Also the drug scandal that came after Benoit's death resulted in the WWE now revealing all drug suspensions.

Yeah that's true.



Here's something kind of random but I found it earlier . It's a segment between Bret , Kane and Undertaker that took place in 2010.. almost ruined by the Raw anonymous general manager.

Kane was really at the top of his game during that feud , imo. It amazes me how well that character worked and Glen Jacobs longevity in WWE. It could of been a disaster . Also he's very knowledgeable about politics.

Here's an appearance on the reality report where Glen discusses a number of issues.

Watched Roberts vs Rude from MSG 10/25/88. I enjoyed the match quite a bit. I like the little things like Roberts biting Rude's hand to stop the Rude Awakening, and the way Rude sold Roberts' knee lift. The angle with Jake's wife certainly added to the match as well. I also dug the stipulation because every time a man went for a finisher there was a moment of anticipation.

True but I did enjoy the tease of Bret Hart vs The Undertaker and them making their entrance and squaring off even though we all knew the match wasn't going to happen.

Barrett pulled what I shall henceforth call "The Rob Conway." Other notable instances of "The Rob Conway" were done by Carlito at WM21 and Michael Cole on the most recent Smackdown.

Possible bit of WWE'13 news,Somebody posted this on another site..
"While at the book store tonight with my girlfriend I was reading some magazines and I was looking in an MMA magazine called "Fight Night" (March-April issue). There was a small story about MMA in entertainment. The magazine mentions how Ken Shamrock and Steve Blackman will be "playable characters in THQ's WWE 13 video game out in November.

The article did mention how Blackman portrayed an MMA fighter as part of his wrestling persona while Shamrock was a UFC fighter before entering pro wrestling."

Awesome news to me IF true,Always liked both and although I probably wouldn't play as them much weeks after release(better roster people out there)..I'd sure use their moves&theme songs for caws!!

Oh and no Yokozuna again.."THQ representatives wrote on Twitter that there are currently no plans to include 2012 Yokozuna in the WWE '13 video game. WWE '13 will reportedly have a nostalgia element to it but it won't focus on Yoko's era."

Sucks about him not being in But IF Rikishi makes it in then at least he'd be a nice substitute for Yoko!

There's a rumor that there will be two set of rosters&arenas such as Pride in UFC 3,WWE&Attitude Era!!

going through the smackdown belfast show shots, at the moment, great show a lot of yes chants, some great matches expect for the henry/tatsu squash. decent no dq orton/kane match kendo sticks and chairs a plenty

best moment of the night regal on the mic, he comes out admit that this is the speech to get us to boo him but then goes into a heart felt speech about how he's been in belfast many times over the last 20 years and honestly doesn't know if that night was his last time. big regal chant

the one down side i will say that the night was over by 10pm no one posed for the crowd no hanging around after the matches

ohh and it seems the cena crowd has latched onto cena, for every yes chant we got kids chanting no back

anyone else think it is time wwe turned orton heel

he is'nt doing anything of note and has been stale for months

wwe needs a top heel who is'nt part time aka jericho/brock

Orton's one of those guys I absolutely cannot stand whether he's a face or heel, but the company certainly needs some fresh top heels

 

[The Sage]

Which is why I look forward to when Ziggler gets elevated.

I used to skip New Jack's matches on the ECW videos, he's another one that should be dead by now, a guy though that did more damage to others
than himself.

The link is broken.

Not broken, you just need to know the right word to replace the *****.

Replace the * in B*TCH in I. And you get the proper link.

Two guys with no talent that fed off their own sadistic tendencies and dragged others down with them, I mean some of the guys they promote are just like themselves, but they have taken some guys like Nick Mondo and JC Bailey who could have been good regular wrestlers and reduced them to a scarred mess, or in Bailey's case a coffin.

Btw do you know where I can download the Mondo documentary? I am interested in hearing his post-career thoughts.

Just depressing to see some people devolve as they do.

A quick filestube search might help you out, HR.

Yeah that's right, you mentioned he was getting some ref work. If she isn't dating some loon from CZW then he should definitely make a movie, she's fine!

My friend and I are trying. We will get it done, for better or worse.

Two gimmick matches in one is so stupid, it's a waste and WWE are PG now so these gimmicks are pretty worthless, I'll await judgment but from a concept standpoint it's daft.

It reads like pointless overkill. They've overused several gimmick matches already, so they need to pile more crap into them to bring back some interest. That's what these gimmick PPVs do.

I want to like Orton more. I certainly don't loathe him and he's got all the tools to be great. He's smooth in the ring and he's obviously improved but man there is such a disconnect with him in terms of character. I think that affects his style and work in the ring. He's kind of dull...especially as a face. He's a natural heel.

Our Lady Peace Discuss Retiring The Late Chris Benoit's WWE Theme Song
Jon Chattman of The Huffington Post conducted an interview with Canadian alternative rock band Our Lady Peace where they discuss how they've had to retire Chris Benoit's WWE theme song "Whatever" altogether because of the incomprehensible tragedy that took place five years ago.

Over a three-day period ending on June 24, 2007, Benoit killed his wife Nancy and strangled his seven-year-old son Daniel before committing suicide via hanging. Chattman, a music blogger, asks band frontman Raine Maida and guitarist Steve Mazur if they still play "Whatever" following the event.

"I couldn't imagine singing that to be honest, it's so tied into him and the tragedy that happened, I just couldn't get it out of my head," says Mazur.

Maida adds they've removed the song from their catalog. Chattman thinks it a shame they no longer play it since it's such a "kickass" song.


loved his theme music, really wish they would have given it to another wrestler ,always thought it it could have worked well with Punks character.

^ I still can't believe what happened, regarding the Benoit family in 2007.

i think the tried to go more anti hero route kind of how austin did stuff that was'nt very baby face wise but it just did'nt work for him

 

[DBryan]

I think Orton's biggest problem is he just doesn't do anything character wise other than scowl and get angry.

 

[Dr. Evil]

All hell broke loose for the WWE from a publicity standpoint after that happened. I might be in the minority, but I believe that resulted in the WWE going TV PG.

I hope OLP eventually comes to terms with what happened and plays the song again. It's not their fault Benoit went psycho.

Ditto

i like ziggler but i personally dont think he has that main event screen presence yet that i get with punk/cena/ and orton

I think he's rather lackluster in the ring. You're right Metallo that's there's a disconnect. That disconnect is the "IT" factor. Orton doesn't have it IMO.

Like DBryan said, he mostly just scowls and makes ridiculous faces. His promos are slow and dull. He oversells and over-exaggerates all the time with his movements and facials. UGH! He's unbearable for me.

Which is why I look forward to when Ziggler gets elevated.

Well it's going to take a lot of work when you're freaking jobbing to Santino and Brotus

They need to get Dolph away from Vickie too. At this point she takes away from his character and is a distraction.

The major reason WWE went PG was due to the Mattel toy line deal

I'm pretty sure some of us felt the same about those three at some point. Heck, it took me sometime adjust when HHH became main-eventer before I could see it. Same with Edge. It took their work, some character evolutions, and a good push before they looked the part.

In his current persona, Ziggler isn't there. He needs more of an edge. Plus he needs to stop losing and get away from Jack Swagger.

Orton has the "IT" factor. I've seen it since his Evolution days.

It's funny. I like him as a heel, character wise. But I like him as a face in-ring wrestler.

I prefer his cocky "Legend Killer" persona over the Viper.

The losing needs to stop.

Vickie's a great manager, but I do agree that I think she does take away from him. I'd like to see Dolph stand on his own.

Or maybe, Vickie could continue being his manager, but with Dolph doing most of the talking. Just reduce her promo time.

I'll have to agree to disagree with you on Orton haha.

I think Dolph would be fine if he had a manager akin to someone like Heenan, Race, Cornette, or Hart. Those guys knew how to get heat without taking away from their wrestlers. They added a dimension to the guys they were with. Unfortunately Vickie isn't that type.
