Hey Simon - congrats on rolling over into quintuple-digits. You da man.
I'll throw in my two cents here, because I think there's some really good stuff in your post.

They want us to think that they are a legit tag team to be reckoned with but all it does is make Hurricane and Rosey look even worse than they already do. Its a damn joke.
Meanwhile backstage, the Hearthrobs grease each other up while Charlie Haas, Kidman and the Dudleys are no longer here. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. |
I'm with you here. While I'm not about to discourage the presence of any tag teams this day and age, these guys are doing a cliche rehash gimmick. Maybe Cade will try to become a shootfighter, only to get squashed by Butterbean and disappear into obscurity (or Japan, whatever). Don't get me started about Haas, Kidman, and the Dudley's getting the axe...stupid, stupid, stupid mistakes.

I think that HBK should just continue to be a tweener who shoots and tells things like it is. He hasn't been 100% babyface, but he'll always draw mixed reactions - no matter whether he's heel or face. He's too damn good of a performer for everyone to boo him and he's got too much history for everyone to cheer him. He's the quintessential crowd reaction generator.

Please, no. I really hope that WWE continues to put over Batista here. I can't see HHH wanting to look inferior to JBL - seeing as how he lost 3 in a row to Big Dave and JBL's only lost twice. I see his run continuing.

You know? I've been a proponent of the concept of the brand extension, but I think this is the best idea I've heard in a long time. Simply put, WWE doesn't have the creative juice to successfully write for and book one brand, so two is really zapping them. Having a 3 hour Raw and then Heat on the weekends - I like that combo.

Funny how The Rock is on Raw's roster on WWE.com now. What show's their favorite?

I think it's a matter of time. WWE's been quiet about this lately...too quiet.

Well put. Here's to Eddie getting a main event push as a heel.

No more Haitch...I really believe Angle's got a shot here. Maybe Edge will use his MITB and screw Angle - Kurt as a vicious face would be interesting.

Maybe, but I doubt that WWE will have that much patience.

And Smackdown's on their fourth. Again, what's their favorite show?

True, but Mick is 100x the performer the Hulkster is.

I agree, but HHH and JBL as champs a year ago this time sucked too. I think it's boring writing and booking.

Pretty much - and that doesn't say much when he's been demoted to the US Title.

It would be classic stuff. She is one the WWE best talents in the history of the company. Man or woman. Yup, I said it. |
I love Trish. Put her on TV anywhere. You said it and you said it right - one of the best of all time.

Yeah, I think he surprised all of us. Look at him a year ago. He was a Snitsky - a big jobber.

Why WWE feels that they need to keep the Dudley name is a little ridiculous. They aren't using it, aren't making money off of it, and Bubba and D-Von didn't do anything to deserve the unceremonious dumping they got. What can you do when there's only one big show in town, though?
