god will probably just end up being mick foley in a new "foley is god" t-shirt. that way they can be clever and sell some merchandise as well
If DX reforms im sure they might be able to sell some merchandise as well :D

I can't believe they actually promoted SmackDown with JBL's big-ass American celebration. Like anyone's gonna tune in to see that. He has to be the most boring main eventer in history. I change the channel as soon as he comes on and don't even go back, so you see it's bad for the rest of the show.

ECW Returning Full Time
The plan is to have the promotion return on a full-time basis in September. WW officials have begun talking to former talent about returning to work for the promotion.
There has been no decision on how the company will be brought back just yet. It's possible that it will take over the present OVW territory, that it will be a promotion that gets matches on the Raw and/or Smackdown promotions or possibly in some other manner.
Paul Heyman and Tommy Dreamer will be booking ECW when it starts up.
WW is offering talent three year deals which consist of a series of one year contracts with rollover clauses. The Sandman, Francine and Balls Mahoney are all being sent contreacts this week.

There's a huge dilemma there in what the current ECW wrestlers who are employed by the WWE will do. RVD & Joey Styles are my personal worries. Altghough they'd be better off relative to the promotion in ECW, I certainly wouldn't want to see RVD jeapordise his career by deciding to move back over to ECW.
And Smackdown wasn't all that bad...it just wasn't that exciting. There were some stinkers on RAW last year, this Smackdown had them beat.

They should give ECW its on show late on like Saturdays on USA. I liked the whole poor production of ECW so I hope they stick to small venues and the shitty camera work like before. I really like this idea because this means they will be able to bring up some new "ECW" talent and we can see that style that has been missing from wrestling since ECW folded.
Nebuchanezzar
04-24-2006, 05:02 AM
They can bring it up, but they'll just be saddled with horrible gimmicks (legend killer ^ 2 Rob Conway, Heartthrobs, Spirit Squad) like all the OVW talent. Hopefully Cornette will have some part in it as well, he's a helluva promoter (despite his firing).

I really don't believe that's the way they will go with it. Why even make it ECW if it will just be put on in the WWE ring before Raw and SD? That's not ECW. I think Vince knows that there is a huge base of fans that enjoyed the hardcore style of wrestling in a small, intimate environment. I bet you they try to recreate that.

Don't forget that Mark Henry also injured Batista. Damn, that Mark Henry is such a great asset for the WWE. Putting good wrestlers out of action, destroying all worthwhile storylines with his horrid skill, putting on boring promos. I used to stay out of the Mark Henry bashing because he already got enough shit from everyone else, now that he's put Angle out of action I'll concur to the general consensus: Fuck Mark Henry.

I totally agree Neb. That waste of space signed a 10 year, $10 million contract in 1996 and he has done nothing but injure himself and others during that span, all the while adding no moves to his repertoire or anything to his character. He offers nothing except a chance to hurt another quality superstar. Get him out of the ring and off my TV Vince! He's cost you $10M and the services of two World Champions in Batista and Kurt Angle. Time to cut your losses.

You guys do realize that Henry injuring Angle is a work, just like when he injured Batista? Angle's been really banged up for months now, and finally is at the point where he has no option but to take some time off. And Batista was injured going into their match.

Absolutely correct. I have friends who wrestle the indies, and as any "smart" fan knows, half of wrestling entails making your opponent look good and making sure you don't hurt him/yourself. They were both working hurt, but Henry injured them in different body parts than they were protecting (Angle-neck, Batista-triceps) On an unrelated topic, I do anticipate a DX reunion, as the crowd reaction the Shawn-Hunter taunts elicits too much of a genuine reaction from fans to have it lead nowhere.

Is this never ending Cena title reign the start of Cena's heel turn? If so, it's a lousy start. Cena is too good at talking to have a heel turn begin like this, I'd much rather his character change completely rather than descending into mediocrity like it seems to be doing.
Curtis
05-01-2006, 05:17 AM
Pay per view last night was ok
Trish breaking her arm was pretty nasty.
Shelton - RVD was a great match as expected.
It sucked that there was no real payoff for Shawn getting the big ladder, I mean he jumped on Spirit Squad and they put him through a table but eh It took long and like I said didn't deliver.
The whole McMahon vs. God angle and god coming down to the ring is one of the corniest worst angles EVER.
Shawn doing the crotch chop got a HUGE pop.
Big Show - Kane sucked. Kane hearing voices that WE can hear also is stupid. Big Show acts like he has no clue whats going on and the match was boring.
J.R. acted like he was drunk or on medication the whole night. Including him saying "That was bullshit" when Michaels lost. Also some weird things he was saying like "my eyes are watering".
Main even was good, but I HATE that Cena won but I suppose its for the better if Cena fights RVD at One Night Stand. There would be TONS of heat on him.
Trips taking out people at the end was nice as well as the 7 crotch chops he did which also got another big pop.
Trips was bleeding bad his face as truely a crimson mask.
I expect Tripple H to get pissed off he keeps losing the title and get mad at Vince teaming up with HBK down the line. DX reforms maybe at Summerslam cause I think it will be a big deal when it happens.

Not to mention this defeat actually renders Triple H's "King Of Kings" gimmick virtually useless. I kept expecting that Triple H will win at Backlash because his "king Of Kings" gimmick suggested he will regain the championship. In fact, I thought Triple H would win at backlash and WWE will develop a feud between him and RVD and RVD will cash in his MITB contract at ECW by fighting Triple H for the title.
Given the recent decline of support for Cena, WWE's continuous portrayal of him as the guy who always "overcomes the odds" is illogical.
As for Smackdown!, with Orton suspended and Angle injured, who the hell will even carry that show ?

It looks as if Cena will be dropping the title to RVD at One Night Stand. Joey Styles said in a recent interview that Cena would need armed escorts to enter the arena, and he shows no signs of losing before ONS. There is NO WAY he could defeat Van Dam in the Hammerstein before RVD's rabid ECW following. They will tear Cena apart, and if he would win, I'd fear for the safety of everyone in the arena. There is no more deserving person to wear the strap than Rob Van Dam!

All possibly true. I sure hope Rey doesn't meet the same fate as Eddie in having to job the belt to JBL though. He garners good heat, but Mysterio is the far superior wrestler,and receives an equal amount of cheers, so why not give him a run? Also, who do you think takes the IC belt from Van Dam? Benjamin again? I'm not sure.

DX is my favorite stable of all time even beating out the NWO. I started watching wrestling as a little kid when the Ultimate Warrior was the shit in the early 90's but stopped for awhile when I started watching again in late 97. Shawn Michaels was my favorite wrestler and still is. I will always mark out for DX cause im a big fan of the whole Kliq (Michaels, HHH, Nash, Hall, X-Pac, Justin Credible). I think its a great idea to bring them back because it would be something new and fresh because they havn't teamed up in 8 or 9 years. The fans want DX and maybe it will bring some old school fans from the Attitude era back.

Viewers' Choice Canada has given
out spoiler information regarding the next RAW pay-per-view Vengeance. The
preview for Vengeance states that Degeneration X will reunite, something
that has been teased for the past few weeks on RAW. Both Shawn Michaels and
Triple H have been doing the DX crotch chop sign and Michaels even acts like
he used to do when he was part of DX. Last Monday's face to face encounter
between the former DX members was certainly a sign of more things to come.
The site - at viewerschoice.ca - has removed all mentions concerning DX
earlier today.
Hmmm.
Also:
ECW signs several Superstars
As first reported by WWE’s new mobile alert system, ECW has signed the following:
The Sandman
Francine

Dave Meltzer reports that Mark Henry's WWE contract has been extended. Henry signed a 10 year guarenteed deal with the WWE back in 1996 after he was in the Olympics for $1 million dollars a year. Henry's new deal is not guarenteed and lasts through 2007. His money has been cut down from $1 million dollars to $300 grand.

Oh, geez. What is the deal with Vince's "big man" fetish? The big guys are so boring, with the exception of Taker, Kane, Show etc., but they got personalities.

Kane is old hat and boring. He goes from be an unstoppable good guy to a monster heel every year or so. He is dull.

I agree. I get bored with his matches, too. But at least he's got a gimmick, not just a random big guy.

I think Henry was resigned solely because he's someone who (in their minds) can be used as main event filler, which SD is really lacking.

Would it not be simply better if they pushed back someone like Booker T or Chris benoit back into the WWE title hunt instead using Mark Henry as main-event filler ?

Benoit and Booker can get a good match out of young guys on the way up. Henry can't.
Nebuchanezzar
05-08-2006, 12:28 AM
Benoit, as hard as it is to say is a dead end. He lacks charisma and he lacks the character that is needed to gain credibility (and stimulate the modern audience) in the main event picture. Booker T is much more promising.
Curtis
05-08-2006, 08:45 AM
Benoit is one of if not the best wrestler in the WWE and I hate how they have him as a high mid carder when he should be main eventing SmackDown! and Nebuchanezzar your logic is flawed about Benoit because he may lack charisma but so does Mark Henry and he is main event status. The vast majority of fans like Benoit because they know hes not charasmatic but that he puts on great matches.
and on the topic of signing superstars for ECW, I really want to see the Dudleys, they left WWE on bad terms and have a deal with TNA but im sure if WWE offers enough money they will leave TNA, another guy I would like to see WWE raid from them is Raven.
Also my friend sent me a text message last night saying WWE signed Justin Credible for ECW so thats a good move. I do like Clique members.

This just isn't true. Benoit is popular with the internet folks and other smarts because of his technical abilities and old school style. To the average wrestling fan he comes off as stiff on the mic and unable to get any real heat...which isn't far off. I like the guy, but he can be a bit boring.
Also, I don't think the Dudley's left WWE on bad terms. They had some time off to recover from some injuries and during that time their contract ran up. They couldn't agree to terms with WWE so they signed a deal with TNA. There isn't any bad blood that I've heard of, at least.
Curtis
05-08-2006, 11:12 AM
Lol there is bad blood from the whole legal issue WWE forced. The Dudleys had the name the Dudleys before they ever came to WWE and it was understood that when they left ECW that Paul Heyman had given them permission to use there gimmick in there future endeavors (sp?). Well when WWE fired them they argued that since WWE owned the rights to ECW they could not use the Dudleys name which obviousley pissed the Dudleys off. they were in a bind since the verbal agreement with Paul Heyman was never in writing he just told them. I read a few weeks ago that Devon said there is no way he would ever go back to WWE which I thought was a little absurd, if WWE is dedicated to recreating the ECW product that is where the Dudleys should be but then again its there career move, I find TNA to be boring I mean its like a softcore ECW with WCW storylines. Those dont mix well.
bauer

The Dudley's will be in ECW as soon as their TNA contract is up. Guaranteed.

Some Foley heel turn huh, the crowd didnt give a fuck because 99% of them didnt know what ECW is since they were in L.A. Kind of weird seing Dreamer get 0 pop and then Foley still get cheered at the end. If they were in Philly or the East Coast it would be a different story. HBK/Cena vs. Fag Squad my guess is HHH comes down for the save at the end and HBK and HHH just stair each other down again or whatever to end the night.

Don't know if I mentioned this or not but Friday I watched Smackdown at my friends house for the first time in like two months and I must say it is the WORST WWE show I have EVER seen.

Indeed. Did you Americans have the problem with save files being mysteriously deleted, or was that simply a PAL problem?
RAW this week kinda sucked. Half the audience didn't even know who Tommy Dreamer bloody well was. And what bothers me even more is that three quarters of the fans that are WWE fans now didn't watch or know about ECW before it came up last year, and yet suddenly everyone is a huge fan of it (despite no reaction for Dreamer). I have a sad feeling that they're going to want into the ECW brand, but I have an even sadder feeling for them that they won't exactly be...accepted by the ECW style.
bauer
05-14-2006, 08:24 AM
Tommy Dreamer embodied "ECW". He was the leader of the company. Those same fans that chant "ECW" when someone hits a big spot had 0 clue who he was. Stupid. They should have waited until they came back to the east coast (Philly or NY) to do that. Dreamer would have got a big pop and Foley would have got a ton of heat for his turn against him.

From what I read (mainly from Foley's book [No, I was not a wrestliong fan in 1995]), it was a damn good promo, although as mentioned there was no mention of Bischoff in the real promo. Actually, the story in Foley is good is quite humourous, I reccomend it.
Dr Zaius
05-17-2006, 07:53 AM
Yeah, in Foley's second book he admits that Funk never called Bischoff a homo in that ECW promo. He just made it up to make the story funnier, which got me wondering which of his other amusing anecdotes are partly made up.

WWE Interested In Road Dogg & Billy Gunn
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WWE officials made some informal contact in regards to bringing back the Road Dogg and Billy Gunn. As a matter of fact, Road Dogg was directly approached about coming back. However, Road Dogg and Billy Gunn are still under contract to TNA. Should the duo ever come back to WWE, there will be a penance to pay due to the inflammatory remarks they've made towards Triple H in interviews in the past.
Also, there has been some talk of having Shawn Michaels and Triple H add one or two younger wrestlers to the group to give them the rub like in the case with The Evolution faction. At this point, the "DX Reunion" set for June will simply consist of Shawn Michaels and Triple H being a tag team.

Not sure but if WWE wanted the NAO they could get them out of there TNA contracts easily with buyouts.

I honestly don't care to be honest. I'd much rather talk about this ECW thing, and once again I have to say Foley is doing an excellent job of hyping up the ECW thang, by completely going against everything that it stands for. I cannot wait until it takes the place of Velocity.

ECW ON SCI-FI CHANNEL STARTING JUNE 13TH
- "The Sci-Fi Channel today sent a press release announcing that ECW will be
airing on their channel starting weekly on June 13th at 10PM EST. ECW will
be taped along with Smackdown! on Tuesdays and will probably be on a very
short tape delay considering that the Smackdown! tapings start around 7PM
EST. It really depends which show tapes first because if ECW is taped after
Smackdown! the show would end just in time for the 10PM EST slot, leaving
WWE producers to do the necessary editing 'on the fly.' One thing is for
sure, ECW is back and in full force."

Hooray!
What does this mean for Australia, seeing as Velocity will now likely run as per usual. ECW was meant to take the place of Velocity, hence our provider wouldn't have had to pick up another TV show. Oh dear.

I don't like the pairing of Foley with Edge/Lita. Edge is so fucking boring, being with Foley doesn't give him more appeal. I think the point is to make Foley look like a jackass, and it does, but like I said - Edge is boring and I usually change the channel when he's on.

Im guessing after Edge loses to Cena at Vengence he will be the Raw pick to go to ECW, my guess is Angle will be Taz like in ECW just destroying people. Will be awesome, hope the ECW fans accept him though.

you'd think that vince mcmahon would have learned from summerslam 1994...

Why the hell can't I find a Shane O Mac jersey?
I checked through the auction history at wwe; figuring that if they weren't for sale, maybe a jersey Shane wore might be up on the block, but no such luck.
I just can't believe that the jersey isn't a regular piece of merchandise - I think it'd be a good seller.
p.s. - so sick of Kane's persona/storylines; it's just tired.

That hat makes Captain Charisma look too much like John Cena. But either way, that's pretty cool. Is he as cool as he seems on TV in real life?
Also, Heyman/Foley was good as usual. Lots of great history of ECW and the career of Mick Foley put in each persons promos that the audience failed to understand. There should have been a much bigger reaction when Foley said there's only four ways someone comes out of ECW.
Kane v Kane wasn't that bad either, I dunno what Vince was so annoyed about.

Not really. The money would be coming in faster by operating two companies under the one parent company, rather then merging them together.
or just stop watching WWE and just watch ECW?
Do you mean will the fans stop watching the WWE? Once again, I doubt it. So long as they keep them seperate, I reckon there's the good chance that they'll be able to compete with each other for storyline supremecy (something which TNA hasn't yet forced the WWE to do), and it would work out better for both in the end.
