I loved SD last night. The Brock-Kurt stuff was great, as was the Eddie-Benoit-Rhyno-Tajiri stuff. Gowen's match was okay, but not as good as last week's match. Good to Cena beat Taker again, although he didn't win clean.

No need to apologize :) Anyway, I recomend seeing the Ringu series: it doesn't cram all three movies into one like the American version.Quote:

Hey, Undertaker's in a new game...

Holy cow, I think this is the first time ever this thread WASN'T on the first page of Sound Off :sweat:
Pretty medoicre episode of RAW tonight, the Christian/Spike and Goldberg/Flair matches were watchable, but nothing great. Most of the segments were pretty stupid, except for the Storm/Molly/Golddust one, which was chuckleworthy.
Though I loved the way Orton played that blatantly biased officiating. Super slow counts = tEH fun! :lol:
yeah that last match was actually pretty entertaining. loved that sweet chin shot HBK delivered. sounded like he took ortons freaking head clear off.
Best use of Goldberg yet. Okay edition of Raw overall.
I got the Brock DVD today.
Impressions later...

Wait a minute...you mean she wasn't beating up men FOR REAL in the WWE? :lol:Quote:
Joanie Lauer In Hiding From Sean Waltman
Posted By Widro on 08.12.03
Fears for her life...
Celebrity Justice is reporting that Joanie Lauer (formerly Chyna) is in hiding from Sean Waltman (formerly X-Pac).
The story reported that on 08.01, she filed a restraining order against Waltman, after he had allegedly beaten her, put her in choke and nearly killed her in a fight.
Waltman apparently beat her throughout their relationship. He is said to have a history of threatening suicide and has a violent past.
Lauer's agent said she's disconnected all her phones, has moved, and is hdiing for fear of her life.
That's sad when you get your ass kicked by X-Pac.
Goldbergs match on RAW was actually really good. Could've done with a better Jackhammer, but Flairs old.
YEE-HAW!
Wow, I'm kinda surprised to learn that about Waltman, although not really too shocked, since his history of drug problems would lend itself towards violence. Poor Joanie.
From Pwtorch.com:
Damn, that sucks. I hope The Book's okay.Quote:
Booker T's back injury is considered serious and potentially career-ending.
I hope so too, but I won't be shedding any tears if he never wrestles again. He should do commentary instead of Lawler.
:(
Booker is my guy, that totally sucks.
I've really only been actively following rassilin for five or six years, but man, it's a rough ass business.
I don't know about that. He does good promos but I can't picture him being good doing commentary for 2 hours straight...Quote:

Yeah. What the fuck was Lawler doing two weeks ago? What the hell was he thinking? He was literally singling out Coach on air for no reason other then he wasn't his ass jockey out there.
I thought the Coach did a great job of hyping up the moment and has broadcasting talent. You can learn move names, talent is hard to come by.
God, WWE is getting so old. Enough is enough and it's time for a change. (Owen Hart)
Coach sucks. He called Gail Kim and Victoria men, for fuck's sake ("Trish is being assulted...by these two men!!" ). WWE will never seem "hip" again with nerds like him on the mic. Lawler's old. Heyman ruled on commentary.
Heyman was definitely the best commentator they've ever had, but WWE cares more about politics and tenure than what's really the best for the show. I remember that I was dying when he called Benoit "the undefeated WCW champion." He really knew how to get everyone over, and he made a lot of observations that really clarified what was going on in the ring that no other commentator had ever mentioned (like someone pinning someone else multiple times just to make them work to kick out and get tired, Undertaker getting lots of velocity from jumping off the ropes, etc).
Coach is really good at commentary, but I noticed he missed a lot of obvious clues and "traps" from Lawler. Lawler would say something that you knew Coach was supposed to respond to, but he just missed the clue and kept calling the match like normal. If he fixes that up, I think he'd be much better than JR and Lawler on his own.
Tazz and Cole are awesome now though.
Heyman said "GORE GORE GORE" everytime Ryhno gored somebody.
Isn't Al Snow doing commentary on one of the weekend shows now? I like Al Snow.
Too bad Joey Styles and the WWE never worked out a deal, he was one of my favorite play by play men. He actually called the matches and left out alot of other nonsense.
Yeah, but Joey's happy doing MLW stuff. He has said he had no desire to work for WWE once they told him that they like to "own" their announcers.
Smackdown has been totally fantastic the past few weeks - especially after Hogan departed. Even the bad stuff is watchable...hell, even Noble and Nidia got a monster pop tonight. The show does need another top face to run with Angle now, and lord I hope it's not Taker. Is it time for a Cena face turn?
RAW is okay, but the show should really be built around getting Orton over. I have no idea who's going to walk out of Summerslam with the belt.
I'm hoping Orton walks out with it. They could really hit a home run by giving him the world title right now. He's got an instant opponent for Unforgiven in HBK to defend against. Likewise, if HBK wins the title again, he's got an instant opponent.

I'd say capitalize on the face pops Eddy was gaining. That was mega-star pops. Something the WWE didn't WANT, but got anyway. That's money to be made and entertainment on the screen.Quote:

The Brock DVD is pretty cool, but I was hoping to see more of his stuff from when he first arrived in WWE (destroying the Hardy Boyz) and some more stuff from OVW, but it's still a recomended buy to any Brock fan.
I'd also like to give a shout out to Heyman being the best commentator in WWE history (2nd place being Vince, 3rd place being Shane, 4th place Ventura).
I think you made their day Korly.
Hey, RAWs on tonight.
Well those two are getting pushed fairly hard, and they should be consistent main eventers in a year, so I'm not worried about them. It's guys like Guerrero, Benoit and RVD that shouldn't be piddling around with the secondary belt and should've been main eventing a year ago.Quote:
Originally Posted by Dolemite

WWE thinks people only watch for the main eventers, but I can remember back in my "mark" days that I didn't give a shit for Stone Cold and the Rock and wanted to see Edge and some of the cool cruisers get a shot.
Jericho too, but he's been held in the midcard spot for so long that I forget about him until I see him on the TV.
The sad thing is that, by making these guys "pay their dues", the audience is already burned out on them by the time they get their shot. If they're hot with the crowds, fucking push them. Booker T was red-hot with the live crowds and was stuck in mid-card hell forever. Now he's getting a little push (well, not any more because of his injury) and the crowds don't care nearly as much as they did last year. Same with RVD, Edge, Benoit, etc.
I laugh when I hear talk about Taker claiming that new WWE guys should "show respect" and "pay their dues", meanwhile he was given a killer gimmick and pushed to the moon as a main eventer in his very first match in the WWE.
Exactly.
Also, 'paying your dues' is a broken race track. Like you said, by the time they've done it they're doomed to be held back because someone else WWE wanted to push is being lifted over their heads.
Brock Lesnar is an example of that. He's never going to be a huge star like Stone Cold, Hogan or The Rock because the fans didn't choose him, WWE chose him.
I like the way Raw ended. I actually want to see this PPV.
Taker paid his dues in WCW as Mark Callas. I remember the Skyscraper team with him and Danny Spivey, but I don't recall where he was before that. Yeah, he paid his dues, but the cream will always rise to the top regardless.Quote:

It's still treated as something special when Taker is pinned, that's saying something. Also, his name was Mark Callous in the NWA, not Callas.
Anyways, Raw kicked all sorts of ass tonight. Everything but the women's stuff and the La Resistance/Dudley Boyz/Ron Conway stuff was solid. I liked seeing the old-style pre-taped promo thing from Trish, it was a nice touch. Goldberg was made to look strong, and got more of a rub from Austin tonight than ever before. He is now being treated as a star on-air, and that CAN translate into him drawing decent money for the company.
I wouldn't say that. Brock is actually talented enough to carry himself and his push. It's only guys that can't keep up with their push that get eventually booed.Quote:
Originally Posted by Andrew

We never had a reason to like or hate Brock Lesnar. Or a reason to care. He just sort of marched in and I think 1 good fued would have done that for him. Screw the losing and paying your dues shit.
As of right now he'll never be as over as The Rock. Although now that he's a big heel and his big opponent is Angle as the protagonist, both Angle and Lesnar could be huge. Who knows?
Oh, and I thought RAW was terrible. The best thing they did was the main event and the RVD match was pretty good.
But it's so stupid. Nobody wanted him to burn RVD? How did this make it to air without being reshot? Bischoff can't act for shit. The directing on the SHIT and Hurricane scenes was so bad, but the concepts were pretty cool. I'm starting to like Rosey and the Hurricane team. Just make sure you don't turn Rosey heel for awhile. Let them create a repoire with one another before somebody turns.
Summerslam looks alright.
Albert vs. Taker and Dudleys vs. La Resistance look like the two bad matches on the card.
Man, are Austin's knees so bad that he still has to wear braces even through he doesn't wrestle anymore? He looks like Forrest Gump with those things on.
I love Brock.
lol. How about wearing some jeans also.Quote:

Smackdown was pretty good last night. Kurt Angle and Big Show put on a good match, and Zach Gowen got owned with that first chair shot from Brock. That was the nastiest looking chair shot I've seen on WWE TV in a few months. Although it was kind of strange how the cameras were poorly focussed or in black and white when they showed Zach Gowen busted open. The last time I remember seing that was when Brock Lesner ended Hulk Hogan's career.
Damn, Angle's coming back from major neck surgery? You couldn't tell it from his performance last night, he was off the charts. He also appears to be in he best shape of his career, he's ripped to shreads. Angle rules.
I just read that Nash will be in the new Punisher movie. For those of you wondering what movie it was going to be.
Dear god why?!? I hope he dies a horrible death in the movie :DQuote:

Did you see how long it took Kane to light a goddamn match? Sheez, no wonder people laugh at him.Quote:

That, and the cool little spiderman move that RVD did.
Coach just owned the entire show. Doing Play by Play while beating someone down? Classic.
Evil Coach rulz.
The ending of the Brock/Angle match was bullshit.
Wow, Angle made Brock tap. Bwa-ha-ha.
I missed the Coach turn, however. What exactly happened? And why should we care? Is he actually decent as a heel?
If you have to ask, you're already lost.Quote:

That main event was the biggest waste of time ever.....
Guess Trip's groin is still pretty bad considering that he did almost nothing in that match. I think he should have dropped the belt and taken some time off to heal his multiple injuries. He would have had a great excuse for losing it, fighting all those guys at once.
there...thats better :)Quote:

I was late to the PPV tonight, but I only missed the first two matches which weren't much (La Resistance/Dudleys & Taker/A-Train).
The Evil Coach heel turn really took me by suprise, and it's been a long-ass time since the WWE suprised me like that. The guy showed more charisma than I've ever seen him display before. I hope they stick him on either Smackdown or Raw's commentary to see if he continues to fly as a heel. Haven't had a good heel announcer since Heyman. :evil:
The Fatal Four-Way and Brock/Angle matches were very good, but the crowd was just dead for the former. A shame because Benoit/Guerrero/Tajiri/Rhyno put on a pretty good show. Lesnar/Angle started out with some really great mat wrestling and old-school psychology, then it REALLY slowed down at some points (perhaps too much so), but the last 1/3 of it was really hot. Brock sold that ankle lock like crazy :)
And the Main Event....ugh...honestly, what the hell was the point of having Goldberg kill Michaels, Orton, and Jericho like that if it was just gonna end with HHH nailing him with a sledgehammer and getting the pin? That made no logical sense on any level whatsoever. HHH is injured and he really needed to rest that groin and go away for awhile, and they really needed a new champ on top, that ending was absurd.
Man, the crowd in Phoenix and in the place I was watching at went absolutely ape shit when Goldberg destroyed Shawn, Chris, and Randy and kicked in that door to Trips that Flair was holding shut. Seriously, even I was marking out and I'm not even a fan of Goldberg! Then HHH nailed him with that sledge and pinned him and the crowd in Phoenix and where I was just absolutely went dead. It's moronic booking like this that keeps the WWE from pulling out of the rut it's in, pissing off and aggravating the fans with BS finishes like that. :mad:
I like HHH and even I have to say he should have dropped the fucking belt. Enough already.
I'm glad I didn't get the PPV now. All that shit with the Elimination Chamber for a predicatble finish?
HHH could be in a wheelchair and blind and they'll still find some way to have him keep the belt. I guess being champ helps when you're looking for roles in Hollywood. :rolleyes:
That was a good PPV.
The crowd seemed to be hot, the wrestlers seemed to be on. The only matches that were a bit out of place were the Dudleys vs. La Resistance, simply because it's a RAW match.
Evil Coach was amazing. He did a great job of imitating Ross and making fun of him. ("SHANE MCMAHON!!! SHANE MCMAHON!!! SHANE MCMAHONE!!!") You missed a fun segment, Dolemite. Couch wasn't 'physically' provoking Austin by putting his hand close to his face but not touching him when an injured McMahon shoved Coach from behind, making him bump in to Austin. (physically provoking him))
Good stuff. Well wrtten (surprisingly).
The Chamber match was weird, but not too bad. They booked Goldberg exactly how he was supposed to be: A monster. He pinned Orton, HBK and Jericho (in that order) almost immediatly in a row. But it wasn't like they hadn't been beating the living shit out of one another for like 15 minutes before it happened.
Angle - Lesnar was good. How was it a bullshit ending? It was clean. It made Angle seem like a worthy champion.
Kane - RVD was a little bit bland but it had its moments (although some screwups) and was genuinly entertaining.
Overall, it was worth my money, I think.
I'm thinkin' Bischoff will give it to him. He'd make a great edition and was awesome tonight at the PPV. They need SOMETHING with them on the headset. They bicker so much.Quote:

The only reason I didn't like the finish of Brock/Angle is because the ref blatantly disregarded the rules. If you make it to the ropes, your opponent has to break the hold. And Brock made it to the ropes on 3 different sides of the ring, but the ref did nothing.
I wonder where WWE goes from here...
Heh, thanks for the recap Andrew. :)Quote:

First time in a while.
I'm just curious, dunno about excited. But like you said I wanna see where they go.
That was an...ummm....interesting episode of Raw tonight.
Not much on the wrestling front, as usual, Orton/Maven and Jericho/Shane were at least watchable, but still nothing much. As usual, way, WAY too many McMahon crap. If Steph wasn't "bound" to Smackdown right now wouldn't be suprised if she showed up as well. Really annoying.
Coach continues to rock the house as heel commentator, it's amazing how natural it seems to come to him as opposed to how ridiculously bland he'd been as a face commentator ala Michael Cole. And his justifications for going heel made sense too, glad they did something with JR glowering him off the show a few weeks ago and they really go somewhere with this angle.
And the ending with Shane kicking Kane into that flaming dumpster ended up being one of those "so-stupid-it-goes-180-degrees-and-becomes-awesome-again" things. :lol: I wonder if their using it as an excuse to bring back masked and "burned" Kane again? I thought his original outfit, which covered his entire body, was the best he ever had, and now they'd have a legit excuse to drag it out of the closet again.
I liked Raw tonight. It wasn't a great show for wrestling, but it was fantastic for storyline, and potentially, character development.
well if we get the old kane back does that mean he'd use the voicebox again :P
I thought the ending of RAW was awesome.
Love the sig Rag.
Definitely a good episode of RAW tonight. Everything seemed to be done for a reason. There were some fun moments and the ending had impact.
Shane McMahon is awesome on camera. He goes above and beyond and gives the fans a legitimate reason to want to see him. Kane with a smaller mask, same haircut or something like that would be great.
But one thing is for sure: I want to see RAW next week. That's for sure.
Cool, Kane is dead.
And Shane was fine last night, but you have to question the logic of pushing someone so heavily that doesn't work any house shows. Everyone loves Shane's crazy bumps but they forget that he isn't on the road over 200 nights a year wrestling all the time and has planty of time to heal up. RVD should have gotten the push against Kane that Shane's getting.
you complain too much pimp. be happy that theres a semi-entertaining part of raw now :)
Raw was kind of odd... entertaining, but not because of the wrestling itself.
I didn't mind the McMahon spanish soap opera bit, but it just ran on too long.
Heel Coach+JR commentating=GOLD!
I don't complain too much, Dyne. At least, I don't think I do. :) For the most part, I enjoyed Raw last night.
who am i to say tho.....i didnt even watch it. i figured the ppv was bad enough.
And you say I complain too much...
You're absolutely right. The only problem is that RVD wrestles the same match every night and instead of saying "Burn in Hell, You Son of a Bitch!" He'd say something like: "Wow, it's cool!"Quote:

Hey, I like RVD because he's entertaining. But he really needs to learn mat wrestling and how to not rely on crazy spots all the time. It would help him a lot.

Yeah, you're right, RVD really could learn a thing or two from Shane and his amazing repertoire of movies that consist of...hmm...punches...um, more punches...dancing pretty...oh, and jumping through announce tables. And let's not forget stealing the Van Terminiator, either. That Shane is a wrestling marvel.Quote:

I don't agree with RVD's current style, or the writers for that matter. Thing with RVD was to come into the ring and sell the same F*ing moves match after match after F*ing match and it's really time he either talked to vince about adding a little something else to his style, or go rouge and do things his own way.
Silver-spoon boy really has a lucky card don't he? Sure he's hardcore, but if he's gonna wrestle, he better be part of the team rather then just showing up whenever the writers feel they have a spot for him. Its not like you're ever gonna see him do a dark match outside of airtime you know.
And if I see stone cold do another stunner without doing a match, I'm gonna ask somebody on the net to chuck a beer at him. :evil:
Dolemite:
I'm not comparing him to Shane McMahon and I'm certainly not saying Shane is better than RVD. I'm saying RVD, as a whole, needs to learn mat wrestling and work it into his repetoire.
Shane McMahon shouldn't of been in the main event. But at the same time, the Kane segment wouldn't of made as good an impact.
Are you sure WWE writes what they say? Even when he says lines other then "Cool!" he sounds like he's reading from a queue card or something.
Don't get me wrong, I like RVD. I just don't think he has what it takes to be headlining a show.
Really really good smackdown tonight. A good main event and a good U.S. TItle match. They seem to be booking Eddy right.
Im kind of dissapointed that Undertaker won last night, but when you think about it there really isn't anyone else to push in the main event scene. Both Big Show and Brock have had at least two title matches recentlly, so it makes sense that Taker gets the next shot.
Smackdown really needs another main eventer though, because I'm getting tired of the same four guys fighting for the belt month after month.
Fuckin' football pre-empted Smackdown. Read the recap on the PWTorch site, however...sounded good.
Kill the beat
Yo. Look at all the familiar faces
Hey man, that’s like the first boyfriend you cheated on. He let’s you touch all 4 bases
And after you spent the night together, you couldn’t walk right
Started with dinner and a movie, ended up watching a cockfight
Yo. You don’t belong here. I heard about that green card you stole
You better start running south before I call border patrol
You know what? I’m looking at this picture and there’s something that’s not fittin’ in
You got the U.S. title and you’re not even a citizen
Go ahead, get deported. For me that’s not a set back
I’ll beat you in the Gulf of Mexico and leave you with a broken wetback
I’ll have to punk you out in front of your family here in El Paso
Break you open like a piñata, stick my foot up your a------!
John Cena rules.
Well if you saw the huge reaction for Eddy last night, I think he'll actually be in the main event if it keeps up.
His promos and his match with Cena were awesome.
I read the re-cap of Smackdown, and I wish I had seen the huge reaction Eddy got for myself. I've always thought the guy had the talent and charisma to be a top guy. I hope he gets pushed to the moon. He deserves it.
Man, if Ric Flair starts wearing this piece of shit to the ring, I'll throw up. The vast majority of WWE's shirts look like they were designed by a retarded 3-year-old.
http://wweeuroshop.com/images/prodpics/big/51101.jpg
That's fucking awesome (only because it doesn't stop for a long time) But it's awesome.
Eddy got a huge reaction, and what's more is that they actually BOOKED him to recieve it. He rolled up in his shiek car, and the audience went nuts THEN. But then he entered through the front door and low fived some guy with an NWO Wolfpac shirt on. And he went from the top of the stairs down to the ring and the crowd was going nuts.
Then he had an awesome promo with Cena and at the end he stole Cena's jersey and visor and mocked him. Cena charged the ring (he was behind the ring, opposite side of the aisleway after being tossed out in the initial scuffle by Eddy) again and was tossed out once again.
The match was amazing too. Eddy pulled his typical cheating style. At one point he put a tire in the ring (Cena stole his tires earlier while he wasn't looking) and the ref was having a hard time rolling it out of the ring (he actually tried to lift it). Eddy got a chair during the distraction and whacked Cena.
The crowd went nuts. I love his antics.
SmackDown kicked ass thanks to Eddie and Cena. The titles actually have some importance on SD, although the lack of Haas and Benjamin was a downer. Flair's dressing like he did during WCW's dying days. The more Hawaiian shirts, the better. All he needs to do now is gain 70 lbs., grow a beard, put some rubber bands in it, and he could be Captain Lou Albano.
:lol: now that's a good reason I should be a fan of cena.Quote:

I feel bad for Kanyon, he's working dark matches and house shows under his old Mortis gimmick. The WWE sure dropped the ball with this guy.
Oh don't forget it's Evil Coach vs King tonight on Raw, sure to be a classic.
My college FINALLY updated the cable, and I hear we finally have TNN/Spike TV, so I may actually be able to watch RAW now. Too bad it's much too late for me to really care, I'll probably still pass on it most of the time (possibly flip between commercials of something else). It is definitely a shame with Kanyon, but most people I talk to seem to hate him for some reason.
I didn't know they picked him up yet. So if that's all they're giving him, is there some way he can show up on weekend matches, like velocity?Quote:
Originally Posted by Korian

He was a part of the Invasion angle... he was the MVP of Invasion, even. :) He disappeared for a while, came back as a "gift" for Undertaker and came out singing Boy George and got beat up. He showed up a couple times afterwards, but not much. It's quite sad. Mortis was stupid and won't work now, esp. since the whole "fantasy" characters thing is pretty much over with the exception of Kane (although I dunno what's up with him now).
Kane I think bridges the gap so his role makes a lot of sense.
I liked the Mortis gimmick better when he wasn't WWF, but right now it's just plain stupid. Don't they know it's a good idea to fall back on smaller talent rather then to keep pushing mid-card and up all the time? Heck they get injured so much, I don't see why they don't just group together for a lawsuit or something.
Well, because of all the packing and errands I had to run over the weekend I haven't had a chance to watch taped Smackdown till today. Bah! :(
Anyways, I pretty much agree across the board with what everyone's said so far. Great Cena/Guerrero stuff. Ridiculously awesome promo they cut to lead up to the show. If their gonna start shows with promos, THAT'S the kind of stuff they should be churning out there, NOT McMahons.
And Nunzio/Mysterio actually put on a pretty entertaining match too. They may actually have something with Nunzio as a Cruiserweight, he seems to be pretty comftorable in those types of matches.
Suprisingly good main event too between Lesnar/Show/Taker. At least Show and Taker can still put on good matches if they put enough effort into it. I give Brock mucho props for doing the job but I think in this case it was the wrong thing to do.
They've taken Show about as far as he'll go as a heel and I don't think he could possibly get anymore heat if they wanted him too. But their still re-building Brock as the show's new monster heel and jobbing him clean TWO matches straight is not the way to do that. His tapping clean to Angle at Summerslam was the right thing to do and did a lot to get over Angle as a big face champion, but since he dominated most of the match, he retained his heat.
But having him get pinned clean by Undertaker probably hurts him now. Really don't see why they couldn't have just let Taker pin Show instead.
Ah well, I'm probably blowing things out of proportion, I'm sure Lesnar will come out this week and destroy somebody and be the unstoppable monster we all know and love :)
