Where the hell did he go? - Wrestling Forums : WWE, TNA, ECW, E-Fed, Wrestlemania, Live Wrestling Streams

The one thing that I hate about the WWE is that they simply don't acknowledge when a person is fired, sent down to the OVW or quite simply hurt.

Keep in mind that we are more or less the "internet nerds" that know everything. I am talking about how they treat the casual fan.

What would be the big deal about keeping us up to date on where Christian is? How long will he be out? Whats wrong with him?

What happened to Johnny Nitro? Where did Mordeci go?

What about Stone Cold Steve Austin? Last time I checked he was one of the biggest icons in the history of the WWE. He just vanishes and nobody mentions him again.

The WWE treats fans like they are idiots. Just Lame.

P.S. Fire Jerry the King

They said where Christian is and he would be out for a while. Nitro was "fired" I doubt there isn't a fan alive who doesn't know what happened to SCSA. The Mordeci they prolly just want to not adress and forget it ever happened.

I know Trish has tried to mention Christian whenever she can. But i completly agree with the rest of the post Simon, including the Jerry Lawler comment. He has lost his touch.

Work with here Ida. You know what I am talking about.

Thanks Pink

Well back before the internet they did the same thing. I would wonder where people went but I always just assumed then no longer worked for the WWE. And I am guessing if people are really curious they must know they can go on the net and find out.

In the old days, Mordecai might have "went to jail" or "hurt his leg" and that would be the end of that. I think the WWE gives fans more credit than we think. They don't mention Steve Austin because he isn't in the company anymore, and you don't want to bury the guy in case he comes back.

If you say "Mordecai was sent back down to OVW because he wasn't that good" then the fans can't suspend reality anymore. Then you have to think "oh he really wasn't a religious cult guy....just a bad wrestler" and sure we ALL know they are all just characters, but you have to have a little bit of a mark inside of you to be a fan.

If you start mentioning OVW, then fans know Eugene is really Nick Dinsmore, and he's not really mentally challenged. Of course, we all KNOW that already...but it doesn't mean we want to be told it.

I think they used to do injury angles if a guy was going to be leaving the company in good terms.

On a related note, does any know if Scott Steiner was ever released by WWE? If not, where is he? Thanks.

Papa Shango · 07-23-2004, 08:45 PM

Well Bouchie, thats another prime example of not letting the fans know whats going on.

I recall X-Pac getting canned.. no word of it on TV.

I recall Road Dogg getting the boot.. no word of it on TV

I recall Raven getting the boot.. no word of it on TV

And as for all the big injuries lately, there has only ever been ONE person they have covered through their healing process.. and thats HHH. (Even though he was a heel whan he got injured). I dont think there was anybody before, or after HHH that got the amount of rehab updates that HHH did.

Austin.
