Hes expensive, and nobody is going to buy a PPV for him.

WCW used him because they didn't care about wasting money at the time.

He was a plus for some entrances.

Then again that was a pretty great entrance for Goldberg.

They have plenty of people who can go in it's just they aren't going to induct people they don't have good relationships with and they also feel that they need to induct 7-8 people per year. I fully expect Scotty 2 Hotty to be inducted in 2013.

X-Pac heat basically means that the fans aren't booing you because you are a really good heel and they want to see you get your rear end kicked, but they just do not like you and want you to go away. Or they'll just give you no reaction at all. I GUESS it started with X-pac so they call it X-Pac heat.

It really depends on who you ask with Hogan. People have lost a lot of respect for him over the years.

Big Show had the main title in 2002 and the ECW title. Kane had the ECW.

Are there any good podcasts that talk about ROH/Chikara/other indies? And by good, I like Wrestling Observer's radio show.

Also, is it really worth subscribing to the Observer? I have tons of time at work to listen to music/podcasts, but are the shows worth the 10 bucks a month?

The shows can be really fun. When I signed up the latest show had just come out and it was recapping ECW, TNA Barbed Wire Christmas Tree episode & them reading parts the leaked TNA Script for January 2008 which I for some reason still have on my Computer.

Also if you want free Puro days after it happens all you have to do is go to the Moderated Wrestilng Section of the forum.

Hungry Hungry Hippo posted:

I have a question (of sorts, at least)
Back in Summerslam 2008, Undertaker slammed Edge through the ring, sending Edge to Hell, if you will. Now, I'm pretty sure...like 99% sure that at some point I read that someone from WWE Creative said that they were ready to bring Edge back, but they just needed to figure out a way to explain his return.

Then, all of a sudden, Edge returned at Survivor series and won the WWE championship and as far as I'm aware, they never explained or even mentioned his "visit to Hell" from Summerslam.

So, my actual question is: Did I miss something obvious, or did they just go all Kane on the continuity and just brought him back without explaining or even mentioning his absence?

I think they did it because they thought it was cool but didn't realize how ridiculous it was.

Just catching up on this thread, and now I'm excited for WH2K Secret Santa! Luckily my friend gave me a bag full of WCW action figures recently...

I was actually planning on making a thread for everyone to post what kind of stuff they like and who their favorites are, so people can look at that if they don't know what to get them.

His stint was for many years. WWE used to have a Cruiserweight division and he wound up winning the title and holding it for a few months. While he was champion I think Vince was souring on the Division and London has said that he was actually told to stop doing high flying moves like the 450 and SSP.

He teamed up with Brian Kendrick for a few years and they wound up being the longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions (SmackDown belts) in WWE.


After they lost the belts they did nothing with London, then got rid of him.

I almost forgot to mention with London & Kendrick, they had them save HHH from an attack and then HHH just pedigreed the both of them.

I gots a question for all you smarks (if this is the wrong term I'm sorry) out there.

How does Russo keep getting hired? He seems to be hated by just about everybody (Hogan & some other wrestlers that escape me, I think WWE won't even hire him), and his writing is constantly trashed by both industry people, and casual fans.

Is it a case of "he has relevant experience with a number of companies so we'll hire him"? Is there just no one else willing to write wrestling (I'll do it)? Please, tell me how someone who is just so drat hated, with a track record like his, keeps finding work.
