looks like something I'd like to see maybe.
But why is Stone Cold turning into Heihachi Mashima on the cover there?
I hate being in the corner. Looking through the turnbuckle/ringpost the entire match is not fun. But then again, maybe I'm spoiled.
Amazing that we're still sick of this annoying child entertainer after 7 years and not once did they do anything to change him.
It'll be a glorious day when he finally retires
Wait, what? I thought it was supposed to be in TO? Or was that July's?
So within 7 years his merchandise hasn't gone down one bit?
Vinces hatred of Toronto rears it's ugly head again. They keep changing their minds on where they are hosting that PPV and what they are even going to call it.

They're still continuing with the MITB PPV? I guess that confirms the Johnny Ace/Teddy Long Tag Team match at Wrestlemania.

Would let Tony Parker sleep with his wife

At least Toronto still gets a PPV semi-regularly.
The rest of Canada isn't given that courtesy
Is he paid different salaries for being a wrestler and his production duties?

I don't even want to know how his Sledgehammer comes into play here
Yes, he does. He also works way less dates, I believe. Plus, there is also royalties from merchandise.
EDIT: I just saw the end of SD! DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah when I said I didn't give a shit if dream kept posting observer newsletters, just that posting the thing wholesale was a bit tacky, to dream directly in this thread that actually meant the exact opposite of the words posted.

I don't know, it sounds like fun to me,
plus Kane might get an actual WM match instead of being lobbed in a multi man brawl for the umpteenth time.

We need some more pics of the Bellas. I love them, Brie more specifically. I think she even lives in NYC so I might have a chance....(yes I would let her pee on me all she wants)
Yeah, but it's clear he's jobbing.
It's just like Glenn Jacobs. He's going to spend the last year or so of his career putting as many people over as he can. Thanks for caring about the business Glenn.

I'll never forgive Kane for cementing Chavo in jobber status at Wrestlemania 24

Yeah it was a good show. Only complaint is too much time was given to the women. I do not need 2 women's matches on one Impact. More Aries is always a good thing. And we got a missing Abyss angle which could be interesting. What was up at the beginning with Kurt Angle and those index cards? He was acting gonzo.

Will you stop? It's time I made a phone call to a person with red text. I like japanese animation, so duckroll will listen to me.
So if he posted the Observer along with a few sparkling animations and maybe used a different color for the text to compliment the sparkling animations, would that be okay with you officer?
That's good, actually.
But, we all know who's going to come out on top.

He's going on a mission to put over WWE's top faces, what a guy. He'd make good Sheamus fodder somewhere down the line if need be.Yeah, but it's clear he's jobbing.It's just like Glenn Jacobs.

Kane can put over many people but not Chavo, no one can successfully get Chavo over, not even being part of the fabled Smackdown six of 2002 could save him and that's why he was victim to Hornswoggle for like an entire year.

Damn. He's one of the actual "big guys" that I would actually prefer having in the ring unlike Ezekiel Jackson and Mason Ryan.NoDQ.com said:
It's just sad cause no one else does it. Taker, HHH, HBK, none of these guys put people over on their way out. Hell, I'm sure Big Show will probably be squashing people on his way out. Glenn is a great guy (even with his questionable politics, lol), and I wish more guys viewed the business like he does.
So I guess after that huge push, Vince wanted him to suck it up and go with it.
Man...

Mark Henry made a fantastic turn around last year that I would never have expected, it's a shame to see how fast they've had him fall down the ranks since his title reign, but that's pretty much how it goes for the WWE big men wrestlers.
Though him leaving soon probably isn't that bad if it does happen because he's likely to fall back into the role of jobbing just like the last few years if he stays.
This makes me realize that Henry, Show, Kane and Taker are very much near the end of their permanent WWE tenures (though I probably could have said this 5 years ago as well) and WWE has no good big men left to fill the void, damn it Umaga why did you have to pop your clogs?!
Big show is pretty good for putting people over as well, not as good but he takes the losses as the Rhodes storyline is currently highlighting.
As long as Taker is in deadman form he's never putting anyone over, I think the few years of Biker Taker alone one up the rest of his entire career as far as helping the upcoming talent goes, I guess the Deadman gimmick has too much mystique to be handily defeated by say Ziggler for example so WWE keep him well protected
HBK could have done more, he seemed to always put over champions as opposed to people on the way up, HHH is HHH so yeah, no such luck there bar a few WM main events.

Henry getting injured when he gets a push is nothing new. It happens every fucking time. The guy needs to retire.
I can't remember BikerTaker putting anyone over with the exception of Lesnar and Stone Cold, honestly. Big Show sucks, no one cares who he puts over, lol. I bet HHH & HBK think putting over Cena counts, lol. Hell, even Edge didn't put anyone over, but he had an abrupt end so I won't count it.
It's just Jericho and Kane that put people over, really, and they don't care, because they know they'll be over huge, no matter what. I think some of these guys are just huge marks for themselves, and think winning and losing actually matter. You're at the end of your career, and no one will really care about you ten years from now. Your legacy is cemented, and will essentially be determined by how the WWE chooses to market and remember you, not your win/loss record. At least I can say that Taker put over Kane huge three straight times, which has NEVER happened in Taker's career previously. Lose against an opponent three straight times? Unheard of for him.
Yes saying posting the entirety of a subscriber newsletter at once is a bit tasteless or tacky is exactly the same as wanting high-end production values in someone's posts okay
Damn, that really sucks. Cut off and then leaves just as he found his groove with a great gimmick that really suited him. Same type of thing that happened with Brotista, just without the injury.

Kane was 100% ruined when he started jobbing to Snitsky. Gene Fucking Snitsky. The first time I saw Snistky I thought he was one of those local jobbers that WWF use to hire in the 80's/90's during WWF Superstars.
And I thought everyone hated biker Taker. I don't know a single person that liked that generic DOA gimmick. Ministry Taker was the most interesting Taker, but old skool grey taker was my fav.

What are you talking about? He won the damn match, lol. Don't give me that, "you don't have to lose to put someone over" crap. Besides, it was only about a year previously that Taker was SQUASHING the whole Hardy Boyz. Hell, I remember he no sold a kick to the nuts by Lita, lol.
To be fair, he only lost to him once, and that was so he could have an excuse to get knee surgery and film See No Evil. After he returned, he beat Snitsky like three times straight, and even squashed him in ONE minute a year later. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYXAV33RZs0host said:
