I hope the gimmick to Over The Limit turns out to be the final match goes beyond 11:00 and we have to wait until Raw to find out who is the champion.

Schadenfreude.

Internet still exists buddy
 

It'd be spoiled online in minutes after the PPV connection ended. lol

The match could still be going on when Raw starts, Batista has been dominating Cena for 24 hours but he still won't quit... :shifty:

including a 9 hour nap.

I thought that WAS a big factor :S

However, that's not the reason for the product is crap, the product was steadily getting crappier years before the pg era.


But yeah also AEF, stfu, you stink

Yes like the steroid trials and the Chris Benoit murders.

Yup as every other sport/entertainment has it's steriods/scandals.

We are only human!

Benoit should have stopped doing the headbutts from the top rope.. Has nothing to do really do with steroids.. Too many shots to the head.

You really don't hear of many ECW stars doing what WWE stars do, do you?

Dude, stop.

That's not even funny, making fun of dead people :nono:

And you need to stop making so many threads, they all suck.

You need to stop pretending to be a Dr because you couldn't heal a papercut.

I don't pretend to be a doctor. We discussed this thing long ago here in TPWW and we all know it doesn't mean doctor.:nono:

that IS the most awesome thing i have ever seen, and i've seen so much awesome stuff

New Raw GM = Abraham Washington?
 

Um.. Who the hell is this guy?

Bring in Regal as GM

Speaking of good GMs, I miss Coachman & JBL.

The Fan

God, I hope this isn't true.

Please stop posting

is this an opinion or is this a rumor (source?)....so confused.

LOL @ Kurt Angle "Now I don't know what you just said"

I think the WWE have been pulling the wool over our eyes regarding the Batista situation as well.

I never gave a shit for Bats. BUT I am totally enjoying him since his latest heel turn. He was the most generic face ever but I really love the whole spotlight heel gimmick. Totally works for him.

My honest guess is that something was worked out and he will remain with the company for at least the next six months to 1 year.

Why you may ask? Because he is one of the most hated men in the company at the moment and has easily one of the best heel gimmicks in the company at the moment.


It is just a bit fishy. Does all the internet buzz and controversy strike anyone else as odd given that he has the second top spot in the company currently?

3 months ago I would have said good riddance but now I kinda would like to see him resign for a short term extension to play out this heel role.


Probably just wishful thinking but we'll find out on Sunday I suppose.

Abraham Washington as GM of Raw?

It's an opinion who is this guy was he on ecw? Never heard of him

he did a talk show segment on ECW for like 3-4 months. Hit or miss. Mostly miss. He is still listed as an active member of the company so I would not be shocked to find this as true, but it is not the best case scenario.


I, like you, am all for Regal to rule.

Sack Sucker

So I might actually be right for once omg someone call TJ and Xero!

dude, where the FUCK did you find my picture?

Typed in Pussies on Google Images and your picture was the first to pop up.

Sucking on the sack eh.

BTW, you're not right.:foc:

haha funny cuz I am lookin at your moms now <3

So your rooting for Cena to win?

Wow, whos the smark now?

Pretty sure your not. Besides, I thought you were all about the cock, like your boy Xero.

Did I say I was rooting for Cena? Get Xero's spunk out of your eyes and take another look at what I typed.

CRIPPLE FIGHT

:lol: at this thread. Seriously.

You are both fucking douchebags.

As for my take on this thread: I could totally see Bats sticking around for a few more months, now that he's got the spotlight. :shifty:

Abraham Washington is amazing on the mic. Will be in love with him being the new GM, will actually start watching again weekly.

If they book him like his FCW run instead of what they did in ECW he will be golden.

that's exactly what I was saying! :-) yay TJ agrees!

It will not affect the WWE one way or another in terms of ratings.

And let's not kid ourselves - former WWE fans who have grown up or grown out of the business may not be the kind of people who follow politics.

What the hell is wrong with you man? Who gives a shit if I agree or not? Do you not value your own opinion?

If I didn't value my own opinion, then I wouldn't be in a forum.

I just respect the great TJ Midnight.

:y::yes:

And yet, it underscores the point that there's such a thing as bad publicity.

Linda won't be it, though.

its a clark rumor . on front page

Ummm... No... Sorry my opinion of this dude was that his comedy was decent but his timing was Shit... Christian couldn't even save this guy's segments... Tony Atlas and the Laugh was the best part of the show...

I hope this rumor is NOT true... But I got a BAD feeling about this...

I like Washington in that role. Regal is best used in the ring.

So AEFan now gets his news from the front page and reports here? Essentially a poor man's Ryan Clark :(

Wow. So now we have two of those in the wrestling forum. No wonder they're having a pissing match today.

Not the best choice but it would certainly make one of the more sensible choices at the time being.

i wondered how they would use him, he may be ok

Nah fella, that's pretty much true. Not just cause Xero said it, as it's been well documented.

I know. I got it wrong :P But I'd think that Ted Turner made some wrong decisions in regards to WCW as he gave it away.

He really didn't have much choice in the matter. Time Warner was a publicly traded company.

gotchya

So The Powers to be was all Time Warner

Vince should wear dollar sign contact lenses.

You'd think theadamevansfan would know these things. I mean, he's so close to the business. Probably has the preliminary SummerSlam lineup and build in his hands right now, courtesy of his "friend", Adam Evans.

Mitchell Paul Larkins/AEFan: shaved his head today. I'm bald ♥

Oh, he was tired of being a ginger.

Wonder if Adam Evans taught him those "killer moves"

Michael Cole as GM. Watch the heat melt the arena.

Vickie who?

Yeah Vickie is just annoying and it's too bad that they've ran Eddies name in the mud in the whole angle.

Coach was a decent heel GM also.

YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO POST THAT!

I WILL SUE YOU FOR DEPRIMENT OF CHARACTER.

Who is that spaz in that video?

ANYTHING on Youtube can be posted anywhere by anyone, jackass, for it is open web content.

This VSG dude is my Internet Stalker or is he my FAN? Adam Evans would be so proud of me.

Does this help recall anything, bimbo? I am no stalker, just an ordinary guy who knows to use the search tool.

Oh. LOL Well I'm sorry I put you through that anguishing 38 seconds.

you stupid stupid person...

it's not like before it happened you were like "man he should stop doing that, he might go Nuts or something"

I'm glad that you have/had so much insite on something neurological MD's don't fully grasp.

A Cole heel GM... Interesting...

or live in like the most wealthy constituancy...

Michael Benoit Opposes Linda McMahon’s Political Dreams
By Ryan Clark on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 at 12:43 PM EST


Michael Benoit, the father of Chris Benoit, sent the following letter to the Hartford Courant, basically denouncing WWE and Linda McMahon’s political campaign…

Watching from afar, I’ve observed with interest the U.S. Senate campaign in Connecticut because of my experiences with Linda McMahon and her business, World Wrestling Entertainment. While she spends millions of dollars earned through her professional wrestling empire to flood Connecticut’s airwaves and mailboxes promoting her Republican candidacy, state voters should know there is another side to McMahon and the WWE.

My son, Chris Benoit, 40, was one of WWE’s top superstars. In June 2007, our lives changed dramatically, when he tragically killed his wife, son and himself. The press jumped on steroids as the cause of his actions. But tests showed that brain damage in the form of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, or CTE, not steroids, was responsible for our loss. CTE, caused by repetitive trauma to the brain, can bring on serious disorders such as a loss of emotional control, addictions to drugs and alcohol, depression, aggressive and violent behavior.

Most people view wrestling as fake and the McMahon family pushed that theory to avoid regulation. But in its lust for higher ratings and dollars, WWE began demanding that performers use more weapons and dangerous stunts in wrestling matches. Although matches are rigged and scripted, the harsh physical abuse in the form of blunt force steel chair shots to the head and power bombs through tables onto cement floors are real. I believe that this change in the industry is responsible for the majority of deaths it experienced in the last 20 years.

Another WWE wrestler, Andrew Martin, was 33 when he died. What did Andrew Martin have in common with my son? He was one of many of McMahon’s former wrestlers who died prematurely, and he was the second wrestler to have his brain examined for signs of CTE after death. Martin had the same shocking brain damage as my son. The human skull is not designed to withstand and protect the brain from the abuse the McMahon’s insisted their wrestlers endure. Yet, since the late ’80s, these are the matches into which the McMahon’s have pushed their talent.

USA Today in 2004 published research stating that wrestlers are 20 times more likely to die before the age of 45 than are pro football players. What has the McMahon family done to make pro wrestling safer? They will spend up to $50 million to get Linda elected to a position where she could head off any effort to regulate their business.

The WWE and Linda McMahon evade any responsibility for the early deaths that their industry suffers at an astronomical rate. After the Martin tests were completed, I sought to educate the McMahons about the scientific findings on brain trauma and how their wrestling stunts could cause this serious and fatal health issue. They were having none of it. It was clear, the McMahons were more interested in making hundreds of millions of dollars at the expense of these wrestlers, whom they regard as little more than circus animals to be ridden until their value expires.

On CNN in 2007, Vince McMahon, Linda’s husband, said they had stopped wrestlers from smashing each other’s heads with chairs. That practice, however, was not ended until January of this year — scores of “head shots” later. There are still all sorts of weapons and stunts that the McMahons use to equally dangerous effect. For a sport that is “fake,” there is an all too disturbing reality.

You might say that these young wrestlers make their own choices, and that is true. And the McMahons entice them with prospects for fame, wealth and glory that few achieve. If this were any other business or sport, there would be congressional hearings and laws passed to reform this dirty and dangerous enterprise. The McMahons have steadfastly held that wrestlers are just independent contractors and not entitled to health care benefits, pensions or unionization to represent their best interests.

This is how Linda McMahon made the money she uses for her Senate race. This is how she ran her business. This is the true character behind the fancy, Hollywood advertisements. I pray the people of Connecticut do not allow her to buy her way into the world’s most distinguished legislative body.

I'm down for giving the Washington guy a chance. He seems to have been bred for a non wrestler type gimmick since his FCW days. Hopefully he can usher in an era where more guys with charisma and mic skills are trained to be managers.

In the alternative, I'm down for Regal, but if we're trying to push the next generation of guys I think we have to give this a shot.

Father of family-killer tries to smear successful, good-for-economy family of non-murderers.

Father fails.

He gives a well structured insight.


So Saddam Hussein wasn't a murderer either?

He didn't actually kill the people with his own hands...

Damn Republicans, we took out the wrong country!

DOH!

Idiots can communicate their views eloquently, too.

What. The. Fuck?

I can't tell if this is TAEF's gimmick or the other thing he was fronting before he left was his gimmick.

Nah, he has a "Badass" gimmick now who is posting here like an unchecked virus.

Dude, most of the things you say don't make sense. Have you taken chair shots to the head as well?

no that would be far more intersting

I support Tazz Dan for GM.

What did Washington do in his FCW days?

Had a talk segment, big surprise.

Actually, no. He had a "president" gimmick (hence the name borrowed from Abe Lincoln and George Washington), but he also had "Saddam" and "Obama" in there at different times, too. He played the role of FCW General Manager quite well. He would really be a good choice for General Manager, actually.

Atlas: It's the premiere of the Abraham Washington Show on Monday Night RAW! And now, HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S ABE! :D

With this Guest Host bullshit, I don't just see why they didn't have the Guest Hosts become guests on The Abraham Washington Show.

well hell if he was gm of fcw he is the right man for the job, an thats a good idea about him interviewing the guest hosts, to bad wwe fired tony.
