  1. Who's filling in for Lawler at NOC

    Or the WWE could turn to one of their current wrestlers, a guy that they think speaks eloquently and can add some color commentary. I think Jim Ross could work well against Cole's heel gimmick. But I don't think that's really what they need. Jim Ross is a great broadcaster, but I see him...
  2. BREAKING NEWS: Jerry Lawler in Montreal

    They're both very generic announcers. The only way that Cole ever really got past that was when he got booked in angles where he became a dick head character. Matthew is pretty much what Cole was about 3 years ago, before the personality implant. Heck, he's even become the target of...
  3. BREAKING NEWS: Jerry Lawler in Montreal

    So basically, you want Michael Cole and Michael Cole light.
  4. BREAKING NEWS: Jerry Lawler in Montreal

    Why would Josh Matthews be any better than Lawler at the broadcast role? Matthews isn't exactly an amazing broadcaster, and has mostly lacked for any sense of personality.
  5. Heyman news

    Of all the people who could possibly use a manager, Punk is probably last on that list unless they wish to go the Brock route of him appearing less on TV to give him and his title run a longer shelf life. When you use someone like Heyman as a manager, you want him speaking. Problem is, any...
  6. NFL 2013/14 Offseason Thread

    Re: NFL Thread: 2012 Preseason Lolz Chargers. Paid Gaither a nice fat contract and hasn't practiced since July. With him and Hardwick out for now, I don't expect Philips to get much protection. Ryan Matthews is injured again, broken collarbone this time, no surprise. So running the ball...
  7. WWE Releases A Raw Superstar?, Profile Moved To Alumni Section

    To use a tired, but true cliche, "quoted for truth". I get that the WWE likes to own their characters and will often saddle veteran talent with a WWE-created gimmick and name so that they own the guy. It's nothing new though, Vince has been doing this for decades. Every job has its share...
  8. WWE Called The “Biggest Bully On The Blockâ€￾, Ripped For Mocking J.R. On TV

    Lolz. Yeah, okay, a dumb shit comedy segment is the same as violating labor laws via sexual harassment.
  9. WWE needs to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone

    Vader got a bit of a pop, so I expect Warrior would get some reaction. I don't know how many would actually know who he is or would even really care other than giving a nice nostalgia pop. I suspect he'd get his fair share of boos from some of the more "smarky" parts of the crowd for lack of...
  10. Its Time For Retirement

    I don't know about retiring, though I think he's close to that age where he's likely considering it soon. But I think the WWE is better with him in it. I don't necessarily see him as ever being the guy. If the title is ever put on him, it should be to enhance someone else's run. What is...
  11. Tammy (Sunny) Sytch to start Facebook group for addicts

    some bitches live on FB. So they can get txts of spprt bk rt! More likely, they'll get trolled. "do it! 8ball 4 the win, bish"
  12. Linda McMahon ripped to pieces by Connecticut democrats

    Lolz at that money being all Vince's. They're married, it's community property. They were married when it was but a regional promotion and both built it into something huge. She actually worked for years as an executive in the company, remember? Talk about sexist. They earned the...
  13. WWE Called The “Biggest Bully On The Blockâ€￾, Ripped For Mocking J.R. On TV

    And you still don't get it. Is Vince fired by his employer as a result of what he chooses to do with his own company? No, he owns the damn thing. AW does not get to do it because he doesn't sign the checks, he doesn't own the company, he was a mere employee paid to do a job. Vince, like...
  14. WWE needs to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone

    Hogan did? Hogan is an example of charisma over ring ability catapaulting a man to success in wrestling. The guy was not a great wrestler by any stretch of the imagination. He could put on entertaining enough matches, but nothing any more special than what Cena does. In terms of promos...
  15. More info on 2013 WWE HOF

    I don't know about this business of the WWE Hall of Fame having any wings. I know what you're getting at. But it's hard to think of it in such terms when it's a total work on top of a work. It's a marketing tool that gets used once a year, helps market certain deals such as when they got WCCW...
  16. More info on 2013 WWE HOF

    Edge had a really good run when he moved to Smackdown and became one of the main players you can revolve the show's title program around. While he wasn't as big as Cena was, he was still a guy they built a show around for a good run. Dibiase doesn't get the same stature in my view. The WWF...
  17. WWE needs to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone

    Point is Cena is one of the WWE's most commercially successful guys in a long time. There was a story a couple years ago talking about how Austin was the all time leader in terms of merchandise sales. Hogan used to be second, but Cena had passed him on the ladder. Additionally, Cena headlined...
  18. WWE needs to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone

    That's wrestling promotion in a nut shell though. Everyone is overhyped. HBK's stature as being described as "the greatest superstar of all time" is largely marketing and hype. He was never the big attraction that made the business boom. He was part of the successes, but he was the top guy...
  19. WWE needs to leave the Ultimate Warrior alone

    I'm not sure I'd put HBK on that list of all time greats. If you put HBK there, then you can put Ultimate Warrior on that list. HBK had longevity and he had a lot of great matches. But as far as being the most over guy on the roster, that was never really his strength. He was like a Sting...
  20. JTG and Lower Carders Upset with WM Payoffs

    I'm not really sure whether to look at that negatively. It's not like the guy got much TV time on RAW since the Cryme Tyme tag team broke up. He was certainly squashed, but still got on TV where he wasn't at all before that. Maybe it's some sort of weird PR on their part in some form, to try...
