Sent you a PM about it, but another thing is that I think you'll need at least a week between stuff or you still run the same risk of burn out - six hours of any kind of wrestling over a two day period risks overkill, no matter how good the matches.

You're right and it's going to give me time to plan things out. I'll also be revising my toxx timeframe. So my stuff is pending.

MassRayPer posted:They need to do something else with Mark Henry. He is completely useless in his role, and in fact hurts the development of other wrestlers. He's a mid card babyface with some name value so he's a logical person for new heels to beat. But, he sucks. So the heels don't look good going over him. Look at the match with Wade last summer. It's not all his own fault, he is big and that makes it hard to work with him. Especially with more difficult finishers to execute like Barrett's. It is like you really want to say something positive about Mark Henry and the role he should have, but you just hate him too much to get there. Hating Mark Henry makes sense, sure--and this coming from someone who proudly owns and still wears a "Sexual Chocolate" t-shirt. But like a lot of people who do not seem to have good matches who, by all rights, should be able to have good matches, why not do something actually interesting with him that plays to his strengths (literally)? Reviving the "Holly Cousins" super-heavyweight gimmick in reverse would probably result in who knows how many months of awesome matches with him. For those who do not remember: they claimed to be super-heavyweights and carried a scale to the ring to force their opponents to prove they were in the appropriate weight class to wrestle them. Mark Henry claiming to be a bantamweight lucha wrestler and refusing to wrestle anyone over 200 pounds would have magnificent results; he has definitely had good matches against small people (shocking, I know). He has not, however, had any good press-slam matches against Viscera.

CSammich posted:This is true in general but not always. Mark Henry and Big Show notably got 10 year guaranteed deals. I'm pretty sure the WWF started giving out guaranteed deals around 1996 due to competition from WCW and eventually stopped when WCW went out of business. I recall Mick Foley mentioning how he got a contract with no guaranteed money and then two weeks later, Marc Mero jumped to the WWF and got guaranteed money.

When did Taker's streak actually become "the streak"? ... and by that I mean both A.) When did fans start taking note of it, and B.) When did WWE start playing it up for Taker's mania feuds?

DannoMack posted:So which contracts are the worst in wrestling history? Actually, let's make that WWE history because allowing WCW into that mix would be too easy. Mark Henry has been mentioned, and Marc Mero got a tonne of money too and nothing came of him, right? Who are the Vernon Wells of the WWE? How about Hall's, Nash's, and Hogan's contracts from 2002? You have a drunk bastard, a walking injury and a guy with a giant sized ego, what could could go wrong? Well, Hall was released a few months into his contract. Nash tore his quad just a few months in, and though he did return(it wasn't for a year),he was placed in a boring feud with Triple H in 2003(then released). Hogan went onto try to relive his glory days, but that ran out of steam pretty quick, and then he was released over a money dispute(anytime Hogan gets 'released'). I was actually excited for a new NWO, but how can you have it when the 3 main members are useless?

The worst WWF contract of all time was probably whatever money they gave to Ultimate Warrior to return in 1996.

I am not sure if its the best or the worst but WCWs contract for the Genius. The best due to the face that he got paid a poo poo load to poo poo at home. The worst due to the fact that he got paid a poo poo load to sit at home while others had to bust there asses for less pay.

Weren't they the 3 only members that time around? Had they tacked anyone else even marginally more dependable onto it it might have run for a little while longer. As for the contract thing, aren't most Legends contracts just WWE paying retired wrestlers to not do or say anything wrestling-related without their consent?

I remember Nash got injured at WM18 and he didn't even have his own match, it was Hall's squash loss to Austin. They had Booker T, Xpac, Big Show and HBK join up... ahh yeah you're right. The angle wasn't even worth it after WM 18 once Hogan left anyways. But then again, this was the WWE getting desperate for any kind of business spike after the Invasion fell flat.

Rarity posted:You are the reason I said "pretty much all" and not "all" Pneub posted:HHH's loving leg man, holy poo poo. The DVD (and video tape) bonus features showed him getting it patched up, backstage, it looked like a bullet hole. Pneub posted:To add on to that, he made it to the top on his own wrestling talent and skill at back-stage politics. He stayed at the top ten years past his prime because he married the bosses' daughter. I don't think it's fair to insinuate he over stayed his welcome either, I think now is the right time for him to retire, but he should have evolved his role in the company during the last ten years in light of what he had to contribute to younger stars and his physical condition.

I specifically remember Taker saying he'd beaten everyone and HHH coming out to say he'd never beaten him. Or the other way round, I forget. Also: "This is my yard" "Your yard is in the middle of my ring" So, pretty much what you said.

Nor do I think it's unrealistic to expect them to not bury their entire roster while the Shovel sits in the ring and has a dick waving contest with the Undertaker.

I know you're into promos and stuff, which is fine, but if that's seriously the driving force behind why you're watching wrestling maybe you should just watch Mad Men or Breaking Bad or something, instead of telling the wrestling fans who want to watch the thing they're fans of that they're just expecting too much of pro wrestling. If you went to a show and the band spent the majority of their set engaging in between-song banter, would you be okay with that?
