oh dear god....I was only joking with sriram last night about how awful it would be if khali were allowed into the match, and now it seems like it is a reality, ffs, waste of time, obviously they cant be bothered to make a real match for him, so he's been slapped in here, and will no doubt do nothing good, gah, hopefully his involvement will be as minimal as possible.

Hahaha. Kane ftw.

It was really Vince's dad and Jim Crockett (SP?)

VInce just stole the thunder. I dislike WWE anyway

 

[Xuhaib]

Haha... this is interesting.

In a clever marketing technique WWE are editing the Great Khali's losses and making him look stronger on Indian broadcasts, in order to capitalize on their growing popularity in the country.

Khali is seen as a national treasure and market stalls, shops and other outlets are making a killing selling Khali merchandise. He is a tremendous hit amongst children who imitate his matches at school.

According to once source Indian's still see wrestling as real in most cases, and they have huge pride in Khali's domination in the WWE.

From a business standpoint Khali is a big asset to WWE and practically drives its popularity in India, so no matter how boring he may become to US fans, he won't be let go anytime soon.

With WWE's recent plan to expand in to China it would be interesting to see if they hire any Chinese stars and do a similar thing.

There are currently no reports of this type of thing happening to anyone else but Khali.

Haha. Does at least provide some sort of explanation as to why we have to sit through his crappy matches week after week.

Wish I was allowed to access YouTube on the staff computers at school. Would kill so much time just watching wrestling. As it is I have to make do with all the imitation sites that have about a millionth of the number of videos.

Don't turn you back on the wolfpac, dunududdundunddnahh

Haha. Was never a WCW man myself, was always a loyal WWF fan, but I've been trying to catch up on what I never watched. Any particular PPVs or events you'd recommend? I've seen most of the obvious stuff, but it's mostly involving Hogan, the NWO or Goldberg. My knowledge of the careers of guys like Sting isn't what it should be.

 

[Majin]

Oh for ****s sake. Jeff Hardy has been suspended for 60 days for failing a wellness policy test. What a ****ing ****.

Haha..was about to get the biggest push of his career and he lets it go down the toilet.

 

[Xuhaib]

Good to see E taking these tests seriously Hardy was a top draw.

Starrcade '97, Bash at the Beach '96 and Halloween Havoc '96 were my favourites when I was younger.

 

[Majin]

Unfortunately not, saw on my usual rumour and news website that a top star had been suspended for 60 days and that WWE were going to be putting it up on their website today, went on to check and there it was.

Haha..was about to get the biggest push of his career and he lets it go down the toilet.

That's what ****s me off the most about this whole thing. He was literally the most over guy in the company, had just been elevated to main event status, was blatantly going to win MitB and be back in the title hunt and have his best run yet and then...this. It's so god damn stupid. Right before Wrestlemania as well. And the people who get shafted most out of this are the fans, the best ladder match guy in the company being out of MitB being the first thing we get screwed over. God damn it.

 

[Barney Rubble]

Seriously, all my respect for Jeff has just gone completely out the window. The guy may have just ruined his shot at being WWE Champion forever, let alone this year. So, so stupid.

Not only am I pissed off with Jeff himself, I'm also pissed off that the MITB match is going to be significantly worse without him, they're going to have to have a different MITB winner (let's face it, Jeff was going to win), he's going to lose all his momentum when he comes back because all the fans are gonna know he was suspended for doing drugs...the list is endless.

Man, that has significantly decreased my excitement about this year in WWE. I was looking forward to Jeff's first title win, now all I've got to look forward to is his return from suspension.

Candidates for new MITB winner anyone? MVP, Kennedy again or Jericho for mine.

 

[Majin]

edit: nevermind, misread something on the website. xD

Wouldn't mind if it was MVP tbh, push him to the next level.

Haha, was literally just about to point out that he was already in there. I think it'll be either Kennedy or Jericho TBH, either that or they'll hotshot someone and make it Carlito or Shelton, or someone equally surprising. This is their chance to do something really unexpected - I hope they don't mess it up.

DDP VS Giant
Any Sting VS Flair match

 

[Xuhaib]

Best WCW stuff is Shockmaster's entrance u-toobe it you guys will not be dissapointed

 

[Xuhaib]
