I see were you're coming from. but that would be awesome, though: The "Backstage Brawl" is a match-type that is far too under-utilized in my opinion.

Regarding the WWE future of Joey Mercury, he is scheduled to be a full-time "jobber to the stars" singles wrestler on SmackDown upon his return, which is scheduled for February. He appeared to have lost his push during the Heyman/Lagana transition. Furthermore, Mercury was actually on the verge of being released from the company, but Heyman wanted to push him in ECW. Head ECW writer Dave Lagana isn't too interested in using him, so he let SmackDown have him. Also, Lagana wants Gene Snitsky in the spot Joey Mercury was supposed to have in ECW.

That is such a stupid idea. Mercury has proven what he will go through for the WWE, and after all that they turn him into a jobber. The WWE should push a MNM and Hardy feud very lightly through the months which will culminate at Wrestlemania. With all that talent in the ring, it could steal the show.

Man imagine if the members of this club were the writers for WWE. Not only would we be filthy rich with our great ideas, we would pull the company out of the toilet.

I don't think I'd be good in an executive or creative role at WWE, as Smackdown! vs. RAW's General Manager mode has taught me.

I'd be better suited as a commentator, interveiwer or manager. I haven't wrestled before, so I don't think I could do that.

Hi guys. I want to tell you something, I recently purchased the Three-Disk Bret Hart DVD at the music world in the Yorkdale shopping mall earlier today.

i couldnt see anyone in this club in any role for the wwe..
all this club seems to be is people trying to be the fastest to copy/paste news from wrestling websites with no real opinions or creativity of their own.
what makes any of you think you would be any good in any role in the wwe?
no one here has shown any potential at all that i have noticed.
aviewaskewed is the only person in here with an opinion and it doesnt seem to be based on anything.
you should all stick to watching the wrestling, you might manage to do that ok.
:P

Really? Not even me? Wow I was sure I had enough opinions about this stuff to at least get a mention. Oh well. :P back at ya pal, and a :) too!

I really liked the Bret Hart DVD you just got LK, it is an awesome buy. It was cool to see some of those old matches and when he was a tag team with The Anvil.

Heat is featuring the ladder match between Jeff and Nitro. Definatly worth seeing again.

My opinions are based on my own observations of watching the shows and observing the business for the last 13 years or so. It's amazing to me how many people who are just fans of the business can come up with ideas that just seem so good and simple to me, yet WWE creative seems deadset on convulted story telling, bad comedy, and soap operaish nonsense. Is it really so hard to find reasons for grown men to want to fight each other? I don't think it is. WWE has proven they can fuck up a wet dream these days, it's evidenced by the amount of dream angles they've managed to fuck up in the last 5 plus years. They fucked up a feud with WCW, they fucked up the rebirth of ECW, they've fucked up countless builds for new stars, and most of their shows are now showing a "rock bottom" trend in their ratings (the only one seeming to gain is SD! but that's probably only because the existing pool of fans is hearing it's a show worth watching again). I don't armchair book very much because I think without the conversation having turned that way, or people being really hardcore into the business, most people don't care to hear it.

As far as Mercury goes, dosen't surprise me one bit at this point. The writers in WWE all have their own tastes, and I think you can tell fairly quickly who is and isn't a person who understands conventional wrestling, but then again to, the job of creative is to entertain Vince Mcmahon, and push who Vince wants pushed. Michael Hayes has figured out a way to please Vince, yet still have a decent wrestling show, good for him, now if only the rest of them could figure it out...

WWE plans on giving Snitsky a makeover when they send him to WWECW. Read below to find out more.

The Wrestling Observer newsletter reports that Gene Snitsky is headed to WWECW.

Along the way, Snitsky will receive a new look as part of WWE's plan to make him what sources describe as a heel version of Kane.

The makeover is expected to include shaving his signature goatee and changing his hairstyle (possibly by shaving him bald).

What are your thoughts on this?

hey guys,

I'll be polite, as I've been assured by someone who worked with him a few times that he's capable of much more then he's shown. Making a guy into a copy of another guy does have some potential for working (just look at JBL, he's blatantly ripped off Ted Dibiase and made that work for him), but that doesn't work when the guy is still on the active roster. Copying from Kane after he's gone a year or better from the roster would be potentially good for Snitsky as people would have had time to miss Kane and sort of forget his character a bit. But to do it while he's still active is just going to make a guy who's stock is already in the toilet just get flushed the rest of the way. I'd like to see them prove my ass wrong because new and more interesting characters is something the business needs right now, but I just don't see that happening for Snitsky if they go the route of him copying from someone on the main roster.

So they want to make a copy of a copy? Keep in mind that Kane is somewhat of a copy himself, that of the Undertaker. Same finishers and a few signiture moves. But at least they made him different enough to have his character catch on. I'm not so sure Snitsky could pull it off. And really a copy of Kane... Is that really the best WWE creative could come up with? Do they really have to go through all that to label him a monster? He's already a big dude who is kinda scary looking. They can't come up with some sort of new monster type?

Well, if they had maybe kept his monster push going after that really ill-advised "he made Lita miscarry" storyline, they might have him a legit monster on his own now and maybe be able to say "see? Some of these storylines the so called 'smart fans' hate actually ARE good ideas in the long run", but no, they didn't push him, didn't really give him a chance, and once Kane was seeded off to feud with Edge (and then he got bumped off when Matt Hardy came back) Snitsky got totally lost in the shuffle, plus, it's not like he was showing a huge amount to begin with, but still. Limited guys can get over if the booker(s) show they've got a real interest in making that happen.

Bob Backlund & Former WCW wrestler Disco Inferno are going to be the judges for the finals of the Paparazzi Championship Series at Final Resolution. Read below to find out more.

In regards to where the PCS Series is leading to, the plan is for all five X Division wrestlers participating in the angle to have some sort of finals at the Final Resolution PPV on 1/14. Two names said to have been confirmed as judges for the PCS Series finals are Disco Inferno & Bob Backlund. That explains why Kevin Nash is constantly making references to Backlund during the television segments.

So does that mean it's over with then? Thank god! While not as annoying as VKM, this has been another completely idiotic Russo type angle. I may be in the minority, but I feel really bad for Jeff Jarrett in all this, he's trying to do his friend a solid and get him some work and maybe get some rub for his own company, and the guy continually screws him when it comes time to make it work.

But then again, Jarrett DOES keep letting him back in and letting him get over on younger guys who have way more long run value then Nash does...so I guess I can't feel too badly for Jarrett here.

I have some news on the WWE/NJPW situation.

As previously noted, New Japan President Simon Inoki had a meeting with John Laurinaitis on 12/14 in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE's website posted that Antonio Inoki met with WWE officials, but apparently he joined the conversation by phone. The two promotions discussed doing talent exchanges, but it doesn't appear New Japan has anyone WWE is interested in. New Japan expressed an interest in using lesser used talents such as Val Venis and wrestlers from Ohio Valley Wrestling and Deep South Wrestling.

With Antonio Inoki interested in raising capital to buy New Japan from Yukes (the developers of the WWE SmackDown! video game series), the meeting to secure WWE talent was likely to impress potential investors.

VInces Ass cartoon I should have watched those,

WHO'S exicted for the K-FED vs Cena bout for New Years Day on Raw tonight its going to be good.

Excited? No. Looking forward to see F-Fed get his ass kicked and finally having this story over with? Yes. Some of you may be wondering why, if I hate the guy, do I call him by his nickname? (I'm talking about K-Fed here FYI) Simple. He doesn't even deserve syllables.

Other than that what else is going to be on Raw?

Happy Newyear to everybody!!!

About what Avie said about WWE videos.. I guess I can't show the link I found on some site of Christ Benoit vs. Finlay? It was an awesome old-school style match, but still really awesome.

Probably getting ready for New Years Resolution and the Royal Rumble. Adding matchs to that or getting eleminations on who will go to the Royal Rumble.

Well, Other than K-Sped getting his balls stomped by My Boy Cena, WWE.com reports that DX has something planned for Rated-RKO.

I'm also guessing there's gonna be tons of hype for New Year's Revolution.

NEWS BREAK!

Jerry Lynn Will return to the Ring at Final Resolution to Take on Chris Daniel and Chris Sabin for X Division title.

In somewhat related news, Check this amazing match between New Jack and Sandman during the early days of TNA

You will get a fan orgasm when your boy, the superman, Mr. Invincible murders K-Fed. :P Right now my focus is on the DX vs Rated RKO showdown at NYR. The current rumor is that either HHH (again) or Orton will challenge Cena at WM23 for the gold. Thus, the outcome of DX vs Rated RKO will determine the challenger for the WWE title at WM. If Rated RKO lose at NYR, it will be impossible for Orton to get enough momentum in order to be considered as a treat for the WWE title no matter how he will fare in the RR. On the other hand, even if DX loses at NYR, HHH will still get time to recover because he has been booked as a dominant force ever since the reunion of DX. In short words, if Rated RKO loses at NYR, Orton can kiss his ass and say goodbye to ME of WM which sucks. :(

ZOMG, K-Fed beat Cena thanks to the assistance from Umaga. Redface, do not be so sad. Normally, if a heel has the last laugh 1 week before a PPV, he will lose. In that case, I definately see Cena retaining. Hopefully that will make you feel better.

If it's not from WWE.com, yes, I'm going to have to politely ask you not to post the link as like I explained, WWE is very proprietory over their footage, and somewhat letigious as well if they have to be. So yeah, don't want to take the risk.

Also, it has been brought to my attention that there are some real dickbags going around on AIM using mirrors and misspellings of moderator names to attempt to get people's passwords. If someone claiming to me contacts you asking for your password, it is NOT me, if ANY mod or staff member contacts you through email, aim, or any other program asking for your password, they are a fraud. We don't need your passwords, we can find them if we need them, and implant lots of incriminating pornography on your accounts at will...I mean...forget that last part.

Point is, give your password to no one.

Back to lots of talk about foolish foolish wrestling.
