Just for the record, I don't discredit peoples anger or unhappiness. I was simply expressing my opinion that I believe it's a work, and I wasn't defending it. If indeed it is a work, then I would

I'd rather a intentional DQ finish, than 50/50 booking or having a pointless match at PPV where someone goes 2-0 over the other. An intentional DQ to me still gives the eventual loser an edge that the

<p>Okay...</p><p> </p><p>

Am I the only one who thought the Sheamus/Morrisson falls count anywhere match was pretty fantastic?</p><p> </p><p>

Has to be one of the better matches the WWE has put on live TV in a while, particularly for a non-main event. I think the only thing that took away from it was the interference ending... but given the rules and the storyline, I wasn't shocked and kinda expected it.</p><p> </p><p>

Loved Sheamus's reaction when he missed the kick and took out that chunk of equipment instead.</p>

It's an excellent idea, but in the end it sorta looked at first like Cena just accidentally fell sideways while trying to hit the FU and hit the table too...

One of the WWE's better efforts in recent history. Sheamus was golden all night, his match with Morrisson being one of the best non-Main Events the WWE has given on free TV, and I actually really dug the overbooked main event.

R-Truth is a crappy rapper and it's an even crappier gimmick. It didn't work well for him when he was K-Kwik, and it still annoys me today.</p><p> </p><p> Torn on the Goldust/Regal stuff... the initial angle was funny, as was the manner in which the match ended, but... eh.

Gomenasai. Wakarimasen ga?

 

Iie, chotto wakarimash*ta.

 

Far from fluent, though... I just watch enough foreign films and anime to pick up on just about the most basic parts of sentences. For Japanese refences in American TV, it's more than enough to keep track, but the times I've tried to watch AJPW I've been completely lost outside of names and finishers, for the most part.

 

EDIT: Apparently, it thinks I'm referring, very cleverly, to fecal matter. Ah, well. You'd hardly pronounce that 'i' anyways.

No to harp on this (because hellshock might come in and we'd be stuck in a 7page debate on the matter ;) ) but R-Truth is a decent worker witha sh*t gimmick.

 

I don't know if it's his fault or the hopelessly outdated writers...but his 'rapper' gimmick is pathetic because a)he's a bad rapper and b) it's totally unbelievable...watching RTruth is like seeing one of those cheesy 80s TV show/Commercials where black people would start spontaneously rapping about rainbows and potato chips or whatever.

 

Awful.

 

The fact that they signed Truth and released Burke at almost the same time is still one of the more baffling moves in wrestling over the last few years.

R'Truth really has only had 2 gimmicks. The thug and the rapper, heel and face. He is much more believable as the Thug if you ask me. If he would just quit dancing around and starting scowling at people, he would have a little menace to him. I think they should start a black panther-esque stable. Be like a Nation of Domination stable but with a little more edge and not the damn African colors.

I honestly think that they are afraid to do something like this with their current 'product settings'

 

I'd say that's probably WHY they cut Burke; they saw that his Pope is Pimpin gimmick would get over but in today's WWE there's just no way they're running a black man out there to talk about pimpin and slappin hos.

 

In the Attitude Era? yes...in kid friendly 2010? No

What I was going to say... How much longer is this PG era going to last? :confused:

Probably until they have a form of competition that could be viewed as even remotely to be a threat. No reason to take risks right now.

 

In other words, blame TNA for spending so much time sucking.

 

This.

 

Seriously...WWE has ZERO reason to make any risky moves. That's why they run the same match 47 times in a row, that's why their storylines are so predictable,that's why you can watch RAW once a month and be caught up on things...they're totally on cruise control

While I only watch WWE sparingly, I was curious about something. Someone PLEASE explain to me WHY Randy Orton is a main eventer? What was that slamming his fists on the ground thing last night? First he's this cerebral stalking type guy who moves slowly and calculating around the ring (which he doesn't pull off very well-he looks like he has back and neck issues), the he drops down and throws a sort of intimidation FIT? what is that?

 

It's good to see I can not watch wwe for 6+ Months and the main even picture hasn't changed (unfortunately) I really wish they'd develop some more young talent and give em a chance. Not this "nexus" thing, whatever that is..a bunch of young thugs??

 

One last thing..what's up with Jericho? I wish he'd leave, mainly because they given him these terrible gimmicks. Sit in the ring and cry about getting in a match? or he'll quit? GEEZ! Let him be the (oops hit the word filter) confident heel he was when he came in as Y2J and great great promos and bury his competition that way (like he did to the Rock when he did debut).
