Another SD point, whats with this Mr Ziggles rubbish? Morrison just sounds awkward when he's saying it, and it's never going to catch on like the you suck chants did with Angle.

it's just another example of the bad writing that is killing the wwe. what is wrong with letting the wrestlers do their own promos? give them direction, maybe a line or 2 that might help their character/angle get over more but don't script little thing. these guys AREN'T ACTORS. learning lines is not something they teach in most wrestling schools.



If you don't believe me about unscripted promos being better try looking up some of Mick Foley's anti-hardcore promos from his ECW days on a certain video sharing website. Two words for your search "Cane Dewey"

Shane Douglas' bridge burning shoots were awesome, too. As were Jamie Dundee's (was that his name?) little pre-match promos. Devon was so good on the stick, too, before the gag was put on him.

You can say that, but, most of the guys on the WWE roster...i'm talking everyone apart from but none have the background of working the territories that the older guys had. The territories are where you honed your craft and being a sculpted performer before you move up to the big one that is WWE. The new guys just don't have this advantage, so never come up to the WWE roster as a finished, polished product. The have no idea about promos and about ring psychology. This is why WWE sucks. Not the writers, not the corny backstage skits. It's tje fact that when, in a few years, the guys i've mentioned have all retired WWE will be full of guys who have simply come up through developmental. Not really a positive future for Pro Wrestling, really.

I see Paul Levesque accompanied Floyd "Money" Mayweather in the Ring for this mornings fight against Juan Manuel Márquez...

Correct. It's like there being no minor League baseball or even National League Rugby and everyone has to be selected and developed through junior and Academy systems. They hit the big time before they are ready and are just disregarded as not being good enough almost instantly. A massive thing is wrestlers not being comfortable within their own gimmick; sometimes we'll see a Wrestler signed and allowed to use his current gimmick (dudley boys for example), but when someone comes in and is given a completely new gimmick to get in to, they can often seem uncomfortable in it and not fulfil their potential.



That said, the booking is woeful at times in the 'E.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Braden Walker/Marcus Cor Von/Kaz

Did you see him at the weigh in?





He did the whole "are you ready... I said are you ready" thing. Needless to say, he got very little reaction from the boxing fans other then the few boo's he was already getting



I think he thought the mic was turned off after he said it because he did a little bang on it to make sure it was working

See, kids, you can sleep with the bosses daughter and book your way to the top all you want. But if you've not got, you've not got it.

having just watched it on youtube i can say that that is a rather inaccurate version of events

and your inaccurate on everything you say

how long till the brothers seperate

Watched the Eddie Guerrero tribute Raw + SD episodes last night, still very emotional to watch.

Think it's the 4th anniversary of his passing next month - a true wrestling legend.

My All-Star Wrestling 2 game arrived the other day from Japan.

Really enjoyable to play and great graphics (even though it's from 2001!

), easily as good to play as the recent SmackDown games IMO. Funny highlights inc:



- Being able to beat up the ref



- Great in-ring announcing (even though obviously you can't understand any of it

)

- You can attack your opponent after the match has finished (which leads to furious bell-ringing by the guy at ringside

)

- No commentary/music during matches (refreshing change).

You mean Khali and Singh?

Have WWE explained when they became brothers yet?

Khali is out with a knee op apparently and has been rubbed out of TV Storylines for a while. Thankfully.

That long ?

They are married and have kids. Lucky bugger I'd not say no to Stephanie.

TNA have signed Lacey Von Erich.



Lacey, 23, is the daughter of the late Kerry Von Erich and the granddaughter of the late Fritz Von Erich. She was under a WWE developmental contract in 2007 but was released before having a chance on the main roster.

Yeah Oct 2005, I think I read somewhere that he was booked to win the WWE title again the weekend that he died.

Hey how Gail Kym's WWE return been going so far by the way?

(not been able to see Raw or SD for ages but last I read in PowerSlam they weren't really using her much

).

crap, under utilized and she had a stinker of a match a few weeks back with mickie james.

he was in the survivor series match wasnt he

Had a decent match with that 'Alicia Fox' though a week or so ago.

Yeah could have been that one. Read he struggled with the pressure of the belt in summer 2004, but by 12 months later he felt ready for it. Tragic he never got the chance eh.
