lol, ok Eric. That's why ratings have gone from a 1.3-1.5 down to a 1.17.
 
OT usually gets closed during E3 right? Are we going to take over the WWE '12 thread, similar to last year w/ the Allstars one, or just 1 week of no WrassleGAF?

Bullshit. Little Jimmy isn't shelling out $300-$1000+ for ringside PPV tickets

Furthermore, the product used to be diverse and cater to all walks of wrestling fans instead of being 99% John Cena and everything else is just pointless filler to kill time.

bischoff is delusional. when those ratings keep dropping, what then?
 
TNA ratings at the end of 2007 with much lower overhead and star power

"MPACT! (December 27 2007): 1.1
iMPACT! (December 20 2007): 1.1
iMPACT! (December 13 2007): 1.2
iMPACT! (December 6 2007): 1.1 [Against ECW]"


3 1/2 years later still pulling the same ratings. Congratulations Eric.
 
I don't apologise for this but that Chyna trailer is hot I will watch sometime.

My main question for June, which 'new stars' push will be halted first Riley or Truth?

Riley on Monday reminded me of Kofi at Madison Square Gardens and we know how that turned out.

Yeah, OT usually gets closed or else GAF would be one big error (if it isn't already) on E3. Not sure where we'll go, but going to the WWE '12 thread would be a noble idea.

Well, Randy is on Smackdown. Miz isn't going to throw a fit and call him Stupid for botching something. If that were the case Cena would have been FE'd by now:p
 
Trying to watch the NXT replay on Youtube. What's the story on JTG? I saw him on Superstars a little, thought he was a face, but he comes off as douchey heel on here. They should get him with somebody, or get him a revamped gimmick. He's not too bad in the ring.

JTG was always the more gifted in ring within the Cryme Tyme duo. Shad did his job as the powerhouse, but he was very green in the ring.

I'll have to check JTG's heel material on youtube myself; I've always heard from people in WrestleGAF that he was a heel but I never looked further into it.
 
An odd situation happened after Tuesday's WWE SmackDown tapings in Des Moines, Iowa. After SmackDown ended, Mark Henry came out for a dark main event that was advertised to be Christian vs. Randy Orton. Henry entered the ring and just waited as no opponent ever came out. Henry waited for around five minutes before finally beginning to cut a promo to the crowd. Each time Henry would begin to speak, the microphones were cut.

Instead of getting a promo accomplished, Henry began to taunt some fans at ringside. After 15 minutes of this going on, ring announcer Tony Chimel announced that while fans waited for Mark Henry's opponent, WWE thanks the fans for attending.

Henry's music started playing for a few minutes before stopping. Hornswoggle's music then hit but he never came out. After a few minutes of that, The Great Khali's old theme music played but again, nobody came out. Khali's music stopped and Vince McMahon's music played but as expected, he didn't come out either. After about 20 minutes since SmackDown ended, Henry got tired of waiting for an opponent and walked to the back. No word yet on what happened but it sounds like WWE was playing a big rib on Henry.

Someone who was at the show claimed they did that to keep fans in the arena while the wrestlers left. The person said the arena they were in did not have a private parking garage, so they had Henry go out there and keep everyone in their seats so most of them could get out.

I read about this, it's fucked up, hope Henry was in on it really as it just seems a bit needless, the guy works his ass off and seems a top bloke.

Then again you get the feeling WWE treat most of their guys like shit.

Either way what a poor way to trear paying customers.

Edit another reports

"The advertised Dark Match was supposed to be Christian vs Orton for the belt, but after Orton laid on the mat for 5 minutes and finally got up, Mark Henry immediately hit the ring. The referee was Armstrong. After 5 minutes, Henry started getting harassed by members of the crowd, being called a "fa**ot" repeatedly, a "you can't wrestle" chant broke out, and one very vocal (and VERY DRUNK) guy yelled "Don't make me come in there and beat the black off of you". Henry started getting visibly pissed, and got a mic. Well, the mic died before he could say anything. Then Henry got a second mic, and before he could finish saying "you better hope this mic works" that mic died. Finally a third mic was given to Henry and that one, too, was broken. He continued arguing with the section of the crowd that would have been behind the announcer's desk while Armstrong started laughing hysterically"

Well its every WWE Champion ever so if you can't fill in the gaps just think who won the title in-between so and so
 
Watching the Raw opening again now with sound, R-Truth is fantastic in his new insane role. Hopefully he doesn't drop too far down the card after he is inevitably bested by Cena at Capitol Punishment.
I have the feeling Cena is going to have a redux of his 2007 title reign, to take on numerous challengers in 1-2 month long feuds.

More like they have no other choice. If Punk is leaving, Del Rio is the only credible heel left for him to face, and apparently they're saving that for Summer Slam. Unless they decide to push...gulp...Mason Ryan..... *runs away screaming*

The Eddie one was sketchy. There was also a lack of Benoit.
....i understand
 
That's a hell of a work out Beth was doing. They should make a storyline female wrestlers vs. divas.

Lol @ the Chyna videos. Gah. Completely killed her wrestling career.

And I agree, the ending of Li Z was hilarious.

Bischoff posted this on his twitter. I guess he's not a fan of us internet folk.

The irony in his statement is the fact that ratings don't lie. No one gives a shit about the product he puts out.
