The Critic Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Just a thought here - do you think they're setting up a Flair heel turn on DX this Sunday? Orton & Edge have conchairtoed him twice now without DX making a save. I'm thinking maybe Flair doesn't join Orton & Edge, but costs DX the match at the PPV as revenge for them not "having his back".

That is quite possible...and what I wouldn't give to see a heel Flair back in his natural element. I feel he's so much better as a heel. I got so spoiled watching ROH tape after ROH tape yesterday that I was all used to good, quality wrestling (i.e. when Low Ki enzuirigied Prince Nana's head off) and then I came home and had to watch Raw. /vomit If Cena beat Umaga in a 4-1 handicap match after receiving a beatdown earlier in the show, how am I to buy Umaga having a shot at beating him at NYR? Regarding the story on WWE hiring a bunch of bikini models, John Laurinaitis and the company want to sign and bring up as many as 20 new women for roles on television over the next three months. This has led to them trying to teach the men and women newcomers in Louisville where most (but not all) of the new women live and work, about wrestling history. Mike Bucci (Simon Dean), who is running the program, gave them a list of names to learn. Here's an idea -- can't they just go for people that have wrestling history and therefore wouldn't have to waste their time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 You know what was the worst thing about the Cena/KFed match? It wasnt a conclusion. This crap is going to continue on, and that POS is going to get more facetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 ECW has a chance tonight to get on the right path. RVD vs. Lashley for the ECW title. RVD could win the title and that would be a good thing but obviously, I doubt that will happen. Someway, somehow, Lashley can go heel. It seems ECW was always better back in the day when they had a heel champion. I was never a Franchise fan but when he or Justin Credible had runs, it was entertaining. As much as the E is not high on RVD now, get it? High? I kill me!, it would be best to put the title back on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I dont know if anyone watched ECW last night, but I think that Kevin Vampire guy hurt Balls Mahoney in the match. It ended really abruptly and Balls was making the X sign on his chest after he got nailed with a forearm shiver across the jaw/collarbone. The end of the RVD/Lashley match had them both crying injury too, but I think that was on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Van Dam / Lashley one was a work because for some reason, the creative team showed sanity and didn't job out RVD to Lashley and they weren't going to take the belt off of Lashley that fast. As for the Mahoney one, he looked legit hurt when he got nailed. Haven't heard anything more about his injury though, so perhaps (and hopefully) he'll work through it. Viva el Chair Swinging Freak!

Yeah, that was quite a shot. Vampire-guy didnt pull his punch on that one at all. Balls went down and immediately crossed his chest, and the ref made the quickest 3 count I have seen since the NWO was running the WCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LowerCaseRepublican Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I hate to say this, but the more I think about it and read about it... It seems K-Fed is really liked by the boys. He hangs out with them in the back, eats with them and is supposedly eager to get advice/criticism from other workers about what he can do to improve his gimmick. Add that into the fact that he played a decent heel on the show for a newb, got Cena to get some damn good face heat live and fans seemed to be giving him heel heat and not "get the Hell off our show" heat...He may be able to become a decent heel if used on occassion. He's no Kaufman by any means of the imagination but he seems to be alright. Trust me, I'm shocked in coming to this realization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how people don't want to see non-wrestlers on the show but... K-Fed was cutting the best promos on the show, outside for Cena. He goes out there and acts like himself, and people want to see him get his. As you know, that's how it f***ing should be. He was awesome. Too bad they killed it off. He should've been bringing in guys to take out Cena, like Heenan used to do w/Hogan.

You certainly are welcome to your opinion, but I have to disagree. Lance is one of the smartest guys in the business. Just because someone wasn't a draw or a huge star doesn't mean their opinion doesn't mean anything. Hell, wrestling is lined with guys who never drew s*** or made it farther than the opening match who know more than the guys on top. As far as Tom Zenk, he used to be on w/Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez all the time, and he was hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, Storm's even said he was never trying to be the huge draw but a solid technician in the ring that put on respectable matches. To say that he's bitter without even reading what he wrote is asinine. His commentary was actually pretty dead on and pretty level headed. To say he's bitter is to not know the situation -- as Ian and I are saying. And K-Fed would be entertaining on the E TV. He was actually getting Cena face pops live. It could be a great Heenan like thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
