Why the hell did JBL run over Cena in the parking lot? I mean it is obivous Cena escaped, but why do the wrestlers literally try to kill each other? That is just retarded booking.

Discuss.

Technically, he should be arrested for that. But this is wwe..

When you think about it, 100% of wrestling booking is retarded.

With all accidents, injuries and security breaches happening lately, the only logical conclusion is that WWE are bringing in a heel wrestler who is big on Health and Safety much like Stevie Richards RTC gimmick.

You heard it here first.

Would love RTC to return even though they pissed me off at the time.

Shit, I was hoping when you hover over the link to the thread it wouldn't show what was in the spoiler thing so I didn't have to put a spoiler warning in the thread title.

But yeah, that is attempted vehicular homicide right there. JBL should be going to prison in theory.

I caught the end waiting for Burn Notice. It makes no sense, since Bradshaw should have noticed there was no corpse there.

He did it for The Rock? :?:

Apparently you don't mess with a Texan's limousine.

That or JBL is a racist fuck and hates Cena, who is now "black."

Burn Notice is a good show. But it basically follows the A-Team formula...which is a solid formula.

Maybe they could get that Mario dude of off this years' Big Brother.


(I appreciate that this will go over the heads of all american posters or UK posters with a life!)

Do you know how many times Austin should have been thrown in jail?

How about Hogan? He tried to kill Rock in the ambulance.

In fact, half the nWo would be in jail for gang beatings and other gang-related charges.

This isn't something someone who watches wrestling should be concerned with since that logic went out many, many years ago.

I just watched the clip on youtube. Looks as badly cut as when Austin dropped Triple H in the car.

But Austin and the nWo were cool. JBL and Cena are not cool at all.

Yeah. What the fuck with the fucking double camera angles? Way to pull the audience completely out of the moment by cutting to angle 2. Fucking idiot producers. This isn't the fucking office.

I don't mind the beatings and the muggings, that is what wrestling is all about. But running people over is crossing a line.

How does it follow the A-Team formula?

Goes around finding people to help while on the lamb. Sure A-Team has a sweet van and shot everything up, but it is the same thing. Plus, it is complement.

Except he's not really on the lam. He's simply been disowned by the Government. He's fucked, but not disowned. The fact that he's been operating under the nose of the Feds should be a hint there. Plus, I gathered it wasn't necessarily a bad thing from your initial statement. I still wonder how they mesh together.

Honestly, I think it's closer to a Robert Parker novel....But I was curious as to what the similarity was.

I don't know who Robert Parker is. A-Team went around solving random problems by blowing up bad guys, Burn Notice is stuck in a single city instead of the America west, but he is still going around solving random problems by blowing up bad guy, he just has an extra goal constantly working in the back ground of figuring out why he has been giving such a sweet burn.

If it brings back Bull Buchanan, I'm all for it. :y:

I guess its hard to promote the intensity of a fued that has been done 340983 times in the last 3 years.

It's always fucking stupid though. Wrestling isn't about killing the other person with a car now, is it?

Plus, its hardly in line with this new kid friendly innitiative...

It's not bad when they do it right.

The one with the nWo and The Rock wasn't that bad, because it was both believable that they would do it (they were the "poison" after all, and who better to try to take out than the WWE's golden boy), and it was believable that Rock could leave without serious, serious injuries, although he was still "lucky" in a storyline sense.

It was good TV, bottom line. This past monday night... not so much.

I was more bothered by JBL getting disqualified for breaking a pin. They couldn't have given him a chair to hit someone with? JBL's team had to be DQed because he broke up a pin in a match he was in?
