HHH at the start of Smackdown is hilarious. "Guys, stop cheering for me, i might be the devil. You're supposed to like Reigns."

I tend to just watch Raw though, switching to the GOP Debate for a different version of wrestling.

i haven't felt hyped about a wwe event in so long that my brain doesn't know how to handle it

i get happy feelings when i think about it. the wwe shouldn't be invoking happy feelings. what is happening to me? :(

It's okay friend.

The thought of a McMahon killing himself for our pleasure on live TV gets me hype also.

So apparently they are paying Nakamura main roster, main event type money (although not millions), so he's only expected to be in NXT for like a couple months; he also specifically negotiated keeping his name and his ring outfits.

I don't think a dollar amount was ever given amount but it was also said that they paid Finn Balor pretty big money since he was making six figures in NJPW and he's been in NXT for quite some time now.

Didn't realize how long Cody's been with the company. He had a decent match with Shane on Superstars in 09. I'll try to post a link later when I get home.

I'm just busting your balls. I remember you putting up a lot of items up for sale for over 4 times their msrp (playstation 4 20th anniversary).

Trying to draw heat leading up to our inevitable SFV match up
Click to expand...

Oh that's the only thing I sold there for a profit and it wasn't anywhere close to 4x :p Everything else was much cheaper than you could purchase online. Still demand drives market price. Someone felt the anniversary ps4 was worth paying extra for. I'm not paying 10x the price for nxt tickets though.

BTW, my SF5 skills are like a Denzel Washing movie, unstoppable ;)

He was in a developmental (Ohio i believe) for a short period of time. The dude moved up quick into main roster. I used to watch some of his old stuff on rare occassion but missed out on ted dibiase's son's stuff
Click to expand...
You missed nothing from his son. Everyone assumed he would be the break away star but the only thing he took a break from was wwe. Guy couldn't hold a microphone to save his life and in the ring he was boring.

I remember that Legacy vs. DX Hell in a Cell being pretty good at least.

Other than that the best use of Ted was getting Maryse more screen time.

Just got caught up on SmackDown. Those boos during
Triple H's entrance and promo
were piped in right? They sounded like they were from a stock library.

You can always tell when they're piped in. For the most part, that's sd in a nutshell. Piped in responses.

We need to do a Wrasselgaf over/under on how far Shane will fall at WM.

Seriously. Someone needs to provide dimensions of the following heights:

-ladder to ring
-ladder to floor while standing in ring
-same as above, but high ladder instead of standard
-cell roof to ring
-cell roof to ring w/tables
-cell roof to floor
-cell roof to floor w/tables
-cell roof to floor w/2 tables
-ladder on cell roof to floor w/tables

*edit: I refuse to bet on cell roof to bare floor even though he's insane enough.

Everyone keep adding. It could be fun.

You liked Shawn getting his ass kicked for 15 minutes while Triple H was locked outside? Then taking 10 minutes to find a set of boltcutters to finally get inside where he proceeds to beat two guys on his own?

I have it on good authority that Shane is skydiving in from a height of 30,000 feet to kick off his match. He'll parachute for part of his descent but then cut it loose so he can crash onto 10 druids to break his fall.

I think Shane will do some kind of update on the Rikishi chokeslam off the roof onto a truck spot.

Maybe some kind of truck with a breakable roof so they can go nuts on the padding since the new cell is huge.




TBH the biggest question IMO is if Taker can climb the Cell or will they have to get someone else to "interfere" to set up a roof spot.

Thinking of subing too WWE network with Wrestlemaina.


Something I was wondering to spice up the current product why don't they bring back

The WWE draft
Using the WCW and ECW branding
Go to a mix of the attitude Era and the more flayboyant style of the 80s.

Haven't watched since I was a kid around the time Cena became a big thing.

1 Draft won't happen unless there's a brand split. They have one roster for 5+ hours of product each week
2 They pride themselves on being better than the minor leagues
3 It won't happen. Now they have 20+ writers and no one except a select few have any sense of direction or focus

Well I think:

They would need a brand split, and they do not have the roster for that.

They tried this with WCW and it failed because they didn't have the WCW stars. They brought back ECW for awhile and they only had a handful of talent plus it didn't resemble anything like the original run ECW, so that eventually ended.

The WWE is a more family friendly product now, Attitude era stuff really wouldn't work with their sponsors.
