its time for the one piece of WWE programming that doesn't make Metallo pull out his hair

The other shows don't make me pull my hair out...its just some elements of them that I find weak


I'm loving this stretch workout with Trish and Christina :hrt:

The only good that can come of her getting a contract is maybe we'll see her get destroyed just like her sister.


I agree. Heck, if you don't have anything for him in the main event give him a mid card title run. He could have great matches with those guys, but they shoudn't job him out.

Yeah thats why I say this is a problem with all of creative. Even when Punk is in the midcard he's being used poorly. Talking about his run in the main event doesn't address that issue.

Looks like they're finally bringing their first non-winning NXT diva up to the main roster:

WWE officials have plans to promote numerous developmental wrestlers to the main roster in the ensuing weeks. However, the only talent confirmed to be called up to the main roster at this time is NXT Season 3 contestant Maxine. She is scheduled to debut on the SmackDown brand at tomorrow night's television tapings in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Maxine, who's real name is Karlee Leilani Perez, has been in WWE's developmental system since June 2009. She's generally utilized in a speaking/managing capacity in Florida Championship Wrestling, as opposed to wrestling. She currently reigns as the General Manager of FCW, and manages Lucky Cannon.

Months ago, WWE planned to cut ties with a number of main roster performers after Wrestlemania, then calling up developmental talents to fill the undercard of the main rosters, with the idea that they could cut costs by using lower priced talent. There were rumblings late last week that the process would be starting shortly.

Since they're said to be looking to revive managers, this would work, since she never looked all that good in the ring. But it looks as if maybe she might not be the only diva coming up soon:

-- NXT Season 3 contestant AJ is on the road with the SmackDown brand this week. She worked last night's SmackDown live event in Lake Charles, Louisiana, teaming with Natalya in a match against Rosa Mendes and Alicia Fox. Natalya made Mendes submit to the sharpshooter. Furthermore, AJ donned pink and black attire, like Natalya.

The bout marked as Fox's first in-ring appearance since suffering a shoulder injury at the May 3 SmackDown taping.

:whatever: I never SAID he draws because he was on the Real World (he's not much of a draw anyway). To WWE the real world IS mainstream beause its MTV. More mainstream than them anyway. Adn they'll take any mainstream attention they can get.

but I'm not talking about Real World begin the exposure. I'm talking about Miz beign on Real World getting the attention of media outlets that ARE giving him mianstream exposure. Being on NBC is a GOOD thing for WWE. Doesn't hurt that they already have a relashionship with them going back decades but Miz's past on reality tv is one hook tats gettign them to put him of all people on as champion.

The mainstream media exposure I'm talking about is all the talk shows like Jimmy Kimmell and Jimmy Fallon and all the radio shows that Miz did. And a lot of those shows had him on because he was a Real World guy, a reality tv shar (which is a big deal these days) that made it big in WWE. These shows don't always have all WWE stars on. before he won the title Miz wasn't as big as Cena so he didn't have as much exposure as him in WWE. Other first time title holders like Jeff hardy didn't get that much media exposure. Miz got it because he had a past in television.

Real World wasn't the biggest show ever show but people DO remember it for being a pioneer of the reality tv that is commonplace today.

Like Tough Enough.
Right. So you're still attributing the Miz's success due to this mainstream attention that you claim exist, that is still drawing for the WWE.

That entire post was the definition of contradictory.

Vince owes MTV HUGE for much of WWE's early success doesn't he?
So the only reason that the Miz got signed by the WWE, is because Vince feels like he owes MTV for giving him exposure? Because as you've claimed, Vince is the kind of guy that will do the morally right thing. So let me get this straight: You think that Vince sacrificed making money in his own company by signing and utilizing the Miz, and thus worsening the product of the WWE. To thank MTV for some exposure that doesn't even exist outside of your own mind?

How can I take any of your arguments seriously when you believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories like this? Vince might be crazy, but he's not a bad business man.
 
****, figures it would happen to Martin. Might as just hand the win to Luke now. :dry:
 
Anyone surprised that there have not been any releases yet?

It's still going to happen from what I've read. They plan on calling up some talent from FCW. [BLACKOUT]Maxine[/BLACKOUT] to Smackdown tommorow

In many ways as far as talent and presentation Punk is like a modern day Jake Roberts (only on the absolute opposite end of the spectrum as far as drugs go).

That's a good comparison. Punk's easily one of the best in WWE right now. I feel kind of let down his feud with Cena was cut short. Not sure where he'll fit at Wrestlemania 29 now.

I saw that rumor. Good to see that.

I never said he was drawing for the WWE. I said he got on several talk shows. Whether that translates to higher viewership numbers at ticket sales I don't know. THATS what Drawing is. But the mainstream press Miz got is one reason he probably kept the title longer.


That entire post was the definition of contradictory.


Thats because you aren't paying attention to what I'm saying and misinterpreted it.

I'm not understanding your post at all.

No Miz probably got signed just like any other young wrestler gets signed. But his past on television probably didn't hurt. He wasn't signed because Vince felt he OWED MTV. You've twisted up my entire post.

Because as you've claimed, Vince is the kind of guy that will do the morally right thing.
I definitely never claimed that.


So let me get this straight: You think that Vince sacrificed making money in his own company by signing and utilizing the Miz, and thus worsening the product of the WWE. To thank MTV for some exposure that doesn't even exist outside of your own mind?
Dude, what the f*** are you talking about? I never said any of that. You probably have no idea what the Rock'n'Wrestling connection even is. Look it up on wikipedia.

What I meant is Vince appreciated the value of hooking up with a popular mainstream network like MTV in the 80s and the exposure it and the music industry gave WWE. Have you ever heard of the Brawl For It All? The War to Settle the Score? The other events/specials co promoted by the WWF and MTV in the mid 80s. That was important in taking WWE mainstream and Vince has continued to try to do similar things ever since.

Thats why WWE hooked up with NBC in the 80's for SNME and why he's always liked using celebrities and guest shots on tv to promote WWE. Thats the kind of stuff that helped get WWE to the dance in the 80s. Thats why he's used similar things to promote Wrestlmania. Celebrities and the media have always played a big part on promoting Vince Jr's WWF/WWE.

I don't think Miz is a draw (not yet anyway) but Vince knew he already had his wrestling draws in Cena and Rock and Austin. Evne if the Miz wasn't involved Vince knew people would buy WM27 to see what went down between Rock and Cena. But Vince was probably happy that Miz gave him another opportunity to use the talk and radio show circuit to promote Wrestlemania. Where he was a draw or not for the acutal PPV or tv The Miz got out there and promoted the event.


How can I take any of your arguments seriously when you believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories like this? Vince might be crazy, but he's not a bad business man.
I'm not taking anything you're saying seriously because you're not making any sense or you can't understand what I'm saying.

How is it a conspiracy theory to say Vince McMahon likes mainstream press? Thats common sense and he does it all the time. Why do you think Snooki was hired to work Wrestlemania?

What happened to Martin just sucks. Hopefully for him he can still make it somehow. I think now it's down to Jeremiah and Luke.
 
Wait, I don't get it, how was it AJ's fault that Christina was injured? They said they thought she was going to do a cross body, so wouldn't it be her fault that she didn't do that?
 
Damn Luke, he looked like he loved that "2 for 1" special. Kinda make me not want him to win now.

I think it was because he didn't position himself properly to receive the cross body. He was sort of just standing there instead of anticipating it. Like they said a few weeks ago, its teamwork in the ring.

kharma is a *****
 
dude was being honest....it's a competition

when did this thing happen to where you have to personally like someone to acknowledge their talent and their drive??

Very nice video package for The Miz and.....he's wearing pants. Gotta appreciate the little things.

Well, it certainly was dickish of him to admit he felt sorry for Martin when he got hurt, but when it happened to Christina it was like, "The chick got hurt? BYE!"
