Vince wanted to shoot fight Dana white as the main event of wrestlemania 27 according to meltzer

What lol. I never heard of this.

 

[Barrage]

Really, really great article on Bleacher Report about how myopic smarks are because they don't even realize what they're doing to themselves: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...ns-to-mcmahon-epidemic-and-own-indecisiveness

Some highlights:

Too much truth dog.

100 proof. The death of kayfabe has led to wrestling fans being more entitled then they have ever been.

highlight them more than when he was out cutting promos about beanstalks? That would be impressive.

Dude has issues with crowds whenever it's not supposed to go the way it was intended. And you want him to play the driving force behind promos and angles?

Undertaker/Lesnar and Vince/Dana at WM 27.

Ahhh, what could have been....

I don't remember saying I wanted him going out cutting long promos

The thing I love most about Vince is how he'll often time make no attempt to hide his deep personal insanity. Just puts that shit on the table.

.... What?

Roman in the same sentence of those guys who actually stood out and could hold their own?

 

[Mahonay]

Turning heel won't fix any of Roman Reigns problems.

In fact, it will only highlight them.

I don't see how a heel Roman Reigns would be any more ridiculous than the current face storyline. Why could he not work as a heel?

 

[KissVibes]

You guys ever think that Vince would knife fight someone to the death if he could do it live on TV? Him and Ted Turner in a cage, scrambling for some rusty old combat knife Vince got from a homeless veteran back in the 1980s. Vince grabbing hold of the blade, wildly swinging his arms at Turner and screaming, "COME ON TEDDY, PUT ME OUT OF BUSINESS PERMANENTLY."

I think about this a lot.

Vince has this dream every Sunday night before RAW.

Heels drive the story daddeh. If anything he would have to cut more promos as a heel.

They would've needed more seats for those matches

I always visually imagine these posts, this one is probably one of the best ever.

He wrestled Kofi on a plane that was midflight, and publicly said he was sad his stepdad died before he could kill him personally. You shouldn't rule out Vince doing anything

Undertaker did some of biggest heel runs while speaking very little.

Also he was pretty bad on the mic.

Will Reigns be able to say "Say WHAT if you like to sleep with your own sister" though

 

[Bluekaveli]

Wait so JR said Hunter is wrestling multiple live events before WM? Is this true? I thought it would just be the March to Mania? What if his quad gives out?

Fixed based on last week's Raw.

Remember when Vince was going to invade raw with a Hobo army after his limo exploded

I still want to see his brother, Rod.

Going through WWF 1995 PPVs on the Network right now, and "Dok Hendrix" is awful in every role they put him in.

Time to repackage the Wyatts.

Lol! He had only a few good quirks on commentary, but I usually tuned him out. His documentary type pieces were decent though.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I wonder if Russo ever knew about him. If he did, I can't believe he didn't try an angle during the attitude era. I mean, Rod McMahon. The jokes practically write themselves.

 

[giancarlo123x]

What is my deadline? I don't want to be a poor sport.

You know. Take my ball and go home. I still have my smile.

Not sure but I'm will to get these matches done soon. Add me on psn, it's the same as my name here.

Some highlights:

Yes, YES. This is how I've been feeling as I get more and more back into this. It's why I always ask things like "why are people getting excited about Taker/Sting/HHH/whoever" as possible matches?

The WWE is clearly trying to bring new talent up and in, but it seems like people only want the same old crap.

The first mention of him was during "The other power" storyline. Reading around a bit, it seems like he just isn't really into the whole wrestling business.

And he was supposed to show up during the limo explosion but... Christjust has the worst timing, doesn't he?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't think it's too late to add The Genetic Jackhammer vs. The Rod of Destiny for WM 32.

I think a lot of is people associating old talent with a product that was a lot more exciting. Meanwhile much of the new talent is presented in the same exact way, every single Monday, year around. Considering this, it's hardly surprising to me to see HHH getting over with relative ease, while at the same time an all-in push with Roman is struggling dearly.

Also, any talent that's not in the ring weekly is seemingly more over simply by not being a part of the regularly active roster, since they have not had the chance to be ruined by the weekly booking on RAW. Meltz has said this and I very much agree.

Big Show and Kane are from The Attitude Era, but they've been driven into the ground every week for the past 15 years.

Lol

I don't know how you could possibly have the Bulletproof Balor Club without the guy who actually wears a Bulletproof vest on a regular basis.

Don't try to deny it. Reigns, Ballor, Gallows, and Anderson. Drink it in.

If they call Finn's group BBC, they messed up more than when they went with The Submission Sorority.

It's wrasslegaf's fault that Lex Luger didn't become the top guy.

 

[Data West]

Undertaker did some of biggest heel runs while speaking very little.

Also he was pretty bad on the mic.

Undertaker had two of the best mouthpieces in the WWE at the time speaking for him(Bearer and Vince)

and then I'd say his best heel run, subjectively, he did his most promo cutting as Big Evil.

Kane's 5 consecutive weeks off during the Seth feud was more time off than Bray's had from TV ever. #GOATKane #GoodManKane #ThereIsKane

WWF was close to going bankrupt in November 1997. I'm pretty sure Vince would have killed himself before letting Eric Bischoff become his boss.

 

[Fox318]

I'm actually pissed brock didn't shoot on him.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

Vince McMahon should host the oscars.

Some highlights:

I don't think its a particularly good article because it mostly dismisses out of hand the actual problem with Reigns's booking.
