I think what azareal is trying to say is that wee is too dependent on storyline driven matches that end the same on a constant basis.

Look at Christian vs Jericho at WM20, that was an unexpected bombshell at the end because everyone was rooting for Jericho and expected him to win.

Personally I did like the whole sheamus winning the belt at TLC story(or Armageddon if you will). But they continuously used cena, having him call for rematches over and over only to have sheamus removed from the equation and replaced with Batista.

There goes a perfect opportunity to push a new star,as raw needs more star power in general as cena and Batista hit the glass ceiling and the respective careers for those two won't be going any higher.

Understand that the whole point of me saying what I said was that, I would like to see a match with REAL results where the match isnt fixed. I said I couldnt fully respect what they did cuz the winners are picked, you cant really tell who is the better man or woman of that match. That was my whole point of what i said. I know its fixed, I just wish they could do a match where we could see some REAL results atleast that way someone can honestly say they earned a championship title. Cuz if it was me, I couldnt feel 100% happy knowin that I didnt really beat a guy for a belt since the winner was predetermined and since you arent the only person in the world to feel the way you feel I know its a chance its some of the WWE superstars and divas that feel the same way I do. I respect the stunts they pull off and what they do as far and getting slammed through and hit with objects for our entertainment but thats as far as my respect goes for the business. I cant give them my full respect due to the fact that, as a man or woman and just being a competitor in anything, You would wanna know who is TRULY and HONESTLY the best at something but you can never find that out if the winners are already chosen to win before the matches even get started.
 Now even though this might be a 99.9% pipedream and prob wont ever happen, thats not the point, I was just giving my thoughts and my opinions on the topic.

Uh, there's no way for anyone to beat anyone else in prowrestling unless they start going stiff.  That kind of match will just turn into a flurry of stiff punches, hard bodyslams, and some real submission holds.  Just watch UFC if you want that stuff.

I was just about to post that.

If that's what you are looking for Azareal, then you have to watch UFC

Breaking News:

Maria, Paul Burchil, and The Hurricane have been released from WWE today

[♦ßlôödÑinjå♦]

Awesome now if they could just get rid of everyone else.

[DrZaius]

Paul Burchill and The Hurricane... I remember when they were feuding in ECW.

These characters could easily replace any other bland character they have who are new and can't wrestle that well.  The guys above can at least wrestle well.

Paul Burchill could easily replace Drew McIntyre... even though he's a little shorter.

That sucks. Those two were pretty cool though knowing WWE it was bound to happen. >.>

Surprised about Maria being let go though. She's a fan fav when it comes to "Divas" and was just starting to have a story line with Matt. I'll miss seeing her around, think she was the most attractive and had one of the best character personalities out of any of the girls there.

[JDubbs]

very glad to see Maria gone. she does absolutely nothing and gets Diva of the year

and as far as Honkey Tonk Man, http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2010/0226/485685/mick-foley/index.shtml

The main problem they had was there was this hero that never had a villain. So, what could they do but ruin it.? Remember when Jamal (or whatever his name was) was his sidekick or something. They could of easily had him turn heel to be the villain. They just never did enough to boost that gimmick that could of worked so well.

and as far as Honkey Tonk Man, http://wrestlinginc.com/wi/news/2010/0226/485685/mick-foley/index.shtml

"If Elizabeth had come with me instead of Luger, she might still be alive today" Ouch. That must've stung like a metal plated elbow to the face.. No, wait..

Yeah good point. that would have been great if the sidekick became heel. They could have made crimes being commited through out the WWF fpr weeks & Hurricane was trying to figure out who was doing it. After about a month or so Jamal would have revealed himself as the criminal mastermind with new powers. Came up with some story how he thought Hurricane was jealous of him so he had to do all this. You know a cliche " I went crazy & led me to crime " story

"If Elizabeth had come with me instead of Luger, she might still be alive today" Ouch. That must've stung like a metal plated elbow to the face.. No, wait..

Brutal, but true.

On another note. D*mn vince fired Maria on her 28th birthday, that heartless bast*rd.

I liked Maria!

Good on WWE for releasing a Diva who just takes up space.  She can't wrestle.

As for The Hurricane, this is what he gets for punching Jericho.

[ceefus]

The Hurricane is going to TNA  he might keep the gimmick  And Call him The Tornado  or  THe Psunami    What you think   i dont think they will still call him Gregory Helms    TNA =  The Tornado

Seems he "Hurra-Punched" Jericho and others in the car. XD

Wouldn't be surprised if Jericho had a say in getting rid of him though. Such crap.

[DrZaius]

At least he didn't give him... THE HURRI-SLAM.

Weren't they hinting a good while back that Rock would host also.? Haven't seen any mention of that since. Remember they had him via satellite during some PPV, just don't remember which one or what for.

[KPT25]

Well,MITB ladder match roster goes as follows:

Christian,MVP,Kane,Jack Swagger,Shelton Benjamin,Matt Hardy,Dolph Ziggler and Evan Bourne,who just qualified as the last man moments ago.This seems to be a very interesting one

Also,ShoMiz will defend the tag titles against...John Morrison and R-Truth...

Oh,and i forgot,Sheamus vs Triple H

And Austin 3:16 will be hosting Raw next week...
