BREAKING WWE NEWS(spoilers)

[rob11]

angle is new gm on smackdown and hhh was traded back to raw for booker t and the dudleys! say goodbye to your push edge.

[Loose Cannon]

LOL, he's right. HAHA, I feel like it's baseball with these trades. Well now Orton can take down HHH. YESSSSSSS. And loopy, I guess the N.B.T. are done now. :(

[The Naitch]

edge will feud with Triple H, so atleast it's something, unless his ass gets buried, Booker T style

[Boondock Saint]

Yeah just read that. Interesting.

[faust34]

Sweet perhaps a Booker T heel turn and a proper RVD ME push. To bad about Edge he's next to be eating some dirt.

Kurt should have traded A-Train for a couple of the Doink midgets.

[CBright7831]

Wow, who saw this Angle GM thing coming?!?!?!?

[OssMan]

RICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[faust34]

Now it makes sense. This might be a bad sign for Kurt's wrestling career. :'( But, on the other hand, this means more backstage angle skits! :D

[MVP]

Wow, who saw this Angle GM thing coming?!?!?!?Not me, I hope it's a temporary thing.

[Joe Kerr]

WWE.com has learned that former WWE Champion Kurt Angle has accepted the job as SmackDown! General Manager.

In replacing Paul Heyman, Kurt Angle’s first order of business was to mold the SmackDown! roster to his liking. In an attempt to do so, Angle has completed two trades with RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff.

The first trade sends F.B.I. member Chuck Palumbo and A-Train to RAW for the combination of the sexy Miss Jackie and Rico.

The second trade is a blockbuster three-for-one deal. RAW’s Eric Bischoff has agreed to send the Dudley Boyz and Booker T to SmackDown! in exchange for former World Heavyweight Champion Triple H. This announcement comes straight off the heels of Triple H being chosen by SmackDown! in the draft lottery just 24 hours prior.

Being that Kurt cant wrestle anymore because of his neck itll at least keep him part of the WWE, kinda like Austin

[Iceman90]

It sucks that HHH is coming back to RAW. I hoped RAW had rid themselves of the evil once and for all.

[Vega]

Jesus christ no, Raw gets HHH back AND A-Train? shoot me now.

[faust34]

Being that Kurt cant wrestle anymore because of his neck itll at least keep him part of the WWE, kinda like Austin

Austin had a pretty good run before his neck finally gave out. Too bad, Kurt was barely in his prime. I mean I know he will probably wrestle a bit in the future, but with all these reports of his neck being shot, they will probably decrease that as time passes. :(

[HeartBreakMan2k]

I still say bring back Shelton

[CBright7831]

Somewhere right now RVD is thanking God, while Edge is cursing God.

[Corkscrewed]

Well, no Palumbo means Natural Born Thrillers is probably out of question... but RAW just got screwed, LOL. HHH AND A-Train over? Wow. SD! just shored up its tag division a LOT, which is cool. Plus its mid-card has gotten really strong.

Hopefully, this is just a temporary role for Angle. He'll be GM for a couple of months while he gets some much needed rest and then comes back to wrestle later. Anyway, as long as he's healthy and on TV, I'm ecstatic.

Angle >> Stephanie

[Funky Fly]

I'm scared now.:'(

A-Train's back on the same show as Benoit.

They're setting up a de-push. Benoit always ends up feuding with A-Train after a de-push.

[HHHsucks929]

The whole point of Triple H feuding with Edge is to put Edge over, and Triple H doesn't seem to get that. Looks like Edge will be losing his push in a month's time...

Do explain your reasoning. :wtf:

[El Santo]

Drat. In a perverse way, I wanted to see what HHH would have done on Smackdown. A Hunter/Cena feud would've been fun to watch.

Hmmmm... how about a heel Booker T with Theodore Long as manager?

[Volchok]

anyone else think those trades where stupid?

[Loose Cannon]

Hmmmm... how about a heel Booker T with Theodore Long as manager?

or a heel RVD with HEYMAN. I think he can actually get over as a heel that way and even go to the top.

[Vazz]

It sucks that HHH is coming back to RAW. I hoped RAW had rid themselves of the evil once and for all.

:(

[ilt_undertaker]

RICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:love: :love: :love: :D

[V]

Now it makes sense. This might be a bad sign for Kurt's wrestling career. :'( But, on the other hand, this means more backstage angle skits! :D

i fear him turning into austin

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I think they should've traded either Tajiri, Hurricane, Hardy, or possibly even Johnny Spade to Smackdown solely to help the Cruiserweight division.</font>

[HHHsucks929]

Do explain your reasoning. :wtf:

Triple H is going to build up Edge as a mian event player in a big feud that leads to their big PPV match... Where Triple H wins in the worst way possible, effectivel dimisnishing fan interest significantly and halting his push. The same thing happened with RVD and Booker T. Thank the lord they're on Smackdown! now.

Triple H just doesn't get it.

[Rock Bottom]

WWE needs to make up their mind... And I bet Triple H whined and complained to get sent back to RAW. Why they would announce him going to SmackDown!, then, the next night, have him sent back, reeks of total "BUAHHHHHHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHH DADDY WAHHHHHHHHH" type crap.

[KingofOldSchool]

It's funny that it took Booker T and The Dudley's to get Triple H back on Smackdown.

[Rock Bottom]

It's funny that it took Booker T and The Dudley's to get Triple H back on Smackdown.

Well, after splitting up damn near every tag team, looks like most of them are on SmackDown! now. And Booker going makes sense, since RVD did, and they just dropped their gold to Flair and Batista.

But my question is, who the fuc</>k are Flair and Batista gonna compete with over them? No La Resistance. No Cade and Jindrak. No Dudleyz. No Booker and RVD. Wow. I guess they should just fight each other, and the winner gets both belts or something. :roll:

[Rock Bottom]

WWE is stupid sometimes.

[AareDub]

I can't believe that WGTT is still broken up after the trade :(

I don't think they ever really planned on keeping HHH on smackdown, they just did that so people would take this joke of a lottery thing seriously.

I'm have a really really really bad feeling that they are going to take A-Train and Mark Henry and pull a Test/Steiner. Make them a team, then make them feud, then just keep going until everybody stops watching.

[Iceman90]

I would like to see Booker T vs. RVD in a feud

or both men turn heel

[ilt_undertaker]

<font color=Silver>I cant see RVD as a heel now (IMO)</font>

[6to1]

and booker sucks as a heel, maby teddy long can help him as a heel

[Hired Hitman]

It's funny that it took Booker T and The Dudley's to get Triple H back on Smackdown.
What do you mean?

All three don't even equal to ONE Triple H... And they've even slept with Stephanie!

[6to1]

what they should do is retire those tag team belts and bring back the tv belt

[Iceman90]

Here is what I would like to see from all the tradees:

Triple H vs. Edge (or if the opponent is going to be buried, then HHH vs. Steven Richards)

Chuck Palumbo vs. Garrison Cade

Batista vs. A-Train


Dudley Boyz (face) vs. The Bashams

Booker T (heel) vs. Bradshaw

RVD (heel) vs. Billy Kidman

[The Icon of Elisim]

The trades look good to me. I'm not going to judge why Triple H got traded till I see Smackdown, I'm guessing that there is an angle to be played off.

I personally like that all the tag teams are on one show. I would've rathered that they unified the two tag team titles but this pretty obviously means that Flair and Batista are retiring the belts.

[Rock Bottom]

I personally like the Booker/RVD combo, I very well may be the only one too. I think they're great.

[Hired Hitman]

ONE OF A KIND -asdasdd- CAN YOU DIG IT?!?!

:-\

[Funky Fly]

<font color=Silver>I cant see RVD as a heel now (IMO)</font>
RVD is the man as a heel.

He's all cocky and shit. I remember this stretcher match he had with Sabu in ECW. They were tag team partners before Rob turned on Sabu and Bill Alfonso. During the match RVD would take a bow after a hitting Sabu with a few moves. And instead of shaking Sabu's hand, he just gave him the finger right in his face the cockiest smile ever. :love:

[Rock Bottom]

I'm not talking about their storyline or gay titantron music or anything. I'm talking about the way they wrestle. Portrays a huge unorthadoxed type style. It's new to me.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

RVD is the man as a heel.

Didn't the fans cheer him like the very next night after that?

[Kristanna Vola]

I personally like the Booker/RVD combo, I very well may be the only one too. I think they're great.

I was just starting to enjoy it myself.

[road doggy dogg]

Well I'm glad I was at Raw, since I got to see HHH leave it in person, even if it was short-lived.

Oh well, back to not watching wrestling until KotR

[Boondock Saint]

Well I'm glad I was at Raw, since I got to see HHH leave it in person, even if it was short-lived.

......................Sorry. There is no KotR

[BLaZeR-]

Drat.

Hmmmm... how about a heel Booker T with Theodore Long as manager?


:drool:

[EazyMack]

But my question is, who the fuc</>k are Flair and Batista gonna compete with over them? No La Resistance. No Cade and Jindrak. No Dudleyz. No Booker and RVD. Wow. I guess they should just fight each other, and the winner gets both belts or something. :roll:
How about a feud with Hurricane & Rosey? :D

[Iceman90]

this pretty obviously means that Flair and Batista are retiring the belts.


How so?

They can make new teams on RAW.

Plus, Rosey & Hurricane can be pushed.

[Stickman]

Well everybody's overlooked the fact that HHH gets traded back to Raw....thus....more HHH/HBK/Beniot.

[Boondock Saint]

RAW tag scene is this if I can think correctly:

Flair/Batista

Venis/Storm

Hurricane/Rosey

Test/Steiner (when he comes back from injury)

EDIT: Grenier/Conway

Meh..

[Stickman]

Um...this is going to sound crazy but anybody who doesn't dork it up on internet wrestling sites and who tunes into next smackdown and raw are going to be pretty lost as to why HHH is on Raw, and Kurt Angle the new gm

[Boondock Saint]

I would think it will be explained on Smackdown...

[The Icon of Elisim]

How so?

They can make new teams on RAW.

Plus, Rosey & Hurricane can be pushed.

Do you seriously think that the WWE is going to build a division around Flair, Batista, Rosey, Hurricane, Grenier, Conway, Lance Storm and Val Venis?

There was a point to breaking up the tag teams and moving the Dudleys to Smackdown

[road doggy dogg]

......................Sorry. There is no KotR

...oh :|

Well then wrestling is just retarded. I guess I will watch Royal Rumble or Survivor Series then, since they're pritty big PPVs

[Corkscrewed]

There'll be two PPV's in June in place of KotR though (I think).

[PureHatred]

I don't get it. Smackdown seems to be lacking a big time heel. Their two best heels would've been Angle and Trips. Angle as GM...well, if this is due to his injuries then that can't be helped and at least he'll still be on TV. But then why trade Triple H???

You almost HAVE to turn Booker or RVD (or both) or else Smackdown's next PPV could be headlined by Eddie vs Big Show (please, no) or Eddie getting fed ti the Undertaker (LORD, no).

[PureHatred]

Booker T (heel) vs. Bradshaw

RVD (heel) vs. Billy Kidman


That's dumb on so many levels.

[VonErich Lives]

Well, seems like their pushing Bradshaw as a heel, as stupid as it may sound to all of us, that have seen nothing more then a clothesline for 10years, he does get a ton of face time outside the WWE, putting him in a few matches for belts, could help PPV buy rates.

Booker T, I wouldn't be shocked to seem him turn Heel and Feud w/ Eddie G. I mean, Trips Gone, Angle Gone, Who's going to feud for the WWE Title? I'll assume Bradshaw, Booker T and... hmm... hopefully no the big slow again...

Also, and I really don't mean this to sound racist, but moving Devon and Booker T over gives SD some black guys and allows Teddy Long to continue his "keeping the brother down" gimmick. My assumption is Booker T doesn't always have the greatest mic skills, so I would see him and teddy, especially if Booker is to feud w/ Eddie G.

As for Raw, I think you'll see some new Tag teams form. I wouldn't be shocked to see Edge and Y2J or see Edge go after the IC title. A-train? maybe there going to turn him face and try giving him a small push against Batista... ok, maybe not.

As for HHH, maybe I missed something... but, WMXX, the "biggest PPV ever", didn't he TAP, to Benoit? or am I forgetting something? While Trips may not put people over as quickly as you like, your the same people who loved it when DX was running wild and not letting anyone get a push. I think it's more likely he turns face and feuds w/ Orton to put Orton over then he Feuds w/ Edge.

[thuganomicalcrippler]

anyone else think those trades where stupid?

Although we hate those trades, I don't think they're THAT stupid. Trading Triple H for three guys means that Smackdown has got more people to add to their roster, and that can't hurt.

PS: Bye bye Edge, nice knowing you.

[Sephiroth]

But my question is, who the **** are Flair and Batista gonna compete with over them? No La Resistance. No Cade and Jindrak. No Dudleyz. No Booker and RVD. Wow. I guess they should just fight each other, and the winner gets both belts or something.

Christian and Edge can be a tagteam again, or maybe Edge and Jericho that would be cool to see IMO, some strange way i think Orton and Edge would form a cool tag team 2.

[Mikey]

Great news for RVD, Cena and Booker T :love:

[Mikey]

Did I mention Eddie too

[ColdwaVer]

OK, listen carefully.

<FONT SIZE=LARGE>EVERYBODY: KISS MY ASS.</FONT>

First of all, stop wanking on about how Edge is being buried <I>before he even starts feuding with <b>ANYBODY.</b></I> I seem to remember you all being the same people running your mouths off before WMXX saying that Benoit was never going to win the title, and on the slim chance that he did, he'd beat Michaels or else HHH would lose in some half-assed way that would make him come across looking like he got screwed. And we all know what happened there, <B><I>DON'T WE?!?!</B></I>

Two, it's obvious why HHH would=Booker T and the Dudleyz in the trade: Bischoff would have the rest of Evolution <i>and</i> Michaels in his face demanding that HHH be brought back to Raw, so of course he'd give up three guys for him. The backstage reason for the trade is also obvious: they had more Raw guys they wanted to send to Smackdown than vice versa, so they 1) made Heyman one of the picks, only to have him quit, and 2) made an uneven trade.

Three, Raw is <i>not</i> losing it's tag titles. The belts being shifted to Flair and Batista proves that. If they had wanted to axe those titles, they'd simply have let them fall off into nothing when RVD was drafted. This now means tag pushes for the aforementioned teams like Venis/Storm, Hurricane/Rosey, and the returning Test/Steiner. Possibly create new teams as well, potentially Test/Rhyno, Cade/Palumbo, A-Train/Steiner (though I shudder to imagine that one,) even Edge/Jericho.

Four, you are all failing to acknowledge that we were handed one of the best Raws we've seen in a long time. They managed a deal of unpredictability, some great moments between Heyman and Bischoff, two great world title matches (ON ONE SHOW!), and most of all planted the seeds for a brand vs brand feud somewhere down the line.

BUT NOOOOOOO, we don't want to realize any of that, all we want to do is whine, bitch, and remain secure in the knowledge that we've got it right and that everything sucks before we ever see it. Well

:foc: :foc: :foc: :foc: :foc:
to you all, and
:y: :y: :y: :y: :y:
to this weeks Raw.

[SeanMC]

Maybe the reason we all doubt HHH is cos of the amount of guys hes buried just to name a few , RVD, Booker T, Goldberg, Kane, foley, etc, do i have to do the whole list?And also the fact that hes always winning the world title back wow what a way to boost ratings, and now hes been traded back to raw i bet you he gets the title back soon enough maybe not straight away, but soon youll see him as champ atleast 1 more time this year guaranteed...

[Joe Kerr]

if booker turned heel he would obviously be feuding with RVD unless as a tag team they turn heel. I can see RVD mess up again and kick Booker pissing him off starting a rivalary....RVD as a heel wont work...like during invasion he was a heel but cheered more than the faces...RVD would really have to do something super Heelish.

[Hired Hitman]

RVD should Set someone from the crowd on fire... maybe that's a little too far...

[The CyNick]

I didn't think RAW was all that great. Most of the matches were either too short, or they just sucked (tag title match). The only match that delivered for me was HHH/Guerrero. The lottery was good for TV, but I wouldn't say the show was anything to write home about.

In terms of HHH, you cant just look at one JOB and say "HHH is the man, he put someone over". What will happen in the next couple of months is that HHH will get a clean win over Benoit. So that will make them even, and wont put Benoit above HHH, like he should be. After Benoit loses the title, he will be pushed down the card while Hunter will continue to be on top. This will then make Benoit look WORSE than HHH and thus negate any good that was done at Mania for Benoit. If this scenario doesn't play that'll be one thing, but I can virtually guarantee it will happen the way I laid it out. So Hunter isn't really doing the right thing for Benoit, he's doing the right thing for himself.

[ilt_undertaker]

RVD is the man as a heel.

He's all cocky and shit. I remember this stretcher match he had with Sabu in ECW. They were tag team partners before Rob turned on Sabu and Bill Alfonso. During the match RVD would take a bow after a hitting Sabu with a few moves. And instead of shaking Sabu's hand, he just gave him the finger right in his face the cockiest smile ever. :love:

<font color=Silver>LOL, I remember that. But I dont think he would make a good heel now because the people like to cheer him, but I hope he does turn heel now, especially after you reminded me of that :D</font>

[The Duck]

I'm confused. The Hunter trade made sense to me with Angle injured and Brock leaving. Smackdown seriously needed a main event heel and HHH/Guerrero and HHH/Cena feuds looked good to me.

Now....well I just don't know. Very intriguing none-the-less and Smackdown is certainly 'shaped' differently to Raw now.

[mikeoldmac]

I reckon Edge will be HHH eventually mite get 2 matches out of it.should be a good feud and im looking for a Booker T v Eddie and RVD v Cena

[VonErich Lives]

Maybe the reason we all doubt HHH is cos of the amount of guys hes buried just to name a few , RVD, Booker T, Goldberg, Kane, foley, etc, do i have to do the whole list?And also the fact that hes always winning the world title back wow what a way to boost ratings, and now hes been traded back to raw i bet you he gets the title back soon enough maybe not straight away, but soon youll see him as champ atleast 1 more time this year guaranteed...

Ok, lets go through the list.

RVD - I'm sorry, RVD does not scream WWE or Heavyweight World champ. In ECW where he made his name, wasn't he hardcore or tv or something? but never their top champ? He's funny and has great moves, but he's charecter doesn't seem like it would carry the belt well.

Booker T, his time will come again.

Goldberg, he got his push, got the title, got over, and then they needed something else to do w/ him, clearly the big pay day at WMXX would be him v. Brock, to bad it was both their last matches.

Kane - I'm sorry, I don't remember him burrying Kane...

Foley - ? this one I really don't get.

Here's the problem, if they push everyone that everyone wants to get pushed and hold the belt, the belt changes every month... that would suck. HHH carried the belt, hopefully we get a rematch Benoit v. HHH and HHH put Benoit over a 2nd time, and Benoit goes on the fued w/ someone.

[PureHatred]

RVD - I'm sorry, RVD does not scream WWE or Heavyweight World champ. In ECW where he made his name, wasn't he hardcore or tv or something? but never their top champ? He's funny and has great moves, but he's charecter doesn't seem like it would carry the belt well.

If you'd watched ECW when RVD was making his name then you wouldn't question why people think he could carry the world belt. He was the backbone of that company whether he carried the "main" belt or not.

Back to topic...I just think that Triple H fits the gaping hole in SD. The show needed a big time heel, he fits the bill. A lot more so than Booker T or Bradshaw. Or to be more exact, Raw without Trips seems just fine. While SD's roster is still severely lacking.

[rottednation]

Nothing is ever going to save Smackdown!, and Vince just keeps ****ing everything up. I mean, what the hell can he really do? He's been digging them deeper and deeper into the ground...

[HHHsucks929]

Trades should continue to be made. Smackdown! is left with even less heels than beofre, what the hell is WWE thinking? Raw has Michaels, Triple H, Evolution, Kane & Christian. Smackdown! has Big Show, and I guess Booker T now. Kurt Angle better be a heel GM and feud with Eddie, that would be good, but for now they don't ahve top heels. Bradshaw just isn't the answer. The only thing that excites me about the roster shakeup is RVD on Smackdown!. Everything else is pretty much useless.

[Kristanna Vola]

Well if they wanted to make Raw the superior brand they have done it now. I was actually looking forward to HHH going to SD (his politics aside) SD lacks a major heel now.

[VonErich Lives]

I think you'll see Angle as a heel GM, somehow make up for the lack of a strong heel, in the same way a strong manager can help a wrestler w/ no mic skills.
