Wrestling Century Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Dreamer has gone! I'm hoping that he hasn't retired. Maybe he'll show up in TNA. Or at the very minimum in the indies! I am a big mark for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Yeah I have to admit I pay a lot more attention to story mechanics and directorial choices than the average movie-goer, but I don't really complain about it the way smarks take issue with every little thing. Also movies aren't a great analogy because they're not episodic the way wrestling is. I don't know many people who watch soaps with the same hyper-critical lens to make sure that the soap stays true to every soap cliche the way wrestling fans demand they see nothing new (and then complain about seeing nothing new). I'm still not exactly sure what the point of all this is (and not necessarily to you specifically but moneso to the direction of the topic): I understand the anti-smark sentiment that gets bothered by the open disdain that some internet fans have with the "today's wrestling" in general and the WWE specifically, but how much of this applies to the people posting in this thread. I haven't read through the entire thing, but from what I gather, the recent posts contain a lot of negative reaction in recent weeks to some less than spectacular booking and some brutally bad shows TLC was a good PPV, but you can't honestly believe that going into the PPV the majority of fans had really bought into Sheamus can you? He was getting mixed reactions at best....the people who like him are totaly entitled to like him but was he really built up in such a way that it's A TOTAL SHOCK that there's somewhat of a backlash? Really? And the Slammys and this past week's RAw were awful. Just brutally bad episodes. In two weeks there's been one segment I laughed at (Batista as Kanye) and one match I really enjoyed (Cena/Swagger). In 5 hours? How is that a good ratio? Call out the smarkiness if you want, but I just don't think the last month or so of Raws has been very good, and I usually make it apoint to catch up this time of year because I like the build up to WM. But this is rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tha Black Phenom Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Apparently the WWE has soured on him. And Ziggler too. Only one of those guys I'm gutted for, and it ain't Swagger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabataged Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Apparently the WWE has soured on him. And Ziggler too. Only one of those guys I'm gutted for, and it ain't Swagger. Other then Swaggers damn lisp the guy has everything going for him. He is a big athletic guy who can wrestle high impact or slow it down to the mat. He is like a big kurt angle in the ring. If he didn't have that stupid lisp he would be main eventing. He has charisma but they are scared to put him near a mic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweek It Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Cody Rhodes has a lisp as well, but I guess it is expected because he is the song of the American Dream. I like Swagger, but I like Dolph hold lot better. I hope both of them soon gets a push of some sorts again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Fenoli Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I actually enjoyed the Slammy Awards. Is anybody else picking up the World Heavyweight Championship DVD that just came out? Got it. I haven't watched anything but the documentry part but it's good. It could have been better. But then it would have been 3 hours long. Which would be fine with me. Just so much history of that title that could be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrestling Century Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 How do they deal with WMXX to Vengeance 2004 on the DVD? I highly doubt that they will even elude to Benoit's title reign. But then again, I don't know, 'cause I don't have the DVD yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Fenoli Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 How do they deal with WMXX to Vengeance 2004 on the DVD? No mention, that's what I meant by there could be more details. It mainly focuses on the early on history of the title. It doesn't break down title change by title change. I THINK there may have been a glimpse of it in part of a highlight package.

Tha Black Phenom Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I love the Abraham Washington Show, it's the only show where the guest can have a chance at getting his character and personality across(especially in this day and age of generic personas), even though Abe himself sometimes is a bit over-the-top. Case in point... the last ECW show, I thought he'd never shut up about Tiger Woods. -_- But this new tag team is quickly growing on me, and a good deal of that is thanks to that talkshow. Especially how they dissed poor Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it when they complained about having nothing to drink and Abraham like "Hey man this is ECW not Monday Night Raw so you dont get a drink" lol.

jwt13 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter There is a story going around the WWE locker room about Sheamus, Ted DiBiase and Yoshi Tatsu, who were all three roommates at one time in Tampa, Florida. They apparently all roomed together while they were all training in FCW. The story goes that Sheamus played “big dog” in the apartment and pissed his roommates off because he allegedly would use their protein shakers and not clean them. Ted and Yoshi confronted him at the same time once. Sheamus got mad and threw Tatsu’s shaker at him but Yoshi caught it. Sheamus then called out Tatsu but Yoshi ended up beating him up pretty bad. There are even reports that Sheamus was on the verge of tears. Yoshi is said to be very good with his hands and has boxed and gone through the New Japan dojo. When asked if the story was true, Tatsu would only say, “I just wanted to teach Sheamus a lesson in respect. Don’t mess with other peoples stuff.” There was hope within WWE that the story would make its way to Vince McMahon, who has always had the mindset that he doesn’t want people to think one of his World Champions lost a real fight. I thought this story was pretty intresting. Yoshi beat dat ass apparntly:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Century Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I thought this story was pretty intresting. Yoshi beat dat ass apparntly:D If that's true, then that's pretty hilarious, IMO. Just goes to show you that little guys can beat the big guys! But again, it may not be true. Also, what in the world is a protein shaker?
