Well, the thing that gets me the most is that they're apparently introducing a second Women's Championship, for SmackDown only. Horrible, horrible idea IMO. Just cheapens the other one, especially when there's only three Divas on SmackDown who can actually wrestle.
I hadnt thought of it like that tbh, though it is probably true (jury out on delaney)
A 6-man tag title? That's just stupid, I've only heard of one other wrestling promotion that runs one of those these days, and I can't even remember the name of it. That would require some stables, of which we have a grand total of one going around these days. Awful, awful idea.
But a second womens title would be truly terrible, I heard that they also were considering introducing a 6 man tag team championship, another shocking idea, seeing as they can't sustain a decent normal tag team division.
That really is embarrassing, I can't understand what they hope to gain from doing this either, why the hell do they need a new womens title? It just defies all logic, seeing as the womens title already is the least cared about title by anyone, I mean even anyone who tunes in to see the Divas rolling around with each other doesnt give a crap about the belt ffs.
awta, wish they would cut this out tbh, any sort of move that involves a big fall or impact that isnt done in the ring is always done on crash mats, understandable why....but when its so obvious that its NOT on the bare floor it seems kind of pointless that they do this. Best bumps are always inevitably in the ring anyway....also stupid that within a year Umaga has gone from a dominant unstoppable monster heel to being a jobber to pretty much anyone the E choose to give a push. FFS he needs a proper feud in which he goes medieval on someone who is actually worth a crap, though the E's answer to this (as always, sigh) will be "get Chris Jericho to do it" wankers.
TLC was AWESOME. Watch it. HHH-Orton was building up to being really good before Orton got bumped really hard and messed himself up. It's worth watching the ending though, mostly because Orton correctly diagnosed his injury about two seconds afterwards while talking to the ref, and you can clearly hear it. He hits the floor and immediately goes "****! I've broken my collarbone!", and lo and behold, he had.
Yeah. Never liked him as champ compared to last year - one moment he's making Cena his bitch for weeks on end, the next he's eating Sweet Chin Music five weeks in a row as champ. One thing I did read recently was that WWE were scared of a dominant heel champion meaning a drop in ratings, so they wanted to give the impression that there was a chance Orton could lose his title to a face at any point. How about doing that by giving him some credible challengers, perhaps? FFS.
that being said i would recommend it to somoene who would be intrested in reading up on the Hardy's history.
Bit of both, really. It's the ones that seem likely (M.V.P., Umaga, CM Punk) plus the other logical ones. The M.V.P. to RAW one is one I can see happening but really don't want to, whereas stuff like the Y2J one is probably less likely but I would mark out like **** if it did (sledger and I are going to the same SD house show in London in November), and it makes good sense.
I haven't got the DVD, but I've got the 15th Anniversary Show itself on my laptop. The DVD seems decent though, might invest if I can find it cheap. Gonna be buying less wrestling DVDs from now on though, they're way more expensive in England than France. They're usually about £18 over here for a regular PPV, but they're 18 euros in France, which is about £13-14.sledger said:
That really is pretty dumb tbh, because that is the only meaningful match that they have ever won as a team, much as I like them and think to myself "yeah, theyre really decent performers" from time to time, I really struggle to think of a match of any note that they have been in that wasnt one of the TLC matches, and then what is even more strange, is I cannot remember an important match they have won apart from the first ever tag team ladder match, similarly all their runs with the tag team titles have been pretty forgettable as well.
I picked it up in HMV the other day, pretty decent actually, good match between Brett Hart and X-Pac on there, Jericho (not) winning the world title, Austin attacking Mike Tyson and Vince, sigh, good old days, would reccomend, just a shame they didnt include more full length matches really.
