    ALL HE DOES IS TALK. HIS MATCHES ARE SUB-STANDARD. HIS FANS ARE MOSTLY
    LITTLE GIRLS AND HOMOS WHO HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM. WHERE WERE ALL THESE
    FANS A YEAR AGO AT WRESTLEMANIA 15.

    I bet that was about The Rock lol.
    I remember being on a wrestling forum when they dug up some old wrestling forums and they saw people complaining about The Rock & Austin they were so salty...

    Mae Young's pregnancy is sick.

    Since Angel slammed her down, do you think WWF would be so crude
    and twisted to follow through with a miscarriage story?
    Ok, I know I will be eaten alive for saying this, But damn The Rock isn't that
    bad. Now all due respect for wreslters Benoit, HHH and the other technical
    wreslters, but The Rock is good. I mean quickly think of one wreslter who has 5
    or more moves.

    I thought of The UnderTaker With The Tombstone, The
    Chokeslam, The last ride, The walk on ropes, the running DDT. And then I
    thought of The Rock, His spit, slap combo, Peoples Elbow, Rock Bottom, the
    great DDT he does.

    Their are others I know but I just can't think of any. But
    when you look at HHH you have the Pedigree and the twisting keck breaker. And
    Benoit has the German suplex and the Crossface. The Rocks gimmick still sucks
    but his skills rule. X-Pac is still the worst wrestler.
    Mic skills: Kurt Angle does have the ability to speak fluent English, I will
    give him that. However, outside of pompous arrogance, he has no ability
    whatsoever to display emotion. Compare him to Jake Roberts or even a Hugh
    Morrus, and he doesn't stand up. Grade: C-

    In-ring skills: He is incredibly green. He looks like he belongs with the
    Natural Born Thrillers rather than with the WWF title. He needs to spend a few
    years in Japan learning from people that know how to wrestle. Grade: D


    Motivating the crowd: Just listening to the crowd response from Monday tells
    the story: no one knows if they're supposed to boo or cheer him, even though
    he's an obvious heel. That's because he has no idea how to work a crowd, like
    Hulk Hogan. Grade: F


    Overall: It's unbelievable someone as untalented as Mr. Angle could rise so
    high so quickly. No, I shouldn't be... WWF is turning into WCW, and Angle is
    their Goldberg. Overall, D-.

    OH ? its them AGAIN lets see the tag title history for the past year

    The Dudley Boyz
    Edge & Christian

    for ? sake lets have a bit of ? variation. how far have edge and
    christian got their noses up the writers ? . if steph is the cheif writer
    is one of em shaggin her. for ? hell 7 title reign is one year is a
    bit much and people where moaning at the rock when he won it 3 or 4 times in
    a year.
    the tag team division has a lot of talent in it with all the new signing it
    coul be great but NO. it ? EDGE AND HIS ? FRIEND CHRISTIAN AGAIN. i
    have only one word that i can repeat several times

    STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE
    STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE
    STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE
    STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE STALE

    it so ? stale even the ? ethopians don't ? want it. for
    ? ske it makes WCW look like the Man Utd and WWF look like the ?
    wankchester city.

    if the WWF doesn't change then it will get lower ratings than the XFL
    I have to complain about the ending of Wrestlemania. I had a hunch they
    where going to let Austin win, fine. I had a hunch he was going to turn
    heel, fine. But, they lackluster ending was dumb. After the Rock to beating
    after beating and kick out after kickout, why did they end it when they did.
    If they wanted a good ending they either would have let the Rock win with a
    spectacular comeback or have Austin at least win legitimately. But, no they
    can't have a clean match or an upset victory at Wrestlemania. Same old ?
    different day. Only this day was $40 down the drain. Anti-climactic ending
    to Wrestlemania.
    While it was a great swerve it was a big mistake by the WWF, here are the
    reasons why:

    Austin getting bigger pops then the Rock in recent weeks

    All the anti Rock signs in the crowd lately

    The Rock was waaaaaaaaaay better as a heel then a face

    The crowd STILL cheering when Austin won.

    Austin should have stayed face and the Rock should have turned heel!

    Pure comedy here
    Test. This guys gimmick is good as anyone, the next HBK perhaps and his music is good too. he needs a
    singles compitition push. I dont care If he doesn't talk but just make him
    wrestle.

    Gangrel and Edge. These guys should get a ? belt or join the
    Undertaker or something. The way there going there becoming jobbers fast.

    Jarret. self explanatory

    Tori: she has destroyed Kane, makes him look like a fool, when he
    should be among the elite. She should just pal up with another waste
    of time, like..

    X pac: the punk only has one move, and im sick of seeing it...his
    pathetic backward kicks. He is a waste of time, and should be over

    New Age Outlaws: Billy Gunn has a couple of OK moves, the
    jackhammer being his best, but his personality ruins everything.
    And the Road Dogg looks like an idiot, who likes this guy ANYWAY?

    Stephanie: should just shut up and look slutty. Its all she has
    going for her. She looks pathetic doing the DX chop

    British Bulldog: Davey Boy is shadow of the man he was when
    Dynamite was his partner. He looks ridiculous, and he can take the
    Posse with him to lame land

    why are some of these guys on TV every week when talents like Gangrel
    have disappeared?

    They use love Test back in the day
    https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/alt.pro-wrestling.wwf/slBPDk3Vae0
    In my opinion these are the wrestlers that we should one day see as world
    champion in the WWF.

    WRESTLERS PROBABILITY
    Test 10
    Shamrock(when he returns) 8
    Mark Henry 7
    (He's contracted to WWF til 2007 so it is likely)
    Road Dogg 8
    Badd ? 8
    Edge 7.5
    X-Pac 7.5
    Goldust 7
    Val Venis 6.5
    Al Snow 6.5
    n my opinion, the top stars in 10 years time will be (and compared to
    current stars):

    1. Jeff Hardy (next shawn michaels)
    2. Test (next dominant big man, i.e. Undertaker or Diesel)
    3. Edge
    4. Christian
    5. Stevie Richards
    6. D-Lo Brown (next Rock)
    8. Lita

    lol at the bolded

    If the WWF has Austin Beat HHH cleanly for the title I WILL NEVER
    WATCH THE WWF AGAIN. I mean come on, a fat out of shape red neck that
    does not have an drop of wrestling ability beating the best man in
    wrestling Today, maybe of all time. The wwf has gone too far this time.
    HHH has been busting his ass off for years and is the best damb wrestler
    in the world and what does he get for his hard work. TO be beat by some
    ? who can't wrestle.
    https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/alt.pro-wrestling.wwf/Jqnavl_GEvQ
    If Austin beats Triple H cleanly at Survivor Series it will truly show to me
    that the writers have no intelligence at all. Austin is only a mid-carder
    after his injury. I thought he was gonna fall down the ramp on Smackdown
    when he was running toward the ring.
    I don't think any intelligent person could truly believe that Austin could
    beat Triple H without interference. Austin and Rock fending off all 4
    Radicalz was bad enough, but beating Trip is a whole different thing, I
    think everyone knows that Trip is the number 1 and that Austin is so well
    below his best.
    I just have this feeling the SCSA is gonna have another 'invincible' run
    again and it will just make watching unentertaining.......any opinions?

    I cant understand why everybody still boos ? Holly. First of all,
    he has some of the most kick-ass music i have heard. as soon as i hear
    it i want to pump my fist in the air and hurt somebody.

    And he talks some good smack without having the same stupid repetitive
    lines. And hey, he can wrestle too.


    My prediciton is he will turn into the NEXT peoples champ, because for a
    long time, everyone booed the Rock, and now they love him. ?
    Holly, the NEW peoples champ is next.

    Well at least this next guy wasn't too far off for better or worse
    .I think edge is the next big superstar, and the future of wrestling
    ...i bet in 3 or 4 years , him and jeff hardy will headline
    wrestlemania 20 !....give me a hell yeah , if you agree !
    Ummm, why does the WWF only have 3 wrestlers? OK, that's an obvious
    understatement but you have to admit the talent pool in the WWF has turned
    into a kids wading pool over the last few years. From having so many names,
    so much talent, so many angles and stories to this. Rock vs HHH, HHH vs
    Rock, Rock n HHH vs Big Show, Rock vs HHH. Maybe the talent pool is more
    akin to one of those inflatable pools with the mini turtle slide.

    I'm probably one of the few that have no loyalties between WWF and WCW, but
    lately WCW has been more entertaining. IMHO.
    All the Stone cold car incident facts have arrisin.
    It all goes back to when Owen Hart tombstoned Austin and did his neck
    in, this got Austin Anrgy. So to pay him back, Austin tampered with Owens
    safety harness which resulted in Owen Harts own neck to break and theresofre
    resulted in his untimely death.
    Bret HArt (Owens brother) put two and two together and mowed down Austin
    in the car park finishing off Austins neck, and his wrestling career.

    The end of this apalling turns of events.

    ^ LMAO
    You wanna talk about the WWF's current version of Hogan? Think Austin. Think
    back to the PPV before the Raw that HHH one his first title. It was threeway
    with Ventura as special ref. Austin REFUSED to drop the title to Triple H
    because he didn't think he was in his league. Triple H had to go and win it
    the next night. How's that for a Hogan comparision?
    1. McMahons taking centre stage. the people want to see wrestlers. Does
    everybody not think that Vince was better as a commentator, the promoter
    promoting his own company.

    2. Every Raw and Smack Down has 20 minutes of interviews. We want wrestling
    action!

    3.Unbelievable story lines the marriage of Triple H /Steph, Foley's first
    'retirement'

    4. Poor mic skills - Steph, Shane, Linda, Big Show I'm looking in your
    direction

    5. The Rock's catchphrases suck

    6. Talented wrestlers who need good angles X Pac and Kane.

    7. Remember when Test was engaged to Steph- he was over with the fans but
    they didn't follow it up. Now he's back to jobbing.

    8. Jericho is the best all round athlete in WWF-push him (further)

    9. Backstage ? involving Bossman, Terri and Head cheese

    10. The minute Austin and Undertaker come back WWF ratings will increase.
    until Vince screws Austin over at a PPV. Yawn .

    More love for Test
    > Test
    > ***Looks good, but those buck teeth... Still, it's not holding Holly back
    > much? Aligning him with the Union is cool - three top-liners and Test kind
    > of makes Test a top-liner by default. Needs to rely less on the Big Boot
    > (the most hideous move in wrestling history)***
    Its a good idea to algin him with established stars such as mankind etc,
    they a good crowd reaction as does Test. I think that Test would also make
    a good ? wrestler.
    There should be a special has-been-cant-wrestle match between stone
    cold and the rock at survivor series.
    The championship belts seem to be like Stephanie McMahon at the moment,
    everyone gets a turn.

    There are too many freakin' belts! What next? Bring back the WCW ?
    Championship and all the ECW Titles?

    This is insane.
    Although Rock -vs- Austin at Wrestlemania isn't the ideal match I'd want to
    see in that main event it looks as if that may well happen if Rock can beat
    Kurt Angle at NWO.

    If this is the main event will this result in either Rock or Austin turning
    heel or will they use the match to play 2 of their top faces against
    eachother to see who really is the most popular of the two?.

    I've said this many times before but I feel that Rock needs a heel turn, he
    seems to be getting more stale than ever and if I were Vince, I'd consider
    revamping the Rock.
    I totally agree with you. Most ppl who criticize Rock ignore the
    fact that he is the reason why WWF is so big now so why fix
    something that isn't broken? Every time I watch Raw or Smackdown
    the pop he receives is always bigger than any other so-called
    "better" wrestler. Even Jericho does not have his popularity. I
    think a lot of his critics just want to go against the mainstream
    by trying to popularize this notion of him not being a true
    wrestler. Fact is even if he wants to do technical moves a la
    Benoit, Jericho, or Eddy Vince Mac would not let him do it so why
    even argue?
    The Rock has an arsenal of a collective 5 moves and that includes that thing he does with his tongue during
    the mic part.
    The Rock's German suplex on Chris Benoit (RAW 07/08/00) was sloppy and
    downright dangerous. The Rock should immediately be sent south to work on
    his technique before his lack of skill and ability causes someone serious
    injury.

    This is not an opinion, it is a statement of fact.
    OK, first off - Wasn't Eddie's frogsplash a tribute to his old tag team partner that passed away?

    And now Chavo does it as a tribute to his uncle that passed away. Some things never change.

    Awww ? look at these ? hyped about Juan Cena coming to WWE. What a difference 13 yrs makes.
    If you don't know who the Prototype is, he is a wrestler from UPW who is
    very talented and very soon, he will be wrestling a dark match at a coming
    RAW in Southern California, along with some other UPW wrestlers who have
    been signed by the WWF. WWF has signed over 12 wrestlers from the UPW
    Wrestling School.

    The Prototype claims to be "half-machine, half-man:" He is perhaps the
    greatest talent in a long time to come to WWF. I don't know when he will
    have his first real match, but with any luck it will be soon.
    A few weeks ago I caught a documentary type show on the Discovery Channel (I
    think) about pro-wrestling and they featured wrestlers from UPW, Prototype
    being among them. Man, what a ? !! And he looked pretty good in the ring
    too. I don't think it'll be too long before we see him in the televised
    matches.

    Reactions to "I did it for The Rock"
    Rikishi Did It ! Nobody guessed it or came close . What is with the
    racism angle ? Doesn't Vince know about the WCW racism lawsuit ? This
    is going to get some Major Heat , I mean real life heat . Did you hear
    the pop Hogan recieved when Rikishi said his name ? Rikishi vs Austin
    , well i'm not sure of this angle at all . Guess we will have to wait
    and see where Vinny Mac takes this . Personally there were so many
    other greater angles . Such as :

    Shawn Michaels did it for his buddy HHH and because his last match was
    with Austin , this makes sense .
    Debra did it because > 1.) to have Austin to herself 2.) Austin
    made Jarrett , who she managed , leave WWF for WCW so she wanted
    revenge .
    Hell even Rock did it to get to the top .
    Big Show because he took Austins "spot" that night and won his 1st WWF
    World title.

    Rikishi ? I'm lost on this one . Vince I hope you know what you're
    doing , because i'm guessing nobody else does !
    rikishi? totally blind sided me, but when you think about it, it does make
    sense. i mean, rikishi was new to the WWF at that time, so he knew that his
    character would not get main event status. so, in order for his people to
    gain the recognition they deserve, he takes out the top guy to make room for
    the rock. it makes perfect sense. i dont know about everyone else, but i
    find this to be an interesting angle. you dont know what is going to happen
    next; will rock become a heel because of this, or will he become more of a
    face? this is probably more interesting to me because i am a pacific
    islander too, but i think this angle can go far. many different paths can
    come out of it. will SCSA be ? at rikishi, rock, or the both of em?
    will the rock get into a fued with austin, or will rikishi mix it up with
    SCSA? or will the rock and rikishi battle? i personally think this is very
    interesting, and can elevate rikishi into main event status. i also noticed
    that rikishi got mixed reactions. this is puzzling to me considering he took
    out SCSA, the main man in the WWF. i am still rather shocked at what
    happened, and i have no clue where this is going to lead. it is true that
    the island people arent exactly known for their WWF titles, but i dont think
    its a racism thing. looking out for your people isnt considered racism, but
    i can see where people can say it might be. i expect big things out of this,
    and you must admit, you never expected this. WWF just got fresh again,
    woohoo, i luv it.....
    Who the hell gives a damn about an Austin/Rikishi feud? Ok, so chalk
    another one up to Vince for surprising the smart marks, but Jesus, this
    is the dumbest angle ever. Rikishi gets cheap pops for rubbing his ass
    in peoples' faces. He's NOT "main-event" enough to be remotely
    interesting against Austin. Bleah.

    Still holding out the hope that this is a lame swerve and the real
    driver was HBK or someone with frigging main-event caliber.
    Where are all you experts at now?

    I remember posts such as, "? Foley did it", "Billy Gunn did it," Hell, I
    even thought Debra did it. Nobody in this whole usenet saw this one coming,
    not even all the wrestling websites.

    Goes to show you can never figure out the news from the rumour. Now, I read
    these posts and everyone is speechless. Especially about the "island boys"
    angle.

    I'm waiting to see someone claim they knew this all along, this came from
    left field, big time.

    People hated Jericho
    how ? feasible would it be to have Chris Jericho as WWF champ?
    sure, i give him mad credit for his mic skills, which are even gettin a
    little annoyin as of late, but his wrestlin skills are ? ! the ONLY
    good move he has is the drop kick off the rope. his punches are lame as
    ? , his knee shots to the chest and face look pathetic and
    that 'walls of Jericho' is one of the most ridiculous submission moves
    i have ever seen. how does he, or whoever came up with that stupid
    submission, actually think that move would actually hurt at all? at
    least the figure-4 leg-lock really does hurt when applied right as do
    other submissions. and like i said before, his suckin up to the crowd
    constantly makes him look like a ? . the way he lands in that spring-
    board moonsault off the rope is softer than Downy-washed clothes for
    ? -sake. i know he's not supposed to hurt the wrestlers but he has to
    make it LOOK like he hurts them at least. i don't care how much
    screamin and rantin JR does, Jericho needs to improve his performace
    skills dramatically AND he needs to turn full-heel. i can't believe
    that no one else can notice these obvious faults. Jericho-->mic work '8'
    -->in-ring performance '0'
