Vince McMahon restarted the Wrestling Thread and ruined it

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

Well then for Gods sake man put me back on ignore because I really want nothing to do with you.

Show and prove. You want nothing to do with me? Then stop responding to me. It's quite simple, really.

I'll await to see how much willpower you have.

 

[Metallo]

My beef isn't with how you talk about Dwayne, It's with you.

There's a difference in making a point in a post and making a point in a post, and then condescend and basically make them seem stupid for having an opinion.

Every point you make is a good point, and I enjoy reading your point of view, That's why I stay on here. What bugs me is the way the rest of your posts come across.

If my posts "come across" a certain way maybe you are being to thin skinned.

I've never tried to make someone feel stupid for having an opinion but I'm not gonna put on kid gloves just because I feel a certain way or feel that I can't say what I want to. The only time I ever get any kind of way with anyone is if they do it with me. Like your condecending snarky "I'm wrong and you're right" remark. I even RESPONDED to you telling you thats not how it was and you still seemed to be pissed off over it. Right there in writing. What more do you want?

If you got some issue with me I apologize because I never meant it to come off that way at all. But don't accuse me of doing things I never did. Like I said I disagree with a lot of people, we all do, and most of us have never had the kind of issues you are talking about.

 

[Big Green]

I spent time reading three pages of you basically badgering a guy into breaking Rule #1 of the Internet- don't give out personal info.

The "your right I'm wrong" wasn't meant to be snarky, you were right. I had no more valid points to make, so I was ending our discussion.

Like I said Metallo, I enjoy reading your posts. You know your s***. I just think you come across as an a** from time to time. That's just my point of view. I'll do a better job of reading your stuff, and try not to look at it that way.

 

[Metallo]

Funny how he accuses me of the "victim" card, when virtually anyone and everyone that get into a debate with him makes the same claims about him.

Common denominator and all that...

Not a victim nor have I run in and out of here faster than The Flash constantly crying about how I'm mistreated. Unlike some people...

Its hilarious how you need so jump behind someone else THEN make your point like you need support. Its the way you always do it though. not surprising.

Show and prove. You want nothing to do with me? Then stop responding to me. It's quite simple, really.

I'll await to see how much willpower you have.

I'd say you were playin dumb but maybe its not playing.

You were the one who came in here to stir the sh** after tucking tail and running away like you always do, Nell.

If you want to stick around I really don't give a damn but we all know you're going to cry about being the victim yet again and then storm off in a huff complaining about the IWC and the usual sh** you do. We can set our watches to it. You'll get rid of yourself for me in due time.

If its about willpower you clearly have non because every time you leave you can't seem to stay away. You even admit you stalk me on the thread seeing what I say about you Creepy much?

 

[Metallo]

I spent time reading three pages of you basically badgering a guy into breaking Rule #1 of the Internet- don't give out personal info.

So some guy volunteers that what he does for a living makes him more right than me and makes him an expert and I can't at least ask him what he does for a living? Where is the issue there. I didn't bring up the subject of what he does for a living he did to validate his position. I even told him what I do. I even said you don't have to tell us anything detailed later on just whats your job. Like I said "I work at a newspaper with print ads. Where do you work?" If you are going to bring something up yourself to discredit someone expect people to enquire. He should have just not mentioned it and stayed on the topic at hand.

The "your right I'm wrong" wasn't meant to be snarky, you were right. I had no more valid points to make, so I was ending our discussion.

You did the same thing you accused me of doing. Thats how it came off anyway. You sure didn't clarify it even after I told you thats not how it was or not how I saw it. Maybe you see how it feels now. You say I bully people but I told you myself I didn't think you were wrong. How does that help what you are saying make any sense? If I were a bully I wouldn't have been concerned enough to take the time to clarify what I was saying. I would have just said "yeah you're wrong" but I didn't want you to go off thinking that because thats not right.

Like I said Metallo, I enjoy reading your posts. You know your s***. I just think you come across as an a** from time to time. That's just my point of view. I'll do a better job of reading your stuff, and try not to look at it that way.

Like I said I only dish out what I recieve and I'm not going to hold back or be ashamed of my opinion if I feel strongly on something. If someone has a thin skin it aint my problem but I'm going to speak my mind.

 

[Team Andino]

Leaving WWE has been good for her already. She looks even better.

I feel like once the Diva's leave they start applying their own make up to look natural as opposed to how ridiculously over done they are for Raw. Eve here looks fantastic, reminds me of how great that pic of Bri Bella looked for her christmas card with Bryan. For once we get to see their natural beauty as opposed to what WWE declares as beauty which is usually overdone.

 

[TheFuture]

They are hilarious. See if you can find the video of him b****ing at a fast food drive thru.

I'd pay good money to see Joey Styles and Cornette go at it in an actual argument. Cornette really went after him over his comments on Obama. They ahd the exact opposite opinions of what I'd normally expect form two guys like them too.

Didn't Corny slap the sh** out of Santino in developmentaal? was it Santino? I'd LOL at a video of that.

Ha yeah I think he said Jericho set him up at that drive thru??

Surprised to hear that Joey was such a conservative, plus surprised to see that Cornette was such a liberal. Lesson learnt in regards to judging Americans based on where they're from.

Yup, he slapped Santino. Plus bawled out Batista for saying he learnt nothing at OVW. I don't think Jim liked his time there very much.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I think Miz v Punk could be AWESOME (sorry for the pun) but seriously, Austin was saying how guys need to learn to go with the flow, I imagine punks the best guy to learn that from right now, and I actually really enjoy The Miz on the mic and think he and Punk could have some great buildup

I think Miz is a mid-card act at best and certainly not a good fit as a face. Punk has worked so hard this past 18 months I think he deserves a better Mania showcase than carrying a mid-card act personally.

I think he is as close as you can get in the modern day and age though, action films just don't have the cultural impact they did in the 80s.... whether he would have been successful in the 80's is another matter entirely

and I always preferred Sly to Arnie, the guy wrote the script for a film that won best picture, the other had some sort of huge debt to Danny DeVito

Action films have changed that is true, but saying Rock is on the level of Arnie and Sly is like saying Cena is on Hogan's level just because they are doing the same thing in different eras.

I was always a bigger Stallone fan as well, First Blood, Rocky, Cliffhanger and the underrated Lock Up, I think Sly was overall a better actor than he was given credit for.

Wow! Eve looks even more beautiful, she really suits that hairstyle.

lol, you have no idea what I'm even talking about. I'm glad that you're still obsessed with me tho. I'm flattered.



Thank you. Truth so much. Yet somehow I'm the bad guy around here.

*awaits for my post to be deleted - again*

I deleted your posts because they were trolling, I didn't infract you as I couldn't be bothered with your whining about being picked on. Metallo is a hardass in how he approaches his debates but he stands by them and takes what he gives and posts on topic, all you do is post snide baiting posts attempting draw someone into a fight so you can get them in trouble, knock it off.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I've only recently discovered the joy of Cornette's shoots. He comes out with some real gems, especially on HBK finding god and his thoughts on Sunny, both the person and the worker.

I love his shoots even when I don't agree with his views. The whole "I prefer an up front c**t" rant was classic. The thing I find interesting is that him and Shane Douglas HATE Shawn and trash him on all their shoots, yet both say he's the greatest performer ever, you have to be great when even the guys who hate you say that lol.

 

[brainchild81]

Actually having deep thoughs and an in depth response makes me emotional? Forgive me if I actually try to explain what I think .

How are you being reasonable when you seem to blame Cena for most of the problems in the company and act like every issue with WWE's poor booking revolves around him. Cena, Vince, Rock, The creative team, etc. ALL have their share of the blame. If you're the reasonable one why am I the one beign fair and critical of everyone while you aren't?

Not making a big deal out of anything. You're the one hellbent on trying to show me why Cena is the big problem when others are just as at fault.



But you know just when to come in to blame Cena and try to deflect blame form the Rock.

Lol. Relax. You ARE making a big deal of things. You made comments about me replying to something you replied TO ME on.

I have said my problems w/how the Rock's being used. I've also said let's blame the writers. It seems when you read my posts you focus only on the parts you can get pissed about. Work on that. If you looked at this more w/a more open mind you'd see that we agree on everything except the degrees. & while I'm not a fan, I'm not this crazed Cena hater you make me out to be. Hell, I've had to defend his stale ass on other forums.

Even though I disagree with Bret I can see why he may still have some ill feelings for H. Triple H was still way more of a b*stard about Montreal even after Shawn had basically said he felt bad about how everything went down. Shawn tried much harder to make things better between he and Bret.

I agree 100% w/Bret on HHH/UT. I don't care much about either of them but if a match is really great the viewer doesn't have to be emotionally involved to appreciate it. Two old guys hitting each other in the back w/chairs is not a good match. The old guys being HHH & UT makes no difference.

WWE isn't serious about tag teams again, @least not as much as they should be. They have a joke team as the champs & they punked out PTP to Ryback. Why didn't DY @least try to make the save?

 

[Slushy]

You can strongly dislike somebody and still respect them as a performer. That's how I feel about Hogan and Helmsley anyway.


A-Train turning face again = the return of The Hip-Hop Hippo!

He's right anyway, I prefer an up front **** too.

I can't bring myself to hate HH as much as I used to. He put Aries over on the mic strong as a mofo constantly when he was on his face run

Eve here looks fantastic, reminds me of how great that pic of Bri Bella looked for her christmas card with Bryan. For once we get to see their natural beauty as opposed to what WWE declares as beauty which is usually overdone.

I know, man. Sometimes I feel like WWE and TNA shoots the women in the face with that ****e make-up shotgun from The Simpsons.

For most of them more natural looking make up is aways better. Kelly Kelly is another who I think looks better away from WWE too. All the colorful stuff and eyeshadow look way too harsh on some of those women. Especially the ones that don't have the most naturaly attractive faces to begin with.

Ha yeah I think he said Jericho set him up at that drive thru??

That was so damn funny. Cornette just let that poor person have it with both barrels.

Surprised to hear that Joey was such a conservative, plus surprised to see that Cornette was such a liberal. Lesson learnt in regards to judging Americans based on where they're from.

Yeah that was crazy wasn't it? You'd think it would be the other way around. Sometimes people surprise you. Ventura, Kane, and JBL are other wrestlers who surprised me over the years with their political and/or economic knowledge. Imagine how shocked I was to see Bradshaw on CNN years ago talking money matters.

I'd love to see Jesse and Bradshaw talk politics. Love it just as much as a wrestling match or them in at the announce desk together.

Yup, he slapped Santino. Plus bawled out Batista for saying he learnt nothing at OVW. I don't think Jim liked his time there very much.

I'd hate to work for him despite all the respect I have for him. Putting his hands on Santino is unacceptable but hell I AGREE with him on Batista. he even had that kind of lazy rep backstage and talks about how people viewed him on his dvd.

I think Cornette despised that WWE environment especially when he had to go to Stamford, CT. That probably made him more grumpy.

I think Miz is a mid-card act at best and certainly not a good fit as a face. Punk has worked so hard this past 18 months I think he deserves a better Mania showcase than carrying a mid-card act personally.

Yeah Punk is just on a different level right now. They won't be able to build Miz up that fast. I feel that Punk should be a guy who stays near the top even if he doesn't have the belt. He's on that level now. He shouldn't be right smack dab middle of the midcard again.

Action films have changed that is true, but saying Rock is on the level of Arnie and Sly is like saying Cena is on Hogan's level just because they are doing the same thing in different eras.

I was always a bigger Stallone fan as well, First Blood, Rocky, Cliffhanger and the underrated Lock Up, I think Sly was overall a better actor than he was given credit for.

Agree on Stallone and Schwarzenegger vs Rock. I'd say Rock might be on the same level as Arnold around the time Commando and Predator came out but by the 90s? Rock is probably on a higher level than Van Damme and Seagal during their peaks. They had hits but only a few o them were huge hits. Thing is Rock hasn't really been the sole guy carrying many of his big movies either.

I loved Arnold and Sly's work growing up but I always preferred Sly as an actor too. I usually preferred Arnolds movies though. Demolition Man was another one I feel was underrated next to ones you already mentioned. For some reason it always seems to get lost between the comeback hit that was Cliffhanger and the failures of Judge Dredd.

Wow! Eve looks even more beautiful, she really suits that hairstyle.

The hairstyle looks great. Makes a big difference on an already good looking woman. I always figured WWE had to be told when a superstar was going to make major changes to their looks for marketing and merchandising reasons. Thats stuff is in the pipeline for a while.

I love his shoots even when I don't agree with his views. The whole "I prefer an up front c**t" rant was classic. The thing I find interesting is that him and Shane Douglas HATE Shawn and trash him on all their shoots, yet both say he's the greatest performer ever, you have to be great when even the guys who hate you say that lol.

That c**t thing had to be about Sunny. That was classic. I seem to remember him talking about Sunny vs Sable when he said that. I know he talked about Sunny in terms like that.

There's no denying HBK's in ring greatnes. I also remember Cornette saying how much of an a** Shawn was but he also said he was the greatest worker in WWF at the time.

Bret also talked about how great Shawn was even before they made up. Billy Gunn and Road Dogg did too in a shoot. talked about disliking the kind of guy he was but they said you can never take away from how damn good he was in the ring.

Compare Brets comments about Shawn before they made up and Brets comments about HHH now. Cornettes analysis of HHH, his skills, and where he really stands are pretty spot on too.

Its why Punk vs HHH turned out so stupid. They had the dynamic all wrong with HHH as the face. He shoulda been a heel. Thats why HHH helped draw so well as a heel when he worked against Austin, Rock, Foley, etc.

Lol. Relax. You ARE making a big deal of things. You made comments about me replying to something you replied TO ME on.

Jeez dude stop telling me to relax. Do you realize how uppity that comes off?

And why can I not reply to you when a new point arises?

I have said my problems w/how the Rock's being used. I've also said let's blame the writers. It seems when you read my posts you focus only on the parts you can get pissed about. Work on that. If you looked at this more w/a more open mind you'd see that we agree on everything except the degrees. & while I'm not a fan, I'm not this crazed Cena hater you make me out to be. Hell, I've had to defend his stale ass on other forums.

I'm only focusing on what you say because you are focusing on putting the lions share of the blame in one place. Thats not right. Yeah you blamed the writers and such but not enough. They and Vince decide on how Cena is used. How do they not deserve just as much blame if not MORE? I don't care if you hate Cena and how he's used but to LOOK for ways to put him at more fault and not give everyone a fair shake is lame.

Like saying I'm brainwashed to think Cena must win. C'mon. You don't seem to want to admit that if they hadn't jobbed Cena first we wouldn't have to go through with the lame rematch where Cena goes over in boring predictable fashion yet again. Cena did the job so I can see why he might want Rock to return the favor. Any other top star in Cenas position would have balked at that first match outcome.

I'm tired of Cena winning too but its not fair to ask the full time guy who bust his ass all year to do a job to a part timer that doesn't even need it. If Rock is as great as people claim then his image is impervious to a loss. Thats one thing that defines greatness.

I agree 100% w/Bret on HHH/UT. I don't care much about either of them but if a match is really great the viewer doesn't have to be emotionally involved to appreciate it. Two old guys hitting each other in the back w/chairs is not a good match. The old guys being HHH & UT makes no difference.

On the mechanics of it I agree. Really all it was was spots and garbage wrestling and kicking out of each others finishers. As a pure wrestling match it was nothing special. I know I was still entertained by it though. More than Rock vs Cena entertained me.

WWE isn't serious about tag teams again, @least not as much as they should be. They have a joke team as the champs & they punked out PTP to Ryback. Why didn't DY @least try to make the save?

It seems like they are trying to get something going with the tag division but I'm not sure if it will ever be truly great again.

All he does is attack attack attack, condescend and act like he's better than everyone, and that's evidenced by the fact that nearly everyone who gets into a debate with him has the same complaints about him that I do.

But you and he have the same smarky opinions so you give him a free pass.

And you wonder why I've turned to "trolling" and "baiting" as you put it. Having a different opinion from Metallo or yourself is absolutely impossible in this thread, because Metallo is just going to jump on anyone who disagrees with him and you're going to turn a blind eye to it cuz he's your buddy.

I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble. I just find the hypocrisy and pure garbage that gets tossed around in here incredible, and I have to point it out.

That is the way to go.

Sorry for chiming in late on this folks. I have started to notice some of the posts getting a bit more aggressive and nearing the flaming category in here. Please tone it down. It's not necessary and ruins the fun of posting in the thread. It's getting to the point where it's looking like where warnings and infractions are going to have to get sent out.

One of the reasons I love this thread is that we have debates and they don't turn into fires that someone has to put out.

We need to agree to disagree and move on more. And if you don't like someone is saying, flaming and trolling is the wrong way to approach it. And I'm not aiming at anyone specifically, but I'm not missing anyone either.

And for the record...Antonio Cesaro has the best physique in wrestling. That man is huge and ripped to shreds. And his size doesn't diminish his speed and movements.

This post is full of attacks and baiting people. And you think you can do this kind of stuff and come off as innocent or talk of double standards or a free pass? I've gotten infractions like anyone else. But I don't sneak attack people and run.

You even pop in here baiting people when no one has said anything to you. Like TheFuture said if you have a problem take it to the mods. But instead you want to martyr yourself and make a spectacle just to get a sliver of revenge and validation. You've put down the majority of the people in the thread in one fell swoop just because you get mad at what they say. Even I don't do that.

If it makes you feel any better I'll take an infraction now if I did something to you but there is no way in hell you shoud be let off after the way you've come back in here accusing people and baiting others to start a fight that has nothing to do with the discussions.

Too bad his gimmick is crappy. The only time I've enjoyed his promo work was when he ripped on Flair and let's be honest, that ain't difficult.

 

[Metallo]

Yeah and unlike some his muscles aint for show. He's as strong as an ox. He has a good natural looking powerful physique. He looks hard and solidly build but not overly veiny or bloated. Big and broad but not too big and he has great conditioning.

Goldberg was another guy with a good build back in the day. Not overly develped but he looked powerful.

Too bad his gimmick is crappy. The only time I've enjoyed his promo work was when he ripped on Flair and let's be honest, that ain't difficult.

Yeah I love his throwback style of wrestling but not his pre 1990 throwback gimmick of evil foreign guy. Its too cartoonish and dated now. Its no something I can take very seriously. Cesaro should be a badass. Something that fits that remixed Malenko/Licence To Kill theme music of his. If he's got to be the evil foreign heel make him a MODERN evil foreign heel. Soemthing with more menace and edge and less over the top.

 

[NDX]

Iv'e got it in an old John Carpenter four film dvd set. Guess I need to upgrade to the blu ray. Piper vs David was one of best Roddy matches of the 80's. Don't you guys dare tell me that wasn't a wrestling match!

I've been catching up on a ton of sh** I've bought in the last few years. I always say I'll get around to it but it ends up taking 5 years to watch some of it.

I picked up Christine, The Dead Zone, Stephen Kings The Shining tv miniseries, and Rosemary's Baby over halloween and have yet to rewatch them.

Watched Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning last week and I'm still chewing on that one in my mind.

I know how that is. I have a pile of movies that has been sitting there since as long as 2008 unwatched (or when it comes to 50 movie packs partially watched). And the worst part is, I keep adding to the pile due to working near a Good Will and Salvation Army stores.

The last few weekends I've been able to get through some movies (Re-Animator series doesn't count due to them being a friend's), but it's just not enough. I sometimes wonder if I'm ever going to ever fully get through that pile.

I'm the same way. I buy movies for less than $3 sometimes because I always look for good deals like that. I don't know your method but what I usually try to do when I have a night I have nothing else to do I watch two movies back to back. Start with the shorter 90 minute ones that are comedy, action, horror, etc. I find them easier to slip into mood wise. I find that if I try to watch a long movie (2 hours and up) cold sometimes its really hard for me to get into it and it becomes a chore. Even when the movie is great.

Been wanting to rewatch Heat for a loooon time and I always end up putting it off.

And to keep this on topic...How about that Ready to Rumble huh? Huh?
That and No Holds Barred make for a crazy a**ed double feature.

I do want to get around to watching. The Wrestler and Black Swan back to back. Haven't seen Black Swan.

I always figured Vince was so sour on The Wrestler at first was because it represented a dark side of the business (some of it still in WWE) that still exists today despite what promoters say. There are still former stars of his that are real life Randy The Rams. Vince wants to pretend otherwise for the most part though.

You look at someone like Lance Cade and it shows that maybe even the WWE isn't as bright and shiney and clean as he wants to say it is. What happened to Cade wasn't Vince's fault but there are still some horror stories and tragedies like that. Can't say Cade was one of those old 80's guys before changes were made. Can't even say he was a 90's guy. He was a 2000's WWE developmental talent al the way.

Yaaaaay...on topic!

 

[spidey-dude]

I think Miz is a mid-card act at best and certainly not a good fit as a face. Punk has worked so hard this past 18 months I think he deserves a better Mania showcase than carrying a mid-card act personally.

ahhhh didnt realise it was for mania, I meant post mania, and I agree with you about the Miz, but he makes a great heel with Punk as the face - agree he is mid card too, he should be competing for the intercontinental title really but the lower belts appear to be undervalued these days

Yaaaaay...on topic!

The SA/GW dvds usually run anywhere from $1 to $10 depending on how many discs they have. There is also a dollar store a few blocks past them that sells used dvds from Canadian rental stores for $3 each, as well as some knew WB movies. So, yeah, I tend to take advantage when I can. Occasionally I'll spend more on used dvds at a place called Mondo Kim's because they have some rarer stuff (Battlefield Baseball and Man Bites Dog were my last purchases there).

It all depends. Usually during the week I catch up on shows I missed thanks to on demand (I watch too many to begin with, and they tend to always get pushed aside for wrestling in some fashion), so most of my movie watching gets done on the weekend. If there is nothing to watch, I'll try to get two movies in starting at midnight (I tend to stay up to 6 AM anyways). I try to get most of my movie watching done on the weekends, like yesterday with the Re-Animator trilogy, or Aristocrats and Secret of NIMH just now, or last weekend where I killed Kill Bill 1/2, the Nolan Batman trilogy, and some other films.

Most times, length doesn't bother me, but I do have to be in the mood to watch something. I've had Seven Samurai sitting on my shelf for 4 years. Got it for free, but I just haven't found the urge to watch it yet. Not that I haven't seen it, but I just have to get the right moment in mind for a film like that.

I can't stand Ready to Rumble. I tried watching it a few years ago before Night of Champions and I couldn't get past 40 minutes. I loved it when it came out, almost bought it too. But seeing how I can't even sit through it now, just sad. I still need No Holds Barred on dvd. Man, I hope I still like that. I can't find my old tape of it to check. **** it, I'd own that just because ZEUS! (Which is what I yell every time I see Lister in any movie. Every. ****ing. Time.)

The Wrestler is a rough one to watch, as a movie fan and a wrestling fan. You want to think that that was all from yesteryear's wrestling, but we see that those indy shows are a daily thing. It's still rough out there for these guys, and most will never even have a quarter of the name that went with Randy the Ram. Look at Trent Acid, J. C. Bailey, and the like.
