  1. That tat is pretty badass. Must have cost a pretty penny(Well maybe he didn't have to pay, exposure and that).
  2. That logo is very similar to the pre scratch logo. I like the scratch, guess its a bit old though.
  3. 3oh3 are far from a screamo band. It sucks that they ripped it off. Thats one thing I hate about when people cover a song, the original artists hardly ever get the credit for that song, unless they are big too.
  4. Gates resigned, $36m over 5 years. $20m guaranteed. Good move. Now to get McNeill and Jackson resigned. Merriman too would be nice next year.
  5. I take it you didn't see his matches with Edge then? He had 2 or 3 very good matches with him in '07 I think. Didn't his match with HBK win PWI match of the year?
  6. Cena does have good payoff matches. HBK, Umaga, Trips, Edge, Angle etc.
  7. Just to throw in there, Chilly tries to bench Favre during the Panthers game last year. Favre wouldn't allow it.

Jobbing them out would be a way to hurt their popularity, as a way to keep them from going critical mass. But once they reached that point, jobbing them out wasn't going to work. You think I'm saying that them losing to others while actually losing no popularity is the issue. It isn't. <p> </p><p> What we think of "yo-yo" pushes is really a way to control how popular a wrestler is. You've seen this Mark Henry. Last year, he was beating Randy Orton. This year, his jobbing out to Wade Barrett. It's way to make sure they don't get more popular than WWE think they should. </p><p> </p><p> The other conclusion is that, instead of WWE being controlling, it's that they are incompetent. </p><p> </p><p> So, in fact, the only other conclusion is the WWE has idiotically bungled Mark Henry's, R-Truth's, Jack Swagger's, Dolph Ziggler's, and a lot of other's pushes because they don't just don't know how to do it right. </p><p> </p><p> Or they are intentionally doing it, or they aren't.

What I mean is, jobbing them out has no real discernable effect on their popularity because fans won't accept it, rather, it only angers them.

What do you mean by it angers the fans?(Why is that a bad thing?)</p><p> </p><p> The reaction when a heel goes over a face is supposed to be one of anger/sadness. Why would you want to bring them down anyway? The point of jobbing them would be to bring other guys to their level, not drag them down to the level the other guys are at.</p>
  10. When did jobbing out The Rock or SCSA anger the fans? Did they turn off the tv? Stop buying ppvs? You make it sound like you don't think those are the same thing.
  11. If he really doesn't want the problems then you job him out and let him go. You go back to your previous level of business and have the cash from that period to show for it.
  12. So what you're saying is that you think Vince would rather trundle along for the next 4 years with rating and buys as they are rather than have a mega star who bumps ratings way up and buys too. Makes him a bundle of cash, possibly cause a few problems backstage(which is what you seem to think worries him) and raises exposure of the WWE brand worldwide. Then leaves? I know if I was Vince I would kill for a Rock or Austin mega star. Is it me or are there alot of Cleveland fans posting today?
  13. Interesting. Is this just as it pertains to that angle or the entire show? Hopefully he gets its in the build up too, wouldn't make sense for it to be a one night thing.
  14. Yeah it does. The point of the Nexus is too destroy the established hierarchy of the WWE. If Cena were to join, I'd assume that would be his goal too. What better way to do it than lead a bunch of those guys into a match then turn on them.
  15. Theres something I hate about Codys ring gear. He looks really weird without knee or elbow pads.
  16. Nash is hilarious. Whether he wrote that for himself or not.
  17. Yeah, They probably can't afford to move around. Apparently the EC costs $250,000 to transport everytime WWE uses it for example.
  18. To each his own I guess. I hear that they have ditched the whole emo persona and fake names, which is great if true. Mike Portnoy will be drumming too, and he is amazing.
  19. Stone Sour and A7X are doing a joint tour. Hoping they make it to Ireland. I can take or leave A7X(Prolly decent live though) but I'm a big fan of Stone Sour, as you may already know.
  20. Probably because the money paid by TV companies matches what they would get from PPV. I'm rather surprised the Super Bowl has never been considered to go to PPV(to my knowledge).
  21. I guess, but alot of people are hoping to see the big KO punch too. I know you are only talking about your own opinion though.
  22. Its quite hilarious that they put (spoiler) at the end of the headline.
  23. Cards being stronger is very subjective. The casual fan who only orders the Tyson fight won't know the undercard fighters(Not saying you are, but I get that impression). That doesn't mean they aren't good.
