Hey anything with The bWo means it's gonna be good :up:
I dont really know who they are. i know Nova and Richards, but i dont know why bWo is so popular.
Oh yeah folks...did anyone go to IGN yet? it has a preview of Smackdown VS Raw....

Oh,and watch the ''You screwed Bret'' chants come flying now that he's heel ;)
I said that earlier. I know they have always done it in Canada & when Raw came to my town in Florida back in January a couple people in the front row (myself & my friend Max included) were chanting it. It was during a promo with him & Edge & while he was talking he got interupted by 8 or 9 of us in the front row screaming "You screwed Bret." & he said to Edge "looks like some of your Canadian reletives are here to see you." I thought it was funny.

It's basically the nWo...but a parody. I mean how can you go wrong with Stevie Richards as Big Stevie Cool, Nova as Hollywood Nova, and the Blue Meanie as Da Blue Guy.
THat's much better than reviving the nWo for the 1000000000000000000th time :up:

Back in late 96 & early 97 in ECW, Stevie Richards & the Blue Meanie who were becoming a very popular tag team started parodyingother famous wrestlers. (the came out as the blue bloods & were Lord Stevie & Sir Meanie. They came out as Public Enemy & were Stevie Rock & Meanie Grunge...ect. & don't remember this but I saw on the Rise & Fall of ECW They had Nova Stevie & Meanie & someone else I can't tell who, being KISS) Well the last one they did (it was only the last one because it caught on like wild fire so they just went with it) They came out as the bWo. Then after Stevie went to WCW the bWo turned into the original J.O.B. Squad with Nova Meanie & Al Snow.
I should of watched Raw :( HBK is a heel great, now Cena can feud with him and Jericho before HHH wins "his" belt back. Maybe HHH will stay off Raw for a while (well I can pray anyway) Did HHH do anything this Monday? Chavo changed his name to Kerwin White WTF? I was looking forward to a Chavo/Shelton feud.

Chavo had SO much potential going to RAW. That's horrible what they've done to him.
R.I.P. Chavo. :(

I liked it because it was totally unexpected. Plus, HBK as a heel means that he might fight other face wrestlers - just imagine him in a full-on feud with Shelton Benjamin, or if they actually decide to go ahead with a RVD-HBK ladder match like Shawn wanted in the first place. I liked him as a face, but honestly, who else could he fight on Raw as a face?
Triple H-Cena might be interesting if they had Cena go over. Which I could see happening because the WWE really wants him to be the new Hulk Hogan/Steve Austin/Rock. And that's basically what they're trying to do with Cena. The WWE's always had a John Cena, if he's gone, they'll just find another OVW wrestler to whore out all their products....
The thing is Shelto Benjamin has no mic skills so they'll never push him and theyve signaled there intentions with RVD after his crap return on the cabana against another guy with a belt he doesn't deserve,The thing with Cena is he's crap,the 3 you mentioned were all good at what they did in their prime's,Cena is just a dumbass gimmick that HBK,Y2J and HHH are gonna have to whore their career's out to.
we have 4 champions in WWE and not one of them worth 2 craps

I actually didn't think RVD's return on the Cabana was that crappy. They finally let RVD speak his mind, plus they set up a potential feud with Carlito for the IC title in the near future. And with Benjamin, a feud with Shawn could do wonders for him. He could use Shawn to showcase what he can really do while letting Shawn do the majority of the speaking.
As crappy and lame as Cena is (I have to admit, I don't really like his gimmick right now, give me his old heel rapper gimmick), he is over with the crowds and his stuff sells. And really....was the Hulkster any dumber of a gimmick than Cena's current gimmick? Wasn't it even worse that more talented wrestlers like Macho Man and Ted Dibiase had to continually job and be made to look like fools in front of Hogan? It's sad, but the WWE's always done **** like this. It's never going to stop.....

That was what bothered me about the cabana,Carlito is nothing,he hasnt shown one good in ring performance in his entire time in WWE and now RVD has to carry his ass in yet another IC feud,RVD has been IC champ nigh on 5 times it's a waste of his talent,As for Cena my beef is he's crap in the ring,the crowd were bigger marks when Hogans lame gimmick was around but i though they'd goten smarter to a point,i mean Rock was extremely talented and austin whilst not my favourite was a force of nature,the prospect of a HBK/Hogan match makes me want to puke and the idea of building the show around a talentless plank like cena makes me want to stop watching altogether,the next year is set to feature Cena vs,Y2J,Edge and then HHH all those matches sound like utter garbage to me especially given the better wrestler will be doing the jobbing

I think the only thing that Carlito has going for him is his charisma. That's partially one of the reasons why I like him really, he can talk circles around any wrestler. And I think the WWE really wants to put him against a more talented wrestler (RVD, Shelton) in the hopes that they might get a rub off on him......I really don't mind RVD as IC champion as well. As long as he's done right as IC champion. I mean he was the TV champion for like 2 years on ECW and he was over as hell at that moment. I think he could get over as hell if he was marketed properly as an IC champion.
Yeah, Cena is pretty ****ty in the ring, but then again, so was Hogan. I mean Hogan's matches are all the same, have a little offence, get beat up on by the heel, start his no-sell schtich, huge boot, then leg-drop and victory! And the sad thing is, despite all the *****ing that goes on by the internet community, this won't stop fans from cheering them on when they're watching the matches in an event. That's why Cena still gets cheers by the crowds and why they continue to market him as their number 1 face champion.
And I really wasn't surprised by an HBK-Hogan match. It seems like Hogan wants to fight every major WWE star before he actually retires.
What can I say about Cena fighting those guys though? The WWE will continue to pull this. If you really want to see somethign different though, try watching the TNA Impact shows online, that might offer a way different alternative to the WWE....

The thing for me is find it pretty frustrating shelling out cash on a talentless hack like Cena when someone like RVD is languishing mid card,as for Hogan/HBK im not surprised just sadened that Shawn is gonna look like a total fool wrestling that old hasbeen,
As for whom Cena will fight your correct nothing can be said,WWE is a pimp and Cena their whore,You mention Hogan and yes his matches blew but ive become ascostmed to better matches since then especially with the likes of Rock,anyway WWE pretty much lost my cash after 15+ years they totaly ****ed up both shows line iups are garbage and there is no prospect of any good feuds

But with Benoit in the US title picture, he can help bring some legitimacy back into the title that has been totally ruined by Orlando Jordan holding the title - although that wasn't really OJ's fault. Who has Jordan feuded with for that title since winning it?

Believe me, I hear you. I'm still pissed that RVD didn't become champion back in 2001 when he was the most super-over with the crowd. But do you know why he's champion and Cena isn't? Because RVD is an ECW-product and Cena is a home-grown WWE product. Simple as that.
But I don't really mind an HBK-Hogan match-up or a HBK heel turn only because I really, really, really want to see Shawn and RVD fight in a ladder match at WM 22. Just thinking about that kind of a match is enough for me to let Hogan have one victory against Shawn at Summerslam.

sorry just doesn't fly for me,Hogan looks like an old man runing around in there,i gotta respect Austin for turning the money down he couldve made on a match with Hogan to preserve his dignity

in the winter idve had a feud between HBK and Angle for the belt that Angle would win,then on SD i would have Orton take the belt from Benoit at Survivor series

It doesn't have to be for the world title. IC title I could see. Plus, it could help with the whole history thing because the ladder match at WM 10 was for the IC title. And RVD is probably gonna win the IC title off Carlito when he returns anyways :o
But just the thought of one of the greatest wrestlers the WWE's had and one of the main innovators of the ladder match within the WWE and one of the best hi-flyers in pro-wrestling today wrestling in a ladder match in the "grand-daddy" of them all is enough for me to get excited over.

Actually, what I would've done was had Trips go over Batista at Hell in the Cell. Then have Trips move to Smackdown. Only because I hate the whole title unification thing and the creation of yet another championship belt for Smackdown. I also would've kept Shelton on Raw, but had Haas move to the show to start a feud with him.
And as much as those WM 22 matches sound, they'll never get that good. The road to Wrestlemania is always a predictable one. They always get the big wrestler to overcome odds, win the rumble, then advance to WM to win the title. Like I could actually see Cena drop the title around Summerslam-Survivor Series. Then enter the Royal Rumble and win the damn thing and win the title back at WM......:(

Put him in a match with Kurt Angle and it might be good. Which should happen for WM 22. Plus, the two have so much past history with each other, it'll be a great match......
Plus Cena could always pull a Hulk Hogan and choreograph the match for months ala Wrestlemania 6 ;)

I'm so sick of character's the rip off of Austin's character.The whole ''rebel'' thing is old.Cena rebelled against Heyman,now Bischoff,and didn't he rebel against McMahon? It's wrestling nowadays is heel vs. semi heel
Yeah, but don't worry, the WWE will eventually find a new idea for a face and they'll run that to the ground :up:

Hey, I want to see an Angle-Cena feud only because of the huge history between the two. I mean it was Angle extending an opening to challenge any wrestler that allowed the debut of Cena.
Plus, Angle can get a good match out of anybody. Honestly, has he ever looked bad in a match before?

To be honest, if you're looking for good wrestling, WWE's probably the place you shouldn't go to watch it. The WWE is nothing more than a spectacle. Aside from a select few (Shawn, Angle, Bret Hart, etc....and even those guys have good charisma), the best wrestlers there are not ones who are the best wrestlers per se, but just wrestlers that the WWE feels they can market the hell out of. Even the wrestling style of the WWE is watered down. I mean look at the way RVD wrestled in ECW and look at how he wrestled in the WWE. He's way more limited.....
Right now, places like TNA and ROH are good feds to watch good wrestling. Guys like Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles, and Samoa Joe are kicking so much ass on that show. Sure it may look cheap compared to the WWE, but then again, the WWE is all about show and very little on actual wrestling.....

First off, Carlito is not that bad. He is 20x better than Cena. To me, Carlito just needs some tuning maybe some time at OVW for a little bit of help toning his ability. As for Cena, he can hide his ****tyness if he knew how to carry himself in the ring but he looks like he just thinks of a move goes with it. He is also very lazy. After 12 minutes in the ring he wants to finish it so he can go & smoke more pot & pretend to rap. Not that I have a problem with smoking pot, but you have to be responsible. People like RVD, Rock, Jericho, Matt Hardy & Hurricane seem like examples of people who understand that. (Now don't take what I say seriously besides RVD I am mearly guessing that they smoke, but RVD & Rock are pretty open about it so I can safley say they do) But people like Jeff Hardy & Cena are the ones who need to get their **** together. Cena wants to get through match to have another joint & Jeff misses matches & appearances because he was too busy getting stoned. As for 'Taker, I still like Taker. He is talented, charismatic & for his age still has a lot of time before he has to retire. & if he has the ability to sell a gimmick for over 10 years & still be very popular you have no choice but to respect it.

Sounds pretty accurate & sad at the same time. Except for Tomko I see them pushing him as a heel. I don't think they should, but he is over 6 feet & around 300 lbs, so he isn't going anywhere because Vince has a fetish for muscular guys (& I do mean fetish). I can understand Sylvain though, I'm not saying he isn't good but there REALLY is no way to push him, if people didn't give a **** about him when he was a major player 2 years ago it won't happen now.
John Constantine
07-05-2005, 10:46 PM
The reason why I put Tomko there is because it seems no one gives a **** about him and his role is pretty pointless at the moment. He really serves no purpose at the moment.
That's probably why I didn't include Heidenreich or Christ Masters on the list. Although they both kinda suck, they're both involved in some angles at the moment, so they'll probably stick around for a while....:(

The only cut that surprised me was Billy Kidman. What were they thinking? This guy is one of the best "small" guys they have (or had) and they give him the boot just like that? Man, this guys time in the WWE was a waste. I wonder what Torrie has to say about his release. But anyway, I just don't get it. They cut guys like Kidman, Rhyno, Jindrak (and even O'Haire) that have potential but keep guys like Val Venis, Rosey, Hardcore Holly, Funaki, and Scotty 2 Hotty that will never amount to anything in this business.

I knew this was bound to happen eventually. My hope is he'll feud with Cena, but not over the championship; that way if Edge wins the championship then he can gain more heat and be built up as a credible champion.
As for Ego H's ego? It's always been out of control, it just didn't manifest itself in its purest and ugly form until he got with Stephanie, once they got engaged and married that's when we received the Anti-Christ that is Ego H.
Look I wouldn't have a problem with Ego H if he did what was right. I wouldn't have a problem with him if he shared the spotlight/title, I wouldn't have a problem with him if he didn't bury talented superstars.
I've gotten fed up with Ego H's performances(Only performs good when he wrestles HBK, Benoit, Jericho, or Angle) and hell, those guys can carry a dead corpse to a decent/great match.
I think of all the guys Ego H has buried. I think of Jericho, Benoit, Booker T, Steiner, Test, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy, Kane, and would've buried Brock Lesnar if he could've got away with it.
You know what I say? I say we all just hurt the WWE where it hurts the most and that's the wallet, stop giving in to their crap and just stop watching. I haven't watched Raw or Smackdown for the last two or three weeks, and that phase will continue; that is until something changes for the absolute better of the company.

Matt Morgan? What the ****? He's a big guy that can actually wrestle and has intensity. They fire him and keep Masters around? :mad: :rolleyes:
Haas released? I'm pissed at this one as well but not surprised since the WWE did not seem to give a **** about him in the first place....
But why release the Dudleys? They were the most over of any tag team and their return could've been big. I guess the WWE really doesn't give a **** about the tag team division :down
And another release has been announced: Kenzo Suzuki
I wonder who else is going to be released....:rolleyes: :mad:

I think all these releases mean that the WWE's planning on combining rosters again.
That's why I was so totally against bringing the two rosters together. They'll just release a whole ****load of wrestlers in the effort of having a more streamlined show.....

He's been around for atleast 2 years. Maybe even 3. He just hasn't been used on tv until recently...
does torrie still work for the wwe?
Last time I checked yes. I hope Kidman's release doesn't lead to her exit. :(
They should set up a Batista VS Lesnar match and have Batista completely destroy him.

The releases keep coming. Joy Giovanni is the latest.
On the other hand though, I loved this message Spike Dudley posted:
"I'M BACK!!!!!!!!
And in more ways than one. First, yes I'm gone from the WWE. Does it sting? Hell, yeah. Especially since I've always been one of their "model" employees. It makes sense that I was released, I don't *****, moan, groan or suck. I just didn't fit in with what the WWE puts on tv. No, I'm only kidding(but not really). It was my turn and that's the nature of the beast. The WWE is a sinking ship. Cursed by owning 100% of the industry, I can see how they couldn't afford my outrageous salary in these times of number crunching. Hey, they gave me a great oppurtunity and maybe I didn't make the most of it. That's life. At first I was pissed, but I woke up this morning feeling, I don't know, alive. Check this out, this morning I woke up and visioned having a wrestling match without a script. I visioned going to an arena and actually having fun again. I visioned not having to go to the hospital after being hurt by a "future" WWE superstar who may look good but have the wrestling ability of a dead walrus. I visioned pitching an angle without having to get approval from writers who 6 years ago were buying ECW tickets and making signs(it's true). Hell, I visioned blading!!! I really don't want to burn bridges(if I haven't already) and all that, but that company sucks the life out of you and then spits you out. Enough on them.
I want to love wreslting again. I want to be passionate about the business. It's been so good to me, I want to give back. I don't know how yet, but it will happen.
Right now, I'm going to chill. I've got some time to sit back and re-evaluate life, smell some roses and get my head straight. I doubt you've seen the last of me. And if anything it's a blessing. Nothing sucks worse than working for a company that doesn't respect you. Paul E.(God bless him) proved that to me. Now I don't have to worry about it.
Majik, you f'n rock. Big boost this morning, thank you. I"ll be in touch.
Everyone in Dudlyeville, you all are the best. My many thanks to everyone for the support and love you've shown. Now that I'm on my own I will be back more often, so it's fun time.
I can't name everyone but you know who you are. Keep the faith, and if anyone is hiring get in touch.
Thanks guys,
Spike "no more tears" Dudley"

Gotta disagree with you about the Dudleyz being the most over tag team in the wwe. For me, it's gotta be MNM. They're absolutely great, though the tag division at this point is absolute ****. E&C are way past tagging with each other and close to being world champion on each of their respective shows. The Dudleyz are gone. Jeff Hardy is in TNA and Matt Hardy.....well.......maybe we'll see him soon seeing as how if he returned I think he'd be super over.
John Constantine
07-06-2005, 06:37 PM
Sorry for triple-posting, but this just makes me laugh:
Despite the 10-year age difference and tribulations, Brock Lesnar (age 27, he turns 28 next Tuesday) and Sable (age 37, yes that is her REAL age) were together as a romantic couple for about two years or so after coming together while they were both on the Smackdown! brand in 2003. As we all know, Brock Lesnar left WWE in March of 2004, but the two stuck together while Sable stayed in WWE for a few more months until parting ways with WWE last August.
Well, seeing how Brock wasn't competing anywhere, he had no source of income whatsoever. His funds have finally dried up and Sable has decided to leave him. There were plans of the two getting married sometime this year, but that would obviously be off the cards now.
There is no doubt that Sable leaving Brock had to be a factor on his impending return to WWE. And seeing how Sable has left Brock, that pretty much dashed any hopes for those of whom who thought Sable may follow him when Brock would make his eventual return to WWE.

MNM is an okay tag team, but to me, the Dudleys were the most over of any tag team that was left in the WWE. And it makes absolutely no sense why they were released. They could've been great opponents for MNM to fight on Smackdown.
Honestly, just scrap the tag team division. There's like no tag teams left anyways....

If all goes well tomorrow morning, Brock Lesnar will be signing a WWE contract and will be brought straight to SmackDown as it stands now. That could change though upon his return as it would be a 'shocker' type deal if he came back on RAW. We do know the two sides began talking again last week.

Are you serious Lesnar has a bigger ego then Triple H. Hell he once tried to fight him back stage and got punk by The Game and when I say punked I mean Triple H beat him up that he was sporting a black eye to house shows for a while.
I'm not saying Lesnar didn't have an ego. He had one himself, but he didn't bury others or make others look bad in the process, which is something you can't say about Ego H himself.
Ego H is a Grade A punkass himself; I remember how much crap he used to talk about Goldberg and when he confronted Goldberg, he didn't do crap or say any crap to him then. However, he'll gladly do it behind someone else's back from a distance.
And Lesnar is no softie either, Hardcore Holly tried bullying him in the ring and Lesnar broke his neck.
Anyways, I hope TNA gets that TV deal on Spike TV soon.

In fairness HHH put both Benoit and Batista ove multiple times and Lesnar never put anyone over and Goldberg is the lazyiest big head ever,the bottom line is i hope Lesnar does return,i like him but the WWE's biggest problem right now is they are putting straps on talentless mid carders and side lining real talent,the fact Raw is to now be built around crap like Cena just made mew switch off

It's because they try and find an entertainer, not a wrestler. Why is John Cena given the title? Its' because he can branch out beyond wrestling. He has a CD, he has a movie coming out. Look at a lot of their former stars (Hogan, Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H). All of them went beyond wrestling and into other forms of media. That's why Carlito is given the IC title as well. His wrestling skill isn't good, but his ability to speak is better than most wrestlers. You think of Kurt angle had mic skills, you think he would still have gotten all those titles?
Honestly, all the WWE cares is why is the most marquee wrestler, not necessarily who is the most skilled.

look at how the shows are shaped up,SD is a dead end show where Orton has no one to feud with but Batista:rolleyes: and on Raw theyve turned HBK heel so now Cena has the top face position all to his lameass self with shelton and RVD playin second fiddles

Well we were lucky with Lex Luger. I think they were considering giving him the title numerous times but backed away from it. They honestly wanted him to be the next Hulk Hogan :rolleyes:
To be honest, I really don't blame the WWE for trying to make Cena their star. It's good business sense from their standpoint. Here's a guy that they've developed since way back then. He's also a guy that doesn't get into much trouble backstage (unlike Edge), and he's a guy who can talk well on the mic and was (and may still be) super-over with the crowd. The WWE thinks they can probably get millions of dollars off selling his name rather than with Shelton or RVD (although RVD was also just as big as Cena was back in 2000-2001). If anything, blame those fans that cheered huge for Cena last year and continue to buy his products.....

Unfortunately, if Jericho leaves WWE he's more likely to go to Japan, where he has history and where the money's actually competitive with what WWE pays (especially in the current slump). The only reason he'd go to TNA is to be closer to his wife.
How the heck does TNA even make money? Does anybody know? I have an MBA, I've familiarized myself with their programs and products, and I can't for the life of me figure out their business model, unless PPV's are off-the-chart successful.

Jericho still has Fozzy and his weekly digital radio show to keep him busy and he's big enough in Canada to do something. He's guest hosted OTR a few times and could easily host his own show.

TNA definitely has the ability to build up a great roster. The problem with TNA was Dusty Rhodes and Jeff Jarrett; and apparently Dusty resigned as the booker, and Jeff Jarrett is no longer the champion(as far as I know).
With those apparent upgrades in my opinion, they can build a great franchise around Raven(who is the champion as far as I know), and with the current WWE releases they can only make themselves better. I mean, think about the possibilities.
NWA Heavyweight Title Contenders
Raven
AJ Styles
Ron Killings
DDP(Is he still there?)
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy
Monty Brown
Name me some other heavyweight contenders please
Personally, I think the highlights are the X-Division now.
X-Division Title
AJ Styles
Kidman
Jeff Hardy
Kazarian
Shannon Moore
Charlie Haas
Spike Dudley
Akio
I haven't seen TNA in a good while, so I don't know all of the current rosters which includes the heavyweight title, tag team titles, and the x-division championship as well.
I hope they sign Marty Jannetty, since it's proven he can still go and wrestle great matches. I feel bad for him too. I was looking forward to seeing him on television again and what not, oh well, I guess it proves the WWE are really morons at mind and bastards in the heart.

DDP left TNA a few weeks back. But they have Abyss, who's a lot like what Kane should really be. And he could move/wrestle pretty good for a fat guy.
Frankie Kazarian also just recently signed a WWE contract and I believe he's due to appear in the WWE anytime soon. Don't forget Chris Sabin though. He's a pretty good X-division wrestler. So is the guy from Team Canada. Don't forget current X-division champion Christopher Daniels as well, who's probably the best thing in TNA and maybe better than a lot of what they have in the WWE right now. Elix Skipper is also kickass. Jerry Lynn is returning from a shoulder injury. They have HBK's cousin, Michael Shane. All in all, TNA has a very good X-division roster
Oh, and apparently one of the reasons why Marty Jannetty was released was because he really did go to jail early in June for a third DUI offense. Compound that with him not appearing at OVW when he was supposed to and I guess he was just deemed expendable.
Here's Jannetty's mugshot BTW:

Poor Jannetty, he was getting his life back together too. :( :down
I really feel bad for him because Shawn Michaels pretty much saved his life with christianity and so forth, I just hope that Marty doesn't fall back into the suicidal phase again. :(
Damn, at this rate, TNA could be a major force and I hope they do pick up Jannetty. Why is it that JBL can do a nazi salute in Germany(which is illegal by the way) to gain heel heat and isn't released, yet Marty gets a DUI and he's released? Talk about your hypocritical double standards with the WWE.
John Constantine
07-07-2005, 12:34 AM
It wasn't just the DUI though, it was also failing to report to OVW and probably they really didn't have much to do with him in the first place.
Plus, JBL has a lot of seniority within the WWE. Probably another reason why we won't see Hardcore Holly among the releases as well.
I would also like to see TNA pick up Matt Morgan. That guy could really do wonders in the heavyweight division there. And with the plethora of talent that could be in the X-division, TNA could be pretty good competition if they can get a tv deal done.....

I think WWE is in the dark ages. Is it there fault?... Mostly, but at the same time it is because WE are smarter. From the creation of professional wrestling in circus tents back in the 1800's all the way to about 1978, the people were more than marks... they were just plain stupid. Then from there the people, while still marks, were bored. So they demanded something more visual; & in 1981 when Vince expanded, he gave them that. It wasn't untill the monday night wars that people started paying attention to what happend backstage & started realising who was pure & who was pure ****. My point is though, that vince isn't doing anything different he is just too blind & bullheaded to realise that it doesn't work anymore... (but considering Cena's fan fare, maybe it does.) Vince puts off this patriotic, all American attitude. Maybe he should have taken advice from Ben Franklin before buying WCW when he said (I'm paraphrasing a little) "A rebelion every so often is a good thing." If WCW was still around & on tv, maybe Vince would be more motivated to up his game again. Or if TNA gets a deal with Spike then maybe WWE might get good again.
As for the cuts, I am pissed. I am actually insulted by the Dudleys release, but not mad. Because they are more than likley going to TNA & get the NWA tag titles & up their credibility ( not that they need it) to be the best tag team ever... They are already in the top five
I say it's
1. Road Warriors
2. Dudley Boyz
3. The Outsiders
4. The Rockers
5. New Age Outlaws
Anyway, I am very mad at Kenzo's release. I am a huge Kenzo fan & truley believe that he was completley wasted & it's a shame he didn't have a chance to get over at all, considering he was so close to returning. WWE is like the Stephen Hawking of wrestling. Rich, smart but in terms of wrestling, has no chance of standing up next to others.

I think all these releases mean that the WWE's planning on combining rosters again.
That's why I was so totally against bringing the two rosters together. They'll just release a whole ****load of wrestlers in the effort of having a more streamlined show.....
I hope you're right. I hated the darn roster split.

Most of these roster cuts were expected because these stars weren't hardly used but the one that shocked me the most was the dudleys. But if you read that they were in negotiations with the company about a new contract which the previous one was at the end of it's time. The one thing I hope is if Lesner does comeback he stays till the contract is up.

I thought the roster split was a good idea. Mainly due to the fact that we got to see guys we never would see; I mean think about it for a second, if the roster split hadn't happened we wouldn't have seen the likes of Paul London or Rey Mysterio in the first place.
Granted the roster split has created/rehashed boring feuds, matches, and storylines in general. However we can agree that it's the fault of the WWE hiring Hollywood soap opera writers.
If they combine the roster then it could be good. They just have to find a way to get Ego H away from the championship; maybe sending him on a 4 year vacation would do it.

I like Cena (hell of a nice guy when I met him) I just didnt want him to be champion well ever, I could live with him being the IC or Tag champ though. Maybe HBK will take that title from him. I can pray cant I. And while I dont like HHH and never really have I hated him when he used to bow I didnt like him as leader of DX (but it was funny as hell when he was The Crock) and I dont like him now I CAN respect what he does in the ring and Trips ego doesn't even compare that of Hogan.

Yeah, I've always liked the roster split only because it created a sense of rivalry between the two shows. Plus, it helped give a lot of wrestlers exposure that they wouldn't have gotten if they didn't split.

oh as a person i couldnt comment i just dont feel he is anywhere near good enough to be champ,as for HBK well i stopped watching Raw after the travesty this monday,HBK as a heel is stupid and working with Hogan will just be humiliating,if WWE had any sense they wouldve sent him to SD to be the main face and feud with orton,that way when Lesnar gets there they wouldve had a good quartet to to share the belt around in Batista,Lesnar,HBK and orton

cos all i see is HBK is about to be a made into a fool to sell a tired old fart and then after that is done he can play punk for the lameass Cena,it's no coincidence that WWE have taken the 3 best guys,(HBK,HHH andAngle) and made them heel all on Raw,theyve done that to feed Cena one big name after another to whore his merchandise

They could initially have Lesner come in as a heel though and try and challenge Batista for the title. Batista and Lesner feud with Batista getting the upperhand. Their feud ends with a show of respect between the two, and this could turn Lesner to a face. Batista could then feud with Orton, Orton wins the title. Lesner then challenges Orton for the title.....or something to that effect :confused:
I have to say though that SD bringing back Brock does open up a lot of new things. It's probably why Matt Morgan got released. No reason to keep the Brock Lesner wannabe around when the real thing is returning again :D

As noted earlier this week by PWInsider, Triple H was at RAW on Monday. WWE management knows that he has been overexposed the last few weeks and have opted to keep him off WWE RAW for the next several weeks. We don't have any confirmation on when exactly he'll make his return.
From WWE.com:
Just hours before his meeting with Vince McMahon, an optimistic Brock Lesnar sat down with WWE.com to talk about his departure last year, possible upcoming return and more.
"I've had some contractual disagreements with WWE, as well as a lawsuit. But I'm ready now to see if we can do some business together.
"It wasn't easy for me to leave," claimed Lesnar in regards to his 2004 departure from WWE. "I struggled with the decision for a while. I realize people have their opinions about me leaving, and they're entitled to those opinions. That's why they live in America."
After making the decision to leave WWE, Lesnar set his sights on becoming an NFL star. His unsuccessful pursuit to the gridiron was highly publicized, but it was one he still looks upon fondly. "I'm glad I did it. I didn't want to look back years from now and regret not taking that chance," said Brock on his decision to try football. "I'm done with football now, though. Like I said yesterday, professional wrestling is in my blood. This is what I want to do. You only get one life to live, and I'll be damned if I'm not going to live my life to the fullest."
If all goes well between Lesnar and McMahon today, the former WWE Champion still has to consider how he will be received by the WWE Superstars. "I have to take into consideration that this is a business," replied Lesnar regarding any ill feelings toward him. "Hopefully, a return is what everybody wants to see. I can tell you that I will commit myself to be the guy I was in the ring before I left. If there's problems from the boys, that's not my problem. I never had a problem with them. They've been nothing but great to me in the past.
"If I do come back, though, people should be aware that they need to be on their toes," Lesnar continued. "There ain't nobody that can hold a candle to me."
Stay tuned to WWE.com as more on Brock Lesnar and his meeting with Vince McMahon becomes available.

I saw this on WWE.com
Christy Hemme was a “Juggy” dancer on Comedy Central’s “The Man Show.”

I'm beginning to think that the WWE is trying to cut it's roster, because they're ditching Velocity and Heat
that's probably just part of it

Heat use to be good back in 1997 & 98, they had some great matches back then I remember Ken Shamrock vs. Kane but now heat just sucks.

Actually I think two of them were the Basham brothers.

How do you know? Just guessing, or did you read that somewhere, cause they sure looked like a bunch of white guys to me. :p

Yeah, but they did do that stupid warning, and they have the excuse of it being filmed Monday night.

Still, they could've edited it out. I even read that they were going to edit out that footage for the show.
But I guess negative publicity is better than no publicity :confused:

I just read that the Dudleys (all 3) got released along with Maven, Kidman and some others.
John Constantine

That was reported like 3 days ago....:confused:
The only thing we're waiting for are the other releases to come....
Matt Morgan Haas, and Gayda have been released also.
John Constantine
07-08-2005, 07:03 PM
Yeah, look back a couple of pages for a huge ***** session about these releases ;)
I'm personally disappointed about the release of Haas. And the WWE's "reason" for it? He didn't have any charisma. I wonder if it had anything to do with them just not doing anything properly with him in the first place :rolleyes: :mad:

I dont look back more than a page ever so :o ;) And I only check wrestling websites like 2 times a month
No mic skills was the reason they got rid of Jerry Lynn a long time ago too. No charisma, Benoit has no charisma either so to the wwe :rolleyes:

Thanks to Julian Zelones for the following:
Just to let you know that here in Australia, the Undertaker attack angle was edited off SmackDown this week. The show airs here on Friday afternoons only a couple of hours after it has aired in the US.
Thanks to Matt Marolf for the following:
John Cena vs. Edge for the WWE Title is being advertised for the August 2 Raw house show in Albany, NY.
Thanks to Adam Lunau for the following:
I just wanted to pass along that I was watching CNN Headline News tonight and they had a bit on Hulk Hogan. It wasn't long and mostly focused on his new TV show but there was one mention of WWE RAW. Hogan did say that Shawn Michaels, "my best friend" (as Hogan put it), recently turned on him and that he is training for SummerSlam. I think we all thought that's where it was going but there you have it out of Hogan's mouth.
*pukes*:mad: :down I gotta say im not a big Austin fan but i give him credit for turning down a match with Hogan and not degrading his legacy......poor HBK:(

And look what happened with Jerry Lynn. He kicked ass on TNA putting on great matches with guys like AJ Styles.
I hope the same can happen with Haas. He could be a great addition to the TNA roster. :up:

I doubt Shawn has anything to worry about. His legacy will still be intact. Everyone will still remember the great matches he's put on.
Plus, a lot of people are interested in seeing Hogan and Shawn wrestle. I don't know why, but it could have to do with those two being some of the biggest names in WWE history :o
I need to start watching TNA more :(

Oh im sure some ppl will be excited:rolleyes: but the fact Hogan can barely move means HBK will be forced to sell the crap outve him and Hogan is so lame and his gimmick so stupid its degrading...the 2 biggest names crap only works when both guys are still good IMO...AGGHHHHH nevermind i just F**cking hate this HBK heel S**t and i won't be watching anyway..:(

But when Hogan was good, Shawn was still in diapers ;)
Seriously, this match is just a way for the WWE to get more buyrates on their PPVs. People will look at the card and see "OMG!!! Hogan is fighting Shawn Michaels!! I must get the PPV now!!!".
Or at least that's what the WWE hopes will happen :o
