  1. Being Stiff in the Ring: Why?

    The answer is obvious as to why, the wrestlers who work stiff want to shake the "it's fake" stigma. Hansen said as much because he was virtually blind and didn't want his matches to look fake and wanted to reward the fans who paid to see him deliver a physical match. Whether those wrestlers are...
  2. Does Miz already look weak as WWE Champion?

    As far as Miz goes, if a guy is pretty much losing to a 60 year old announcer "ONE WEEK IN", that nobody can take him seriously FIVE WEEKS IN. Smarks will because they look at having to book everything and are generally jaded about things that actually happen in the kayfabe reality. Using logic...
  3. Does Miz already look weak as WWE Champion?

    Sheamus is the Swagger of Raw until Trips comes back to save him from midcard hell. What you, me or whoever thinks of him or WWE doesn't matter. The reality is he's losing to a nobody like Morrison when if he actually had some cred, he'd be in a real program against either a main eventer like...
  4. Does Miz already look weak as WWE Champion?

    Sheamus could have been in just as good/if not better a position now without ever being booked weak though. In fact he would be a top heel on Raw if he wasn't booked as such a chump. Plus Raw's so weak on heels and Sheamus is barely in the top 3. He could have been a real monster, that could...
  5. MVP Released

    But in the end, you have a good point, maybe things would be different if he was booked better. But honestly, I don't think so. Lazy, unmotivated, jaded, it's all pretty much the same. MVP's talent isn't worthy of having a funeral over, when as mentioned before, there have been guys that were...
  6. MVP Released

    Monty: There's something to be said for WWE screwing him and holding him back, but still that drove him to the point of not caring anymore. (I know i've said similar things before about, Shelton in WWE, and I was a big fan.) And nobody's arguing it's harder to be face than heel, but MVP was just...
  7. Does Miz already look weak as WWE Champion?

    James is totally right, having a weak champion devalues not only the title, but the entire company, and almost never works out for the best. To those saying Sheamus benefited from his title reign so much, How is feuding with Santino and JoMo and winning a meaningless KOTR is better off than...
  8. BTB Casual Talk Thread

    No, we're in the "BTB is dead" phase. D: But I don't care! I was working on doing my thing in BTB again, and when my computer gets fixed i've written stuff to December and really hit my stride in terms of typing stuff up faster so I guarantee at some point DWA will push through! Yeah, i'm super...
  9. Mortal Kombat 9 (and website countdown)

    I just loved fighting with Mavado due to awesome combos. The rope things he had were pretty freakin' stupid though. Plus Kabal was super lame I thought, so giving the hookswords to someone cooler was all good to me.
  10. Mortal Kombat 9 (and website countdown)

    Mavado and Kenshi were pretty much the only good characters past DA imo. The rest were largely unnecessary, especially chumps like Darrius and Daigon. Thoughts on MK9: I hope create a character from Armageddon is back. I'm glad they're putting more of an emphasis on story mode, since the...
  11. WWE releases 5 more wrestlers

    What fair comparisons? Jericho can't draw either if that's what you're on about, but he can put on matches and work the crowd to at least create interest around his storylines and title reigns. Orton on the other hand has had 3 stinkers with one of the MVPs of 2010 in Sheamus, has had crowd...
  12. Cole/King want JR back

    I used to think JR was super overrated...then they started this ridiculous Cole crap and JR was commentating again next to him...yeah, I admit I was wrong not to see JR as an amazing commentator. They need him desperately back, but anybody besides Cole would do, honestly. But even if not that...
  13. MVP Released

    Bullshit, MVP wasn't anything special anymore. When he first debuted, he cut some great promos that set up some solid matches with Matt and Benoit, but anybody could have good matches with those guys at that time. MVP teetered off and got lazy and seemed unhappy anyway. Not to mention there's a...
  14. IWF's top 50 Wrestling Superstars of All Time

    I've always ranked Malenko higher than his Radicalz buddies, (As evidenced by my list, ha ha) although fuck that James Bond pimp gimmick in WWE! It may have been entertaining and fun, but I wanted the Ice Man at that time, not a comedy character to be stuck in lower card lingo feuding with...
  15. So, who's winning the Rumble this year?

    Sheamus turning face would actually be good. His good guy badass character in FCW was super awesome. ...But him turning face with a Triple H feud left unresolved would be asinine, especially with him winning the KOTR.
  16. WWE releases 5 more wrestlers

    Just to summarize because there are wrestlers who aren't the "total package" that should be kept on the roster. Orton shouldn't be employed by WWE because: 1. He will never make money as a main eventer, and will get pushed that way by the writers/bookers. 2. Likes TNA. - The rest are...
  17. WWE releases 5 more wrestlers

    Jericho's not a good draw on his own, and quite frankly at the end of his run his ring work and promos were WAY overhyped, he's about the same level of Matt Hardy, and Jericho got sucked off for it. But he's already gone so meh. Plus, at least Jericho can get other people over via the cheap heat...
  18. WWE releases 5 more wrestlers

    But that's the thing, Orton doesn't move merch. The ratings drop every time he's champion (only to be minorly redeemed by an intriguing angle, such as Cena joining Nexus) the PPV buy-rates don't improve (Not his fault, but if he was as great as everyone says he is, you'd they'd get a small...
  19. So, who's winning the Rumble this year?

    Shelton Benjamin makes his epic return and wins the Royal Rumble, book it. It will probably be so telegraphed by the time the Rumble comes, there won't be any doubt of who'll win.
  20. IWF Debate League Sign-Up

    Well, maybe there should be two leagues/brackets/threads/whatever, Block A featuring wrestling debates, Block B featuring non-wrestling. :/
