  1. I think some guys get signed to Sting and Hogan like promotional deals so that WWE can release some more DVD's. Outside of that nobody has any real value to the roster. They are focused on NXT as a development territory and promoting movies for part time guys.
  2. With special guest referee Shane Douglas! I see Tommy as more of the real franchise of ECW. He seemed more like the franchise player of a "real" sports team; tough formative rookie years where he had to prove himself to the jaded fans, also he was around for the glory days would get his points but didnt mind sitting on the bench and letting the Stars getting in their minutes and on the highlight reels but he was the one who there until the bitter end still contributing showing up everyday even when the writing was on the wall. Douglas is more like Lebron to me he was the franchise but got increasingly more disillusioned and left at the first chance at a real opportunity, twice. Tommy reminds me of the guy on the third or fourth line of an NHL team that never gets the accolades for most of his career but does all of the dirty work. If Paul E. ever needed someone to put over a new guy or work a story and put someone over Tommy was that guy. Never the most talented but put his heart out there and loved the business doing whatever needed to be done for the card to succeed including putting up his pickup truck as collateral if I remember one of the old ECW stories correctly.
  3. I am not sure if I should be excited or fearful that they rehash the Sting vs. NWO with The Authority taking the place of the NWO. Chances are it gets him a Summerslam send off match.
  4. So who does she get squashed by on Monday night?
  5. They are doing a good job backpedaling. The URL with the firing notice has a redirect on it so the story has completely disappeared.
  6. Now she is apparently back. Can someone explain just what is going over at WWE HQ? Upon further evaluation, WWE has reinstated Tenille Dashwood (WWE Diva Emma) but will take appropriate punitive action for her violation of the law. http://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-reinstates-emma-26450666
  7. More about lazy writing and swerves for the sake of swerves which punctuated Russo's tenure everywhere. They devalued the US and Intercontinental Titles and the main title is now in limbo. Of course ignoring the main title means the focus of the show shifts more towards HHH. It feels like the WWE is rudderless right now.
  8. Why does the writing feel like the WWE has hired Russo again? It feels like lazy writing with swerves for the sake of swerves. Is there a belt that means anything nowadays? When Rollins turned my first thought was 'is Russo writing this?'
  9. Just about to post Sheik's video. WTF just happened. I feel like all of the life is sucked out of me.
  10. The problem started in the tag division where all of the cool tag teams were heels. People love the SHIELD and Wyatt gimmicks. It is more a testament to the wrestlers doing their gimmicks so well that you want to cheer for them.
  11. From start to finish it was perfectly booked. They pulled off a perfect Tyson-Douglas with Paige and AJ. Paul Heyman just owned the entire show tonight. He cut an amazing heel promo and had everyone eating out of his hand. Then he comes out later, turns face, and just owns the audience a second time. It takes a special talent to do what he did on the mic tonight. Paul clutching the Andre trophy during the match was pure gold. I am back watching again because of tonight.
  12. What about the BWO? No gimmick had a right getting over as much as the BWO. They were a hilarious parody of the NWO that they deserve some love.
  13. Is part of the problem that if you're too good of a heel nowadays, the fan's are going to start cheering for you. Yet, those same qualities that got you over get neutered when you turn face because you have to pander to the fans.That was the problem with the Shield and Wyatt's. They were just too good at being a heel they crossed the line to face in the eyes of the crowd. Part of that problem is having weak faces to match up against. Who are the strong face teams to give the heels a run?The Uso's are maybe a year away from being huge faces but in the meantime the crowd is cheering for the Wyatt's. Creative gets hilariously confused when the crowd starts to get behind heel teams.
