WWE vs. UFC
I'd be up for talking MMA when every topics come up.

Wrestling thoughts that probably don't deserve
Yep. You just push down on the center thing and more often than not all 3 of the DVDs pop out on you. I can't wait until one of those get scratched.

WWE vs. UFC
I understand that they aren't really the same thing but they are going after a similar fanbase. As I said earlier. Nearly all of my friends that gave up on wrestling when WCW died are now watching the UFC like they used to watch wrestling. I think the WWE would find more of their fans than they realize watching UFC instead of them now. Wrestling should be worried. Look at what was happening in Japan before Pride got booted off tv. The fanbase had lost interest in wrestling in favor of MMA.

WWE vs. UFC
It's kind of surprising this hasn't been mentioned more lately. It was a big deal last year that this was the next national promotion battle. But the last few months have been totally glossed over for the most part. The UFC has in less than a year beaten the WWE in PPV buys. UFC 60 and 61 have both outdrawn Wrestlemania. An average UFC PPV now draws more than an average WWE PPV. WWE still draws bigger tv ratings but they get no money from that and UFC has a higher % of viewers spending money on their PPVs. Like I said, I'm surprised this hasn't been a bigger deal.

RoH ran 3 60 minute draws this month. 2 of them being this weekend. With all the talk of doing a Triple Crown from the fans and then this it really makes them look like they're trying to be 90s All Japan.

What are you watching?
I watched the two Straight Shootin Bill Watts DVDs. I'm left with the impression that he seems to think MMA is the future of wrestling. He brings the UFC up several times on both DVDs and even Pride at one point. He doesn't outright say it but he mentions a lot that they're giving fans what they want instead of wrestling now.

I don't think Hall was quite the monster that Michaels and Nash were as far as not putting people over. He's always seemed extremely willing to lay down for a guy or to make them look good. And even if he beat a guy he usually made them look credible in the process.

It was a little before that. His series with Alex Wright over the cruiserweight title helped and then getting a win over Scott Hall did a lot for him at the time.

I got the Undertaker DVD today at Bestbuy. You know sometimes I think I'm too negative about the WWE as a whole. Sometimes I feel like I should stop my bitching about it. Then things like this happen. Damn do I fucking hate this company. 3 discs all stuffed into the same stupid slot. When you go to get one out the other 2 pop out. Could they have spent less on this piece of shit? I mean OVW fucking spends nothing on their DVDs and they still figured out how to not stack DVDs on top of each other. How many times do I get to watch it before one of the discs gets scratched and I'm SOL?

Kurt Angle = GONE~!
I wasn't brave enough to even bother with the RoH boards. I imagine it's just 10 pages of "OMG ANGLE VS. DANIELSON."

Kurt Angle = GONE~!
It was strongest at DVDVR but I've seen people in denial over his condition at several other places.
-
Kurt Angle = GONE~!
Man reading over other threads I can't believe that people are STILL in fucking denial over how messed up Angle is.

Kurt Angle = GONE~!
I think this is a "we're doing this to save your life" firing.

Brian Pillman DVD Match Listing
Now that's a great looking DVD. Funny how the DVDs turn out better when they aren't obsessed with cramming as much WWF footage in there as possible.

The Guerrero Heel Turn
I think this angle clearly calls for the return of Papa Shango with Eddie as his zombie slave.

The Guerrero Heel Turn
Michaels refused to job on that tribute show to British Bulldog. I'd say that is up there with the current stuff as far as scummy moves go. Hrm? I'm not familiar with this story. Unless you're talking about when Michaels refused to job to Davey in a match that Davey dedicated to his sister dying of cancer. Yeah that's it. I couldn't totally remember the details. But I consider it to be pretty high on the scumbag ladder.

And checking out the goods on his daughter during that wedding episode in 2002.

The way the Kane/Lita rape was handled and it turning Kane face was pretty bad too.

The Brisco one is the one I'm most looking forward to.

The Guerrero Heel Turn
Saba Simba was probably worse overall than the HHH racist angle.

I never read the TSM threads over her leaving but I can only imagine considering how anti-woman that board had become before I left last year.

That'll upset all the jilted smarks that are trying to trash Stacey as an untalented bimbo for leaving their precious wrestling.

Roddy Piper DVD Matchlist
Wow, they've really started getting lazy on their DVDs. All of those matches are easy to get and a lot of them are available on DVDs that have been released recently or will be released soon.

The Guerrero Heel Turn
So kind of an opinion poll here. Is the Vicky Guerrero heel turn the most disgusting thing the WWE has ever done?
