I wanna see Ambrose bust out some hardcore CZW ****, would actually shock the crowd since they havent seen anything crazy in forever. Maybe have him and Foley battle it out for 'Hardcore Legend' name?

No way would WWE let him do some CZW stuff, thats TV-MA stuff and WWE is PG. It would be heavily watered down.

Well Men.....Enjoy

Damn.Ambrose out talks 90% of the current WWE roster.

Hope WWE does not mess this up, he could be something real big.

I'm watching Hogan vs Taker at Tuesday in texas...And I'm wondering why it took WWE 6 years to give Taker his second world title. His purple gloves incarnation was the only one not to get a World Title too. Taker of course seemed extremely popular, even if he never was THE guy, so I'm wondering if anyone knows more about Taker's lack of title runs earlier in his career. Does it have something to do with his "Special attraction" status?

Tough Enough is a waste of a return:

WWE RELEASES TOUGH ENOUGH WINNER
By Mike Johnson on 2012-04-23 12:54:21
World Wrestling Entertainment has released the winner of the most recent Tough Enough season Andy Leavine, who was working in WWE developmental as Kevin Hackman.

Leavine was named the Tough Enough winner for the series' return to cable TV in 2010. Leavine, who was a standout football player in college, had been signed to WWE developmental before being cast for the series.

After winning the Tough Enough season, Leavine was only seen in vignettes about his training to become a WWE star and was never utilized again on the main roster. At one point, he was suspended for a violation of the company's Wellness Policy.

How come you cannot be both a special attraction and world champion at the sametime?

From what I've seen of Dean, I like, but I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to get "mizzed" by the WWE booking team.

Part of the reason is The Undertaker, especially back in the old days, was not a character you could easily import into different media. You could not put him on a talk show, a mainstream media interview, he could not present an award or even make a lot of public appearances. It's hard to put your primary championship on that kind of character.

WWE may be PG, but if Foley/Ambrose is going to happen, it has to be hardcore.

What do you mean by "mizzed" exactly?

I see what you're saying

I've seen interviews with him and Paul Bearer on Regis and Kathy, and they pretty much mock the **** out of him, hahaha.

For those interested, WWE added the new Stone Cold doc, the Ladder Match 2 DVD, and the Shawn/Bret rivalry doc to netflix instant stream.

A few days ago some of us were talking about WWE vs TNA cross-over dream matches But now I'm curious on who you'd want to jump-ship IF some decided to!

I'd like to see Jeff Hardy back in WWE. I think Roode will eventually jump ship.

Jack Swagger to TNA?

Eh, the idea that the current generation doesn't stack up is already the mindset of the fanbase, whether WWE pushes the new guys or not.

I don't think it's a matter of "sending a message", more along the lines of it is capitalizing on things that the fanbase would actually want to see. I've got no beef with Rock v. Brock.

As far as Jericho goes, I'm glad that he's enjoying success outside of WWE, but it is frustrating watching him come back for just a couple months, only to leave and go on tour again for a band that nobody gives a crap about. I want to watch Jericho wrestling, not touring with a rock band.

Well they might do it inadvertently. Brock vs Rock is a main event but it's only momentary. Where do you go from there.

As for Jericho , I think he is a talented singer but I'm not into Fozzy that much. I'll miss him not being in the ring. I'm in the same boat as wanting him to find success and being healthy though.

And WWE's dumb decision to give it to Andy instead of Luke (or Matt for that matter) came back to bite them in the ass! t:

The story goes that Hogan saw The Undertaker as a threat so he flat out lied that his neck was injured by the Tombstone Piledriver (a story he still tells to this day) at Survivor Series 1991 and complained to Vince that The Undertaker was an unsafe worker.

Meanwhile, The Undertaker felt bad after hearing the news until he watched the footage and noticed Hogan's head didn't even touch the ground then got pissed and has heat with him ever since.

So yeah, another talent held down for years because of Hogan. Undertaker finally got the belt again to change things up as well as a reward for his loyalty to WWF.

 

[bullets]

Damn Hogan , WTF!


Also not surprised Andy got fired , they should of went with Luke.

Triple H's WCW debut! t:

Never understood why people thought the wolfpac was cool, thought they was rather boring. And Sting was the loner fighting for wCw until he joined the Wolfpac and they made Goldberg the loner fighting for wCw, so they didn't need Savage for all that. Another thing wCw did that was confusing was having Piper have his own faction.

Remember the ppv Sting came in and made his decision to join wCw, it was NWO vs. WCW vs. Pipers Team. Why wasn't Piper and his team apart of wCw??? Its like there was faction wars all over the company that made no sense whats so ever. NWO vs. WCW vs. 4 Horsemen vs. Piper's Team vs. NWO Wolfpac vs. Goldberg.

The thing was Savage could have been an active threat to the NWO while Sting was in the rafters for 18 months, instead the only hugely over face that worked with the NWO was DDP, the face roster was too thin.

That was the typical WCW mess but down to Piper not wanting to be seen as a WCW guy.

Well Men.....Enjoy

Someone revive Sage!

Special attraction is the main reason, Taker replaced Andre and it gave Vince a WWF title match and Taker vs a monster special attraction match for PPV's.
