The streak is more important than micks career

This one statement may make me hate the streak more than I ever have. The streak is a booked series of wins at a PPV. No where near as important as Mick Foley's entire body of work and the legacy he's created.

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

That's long and short of it. I also added another reason to the unpopular opinion thread.

Let's try to get this thread back to WWE Tidbits.

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

Choosing to book Undertaker's streak to a close isn't fucking up a big situation. Here we are near 2012 and Undertaker hasn't been seen since last Wrestlemania. There's nothing WWE could do to make his match, whatever match he'll be in, seem in anyway big. Especially if we go with the notion he has to win. Yawn.

For the record I wouldn't go with any one of those options. I'd go with a classic; Undertaker came so close to achieving his goal of 20 straight wins but got stopped by a rising up and comer. Undertaker passes the torch to the new blood. Forging a path for a new generation of talent to continue in his legacy and possibly surpass him. That's just me.

Eh. I'm not a fan of the streak either and I agree with your way but......idk. I guess closing it isn't a bad decision.

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

I always thought that the perfect moment to end the streak was back when Orton was rising with the "Legend Killer" gimmick... Taker lose in Wrestlemania, the "Legend" got Killed by "The Legend Killer", Orton is set... Taker takes his time away, Orton brags about it and it all ends in a Hell in a Cell Match.

We all know how that story went.... and Orton got set anyways so...

Normally I don't sink down to your level of stupidity but I couldn't resist popping in and saying you have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. To put a fake "streak" over the measured importance of an actual worker is the silliest thing you've come up with yet. Go back to Foley's early work in WCW with Kevin Sullivan and you'll see the template for every WCW/ECW/WWE garbage hardcore match born in their feud with the Nasty Boys. Not enough? Go to ECW and watch Foley redefine the art of the promo with "Cane Dewey". Want more? Go to WWF and watch Foley help legitimize The Undertaker in matches like the Boiler Room Brawl while also managing to put on an instant classic with HBK regardless of their totally different styles. Oh yeah, and that dude that raises the eyebrow and makes the fans go crazy? Foley basically made him too, so until you actually know what you are talking about, I'd appreciate it if you'd refrain from making pathetic statements like the one above.

Thank you and good night.

Oh thanks for calling me stupid. I meant the streak was more important than micks retirement match not his whole career

Then you should have worded it like that.

Even that statement needs to be addressed. If Undertaker loses, he still has a decade of legacy. One loss isn't more imortant than Foley hanging up his boots and passing the torch. Which BTW is why I brought it up, I think he should lose at 'Mania, pass the torch and retire.

And I tots agree Orton should have ended it at 21.

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

In other things... I've read that the WWE is planning on inducting Carlos Colón to the Hall of Fame in 2012.... Carlos is the father of Carlito, Primo and the uncle of Epico and in Puerto Rico he's considered the biggest wrestler ever (not my opinion).

He also has a very good business relationship with WWE as he promotes the shows they give in Puerto Rico and everything they do in the Dominican Republic.

Toughts on it?

Re: WWE Tidbits & Rumours Thread

Wouldn't be against it by any means. Dunno if it would be Carlos in 2012 though, they already have Mil Masceras going in this year, that may be it for the latin-american demographic this year.
