10 bell salute was more of McMahon ego at it's finest, Styles and Tazz looked so stupid in there over the top dedication s***!

You know.....now that Vinnie is "gone" I think the time is right for a hostile takeover by Donald Trump. He could come in and clean house.....start by firing Steph and replacing her with his own hot daughter. That conflict would of course build over the course of a month and end with a 'pudding' match on Raw.

 

I'd put the above in green but heck......with some of the writers they have....it could probably happen.

 

I read that they have been testing out not telling the ending ahead of time, so it would make sense that it would start appearing on TV. Keep in mind the original reports said the refs weren't told the finishes to the mid-card and lower level matches, not the main events. Of course the ECW main event is equivalent to a mid card match so I think the ref screwed it up.

 

 

Its over now

WWE has ended their experiment and are once again notifying referees of the planned match finishes at house shows. In addition to telling them the finish, they are also making the referees aware of the approximate time of the match as well as the sequence of the finish. However, the company has told the referees to fully enforce the rules in every match (not just prelims) as if they were real and call a DQ or a three count if the situation calls for it.

 

If a match ends wrong, WWE has made all of their workers know that the blame will be placed solely on the shoulders of the wrestlers and not the referees. This could have happened this past Tuesday night during the ECW main event, although that has not been confirmed.

 

The referees are said to be very happy with the new changes and feel that for the first time in several years that they have a sense of respect and empowerment that has been lacking. For so long, several wrestlers have ignored the refs in their matches, a move that could now land them in the company doghouse.

Sad news, Sensational Sherri Martel passed away.

 

No details other than that are available though.

Now I wonder how the fans are going to react to this angle given a real 10 bell salute needs to happen for the hall of famer...they are going to crap all over this Vince gimmick now given this tragic death.

See? when you edit out the restholds, you get 3 minutes of Orton "action".

They'll probably skip the salute and just do the on-screen tribute before the show starts.

Sad to hear about Sensational Sherri passing she was a very good wrestler and well respected and liked in a rough era for women by some of the tough old school wrestlers of the past!

Well at least Vince kept the shows going after his death just like Owen Hart!

MVP v. Flair for the US Strap (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little) and Chavo v. Yang for the Cruiserweight Strap added to Vengeance. Is this the first time the Cruiserweight title was defended on a PPV?

Flair is going to put over a good, young talent. MVP had a great program with Benoit.

 

And Jimmy Wayne Yang rules. Although I still think that he should be put with a stable of Cade, Murdoch and JBL where they have the redneck cowboy team with Yang as a leader of the rednecks -- but nobody tells Yang he is Asian because it'll be too detrimental to the movement.

MVP has grown on me. Needs to learn how to sell better. That is what good heels do.

 

I like Yang as well. He is super over on SD and isn't even on that much.

 

Excuse me while I go shower cuz I feel dirty for agreeing with LCR on wrestling.

MVP's okay, but he just doesn't seem to fit his character. He doesn't play the cocky asshole superstar that well IMO. He needs to study interviews with the TRUE arrogant jags, like Terrell Owens, Barry Bonds, Keyshawn Johnson, Rickey Henderson, etc. That would help him greatly, I'd think.

He at least needs to play more to the crowd when he's on top. That's something that say Edge for example really does well.

 

The potential is there, and his matches are getting better, but he's still got a ways to go.

Supplemental draft has started...

 

Raw gets (1) London/Kendrick, (2) The Sandman, (3) Daivari, (4) William Regal (5) Jillian Hall

 

SD gets (1) Kenny, (2) Hardcore Holly, (3) Major Brothers , (4) Victoria (5) Eugene

 

ECW gets (1) Viscera, (2) The Miz (oh what the f***?!), (3) Johnny Nitro

 

And this draft is over!

Londrick on Raw!! Yes!!! I love it.

 

Just when ECW gets rid of two roided up stiffs, they put fat Viscera on there? Yikes.

Like to see Kenny moving to Smackdown, perhaps he'll get more TV time. So the Sandman is going to RAW to put people over i guess.

Hardcore Holly should be in ECW, as should Sandman. Those guys are going to be forgotten in SD and RAW

Agreed. Holly has actually been watchable on ECW.

 

Sandman will be buried and than wished best in future endeavors soon.

 

I'd like to see Johnny Nitro go to Smackdown and laugh at me, but Jillian to Raw.

Jillian does go to Raw.

Jillian does go to Raw.

 

Love it! Hope they let her keep the "Pop Princess" gimic.

King Booker and Regal both on Raw? Please get Finlay there and reunite the King's court...one of the best stables in years, IMO.
