I've only hears hearsay on the issue tbh. I think they could've at least let DDP win one with the help of other wCw guy, then Taker could've taken the last match. I don't remember how long they were involved in a feud either.

Well Ufc has to promote summerslam at Ufc 202 which is just before SS and the current planned debut date for Punk.
I am sure they would love it if punk lost.
If brock loses I wonder how that will effect his current wwe booking. I mean we all know what happens when he wins. He will lose his next match of Vince can giggle at making thr legit fighter lose to some random Samoan.

I wonder if WWE has to reciprocate and promote 202. If Vince has to promote Punk's debut LOL

Angle was legit pissed about that.
Imagine trying to do a spot but the glass doesn't break. Now imagine you're doing it on the boss's son. Now imagine the son continues to beg from his increasingly corpsified mouth that you do it until it works like the script asked, and that the dad will fire you if you don't essentially kill this man for bloodsport.
WWE was dark essentially throughout every era/time, it's just amazing how stuff looking pretty can hide that
Who he fights will really say alot about how much control the WWE or Brock had in choosing the fight.
Names that could draw
Mark Hunt
- Originally rumored to be training in case Cain gets injured (which he will).
Junior Dos Santos
- Coming off win in April around the time of Mania but he is coming off of an injury
UFC could throw somebody like a Ruslan Magomedov but who knows.
Names that could draw but outside factors prevent it
CM Punk
- Weight class difference
- Experience difference
- WWE Lawsuit might have made things tricky
- Injury
Fedor
- Fighting in June
- Probably won't pass a USADA test
Josh Barnett
- Booked to fight in December
Brendan Schaub
- Not in any camp right now and filed his retirement papers with USADA
Frank Mir
- Suspended by USADA for 2 years for violation
Shane Carwin
- He isn't in any camp
- Frankly because he tweeted this:
CroCop:
- Suspended by USADA for 2 years for violation
Roy Nelson
- Booked for Show in July
Bobby Lashly
- No way Bellator lets him go
- Working TNA show soon and not in camp
Alistair Overeem
- Fighting for the title at UFC 203
Vince gets back at people by making money on their behalf. Its why he got every WCW guy to come in and job.

To all the wrestling raters in the thread, how would y'all grade the fight between Nacho Libre and Ramses?

money couldn't save him this time.
If angle ever comes back, this is one that needs some live commentary. This is probably my second time watching the match but I didn't hear stories about the spot until last year. But that fall in the head is sick.

HOLY FUCK IT'S BOOKER T OH SHIT!
It has begun. Godspeed, Blue...
And he was punished instantly for not protecting Austin on the table bump.

I blame that on Austin!!! He fucks up way too much.
He was deemed as unsafe and thusly punished once the planned run vs the Rock was done.
The behind scene politics were crazy in 2002 and 2003.
Booker also earned a bad reputation as he liked to play on his Gameboy Advance and Triple H used it as showing that Booker wasn't willing to learn by watching others matches.
Bluekaveli
Member
I just read about it, apparently they were supposed to clear the table for Booker before the spot and they didn't.
Bruce P was like you need to apologize to Austin and maybe pack his bags for him.
Bruce is also the same one who took part in telling R-Truth that thw wrestling business is a white mens industry.

Imagine if people only learned how to wrestle by watching Triple H's matches.
The WWE would have closed up shop long ago.

That sounds familiar, right Blue?
Huh. Never heard about that part.

What a bitch. Booker has been around the block longer than Hunter and probably watched more skilled matches than Hunter(lol). I'd loce to hear more backstage stories since I didnt follow the sheets back then. Well.
I legit lold.
IT'S MIKE AWESOME, HE'S THE HAEDCORE CHAMPION
Everyone wanted to protect their spots.
Kurt Angle vetoed against RVD as he had a problem with how stiff/reckless RVD worked.
Triple H and Austin were in full on paranoid mode.
Undertaker was working with the WCW guys and they weren't helping themselves in the slightest backing up everyone's claims that the WCW talent can't work.

Angle probably had ot out for everyone in ecw because of the history he had with them.
Were there ever any complaints about Eddie or Benoit? Or were they so damn good that tv get fit in perfectly? Also how about Billy Kidman?
Not surprised about RVD. Nor about Austin since his walkout in 2002.
They were more interested in making sure Kidman split from his real life wrestling girlfriend more than every doing much with him. A trend they've continued with since only Lana and Rusev have survived so far.
I never once read any complaints against the Radicals, but before 2007 what exactly could you hold against Benoit?

Why is Dean Norris there? I didn't know he was a wrassler.
Bluekaveli
Member
Yeah I remember someone telling me about the Kidman and Torrie thing and I thought that it sucked. Maybe they actually saw something in him and they figured she would just ruin what he could become.
Most of the radical guys were legit professionals and all about business as well so that make sense. Of course I've heard Eddie had small anger issues kinda like hbk, I guess frustration would be what I'm looking for.

Booker T got shafted for his first three years and when finally did get his main event spot in WWE, they saddled him with a lame gimmick.
Bluekaveli
Member
I ummm forgot all about his neck injury. I couldn't exactly remember when it happened but it all makea sense now because I didn't recall anything involving him during the invasion period. Which you have to ask yourself how would thing have played out regarding the undisputed title. Or what side they would've put him on. Because when he came back, that's when they gave him the 'whatever' theme song isn't it?
Damn Booker clapped Vince. IT'S ON NOW! THIS IS WAR!
it really is a term that's pretty hideos

The King Booker gimmick was Booker's idea 😊 and he lovwd it. He said what made it even better was being able to add his wife as his on screen Queen lol.

Didn't know that, in that case then that it is awesome.

IIRC the Radicalz didn't get as much shit (in comparison) since they jumped ship on their own and didn't come along with the WCW purchase.
Lightning Count
Member
Yeah they definitely got better treatment than who came over in the Invasion or after it.
Bluekaveli
Member
He talked about it on a couple occasions. There's also a Booker T 24 type thing
When you put those four together, they had more talent than all of the others combined who came over other than Lance Storm and Booker. I'm not going to count Flair.
Oh shit, wCw matches on Raw! And Invasion? This shit is going to be awesome, the ratings are going to be off the roof. They may have to make sd and raw 3 hours a piece!
It was amusing when he would use a fake British accent as King Booker, then revert back to Booker T whenever he got pissed.
Oh yeah.

I want to give you the 100% on that but I can't lol. Well Booker T had the Dave Chappelle moment about when keeping it real goes wrong.
He had hella heat though, I knew it wasn't real but he would find a way to get me sometimes but I'd laugh afterwards. WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOUST WITH KING BOOKER
ALBERT THE NEW IC CHAMPION!
