longshot7 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you didn't like the MITB match then maybe you need to question whether or not you like wrestling at all. What a great, fun, spot-filled car wreck (in a good way). One of the best MITBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a great, fun, spot-filled car wreck (in a good way). One of the best MITBs. I'm not a big fan of gimmick matches, so that's not really my litmus test of wrestling fandom. I'm more about the promos, a good solid storyline that doesn't rush or drag (hard to find, but always worth it), good matchups and a light dusting of crazy spots. I don't really like spotfests, because IMO it diminishes the impact of the high-risk or daredevil moves overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) If you didn't like the MITB match then maybe you need to question whether or not you like wrestling at all. What a great, fun, spot-filled car wreck (in a good way). One of the best MITBs. I love spotfests, ladder matches, extreme rules. But this year, the MITB was plain boring. YES there was a few good spots, mainly involving kofi and shelton. But it was rushed, no time, no suspense, no blood (not that i NEED blood, but it always helps), nothing. This was IMO the worst MITB i've seen. I guess thats what you get when you put kane, henry in it. The main thing for me with it - it was just no suspense, I was waiting and waiting for cm punk to get knocked off and continue the match for anther 10 minutes, and he just gets the briefcase. Similar to HHHvOrton, just ended. EDIT: Also IMO just because the match had some spots, it doesnt mean its a good match. The key for a succesful ladder match is to have it ran fluently Edited April 8, 2009 by CryptviLL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHizzle85 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Smackdown was actually really good last night. Good start to the build up for Edge/Cena & another very entertaining match between the Hardy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 im so sick of the wwe product right now. It tricks me. There is like 5% of the show that i REALLY want to watch, or and about 25% things i hope to happen, and those things never do. It just keeps pulling me in, making me watch every monday, and it just never gets better to me. There is just countless things they do for the PG rating and to get ratings, its sickening what they have changed the business to. I just cant stand it, but like i say - i keep getting pulled back for the 5% of the things that are awesome (see hbk v. taker, or most the things y2j has done recently, minus the whole wrestlemania boring legends match) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHizzle85 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Bourne/Mysterio should of really been given more time last night. Swagger/Cena was semi-entertaining...well until the SuperCena finish. The handicap match was TNA-like. If these guys wanted Orton so bad why couldn't they wait until they all get their hands on him at Backlash. As for the picks, MVP will work...he's been long overdue to go over to RAW. Matt Hardy going over to Raw will work only if they give him a good program to work with. Punk going to SD works for me, as long as he'll be feuding with Edge that is. The Miz/Morrison split worked, except the wrong guy got drafted to Raw. Morrison the better of the two is still on ECW for the time being, I don't see this going well for Miz. It'll be interesting to see how Jericho is used on Smackdown. Also, last night Todd Grisham took a shot at Tommy Dreamer saying that he's as much of a legend as the Brooklyn Brawler. 2 ways this was stupid. 1. Why would you bury a face? 2. Why would you completely discredit someone who was there from the original ECW days on & helped put that company on the map. Maybe i'm a little more opinionated on it since I grew up on the original ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, I find lately that each show (Raw, Impact and SmackDown) has about the same amount of decent stuff and lame s***. Don West has been my biggest problem with Impact lately, so if Taz replaces him, that raises the show up a lot of notches for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to tell either way. he didnt have a lot of time to get better, he was in and out of the WWE pretty quick, and most of the time he was in the WWE he was being held off of television because UPN didnt want him on. Regardless, he cut some pretty good promos, and he wasnt afraid of the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
