I don't think they jumped the gun because the only way they really found out was from the MRI...naturally the trainers are going to have to assume only with the knowledge they know ie - arm swelling (which looks really nasty) and the pain...and Kennedy needs the fucking title...It makes me wonder if they're going to revive the Kennedy-Taker feud

It's certainly a new fued, I don't see why not. Thier fued ended at No mercy last year right?

Really blows that he lost the MIB though.

Eh, the only reason he lost it was because of the injury

Agreed. Anyone outside of an original being ECW champion at this point in the revitalization is a massive slap in the face. Vince doesn't seem to see ECW as most do. He sees it as a televised version of OVW or one of his other training grounds.

The way ECW is being run these days kind of reminds me of The End of Evangelion. Fans wanted another ending, and Anno gives it to them, but in the worst possible way imaginable. Vince is doing the same exact thing. Fans wanted ECW back, and Vince says "Okay, but we're gonna do it my way. Suck on it."

Yeah, it's funny how he does that. I guess everyone already knows that the psyched out personality he plays on TV is nothing but a more extroverted version of who he really is.

Well, they thought it was much worse than it is.

Triple H wants to be a heel when he comes back, but he's going to be face for a couple of months and fued with Orton when he does. Then he'll go back to being heel, which means it'll be time again for the "Triple H Title Whore Show" I wish he'd just stay face, but every time he goes face, he has some damn injury. Sucks DX died, because it was supposed to be around longer than it was.

Orton is also becoming the "whipping boy" of WWE now. Being punished for the hotel room incident and also his push has gone bye bye.

Well, when HHH does come back I hope he's taken the time to getting back into shape. The way he did when he came back early 2002. I mean, it's like a DX habit of his, getting sloppy and all.

I need to make a more concentrated effort to find the times and days of the airing of these shows here in Guatemala. I want to get into the mix with you guys again. I remember when we started this thread and some of the early problems. =o

Hopefully this time there won't be any of that "Evolution" crap that was going on in his last heel run. Is it just me, or does HHH become Vince's personal Yes Man every time he goes heel?

You didn't like that? I thought it was pretty neat myself.

Heel stables have never really been a big thing with me, unless there's an equal face stable to battle with them, which hasn't been the case since the Invasion Storyline. Evolution was just running rampant basically against Batista. Kind of like Vince and his posse are running rampant on Bobby Lashley right now. DX versus the Spirit Squad was entertaining, but it was still a "David vs. Goliath" thing.

Yeah, it was like a Four Horsemen without a Dungeon of Doom to contest it. You have a point on that. But what sort of group would be good aganst a foe group like that?

I still don't understand why Lashley gets all this special treatment.

Well seeing that Evolution was more or less a basic amalgamation of heels and one legend, a counter-group would more or less just be the opposite. Something like the old DX versus the Corporation.

Maybe because he isn't pulling a Chris Masters. :)

Jokes aside(sorry Masters =PPPPPPP), he isn't getting special treatment. He is on WWECW. The show for rejects who aren't worthy for pushes, with a fake ass title. He was getting somewhere when he was on SD.

What happened with the masterpiece? =p He had a gay angle like Luger did with the Narcissist shit.

Masters was using steriods I think(lol at the luger comment) which was why he was so big. He got suspended for it and had to lose that mass. The funny thing though is Vince supposedly TOLD him to take that stuff. Now no one takes the guy seriously, I mean damn, he SHRUNK XD.

I'm glad he will come back and not pedigree HBK or some violent shit, like throw him through a car window. He does make a good heel - but eh yea, the whole never lose the belt thing.

Hey atleast he would be a REAL champion and not a rock wannabe like Cena :D.

Wow, this is just sad.

Never have I seen such an accurate description of the new ECW.

Although, they did have a nice stable vs. stable thing with the New Breed and the Originals there for a while. If they had more old school matches instead of the once in a blue moon Extreme Rules match, ECW would rock 20 times harder than it does.

As for Masters, his whole deal is crap. The Masterlock challenge... GHAHAHAHA. If it were something like a Figure Four or a modified Full Nelson, it'd be at least somewhat realistic, but you've really got to act to make it seem like the Masterlock is an inescapable hold.

Quoted for the truth, Cena needs to lose the title right freakin now. Khali, I hope that you get the job done.

I was pulling for Cena for a long long time, but it's true. Cena needs to let it go. HBK should have won it. Shit, at this point I'd actually welcome a HHH heel turn with him as Champion to get Cena out of there.

Agreed, HBK should have won the title at Wrestlemania. For all I care, Gillberg could come back and take the title from him...even though the only time he ever got a spear to work was on Shane McMahon.

I'm amazed they haven't had Lashley do the Jackhammer yet, really. He's like a black Goldberg.

I got to looking closely at Vince's head with that do-rag on.. and I could swear I see hair where side burns usually are. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a bald-wig professionally done and a "fake" head of hair was shaved and that's why he has the do-rag so people would think he was shaved bald.

Haha, I'd just like to see Gillberg come back period. Sparklers = SAFEST ENTRANCE EVER.

As for Vince being a baldy boy, I figure since it's been about a month and a half since he was shaved, I think it's probably growing back by now.

I dunno, this doesn't look like a typical month's worth of growth. Of course it probably is and my eyes are playing tricks on me :tpg:

You could be right, after all, before Kurt Angle adopted the new bald-head look he currently has, I could have sworn he was wearing a bald cap.

Except the guy's lucky if he's even half as strong.

I think we're used to seeing bald people that usually spend their life, or the last year or so, bald. With wrestlers like Angle and MacMahon, people that aren't really ever bald, it looks odd as hell and the entire head probably lacks any sort of tan at that point.

Hell if I know.
