Good enough they ought to go to UFC but for a guy like me who has actually grown up seeing Iron Sheikh going at it with Hogan. In all my days of watching wrestling i have never seen anyone cut a better promo than Iron sheikh or have better in ring capability than him. There may have been some before him (of which i dont know) but since only Angle, Benoit and now DB come close. What i mean is that WWF/E has a sort of sentimental value for me coz i idolised some of these guys and i love the business (i stopped watching when they threw out Mr.Kennedy.... a real star player sacrificed at the altar of nepotism) now i started again with this year's royal rumble mainly coz of DB, jericho's return and to certain extent Punk's pipe bombs lol.

Oh boy, a "back in the day, there were no playstations; we played with a stick!" kinda guy.

Iron Sheik and Hogan were legends. Exactly that: Legends. They are the past. Im not saying the present or the future is/will be better but you need to forget those days. A lot of people here (including myself) when we see blood, we HOPE the WWE will go back to the Attitude era but we have to realize that is not going to happen. It was good while it lasted.

Mr. Kennedy is now (AFAIK) in TNA. You are more than welcome to watch TNA :) Noone is forcing you to watch WWE and there are no storylines between WWE and TNA at all.

Brock Lesnar's match with John Cena at Sunday's Extreme Rules pay-per-view got rave reviews from most fans who saw the show, but Lesnar went ballistic backstage after the match and was screaming at WWE officials and ripping apart the locker room.

According to PWinsider.com, the huge blow-up took place because of the promo John Cena cut after the match.

The original plan was for Cena to be so badly hurt by Lesnar that even though he won, he would be stretchered out, which would keep Lesnar looking strong.

Lesnar perceived Cena's speech as a double cross by WWE officials and totally lost it backstage.

The angle on RAW with Lesnar and Triple H and Lesnar's temporary departure from WWE television was the plan all along, but relations between Lesnar and WWE are not good at the moment.

:|

Well, Calum thought it was part of the storyline so now here is a debate :p A speech like that made no sense at all on air and the original plan was indeed more natural.

I wouldnt trust Lesnar as his guy seems like a shooter and a total *******.

If HHH's arm was broken/dislocated/fractured no one would be able to hold it. R-Truth did a horrible job of selling the injury but grabbing his arm repeatedly.

The injury is indeed fake but imagine if Lesnar applies it correctly (hurting someone).....

If his arm was really broken, Brock would be in a lot of trouble for assaulting the CEO]/s] COO. Remember, storyline!

Fixed :p

Well, in part you are right but remember that Brock just came from a sport where you are suppose to hurt someone.......FOR REAL. Going from REAL to FAKE sometimes the transition is difficult. Shamrock was able to do it but some arent...

I guess i didnt get my point across. I am not saying Bring back the attitude era... even though it will be better (its never coming back because of WWE now being a public company and Linda trying to get a republican seat in umm... cant remember where) what i am saying is that guys are not being given enough time to build up feuds and not being given enough time to actually make a real great entertaining match. Hogan and Skeik were working everything... submissions, suplexes, throws you name it they did it. What i am saying is that majority of matches are missing that 'variety' that keeps people hooked. Most matches these days are 'Slam Bam Thank you Mam' kind and that is because of minimal in ring skill. People might cut good promos (Cena cuts some good promos but he cant carry someone atleast not well enough... which you need to do in a good 'entertaining' match). That is all i meant.

I am not asking bring back the attitude era or anything like that i am just saying start emphasizing things that got WWE such a strong following from 80s onwards which was a combination of good mic skills and more than good ring skills.

I believe that DB and Punk will show that if a wrestler has good mic skills and very good in ring attributes he will get over with the crowd by himself (Even though they are pretty much over already)

Dont think he will survive much longer if he keeps on getting goldberg chants lol WWE doesnt like to be reminded of its failures

I wonder if anyone will start doing Sean O'Haire chants when Damien Sandow makes his debut then. :p

That's not serious, BTW. Although I would say Damien Sandow's gimmick is sort of a cross between O'Haire, Matt Striker, and Christopher Nowinski.

EDIT: Hallelujah, the thread has been fixed for me! :woot: My posts show up straight away again, and I'm finally getting email notifications again! :D

    • AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      AirPods Pro 3 are now available for only $179 by Taras Buria Apple's third-gen AirPods Pro 3 introduced a few important upgrades over the previous generation while retaining the old $249 price. Still, that is quite a lot of money for a pair of earbuds, but the good news is that right now, you can save quite a lot of money on them, thanks to a new all-time low price. AirPods Pro 3 retain their classic look and form factor, with changes focused on the inside. These earbuds now come with five sets of foam-silicone tips, which sit much more securely in your ear, making the earbuds a perfect choice for physical activities and workouts. Additionally, new tips provide better passive noise cancellation. Speaking of noise cancellation, ANC is now much better at blocking outside noise, with Apple claiming the AirPods Pro mute up to two times more sound than the AirPods Pro 2. The AirPods Pro 3 also have heart rate sensors for activity tracking during workouts. They also support Live Translation and Hearing Aid mode. As for battery life, you get up to 8 hours on a single charge, with the case adding 20 more. The case supports wireless (Qi or Apple Watch charger) and wired charging over USB Type-C (cable not included).

    • [Official] Doctor Who Thread

      Everything I have read is that the BBC is still Pro Doctor Who but wants a solid plan before they let anyone else try to do it. Which is fair.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame

      By +Good Bot, Bad Bot · Posted

      I totally agree no one should trust governments AND big tech companies that have near monopolies in certain market segments. The difference is of course citizens at least have some say in government. Yes, requiring Apple to open up Sirsi to other AI backends is in the interest of EU customers and certainly "opens" up the platform a crack. What are you saying? I wish the US would regulate tech companies more here and even break them up in some cases. Granted trusting the government to do it right is a crap shot at best but what is the alternative? To allow a few tech companies to continue to run everything and just print money? It's crazy to me for example that in most of the world 99% of communications go thru Facebook servers via WhatsApp. What kind of dystopian world are we living in?
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By _neutrino · Posted

      You can.. make sure you have ADB tools on whatever OS you are running, plug your phone into your PC give it approval to talk to the phone then run this command. adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.chrome So long as you leave Android Webview untouched it wont break anything on your Phone to do this. I have been using exclusively Firefox mobile since it was released.
    • Popular Windows 11 file manager Files gets improved tags, layouts, and new OneDrive icon

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      If it ain't broke, don't fix it. One Commander Free also available in the Store has been my goto Files Manager for years. It does what I need at a more than reasonable speed. I do occasionally use Files Explorer just because it is there and does what I need without any problems when I use it.
