Yeah, I knew they were going overseas, but at most I thought they were going to the UK again.

This is rare for me, but I'm not gonna look at the spoilers and just watch tonight.

I'm on a new kick where I'm trying to stop being a bitchy "smark" and just sit and watch wrestling and enjoy it.

Yea I know, won't last long

Good luck with that then. And they announced it was in Italy for the first time last week on Raw.

It's in Europe and still airing at 2am. Pure bollocks.

^ Would make more sense to have it aired earlier, don't you think?

So...when the shows in America it airs live at 2am Uk time...yet when the shows in Italy which is like an hour ahead of UK time...they still show it at 2am.:wtf:

So what time is it on in the US? Normal time slot but not live?

I seriously can not believe out of all of the people they would put in the role, that it would be him.

Why?
KingofOldSchool
04-16-2007, 07:28 PM
Why?

He's been kind've under the radar.

If anything I figured it would've been someone like Mike Kruel or someone else from DSW.

Is he good? Bad?

Green, but I think he has potential.

Actually I think Shawn Spears would've been a good choice.

Why would the spend so much time having Alexiev do a Russian gimmick, then bring him in as an Italian.

WWE doesn't book OVW.

Yeah. Only a few of the OVW gimmicks trickle into WWE. They're usually re-packaged, either just before they leave OVW or straight to their debut.
