JackFetch Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I just think you're a little too critical of the wrestlers at times. As if anything less than absolute perfection means they should be fired immediately. In order to be in the best wrestling company in the world making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year or more, and on international tv every week absolute perfection is what is expected.

MaxPower Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah but they are only human, seriously it never has been, nor will it ever be perfect. Besides, aren't you just comparing him to his best, instead of the company average? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a pretty binkered approach to promotion. If you want perfection then a great many acts will never be in a position to get over. Its their current addiction to hard bodies and uniform looks that keeps great talent like Colt Cabana in a jobber position. The kind of pressure you describe is what leads to talent like William Regal using steroids, for fear that their look isn't good enough to justify a push. WWE would be twice the promotion it is right now if developmental wasn't churning out such generic talent. Its all just the search for the next Cena or Rock, they hardly ever take a guy with other merits. Santino is a major reason people watch Raw and the man can't even wrestle. Just imagine if they worked towards developing personalities over looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 He's had plenty of time to get in shape. He could have worked out and lost some weight the last few months at least. Otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back now. But… he broke his neck. His neck. His neck. It’s scary how it’s not even that big a deal in wrestling these days.

JackFetch Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Look at the top talent in all 3 brands and tell me they don't go by looks. You simply can't be a guy that looks like he just stepped off the street and expect to stick around. This is the WWE, not TNA or ROH where you can get away with that. They let Cherry go because she wasn't athletic looking. Where did D-Lo Brown go? Do you really think Samoa Joe could get over in the WWE looking like he does? Good looking people and monsters is what the WWE is about. Yes, his neck was broken, but after his rehab, he should have been training. He obviously wasn't.

Stavros Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 CM Punk looks like a dirty hobo but he's been improbably over ever since he debuted. Do you really think that Zach Ryder is a better investment for the WWE than Punk was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine if they worked towards developing personalities over looks. I've heard that Santino can wrestle, but he is so good on the mic, he really doesn't need to right now. I was right! I was right! Al Snow was the mystery man at the TNA crappy PPV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 8, 2008 Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 Al Snow was the mystery man at the TNA crappy PPV. This is awesome. He's actually my first choice for the role but the last guy I thought they'ed pick. Snow would be a good addition as a wrestler/agent to TNA.

Guest DCAUFan1051 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 the only entertaining thing about RAW was the melina/beth/santino thing other then that it was a generic episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFetch Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 They haven't used her decently in years, and she's always doing business ventures outside wrestling. I think she'll be fine. I had hoped they would use her as a trainer for the divas, but that probably won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 That's shit. Victoria was a good wrestler. Plus she could do comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 John Morrison's gyrating during his entrance is hilarious, he's taken that gimmick to fantastic new levels recently. I can hardly believe I was against the change from Johnny Nitro. With his charisma, athleticism and ability he's probably my favorite guy in wrestling right now.

Guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I love how the brand split is so utterly useless at this point that a team from ECW has now won both the Raw and Smackdown tag titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Robinson Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 So for some reason they showed Afterburn on free to air T.V yesterday. I was kind of surprised when I saw Helms. After Jack’s comments I was expecting him to look a bit flabby, but he looked fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
