I honestly don't know why Jericho is still in WWE.He's never going anywhere,as long as HHH hates him.He should really go to TNA.Give him more time to be with his band. It sucks that last year's champs are now down to mid card (Eddie and Benoit) especially since they were very convincing champions. And as for Kurt, they're probably keeping him out of main event because of his neck,but I still see him as one of the top heels.
And,no offence to anyone here if they do go to WWE shows,but I honestly can't stand them.They'll eat up anything as long as they have wrestlers kissing up,and they're just so blind.Why they chant Angle sucks is beyond me.I know he's heel,but he's the total package.Cena is a poser who probably slept his way through WWE and didn't deserve that belt.
Stabilty I guess. I mean TNA is just as bad sometimes with Jeff Jarrett acting exactly like Triple H. The X-division is probably the only thing keeping the show alive. Plus, with the WGN deal falling through, TNA really doesn't have a tv deal now....:(
The thing about those shows is that it's easy to bash them right now. But when you're in the show and you feel the emotion, you'll cheer for anything. It all has to do with the atmosphere. I know I went to a few shows in which I've said and did some stupid things and cheered for some stupid things, but that was because I was so into the show. It happens to everyone.

yeah that was pretty funny when fans started cheering for her.. but they didn't cheer for her when she was all goody goody
That's because she was main eventing Heat every week.People probably forgot who the hell she was.
Remember her little storyline with Stevie Richards and he dressed up as a woman?:D

i think their still looking for the new rock and stone cold rivalry.. i mean that what brought raw to its peak.. that was when fans were going wild.. they didn't know who to root for.. now we ended up with a wannabe gangster and a cowboy.. stone cold i know ppl hate him but it was really him he played the part of the angry red neck to perfection.. and the the rock was great even if he started to repeat himself.
They're always trying to find the next Rock/Stone Cold. I mean look at Randy Orton, they were obviously trying to make him the next Rock: Third generation superstar, started out as a bland face who no one cared about, turned heel and joined a major faction, eventually became the star of the faction.
And with STone Cold, how many times have we seen a boss vs wrestler feud. They're always trying to go back to the fountain with that.

I know what you mean.I went to a Raw house show once,and it was when Matt and Kane were feuding.Everyone was chanting Hardy.But I tried to start up some Kane chant,and a couple people started looking at me like I was Bizzarro :D
And,believe it or not,there was a time when I actually chanted Cena's name.Back when he did those raps.But then for some reason it just died out.:(

It's obvious they're making Cena an Austin clone,but it's just not working.AUstin would NEVER kiss up to the fans as much as Cena does.
Orton and Christian do remind me of Rock though.
That's the thing though. Instead of finding the new superstar, they're trying to find the next old superstar. I honestly don't know why the WWE just can't try and find someone new :confused:

Yep. I mean it just doesn't work if they do that. I mean back in 1994, they tried to make Lex Luger the new Hulk Hogan and that failed as well. It wasn't until new main eventers like Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels were brought in that they found a few more marketable wrestlers.

Exactly,Austin,The Rock and HHH all worked as they were fresh and individual,Now WWE needs to look to guys to bring something new not something borrowed,Guys like christian,Y2J,Edge and Orton can create their own legacies if given a chance the way Kurt was

Man, Kurt Angle was such a huge surprise. I mean, I remembered seeing his first match and I was bored, I thought he would be gone from the WWF in like a year. I mean it totally shocked me that not only did he stick around, but he managed to win all the major titles (including the KOTR) in that time frame :eek:

Bleh, I'd rather they have wrestlers do the hardcore title fights than McMahons. That's the one thing I'm happy about with the WWE right now, the McMahon's don't take up as much of the storylines as they used to. Remember the time when Vince, Stephanie, Shane, and Linda all used to take up so much airtime?

nope,he remains as big a star as ever,look at HBK he put over austin and HHH and Randy,Goldberg and angle at mania yet his status remains the same.I always remember austin refusing to put ove jarrett and making a fool outve him every week for a period in 99

Not just that, but in putting over talent. He's become like Stone Cold in making sure that no one but him remains on top. I thought he would've learned his lesson with the way he was treated in WWF, but I guess not.
And as much as I would like to see AJ STyles in WWE, I would rather not. His style of wrestling would be so toned down from what we usually see (look at RVD). Plus, he's (a bit) better off in TNA for now. I mean, he's like the Sting of that promotion! ;) :D

Yeah, but those people had no choice. They were all released by the WWE because they didn't want them. What TNA needs to do in order to gain some credibilty is sign a wrestler who's willing to leave the WWE to join TNA. I'm talking like a Chris Jericho. That'll improve TNA's standings a bit....
Twitch
06-01-2005, 05:03 PM
To be honest I want HHH to lose the weight and go back to the build when he was running around DX. Have him turn face and Y2J turn back to the kickass rocker heel. And have a non-title feund away from Batista. That would so boost
Jericho's creditbility. Also it would be a breath of freash air for HHH. He's been a heel for like three years?

Rey Mysterio is still out of action with an injured ankle (sprain) from this past weekends house shows. Photos of that injury happening and Mysterio being helped by medics afterwards can be seen at this link (http://www.wrestlezone.com/imagery.php). No word yet on whether or not Mysterio will return to the ring on the upcoming weekend shows.
Shawn Michaels seemingly dodged a bullet and will not need surgery to repair his injured knee. Michaels originally injured the knee in a house show match a few weeks ago in a match against Christian. Michaels will be getting an MRI on his knee this week.
Brock Lesnar, with nothing else to do because of the lawsuit with WWE, is hosting a golf tournament coming up in Minnesota. More information can be found at MNDaily.com.

That's true. I have to give credit for Triple H at least dropping the title twice during Wrestlemania. If he just took a break from the main event scene for like six months or even a year, I would have far, far, far less complaints about him to be honest.

It was probably because Hogan didn't want to do much. He was probably at "extremely bighead" phase back then....
And I would definitely buy a dvd of that if it came out. And I really wouldn't be surprised if WWE did make a dvd like that considering how much of a success the Rise and Fall of ECW dvd was. I can already see some of the stuff in it:
-Hogan joining the nWo
-the rise of the nWo
-that Sting/Hogan Starcade match
-The dreaded fingerpoke of Doom match that totally ****ed over WCW

I remember that huge build-up with Sting as The Crow. Of course, that was during WCW's hot period and that angle was absolute gold, especially when you consider the fact that you became more impatient with Sting.
Hogan has clearly changed for the better. When he cameback to the WWE he cleanly put over The Rock, Angle, and Lesnar. Even in his prime he would've never have done that, so, you have to give him credit for putting over younger and more talented athletes.
Undertaker has no room to talk about anyone being an *******. He's done his fair share of holding people down. I don't know if anyone remembers, but RVD was supposed to beat him for the title, but Undertaker changed it and said RVD was too stiff to be champion. Of course, lo and behold, Undertaker remained champion and RVD went on to eventually be buried by Ego H.
Undertaker often would not sell to O'Haire, Kanyon, DDP, and Jindrak. Remember when DDP was pinned by the Undertakers wife? :rolleyes:
Because of UT's ego, those wrestlers I mentioned above were never taken seriously, so he's definitely an icon and a legend, but on a personal level he's done his fair share of dirty acts.

From Wrestling-Edge.com :
Edge talked publicly for the first time ever about his affair with Lita earlier this month. He was part of a 40-minute journalist roundtable with Cena, Stacy Keibler, Victoria, and others at the Electronics Entertainment Expo in California on 5/19. Edge said it's tough maintaining family relationships on the road. He said his mom is the most important person in the world to him and he maybe gets to see her every two or three months. He hangs out with his friends he grew up with once every year if he's lucky. He said the situation with Lita was awkward for both of them. The storyline with Kane spawned out of real-life and there were never any plans for it to happen. He said Vince paid attention to the crowd reactions and asked them to go with it: "We could give it 50% and it just wouldn't work. So we said, okay, we've got to take this and run with it. We've been put in this position now and we might as well go with it." Edge claimed that he still talks to Matt Hardy about two times a week. Regarding the Internet coverage of his personal life: "I think a lot of people have a lot of time on their hands. That was my first thought about it. It's interesting that my life seems to be so interesting to other people. I've accepted being the Angelina Jolie of the locker room."

Sting will not come to the WWE. He has stated numerous times he has no intentions on being there, especially when you consider his new found christianity.
I also believe he doesn't want to be used like past WCW wrestlers.

Sting really knew how to sell a match. The Power Plant used to be near my grandfather's house in Atlanta. I used to go by there and watch the guys training. You should have seen Big Show's moonsault. I have so many Sting autographs too. I have some Lex Lugar autographs too, anyone want them?

Kinda sad because the WCW invasion back in 2000 needed basically only two wrestlers to truly be WCW: Sting and Ric Flair. And both weren't there...:(

#8. "Sorry, but I think even Edge has better judgement than to date someone who was in 'Troy.'"
#9. "Hey, as long as Triple H is in charge, their chances of winning the World Title are about equal."

You know,if HHH pulled an Orton,and stayed out of the camera's view for a couple months,I'm sure he would get the same reaction randy got when he came back a few weeks ago.The crowd would possibly cheer him even though he's heel.
Speaking of Randy Orton,I hope when he comes back he gets more heelish music. His current song only worked for when he was a face.

You know, if Ego H left for like two or three years, and stayed out of the WWE completley and didn't let anyone know where he was, then the fans at home and at the arenas would give an exploding standing ovation.
Ego H gets "X-Pac Heat now". People are sick of him and sick of his hogging the spotlight, hence why they never really get behind a new champion. Because in the end, they know who the belt is going back to and they figure "why bother?".

I remember that huge build-up with Sting as The Crow. Of course, that was during WCW's hot period and that angle was absolute gold, especially when you consider the fact that you became more impatient with Sting.
Hogan has clearly changed for the better. When he cameback to the WWE he cleanly put over The Rock, Angle, and Lesnar. Even in his prime he would've never have done that, so, you have to give him credit for putting over younger and more talented athletes.
Undertaker has no room to talk about anyone being an *******. He's done his fair share of holding people down. I don't know if anyone remembers, but RVD was supposed to beat him for the title, but Undertaker changed it and said RVD was too stiff to be champion. Of course, lo and behold, Undertaker remained champion and RVD went on to eventually be buried by Ego H.
Undertaker often would not sell to O'Haire, Kanyon, DDP, and Jindrak. Remember when DDP was pinned by the Undertakers wife? :rolleyes:
I remember the RVD thing. I also heard they edited out some of the RVD chants and put in some 'Taker ones. And somebody made mention of the Stone/Cold Kane thing? Kane honestly doesn't deserve a belt. I know there have been less deserving people who've had it, but Kane is lame nontheless.

''Adding to a report broken on this website earlier in the week, PWInsider.com cites WWE sources who are expressing much frustration over the ECW PPV. What was originally viewed as a heavily-anticipated show has lost quite a bit of luster amongst those backstage, with some even 'dreading' the PPV.
The original idea was for the PPV to be a legitimate "ECW-style" show full of input from Tommy Dreamer and Paul Heyman. However, when the show failed to sellout in the first week of ticket availability (many blame the $400 price tag), WWE made the call to include some WWE workers and step back from the pure-ECW format. When that didn't increase buzz, WWE was forced to drop some of the ticket prices and include wrestlers from both WWE rosters in "invasion" storylines.

*Have Edge Burn Kane's entire body. Then, like in ROTS, have Paul Bearer and his minions retrieve Kane's carcass. Then, show the revival of the monster by donning the mask and creating a badass outfit. Then, Kane would be the monster on Raw, eventually winning the title for a short run. He'd be neither Heel no face, attacking anyone he wants when he wants.

That would kick insane amounts of ass.I really like the idea.Only thing is Paul Bearer's been released.They could always get The Undertaker to transform Kane,or something else.
But,I don't really like him being neutral.That would confuse the fans.I say have him just destroy Edge.Like have him friggin drowning in blood,and maybe even set him on fire.Then,they could do what happened to Anakin in ROTS,starting with him burning Edge like Anakin killed Dooku,and then just slowly transform Kane into a sick and twisted monster.

I'd rehire Bearer, personally. Taker's got his own business to take care of. Especially since Bearer's lost alot of weight...
I just want Kane to be FEARED....so feared that guys like Batista and HHH wouldnt want to face him...but that wont happen...
I dont think it'd be hard to reburn his body...how many continuity errors have WWE made? Too many. I had an idea that he'd have burn marks or something, but that probably wouldnt work....

That would be cool. But it's been said that ANgle and Triple H don't like each other backstage, so it might not happen....
I would love it if Conway does break out as a singles star though. A move to Smackdown could help get the title off Orlando Jordan and his damn hair and bring a little respectabilty to the title.

Oh,and from lordsofpain.net:
In an interview with The London Sun, Rob Van Dam spoke rather candidly about the ECW PPV. Van Dam, who is credited with first pitching the idea for the PPV, feels there is a faction within WWE trying to undermine its success:
"It will always be a problem because there are certain voices higher-up that like to flatten out anything that could jeopardize their stronghold, rather than seeing the overall benefit to the industry of something like this. So, for sure, there is going to be some turbulence and some swimming up stream. But this show has a strong possibility of finishing as the third biggest PPV of the year. And if that happens there's one guy in the office who is really good at making decisions and has the best interests of this business in his heart."
He also attacked the decision to include RAW and SmackDown! "invasions" at the show:
"Those guys are definitely not going to be drawing the ratings for this PPV. They are definitely not selling any seats. Nobody's coming to see them and they have no business being there. The original plan was to have only ECW alumni on this show. There is no place for somebody pretending they're hardcore when they were never there, whether they've got a sledgehammer in their hand or not! The WWE writers are taking part in the show, but us true hardcore ECW guys will vote out anything ridiculous they try to add to it."

Oh give it time. They'll probably trade RVD to Raw so Ego H can bury him some more. :o
But he's obviously telling the truth about the WWE. Which leads me to believe he'll leave once his contract is up, which of course will be better for him and his talents. Maybe he can go to ROH, TNA(If it's still around), or possibly some other indie wrestling circuits around the world.
Hey, I have an idea. Maybe they can include the show "Heat" on the draft and trade Ego H to Sunday Night Heat. Since they obviously believe that he brings in ratings, put him on that show and see what happens. :joker:

Oh give it time. They'll probably trade RVD to Raw so Ego H can bury him some more. :o
But he's obviously telling the truth about the WWE. Which leads me to believe he'll leave once his contract is up, which of course will be better for him and his talents. Maybe he can go to ROH, TNA(If it's still around), or possibly some other indie wrestling circuits around the world.
Hey, I have an idea. Maybe they can include the show "Heat" on the draft and trade Ego H to Sunday Night Heat. Since they obviously believe that he brings in ratings, put him on that show and see what happens. :joker:

I thought his contract expired a year ago and he re-signed with the WWE :confused:
But yeah, he's always ripping into Triple H and the WWE in interviews. I mean how can he lose anyways? He's already getting buried and he's never going to be the champion. Might as well get his shots in while he can :up:

How about we contact the gray aliens, make a deal with them and have them abduct Ego H and Stephanie. :oo
They should make him champion on Smackdown though. I remember they had a great potential feud with Jericho(as champion) and RVD, but we all know what happened with that. :rolleyes:
They forgot about RVD and made Ego H the champion. 0MG TR1LPE H BETS CHIMPIANO EVA!!!111111 L0l11!!!! :rolleyes:
You know. More than ever, I'm beginning to lose complete and utter faith in the WWE. I know I promised I would do this before, but this time I mean it, I'm not watching any WWE or that ECW PPV until something changes.
Especially with Ego H getting ANOTHER title shot at Batista. Storyline wise everyone has to earn their shot, but he can get as many as he wants. I mean, Jesus Christ, how many rematch clauses does he ****ing have?! It's getting very old and I'm getting quite sick of it.
Forgive me for ranting and getting angry, but it just pisses me off to see how the WWE was once entertaining, unpredictable, and had great matches for everyone. Now they're reduced to the Ego H Monday Night Raw Show.
I want to see more Edge, Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Christian, Batista, Hurricane(With the right push), Randy Orton(Let him develop more), Shawn Michaels(Still can put on a great match), and Kane. No more of this Ego H or Evolution love-fest, let them bring some new blood in and keep Ego H AWAY from the goddamn belt!
And when someone else wins the belt, don't let that big nosed jackass be the FOCAL point of a feud with a midcarder. Example: Ego H vs. Eugene while Chris Benoit was feuding with Randy Orton.
John Constantine
06-06-2005, 03:39 PM
Yeah, I feel the same thing. But to be honest, I don't really consider the championship on Raw to be the real championship belt anyways. I just see it as a belt that Triple H is allowed to hold onto because he can't hold on to the real championship belt currently in Smackdown. I mean look at it, that belt was practically handed over to him on one episode of Raw just because he happened to be the number one contender at the time and Brock Lesner jumped exclusively to Smackdown. That reeked of total bull**** right there.

There are rumors that not only will the draft lottery take place tonight on Raw, but that Sandman, Tommy Dreamer and the Dudleys will make an appearance tonight. Here's hoping that Sandman canes the hell out of the so-called general of the Raw faction, Edge.
I really have to be honest now, with the appearances of some ECW stars and the start of the draft lottery, which means that both Raw and SD stars will be on the same show, I'm feeling a bit hyped for tonight's Raw :up:
I know that there's the whole Edge/Lita thing but Lita should be with the ECW crew. Imagine if they played up how slutty Lita was and she tells Edge that he wasn't Extreme enough and she leaves with Sandman. That won't happen but I'd like to see it. I'd love to see Sandman cane the living hell out of Bradshaw on the 12th. Is Sabu confirmed for the show? I don't want to get my hopes to high for tonights Raw because I'll know I'll be setting myself up for disappointment, and it'll be something like Mark Jindrak on Raw
John Constantine
06-06-2005, 08:54 PM

That's what I want to start seeing with Cena again. More intensity and raps and less of the pandering.
It's not just ratings drop though, I'm betting it's part of the plan to have Cena go on Raw for a few weeks, then move back. I think the only reason why Cena is even on Raw right now is to reinforce the "No One's Safe" motto.

I'm really gonna like Cena being on Raw because he can be more vulgar and whatnot (like his raps and "five second salute" tonight). Either BAtista or HHH will get drafted to SD, and I'm guessing whoever gets drafted is gonna win the title at Vengeance, therefore taking that belt and replacing Cena.

I'm not watching RAW at the moment, but if Ego H moves to Smackdown then I'll watch Raw again.
I never watch Smackdown anyways, so I'll totally watch Raw again if Ego H is sent to Smackdown. Hopefully him and JBL can have a feud. :o
They definitely need to get Cena off of Raw and just let Ego H win at the PPV, then send him to Smackdown, so we won't have to be bothered with him anymore and we can watch Raw happily ever after.
Send Angle, Booker T, Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, London, Kidman, Big Show, and Charlie Haas to Raw.
Send Ego H to Smackdown so he can feud with JBL, Undertaker, and all the other hosses that Vince has a kinky fetish with.

Blasphamy! Just be happy there is an ECW PPV. How is this any different than the invasion before Heatwave '97? Or better yet, the one AT Heatwave '97? Only difference is RVD isn't playing the Uncle Tom. I woke my parents up tonight becuase when that segmant happend I screamed Balls at the top of my lungs. I am ordering th PPV. I am buying the Ultimate ECW Collection DVD. I accept the fact ECW is dead & that WWE owns it's corpse. So, if I was to look back at ECW I have to make the sacrifice & look back at the WWE presents ECW. I don't like it, but it's the way things are; & as a die hard ECW fan I am willing to make that sacrifce.

The last bit of Raw with the ECW guys kicking the asses of some of the WWE guys was pretty cool....but it kinda pales in comparison to when ECW first attacked the WWF during the Invasion angle. Sure, the Invasion angle sucked, but that one moment where Tommy Dreamer and RVD came out and beat up Kane and Jericho, then the former ECW wrestlers came out to "help" Jericho/Kane was one of the coolest moments on tv :up:

With the announcement that the HITC match still goes on despite the draft, I'm thinking Triple H will end up winning the heavyweight title and move to Smackdown. At least that way, the original WWE titles are all in one show (Raw), while the WCW titles are all on Smackdown.

06-07-2005, 03:44 AM
They would never send a wrestler the caliber of HHH to a sinking ship such as Smackdown, Cena may be popular but hes nowhere near as big of a draw as HHH, many people may not like HHH because he has made himself champ so many times but when he says he put asses in the seats, its the truth, also I'd rather have HHH be champ than Batista, because at least HHH can carry a match where as Batista needs someone to carry him.

Last night's RAW:
The Good: Cena and the possibilities of other wrestlers such as Christian go to the main event level. And of course, ECW ECW ECW!!!!!!!!
The Bad: Ego H of course. He used to be one of my favorite wrestlers but now he stinks because of his overexposure and politics. He can "win" the belt 32 times (twice as Flair), but IMO he'll never reach the level of Austin, Hogan, Flair, The Rock, etc. He and only he is the reason younger and deserving talent haven't been able to develop and reach main event status **cough** Orton, Jericho, Edge, Benoit, Batista**cough**.
The Ugly: Chris Masters (useless), The Coach (useless and stupid) and the Diva Search Contest 2 (useless, stupid and did I say useless???).

I hope Cena is Raw for good, simply because a switch-back would be a moronic twist. I rarely ever watch SD, so they need to add some big names from Raw to it to save it, however, for a big name to be switched from Raw to SD is like being sent from Coca-Cola to H-E-B brand cola. :(

I heard they were going to originally have HBK go to SD! and become heel,and then feud with Cena for the title.He didn't agree to it because HBK doesn't want to turn heel ( I think he doesn't want his kid seeing him as a heel) so they ditched it.But I do hope he goes to SD! and maybe continue his feud with Angle.
I sorta want Undertaker to Raw and Kane to SD!.Kane really needs to leave Raw ASAP.At least on SD! he would have a better shot at winning the championship.'Taker needs to go to Raw because there's no one on SD! that he hasn't wrestled with before.

I don't think Cena's going to stay though, honestly I think they drafted him just to prove the whole "no one's safe" thing they had been hyping and by the end he'll be traded back to Smackdown. I think it would be great for him to stay on RAW because of all the potential feuds he could have...Christian, Jericho, HBK..etc.

If Angle ends up staying on SD as well, those two can feud. Plus, Batista can also fight guys like Matt Morgan, Carlito, and the Big Show.

They only really moved Cena to Raw because they wanted to start the draft off with a bang and prove that anybody can be drafted, unlike last year, which was pretty uneventful.

They only really moved Cena to Raw because they wanted to start the draft off with a bang and prove that anybody can be drafted, unlike last year, which was pretty uneventful. But Cena is a good fit for Raw. I think yesterday was probably the first time in a while that I could actually stand his character.
I expect the next few drafts to be rather minor....but hey, I could be wrong and they could pull a big move on Smackdown this week as well.
Cena could be a more agressive face with rapping (hardcore) he could have done that at Smackdown but UPN made them tone it down.

I think it probably would've been a good idea to make champions exempt, but we'll see. I like the idea of Cena on Raw.
By the way, how/when did JBL get his political stroke in the WWE? I mean, I noticed it when they fired Ron Simmons and then JBL got a push to the top, but I never really knew why. I mean, I really like the JBL character, I was just wondering.
As far as I know, JBL was always like that. It has a lot to do with seniority, I think. He's been in the WWE for like 10 years by now. The only wrestlers right now who have probably been around longer are Undertaker, Triple H (HBK I'm not really counting because he was retired for a few years), and Hardcore Holly. It's probably why JBL and Holly are seen as the bullies in the locker room as well. They feel because they've been around for the longest, they have the most say....

That's why him going to Raw is a good move. Not only does it give him a chance to fight newer opponents - Christian, Edge, or even a heel Jericho, but he can probably go more full-out on Raw than Smackdown. I mean, I literally laughed my ass off at his five second pose :up:

Speaking of JBL when he feunded with Taker did they ever mention or make a refrence that he was once in the Minstry with Farrog (sp)?

Probably not. Continuity doesn't seem to figure much with the WWE...

I don't really like it much. His original suited him so much.
Why must they change a wrestler's theme music so much? First John Cena changes his, then Batista.....I swear, if they change Christian's....:mad: :(

they already changed Christian's
his Captain Charisma music was passed on to Tomko
his current music is pretty good though

Bradshaw was badass with the ministry sort of like Sniskey (only better) and then they turned him into a wimpy ass gentlemen

I mean, change it from the one he currently has. Probably one of the cooler themes nowadays. Just totally love his entrance :up:

Hey, Cena (who was more entertaining on the mic last night than he has been in God knows how long) called out Christian for his old Brood days. That was awesome and a good continuity reference.
John Constantine

Yeah, that was a nice touch there.
All that was missing was an appearance by Gangrel....:(
Twitch
06-07-2005, 05:11 PM
didn't he show up when JBL hired the ministry to take Taker out a couple months ago?
John Constantine
06-07-2005, 05:12 PM
Yeah, but that was a one-time only appearance. I think he's training in OVW for a full-on return.
And I'm glad for that, he was a pretty interesting character for the most part...

Cena can't mention the Hardy Boyz
if Matt were still around he would mention them being beaten up by *insert Hardy Boyz insult here*

So, are they just gonna be picking one person each week until the draft is done with?
Donnie Darko
06-07-2005, 06:13 PM
and are there really only 5 draft picks for each show? that pretty much sucks, considering they're bound to pick some of the people that are already on their show

I heard he is & that his match will be against Sabu & Shane Douglas in a 3 way dance.

Not necessarily. I remember when Jericho debuted 6 years ago & interupted The Rock. The Rock said something along the lines of "... Your greatest accomplishment was beating someone named... Juventud?!"

Well I just looked at the Smackdown spoilers, and it looks like the first draft pick for SD is:
Chris Benoit :up:
It's an interesting move might I say.....

I hope he wins the WWE title. . . Oh. . . that's right, they don't have the WWE title. :D
I think Teddy Long will ask Cena to hand over the title. I don't think Smackdown will be without a main champion.
Cena is a good fit for Raw. Now that Smackdown has Benoit the next pics should be HHH, and HBK

I'm glad he's back on SD! because after he won the title on Raw he was just wasted.

I'm hoping they just move the World Championship title to Smackdown. That way all the WCW titles could just be on one show :up:
