As for Mick...I think, to this day, there's never been a better ring general. What he may have lacked in technical skill the man made up for by being the single best in ring story teller since Jake the Snake (who, incidentally, also lacked technical skill....maybe it's some kinda trend: Every generation will have a crap wrestler, who is somehow still amazing).

Yhea i liked goldberg atthe start but he was very sloppy. Stiff? Took libertys? Maybe but i think he was just plain lazy.
As for jake the snake he would have to be one of the greatest stoytellers in the ring without doubt. And Mick was one of a kind. Jobbing to Randy was a very selfless act. Pure class.

If it was for the good of a decent storyline, Mick was open to it. I read an excerpt of Ric Flair's book, where pretty much calls Mick Folely a "glorified stuntman".
He may not have had a lot of technical pizzass, or "flair" even... but the fans were better able to relate to him, his characters, and the fact that he was living his childhood dream. I also felt Mick was a hard working individual that sacrificed a lot (especially physically) for the fans and the company.

If you use the good old "Ego VS Ego" storyline, you can.
Of course, success against them could turn him even more heel as his ego grows... though defeating them both will also give him more cred with the fans.

Backstage after Summerslam last night, both Undertaker and Edge were noticeably upset due to the crowd reactions in and after their matches on the PPV. Edge was booed loudly in his hometown of Toronto, while the fans didn't pay much attention at all to Undertaker's match with JBL.
Undertaker was pretty mad at the reactions in his match, while Edge was clueless as to why he got the reaction that he got at the show.
There is a lot of feeling within WWE that Undertaker's lack of interaction with JBL leading up to the show, made the match seem unimportant in the fan's eyes which is what basically caused the poor reactions. |
Could it be cause the match sucked

There is a lot of talk right now about what WWE should do with the Randy Orton-HHH characters. The original plan was to turn HHH face, but it seems management had a change of heart and feel Randy Orton would be a better choice. The crowd have been getting behind Orton recently so he is the logical choice for a face turn.
It's also no secret that many feel Triple H would never fully go over as a heel. It has been tried and tested before and the consensus is that the Game will always be a better heel. On the other hand, there are many who see a lot of potential in Randy Orton and expect him to become a major player in WWE. |
Meaning HHH will expect Orton to job the title to him on a RAW match and Orton will refuse, leading to Evolution turning on him.

There was talk backstage yesterday that Kurt Angle and Undertaker want to build up their characters which would eventually culminate in a match between the pair. Both are widely regarded as the main players in the Smackdown locker room and want to positions themselves as the top two superstars on the Smackdown brand.
Sources report that Angle lobbied for his vistory over Eddie Guerrero yesterday and would like to have WWE Title in time for when he eventually faces Taker. Another TV match between Angle and Guerrero may not be far away as this is also something Angle is pitching for. The plan is likely to involve a Luther Reigns interupption during the match which would result in a Guerrero-Reigns feud and thus push Luther Reigns as a monster.

Let him.
Kurt has been stuck, medically cleared to wrestle I might add, in a friggin' wheel chair, forced to sit and watch Bradshaw getting the spot as main event heel that should, in terms of both skill and credibility, been his. Even if Kurt wouldn't have been the main heel, having him stuck in that ridiculous wheelchair angle for months on end while Smackdown floudered was absolutely ridiculous, and I think having him back in the title hunt would be good for him, and good for the show.

So would I....it's because of things like his digs at Foley and Bret that I've actually come to strongly dislike Ric Flair in recent months.
As for Randy, I think they probably will turn him face...he's young, charismatic, and pretty; he's actually made to be a face. As for the Triper...every face turn he's made has fallen pretty flat, barring his fued with Kurt. He is far better off playing the heel. I'd like to see the WWE stick to their guns in turning Randy face for this fued....I don't think the writing team have the skills needed to successfully market either a face vs face, or a heel vs heel fued anymore.

To be honest, I'm kinda getting tired of the Diva Search.
If they earn a chance through a program like Tough Enough- where they also learn how to wrestle, etc, I wouldn't be so cynical because they deserve it. But having something that is pretty much just a beauty pageant is beneath WWE's history of producing great wrestlers/performers- both male and female.
Seraphina

My complaint with the diva search isn't exactly that it's a glorified beauty pageant....it's the fact that it's happening at all; the fans clearly don't care....I don't care...the other wrestlers don't care....yet it is still eating up hideous amounts of air time on RAW.
Summerslam promotion has suffered because they're pushing it...time for building fueds has suffered because they're pushing it...and the crowd just don't seem to be chanting "boring" loud enough for Vince to hear. It doesn't have a damn thing to do with wrestling...it's just a waste of air time on RAW.

i can't find it, but a while ago i was saying that if i didn't see orton in the title picture in the next six months then i would be pissed. i didn't expect it so soon, but the fact remains...
I AM VINDICATED! VICTORY IS MINE!!!
on raw last night, orton's rematch with benoit was going benoit's way until evolution came down and broke up a sharpshooter, enabling orton to hit the RKO for the win. (which reminds me, who in recent memory has gotten two wins over chris benoit in a row? clean or not, benoit still had to lay down twice in two nights to randy, which shows either that he has faith in randy and likes the storyline or that he has class enough to put over a less talented worker for the good of the company.)
anyway, evolution was carrying randy around the ring and then they turned on him. i think stevie wonder could've seen this storyline coming, but i'm still happy with it. my only concern is how they're going to manage to keep this story fresh until wrestlemania? i was figuring on there being some ego posturing between triple h and orton for a little bit and have it just come to a head, THEN turn randy face. they've rushed the crap out of this so far, i'd be surprised to watch the fued last longer than survivor series.
but goddamn, couldn't triple h just let orton share the spotlight with someone else for a couple months? keep the damn triple h/eugene feud going while orton gets acquainted with being a champ. maybe put him in a program with michaels or flair, even jericho, someone that could hold up their end of the match and still give orton some legitimacy as a champ before this marathon feud with triple h.

That what really bugs me it was only 1 RKO both times! I'm sorry but the RKO looks very weak, and for a world title match it just doesn't seem very believable a guy like Beniot would go down to one of those in a world title match. Same with Kane the guy has kicked out after getting tombstoned before, can't kick out of Edge's craptacular spear. They shouldn't even have Edges spear while Rhynos Gore is still on the program because it's sad to compare them.

I agree with you this one. Benoit is too determined, and stubborn a character to just go down with an RKO.
I didn't watch WWE last night (was busy watching "Enemy at the Gates" on DVD), but I'm disappointed that they went for the attack on Orton so soon. HHH is supposed to be a "Cerebral Assassin". Where's the thinking behind such a sudden attack. Lead Orton on longer, as if you're proud of him for bringing the gold back to Evolution, etc. Then once he's done his "business" with Eugene, have HHH go after Orton.
Sounds like the story telling is getting sloppy. Getting HHH involved in TWO feuds at once is not dramatic story telling, it's a slap to the character since he's too smart to fight a "two-front" war. *shaking head*

It went pretty much exactly like I thought it would. Orton won the title, HHH gets jealous, beats the crap out of Orton, thus we have a feud. I would have really rather had Triple H demand a title shot, and then go apeshit when Orton refused to give it to him, but thats' just me.

I would've had HHH envious- but not all at once... have it as part of his plan that Orton would eventually get the belt, so that HHH could have a crack at it... in essesence, HHH was using Evolution to get the title in his grasp again- even if it meant taking it from a fellow member.
Certainly would've been more "cerebral" than just beating the hell out of Orton at the start.

There isn't any barbed wire, exploding boards, light bulbs, or any other stuff in a traditional texas death match.
The only stupilation is that, after the pinfall, our opponent also needs to stay down for a 10 count (falls count anywhere) before you get the win. It may or may not be no disqualification....

Kurt Angle has been instructed to work a more mat-based style, to prevent further injury to his neck. Management is coaching Angle on working tamer matches, in the spirit of the "new WWE style," which explains why his match with Guerrero featured few big spots. Some backstage feel Kurt (and other mat-based wrestlers) needs to add to his repertoire, in order to keep all fans intrigued with the newer WWE style. |

I was never much for Big Show- he's got potential for some good stories... but they all seem to be rather blah plots though.

Eddie flipped out in Germany when they started cheering JBL... then JBL did the Nazi salute and they started booing everyone.
Big Show is suppost to be back soon, rumours placed his return at Summerslam, so failing that....

| As reported, WWE definitely seems to be implying a Randy Orton vs. John Cena match is on the table. Aside from the recent PWTorch report and the Summerslam segment, WWE also teased a match between the two at the Summerslam Day festival at Ontario Place. Since Cena is often viewed as SD's version of Orton, WWE is hoping the match can be perceived as a "dream match." |
This for a mixed PPV, or Cena getting transfered? ... and I though Orton was suppost to be face.

"At least 6" of Brock Lesnar's Minnesota Viking teammates initiated the former WWE Champion into their ranks by playing a rib on him at practice yesterday.
Lesnar's legs were tied together with tape and water poured all over his head, reports the pioneer press. Then, teammates proceeded to pin Lesnar in a wrestling type manner.

Am I the only one that think its funny that they have a big close up of Kanes face then in the bottom right corner it Clearasil for men, I guess it's not just advertising the PPV, Kanes skin is clean,clear, and undercontrol. Besides the fact that he's so ugly
