Funaki won the cruiserweight battle royal

while I'm not proposing for one moment that Funaki is as talented as Taka

On a side note, I think it was a terrible idea to move the whole Chavo/Kidman/London storyline to Velocity, I mean it was actually one of the better storylines for Smackdown and they go and just drop the whole thing, and Paul London was just getting over

It's amazing the WWE has survived this long, it really is

Might be a bit before your time Sera, but Andre the Giant was very over....

Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and the Rock

Hulk Hogan,The Rock,Steve Austin, are pretty large guys

Guys like Christian, Rey Mysterio, Steven Richards, Matt Hardy, Hurricane, London, who can all work well with bigger guys too, but will probly never see the world heaveyweight title shot.

The Rock is around 6'4 and hogan 6'5 - 6'6 from memory..... Undertaker is about 6'9 - 6'10. In fact hogan at his peak weighed more then the undertaker does now...

Does 3 inches more make him a giant compared to them?

Am I doing this just to be annoying?

then mathematically with Vinces love of big men the average height of the WWE lockeroom would be around 6'3 or 6'4..... If not slightly higher.....

Yes, but if you went through and counted the minutes given to the wrestlers, Im very sure that those under 6'3 would have far more minutes given to them, then those over (since I can only think of 5 of six giants as such)...... Therefore that would be incorrect too....

well they just had to have booker get pinned

i guess the wwe is gonna have booker retiring with out a long title run of any kind

I'm afraid in Vince's eyes Booker has three qualifications which means he will never be champ: 1. he's talented, that means he can be used to put others over, but not himself: 2. He's considered WCW material and not WWE, that in itself is a killer: 3. He's black, and looking at Vince's past record black wrestlers tend to be used in 'I'm a black racist and the world's a conspiracy agaist me' gimmic year after year and are rarely given any further push. While we're on the subject, has their ever been a black WWF/WWE champion?

Yes, but asking "has there ever been a black champion?" is a redundant statement, as I could ask whether there have been any Australian or New Zealand Champions (both have had wrestlers in WWE and both usually white) and come up with the same response....

Thinking that someone is not been given the title, where only about 8 people in the entire company have held it, because he's black, is reverse racism. Im sure you can name many wrestlers that have the same status, and have been treated the same but are white.... So race is not an issue. Bad booking however I can see blamed...

.....What does that have to do with anything? Let me think of the black wrestlers in the WWE......

Booker T
Sheltan Benjamin
Orlando Jordan
Mark Henry
Dvon Dudley
Theodore Long....

Now out of them, how many should be world champion? One. The rest either dont deserve it, or arent ready yet.....

So on the basis of One guy in the company not getting pushed...... You claim he has something against all blacks?

Farooq, D'Lo, Kama, Virgil...... I cant think of any others that SHOULD of been champion.......

8 people? What are you talking about, the WWF has had been around for decades, the claim that it has only 8 champions is an utter joke.

And as for 'reverse racism' I have no idea what that's supost to mean. But if your claiming that 'positive discrimination' then noooooo, that would be ware I claim a black guy should get the title simply so their has been one whether they deserve it or not, like Halle Berry at the Oscars. Not once did I make a claim like Mark Hendry or such like should get the title based on them being black. I am saying however that their is something wrong, whether you like it or not, with a company that lands people over and over with the 'I'm a black man/ a Japanese/ a European/ an Arab/ a Mexican / a canadian and the world is against me' etc gimmic over and over again.

If it wasn't for this, then maybe I would agree that its just the luck of the draw, however I'm guessing theirs a level of racism involved, because we know from the last 10 years that the WWE does give ethnic minorites and foreigners the 'anti American racist' gimmic non-stop and doesn't treat them seriously.

WrestlingObserver.com has reported new details on the backstage fight between wrestling legends Mick Foley and Ric Flair. The fight transpired shortly before RAW and ultimately had no effect on Foley's decision to appear live on the show to plug the Middle Eastern tour, while also adding heat to the Hassan and Daivari characters.

Apparently, Ric Flair approached Foley and offered a handshake, a gesture which Mick declined. Foley then asked for an autographed copy of Ric Flair's book; Flair did not appreciate the remark and threw a punch at Foley. The punch did indeed land, but the two were broken up before the situation could escalate any further.

Choosing one guy out of the many, and saying he doesnt have the title due to racism, is a bit stupid......

I called the rationisation stupid

lol..... Foley probably didnt know where Flairs hands had been... most likely up HHH's ....um...nose....

- There is a rumor going around that Paul Heyman's dismissal from the writing team might have stemmed from being caught red-handed "not telling the truth." One source is under the impression the lie could have involved listening in on a RAW writer's call.

Other reasons for his dismissal include clashing with Stephanie and Vince, as well as leaving meetings and conference calls early.
