Alot of Sting atm at WWE, signs he has signed

Signs? If that is legit and real, he HAS signed. WWE can't just release media with Sting's name on it without Sting legally allowing it.

That picture makes him look so worn and old...not sure I want to see a match

Its more about seeing the guy on WWE than actually seeing him for his wrestling ability.

not sure if you agree with me or otherwise.

personally i think Russo's legacy is: he did a wonderful job in either get (then) WWE out of the hole they got themselves into (attitude era) and destroying WCW with his over the top, crazy and anarchic bookings and works, resulting in a mess of a storyline.

That's exactly right. Russo was responsible for the Attitude Era in WWF but he was also responsible for the death of WCW; the reason why was because in WWF, he Vince McMahon gave the final approval for everything Russo wrote, so essentially, McMahon filtered out (most of) the crap, whereas in WCW they let him do whatever he wanted. The only upside to TNA is that they thankfully haven't made him head writer again, so hopefully John Gaburick knows which of Russo's bits to approve (edgier storylines, better use of the midcard, etc.) and reject (anything involving an "object on a pole match" or putting a title on a non-wrestler).

 

 

Speaking of putting titles on non-wrestlers, I just read one of Russo's ideas for for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Souled Out 2000 when Bret Hart was injured: doing a rumble match, have Sid Vicious as an early entrant, survive to the final entrant, have Tank Abbott come out and eliminate Sid with a single punch to win the title.  :| No wonder he lost the head writer spot the next day.

He's not in such bad shape as the Undertaker is; also he's in his 50's (55), so it's only natural that he looks like. Unlike Stallone, not every man is having plastic surgeries :)

Wouldn't it be a good idea to start a new wrestling thread?

There are other sections in Neowin that have a Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, etc. of threads.

If that's supposed to be one of those "when you see it..." pictures, it's definitely on Aksana. Or maybe I'm just confusing part of her outfit for a nipple that's lower than usual. :huh:

According to F4WOnline.com, WWE referee Charles Robinson almost lost his thumb while setting up the ring for Friday's WWE live event in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

 
Robinson reportedly sliced his thumb very badly, but WWE's Dr. Chris Amann, who was on the tour, was able to stitch it up.

yeah, i've seen interviews from wrestlers that, in the end days of WCW, on the evening of the live show they didn't even knew who would they wrestle to and who would even win; not only the bookings were screwed but wrestlers winning titles and losing them in the same show isn't good at all.

 

Oh and that David Arquette thing..that was really a bad idea: it devaluated the title into nothing :(

The only thing I remember about Vince Russo from the old WCW days is that he was a f*****g idiot and 0 as a manager. Whoever hires this guy has a suicide wish.

 

P.S. I've seen a lot of people flaming Eric Bischoff for doing a poor job in TNA. You guys need to think about something: this guy was a genius and he DID set standards in the wrestling business. But back then a lot of things weren't done yet, so it was a lot of room for new stuff. These days, I really don't think anyone can bring something new to the table. The level of reality that he achieved with the nwo will never be matched again, because "it's been done before". So what can he really do these days, and with that poor wrestling promotion that takes its last breath these days? Don't blame the guy, think about how much he did and how many times Vince ###### in his pants because of him. ;)
