The Shiranui is not a Dudley Dog. That's like saying a piledriver and a powerbomb are the same thing because they both start in the same position.

Now look! You made him come back!
And we have another post full of quotes and dumb as fuck retorts! Worse of all he took the piss out of me boo-hoo Vermount, I don't know what 6th grade is! Fortunately I do not have the displeasure of sharing the same soil as I am English. I take it I am supposed to be offended by your oh so cutting (and clever) response but as I haven't done any homework in the 5 years since I finished school I've decided not to take offence. |

At this point, Arnold, I really hope HHH wins the title at Mania just so we can see if VErmaat's right, and it breaks WWE.

And another thing Vermin, don't call people 'kid'
Especially if you dont check their actual age. Especially if you're likely to be younger. I base this on two things, 1. You are a mark, 2. You are a John Cena mark. In my original post I was actually doing you a favour by calling for people to STOP posting here. I find it absolutely ridiculous that people are spending more time pointing out just how wrong you are than posting in serious, topical threads. Now I find myself doing the same. |

What's going to happen when the ratings (and show quality) steadily rise with Hunter as champion? I mean besides all of us kicking ourselves for even liking Cena in the first place...

Sadly, Hunter's actually been entertaining of late. Cena's been shite.
It's sad when the best thing on wrestling is a pirate. |

I don't see how Rock was ever crap in the Cena sense and don't see what he actually recovered from. The only time I can remember him completely bombing is as Rocky Maivia, but that was his first gimmick and he wasn't the main event (or even near the main event)...

Vermaat, you said you know wrestling is scripted. Guys cannot go out and talk whenever they want to, management has to OK it. Akio NEVER had the chance to talk. He can't just go and talk because he wants to.
Your statement about it being easier to talk to a small group rather than a larger group is not fact, by the way. Want an example? Johnny Carson. I've heard numerous statements from people close to him that claim Carson was far more comfortable in front of a larger crowd than a smaller crowd. I also find it much easier to express myself in front of larger crowds. Smaller crowds can be full of people you know, and opinion is more easily expressed to you. When you can see the faces of each and every person listening to what you have to say, it is far worse (in my opinion) than faceless people up the back (which makes projection much easier). I think you'd find a lot of guys that cut effective promos look at the people in the back much more than the people in the front. It is more off-putting to see expressionless shapes in the upper section rather than people laughing at a serious comment you make in the front row. You say that Paul London's standing SSP is more impressive because less people do it. I disagree with that. Johnny Nitro has done it once (correct me if I'm wrong). Who in the WWE does the Shooting Star Press? No one. And besides, why is it that almost every time Paul London or Brian Kendrick come off the top rope, we don't see a Shooting Star Press or a Spinning Frog Splash? If London has the determination to pull off a standing version of the move, shouldn't it be easy to hit it off the top rope? Why wouldn't he do it? Laziness cannot be an excuse, as he does it off the ground (which would be harder, I image). He doesn't do the London Calling because the WWE won't let him! Have you actually seen Sliced Bread #2? Your saying that the 619 has never been done in the WWE, but I think you would be able to find it. Go pla any of the N64 WWE games and it is a taunt. The Shiranui has never been done in the WWE to my knowledge. I might be wrong, and someone in Kaientai may has whipped it out once or twice, but I didn't watch then, so I am not going to make claims. The Shiranui is not a Dudley Dog (as has been already stated). It starts as an ace crusher (like the Dudley Dog, yes), the applier than runs the turnbuckle (like the Dudley Dog, yes), and then backflips (unlike the Dudley Dog) into a modified reverse DDT (the variation Christian does). You're telling me a light kick to the face is more innovative than that? You may not like SB#2, but as far as impressiveness goes, SB#2 should technically be considered better. You've turned everyone here against Rey Mysterio. No one says he is bad, but you have basically said he tries harder than everyone else. You do realise his matches are the same stuff over and over again. Not innovative stuff. The West Coast Pop he has not done in AGES! His finishing moves right now are the Booyaka Bomb, as I like to call it (springboard senton pressy move) the Droppin' the Dime (springboard leg drop, WOAH! Innovative!) and the springboard splash. I got board of writing springboard. None of those moves is innovative. Victoria's slingshot flipping leg drop is more creative. Randy Orton didn't know Eddie Guerrero as well as Rey Mysterio. Orton is detached from this whole thing. I'm not trying to say that means it's OK, but certainly you can't give him MORE responsibility for the situation than Rey Mysterio. I said they are both equal, you said they are different and then changed your story to match mine, while presenting it as your own arguement. Huh? Rey Mysterio & Randy Orton should both take blame of the situation (if blame need be given). Rey Mysterio is JUST AS RESPONSIBLE as Randy Orton for being involved in the "Eddie is in Hell" angle than Randy Orton, if not more, depending on which morals you apply to the situation. I want to see how you reply to that. What morals do you have which make participating in a storyline which insults a close friend, better for you than it does the person insulting them. I'm not trying to say Mysterio or Orton was wrong, because the Guerreros may have been fine with it, but if they were not, I want to see why you would give the blame to Randy and not Rey. Keep in mind that Randy Orton would have been given a script, and that Rey Mysterio would have known what was going to be said. This brings up my next point, only the best being in the WWE. Test, why is he back? If he wasn't "good enough" to stick around, why do you think he was asked back to the WWE. And don't say he improved, because I would like you to find the evidence. Test has worked very few shows, so it would be more likely Test would have DECREASED in ability. Sure, they had him work dark matches, but why did they wait so long? When wrestlers with potential are released you claim they need to be good talkers, wrestlers and have good characters. You do realise that Aaron Aguilera and Matt Morgan are fantastic talkers don't you? You do realise that said wrestlers were never given a chance to talk (properly). You do realise that the wrestlers do not talk when they want to, nor do they have ANY control over their character. If Brian Kendrick were released tomorrow, why would that be? Give me one good reason based on Kendrick's abilities. He's a good wrestler, good talker, charismatic and had a good crowd reaction when he first (re)debuted and when he is allowed to wrestle and speak. What reason would you give to protect the WWE? I want you to find one fault with Paul London that Rey Mysterio doesn't have. Please do not mention effort, because all of Mysterio's matches, whilst being good, are definately not more innovative than Paul London's. Want an example? Paul London hitting a quebrada over the top rope to Billy Kidman who was standing on the outside (!). What, did he not get lazy for one night? He was given a chance and he ran with it. Another example? Paul London kicking off the back of Chad Dick and hitting James Dick with a similar move (!). You said The Dicks & The Heartbreakers sucked? No they didn't! The WWE made them suck. Watch Romeo Roselli and "The Promise" Antonio Thomas in OVW. They were over HUGE. These guys are the funniest tag team since Booker T & Goldust. The WWE fucked them up. What? The Heart Throbs got lazy? Their first match in the WWE was as "The Heartbreakers", and they were actually the highlight of the night in my opinion. They were good. The WWE fucked them up. Tank Toland is an amazing wrestler. So there goes your "the sucked" comment. Chad Toland while not being as good as John Toland, was still decent at the very least. The gimmick the WWE wrote for them sucked, the fans didn't like it, the WWE didn't drop it, who suffers? The talent involved. You said my cousin and my uncle were not true wrestling fans because they stopped watching because they stopped for reasons not related to the wrestling. My uncle stopped because the entertainment in sports entertainment stopped (in his opinion, which he is entitled to have) and my cousin for reasons I did not fully specify. How do you know he stopped because of reasons other than the product? You claim that real wrestling fans don't stop watching. We keep watching, and the majority of us are shitting all over your "facts". Sorry buddy, but real wrestling fans don't like what they see either. John Cena is aimed at mature fans? The guy looks SIX YEARS OLD! His clothing is ridiculous try-hardish. He cannot throw effective looking punches and he looks like a horse trying to stand up for the first time when he moves. I LIKE John Cena. I do not like the character the WWE have given him. You claim people watched because of the promise of sex. That is stupid. If it were true, would the WWE not have sex promises on every show he does? Would Val Venis not be given the WWE Title? Or has the WWE not realised people watch only when sex is promised? The fans that boo John Cena are not troublemakers. Some may be, but you seem to forget, they are obviously plenty enough in number to pursuade such a large number of fans. They are obviously better at controlling a crowd than John Cena. Shouldn't the WWE go with these fans? And don't say they'd boo whatever the WWE throws at them, because (and I believe this is a point you have avoided since the beginning of the topic) so many main eventers are cheered. Shawn Michaels, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle & Rey Mysterio to name a few. Why are they not booed? Explain that to us. I think you said John Cena is an easy target. Why? Why is the guy you claim to be the best face in the company an easy target for fans to boo? Fans "cheer" good faces. I don't want to bring up contradiction again, because you never seem to set the record straight with those points, but you say a good face connects with the fans. Cena hasn't done that. He gets booed. Is that connecting? A good face (The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mick Foley, Shawn Michaels, etc.) has the fans eating out of their hands. Why doesn't Cena? Do not say troublemakers, that is retarded. Troublemakers, if they exist in the quantity you say they do, should have the product based around them, because they are making up a HUGE number of ticket sales. And if you say that they are only a small number and have since spread via the television, you basically have to go by the arguement that John Cena has been poisoned as a face, and he is always going to get booed unless he turns heel and freshens himself up. How does having a face that gets booed, which sends messages to "the sheep" that are watching, boost business? I fail to see that. Either Cena gets booed, and sucks as a face OR he gets booed because people are not strong enough to like him. Either way, Cena is not the guy you want to be basing your business around. I think you see a good face as someone who mechanically plays the role well. Someone who can go out there say "Never give up!" and family friendly stuff and wins all the time. I think the rest of the people here see a face as someone who gets cheered and captures energy within every motion they make. Someone who organically fits the role. Just thought I'd bring up Batista. Why isn't he booed? He was the top guy last year, yet he always got cheered. Where were the troublemakers? |

I agree with the crowd thing though. While I think my record was only about 300 people, I've a much easier time jumping up on stage than I do addressing a single person or group of like, 3.

I've been watching this thread and I don't even know where to begin with a response, so I think I'm just going to sit this one out for now.
Vermaat, you are a God damn retard. Mere words cannot begin to describe how fucking stupid you are. Unlike other morons who have posted here, just seeing your name makes me angry. Angry, yet excited how some of the TPWWers are going to take your little opinions and rip them to shreds with facts. Basically, with you, I'm hoping you get a searing case of herpes from a truck stop bathroom. Go fuck yourself. |

Sorry to bring up the issue about Edge and the ratings when he was champ, but what else was going on with Raw at that time? Specifically, what was McMahon doing during that time. There are a lot of people on that roster, and you really can't say that the ratings for a show are based entirely on who was champ at the time. Maybe something turned people away, or it might be that absolutely nothing else important was happening at the time and the fans got bored. I just don't want to make a decision about Edge's championship until I know what the big picture was.

And it is not an opinion, it is a little something called logic that you lack. It seems to me, based on YOUR post, the biggest problem with wCw was pushing the nWo and I showed how wCw pushed the nWo because they listened to the fans and thought they were a good heel. It is very simple to see really. And luchadors got ignored? That's why wCw was having so many luchador matches. lol !!! |

How are you an expert on something that you know nothing about? You're gonna discard professional opinions and facts based on "logic" you've obtained from asking a few teenagers?

Cena is a wigger. Wiggers piss off a lot of people because they are fucking pathetic. Theres a word for what a wigger really is: POSER. There is a way to redeem Cena: Fans boo him, so he says (I'm not going to use wigger-speak for this): "You wanna boo me? Fine. Fuck you. I'm still the champ and theres not a damn thing you can do about it but sit on your fat ass and watch me take all challengers." Then he goes back to the way he was during his US title buildup. Thats the only way I can see him being over. He shows sparks of wrestling talent, but he has gotten fucking lazy since he won the title. ...AND THAT FUCKING SPINNER BELT PISSES ME OFF! Sure, go ahead Cena, shit on the reputation of the belt. Your fanbois and fangirls will love you for it. Wrestling fans will say fuck you and you'll quickly find yourself completely unrespectable. But, I suppose there is a way that I can insult a wigger horribly (I roomed with one when I was in the military, definately not my choice, he was wigger/metrosexual. After his pedicure/manicure, he was thuggin around with his homies.) CENA IS A SELLOUT. Plain and simple. Just like FEminem. Fucking sellout. Of course, I hate rap, so.... yeah, he gets no bonus points in that department. In closing, Vermaat.. I'm gonna keep praying for something in your brain to snap and you join the rest of society. Now, until then, go wear your baggy pants around your knees, a negro league baseball jersey, a do-rag, a sideways baseball cap.... Then go to your room... Take all that off... roll it into a little ball.. And give yourself a "stupid clothes enema." Then jerk off to your Word Life Poster. *Fap fap fap fap* oohh.... yeah Cena... THIS IS BASIC THUGANOMICS!!! */fap* |

Cena has even admitted in an interview a while ago (I believe it was Byte, could be wrong) that he had only gotten into rap just prior to his character with WWE. Get that Vermaat, Cena is playing a character...and it's not a direct representative of his culture...he's playing a wigger. People are generally sick of wiggers and that's why they love to see Cena get his ass beat. Quote:
J.R. on SNME started a line with "Whether you like Cena or not....." So, fans are booing Cena....Cena admits that people out there don't like him...J.R. knows that people don't like him....thus, WWE realizes people don't like him. YET, Vermaat continues to argue otherwise. I think he needs to stop arguing with us and email Cena, J.R. and WWE and tell them that they are idiots and lack "logic." |

![]() Keep in mind, Vermaat is LITERALLY a WWE mark. Meaning that since JR always says that someone was "literally" broken in half (bah gawd stunner baby back ribs), of course he'll infer the wrong reason. Anyway, the funny thing is, rap is YESTERDAY. I mean, pretty much, we're seeing a decline in rap. Beyond that, you look at popular rappers, and Cena doesn't resemble them. Except maybe Will Smith, or as I like to call him, "Whitey Bored." OMG, see what I did there? Quote:
