And that's why everyone is sick of your posts. Don't forget G-Fex's posts! Same old crap all the time. We need more posts about Booker T! #heel

cause you just do princess.
Stop stealing my underwear.
 
IMHO it is the best thread on GAF. I have laughed a lot too. :) There are some very cool people here.

And just as everyone here did for me almost a year ago, I welcome you.

it's too bad they cracked down on it and got rid of some of the fun..

but some people like it that way
 
After months of lurking this thread, screw it I'm diving in and botching on the way.

Hi! Allow me to say I've had quite a few laughs reading this thread.

Welcome! I look forward to seeing the shitty hat your avatar wears more often. :) Good to have you!
 
Supposedly, WWE held internal discussions this week about ending Michael Cole's heel character on commentary. Rating trends indicate that all segments that spotlight babyfaces going from the main event on down see either ratings losses or no substantial gains, while segments that spotlight heels see ratings increases. Some brave ones in the company have finally suggested to Vince that it may not be an issue of the babyface talent, but Michael Cole's commentary that is causing fans to tune out in large numbers. It was pointed out that Cole consistently buries babyface talent by pointing out legitimate flaws that could affect their perception to fans and also, his gimmick takes away focus from matches. Former Intercontinental Champion Lance Storm critcized the company after this week's Raw for similar reasons, saying, "Advice to WWE. Stop having everyone point out each other's flaws, especially legit ones. Why is everyone burying the talent and the product?"

It's always been considered taboo to criticize Cole's character, since Vince McMahon is a huge fan of it. Vince is the author of just about everything thing Cole says on TV that's not related to the match in the ring. No one is putting any heat on Cole because everyone understands he's just doing what Vince tells him to do.
What the fuck took them so long to figure this out?
 
I'm in on the rumble, though I suspect that about fifty people already put their word in.

If that's the case, maybe we can have a jobber rumble for us slow movers. :|
 
No way am I doing it for everyone, but I've apparently made 1471 Wrasslin' related posts this year :|

I shudder to think how much G-Fex, djsandman or spin have posted.

Okay so my posts aren't filled with great New Japan wrestling matches

I'm just a plain old mark

You fall in the 'uncommon' poster list. G-Fex, Net_Wrecker, Heavy, Spin, all them are 'common' cards.
 
It's 100 times worse when he's made to point out legit negatives, but he's still an awful commentator under normal circumstances.

I'm hoping ex-DGUSA commentator Rob Naylor does well - he made his debut ring announcing for FCW a few weeks back and although he looked scared shitless, he has two clear advantages over Cole; one, he can actually call a match move-for-move and two, he actually sounds genuinely excited about the product he's commentating on.

Far be it for me to call the quality of your postings in question, that was not my intent, I'm just saying...you post a lot :p
 
And? Cole sucks ass with or without Vince screaming how he really feels through the headset. It's 100 times worse when he's made to point out legit negatives, but he's still an awful commentator under normal circumstances.
It's like people calling Orton having great matches, people have been grown to accept mediocrity and talk as if it's something above average.
 
The Raw Ratings are in and the rating was 2.93.

Raw averaged 4.46 million viewers overall. Raw's first hour averaged 4.33 million viewers and the second hour increased to an average of 4.59 million viewers, the most second hour viewers since November 21, the night after Survivor Series.

Got to get the breakdowns to compare Cena to Punk but it seems like its more Cena and Kane for everyone.

That my biggest issue with Cole, he sounds fake. Always has. I've NEVER liked him on the table. It's insane that the company has both JR and Joey Styles under contract, and puts Michael Cole on every show.

I'm not gonna crap on Orton right now. I'm up and down with my opinion on the guy all the time, but he's been working hard this year. Despite my dislike of his "viper" mannerisms, and how he feels obligated to get every one of his moves into every match no matter how convoluted the setup, they guy's solid.
