Always strikes me as really random as I only generally see you post in here 'cause it's the only other place outside of the CWXI forums I pay attention to and in this thread you're always sound, and then I can never find a reason for you being banned so it spins me out to no end. :laugh:

haha they actually showed a clip of that on RAW the other night, looks even worse when you see it on TV rather than the internet, hope someone got fired for that one, more likely though that they got a payrise and a promotion, and then thought of the Eugene character.

Someone did get fired. Heidenreich, on charges of rape at the workplace.

Later, him and Austin, who got fired on charges of wife-beating outside the workplace, got along well.

yeah, I heard that they met up with Kane/HHH and Katie Vick the other night and had a great time.

haha indeed, I remember that bombed so badly, way to kill of kanes character as well, another occasion when WWE booking has been terrible. Kane should have picked up the world title there, as he was mega over at the time and got huge pops every week. Another time good old Paul has stepped in and buried someone more over than himself.

yea good to see kane getting his title run now...but it looks like CM Punk is being buried for now, he loses at KOTR and loses out in the world heavyweight championship challenge...bad booking in my opinion...but seriously when is FInlay gonna get his big push, being waiting for it since ages:huh: ...and undertaker being stripped of the belt, is that for real cos i heard this was gonna be a long championship run as well...lets see what happens

strange to see that Punk is being given loads of air time at the moment, appearing on every show this week, but yet he's been jobbing a lot, which is strange. Stupid really that the most over guys in the company at the moment are Matt Hardy, Punk and Kane, hopefully the E will see sense and axe big dave batista and get him out of the world title scene for good. Thought RAW last week was pretty decent actually, despite the terrible ratings it got.

The last SD! was pretty good. They actually spent most of the show wrestling :-O

Loved the Edge swerve at the end. Edge v Taker part 3, although I hope this is the blowoff match right here.

I imagine this will be the blow off match, I wouldnt have thought they will push this feud much longer, would go stale quite soon I imagine. Taker to win the blow off and then hopefully a decent challenger will come out of somewhere.

Problem with WWE in general at the moment, is that there are no real genuine characters, everyone seems to simply fall under a generic face/heel category, in which they all act in the same way "all do the right thing", or all cheat despicably and attack the ref, the only thing that differentiate each superstar is their catchphrase (I.e: "KENNEEDDDDDY!!!" or whatever...)...(and i'd exclude the undertaker and possibly HBK from this as well)

What highlights this the most, is the fact that a guy who is meant to be mega over (batista,cena etc..) gets a pretty subdued/crap reaction from a crowd because they are just dull personalities (though imo cena works the mic great and all that), whereas someone like matt Hardy, is mega over due to the fans genuinely marking out for him due to all the involvement with edge and lita, and have genuinely identified with him, and yet he is only on the mid-card. It seems that gone are the days when Y2J would come out and run his mouth (whether face or heel) and it seem great, because nobody else would do it like him, whereas now, a face will come out, say something about how they are going to win title/retain title/give the fans what they want/ do the right thing etc... obviously in wrestling you need this, but it just seems so boring and similar at the moment.

That's because no one writes their own promos anymore. It used to be, atleast during the Smackdown Six/Heyman era at the latest, that the workers were given certain points to touch upon, and the rest was in their hands.

Now the E just has writers do all the promos. Obviously, the characters are all going to sound the same if it's the same team scripting everyone's promos.

haha wasnt actually aware of this tbh, thought that all the promos were heavily scripted at all stages in wwe history, though the fact that they werent always makes sense. Its a shame we don't get to see the Undertaker do more things with the mic tbh, the downside to his deadman character though I suppose.

Last nights RAW looks fairly decent, return of Jeff Hardy sounding like a high point. Interestingly it seems that neither Y2J or HBK have been turned heel, looks like their match at Judgement Day will be face vs face, or at very best tweener vs face, which is a shame, still should be a decent match, though I bet its booked badly and Jericho is squashed.

The RAW promo they had for Michaels v Chris wasn't good at all. Killed what little momentum they had previously for mine. Although Shawn giving him the SCM and getting one over him gave me a little hope that Chris might be due something later in the feud.
