Budget cuts!!!

ICEMAN · 08-04-2005, 05:28 PM

Great idea D. This should be fun:

Group A: Super-duper main eventers
Undertaker. Only caveat is that he gets to have one final send-off match, since he's been with WWE for so long.

Group B: Young main-event caliber stars
Edge. I was a big fan of his until he hurt his neck. Since he returned I haven't enjoyed watching him on my TV, plus he's a sleaze for cheating on his wife and almost ruining Hardy's career.

Group C: Big, slow upper-mid-carders
Kane. I don't think there's anything else left for him to do.

Group D: Small fast upper-mid-carders
1. Chris Benoit
2. Eddie Guerrero
3. Chris Jericho
4. Shelton Benjamin

Sorry but I can't cut any of these guys at this point. They're too valuable, plus you need decent in-ring worker to help hide the flaws of the younger guys.

Group E: Up-and-comers
Orlando Jordan. Pretty generic character, can easily be replaced.

Group F: Tag-teams
LOD '05. Once an original member dies, you should NEVER, EVER BRING THE TEAM/BAND back in any way shape or form. That goes for you, Lynard Skynard, who I think only have like 1-2 original dudes left. OK, end of rant.

Group G: Guys who've been around a while
William Regal. I like him but more as a manager type so maybe he could stay on that way?

Group H: Mexicools
Super Crazy. Had to pick one, so there you go.

Group I: bWo
Blue Meanie. I hate what JBL did to him but I've never been a fan of his.

Group J: Old jobbers
Viscera. He should've never been brought back.

Group K: Young jobbers
Tyson Tomko. No real reason just don't like him.

Group L: Good cruisers
Tajiri.

Group M: Bad cruisers
Scotty 2 Hotty. I can't believe he survived the recent cuts. His character is beyond stale.

Group N: Good Divas
Lita. Hasn't been the same since hurting her neck ... and sleeping with Edge.

Group O: Bad Divas
Sharmell.

Group P: Miscellaneous
Coach. He's just OK, plus I could never justify keeping an announcer over an actual wrestler.

Group Q: Announcers
King. Too annoying.

Group R: McMahons
Shane. I always hate when Shane wrestles because he more times than not dominates the offense. He went a long way towards damaging Kane's character after he took his mask off. Kane was supposed to be this unstoppable monster who could've been in main events, yet Shane-O-Mac not even a part-time wrestler, was doing damage against him. Ruined Kane IMO. In real life Shane wouldd get his ass beat very quickly by mostly everyone on the roster.

how many times did shane put kane over???

and i love how everyone complains that smackdown sucks right now yet everyone would fire its only asset. people buy tickets for smackdown so they can see the undertaker.

having group A there is silly... you dont fire super-duper main-eventers. unless youre eric bischoff.

Kane beat Shane O'Mac both times out, however I'm surprised someone like you with wrestling experience and knowledge believes (even remotely) that Shane was "putting Kane over". Did you watch their matches? Did you see how Raw kept finishing with Shane having beaten Kane down? Do you really believe that that was putting someone over??

spankymcspankspank · 08-04-2005, 05:46 PM

no, of course not. they put eachother over back and forth for many weeks. its called a feud. but the last time shane was in action on WWE television, he was tombstoned on a concrete floor, then thrown into an ambulance. the ambulance doors were closed and it drove off. has shane wrestled since then? no, therefore kane is still over.

Kane started that feud as an unstoppable monster fighting an occasional performer. How the f*** was that putting each other over? Shane wasn't doing house show business. Shane wasn't looking to build for a feud following on from Kane. Shane was also a bloke beaten cleanly by Test and Steve Blackman. How the hell did him "hanging" with the company's huge monster benefit Kane in anyway at all. And don't try to explain to me what a "feud" involves you condescending little man like you know the business, if you did you wouldn't be talking rubbish.

Slimdust · 08-04-2005, 05:55 PM

same reason how chyna beat jericho... why is a ''retard'' beating up people like kurt angle and triple h? its entertainment. just relax a bit and just enjoy the show.

Tyler Durden · 08-04-2005, 06:03 PM

Let's get back to D's thread then.

whoa whoa, easy there. dont forget the storyline man. remember what kane did to linda? put a "little" guy like shane in the ring with kane and he might not have much of a chance, but have kane beat up shanes MOM beforehand and youd probably be surprised at what the "little guy" can dish out. that was the angle. and then angle got a lot of heat too in case youd forgotten. picture a crowd of 20,000 chanting "shane o'mac" and "holy shit..." ring any bells? kane is surely not a main-eventer on his own, and all im really saying is that shane brought out the best in him, and in the end put him over big time.
