I stopped watching pretty much at the same time, but I am kind of mad i missed the cage match

Bob Holly came pretty damn close to being entertaining last night - he fell just short of it, but he came closer than he ever has for me.

I thought Carlito was even better with his "wig". I have no idea how he kept that on his head though

I know!!

Maybe Hornswoggle hid in Carlito's hair and held the wig in place!

 

I hate to admit it, but Hornswoggle actually has grown on me a little bit. I used to hate seeing him come down the ramp, but it actually makes me laugh sometimes now

that Diva segment was sooooooooooooooo dumb. what a freaking waste. At least, use the roulette wheel to give us something good. Hardy/Umaga shouldn't have been the only good thing last night.

 

I like where they are going with William Regal's character

Trips is the most hated man in the locker room at the moment, lately because he refused to put over Ric Flair in North Carolina. He's also been reported as being against Jericho being back, especially since Stephanie McMahon was one of the main people pushing for him to be back.

I don't buy that for a second. He put over Jeff Hardy at the PPV! Why would Vince want him to get pinned two matches in a row? That's just stupid.

 

Ric escapes - that's the storyline. The Regal ending played into that. Also, Trips is out of the Royal Rumble.

 

 

Geez..... sometimes the guy gets no credit. Trips has done what's right for the business for YEARS now.

Like the complete squash of King Booker at SummerSlam right? Or dominating Regal this past Monday?

 

It seems that he only does things that's right for him and his buddies. They could've easily had Regal go back to the heel he once was, and turn it into a pretty good match at the Rumble. But he killed any hopes of that this past Monday.

 

He also could of easily done the job against Flair. It wouldn't of hurt HHH's character at all.

Any ideas?

Big Show? Sid?

 

Although it's been reported that Chris Harris has agreed to come over to WWE. Except I don't think he'd be returning, it would be his first run with the WWE.

Ron Killings and Chris Harris

This.

 

Just saw on LoP that Killings will make 80K downside guarantee.

 

Also saw, for you Maria fans, that she is confirmed to pose for Playboy, will be on the cover, and the mag will hit stands in March as part of WrestleMania promotion.

Welllllllllllellllll....well it's the Big Show!!!

 

I really thought he was finished the way he was talking. Didn't he do some bitter interviews towards the WWE after he left?

I believe so, but i'm sure Vince's checkbook changed his mind REAL quick.

Who did it hurt for Trips at Summerslam? It was his return match! He's not gonna lose that. And Booker was a heel!

 

Regal is not a draw - putting him in a ppv match with HHH is a joke.

 

And they didn't NEED him to lose to Flair - so what's the problem?

 

.......some people will complain no matter what you do..........

No, he didn't. He never said anything bad about them. His back was bothering him and apparently now it's better.

I could have sworn I read the same story as Brian.

 

I think it was mostly due to the TNA rumors circulating when the Big Show left, but I dont think there was any validity to the Big Show being unhappy with WWE

 

Here is the press release, I got it on Inside Pro Wrestling

 

WWE.com has announced that the Big Show is leaving WWE. While they term it as a break to recharge, Show’s WWE contract is said to expire in February 2007.

 

According to Big Show, he has been plagued by a multitude of injuries from herniated discs to torn muscles, but has still competed through the pain. “I’ve reached a point in my career right now where I am a little run down and hurt pretty bad physically,” explained the Big Show. “I’ve been wrestling the past three months pretty much in pain every night. I can’t compete at the level I want to compete at, and that’s the most heartbreaking thing.” Despite his display of supremacy, Big Show claimed that his performance in the ring has not been at his full potential. It is this that has driven the immense competitor to step away from WWE for now.

 

 

The Big Show expressed interest in working with WWE Films. “I’d like to do a WWE movie – a comedy – because I have a pretty good sense of comedic timing. I’m a pretty humble, lovable, funny, easy-going guy with a short fuse. Then again, like Chris Rock said, nobody wants to laugh at a big guy who could beat your [expletive delete].”

 

This is bad news for WWE/ECW. My only question is weather or not Heyman’s dismissal playing into this decision to step away from the ring. Is this Show’s way of telling Vince that he treated Heyman badly? Could this mean a Heyman/Show defection to TNA? I will miss the Big Show and his performances. I would enjoy seeing him try his hand in movies, especially comedy. He has had several funnny skits on WWE TV and was pretty funny when he crashed The Rock’s SNL appearance with Triple H. Readers comment about your thoughts and ideas about the Big Show’s future.

 

He seemed ok with the situation, just wanted to perform at his highest level and injuries were preventing this. If he had problems with the WWE, I dont think he would have mentioned working in a WWE movie
