Raw was weak...
I'm surprised that wrestlers are allowed to use the release German suplex. Last night both Richards and RVD landed on the back off their necks wow, and I thought the piledriver was dangerous.
Rosie and Jamal need some competion otherwise they just beat up announcers, women, and midgets. If there that tough have em face Kane + Bradshaw.
Lawler sucks.
I'm glad Richards is ok, he's had a history of neck problems.
Stibbons, I think the last straw for Jeff came a few months ago in that squash feud with the Undertaker. Jeff's been in the fed for years and did a fantastic job putting RVD over last summer, and how does the WWE reward him for his loyalty? By having Taker no-sell, and beat him CLEANLY in THREE STRAIGHT MATCHES, not ONCE putting him over! (And no, a handshake at the end of their ladder match does NOT count. Fuck Taker.) As if Taker at all needed the rub anymore, Jeff even going over on him ONCE may have done wonders for his character, but Taker just basically buried what was left of his wrestling career.Quote:

Same with Jeff Hardy. He\'s lost all the motivation to put any effort into any of his matches, and the guy obviously stopped working out long ago. He gets winded to hell in the middle of his entrance.
I think at that point the epiphany finally hit him, the glass sealing would forever be on his head, and no matter how hard he tried he would likely NEVER advance beyond the mid-card, so long as guy's like Taker & HHH were holding everybody down and Vince had a hard-on for big men in the ring.
Oh, and I got this little tidbit from Wrestling Observer...
Good God, Vince, WAKE THE HELL UP! USA already gave up your show's spot and now TNN seems like their ready to dump you as well after Monday's poorly-acted, poorly-scripted super soft-core lesbian porn circus. Don't fall back into these old schlock storylines that we hated a few years ago and sent ratings dropping to begin with. Give us some REAL wrestling! And by "real" wrestling I DON'T mean giving HHH a championship belt out of nowhere and putting him against people who can't carry him to a decent match anymore like Flair. Lord help the man if RVD can't carry him to a decent match in their forthcoming feud...Quote:
TNN issued a statement earlier today concerning the content of last night's Raw show, not defending its product at all.
"TNN takes serious issue with the content of Monday night's WWE RAW episode, and has expressed its deep concern to the WWE. We don't condone the content of this episode, and will work diligently to ensure that similar occurrences do not appear again on our network."
TNN issued the statement before ratings for the show came out.
The sad thing is that it is very evident that Jeff doesn't care any more. He looks burnt out from all the shit he goes through on the road.
Billy and Chuck Wedding Smackdown results spolier
That was probably the best the whole "gay wedding angle" could have turned out.
That's true, but don't forget that the whole Matt/Jeff/Lita breakup earlier this year ended abruptly because the Hardys started showing up late for shows, missed some entirely, and stopped caring. He should be thankful he ever even got a Taker feud.Quote:

Kurt Angle's been held down in the upper mid-card for almost four years now. Even during his title runs he was treated as a mid-carder. But he's got casual and dedicated wrestling fans believing he's the best wrestler on the planet because he works his ass off and really is the best on the planet. Jeff needs to develop a similar desire for being the best, rather than assuming it's going to be handed to him. Jeff's still working for a paycheck, whether he's under the glass ceiling or not, and he needs to start trying to earn it instead of shittying up my TV.
That marriage spoiler is great. The best writing the WWE has done in years for a skit. It\'s about time they started writing intelligently instead of dumbing their shows down like they\'ve always done.
Anyone know what happened to Bam Bam Bigelow, I used to be a fan of his in ECW.
I used to be a fan of Bigelow's too, back in the day. As for his current status, I believe...why, yes, he's still fat. ;)
Seriously, he's probably wrestling in the indies now.
