Go WWE!

[FVD]

Well Zombie I'm sure there's a chance that Tajiri, Nunzio (so he was Little Guido eh), Spike (even the Dudleys) and Rhyno may wrestle in the PPV. It would be great to see Mike Awesome wrestle too. I wonder if Benoit and Guerrero could wrestle too. How about Al Snow even. If there's too many stars why not have a Battle Royal.

[slinger]

Oh well it's still funny nonetheless.

On another note, I have learned that WWE have just signed former ECW stars Raven and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas to their ECW PPV in June. This is awesome. Apparently Heyman talked Douglas into attending considering his apparent hatred for VKM (Vincent Kennedy McMahon). I've always considered HHH to be a ripoff of The Franchise IMHO. And yet Douglas still has his ECW PPV happening also.

Wow all they need to do now is get Bam Bam Bigelow and Chris Candido, along with Francine and perhaps we could get the Triple Threat happening. Hopefully Douglas will still have Deep Purple's Perfect Strangers as his entrance music.

And how about getting Lance Storm out of retirement so he can reform the Impact Players with Justin Credible (assisted by Dawn Marie hopefully). Credible needs his Kendo stick too. Something he sorely lacked during his time in WWE.

What are the hopes of WWE getting Sabu? And how about Fonzie The Manager of Champions? Him and RVD were inseparable. Hopefully RVD will have recovered in time for the PPV.

And also how about Tazz come out of retirement for a match. After all he is the Human Suplex Machine. If not he can always be a commentator seeing that Joey Styles has no such interest in this event.

FVD.

I read that Storm was returning for the ECW PPV.

[Rogue]

Where are they taking this Lita/Trish/Christy thing?

I can't keep up with what they're doing with Orton. Seems the creative team changes their mind every hour on the hour. I doubt if Orton knows what's going to happen.

Why can't they just make up their freaking mind and follow through with something already?

At the risk of sounding sexist, I'm not even sure what the point of a woman's division was in the first place.

I'm actually surprised they didn't give the belt to Christy considering it was her first match ala Gail Kim.

[onelegasy]

If Benoit wrestles on the ECW PPV, he should be fighting Sabu in a rematch.

well im sure orton will claim his shoulder hurt, and somehow he can end up in a cast for the next 20 years..

[DangerMouse]

Anyone know if he's really hurt or not?

He alluded to his shoulder when talking about the match against Taker, although at the time I thought it was just an excuse.

But then, during the Batista match he smashed the same shoulder into the ring post and seemed to favor it. Granted it was part of the match, but it would make for a good excuse to take time off.

I wonder if he's going on hiatus until the writing staff figures out a good story line for him. Short of him going to Smackdown and having a proper fued with the Undertaker, I'm not sure where his character can go as a heel.

Then again, its probably to counter balance Batista's face turn.

Who knows. :confused:

[ZombieMan]

Actually I heard that he is really hurt. But his dad is one of the Missouri commissioners for the athletic department, I will see if I can talk to him and I will slip in the question.

[FVD]

Speaking of injuries, how is Benoit's left arm holding up? He appeared to have been in excruciating pain during the Ladder match.

[spiderman_2k]

Apparently that was just for show, he did such a good job that alot of stars out back thought it was serious and were worrying about him.

[ZombieMan]

I thought that Benoit was seriously hurt too. The bump that he took looked AWFUL and he played it off well. I'm sure that the bad bump hurt but not as bad as he made it out to be. Good job Benoit, you fooled me! ;)

[DangerMouse]

How big of an "In your face Edge" was THAT match? :omg:

We know Edge gets a title shot sometime in the future, and then a one-armed Benoit beats him on RAW.

I wonder if he's having to "pay" for the whole Matt Hardy/Lita incident first by losing some matches that would normally be embarrassing to lose?

At least we know Batista will be champ for a while as it wouldn't make sense for HHH (heel) to wrestle Edge (heel) for the title.

I just wonder how long Batisa will remain a face. In all honesty, he makes for a GREAT heel.

[carnage4u]

smackdown note.. while in progress

when the new divas come out.. If they have to announce themselves.. they are divas,, they are whores..


but i still like joy... she brings me joy

I just wonder how long Batisa will remain a face. In all honesty, he makes for a GREAT heel.

What would be funny is if in the Draft Lottery he gets sent to Smackdown! and his title shot is only valid for the World Heavyweight Championship (no Royal Rumble loophole) so he's forced to use it that night against Batista on RAW, and lose.

They're probably going to have a Edge/Benoit match at Backlash so it makes sense for 1 armed Benoit to win, they haven't had a PPV match since they're on again off again feud started. But Benoit once again showed why he's one of the best if not best.

Eddie and Benoit both vets, great wrestlers, champions last year at WM20 and they have Batista, Cena and JBL in the championship matches this year while Eddie and Benoit both lose matches that you wouldn't even qualify as big WM main events. Something is not right.

Orton is said to be gone for 4-6 months, most likely 6 months. If Orton is out for that long I guess it makes sense for Batista to be the 'wrestler to injure him'. Hopefully they bring back the RNN clips and have them air once or twice a month on both shows.

[FVD]

Yeah those RNN clips were pretty cool.

[IamMrDJ]

Well looks like Rhyno might not be at the ECW PPV after all.


WWE Releases Rhyno
Filed under: News- Rajah @ 9:49 pm EDT
- According to pwinsider.com, WWE has released Rhyno due to the post-Wrestlemania incidents a Universal Sheraton in California. He has already been removed from all WWE shows and his status for the ECW PPV in June is uncertain.

Source: pwinsider.com


After WrestleMania Rhyno was at the after party with his wife adn got into an argument with her. Her threw a large flower potand shattered it in the foyer of the hotel. The event was witnessed by a number of people including WWE fans. Rhyno was then escorted to his room by WWE Staff.

Looks like Rhyno bit off more then he could chew and will be paying for it.

Also to put it to rest Randy Orton is truely injured and will be out 4-6 months after surgery on his shoulder. Those in the WWE think this came at the right time because his character is lost right now with no direction to go. I hope when he is about to return they bring back his Randy Orton updates with his health percentage at the time.

[jbailey84]

that sucks to see Rhyno go :(

whens the Raw Smackdown draft?

[IamMrDJ]

We might see it in two weeks when Raw is at MAdison Square Garden. The show is being broadcasted as a Raw/Smackdown Presentation. We might hear an announcement this monday night.

[FVD]

Damn it's funny how after a wrestler makes one mistake, they get released just like that. Rhyno, Farooq and Scott Hall for example. It's definitely a shame to see Rhyno go. Let's just hope he does appear at the ECW PPV.

Well Rhyno has not been on the WWE's good side lately for a number of reasons. WWE took this as a last straw because Rhyno does have a temper and he let it boil over after the biggest PPV of the year in front of a number of WWE fans.

Ron Simmons now works again for the WWE after his argument last year.

Scott Hall was given a number of chances in the WWE and each time he wasted them. It was not just a one time thing.

There have been other wrestlers released after one incident but that has to do with drugs. Jerry Lawler's son Brian Christopher was released after being caught at an airport with illegal substances in his bag.

[FVD]

Whoa Simmons is back. Awesome. But I suppose he's retired from the ring though. It would be nice to see him get some sort of revenge against JBL.

[ZombieMan]

Rhyno hasn't officially been released from the WWE yet. But it looks like it could end up that way soon. In other news, Bill Moody (Paul Bearer) has been officially released though after not being on WWE television for quite sometime. Sad to see Bill go, he's a relative of mine by marriage, I just found out a few years back, lol. What a coincidence, but its pretty neato!

[Se7en the movie]

I would just like to say that I am very disappointed seeing Rhyno released (or potentially released) by WWE. He is one of my all-time favourite wrestlers, particularly from his run in ECW but I his matches in WWE have been very good also. See in particular his hardcore match against Raven at Backlash 2001 (Not sure about the year). From ECW? Well his corker against RVD for the TV title from Anarchy Rulez 2000 is a good place to start. He was vicious in ECW and I loved him for it.

[ZombieMan]

Yeah, Rhyno was pretty damn vicious in ECW, I agree. The WWE hasn't given him much of a chance, and thats quite sad. Maybe when he is released TNA might pick him up for their heavyweight division. I think a match between Rhyno and Monty Brown would be real cool, or seeing Rhyno team up with Abyss.

[FVD]

Yeah Rhyno was underutilised like most of the WWE locker room. It's very sad. WWE = mainstream wrestling. Well I know we all know that :rolleyes:

[chewie]

Matt Hardy just got released today.

[ZombieMan]

The following was posted on WWE.com:

Matt Hardy, Rhyno released

Matt Hardy and Rhyno have been released. World Wrestling Entertainment wishes them the best in their future endeavors.

The early word is that Matt Hardy's release from WWE was due to his handling of the situation with Edge and Lita. WWE was especially upset with the fact that he disclosed all the details about the situation on his public website.

It is not known if any further backstage incidents played into the decision, although WWE's recent releases of Rhyno and Hardy indicate the company is taking conduct in the public eye very seriously.

Courtesy of www.lordsofpain.net

I didn't see Matt Hardy's release coming, nor' did I know that he posted the situation on his personal website. I smelled Rhyno's release/firing coming though. I can't blame Rhyno for flipping out on his wife because she didn't bring his little girl to WM21 with her and told him that he wouldn't get to see her again after they seperated and she was moving to Germany. I would have flipped out too. Damn women, Lita and Rhyno's wives are both pretty low.

[ZombieMan]

If you could put together a WWE supercard with ONLY current WWE superstars, then who would they be? What kind of match would it be? Put alot of thought into this, I just think that it would be interesting to find out what you all think. I will put mine but there probably won't be alot of gimmick matches because I'm not really into those much. Some of these might be matches that have already happend even and I have just forgotten, lol. Later we will do a dream supercard of all feds put together and even put deceased wrestlers on there. This doesn't have to be in order either, its just what matches you would like to see.

Val Venis vs. Shelton Benjamin

Ladder Match: Chris Jericho vs. Paul London

RVD vs. "HBK" Shawn Michaels

Triple Threat First Blood Match: John Cena vs. Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton

Eugene vs. JBL

Casket Match: The Undertaker vs. Muhammad Hassan

Eddie Guerrero vs. William Regal

Ric Flair vs. Hardcore Holly

Triple Threat Match: Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri vs. Spike Dudley

Maven vs. Booker T

Cage Match: Kurt Angle vs. Batista

Triple H vs. Heidenreich

[FVD]

Damn that's a shame with Matt Hardy leaving. Well I'm sure he'll be back. They all do.

Hmm dream matches let's see.

Triple Threat: Chris Benoit vs Lance Storm vs Jerry Lynn
Batista vs Brock Lesnar
Iron Sheik vs Muhammed Hassan (let the Sheik put that ***** in his place)
Andre The Giant vs Big Show (battle of the giants)
Kurt Angle vs Ken Shamrock (see who the true master of the Ankle Lock really is. Shamrock all the way)
Heidenreich vs Sid Vicious (Heidenreich don't stand a chance ;) )

[ZombieMan]

FVD not bad picks at all, I like those matchups but as TyRoss said, this one was for current superstars, lol. I was going to do current vs. old wrestlers later on.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

two more superstars have been released
Jesus and some other guy (http://www.wrestling-edge.com/newsarticle.php?page=115276452)

[FVD]

I believe he said current superstars ;)

Oops sorry I should have mentioned dream matchups. Oh well. :)

[ZombieMan]

About Jesus and Chilly Willy. Its sad to see Chilly Willy go so quickly, I don't even think he got to debut. He was always a good indy wrestler, I met him once a long time ago. He also served in Operation Iraqi Freedom for awhile and actually got shot.

[slinger]

Well if Vince phoned me up and he wanted something for his MSG RAW/Smackdown Super Show this is what I would suggest. So those with injuries (Chavo, Orton etc) aren't included.

* Hogan vs Austin
* Cena vs HHH /Cage Match (Flair barred from ringside)
* HBK vs Angle /Iron Man Match
* Jericho vs Eddie
* Benoit vs Mysterio
* Batista vs The Undertaker /No DQ
* Spike vs Paul London vs Billy Kidman /Triple Threat

*20 Man Battle Royal/Final Two Lumberjack Match
with eliminated 18 as lumberjacks
01-10:RAW
Christian, Shelton, Edge, Ric Flair, The Hurricane,
Regal, Tajiri, Kane, Hassan, Sylvain Grenier

11-20:SD!
Booker T, The Big Show, Orlando Jordan, JBL, Carlito,
Danny Basham, Doug Basham, Luther Reigns, Mark Jindrak, Funaki

* Naked Divas Hot Oil Match?

[FVD]

Great idea with the Battle Royal Slinger. May I suggest a couple modifications to the Superstars :D

I'd throw out the Bashams and replace them with Carlito and RVD (if he's due back in time) for Smackdown and Sylvain Grenier and Ric Flair ousted in favour of Eugene (or Rosey or William Regal) and Chris Masters for Raw.

I think RVD is later in the year since he won't be apart of the ECW PPV. Yeah I saw Carlito and just forgot to put him on, twice even.

[onelegasy]

Matt Hardy released or quit?

[vader519]

Matt Hardy was released this week.

[carnage4u]

it was sort of sad. with the last part just being a batista interview i just went to bed... i mean really not excited for it, and the christian match was very good

[ZombieMan]

Triple H vs. Jim Ross next week on Raw? Ok, thats just retarded. However, it was pretty funny when The Hurricane and Rosey came out and beat on Trips. I wasn't too surprised when Shawn Michaels asked Hulk Hogan to come back for 1 match at Backlash against Hassan and Davari. I was actually looking for something like that to happen soon.

[filmstudent04]

Wow, Molly Holly was released now too, what is goin on in the wwe?.. check out the story on prowrestling.com

[ZombieMan]

Molly Holly and World Wrestling Entertainment have mutually agreed on her release. WWE wishes her the best in her future endeavors.

Info, courtesy of www.lordsofpain.net

I am SUPER pissed. Molly was my all-time favorite WWE diva and she is a great wrestler. Probably the best female wrestler, and I have a feeling that I know why she got released. Last night on Raw she did a great job wrestling but when Christy accidentally hit Molly, I noticed that Molly started shooting on her, meaning that she actually knocked the **** out of her several times intentionally. But hey, thats part of the game. You have a new rookie wrestler that accidentally hits people, then people are going to hit them back, fair game. That COULD be why she got her release, but then again, WWE is cutting several wrestlers anyhow. I'm still so pissed though! AHHH!

[carnage4u]

that match was very sloppy last night... its painfuly to watch christy do antying other then stand there or bend over.


altough im not a molly fan either, ok wrestler, but she donest really put the diva in diva...
now Trish is the way to go.

[DangerMouse]

Was the Batista/HHH "altercation" at the end of RAW supposed to end like that?

It seemed pretty sloppy and RAW ended about 5 minutes earlier than it normally does.

[FVD]

Damn that's sad of Molly leaving. TNA oughta pick some of these guys up. I wanna see some TNA on TV actually. We only get the live PPV's at the moment.

[Se7en the movie]

Not long till Smackdown visits Ireland. Amazingly it sold out in 8 minutes (as far as I know). Here is the card according to wwe.com at the moment for the show I'm attending (They booked another show for the night before since the first sold out so quickly):

FEATURE TAG TEAM MATCH
Big Show & John Cena vs. Orlando Jordan & JBL

SUBMISSION MATCH
Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle

WWE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio vs. The Bashams

Booker T vs. Heidenreich

Mark Jindrak vs. Luther Reigns

Hardcore Holly vs. Carlito

OVER-THE-TOP CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE ROYAL
Funaki, Billy Kidman, Spike Dudley, Paul London, Shannon Moore, Nunzio, Akio, Scotty, Chavo

Torrie Wilson vs. Dawn Marie

Charlie Haas vs. Rene Dupree

Also scheduled to appear: Theodore Long

Could be quite interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

[ZombieMan]

I just read some additional information on Molly Holly's release. She apparently cut herself off from the WWE and asked for a release because she doesn't like her current role. She hasn't been used properly for a long time. She has been wanting to turn face as reported and WWE doesn't feel that the face role would work for her. I'm sorry but if I was a writer for WWE then I would figure out a way to turn her into a face, they have done it with every other wrestler. I feel that the reason that she was pushed out of the spotlight is because like carnage said, she doesn't really put the diva into diva. But thats what I like about Molly, she doesn't care to flaunt her stuff, she is a pure wrestler and thats what she wants to do, and she's very good at it. She use to be quite beautiful though back when her hair was longer and all, she had the stuff to show if she chose, but never did. Thats fine with me, but this all just sucks!!!

[onelegasy]

This sucks.

We lose Molly, and get another Diva Search.

I HATE women wrestling as it is, but at least Molly did something in the ring.

Stuff like this is the reason why I haven't watched WWE in 2 months.

[ZombieMan]

onelegasy, I'm not one for women's wrestling either really. I'm glad that you realize too that Molly actually did something in the ring, lol. Trish has improved alot, I can say that but it gets old seeing her wrestle all the time and hold the title constantly. At least if they are going to have women wrestling, they need to get women who can actually WRESTLE! But most guys only want to see women wrestle to see T&A, which is what ruined it for us true wrestling fans. Sure, some of those chicks are hot on there and thats cool, but it is a waste of time, they need to just stick with modeling or whatever else they might do. This Raw Diva Search 2 is going to suck big time.

[FVD]

Yeah some of the talented female wrestlers always seem to get released. eg. Gail Kim.

As long as Victoria remains for a while I won't be complaining.

[onelegasy]

My bigger gripe is that we lose air time when HHH does a 30 min promo, DIVA crap for 20-30 min, commercials 30-35min. After that, we are left with a very small window for actual wrestling.

Wrestlers that deserve the push are wrestling dark matches or on Velocity/Heat.

Big guys with little to-no talent get air time to stumble around the ring and squash wrestlers who actually have talent.

Talented, but smaller wrestlers are forced into stupid gimmicks and angles that have a very limited appeal time.

Old school wrestlers do a program with HHH and then get removed from the spotlight.

Wrestling promos by male wrestlers are presented by a large pissed off wrestler who thinks that yelling and spitting into the microphone is what fans want to see.

Wrestling promos by female wrestlers are presented by a scantily clad female who shows off her T&A to the delight of boys 13-24 who are too young to remember when wrestling was good.

Vince thinks that new blood in WWE is: crappy women that look good but cant wrestle, and large wrestlers who are angry/slightly crazy and can't wrestle.

WCW is it's best years used all the wrestlers, no matter what size. Where were the women? They were Valets ONLY, and you know what? IT WORKED.

WWE is going to continue to lose viewers until McMahon pulls his head out of his ass and looks at the real world.

[DangerMouse]

Actually, now that you mention it, the women in WCW were all just Valet's weren't they.

Torrie was brought in by the NWO and didn't wrestle.

And Stacy Keibler just did that whole "walking to the rings with a clip board taking notes" thing.

Now it looks like the WWE is starting to do the same thing that took WCW off the air.

The reason why the WWF/E won was because of up and coming talent and really good storylines.

I highly agree with all of that. Most of the talented wrestlers are pushed off onto Heat or Velocity. I wish that we could see Val Venis come back into a big role and go for the Intercontinental title.

Wrestling promos by female wrestlers are presented by a scantily clad female who shows off her T&A to the delight of boys 13-24 who are too young to remember when wrestling was good.

That right there, I disagree with. I'm 21 years old, and I don't remember wrestling being too bad until around 2000. However, I have seen plenty of tapes of old school wrestling when I went to Harley's academy to train. I saw matches with Harley Race, Ric Flair, The Villano's, Missouri Mauler, and all kinds of neat stuff. But, I do think that wrestling had its perks up until about the year of 2000.

[insaneMoViEgoer]

thers a petition to bring back Matt Hardy. i doubt this will work but heres the link http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?viazon16&1

[carnage4u]

online petitions make my ears bleed.
now my ears are bleeding... time to see the doctor.

[onelegasy]

Online petitions like those ones don't work.

[filmstudent04]

HHH supposedly hurt on raw...maybe he'll take some time off-doubtful though.

[DangerMouse]

I thought that last segment of RAW seemed a little short. HHH getting injured would explain it.

[ZombieMan]

Yeah you could tell that the leg drop that Rosey delivered to Triple H was pretty brutal and it looked like it was very stiff. I bet Rosey gets some huge warnings after that one. Rosey and his brother are both very rough wrestlers and have a reputation for it already, thats one reason that his brother got his release from WWE awhile back.

[filmstudent04]

hey what's up with HBK wearing like chaps or something in his matches instead of his old ringwear... they look like leather pants with the added zipper part that he usually takes off before the match...just wondering...maybe its cuz of his born again christian stage?

[onelegasy]

HHH hurt?

Maybe next week he'll appear angry on Raw.

That would be a stretch.

Smackdown was interesting with thoses new tag partners that attack rey. Kurt angle won because of rey. Man there going to a battle between thoses two. After they lose their titles to thoses new tag team guys. Cena rocked the house by giving JBL a package full of guts...yuck, torrie wins over dawn marie, booker t and big show take out bashams brothers and orlando jordan, and heidenri (can't spell his name) beat some radom guy and claim the that was his friend and then read a poem to him, and other than that that what happen on smackdown! PS- What you think of cena wwe belt?

[ChaCho]

Cena's WWE belt is pimpin, way better than what he did with he US Title
He went far on this one
that Eddie and Rey **** is so stupid, theres no meaning to it.

Trish Stratus is in Mortal Kombat Domination????? I suppose she's Sonya. Not a bad choice. And still gorgeous. My favourite Diva by far if not Torrie or Stacy.

As for Goldberg, Austin and Nash. I thought Goldberg and Nash were friends. Goldberg and Scott Hall on the other hand, now they don't get along. As for Bill and Austin, I would have thought they get along seeing as they were at a Lakers game sometime after they both left WWE.

[ChaCho]

The Eddie with Rey deal is they are Tag Champions, they were doing good, but Chavo messed with Eddie's mind, made him think Rey just wanted to get all the glory and hold Eddie down, now Eddie is doing that and is jealous of Rey and now is messing him up in matches so he cant grow a better role, and Rey has been a good friend and is trying to help him in every match, but something always goes wrong making Eddie even more mad at him and screwing him more.

[ZombieMan]

I agree with whoever said earlier that the Rey/Eddie angle is retarded pretty much. I'm getting tired of it, and well, I have been tired of it since day 1.

[LS2002]

Anybody have an X-box and are thinking about picking up WM 21 on Tuesday?

[BWSword]

I think that eddie and ray will lose their title next time they defend it and then after eddie and ray will attack each other

[FVD]

Yeah I just wish they hurry up and end this pointless feud. Put Eddie back into the WWE title hunt. He was so over with the audience it's not funny. I can hear the Eddie chants from here ;)

[onelegasy]

I'll have to watch Raw tonight so I can see what I have been missing.


I hope HHH will be on, and maybe he will be angry.

[ZombieMan]

I have heard rumors of Hogan possibly appearing on Raw tonight to except HBK's proposal to another match. More than likely its a good assumption anyhow.

[Rogue]

Hm. Hogan's got a nice potbelly on him now, doesn't he?

[Rogue]

Raw was interesting tonight -- Batista won me over big time with his last minute save of JR. I love JR and I'm so glad that Trips "got his" in one way or another. Damn, that was a hell of an ovation for Hogan and HBK. I think it'll be a good match for Hogan and HBK -- if Hogan can still wrestle with that belly. Damn, you can tell he's gettin' old. :eek: Edge and Benoit was so-so. I was really hoping Kane was going to tear into Trish and that they'd finally do something with this abysmal Lita/Kane/Trish thing but I guess I was wrong.

What the hell?! VISCERA? Are they going to feud Kane and Viscera now? Or (oh god I'm hoping) with the draft lottery coming up...could it be Taker is coming to Raw? *squee* That'd make my day.

Ah well. I loved Vinnie Mac's interruption of Christian. :funny: I love how he just talks down to basically everyone in his line of sight.

6.5 for Raw -- middle of the road setup show.

[ZombieMan]

LOL, yeah Hogan definitely has a potbelly. What did everyone think of the new tag team? The Throbbing Hearts or whatever they were called. I didn't think that they were anything grand, but they could get alot better in time, afterall it was their first "big" show. The whole J.R. beatdown thing was pretty crazy, it was weird to watch him bleed.

[ZombieMan]

Also, I have a few more things to add as well. It was pretty wild when the fans were chanting rude things at Lita about the whole Matt Hardy thing, I thought she was going to cry because she kept trying to smile and keep her cool. I agree with you Rogue, it would make my day as well if The Undertaker got drafted to Raw. I think that Kane and The Undertaker should switch brands really, and god forbid that we see a Viscera vs. Kane feud. That would be horrible because Viscera is so boring in the ring and he looks dumb, lol. Vince's appearance was shocking to me, I didn't expect it just yet, but way cool overall!

[chewie]

This RAW was pretty good. One of the best in a while.

Did you see Trish's expression after Viscera laid one on her?? I spit my tea all over the place. :funny:

[carnage4u]

Seeing kane get beat down by someone as pathetic s viscera did indeed make me very annoyed.

the viscera trish thing did amuse me a bit, but not at the expense of kane.. hes been turned into a complete ass clown now.


christian/vince thing was indeed great and the new tag team was well... colorful.

the only thing with batista/triplle HHH is its soo cookie cutter its make me so bored watching it.

[ZombieMan]

Did you see Trish's expression after Viscera laid one on her?? I spit my tea all over the place. :funny:

:funny: Yeah I laughed when he planted one on her, but did you see when he picked her up at ringside? He grabbed her tit and her face dropped and she "shooed" his hand away, I laughed my ass off when I saw that especially! He had a funny look on his face after she whispered something to him and then he started "trying" to smile again. I figure that she got onto him. :funny:

[chewie]

the only thing with batista/triplle HHH is its soo cookie cutter its make me so bored watching it.


It wouldn't be a Monday Night Raw if you couldn't predict what was going to happen in the main event. ;)

[ZombieMan]

Marty Jannetty is now set to begin with WWE in May. No word was available on plans for his on-air return.

Info courtesy of www.lordsofpain.net

Well, its about time that they got him back onto WWE television. I enjoyed watching him wrestle those few matches before WM21. I just hope that the WWE keeps him as babyface status for awhile. I'm really excited to see what Jannetty has in store for us!!!

[FVD]

Awesome. I look forward to seeing him back on out TV screens.

[onelegasy]

What a waste Tough Enough was.

The winners of the contracts, where are they now??

Only Maven is on air, and no one likes him, not even his mother.

Jackie G? C'mon

Where are the other "winners"

Could you imagine if Raw Diva search had their own separate show?

[ZombieMan]

Only Maven is on air, and no one likes him, not even his mother.


I beg your pardon, I happen to like Maven. He's very improved, they just rarely use him because he's not very charismatic.

[onelegasy]

I was joking with the Maven thing. I too liked him so relax.

They have to do a Jannetty/HBK vs Christian/Edge feud.

[ZombieMan]

Hahaha, ok, I wasn't sure since you didn't put a smilie. :D

[carnage4u]

maven can be funny once in a while. I Love when he lost twice at the PPV.. that was one of the funniest moments


raw diva search 2 will be a large reason, why i may not wactch wrestling during the summer. It honestly bugged the hell out of me last year and got me very annoyed every week. to actually sit thru it again seems stupid and a waste of my time.

[onelegasy]

The thing that gets me is that the skits take so long to set up, are executed poorly, horrific skits involving the stupidest of stupid activities, and take away for WRESTLERS who NEED the air time.

[chewie]

The thing that gets me is that the skits take so long to set up, are executed poorly, horrific skits involving the stupidest of stupid activities, and take away for WRESTLERS who NEED the air time.

Which is probably why most of the wrestlers groaned at the announcement to bring it back this year. Well that and the winner will be making more money than wrestlers who have been in the business for a long time.

Those skits last year were pitiful. The only one I enjoyed was with The Rock.

[onelegasy]

Ya, I imagine the salary must be a huge slap in the face to all the wrestlers under HHH, and the fact that they are placed so high on TV priority.

Can you imagine training for years, wrestling small shows, making it finally to WWE for 40k a year and some bimbo shakes her ass for a couple months and gets a 6 figures contract and guaranteed air time.

I'd be pissed.

[onelegasy]

I wished they would have pushed his defeat of the Undertaker a little better.

They should have had him fluke another victory before his squashing.

Once again, WWE dropped the ball on another chance to be entertaining.

[ChaCho]

Shawn Michaels and Hogan WOW
THAT WAS AWSOME! JUST AWSOME!
I loved Hogan being back, at Backlash they really gonna kill!


I LOVE BATISTA
man he came i was HYPED, it was awsome he just came in and helped JR.
Really glad he was there!

[FVD]

This sounds like a great RAW. Well I'll be seeing it tonight. I'm so glad the WWE programming is completely up to date here in the Land of the Long White Cloud. It's made viewing far more exciting.

Matt Hardy Interview on Between the Ropes
By Michaelangelo McCullar, wrestling.insidepulse.com

What did Matt have to say to all his MFers?

Matt Hardy appeared tonight on Between the Ropes. Among the topics covered:

-- Matt discussed his release. He said that Johnny Ace called him and told him he was released but gave him no explanation aside from the typical "we have nothing for you and will be looking at new guys," although he knew exactly why he'd been cut.

-- He talked about the fan reaction during Lita's segment at MSG Monday, thanking the fans for all the support.

-- He said that, since his release, he's had to triple the bandwidth at his site due to all the hits, and they still can't keep up.

-- He said that he'd filmed some vignettes for his return. These were filmed by Matt, along with help from Jeff and Amy (Lita). He would have come back as a vigilante, Punisher-style character, driven over the edge by losing everything to Kane and sticking up for the little guy. His tagline would have been, "The Scar Is a Symbol", referencing the scar on his knee.

-- He said that Edge had been one of his best friends, and that when Edge was out with his neck injury, he was one of only four or five guys who kept in contact with him.

-- He said that Edge is the superstar who dumped a bloody mary on Amy Weber, as cited by Amy in this interview.

-- He talked about coming over to RAW, and how his first night there Lita caught heat backstage for screwing up some lines during their promo. She smarted off to those who were criticizing her, one of who was Vince. The backlash she caught bounced back on him, and he was immediately depushed.

-- He said nothing is going on between him and Lisa Copeland, Edge's wife, and dodged questions about who's hotter, Lisa or Amy.

-- He said that his 90 days expires July 10, and he's already been getting calls from TNA, ROH, and Japan. He would love to go to TNA, but isn't really interested in reforming The Hardy Boyz, as he wants to focus on his singles career, although he admitted a limited Hardy Boyz run would be a huge draw.

-- He said he felt it was hypocritical of Vince to give one of the other wrestlers, who was married and cheating on his wife with one of the Divas, a free pass, but to cut him when he was the aggrieved party.

-- He said that he never planned to publically comment on the Edge/Lita situation, but it hit the Net and a lot of false things were floating around, so he spoke up to set the record straight. He admits that he "may not have handled it in the best way," but neither did WWE by releasing him.

-- He claims he would have been able to co-exist with Lita and Edge if he came back to Raw. He still socializes with Lita casually, but with regards to Edge, he would simply ignore him and go about his business.

-- He credits Paul Heyman with helping push the Matt Hardy V.1 character, and that it got over with some catch phrases and hand signals despite some in creative not believing it would. He also said that there were some things that he would have done differently with his character, such as turning babyface but keeping the same wise-ass/cocky attitude after he lost the CW Title to Rey. He enjoyed being on Smackdown, and thought that, when this incident occurred, he would be sent back to Smackdown, not cut.

-- He said if Vince called him tomorrow and asked him to come back, he would probably say yes, and that overall his seven+ years there were positive and Vince did a lot for him. He is just unhappy about how it all ended.

That really sucks for Matt.
Has it a little rough now

[BWSword]

I figure this would happen...rey and eddie lose their wwe tag-titles and they then push each other around, and also watching kurt and jbl team up and take on booker t and big show and then watchng kurt angle walk out

[onelegasy]

*****VERY LONG READ*****

Taken from http://www.wrestlezone.com/article....cleid=115923605

From TheMattHardy.com Message Board

WARNING!!! THIS IS A LOT LONGER THAN I INTENDED IT TO BE!!!
Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.

"They" meaning all of us. The human race. We all sin, we all error. We all do things that need to be forgiven. As a Christian I have been struggling with this "situation" for months. As a human being (living in the flesh) I have wanted to retaliate and come forward and speak my mind a lot sooner.

I married a man, Adam Copeland, six months ago with the thoughts of "til death do us part." Obviously in our state of society that rarely exists anymore. The divorce rate is at 55% and no one bats an eyelash. When this story first broke I read so many things saying "People cheat, that's what they do" "Athletes, cheat that's what they do!" That my friends is a cop out. It is a way for all of us to look at ourselves and affirm our own actions in life. Whatever our own weaknesses are, we love to hear of others "failing". The old "I told you so"................. Throughout my adult life I have dated atheletes or somewhat "high profile" people, not because that was/is important but because those were/are the type of people I meet. I was modeling when I met my last boyfriend who is a pro baseball player and my best friend is married to a WWE wrestler. Big deal. I have been tagged as a gold digger, it's not that. It's the circle of people you are surrounded by. If not at the clubs, how does anyone meet their significant others? Through work, friends etc. What's the point to all of this???? Not much, just giving you all a little insight to who I am.

These last few months have been some of the most painful months I have ever experienced as a human being. I know we are all capable of hurting each other. Capable of things we never "intended" to do. Intended--- Amy and Matt where at our wedding. Amy was not welcomed there in my eyes because she was always a ***** to me and until now did not know why. But my thought was..."how do we invite Matt and Jeff and not Amy?" I will be the bigger person here and not stoop down to her level. I thought maybe as a woman she was "testing" me out after Alanah... wondering who this girl was in her friends life so soon. Does she want him for the right reasons, etc. I gave her that... little did I know this was all lurking around the corner. Adam and Amy... Amy and Adam... oh they feel in love... poor Matt, poor Lisa. I call bull****. Adam and I never disrespected Alanah. I didn't want to have anything to do with Adam until his divorce was under way and I felt we were being honest and not hurting anyone. I always thought Adam was the Victim in that relationship, but now being on the other side of the fence..... not so sure anymore.

Did Adam and Amy make a mistake? Sure! Did Adam and Lisa move too fast into another marriage? Maybe we did.... Did Amy and Matt have problems? Not to my knowledge........... there are so many theory's, so many should haves, could haves, would haves......... but the real story is this--As a human being........ and I stress Human, how does one continue to do this?

Where their actions unforgivable? NO, but it's how they have both handled it after the fact. Adam blaming Matt for not being a stand up boyfriend and in turn having his girlfriend confide in him.... justifying how he could not only betray his wife but one of his best friends..... come on people you read his book.... him and Matt were best friends. When he had his neck surgery there were 5 people from the WWE that called Adam weekly to check on him--Matt being on of them. Matt was there so many times for Amy when she hurt herself. Whether it was the neck, the knee, or anything, he was there for her. How could Matt post his personal life on the net.... How immmature, right? Give me a break people.... If Matt wrote this all in his book............ No big deal! But because the WWE didn't make one red cent from this his personal life is "off limits". What was Unscripted all about. WWE's stars personal lives. As long as Vince can make a buck...who cares what the fans know. But instead Matt got fired b/c all the WWE is interested in now is Bimbos, another Diva search please. Personally I always liked Amy as a wrestler. As a person I always thought she was kinda a ***** and kinda looked like a man but I just chalked that up to all of the steriods she did... but hey maybe she's like Adam and only tried them once (Off the Record) and still doing them! Oh OK!

Whatever.

Amy and Adam have had many many opportunities to tell Matt and I both the truth. A chance to say hey... Sorry I hurt you but I fell in love with someone else. But they have both repeatedly continued to lie, lie, lie, lie! Why do they have backstage heat when suppposedly everyone else is cheating on their spouses? Because Adam is a coward and started naming names trying to bring others down with him. Amy was never respected by any of the girls b/c she treated them all as T-N-A and now that she needs them she is trying to gain sympathy. Well too bad, that is not how the world works. As women we don't trust each other as it is.......... as a woman disrespected by another ---f*** you *****! I had heard somewhere that she tried to call me to apologize but that was a lie... I have tried to call her numerous times with no luck unless I call her from Adams cell, only then does she answer. They are both cowards they are both liars and they both need major psychological help. Maybe one day they will get it.... maybe not. I know Matt and I will prevail. God doesn't bless those who have evil in their hearts. I am trying to forgive

Adam and Amy but it will take a while. Edge and Lita may be one thing, but take away Adam's steriods and what would he be? Another 6'4" skinny guy and take away Amy's oppenents like Gail Kim, Molly Holly, Victoria--Girls that know how to wrestle and guess what? That nasty ***** will bust her knee cap every other 7 months. Good riddance to them both. They deserve each other. Just remember what goes around comes around. I may not have handled this in the best way possible, but I never expected this to be my life right now so please forgive me........... God bless Matt and all the future has to offer him. And God bless Adam and Amy b/c they will need it when Karma comes knocking on their doors!

[ZombieMan]

What did everyone think of the new guy on Smackdown? I think his name was Matt Morgan. I thought that his character was quite funny personally.

[onelegasy]

Isn't Matt Morgan a former Tough Enough contestant?

[filmstudent04]

ya he was, and he was a former member of brock lesnars team like a year or so back. the team consisted of brock, matt, umm nathan jones, and i believe one other guy.

[ChaCho]

I hated his personality, he was in Smackdown! before, during Survivor Series two years ago, Then he was awsome! dominant and powerful, now his this big man with nerve issues, that really sucks.

[ZombieMan]

They are doing weird things with the big guys lately. You have Kane that is kind of "retarded" or whatever they portray him as now. Then you've got Snitsky who is insane and all. Heidenreich is insane as well and now you've got this Matt Morgan guy. REAL weird!

[onelegasy]

Nerve Issues?

Explain

[carnage4u]

christian is great... need more of him and his antics

[FVD]

What did everyone think of the new guy on Smackdown? I think his name was Matt Morgan. I thought that his character was quite funny personally.

He was on Smackdown a while back with Nathan Jones. After Jones left we never saw Morgan for a while. I was wondering what happened to him actually. I still wish they held onto O'Haire. He had a pretty cool gimmick too. I loved his promos at that time.

[ZombieMan]

I agree FVD, they should have held onto Sean O'Haire, he was a much better wrestler than Mark Jindrak in my personal opinion. I don't know what WWE was thinking when they released O'Haire. His character wasn't all that bad, but if they didn't like it then its thanks to their crappy creative team at the time.

[RedVader 2004]

I really hope Batista buries HHH good at Baclash. Also they need to get Austin back to take over things. Beshoff needs Batista bombed even harder then HHH.

I'd like to see a Batista v/s Goldberg match. Maybe Goldberg will be back after he is done promoting the Longest Yard with Austin and Kevin Nash.

[onelegasy]

My question to you is: Tough Enough worth it in regards to

1. Air Time
2. Money
3. Interest

Let's look at it's history

Tough Enough
Maven Huffman and Nidia Guenard won the first series of Tough Enough. Maven is still employed with the company on the RAW brand but Nidia was released in 2004.

Tough Enough II
The second series winners were Linda Miles and Jackie Gayda. Linda was released in 2004 and Jackie is still working with the company on the Smackdown brand as Miss Jackie.

Tough Enough III
The third series was won by John Hennigan and Matt Cappotelli.

$1,000,000 Tough Enough
The fourth Tough Enough competition was conducted as part of WWE's SmackDown! show between October and December 2004. The prize was a $1,000,000 professional wrestling contract. The winner of the fourth series was Daniel Puder.

Maven is rarely used

Miss Jackie is rarely used

Tough Enough 3 "winners" are forgotten

Puder is rarely used (almost forgotten)


Thoughts?

[ZombieMan]

I think that Tough Enough is a total waste. They will never use those talents, more than likely. The only one that I personally liked was Maven and they use him poorly because he sucks on the mic, I think. Thats about my only thoughts, and I hope that they don't do another Tough Enough.

[carnage4u]

tough enough is crap, but its 100X better then the HUGE waste diva search. that makes me turn off wrestling.

[DangerMouse]

I really hope Batista buries HHH good at Baclash. Also they need to get Austin back to take over things. Beshoff needs Batista bombed even harder then HHH.

I'd like to see a Batista v/s Goldberg match. Maybe Goldberg will be back after he is done promoting the Longest Yard with Austin and Kevin Nash.


I'd like to see HHH just go to Smackdown and see someone new feud with Batista.

As long as HHH stays on RAW, its going to be HHH either being or feuding with the heavyweight champ. He'd never take a secondary feud role like past champions like Benoit or Jerhico have done.

I wonder if he's to ego-centric about the whole title thing, or if he has serious doubts about being able to actually carry a secondary feud like Benoit and Y2J without fading from popularity.

Neither Y2J or Benoit NEED a title feud to stay popular.

I'm not so sure about HHH.

[ChaCho]

HHH just needs to die, done.
Batista is awsome, he's great.
Imagine this one day Austin is GM of RAW again, and he makes this match for the World Title:

Batista vs Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat Match
THAT WOULD BE AWSOME!
JUST AWSOME!

[sandman441]

it's not WWE but Chris Candido died

http://www.tnawrestling.com/


Chris Candido has died tonight according to numerous friends of his working in TNA. He was apparently eating dinner at home tonight, collapsed, and was rushed to the hospital. He then died at the hospital. We are still seeking confirmation from the hospital.

Chris Candido, age 33, suffered a freak ankle break on Sunday's TNA PPV in the opening match. He was taken to the hospital and had surgery the next day. He was back at the TNA TV tapings a day later, managing The Naturals in their NWA Tag Team Title win on Tuesday night.

He was said to be nervous Sunday night about his future in wrestling because he had worked so hard to come back from drug addiction to clean up his life. He was relieved to find out that TNA and a number of indy promoters who had him booked all said they would use him and pay him if he could show up in a wheelchair or on crutches

I'm totally shellshocked at the news. The guy was a talented wrestler and I really liked the Triple Threat in ECW. Was he still married to Tammy Lynn Sytch (WWE's Sunny)?

And he was only 33?????? No way.

I expect WWE to air a small tribute for Candido next week..

RIP :(

RIP Chris

[ZombieMan]

Below is the story that I just read on Candido's passing. I'm sooo sorry to hear this. Chris Candido was my favorite TNA superstar and in my opinion was one of the best wrestlers in the business. This really sucks, and I thought it was bad when he broke his ankle, I really threw a fit over that because thats how much I like that guy. Damnit, why did this have to happen like this?

LATE BREAKING NEWS

The DOI has found out today from NWS Promoter Joe Panzarino, that one of the greats in the business, Chris Candido, passed away tonight. The early reports is that Candido died from a staph infection. This is all we know as of right now. We at the DOI are hoping that this story isn't true, but as of right now according to Joe Panzarino and Balls Mahoney, Chris Candido passed away today at a young age.

The DOI sends its condolences to the friends, family and fans of Chris Candido.

More On Chris Candido

The DOI can 100% confirm that Chris Candido did pass away this past Thursday night. It seems that he received some sort of staph infection during his surgery to fix his broken ankle.

I have talked to alot of people in the wrestling world in the last hour and everyone is just in a huge state of shock. Chris Candido was definitely one of the most liked guys in wrestling. Being in locker rooms, and hearing from people who have been around him, I can tell you that every wrestler from the rookies to veterans, got along with him. Chris would wrestle with anyone and try to make everyone he wrestled look good.

Again, our condolences go out to the family, fans and friends of Chris Candido.

Thank you VERY much, I agree 100% Rogue. :D

After Crock vs Goldturd on PPV, I never want to see either one of them in the ring again.

Crock Lesnar hurts too many people in the ring, and his lawn dart impression sucks.

The fourth Tough Enough competition was conducted as part of WWE's SmackDown! show between October and December 2004. The prize was a $1,000,000 professional wrestling contract. The winner of the fourth series was Daniel Puder.

Maven is rarely used

Miss Jackie is rarely used

Tough Enough 3 "winners" are forgotten

Puder is rarely used (almost forgotten)


Thoughts?

Well to be fair a new winner like Puder would need more training that he recieved in the short time of the contest to become the right standard for WWE. But its true Tough Enough is flawed in the fact that just because they are trained from stratch with WWE doesnt really mean they will be suited for the WWE roster. In fairness the guys the Tough Enough winners gotta compete with are huge star in comparison e.g. Jericho, HHH, Christian, Guerraro etc. So maybe in the future when WWE need to build up there roster again with fresh faces then we'll see Maven truly flurish, but of course when his contract is up we could see him become something really special in the indies.

Aight so you all tellin me you wouldnt like to see that Triple Threat Match??
between Goldberg, Brock, and Batista....... wow
those three wrestlers have to be the only wretlers in HISTORY to ever make such a big impact, show so much domination, in that little time.
You wouldnt like to see Batista who right now is wow just incredibly strong, BrocK Lesnar who is a three time WWE Champion, whose profile is awsome.
And with Goldberg... wow just look at his WCW record, this three guys fighting each other on the top of their game, it would be a killin match. At WMXX when Brock and Goldberg fought I believe it was an awsome match between them both, now add Batista to the equation, AWSOME!

Sorry but the Brock vs. Goldberg match was horrible. But I'm not blaming them, the crowd just couldnt get behind it with the knowledge that they were leaving WWE. The bit I highlighted is a ridiculous statement, for one I could name several wrestlers who have made a HUGE impact on WWE in a short time e.g. Kurt Angle, Stone Cold, hey Hulk Hogan changed the face of wrestling forever and that was only the beginning of his career. Secondly to say that Goldberg has made a huge impact is silly, he is a boring competitor only in it for the money. I'll admit though that Batista is impressive and Lesner has...well...one really cool match and that was against Angle at Wrestlemania 19.

[FVD]

I thought the match was okay. It could have been better but I was getting angry at the crowd's chants most of the time. Sure they were all correct in what they cried but I thought it was a bit too much. Still I'd think that both Brock and Bill couldn't care less what they all think.

Ummmm nooooo...Though, Batista is pretty talented and still has a long way to go yet. He has many things that he could pull off if he would just try it.

[FVD]

Veering away from the powerhouses for the moment.

I'm just tuning into Smackdown right now and what I want to know is.... who is this new Tag Team MNM? And who is that chick with the plastic chest???? And they're champs already??? My my my.

FVD.

[FVD]

...plus is Heidenreich heading for a face turn? His poems are hilarious.

[FVD]

...okay so I'm seeing this MNM team now. And it looks like Johnny Nitro is in this team. And this Melina. The way she enters the ring. WOW!!! :omg:

FVD.

[FVD]

...and now Eddie has turned heel. It was coming I'm sure a lot of you saw it coming.

And here comes Matt Morgan. His opponent Mikey Whiplash??? Are WWE trying to copy the Mikey Whipwreck character? Fat chance.

*And I apologise for the multiple postings btw.*

They should've just signed Mikey Whipwreck. Man, that guy is great. Innovator of the Whippersnapper aka Stone Cold Stunner.

[ZombieMan]

...plus is Heidenreich heading for a face turn? His poems are hilarious.

Yesss, he is definitely making a face turn. It sort of surprised me, but its taking him awhile to get over with the crowd. I think that he's hilarious, personally. Did you all hear his poem about farts a few weeks back?! LMAO!

[ChaCho]

Eddie wow, its annoyin when he is heel.
Rey, im just sorry for the man.
And Heidenreich, i dont think he is good enough in a face angle, hes much more dominant and scary as Heel.
MNM, man.... Tag Team Champions already, the Tag Team Division in both shows is gone. Just now in the anniversary of WWE Expirience they announced a Tag Team Turmoil at Backlash, for the World Tag Team Titles. But the opponents were... That new gay tag team, Hurricane and Rosey, Simon Dean and Maven and La Resistance, man i hate the tag division right now.

[sandman441]

...plus is Heidenreich heading for a face turn? His poems are hilarious.


I had no feeling toward heidenreich but for about the past month he has been pretty funny. When he said 2 friends are better than one I laughed I don't know why but it was just the sould of his voice and the way he said it.

[RedVader 2004]

Is Hulk Hogan and HBK as partners a really good idea. I personally would have liked to have seen Batista and Hogan versus HHH and Edge.

Also i think Chris Jerchio asks to get beat up sometimes. He and Shelton Benjamin match will be good no doubt but i'd like to see Chris get his clock cleaned. I know he is popular but I haven't liked him since he was on WCW. Now i like Canadian wrestlers Bret Heart, and Chris Benoit for they are two of the best wrestlers ever.

WWE Experience - The Show.
On sunday it was its one year anniversary.

Backlash was way better than what i expected, I ordered just to see Hogan and HBK against Hassan and Diavari, and of course HHH vs Batista.
But it was really entertaining, Shelton vs Jericho was a really good match and im happy Y2J lost, he was gettin annoyin.

Kane and Viscera was great too, Kane chockeslamin him was crazy, i thought he would like use a weapon amnd win like that.

I hate Edge, man i hope somethin happens to his briefcase and looses his shot or somethin.

Batista vs HHH was great too, seein HHH miss so many pedigrees was electrifyin, but the match of the night was Hogan and HBK vs Hassan and Diavari, i mean wow they were connected somehow and the cheers of the crowd after was awsome.

backlash was really good.

[slinger]

Looks like Jericho will leave the WWE at the end of the year when his contract is up. He hasn't had injury time so there has been no break for him or the usual return from injury push in the past five years. He's not going anywhere and its unlikely he'll get a push unless he agrees to extend his contract. But his character needs an overhaul. Turning heel won't do it, I think. He's a big enough name in Canada that he could have his own TV show, and has guest hosted OTR a few times.

[Halofan1]

Backlash ruled.

[ZombieMan]

Looks like Jericho will leave the WWE at the end of the year when his contract is up.

That would be quite sad. I would hate to see Jericho leave the WWE.

[RedVader 2004]

How about that great Shelton Benjamine and HBK match on Raw last night. HBK got really lucky that Benjamin made such a mistake. HBK was great as all ways but i'd like to see the match again for Shelton v/s HBK 2.

Also how about Batista pulling the rope away from HHH causing him to loose. However its just mean battered Benoit would have to wrestle Kane next week.

[carnage4u]

the benjamin/HBK match was the best match of the night, even last few months.

[ZombieMan]

I personally think that Edge will win this tournament and set up his first match against Batista. Afterall, I think Edge is the only heel that is still "in" the tournament. They aren't going to let a babyface go against Batista. Also this will set up the Edge/Batista feud that will be happening later on, since Edge has another title shot anyhow.

[onelegasy]

Geez, I have to start watching wrestling again, this may be interesting.

[onelegasy]

The new diva search will once again take place on RAW, and run from 6/13 thought 8/15. The winner will receive a $200,000 cash prize and a one year contract for $50,000

[ChaCho]

RAW last night has been one of the best RAW's in a loooong ass time.
That tournament is a really nice idea, very entertaining.

Kane and Christian was an OK match, more funny was at the end Ric rappin lol

Edge and Y2J, im just like turned weird, I mean why would they let Edge win??? he already got a title shot, Y2J deserves it soooo much more than him, and even if Y2J wouldnt have won the tournament it would have made the plot more interesting.

HHH and Benoit, WOW IM SOO GLAD BENOIT WON, before the match i swore to myself HHH wins the tournament and i never watch RAW again, im just ****in tired that HHH always challeneges for the title, im not tired im pissed about it, and Benoit winnin will make a nice match for next week with Kane.

Easily, Easily the BEST MATCH was HBK vs Benjamin, that was an awsome match, real wrestling, the counters, strength moves, the crwod, the adrelaine, and WOWOWOOWOWOW that Sweet Chin Music at the end, it was BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL, one of Shawn Michaels' best Sweet Chin Music's, i juts love HBK, and him winning the tournamnet, wow, just last night it proved HBK is back on the hunt.

[filmstudent04]

any ideas on what will happen to hhh now that he isnt in the tourney?...they could set up a short feud between him and jericho to make somethings interesting considering both are out of the tourney...plus ive always liked those two feuding, they really seem to have good chemistry in the ring.

[RedVader 2004]

I think H will ruin all the other matches and maybe try and take out any possible number one contenders. Now if Edge and HHH wait to long the may be drafted away from Raw. I think some differant matches need to happen and have new wrestlers on Raw. I always thought they should be one belt and all the wrestlers wrestle on both programs. They should just make them 3 hours like WCW use to do.

[onelegasy]

WHAT???

How can you possibly think that HHH will ruin all the other matches?

HHH always shares the spotlight and never interferes.

Are you sure that you have been watching Raw?

[chewie]

I think that on Monday that HHH will have something planned for Batista to exact revenge on him. That or just whine to Bischoff like he normally does.

[ZombieMan]

WWE has signed Gangrel to a contract, however, he has been down in Ohio Valley Wrestling training for his TV comeback. There is no word on when we'll see Gangrel, but it's thought that injury is the reason we've yet to see him on TV.

News courtesy of www.lordsofpain.net


This is some of the best news that I have heard in FOREVER! I am a HUGE fan of Gangrel and I can't wait to see him back in the WWE ring. This is so freakin' awsome! :) I'd like to see another version of "the brood". How about taking that new "Heart Throb" tag team out of their dumb gimmick and making another brood with them guys? I just hope that WWE doesn't stick Gangrel and Viscera together as a team, that would suck ass.

[DangerMouse]

If this means anything, an upcoming RAW is going to be held in a city close to where I reside.

The main event being promoted is a HHH/Rick Flair vs. Batista handicap tag match.

I believe it could be either this coming Monday or the Monday after that.

As for Chris Jericho, I had heard in the past that for some reason, Vince never thought of Chris Jericho as being a "Main Eventer". Why, I have no idea.

I think its sad though. As far as RAW goes, IMO Chris Jerico is the best wrestler/on mic talent the WWE has. How you don't put those two together and get "Main Event" is anyone's guess.

I wonder if the whole conversation with Benjamin will lead to Jericho leaving the WWE for a bit but to return at a later date with a push.

Unless Jericho is just plain sick of the WWE and the conversation prior to Jericho's match was for real.

[ChaCho]

i just feel bad for jericho
he really deserves even a plot of challenging for the title.
you know something i noticed, i havent seen undertaker since wrestlemania...
what if he gets drafted to raw, that would be comosional.

[FVD]

Well sadly I missed Backlash and now that hearing that it was a good PPV, I'm even more pissed. :(

At least I'll catch RAW tomorrow.

[onelegasy]

Jericho should have a storyline with HHH in which he angers HHH and wins a couple unimportant matches, and then (get this) HHH will win at a PPV and bury Jericho!

No one will see it coming!

[ChaCho]

wow...^^^ thought u were gonna say for Jericho to get somethin good
not an ass whuppin.

[stunt double]

Finally... WWE has come back... to Vegas!!

Vengence at the T&M, I am so getting tickets.

[ChaCho]

fresh, to Vegas.
theres always a nice crowd there.

[filmstudent04]

aight cmon now, how long is H gonna be gone for really? Any ideas...i don't think it'll be that long

[FVD]

I hope he stays away for a while. Things will hopefully be better without HHH for a while. They usually do though. What will Flair do I wonder.

[DangerMouse]

He'll be back next week.

They are promoting a HHH/Rick Flair vs. Batista handicap match on this weeks RAW in Omaha.

At least that's what has been announced in order to sell tickets.

[ZombieMan]

Here is an interesting little story that Davari has posted on his website according to www.lordsofpain.net


"Mania was awesome! You should know what happened by now. I've become an active wrestler in the WWE roster it seems. I hope I haven't disappointed anyone yet. Now I'm gonna tell you a quick horror story about myself in Europe. Chris Benoit and Rob Conway warm up before the matches by doing free standing Hindu squats. They usually do about 500 a piece. It took them some time to build up to that many. The average person can do about 20 before cramping up. Someone in decent shape can do about 75-100. I wanted to give it a try so I went for it and I did about 400...the last 75 were total crap with me using every ounce of my existence to get back up so I'll say 325. The next day I couldn't even walk! I was so sore and tense in my legs that I couldn't bend my knees past 45 degrees, and as the day went on my range of motion got less and
less. Two days later was RAW and I couldn't even bend my legs at all! Don't ask me how, because I don't know, but adrenaline is a crazy thing and I ended up working a tag match which you saw on TV. I hobbled back to the locker room and took a piss and to my amazement it was red. The
next day I was in even more pain and sick as hell. I puked about 5 times. I was managing Mohammad and got through another day. Came back to the locker room and my pee was blackish-brown. Like Dr. Pepper. Gave a sample to the doctor and he ran some tests on it and got back to me the
next day turns out the red then eventually black was the actual muscle fiber in my legs! They had been broken down so much they traveled into my blood stream got to my kidneys and I ended up pissing it out. That's why i was so sick. Now I feel better after a couple days, just legs are
really sore. And that was my trip to Europe!"

[slinger]

aight cmon now, how long is H gonna be gone for really? Any ideas...i don't think it'll be that long

Probably in the Batista vs Edge match causing a DQ. Wouldn't be on the fans' minds well the majority, he wants Batista to lose to himself, not to win or even lose to someone.

[filmstudent04]

wow davari is kinda insane id say...and that story is gross man but i give him credit for doing them...but also i give him credit for being a moron

[ZombieMan]

^^^ I don't see how that story is really gross. Its the human body and how it reacts to different situations. As for him being a moron, I really doubt that he is one.

In other news...
I just read that Luther Reigns was released from WWE today, but I don't know why yet.

Here is an interesting tidbit about Tammy Lynn Sytch. I guess her and Candido were still together when he passed away. In other news, Captain Lou Albano suffered a heart attack but is doing better and is being released from the hospital soon.

UXW promoter Frank Goodman posted a message on the promotion's official website indicating that former WWE/WCW/ECW superstar Tammy Lynn Sytch was hospitalized over the weekend for a minor nervous breakdown. Sytch is currently out of the hospital, and asked Goodman to post the message about her hospital stay in order to kill rumors that the reason she was in the hospital was due to an overdose of pain medication.

Just this past Saturday, Sytch made her first public wrestling appearance since the death of Chris Candido at a Women's Extreme Wrestling show at the Electric Factory. After a ten bell salute to Candido, Sytch gave a short speech before the matches began and managed indy wrestler Talia later in the show. Sytch was wearing Candido's old ring jacket during the entire event.

[RedVader 2004]

Does Kain need Litas help in winning matches now. For it looked like to me that Lita held onto Benoit so Kain could win. Wait and see Lita will be the villain and when Trish comes back she will be not as dirty. I want to see Viscera take on better wrestlers on monday nights. He is a crazy ugly guy but he's kind of cool.

[ZombieMan]

Its about time that they got Viscera into an actual storyline type of angle. But its kind of a rip off of Val Venis and Mark Henry's old characters if you ask me. Its just more raunchy.

[FVD]

It's kinda sad in a way that Reigns has gone. He was funny in places for example, trying to lift his own jeep prior to WM21.

[ChaCho]

Luther gone sucks he coud have done very good in a diff role.
HHH i hope he juss leave WWE.
HBK losing to EDGE to EDGE LIKE THAT
MAN I WAS ****EN PISSED.

[beyond_th3]

especially after the hell of a match he had with shelton. I really am getting tired of the whole "briefcase" thing. How many matches is he going to win using a plastic case?

[chewie]

Here is the preview for WWE RAW tonight from WWE.com:

It’s finals time.

The Gold Rush Tournament comes to a close as the No. 1 Contender to Batista’s World Heavyweight Championship is officially determined. Will it be the Big Red Monster Kane, or “Mr. Money in the Bank” Edge?

Edge has used his coveted briefcase at every opportunity to help get him over the top in recent matches, while Kane has his own X-factor in wife Lita. Will the Gold Rush Tournament end with Edge being chokeslammed to Hell, or with Kane being speared off his feet? Tune in Monday night to find out — alongside the World Heavyweight Champion — who Batista’s next opponent will be.

Also announced for RAW, Ric Flair gets his match against Christian. “The Dirtiest Player in the Game” dispatched with Tyson Tomko last week on RAW, and now there’s nobody left between the former 16-time world champion and his target: Captain Charisma. Will Christian be able to come through in a huge match for his peeps? We’ll find out Monday.

And the team of Chris Jericho & Shelton Benjamin will get their chance at retribution when they face Muhammad Hassan and Daivari in tag-team action.

All this and much more, Monday night at 9/8 CT, only on Spike TV.

[ZombieMan]

This sounds like one hell of a Raw! All of those matches sound really good. Also, is it weird to anyone else that Lita's TV "partner" (Kane) is facing off against one of her real life partner's (Edge)? Don't tell me that they are going to turn her into a heel and side with Edge to go along with what really happened in real life. I really wouldn't doubt it because I've seen the WWE do such things before. Also, its a rumor that Trish will come back as a babyface, so its a pretty good chance I would say. Its just strange to me. I could be totally wrong, but anything can happen. As for Flair vs. Christian, I'm soooo pumped about that match. They are probably 2 of the best performers in WWE today.

[LS2002]

Does anybody have a feeling Lita is going to turn heel and join Edge tonight?

[RedVader 2004]

I think the Briefcase will help Edge tonight for Kane like The Undertaker is hard to beat. It may take a few chair shots to the head more likely then maybe even a spear.
I hope Kane beats him good but I still would have liked the finale match being Chris Benoit and HBK in the final match.

[carnage4u]

Well a better Raw then the last couple weeks.
lita turning on kane, was done well, and most of the show was enjoyable. more stacey always makes me happy.

I'm still dreading the summer with the diva search, and the stupid 1 month lotto... thats just going to suck.. its boring enough when it was 1 full raw.

[DangerMouse]

I thought for a moment they might have Edge lose so they could use that "guaranteed championship match" clause immediately after Batista would beat Kane.

Instead, I think Edge is going to lose his first match with Bastisa and then use the clause for the next pay per view.

The Lita turn was inevitable given the circumstances. I don't really think they had a choice considering the amount of flack she's been given (and rightly so) for the whole Matt Hardy/Edge ordeal.

[ZombieMan]

Matt Hardy has commented on last night's newest angle involving Lita/Kane/Edge. This is on his website...

I don't know about you guys, but in my opinion, the ending of Raw was tasteless and deplorable. It's literally sickening to see a real life tragedy exploited as a wrestling angle.


I can't say that I disagree with him, because I agree that it is sort of tasteless on how they went about the angle. It was actually kind of sickening for me to think what Matt might have been thinking last night if he was watching. The whole making out thing, eckkkkk, I'd be furious!

[ZombieMan]

Other than the whole Lita/Kane/Edge thing. Raw was VERY good last night with plenty of fun surprises! Randy Orton came back as a heel and Vinny Mac came out to tell him off and make fun of him. That was most excellent! It was really cool when Batista and Ric Flair were getting along backstage, after Batista told him that he had alot of respect for Flair's talent. Then when Batista made the save and pretty much set up a Ric Flair babyface turn, I was actually cheering! I like Flair alot, and it was good to see him wrestle again last night.

[chewie]

If Edge and Lita weren't getting enough heat already, they sure will now.

I like the idea of a month long draft. 1 show will not be all about the draft.

[DangerMouse]

Anyone know what is really going on with HHH then?

Are they giving him some time off to try and figure out a story line with him, or does he have another movie?

To tell you the truth I'm excited to see a RAW that won't have HHH as part of a story line for a little while. Now it seems like things are a little less predictable and everyone is on even footing.

Oh, and the Stacy Keibler "Superwoman" angle is freeking hilarious.

Hahaha, I share the same feelings as you on these things. About HHH being gone, I think that everyone on even footing as well and its less predictable. As for Stacy Keibler, I dig the new gimmick for her too. It is pretty funny! :D

[ZombieMan]

Everyone who is interested should watch Sunday Night Heat this coming Sunday. My good friend and ex-travel partner Trevor Rhodes is going to wrestle on there. I don't know if they will use his actual wrestling name or call him something else. He will be the big guy that looks just like Dustin and Dusty Rhodes, and he wears a cowboy hat usually to the ring. Go Trevor!

[RedVader 2004]

I hope Lita gets Batista Bombed or Chock slammed. Not that i am for weman abuse in wrestling. Its just she has it coming. I don't think Edge will do to well for i bet Kane really works him over . I bet Lita and Christy Hemme will end up having a slobber knocker.

What do you guys think of the whole month switching around thing. The draft will certainly make way for interesting matches. I just wish i could get smack down for my cable provider doesn't get UPN here yet.

[LordofKings]

Can someone tell me what happened with Matt Hardy/Lita, that whole incident? I don't know and keep hearing about it. Haven't watched much wrestling lately.

[DangerMouse]

Lita cheated on Matt with Edge.

Edge is married and used to be best friends with Matt. So both Matt Hardy and Edge's (soon to be) ex-wife are PO'd.

[LordofKings]

So Lita cheated on Matt (how long were they together?) with Matts best friend Edge? That's something I'd expect as an angle not a real life situation. LOL.

Sucks for Matt. Is that why he was released? Anyone know if he will join Jeff in TNA?

[ZombieMan]

I hear that Matt Hardy has signed on to wrestle for Ring of Honor later this summer.

Absolutley agree. That wasn't right and was pretty much a slap in the face to Edge's wife and Matt Hardy. I want to see Lita get the hell Batista Bomb'ed out of her.

But HHH is coming back. It's been confirmed there's a Hell in the Cell between him and Batista for the title at Bad Blood. Personally, Batista is doing a great job right now and I hope they keep him in the limelight for a long time.

[DangerMouse]

-sigh- :angry:

When is "Bad Blood"?

I think Batista is "over" enough that a third match with HHH is more self serving to HHH than it is an additional "push" for Batista.

I agree 100% that HHH needs to go to Smackdown and Batista needs a new feud with either Angle, Big Show or maybe even JBL.

But the HHH feud is "played out" as is HHH's character on RAW.

Take a backseat for a while Hunter.

[RedVader 2004]

I'd like to see a series of feud matches start up like maybe Shelton Benjamin stay on Raw and wrestle Benoit a couple of times or bring over a good rival for him in Booker T , Matt Hardy or Kurt Angle.

I'd like to see The Undertaker on Raw and get rid of Viscera and Hassan. I'd like to see a Batista v/s Taker series. Or Kane v/s Taker 3.

I just read this on www.lordsofpain.net

In an update on his website, Matt Hardy teased a debut with Total Nonstop Action:

"Shortly after that, I'm gonna take a vacation to Orlando on July 17th through the 19th, should be fun."

With TNA running a PPV on 7/17 and an Impact taping on 7/19, it seems very likely that Matt's cryptic message refers to a debut with NWA-TNA. It's been widely reported that TNA is interested in showcasing Matt's debut on PPV, and this statement definitely adds to the likelihood of such a debut taking place.


Very interesting news, and I have heard that Matt is suppose to debut with Ring of Honor also in July.

[filmstudent04]

totally did not see Flair turning on Batista...literally, like usually i catch those things. I kinda think H will lose too in the Hell in the Cell, its just too early to end batista's reign. We'll see tho...

[carnage4u]

im waiting for Triple HHH vrs batista number 9 before the title switches hand.
they might as well just say its the main event for rest of the year,, are they afraid to have batista feud with someone else?

[ZombieMan]

I was TOTALLY disgusted by the Edge/Lita angle last night when they came out and talked. Their comments weren't really directed towards Kane, but more like Matt Hardy from what I noticed. Everything that they said went right along with it, and I just couldn't believe it. I don't care if WWE is trying to teach them a lesson by making a hard angle for them to live by, its still ****ed up.

[chewie]

HHH and Batista fight in the Cell at Vengeance on June 26th. The last day of Raw's draft is that next day. I Figure if there is any chance of HHH going to Smackdown, it will be there. The next time they show a world title match on Raw, I think I'll go take a crap. I knew that the chances of Edge winning were slim to none, but can't they surprise us once in a while? I suppose not. The drought of the title changing hands on Raw continues and will continue till hell freezes over.

[DangerMouse]

There's "trying to keep people guessing" and then there's just plain poor storylines.

Last night's RAW falls in the later.

I enjoyed the heck out of last week's RAW and about 2 hours of last night's RAW.

Why? No HHH. Not the fact that he just flat out wasn't there, but the fact that him not being there in itself was a great plot line. I had no idea what to expect.

I thought maybe we had a pretty good story line going with an Edge/Batista feud. Possibly even a Bastista/Flair team-up story line to take on a possible Edge/Lita/Christian/Problem Solver (can't remember his name).

But once again Mr. "turd in the punchbowl" couldn't keep his enormous schnozz out of the main storyline and just insert himself back into the limelight.

Now I'd like to know what the whole point of the Lita heel turn was for?

Seriously? Why. Why did they have a #1 contender's tournament?

Why in the holy heck did HHH leave in the first place if only to tease us for 1 week and do a run in during the last 5 minutes of last nights RAW?

Earth to Vince!!! Last week's RAW was a ratings coup!!! JR said as much on the air.

The reason? NO HHH.

Silly me. I thought the WWE was actually on to something by actually opening up an honest to goodness storyline.

Guess I'll never learn.

Thank God for remote controls and "24". Maybe I'll start watching 24 and TiVo RAW so I can just FF through all the crap from here on out.

[DangerMouse]

Also, I hope to gawd Vince keeps his word and lets Heyman run ECW his way.

It would be nice to see an actual alternative to WWE other than Total "Jeff Jarrett lifetime Champion" Wrestling.

I don't care if WWE is trying to teach them a lesson by making a hard angle for them to live by, its still ****ed up.Regarding that whole situation, I have this to ask: Lita cheated on Matt Hardy with Edge. Why then was Matt Hardy released from the WWE??

One more thing: Now that Lita is a heel, is it possible that Trish will return as a face?

[HotBoy]

totally did not see Flair turning on Batista...literally, like usually i catch those things. I kinda think H will lose too in the Hell in the Cell, its just too early to end batista's reign. We'll see tho...My predictions:

1. Triple H will win the title back.
2. Batista will be traded to Smackdown.
3. Because of the draft, Triple H will get a new headache...John Cena!!!

[RedVader 2004]

I really hope heel or not Trish breaks Litas leg. They are messing with fire for adventurally they will get burned messing with the most sick wrestler on raw or smackdown.

I doubt Batista will go to smackdown. But i think in the finale switch it will be HHH and the UNdertaker.

[DangerMouse]

I'd like to see Kane go back to the mask.

And you expect from Vincent K McMahon: _______?

i agree

[Se7en the movie]

Is anyone else truly BORED by Hell In A Cell matches. Shawn Michaels v Undertaker and Mankind v Undertaker and even HHH v Mick Foley are the classics of this type of match but like the Ultimate X match in NWA-TNA you cant use it so often or it fails to incite excitment from the crowd! What about the cage match? Why has this been neglected? Vince vs Austin, Bossman vs Hogan, Harly Race vs Flair (ok not WWE), Angle vs Benoit all GREAT matches but we dont see cage matches anymore and lets be fair the Hell In A Cell is a glorified cage match. You dont need to end EVERY rivalry that has a lot of heat with a Cell match. Also look at the last few Cell matches, Michaels vs HHH (Carbon copy of their superior Non-Sanctioned match at Summerslam), Kevin Nash vs HHH (Not awful, but only because of Foley taking those nasty chair shots), HHH vs Jericho was ok but not in the same league as Taker v Foley. Now it may seem like i'm just an anti-HHH guy, I'm not, I think HHH is fantastic, great mic skills and when he gets in the ring with the right opponent the matches can be brilliant! Its just this constant overuse of the Cell match that is annoying me. I like both Batista and HHH but ending their rivalry with a Cell match is the wrong way to go that is unless they got something really special planned.

So PLEASE Vince stop the Cell matches. It extremely difficult to surpass the display made by Taker and Mankind, only use Cell matches sparingly and give other gimmick matches a chance to shine. Thank you for your time.

[ZombieMan]

I'd like to see Kane go back to the mask.

I couldn't agree more. I would have him get "burned" again by Lita or something. Then have him put the mask back on and go insane like he was when he first came into his Kane character. He use to be this bad ass monster that was hard to destroy and wreaked havoc on all of the wrestlers and it was mainly intimidation, so lets see it happen again, PLEASE VINCE!

[ZombieMan]

One more thing: Now that Lita is a heel, is it possible that Trish will return as a face?

More than likely. I think that is what they are aiming for anyhow.

[DangerMouse]

ZombieMan-is the "Hell in a Cell" match typically a "end of a fued" type match?

Do you think we will actually see HHH and Batista actually move into seperate story lines?

And to answer someone's question, Trish will come back as a face.

[chewie]

Earth to Vince!!! Last week's RAW was a ratings coup!!! JR said as much on the air.


I think RAW got a 5.7 last week, which is the highest I've seen in a while. I guess a lot of people realized that Trips wouldn't be there.

Bingo.

I'm willing to bet ratings will be down this week due to HHH's return.

To be honest with you, I have never worked a "Hell in a Cell" match. But from what I gather, its usually an ending to a feud. From what I have seen over the years and from what I can remember. Its a good way to go out of a feud with a bang, and it would make sense. Because both wrestlers "hate" each other so much and "Hell in a Cell" is considered the premium matchup that is the most raw in the WWE.

I don't think that HHH and Batista will move into their own seperate storylines either because HHH just can't stay out of the spotlight, no matter what happens. I will be surprised if Trips goes into his own storyline with someone else. I'm betting that this Batista/Edge angle will involve HHH soon enough and we will probably see some triple threat matches on PPV. Also, when Randy Orton returns, I guarantee a feud between him and Batista with Trips in the middle too.

[Se7en the movie]

Siiiiigh....nevermind.

Anyway has there been a draft lottery or what yet? I havent seen either show in a long while.

[urnothinglikeme]

wwe is silly these days its so ridiculus i turned to it and saw this fat dude with a bed on the stage

[Se7en the movie]

To be honest with you, I have never worked a "Hell in a Cell" match.

Wait, you're not the Undertaker? ;)

[DangerMouse]

Anyone know (or care) what's up with the Chris Master's storyline?

I'm wondering only because after the incredibly stiff match with Steven Richards (that put him out of commission), they started the whole "Masterlock Challenge", and he didn't wrestle anyone.

Either it was punishment for the sloppy match vs. Richards, or they were planning on have something going with Richards to begin with. The reason I say this is Steven Richards was Masters' first ring match since... Steven Richards.

[ZombieMan]

Not anymore, I use to be though. ;) :P

Hell in a Cell were the best matches.

Triple H's problem is he thinks it's all about him and really he's killing the business.

[Se7en the movie]

They used to be good matches! But doing them so often is really making them stale. Also since the match is supposed to be the most brutal thing in the world, it really means you need to do something special to emphasize its extremely dangerous nature e.g. Mick Foley falling through the cage so many times, Shawn Michaels falling off. But when you have matches like HHH vs Michaels or Nash vs HHH or HHH vs Jericho which really werent THAT exceptional then it causes people to lose interest and not get excited about a Hell In A Cell match. People like me...

[ZombieMan]

This has nothing to do with the WWE but it is sad news to the wrestling world. An indy wrestler was killed last night after a move was not pulled off the right way. This just goes to show how dangerous the business really is and alot of people don't realize it. Most people think that the ring is like a trampoline or something, from what I gather from most fans at shows when they ask me how the ring is made. Its just as hard as my living room floor in that ring, and the ring that my promotion uses, we don't have a spring to hold up the ring. What makes the bounce is the plywood under the thin mat, and under the plywood is steel bars all the way across the ring. I feel horrible for this guy and his family, he was very young.

Indy wrestler Dan Quirk, who wrestled under the name Spider, passed away last night after injuries occurred when performing a plancha while working for Ultimate Championship Wrestling in Taunton, Massachusetts. According to several reports, Quirk's opponent was unable to catch him, causing Quirk to crash to the floor headfirst. Quirk was out immediately with blood visible after he hit the floor. The match was immediately halted and an ambulance was called. Efforts to revive Quirk were unsuccessful. He was only 22 years old.

Tragic.

[Rogue]

Trips' problem is that everyone is over him. No one gives two ****s about him anymore. He thinks every match he is in has to be a big name, big money match. That's why I don't want to see him in a HiaC match. I'm sick of him and I'm sick of his gimmick. All I can say is that Batista is actually doing pretty good so I hope that they give him a shot to keep going instead of handing the damn strap back to Triple H. If they do, I'm so done with WWE. If Triple H regains the title, Raw will go straight back to hell again.

It's actually watchable right now but for how long, I don't know.

I mean, did anyone else notice that Raw was just so much better when Triple H wasn't there? You knew that there wouldn't be 20 minutes dedicated to his mindless drivel in the ring. You knew he wouldn't come out and "blah blah I'm so great. Blah blah I'm the franchise. Blah blah blah." It was just SO much better without him there. Granted, he's VInce's son-in-law, but I would think that the shrewd businessman in Vince would get the fact that Trips is KILLING Raw.

*sigh* When will they learn that if Triple H is champ again or even given tons of screentime, people are just going to cease to watch? I find it hard to believe that his biggest fans want to watch him and that's sad.

Moving on --

Lita and Edge. Eh. Suitably unimpressed and that saddens me. I'm a big fan of both when they aren't together. I mean, come on, where'd the "you screwed Matt!" chants go? ;) That was pure comedic gold.

Stacy with Hurricane and Rosey is just too cute! Viscera and Lillian is getting old. It was funny at first but come on, move it along people. It's peaked already, get it moving.

Victoria and Christy? Say it ain't so. We all know that Victoria could whup her ass in a minute so why try this angle? And did you see that horrendous reaction by Maria after Victoria nailed her? God, no wonder she isn't in the ring..she sucks as an interviewer too. Don't know why she's on the payroll. :confused:

;)

Wait, is Christy the RAW Diva winner? Why cant they get some bad ass women wrestlers from Japan or something to actually have competent women's division? I mean Victoria, Molly Holly, Lita and (surprisingly) Trish Stratus deserve some actual challenges and we know by the match Trish and Lita had a few months back that the women's division can be brilliant!

First off, I totally agree about Triple H, and I'm sure everyone else agrees too. As for the "You screwed Matt chants", I heard the crowd chant it last night! They just didn't do it for too long. I agree that the Viscera and Lillian Garcia angle has already peaked and should be ended already. Its old for sure, but they might be able to spice it up somehow, like throw something TOTALLY crazy into the fold. I agree that Victoria vs. Christy is going to be really boring. I couldn't believe my eyes last night when Victoria punched Candice and Candice forgot to sell it and just kind of stood there like she wasn't even hurt, that SUCKED! But Victoria did deliver a really good looking super kick to Maria, it looked very real. Perfectly done, props to Victoria on that one! :)

[sandman441]

When will they learn that if Triple H is champ again or even given tons of screentime,


I used to be a big fan of the WWF I quit watching in about '99 it was the night after a PPV I think it was mick foley vs. HHH anyway he came out and he did atleast an hour promo I quit watching after about a half an hour and would periodically turn it back to see what was going on I think he talked for about an hour and a half after that I couldn't watch it anymore I did though start to get back into it last year but nowhere near as much as before I only watch certain wrestlers now.
