You think he's more stupid then heidenrich? I don't... in fact i have a poem.....

Im blonde and tall, and i wear red gloves
my wrestling moves consist of slaps, and shoves
I team with animal, who wears face paint
The stench of us together makes our opponents faint
The wwe hired me, and put me on tv
Just why they did astounds even me
NJC
heidenrich is more succesful than simon in fact he's already part of L.O.D simon on the other (which he can't his sell diet pills which won't anyway) haven't beat a true wwe wrestlers sure he beat some of other non-wwe wreslters on heat and velocity,can you imagine any wrestlers doing this

Successful is a matter of thought...... Heidenrich has been thrown into tag team to try and carry him as he is hopeless..... others aren't, and dont get the same treatment. Id still rather watch simon dean, or Nova, then heidenrich any day of the week.

NJC
have you take a look at simon's sideburns
Subtemperate
...He no longer looks like that, hes part of the BWO....

Why is it no matter how many times big guys like Heindenriech, Snitsky, Jones, Mat Morgan Albert etc fail in their push, the WWE insistes on pushing more. The only Big Guy who had any wrestling moves out of that lot was Albert, and yet he still couldn't pull off a decent wrestling match. Kane and Undertaker arn't that talented either just got over because big guys were novel back then and they had cool gimmics. Big Show, ironically being the biggest, is the only one I've ever seem carry his own weight in the ring to a 3 star match.

Brock is the only big guy who has ever worked and managed to get 4 or 5 star matches, and the main reason is because he's not just big like the rest, he's actually a wrestler, who can wrestle.
Subtemperate
Lesnar is a freak, people like him do not just pop up everyday..... Comparing others to him, will never do anybody else justice....
Talon
I know, Brock's, Angels, Beniots and Eddies are 1 in a 1000.

While not a significant change, TVWeek.com reports that come September 9, WWE SmackDown! will be known as "Friday Night SmackDown!"

WWE's weekly broadcast wrestling program will be moving to Friday nights this September, and WWE wanted the show's official name to reflect its new night.

Matt Hardy is said to be growing increasingly frustrated with his utilization on WWE RAW. Upon re-signing with the company, Hardy told friends that he felt McMahon believed in him and planned to give him the best possible push. Whether Hardy misunderstood McMahon, or the WWE Chairman simply misrepresented his intentions, Hardy has clearly not been pushed as anything more than an average midcarder. Even if the storyline with Edge is set to eventually fall in Matt's favor, WWE has indicated that Edge, not Hardy, is its priority.

Lita remains upset with the storyline and is said to be anxiously awaiting its end. The WWE Diva is said to be a very private person, and although backstage sources have a hard time getting a read on her, she's certainly not thrilled that her personal life is on display for millions of WWE fans.

The video game adaptation "DOA: Dead Or Alive" is set to hit theatres in the spring of 2006. The film stars Eric Roberts, Deven Aoki, Jaime Pressly and Kevin Nash.


WWE and UPN issued a joint press release to reporters touting WWE SmackDown's name change and upcoming move to Friday nights.

I watched wrestling the over day and you can tell that they don't really hit them sometimes because they just hit thin air and they still fell on the floor bleeding so they do make it very good show I still enjoy it sometimes when I know who is wrestling.

I know, sometimes they do mess up and not hit each other. The worse case being in Germany once were some guy aimed a clothesline at someone, missed by a mile, but the other guy still sold it. laugh.gif

Some moves however to intentially missed, such as leg drops, where the knee is arched, so the leg never hits the neck, just makes the illusion that it does (it could well kill someone to actually hit there neck). Other things like running kicks to the guy lying in the corner always miss, but come close enough to seem like they actually hit.

With things like punches they are supposed to hit each other, but they do it with an open fist so it doesn't really hurt, and stamping their feet to make it sound more violent than it really is.

All the other moves like sulpex's are real ovbiously, but they have all types of training to try and limited the damage, such as landing on their backs and letting as much area as possible obsorb the blow rather than as single area. etc

The bleeding is done by cutting themselves with razors the referee carries and will slip to them when needed.

Indeed it is very good. For all the hassle wrestling gets, its a performance art, the guys are indeed talented (well........... at least half of them are hmm.gif ) and the best of them will be insanely athletic. Problem is wreslting has a bad reputation because of the story line aspects becoming more and more insane among the WWE, and the Garbage Feds (such as CZW) using nothing but weapons. Japanese companies such as AJW, or TNA, ROH in the US are the best examples of really good wreslting. thumbsup.gif
XSAS_Daughter
Its ace how they don't actually hit them but they fall on the floor fine and then they come up with blood on there face its like theres an hole where they fall and a person put ketchup on there faces lol.
Talon
Theey just cut each themselves will blades. Although al lot of people do mistakenly think they carry bags of blood into the ring laugh.gif
Subtemperate
....Although Bradshaw and Hardcore Holly always carry there baggage to the ring, so I can understand why people would think that....
XSAS_Daughter
Definatly I havn't heard much about rikishi is he still still wrestling.
Talon
I think he's working in the Indies right now.... or set up his own traing camp. I'm not quite sure which, other than WWE fired him
XSAS_Daughter
did they but I thought he worked at wwf.
Subtemperate
Last time i heard he wrestled in Japan, and with AAA....
XSAS_Daughter
in japan he has travelled to lots of places because the last time I heard of him he had a argumant with mr mcman or isnt that true I am not sure.
Talon
Japan does seem most likely, I think his name would have popped up if he was still in US feds
XSAS_Daughter
yes I agree but did it tell you on wwf or wwe if he left case I didn't see it.
Subtemperate
Yes, they released him on July 16th 2004. It was announced on their website at the time.
Talon

Releases are told on WWE.COM rather than on the show
XSAS_Daughter
alright I don't go on that home page I'll check it out It seems good.
Talon
I wonder if Mat is now wishing he'd gone to TNA? huh.gif
Subtemperate
I dont know what he expected, if this wasn't it....lol

Its going the way everyone thought it would, and Matt have experianced WWE first hand should have known that already.....

Even if he beats edge sometime soon, I can't see anything coming of it....
XSAS_Daughter
I think mat is wishing he went to TNA but I am glad he didn't.
Talon
I wish he had, I might not watch TNA, but if they'd got Matt they'd have pushed him to main event and hopefully gained some more fans in the proccess. Anything to push them up in popularity.
Subtemperate
I doubt theyd push him to main event... They have gotten a large number of wrestlers known outside the company, they use the instant success to put them near the top... and then they disappear..... TNA current heavyweight situation is Raven and Jeff Jarrett with a side of AJ Styles (if i am correct)..... Not much different from that long ago......
XSAS_Daughter
yes I agree I do think they need some more fans I think wwe and wwf are loosing fans because it looks obvious its not real but it is still very entertaining.

Matt, although good, could never beat the likes of AJ Styles, Jeff Jarret and Raven tongue.gif

Quote The Raven, Nevermore!

Subtemperate
Ummm raven maybe.... jarrett maybe... But i dont think hes quite in AJ's league, hes a better wrestler then the other two... well..at least in showmanship.
Talon
I never got what people saw in Raven, every one of his matches I've seen is terrible. Was the WWE just not using him right?
Subtemperate
Lets just say he needed ECW style really.... I think he has the basics though, the WWE definately didn use him right... I enjoyed him at WCW...
AtticusBlueprint
Raven is awesome on the mic, so-so in the ring and he is better then some of the guys in the WWE. Raven is good at psychology, he may not amaze you with high flying moves or mat technique but he can get you into a match just based on his actions and words because he has a really good character with a long history behind it. He had a long feud with CM Punk in the indies, which really brought out the best in both of them.

As for Matt, I feel bad for him, when you job to Rob Conway you know you got problems

And I'm sticking with my vote with Samoa Joe as the best big man in the business

He deserved it and besides if they didn't give him that gimmick we wouldn't have got "D-Von get the muffins!"

lol laugh.gif

she's lookin pretty good
Subtemperate
Hey i liked saturn, his matches in WCW were great to watch... but he died basically once hitting the WWE....
Talon
Saturn was actually a decent technical wreslter. Thats why I liked the Radicalz, all of them where technical based.
