Are we too forgiving to NXT? I don't think so. Are you far too hard on NXT? I think so. It's actually the first mainstream product from the wrestling business that I find refreshing. I don't even look into it as deep as you do. They aren't just building new talent, they're actually building characters, and when NXT is over, and those dudes are on either RAW or Smackdown, I will not only know who they are, but what they're about, on almost an exhausted level. That's not something I can say for a lot of new talent in WWE. These guys are getting a build that not many other people have the opportunity to get. Just think if Kofi Kingston had this much time to establish his character beyond "Stereotypical Jamaican Wrestler". He made a little headway in his feud with Orton, but I think these guys have already done more in the few short weeks that NXT has been around. Pretty much this. Aren't they doing exactly what everyone has wanted the WWE to do for years? They're bringing in a fresh group of guys and giving them enough time to shine so people will get to know and care about them. It's a pretty good way to let the new guys sink or swim. Well apparently sink since it seems like it's canceled now. |

Basically it was okay for WWE to do it because he worked there and he knew it was in jest and not really personal and gave JR something to do when he was coming back from an attack of Bell's Palsy and got the fans to really come to the side of JR when he came back full time.
However with WCW it was a cheap shot and was petty and very unfunny and led to nothing. If it achieved something fine but it was just mocking a person people liked that didn't go anywhere so yeah not cool whatsoever.
Honestly of course people mock JR because he's become very cliqued like "STONE COLD! STONE COLD!" or "BAH GAWD!" and "It's gonna be a slobberknocker" or "Business is about to pick up!"
I like JR but him commentary of the last few years resembles a bad Smackdown vs. Raw commentary track. But still he's probably one of the best ever but after awhile he just became a parody of himself. However mocking his Bells Palsy is not funny, it's sad.

(I think) My $0.02: Way back in the early 80s, (83?), Satoru Sayama (aka Tiger Mask) got a little pissed off at the promotion in Japan and wrote a tell-all book about the Japanese wrestling biz. The book was called oddly enough "Kay Fabe." I have no idea what this means in English, but nowadays it simply refers to insider info. groups.google.com/group/rec.sport.pro-wrestling/browse_thread/thread/9e86d9f4f25eb676?hl=enHa! Thats awesome I guess we have to thank Paul Heyman, Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo for educating us. |

I mean they were a big tag team back in the day so a legends deal makes sense and honestly I could see them being in the Hall of Fame some day and they deserve to along with The Dudleys, Road Warriors, Steiners, Demolition and Public Enemy. Oh wait I want to add The Gangsters to that list just for New Jack's acceptance speech that would be hilarious!

i think its time for a change..i mean cena isnt a dj/rapper anymore so why does he need the spinner? I understand its good merchandise item and it makes tons of money and thats what its all about but cmon! But it doesn't spin anymore. Apparently that's suppossed to make it more credible or something. So? It still looks like crap. It just represents everything I hate about wrestling today. I can't take anyone holding that belt seriously. Really get rid of it just having "CHAMP" encrusted in diamonds is enough to want to see it destroyed! They need a new title belt, something similar to the new ROH World Heavyweight Title would be cool. |

That's not what you call domination.  Domination is fine but I'd rather see Dominonation! |

Everyone complains about what the product has become and basically I tried to think of all the complaints that are common on this forum. My pick would be the booking of the main event. But what is your pick?

Though I beleave it will go like this Kozlov will be a crazy movie Russian villian, and job to a Guest Host next week. As for Carlito he won't be drafted to Smackdown, and will job or look like a tool to all the guest hosts, kinda like the ant-Santino. Or in other words Carlito will become the new Chavo. |

I can't take her seriously. I mean first off her name Maryse? Everytime I hear her name I think it's Maurice, which to me dosen't sound sexy so that's kind of a deal breaker, second she just looks like another plastic generic blond, I can't understand her most of the time and her voice isn't that sexy it sound's like a feminine Inspector Clouseau. And lastly her wrestling is terrible apart from Jackie Gayda, Christy Hemme and Ashley Massarro it's the worst I've seen. Maurice as I like to call her just sucks!

the last time I cared about anything with the Divas was the awesome Trish Stratus-Mickie James lesbian obsessed fan angle at Wrestlemania. That was just so awesome really just make Mickie a crazy lesbian and I will care about female wrestling again. Mickie trying to get Eve Torres or Kelly Kelly to fall in love with her would be awesome.

Funaki is still Smackdown's #1 announcer, despite having not appeared on the show in several years (to the best of my knowlege). Where does that leave Kung Funaki? When read this fast I thought it said King Funaki. Now i want them to do a new King of the Ring with Funaki winning it so they could make a new action figure "King Funaki does not come with crown as illustrated" |

Carlito's Job Squad could be cool, no pun intended and at least it gives him something to do. Plus it could really get him back in the upper midcard at least where he belongs since when motivated he's good and can do good promos and is pretty good in the ring when he cares. Might as well do this since right now there is absolutely nothing compelling happening in my opinion and it's sort of a change of pace and could get me to care since god knows I could give a crap about HHH, Swagger or Cena.

God this almost feels like TNA booked this it's just so stupid! {Spoiler}How? Orton has a non-title victory over Swagger, and Edge and Jericho were both counted out last Friday. As for Triple H and Sheamus, a street fight makes sense considering they've been brawling the past few weeks. Because it's way to obvious that Orton will win the title and get moved to Smackdown. No drama whatsoever plus like I've said before Swagger needs to look some what strong after how weak he's looked for months and still he gets pushed like a jobber to the stars. Having Orton lose will just keep Orton below people like HHH and Cena, when he's getting much bigger pops than them but on the flip side if Swagger loses he loses all credibility and will end up like Carlito,Kozlov or Shelton and be a low carder on Superstars for life. Terrible booking why not have it be a triple threat and have Swagger retain by benefiting when Edge hits a spear on Jericho thus making him look smart and sneaky. This feud does nothing for either Orton/Swagger/Edge or Jericho and just looks bad. This feud just creates apathy since i want to see Orton against competition I care about not the lisping hoss. |

Totally agree!
I mean how come Seamus and jack Swagger could be World Champions and not MVP? Makes no sense at all at least MVP has a cool gimmick and can actually talk on the mic without looking horrible.

It would be funny if they could get Mel Kiper Jr. from ESPN.
