Without the draft, some superstars as Benoit, Guerrero or JBL (I hate this guy) would never had been able to become champ, and several of the new talented wrestlers as Orton or Cena would have been probably not yet pushed... The draft wasn't a good idea, but it was necessary, according to me... And it's necessary yet, I don't want a new merge of SD and Raw, this would be stupid...

Maybe you should make a phone call to Vince McMahon because I agree with everything you just said (except for Nunzio, I happen to like the guy).

It's official, Billy Gunn just signed with TNA. But WWE still have rights to use the name Billy Gunn, so he will probably have a different name. It's likely that they will do a New Age Outlaw gimmick again with BG James.

I think Nick Dinsmore is great, but he need an other gimmick : Eugene is funny, but with this gimick, he won't progress and win important belts like IC or HW...

There are definatelly a few that I want to see go:

1)Gene Shitninzky (crap is all I can say)
2)Heidenreich (also crap, hope Taker kills him at SS)
3)Chris Nowinski (why keep a guy who can't wrestle any more, and who never could wrestle in the first place?)
4)S2H (without Rikishi he's goin' nowhere)
5)Maven (I just can't stand him)
6)Hurricane (bloody gimmik got old before it started) and while they're at it,
7)Rosey (he can go to TNA and re-team with Jamal)

LOL, this shit with the tough enough kid putting Angle into the keylock is hilarious. I love Angle, he's one of the best (dispite his recent backstage evil), but damn it's still pretty funny that a tough enough newbie made the olympic gold medallist and former Undisputed champion tap out. The bastard sure has my vote.

Personally I like Hurricane the wrestler, but not Hurricane the gimmick.

I think he has talent in most areas, interviews, mic skills, and ring skills, I just would like to see him lose the mask and cape.

Happy 3000th Post

Can't wait to see Hall and Nash tomorrow night at Victory Road.

DAMN!3000 posts,100 pages,and no closure.Great stuff.

On a side not,I wonder who will be released next.Also,looking forward to Victory Road,should be great.

I was just reading a wrestling site, and it talk about HHH being the blame for some Wrestlers release, like Test!!

If this is the case I hope they get rid of HHH

He makes about 7 figure , he HARDLY wrestle. he can't westle like he use to!!! If they need a bugdet cut, cut HHH!!! I mean HHH was great in the Attiude era, but now, he just sucks!! He not going to defend the title this PPV !! A lot of people don't like JBL but he does defend his title!

Is it confirmed Nash and Hall were going to be at the Road To Victory ppv? I read they pulled out at the last second..

Yes I'm sure they are. They have been cutting promos on Impact for the last couple weeks.

Reading the TNA Victory Road card.

I wonder if TNA has the balls to have Jeff Hardy win the World title. Just imagine. Jeff Hardy, a World Champion. thats just so awkward.

I wouldn't be surpised if 4 month from now. the next NWA World Champion is Billy Gunn.

WTF?! 0_0 When did this happen?

Edit: never mind, amazing what a little reading can do lol. Though I didn't remember the Key, only the guard and take down nerfs....damn I'm a noob. -_-

we don't get smackdown Vs Raw until the 19th of Nov....that sucks that the US have it aready...ah well.

After a 3 week absence I did watch raw and a bit of smackdown this week. Simon Dean looks like a flop....anyone agree.

And if HHH gets his way I'm sure that his team will win that match at survivor series....which I won't get to see...

Am I the only one loving Simon Dean? He's hilarious, he looks great, and with his experience and past I'm sure he can wrestle decently. I can't wait to see him in action!

That was a damn funny post.
Triple H is kind of... well.... unsackable... you know, being the *heir* to the WWE empire and all...

After watching bottomline yesterday. I thought his segment was hillarious. ripping on that one chick. and that guy Matt. and he actually got alot of heat from the crowd. I think he'll be staying around for a while.

Damn, 3000 posts and counting. There were times I didn't think this thread was going to do it. Thanks to everyone who helped make this thread popular.

- Trinity issues an open challenge.

This looks like it will be a great first ppv effort for TNA! I vote Dusty as DOA, what about everyone else?

And JBL as WWE Champion isn't awkward? TNA is an entirely different wrestling federation. Jeff Jarret and Jeff Hardy are great athletes, but the WWE chose to use them as mid-carders or at most Tag champions.

P.S. Has anyone noticed that none of the people being released by the WWE are big (except A-Train)? It seems the WWE are just getting more big, muscular, (very likely) steroid enhanced wrestlers instead of quality ones that are over with the crowd. Just look at Tyson Tomko, Heidenreich, and Gene Shitzy.

Yah, WWE has that "image" they try to adheer to...kind of lame. I'm worried about this muslim angle that is going to be played out. I hope WWE uses some tact with this and is carefull....but I doubt it. If something really shitty happens I will be strictly TNA and indies. Meh.

I've noticed the corelation between the big guys and the guys that are being cut myself. Apparently, size, along with the "mean" look, are more important than anything else. It seems to be storylines over talent (God only knows what for though. Ratings? I think maybe if you didn't let the better half of your roster go, you'd have better ratings). I would think though, that if the WWE is going to go the complete soap opera way, they'd at least get good writers. Well I dunno, maybe they did have at one point, and they were fired because they wern't two meter tall, tatoo covered ex-cons or something. I wouldn't past the WWE to let Michaels go too, simply due to him not being "big", and him being injured.

On a side note, I still can't believe how much Rey has bulked up since joining the WWE.

Sorry if Im late on this topic.My PC messed up last week.I had to reset everything and I had to find the Product Key.Luckily I found it in my closet.I thought I would never be back online.

Has anyone played SVR?

That has to be the best SMACKDOWN game PERIOD.I always thought the SD games were crappy(Except SD 1).But...This game OWNZ.Even though it borrows DOR's Soundtrack(I've noticed that with SD:Shut Your Mouth and Wrestlemania also).I like playing in Single Mode.I don't really like the other modes except Royal Rumble.It reminds me of the old Royal Rumble games on SNES and Sega.I like the new Side view also.I hated everything about the other SD games.The sound effects have finally changed.They don't have that "Lite" feeling any more.10/10.I've been begging my cousin about making a belt but he won't let me do it.I want to bring back the TRUE WWE Belt.And that belt is "The World Wrestling Entertainment Title"Forget all of those Heavyweight belts from WCW.

There was a good show on A&E about Andre The Giant last Friday.I only caught the last few minutes of it though(His last fight and appearance in the WWF).They had a HUGE WWE Logo on everything that said WWF including the old WWF logo.It dosen't look right looking at old clips with the WWE logo on them.

Has anyone seen the new WWE.com website?

I think it looks awesome. and I think the Raw/SmackDown! Superstars page looks much better. It actually tells you who the current Champions are.

New WWE.com is sweet.Love the new layout and everything plus...

FUNAKI! smackdown,#1 announcer has an interview with Torrie.I hope they dont get rid of him.Kenzo is wierd though.

Very nice layout though,whoever made it made it right.
