It does kinda sound boring, but it's probably pretty much necesarry for most guys if they want to survive 4-5 house shows a week.

Captain Strange posted:Do you guys think the WWE might ever consider doing non-canonical, low-key shows to compete with Indy talent or to spread appeal overseas? It seems they're forever struggling to find places for some of their low and mid card talent. I can't imagine they couldn't turn a profit producing a more indy-style (ie more athletics, less talking), lower budget show under a different brand name. You know, so long as it wasn't HEY KIDS ITS THE NEW WWE INDY - just make their own little indy organisation and not ever talk about it on TV. Hell, just make FCW mobile.

jeffersonlives posted:And this is a bad thing how exactly? You should want the fans to have to buy the PPV to see the important stuff, if your primary goal is to sell PPVs. If you want to start giving important stuff away for free, you can't run monthly PPVs because there just isn't that much to go around. I think you're thinking too much like a bussiness man. Sometimes you're gonna have to sacrifice a few bucks here and there for the sake of making the show not suck. Taking this position will make you a retarded mark by default, but thems' the breaks.

I was just joking around, but I do remember the anouncers selling Luger having metal in his arms. I never thought there was any truth to it though.

Ktik posted:HBK/HHH said the Harris Twins were their protection in the locker room after the match. Neidhart was embarrassed on Raw I think two weeks later then left for WCW. Foley, Taker, and I think one other name (Maybe Vader?) all skipped the Raw the next night. Foley came back when he realized he needed money. If Taker stayed home (he might have, I don't remember all the details), it was probably to back up the guys like Foley who threatened to, sense there's no chance (...in...hell) they would fire him over it.

TL posted:Although while Orton was briefly REALLY over as a face, he quickly had his legs cut out from under him by dropping the belt to Triple H after a month. And I can't really blame them for putting the belt on HHH so quickly, since Randy SUCKED as a face. And HHH sucked at whatever role he took on.

Psychlone posted:I remember watching the KISS Demon on WCW Saturday and didn't think he was that bad. He wasn't great, but he looked intimidating and could work a decent 5-10 minute match. I don't get the hate for the character, other than it was commercialized and hokey. But that's what KISS is. I think if they yould have just called him the "The Demon" and let the KISS connection speak for itself, the giant TM tatooed on his forehead wouldn't have bugged people as much.

A gif was made of it and I need that gif and maybe even what show it was on. Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? Ok what the hell, sombody get off their rear end and pull this out of their gif folder. Jerusalem, Hulkamatt, come on.

Alan_Shore posted:I've heard a lot of negative things about Goldberg here, like how he doesnt care for the business, getting into fights with people backstage, taking himself too seriously. But on the Rise and Fall of WCW I was really surprised to see him come cross very well in his interview segments. So what's going on here? Stuff does come up here and there, but that's just because was really high profile. He's barely on the charts when in comes to dickhead wrestlers.

Like it didn't look bad to me, just that Goldberg hit his first real challenge in the technical master Regal. Even though I thought Regal was just a creepy fat British guy with a lovely haircut. He just seemed so good at rasslin! Ditto. I was always confused as to why Regal never went anywhere after that (until I started posting here).

Dragging Iron Feet posted:Bit off-topic, but can you guys tell me the best way to set up tournament brackets? I'm trying to set up the Match of the Decade tournament and can't seem to do it right. I say just do a point system like they're doing for the WH2K yearly awards. Brackets will just end up knocking out serious contenders in the first round, and there's no good way to rank stuff when it's all over.

AKA Driver posted:Scheduling-wise, how did the WWE think it was a good idea to put a PPV on Tuesday, not once, but twice, with Taboo Tuesday? Was there a specific reason that they did a mid-week PPV like this that was going to be difficult to work around fans schedules (DVRs were fairly rare in people's homes in 2004. Sure, you could tape it, but where's the fun in ordering a PPV just to watch it on tape later)? Just wanted to see if they could get away with it? Hell, I work sunday nights, it'd be nice to catch a PPV every now and then. During the week might be a nice place to stick a lower budget PPV or two just to mix things up.
