely.

Angle make the right choice come off the road and move to TNA, its not a great option but its better than ecwwe or wwe at the moment.

Next off the bat is the recent Jeff Jarrett attack on a fan, this guy is crazy he taunted the fan over the railings in norway and then when the fan approached jarrett Double J attacked him! Dus Jarrett want TNA to succeed or dus he want to make it look like an unproffesional playground where wrestlers attack the buying public?

I will be back with part 2 later, thankyou

[Kif]

I'm really bored with TNA now actually. When I first started watching, it was pretty new and exciting, especially the X Division. But people jumping over ropes and reversing everything only lasts so long. It's still fun to watch, but I rarely get as excited as I used to.

Then there's the heavyweight division. To put it frankly, they've made a complete mockery of some of the stars up there. The only thing that is keeping them running for me is the tag team division, which is still amazing to watch (LAX pwn so hard).

I'll be watching Unforgiven this week. WWE should disband Smackdown and concentrate more on the quality of Raw and ECW. Smackdown (And it's PPVs) are stale now, and there's little talent that is interesting to watch. Raw has a lot of things going for it (Edge/Cena is still running well, Jeff/Nitro, DX/McMahons).

[ChodaBoy]

misfitsfan, seriously, if Kurt was in such a terrible condition, going to TNA would definately be the thing to push him. TNA looks for the 'high spots', and Kurt just couldnt handle that.

Jarret attacking the fan was probably for 1 of 2 reasons. 1, he has got too big for his boots (so to speak), 2, 'any publicity is good publicity', if him hitting someone jumping over the barrier got mentioned in a newspaper or magazine, then people will tune in expecting to see some sort of crazyness happening.

[misfitsfan1990]

Part 2

Hey guys im back for part two of my reveiw of the current situation of wrestling:

Bringing back the 90´s: Ok now i know that there will be a lot of dissagreement over this but is wrestling not ment to be moving forwards? Do we really want to watch hogan and tatanka and Hacksaw Jim Duggan stumble around the ring like we did in the 90´s come on is no one else fed up of the nostalgia fest WWE is producing these days? And where does it end are we going to see Jake the Snake feuding with the undertaker again or how about bringing back Randy Savage and lets go over the whole Hogan vs Savage rivalry....it dosent sound too fresh and exiting now does it? WWE Please freash up your product it will do the world of good to fire the hogans and the Duggans and all the old faces and let your company be carried by a new revolution of up and coming wrestlers.

TNA (as a whole) Yes i have said it as has my amigo above me TNA is getting stale. The Jarrett/Zybysco fiasco is still underway as is all the other crap witch has been brooding too long and i think i have an answer to TNA´s problem. They are pushing no homegrown talent push Hoyt, Monty and Abyss hey even push Raven he was the best champion you had! We as the veiwing public like to watch fresh dynamic action and TNA in your early days you did provide that but now you need to push harder. We love you TNA you were the "WRESTLING" fans messiah. Please provide that again and please, please bring yourself back from the brink because at the moment your tag devision is all you have.

thankyou

[simplephotographinthesun]

I guess TNA might be turning this jarrett thing into an angle as he'll face samoa joe at the next PPV in a fan-enforcer type lumberjack match.

[pikester]

misfitsfan, seriously, if Kurt was in such a terrible condition, going to TNA would definately be the thing to push him. TNA looks for the 'high spots', and Kurt just couldnt handle that.


Except that the WWE schedule is pretty much all the time (Raw, Smackdown, ECW, Sometimes 2 ppv's a month, and then a ridiculous amount of house shows),

TNA has a PPV, films all the Impacts until the next PPV the next day or so, and then the wrestlers have time off or whatever. That's why you see almost all of TNA's wrestlers in ROH or similar promotions.

[ChodaBoy]

Yeah, but like I said, TNA go for the high spots, which few people who watch TNA would enjoy. In WWE he could perform mat work, for an extensive amounts of time

[misfitsfan1990]

Yeah, but like I said, TNA go for the high spots, which few people who watch TNA would enjoy. In WWE he could perform mat work, for an extensive amounts of time

Sorry but no, TNA looks for wrestling my friend and thats what Angle would provide. Imagine Samoa Joe vs Kurt Angle would involve a lot of matwork as would Kurt vs many of the x devision superstars. TNA provides a varied ammount of mat work, high flying and heavyweight based action the only problem is that TNA is not presenting this correctly at the moment.

im pretty sure he was suspended, im not sure why but it should have been done long ago he is a bore to have on tv.

[Jom]

He had a similar problem that Super Crazy and Lashley had when they were off TV for awhile - elevated liver enzymes.

I liked the way they brought Batista back to the arena weilding a pipe, its been quite a while since they've done that, and it always gets huge pops from the crowd

[DemonicRubberDucky]

Hey, did you guys hear about it? Vito decided to, rather than take on Booker T, leave the job to the Taker. Carnage time!

[Saint Lokomotiv]

I watched Unforgiven on sky last night, the first time ive watched a PPV for ages.

Actually quite liked it, reminded me af when i was about 12 and all my friends and i wud watch it, and do nothing but talk about it for the following week

The TLC match was good but as you get older its easy to see all the holes there is in wrestling

But they still keep getting more creative with ways of what to do with ladders and putting ppl through tables.

Kudos WWE!

[ChodaBoy]

Well, it happened. Angle signs for TNA.

So he quits from WWE claiming personal reasons (divorce, injuries) have taken too much out of him. Then a week or so later, he signs for a somewhat rival company.

Therefore either two things have happened.

1. He has been offered a large contract, and lied to WWE knowing that they would trust him.

2. McMahon got high one night, came up with some ideas, and sent him over there to start breaking arms/legs/necks, then quit.

/Fingers crossed for the second option

[misfitsfan1990]

YES TNA i knew you would pull through finally you are swerving back to the right track! Angel + 2 hour timeslot + Buff Bagwell = YIPEEEE! After watching No Surrender it made me feel like i was back in the attitude era

[Kif]

I just saw the announcement on the main page. Angle screwed WWE, which I find kind of poetic since he was dumped in ECW.

Hopefully now we will see something more than Christian, Sting and Jarrett in the heavyweight division.

Yeah thats why im so happy for Kurt and TNA alike, Angel has the persona and Mic skills that TNA needs to help grab the casual fans. Angle is a house hold name and could probably pull TNA further towards being "Competition" for WWE.

On the other hand Buff Bagwell is a major aquisition if he buckels down and works the way stiener did, i see Bagwell being the one to put Bobby Roode over and a Bagwell vs Jarrett rivalry in the works.

Now all we can do is cross our fingers and pray to Buddah that TNA does not drop the ball with this one...

[ChodaBoy]

Hold on a second, Buff Bagwell is considered one of the larger names in TNA?

[simplephotographinthesun]

i'm just glad that angle's travel schedule is significantly lightened by jumping over to TNA.

"He's more of a masterpiece than ever, JR".

It's pretty funny how blatant the agenda the announcers are fed is sometimes. Especially now that Masters isn't even above-averagely built as far as people go in the company.

[Kif]

Haha that's one of the worst things about "sports entertainment", or at least the mainstream companies. I really do hate the TNA announcers. 2 face announcers = no fun.

i almost pissed my pants when I heard Triple H's line on Raw concerning masters' book's title. :lol:

[pikester]

TNA's announcers have to be the worst around. ROH's old announcers were pretty dang awful too, but now they have some decent ones.

[thirdeyeblindislit]

The old WCW announcers were great!

[thirdeyeblindislit]

I think that TNA only having like 2 people wrestle of the title, and giving it 99.9% of the time to Jeff Jarrett, then having JJ take some kind of lie dectector test makes it really dull.

Also it's not that great that they are pretty stationary as well.

[ChodaBoy]

Fingers crossed for someone to phone Byte This, talk about TNA, only to be put down by a Vince "SHUUUT UP!"

[gaslight]

Remind me?

[davo_guitarman]

hey everyone in here check out my thread on bathurst in the sport section, alos watched a bit of WWE the other night, not a big fan of wrestling lol it was entertaining though nonetheless :thumb:

[Jom]

Remind me?

HHH: 'Oh yeah, what's it going to be called, How to Lose 50 Pounds in 4 Weeks?'

Also, HUGE FREAKING MARK OUT for the Hooligans vs. Pets finish.
Sliced Bread #2 into a vaulted SSP. Hooligans retain.

First two matches have been awesome.

[Storm In A Teacup]

So, haven't watched this for a while. Is it still emphasizing silly stories over wrestling? Or have the stories become better and the wrestling more active? That's why I stopped watching.

:lol:

It's funnier because it's true.

[simplephotographinthesun]

sigh, chris benoit for smackdown champion, please.

[Kif]

I wish Jeff didn't win the IC belt. Would've been better if he fueded with Johnny for about 2 months, then ended up with Matt again.

Also, Booker T (I'm not calling him... you know...) sucks hard now. He's a good wrestler, but he's a crappy heel.

If you're talking about the WWE, then the stories and wrestling have probably gotten worse since you stopped watching.

If you're interested, check out TNA or ROH. ROH is much better, but harder to get ahold of without buying a DVD or something. Their DVDs are very worth it, though.

[Kif]

If you can get signed up to Xtreme Wrestling Torrents, there's so much ROH **** there. I got Death Before Dishonor IV. I swear that Cage of Death match was insane.

[Jom]

My favorite ROH match was the very first one I ever saw. The announcers explained the five Codes of Honor, and it was against two of my all-time favorite performers: Paul London and Spanky (AKA Brian Kendrick nowadays).

[Kif]

The first ROH match I saw was Samoa Joe Vs. Homicide for the ROH Title I think. Brilliant match, shame Samoa got injured halfway through it. He still fought back and won to his credit.

Homicide will win the title in December too. Well, he should do anyway.
