Another awful side effect of the Benoit thing as a business situation.

[darkpower]

It basically means that....the WWE has once more lost a crediable main eventer to use, and this just furthers their recent drought, especially now that the WWE had plans to let Benoit be the ECW champ, with the very possible outcome of moving him to RAW to work a program with Bobby Lashely.

This, however, now puts the WWE in further of a setback. Kennedy is right now not in tip top shape, and people still have doubts about him, we all know by now that Benoit isn't avaliable for obvious reasons, the Undertaker is with a knee injury, Rey has been ready to go for the past two MONTHS yet for some reason the WWE doesn't put him into the programs, Triple H and Shawn are still out, many of the ECW originals are being buried or have already been released, and now John Cena is talking about taking time off, which may mean he might HAVE to drop the title soon and he will be gone.

So...who's left in the interm until the WWE can get some people back? Khali and Umaga? Is Edge really going to be expected to carry the SmackDown shows by himself? Are they really thinking that Nitro will be able to cut it as a main event performer?

I've said it many times over the last few days, but I think now is the time to make something of William Regal. The man can talk, he can wrestle, and he's got the experience to help younger guys learn. Regal being bumped up to main event status should happen, anyway, so now there is one less main eventer to cater for, I think it is even more of a no-brainer.

I doubt it will happen, though.

Agreed. It's time they did a "JBL" with him. JBL literally came out of nowhere.

[chrisat928]

Booker T should go back to SD, and Orton should move to ECW, and have Lashley start up a feud with Cena.


Here's my idea for a Cena heel turn: Have Maria conduct an interview with Cena, and she asks a really stupid question, and then he just goes off asking asking her why is she so stupid, and stuff like that. Then. at the end of the show have Maria come out and say something like "If anyone insults me again, they WILL be sorry." Something like that. The last shot of the show will show Cena laughing.

The next week, have Cena apoligize to her, but do it in a demeaning way, and have Maria slap him. After the main event Maria comes out and says "I warned you," and she starts walking to the ring. Have Lashley come through the crowd, and just lay out Cena.

I know, I just want to make a thread with it as THE focus.

[Impeccable]

I actually fear that Hogan could be back. As many times as Vince and Hogan say they won't work with each other, I think Vince might offer him a HUGE sum to return in some capacity. :(

[addy2hotty]

I seriously doubt whether Jericho will ever step foot in a ring after all this. He's a father himself, and if he's dabbled down the same route as Benoit, then why risk it?

[Mr. JL]

To be honest, I have not missed Shawn Michaels, Triple H or the Undertaker in the least.

[YOUR Hero]

Look on the bright side, they save 500K in salary :|

[FourFifty]

So am I the only one who wants to see The Messiah make it to WWE or OVW at least out of this?

[Stickman]

Beniot wasn't a main eventer anyways.

[James Steele]

Kane Knight neg'd me for my Jericho post. KK is such a cunt. OI OI OI

[IC Champion]

Jericho is GOD!

[Stickman]

Kane Knight neg'd me for my Jericho post. KK is such a cunt. OI OI OI

Get used to it.

[Corkscrewed]

lol

[James Steele]

Get used to it.

Oh I know. He is the only person to have neg rep'd me in over 2 years.

[Amaroqwolf]

Oddly enough I've never been Neg rep'ed by KK, but on topic now, If Jericho would come back, he won't get any type of decent showing he'll once again fall into the role of foyle for HHH, and the likes. I'm sorry as Awesome as Jericho is, he'll get his Huge return Push, a POSSIBLE title Shot and then...he'll become one of the many upper mid carders yet again.

Besides that on his site he's said it will be at LEAST another year before he even thinks of coming back to wrestling.

[St. Jimmy]

Don't worry about it, Triple H will be back soon. All will be fine. Then Michaels will be back like 2 months later.

[YOUR Hero]

Kane Knight neg'd me for my Jericho post. KK is such a cunt. OI OI OI

If he had banning ability, I bet he'd have banned you. I thought of it.

Seriously, what is with the long gap? You think it's "cool"? "Smart" ?

Um.

Don't be a gay. Don't do that again.

[YOUR Hero]

in fact edit the damn post yourself.

[James Steele]

No.

[James Steele]

If RP can post constantly stupid and vulgar shit, I can just have a long gap of space. Its not that fucking hard to just prush the PAGE DOWN key.

[The Naitch]

good point James

[FourFifty]

The Messiah? Anyone? At least OVW?

Okay, so he can't to Umaga's spike, but that's not really his fault.

[YOUR Hero]

Ok, JamesSteele.

You win.


I'm going to treat you exactly like I treat RP.

Is that what you want?

[James Steele]

Ok, JamesSteele.

I'm going to treat you exactly like I treat RP.

If I can get away with posting a gaping asshole with a kitten coming out of it...I'll think on it.

[YOUR Hero]

RP's been banned for that stuff. I'll take that as a yes then and ban you. :?:

After all RP's been banned several times.... so....

Anyway.

If I come back to this thread and you haven't edited that post with the gap. I'll take it you wish to be banned. If it's edited, I'll take that as a sign that you're open to changing your opinion on things, and .... stuff.

[James Steele]

If it wasn't for the fact that King Jabba would have a stroke if I was banned...

[James Steele]

I forgive you. I understand the stress caused by a mid-life crisis. I hope one day you can realise how foolish you are being in this situation.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I don't get what was wrong with JamesSteele's post, personally. Are people on his case because he is suggesting Chris Jericho return? The WWE have apparently made him an offer, and with their shortage of main event players getting greater, that offer will probably be represented, with a higher sum attached. I don't know if it's likely, but it's not neg rep worthy.

Triple H returning is one of the things I am least looking forward to right now. I'm sorry, but the guy got boring as a heel, and guess what, he's worse as a face. It's going to take some 2000/2001-esque work for me to get into Triple H when he returns.

Besides, it's not RAW that needs the help. ECW is the one that lost the main eventer, and SmackDown! is the show that is really short. Hell, it could be argued that the biggest stars ECW has at the moment are Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer, and giving RVD is probably leaving, that is not a good sign for that show, either.

The WWE will probably offer RVD a whole bundle of cash to stick around. Maybe the Sid rumours are true, and we'll see him picked up for SmackDown!, or something? I could live with that. Sid would at least be interesting until he begins to lose his fresh factor, and we are reminded of how crappy his ring work is.

[Dorkchop]

WWE has fucked themselves big time with not making young up and comers. Sure they force some guys down our throat, but they've been doing that since before Luger. It's the other guys that shined more than the Lugers that had staying power in the main event scene.

Regal comes to mind. He's amazing in the ring, on the mic, has charisma, can work a crowd, and willing to put anyone over. Even if he's meant to be a transitional champ, he can still be a good one. Regal can pull out some sick suplexes. It's not likely, but now's a good change to try him as a main eventer.

[Dorkchop]

Seriously, who's a believable main eventer right now? Cena and Edge. Orton too, I guess. Wow, Two, maybe three, current active guys.

Kane could be, but he's been jobbed so much. I don't know if anyone will buy him as a champ.

[St. Jimmy]

JamesSteele 4 MOD. :love:

[YOUR Hero]

The gap in his post was 15 times the size it is now. So if you come into this thread and say "what's the big deal?" well then you missed it for what is it was.

I get PMs about this stuff allll the time, I generally ignore them. But since the forum is busy with a lot of people coming on because of the developments with Benoit ....

Anyway, post proper.

.

[James Steele]

Yes sir, YOUR Hero.

[Stickman]

Hero is a father figure on these boards.

[darkpower]

James, at least in this issue, I have to give it to Hero (and I never do because I think he's, well, OUT THERE :p). Your post, pre-edit, was somewhat of a "SCROLL BAR STRETCH" thing than just a big gaping hole. Not that I personally gave a shit, but I'm sure some people's browsers would be giving a big fuck you to that and not load that, as weird and as unlikely as it sounds.

But yeah, both of you two are wrong. While Hero, I think, was overreacting (a page/scroll stretch is tame compared to some of the shit I've seen other people do here without consiquence), the hole was a pain in the ass to get through............oh fuck, that didn't come out right. :shifty:

[darkpower]

Besides, the "big gaping hole" gimmick is reserved for Mr. Kennedy posts....
