So Adamlie.
 

What happens to him now?

I wish him well in his future endeavors.

He might actually be released for all we know. Let's face it, he's not exactly the best actor the WWE has, and Vince has apparently been getting more serious about such things. That being said, I quite liked his stuff with Randy Orton two weeks ago. Maybe Theodore Long will get bumped up to RAW, and Mike Adamle will take the much smaller role as ECW GM?

Hopefully last night was his final appearance on WWE TV.

I keep thinking, "That was anticlimactic; it can't be the end of it." Then I realise, "This is WWE; it probably is the end of it."

And for once, I'm kind of hoping WWE just drops this shit.

Well, they could fire him, or they could utilize the Dilbert Principle which states that they will promote him to a level of management.

What was his big announcement?

He forgot his lines in the ring, I'm sure of it.

:nono::wavesad:

He quit.


Actually he did.

He fucked up simple words in a way that makes me long for Bubba Ray's stutter.

Back to American Gladiators.

Next ECW Champion.

He actually has been doing pretty good as the RAW GM. Didn't get all the hate after he was in a position that actually made him good to watch. Loved his little "war" with Jericho. And I could see them doing a Orton/Adamle feud of some kind (even though I will probably regret jinxing that).

Personally, I think he just did a few things wrong every now and then because they put him in a very tough job way too quickly when he wasn't familiar with the product, and no one ever forgave him and was looking for something to call him on. He seems to really been working hard to try to win over people after his gaffs, but trying to get people who haven't gotten over fucking Montreal after 11 years to get over something like that is highly difficult, if not impossible.

That's a real deep thought, darkpower, but the truth is Adamle sucked. That's all there is to it.

I also never understood why they spent all that money to go out and hire Adamle when they have other very capable people on the payroll.

I don't think he exactly sucked, and didn't think he was as bad as everyone is making him out to be. Maybe it's just me wanting to see a nice guy do well and because I know the guy can be an awesome commentator and worker.

They hired him because he has a LOT of experience calling sporting events (he's done it for YEARS, not just on AG), and he's was an NFL player for I think he said 8 years (and was a play by play guy for the NFL for 8, as well). Thing is, in those, for some reason, you can get away with some slips more than you can in calling wrestling matches. Not sure WHY they make it SO much harder.

Oh, and don't forget why Foley left the WWE (McMahon screaming in their ears all throughout as to what to say and when to say it). I don't think ANY sporting event has anything like Vince doing that sort of shit.

He still sucked.

Well, I think we'll agree to disagree here. I just think he needed more time.

I'm hoping he is staying, though. Why no one has even said anything about what they want to do with him and where they are going with this (usually Dave "everyone should suck my cock" Meltzer would've had something about it by now).

Adamle = :nono:

Mike Adamle and Don West - TNA Announcers.

I want to see it just to hear Adamle continually refer to Don as "Adam West".

lmao

Mike Adamle and Don West would be the final nail in TNA's double wide coffin.

Or Don Adams... :rofl:

Hasn't that been EVERYTHING in TNA, though?

Think of the possibilities, though...

"The Sting"

"Kevin Bash just Nashed him!"

"Booker African really work that spinning wheel cut kick!"

"Hurry! It's the Curry!"

"Sheep Akbar Lasher just won his match!"

"Hey, it's Mick Foley! I know him from working in WWE. Man, I miss that place."

"Scott Steinbrenner!"

"Abyss with the Asshole Slam!"

"I guess you could say Christian is Caged in the six sides of cage."

:rofl::rofl:

I wish now that I could find that post from an AG forum of someone who met Adamle and said he was one of the nicest guys the person ever met.

Say he sucks all you want, but he seems to be far from being a prick.

That and I think I read somewhere that he was diagnosed with epilepsy (seizures), which makes me think has been a reason for a few of the miscues (I've gone through a few myself in my life, so I know how that feels. It DOES fuck you up in some cases).

Nice guys finish last, dp.

Don't know about....

*looks at Randy Orton*

....never mind, you're right!

He also called the XFL...

Somehow that should of been a sign.

I'm sure Adamle is nice. He can be the nicest person in the history of mankind for all I care. Doesn't make his on-screen persona suck any less.

So did JR!

I still think that down the line, Mike Adamle would be an awesome heel manager. Think Larry Sweeney, only Sweeney is actually comfortable on a professional wrestling mic. Adamle's character could just be made to look arrogant, rather than incompetent, though.

Totally off topic but Noid what happened on 01/05/08 :?:

I really need to change that, actually. It was a bet with Destor that I lost, and as a result I had to change my avatar to anything he wanted for a month. He suggested I put the date as my user title so I wouldn't forget. Turns out I forgot about the user title.
