I think Morrison has this one in the bag. Miz is getting better no doubt, but he has no business winning this match. They may have been close to the same level during their days as a tag team, but at this point Morrison is head and shoulders above Miz on the WWE totem pole. All the more reason Miz should win, really. This is coming from a big Morrison fan, too. I just dont see a loss hurting Morrison, as he rarely loses anymore. I highly doubt it would be a clean loss either. So I would rather Miz won, assuming WWE is really serious about pushing him. Even if Morrison loses here I doubt it would derail his heat or the fast track to a World Title that hes currently on. |

Hornswoggle thought it was a bouncy castle and ruined it backstage.

Watching this with them talking about Severn and Shamrock fighting in UFC made me realize just how much has changed.
MMA fighters used to try and transition to pro wrestling for the big money after making their names in the Octagon. Now pro wrestlers want to get into MMA. Kinda sad.
Also, LOL @ GI Bro screaming like he knows he is about to die from that German.

If only the WWE had something like the Varsity Club. He'd fit right in, there. Actually now that I think about it, it would be a pretty good idea to get another Varsity Club going. Bring in Nowinski to be the mouthpiece, then pair Swagger up with a good wrestler who isn't doing anything like Haas and you have another instant good team to throw into the burgeoning WWE tag scene. That would help both of them get over, developing characters and credibility without having to talk much or be stuck jobbing in the midcard. |

Needs more No Mercy and DOR 2. Without those under consideration this poll is pointless.

He reminds me of Chris Nowinski without any actual gimmick and a shred of the mic skills.
He is sorta the Eric Angle to Chris Nowinskis Kurt.
There is still time for him to develop of course. They could do a lot more with his gimmick though. I get that douchey jock vibe from him but he needs to go all out with his character like say, Zack Ryder. So far I haven't got much from him beyond WRESTLER GUY.

As much as it would've been a great match i doubt it would've happened. They always try and give Shawn big star big name matches at WM and Eddie just wasnt a big enough star. Now watch my logical post get ripped apart with "lulz did Eddie touch u az a kidd" If Eddie is a big enough star to face Kurt Angle in a title match at Mania or Rey Misterio in a featured match, why wouldn't he be big enough to face HBK? If anything, your post is illogical given the history of Eddie in WWE at the time. It would have just been a non title, featured match. Similar to Jericho vs. HBK or, well, the majority of HBKs Mania matches since he came back. |

Many hated the WWF product because of the lack of wrestling on RAW and some even prefered WCW for that reason, because at least WCW had Guerrero, Benoit, Malenko, Mysterio, Kidman, etc to go out there and wrestle for 10 minutes. There was a notable online backlash against The Rock, saying he couldn't wrestle (sound familiar?) As for accessing it today, go to Google and search wrestling 1999 related keywords for 'Groups' and some stuff should come up. There's also Herb Kunze's old wrestling tibits reports still online: rspw.org/tidbits/Yeah, I personally watched WCW for match quality and WWF for the angles and storyline. Sure WCW had the nWo but eventually that got stale, while the match quality was still good. Once WCW started becoming WWE Lite [and yes, it happened before Russo] I started watching less and less. Then WWF match quality picked up. |

The time has come*CAW cuts a promo in the ring*A struggle for dominanceJR: "Somebody stop this!" The victor will be decided*Triple H lands a DDT on CAW*King: "These two guys will kill each other!" *Triple H and CAW face off in the ring*Who will be left standing? Those PPV video packages were fun, but admittedly got tiresome after seeing the same ones over and over. I especially liked how they would always show the guy you controlled getting the piss beat out of him. You would see him take chairshots and finisher after finisher, and if it showed your guy doing any offense it would be something weak like kicks or punches. |

One of my favorite WWE games along with DOR 2 and No Mercy.
I like SYMs roster a bit more since it has guys like Raven, Hogan, and DDP. HCTP definitely has the better gameplay though.

The most annoying thing about this debate to me is anytime I see people complaining about PG WWE, the defenders immediately bring up the Attitude Era an attempt to poke holes in it by mentioning that not everything about it was good.
As if there is anyone out there who thought the Attitude Era was perfect all the time. Of course it wasn't. "Mea Young! Hand! Birth of! Choppy choppy pee pee! Women getting beat up!"
I give you "YOURE AN EEEEEEEENISSSSSSS!" That was another throwaway segment that was as bad as the hand thing. The Chavo vs. Hornswoggle saga, for another. The Diva Battle Royal at WM ending with a crossdresser winning. This era has as much crap as Attitude or any other era for that matter.
They also like to infer that if you dont like PG or the current braindead booking that you must want the product to go back to being ultra violent ECW style, or filled with sex and bad language. I see very few people on here saying that parading naked women around or putting people through flaming tables on a weekly basis is going to instantly improve the product.
Its just that when WWE advertises a Hell in the Cell PPV I expect a little more than a chinlock to John Cena while he is tied up in the ropes. If that is the best WWE can do, there is a problem to me. I grew up on 80s WWF which was much more cartoony and geared towards kids than it is today and there was still blood and a measure of brutality when there needed to be.
Now the product is very sterile and it shows. It takes me out of the product when two guys are fighting in a HIAC and there isn't a drop of blood or really anything that shows me why a HIAC is brutal or something to take seriously.

I cant wait until Christian gets drafted to one of the main rosters and then goes on to headline WWE No Countout Match!

Superstars is definitely awesome. I dont watch it every week, but I try to catch it when I get a chance. Especially if you dig the midcard guys on each brand, its a must see. Barring ECW which almost always has solid matches, it typically has the beat wrestling action across the shows.

That segment was pretty bad. Painful, even.
I dont understand why the BP need three people anyways. It would make sense if LVE was good in the ring, but she isn't. Velvet is better than her, at least she can throw a clothesline.

Why should he appear in WWE for his career to be complete?
A bunch of guys didn't appear in WCW but I would still consider them legends and to have complete careers. I would rather Sting not show up on WWE programming at all, barring a well deserved HOF induction, and even then it wouldn't make me think he wasn't a legend or had an incomplete career if he didn't.
Maybe for his career to be complete to ten year old marks Sting should appear.

Sandman

Post by Bubble Lead on Oct 8, 2009 23:30:21 GMT -5
Yeah, come on. I like ECW Sandman and all that but he's just one of many ECW guys who were protected heavily by a promotion that needed to cover all weaknesses whenever and wherever possible. Part of the job of a booker is to cover weaknesses and book to someones strengths, though. Look at the majority of WWE main eventers. They arent technical marvels, in some cases not even the strongest mic workers or the most charismatic. Yet WWE books them in a way that makes them look good and has fans overlook the aspects they are lacking in. Cena wouldn't get over in the indies but in WWE he is the top guy. Do I think Sandman would usher WWE into a new era of prosperity, no. Do I think he could have been an upper midcard or higher with the right booking, yeah. Especially in Attitude Era WWE, or at the tail end of Attitude. |

Considering I watched the match live that f***ed up his back, no.
I think it was legit. I also think he could have came back sooner than he did but used the time to get his life back together.
So I am saying it was half and half. Either way it doesn't matter, WWE was much better for it and so was HBK.
