HOLY SHIT!!!! *ECW Spoilers*
 
Stevie Richards won a match. This is a time to open some wine, my friends. I'm sick of guys under contract being treated like they are jobbers. Stevie Richards, Val Venis, Nunzio and Funaki all deserve better, and the occasional win here and there. Good to see Stevie with the win. :y;

Dave Youell 07-25-2007 04:25 AM

He's taking over!

Mr. Nerfect 07-25-2007 05:26 AM

He showed us!

Honestly, there is money in having Richards climb to the top, in a true underdog story.

chrisat928 07-25-2007 05:54 AM

He'll proably beat Thorn again next week, and after that get CRUSHED in the third week, then we will see a big push for Thorn, and the surprise return of Airel.

Dave Youell 07-25-2007 07:13 AM

Stevie has got talent and charisma

So it's no wonder he's going nowhere on TV

So...Summerslam opener?

Xero 07-25-2007 10:30 AM

He seriously needs to bring back the JOB Squad.

All he needs to do is start a stable with the entire ECW roster and invade RAW. :shifty:

Nah, but seriously, a JOB Squad with Stevie, Funaki, Val and maybe a few others would be pretty cool I think. Maybe even bring Snow back in as their manager.

Can Nova be in it?

Xero 07-25-2007 10:35 AM

Only as Simon Dean.

Rammsteinmad 07-25-2007 11:18 AM

One step closer to my Richards VS Punk fued.

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 11:28 AM

Of all things to bring back, the JOB Squad? Do you guys hear yourselves sometimes? That would be absolutely awful.

I look at it this way. Somebody's gotta job, right? So why not at least make it somebody who at least USED to have a somewhat almost credible name as opposed to some j-bro from a local indy promotion. As far as those guys 'deserving better', they're dealing with a lighter travel schedule, less risk of injury (if only for the sheer lack of ring time), and I'm sure they're still being paid just fine.

Jobbers serve a nice purpose. They make the up and comers look good. I see how people can get upset about some of their former favorites jobbing to guys who are 'not deserving of a push' in their eyes, but hey, what are ya gonna do? Not everybody has to be a big time player just because they're talented.

I was actually a little miffed that Stevie beat Kevin Thorn, because I quite enjoy Thorn. I really hope that this is more of a reward for Stevie than a punishment for Thorn. I'm gonna reserve complete judgment though until I find out where they're actually going with this.

I thought they still wrestled dark matches and house shows, and if anything, worked MORE than some of the main eventers. *shrug*

IC Champion 07-25-2007 11:42 AM

How is bringing back the JOB Squad awful? They brought back DX for the 557th time.

The job squad was awesome, and anyone who thinks other wise should go watch so tapes.

Theo Dious 07-25-2007 11:43 AM

Yeah but people REMEMBER DX.

IC Champion 07-25-2007 11:47 AM

Who cares if they dont remember? Even better, the concept of wrestlers forming a JOB squad is awesome either way.

Yeah, and DX was fucking awful. What's your point?

Dude they already are feuding, they've wrestled at least 20 times. Their backstage promos on each other are mesmerizing also.

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 11:49 AM

The JOB Squad simply would not fit into today's WWE. If you have a scenario in which it would be feasible and potentially entertaining, I'm all ears.

The people responsible for selling TShirts, for one thing.

IC Champion 07-25-2007 11:55 AM

How would it not fit in, especially in today's product?

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 11:56 AM

I dunno, tell me how it WOULD fit in.

ECW mutants and the Smarks will remember, and the point is that it would get over either way, its better to use the jobbers as entertianment then to just job.

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 11:57 AM

If all of the jobbers are winning, then who the fuck is going to job?

IC Champion 07-25-2007 12:06 PM

Who said they win?

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 12:22 PM

You want to create a JOB Squad and...still have them lose? I thought the whole point of the JOB Squad was that they started winning when they banded together?

If they were to still lose, the JOB Squad would be DOUBLE pointless. It would literally be putting a t-shirt on the guy who was going to lose right from the get go.

IC Champion 07-25-2007 12:28 PM

Did you ever see any old JOB squad shit?

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 12:39 PM

Yeah, but I don't remember much of it. I remember Al Snow, Gillberg, and The Blue Meanie. I remember "PIN ME, PAY ME". Most of all, I remember being completely underwhelmed.

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 12:41 PM

Something about guys who are admitting that they're losers, bitching about it, and still losing just doesn't strike me as entertaining. It was toying with kayfabe back then, all while that's pretty much all but dissipated in today's era, I still like to think that the wrestlers (even those who are obviously going to lose) are at least TRYING. That's what make the Stevie win last week so shocking.

LK 07-25-2007 12:51 PM

Very nice for Stevie to get his annual win but having Thorn lose is just stupid.

Jordan 07-25-2007 02:05 PM

Stevie Richards vs Great Khali at Summerslam, YOU HERD IT HERE FIRST.

NeanderCarl 07-25-2007 02:08 PM

I'd rather just see these guys who would be eligible for JOB Squad status, such as Stevie, Val, Funaki et al, just pick up an occasional win over a real jobber on TV... just to remind viewers that they're one level above the unknown locals we see pummelled every week... y'know, that they are actually contracted "WWE Superstars".

NeanderCarl 07-25-2007 02:09 PM

I wish WWE would bring back Prime Time Wrestling, complete with squash matches, as an internet show. Have Heenan and Josh Matthews host it, whatever. Just have these lower card guys winning from time to time.

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 02:35 PM

That would be nice in theory, Carl, but why would you give TV time to somebody who isn't even being pushed unless they're in there with somebody who is being pushed? It just seems like bad business. Val Venis has a fanbase, and that's great, but having him go over jobbers just doesn't really advance anything at all.

Anybody Thrilla 07-25-2007 02:37 PM

An internet show might not be so bad for it, but when would they film these matches?

NeanderCarl 07-25-2007 06:07 PM

Instead of dark matches, pre-taping. Or even afterwards.

Back in the day WWE would tape for HOURS at TV tapings.

NeanderCarl 07-25-2007 06:07 PM

Or they could simply integrate Heat into a two hour Prime Time show.

Jordan 07-25-2007 06:18 PM

Just put those matches on Heat.
