Straight from WWE. I have no problem with Hogan being a part of the show and him acting as host to fire up the crowd is the best option for him.

Shots every time Hogan says brother! Brother.. maybe means I'll enjoy mania this year?
ReplyDeleteThrilled that he's back - fuck the haters!
ReplyDeleteCould be interesting. I hope he interacts with the Real Americans. BTW for anyone who hasn't heard it yet the Steve Austin podcast with Dutch is really good.
ReplyDeleteBest role for him. Bet your house on him saving Cena from a post-match attack though.
ReplyDeleteWay to bury Daniel Bryan by not making him host.
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't Bryan have introduced this? If they bury Bryan any harder, he'll end up in China.
ReplyDeleteBy not making CM Punk the host, it proves it is a work.
ReplyDeleteThe ECW PPVs weren't necessarily good, but they were almost always fun. I went to Heatwave 98 in Dayton with a non wrestling friend and he had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI thought Bischoff did.
ReplyDeleteI find myself agreeing with most of the winning choices. I... I'm scared...
ReplyDeleteIs "Mean" Gene Okerlund far behind?
ReplyDeleteWow, all their commentary sucks. Sometimes I think that all wrestling sites are good because of Scott, then I remember...no, no they aren't.
ReplyDeleteIf he came out as Hollywood and gave a 20 minute promo about how this is house Hollywood built, I'd be all for it.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean we're getting hogan vs cena at wm31 and 32.
ReplyDelete*Hogan gets 10-minute standing ovation.*
ReplyDeleteVince: "Daniel, your match just got 10 minutes shorter."
NO!
Oh, and Danielle Matheson of Uproxx is one of the worst wrestling writers I've ever seen. Just completely incompetent and wrong about every aspect of wrestling.
ReplyDeleteAnd does Cena lay down for the leg drop?
ReplyDeleteTequila, Jack, or Jager?
ReplyDeleteWhen Batista wins the title, Hogan will protest. Batista will call Hogan a yellow-belly and put the title on the line in the ring.. Right now.
ReplyDeleteAnd you KNOW that'll get a monster pop no matter what.
ReplyDeleteHogan hosting would probably be the best possible use for him if he can't work a match. If he could, its Cena vs Hogan obviously. However, having Hogan as host, should bring the same kind of buyrate jump (or ratings jump for WWE network) that The Rock hosting a few years ago did.
ReplyDeleteVince is really, really forgiving. I'd of let him rot.
ReplyDeleteThat Wrestlemania got slammed by critics, but still brought a very good buyrate.
ReplyDeleteVince knows its a backstabbing business better than anyone. You can't hold grudges and be a successful wrasslin promoter.
ReplyDeleteThat's an underrated ppv that only gets remembered for the robocop silliness.
ReplyDeleteHonestly you can't not be Vince McMahon and be a successful wrestling promoter.
ReplyDeleteWhich doesn't make it any less terrible.
ReplyDeleteHogan can't wrestle anymore
ReplyDelete"Hogan couldn't wrestle ever"
ReplyDeleteFTFY
They jsut didn't want him to come out to host Wrestlemania in shorts.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, many thanks for the votes.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the majority of the RSPW crew were happy, but as wrestling fans they should learn to love not getting what they want.
Good people OSWReview sadly celebrated their second place win by having nearly all of their videos taken down from YouTube.
Here's to another year of Battletoads music and laughing tables then.
I know in kayfabe, he did. But I read an interview the other day where HHH claimed it.
ReplyDelete"WWE’s website has a new article up looking at the Elimination Chamber match. Triple H talked about how he created the match:
“I’m the one who invented it. I drew a square cage and put four other squares in the corners, and I said, ‘It’s six guys. Two start and every few minutes, another cage opens and one more guys enters the fight, and everyone fights until there’s one guy left.’ I thought it could be interesting because, if the Superstars involved have issues, then there’s intrigue.”
I'm just saying its hard to call any wrestlemania that generated that kind of money a "debacle." Obviously the fans wanted to hear the Rock ramble on for 20 minutes.
ReplyDeleteThe only problem I see with this is Hogan soaking in the crowd reactions for too long like he used to do on Smackdown.
ReplyDeleteSure, but Hulk Hogan has used up all his worth in professional wrestling. I think the TNA debacle proves that.
ReplyDeleteThey're right to use noted fashionista Hulk Hogan. Those boas are really... something.
ReplyDeleteDaniel Bryan vs. Kane on the pre-show it is.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, Daniel Bryan beat Cena clean. Who did this Hulk Hogan guy ever beat?
ReplyDeleteIf it's anything like WM29, ALL of em.
ReplyDeleteHe never could.
ReplyDeleteHe beat King Kong Bundy, who I think is King Kong Brody's cousin or something.
ReplyDeleteWhile I agree that Hogan doesn't have much worth anymore, I don't think TNA really proves it. You could have dropped Cena, Punk, Bryan and Orton in TNA and they'd still max out at a 1.1 rating and lose money hand over fist.
ReplyDeleteAXE BOMBAH!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe story is on IMDB's news feed from Variety.com. That's the value Hogan in WWE has.
ReplyDeleteBecause I'm incredibly slow and you happen to be here... I never understood the laughing tables, or the "pull a lever/JEEESSUSS" gags. I now find them funny just because, but never understood the origins.
ReplyDeleteDig the shameless post whoring!
ReplyDeleteNobody bought that show to see the Rock ramble. They thought he was going to do something.
ReplyDeleteYAY more part-timers to take up even more time! Between this and the 40 minutes worth of entrances, we're going to have like 8 matches that go 2 minutes each.
ReplyDeleteHe got involved in the main event.
ReplyDeleteIs Hogan in SUCH bad physical shape that he can't even guest ref?
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteO...k. That means fuck all to me.
ReplyDeleteScrews in his back and his hips mean he couldn't get down safely to do a count, legit.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have.
ReplyDeleteBecause after getting sick of him in TNA for free I now want to spend money watching him fill a slot not even the Rock could save :(
ReplyDeleteWWE doesn't have the mid card to carry a 4 hour show.
ReplyDelete30 Years of Hogan at Mania. I'm trying to envision Punk or Bryan at Wrestlemania SIXTY, but I cant wrap my head around it.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.rspwfaq.net/2013/10/ajpw-15041990-hulk-hogan-vs-stan-hansen.html
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5yu4_hulk-hogan-vs-stan-hansen-4-13-90_news
fuuuuuuck. That stinks.
ReplyDeleteIf Hogan is going to be involved in the show, then hosting is the best use of him for sure. Only fitting that he make an appearance at the 30th anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI think the most disturbing thing, especially given how I recall last year's awards, is how much more people are 'disappointed' with depushes and booking than the deaths of human beings. Granted, Paul Bearer 'won' this year, but beyond him, the deaths are scattered about the list. I was infinitely more saddened that Matt Borne died than Battleground ending in bullshit fashion.
ReplyDeleteUsually, deaths would dominate this list, but it seems to be dissipating more. I think in 2012, the death with the most votes was Brad Armstrong, and that was somewhere like 18th or 19th in the final tally.
And constantly bringing back part-timers is exactly why.
ReplyDeleteHe's Peggy Bundy's brother.
ReplyDeleteI really think deaths should be in a totally separate category. Since they are simply not comparable to bad booking. like "Most disappointing Wrestling story", and "most disappointing real life wrestler story" or something.
ReplyDeleteNo it's not.
ReplyDeleteTrue but then they'll just bury him in China and he'll wind up back here.
ReplyDeleteIt's called 50/50 booking.
Real Americans lose the opener (or pre-show?), Swagger berates Cesaro. Cesaro gives him the Big Swing, Hogan slams Dutch, and Cesaro poses with Hulk to open the show. Cesaro face turn, a "WM moment", and a fun way to open the show without a 20-minute Hogan promo.
ReplyDeleteHogan coming back is also their way to life older fans back and for them to get the network.
ReplyDeleteDid they advertise that he'd ramble for the first 20 minutes of the show? If so, then sure.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't bother me either way, but in the 20+ year history of the awards (I've admittedly only been voting since 2002), it's weird to see how much wrestler deaths have become less worrisome to the average voter. Wouldn't at all surprise me to see some harebrained booking decision at WM30 beat Mae and Viscera's deaths at this time next year
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect use for him, and yeah he should be there. Besides, he's still bloated and slow from feeding off of the previous host, and by latching back onto Vince's scrotum he can molt, then rest safely until he's ready to start sucking again.
ReplyDeleteIt's not, but one could argue that if they don't have the midcard to carry a four hour show, why do one? Not that anyone arguing that could change anything, but you get the point right?
ReplyDeleteSteve Austin, would have made the same amount of noise. Hell, if they had saved Batista for this role it would have been a bigger story when combined with the Guardians of the Galaxy trailer. In fact, the more I think about it, that's absolutely the way they should have gone with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure on Austin. He's never been as mainstream as Austin. Batista.....maybe.
ReplyDeleteBut Chinese wrestling is by far superior to lame American wrestling.
ReplyDeletePrediction, Bryan's match gets moved to the preshow, he loses in an 18 second match at 31, he wins in a tag match with Kane at 32.
ReplyDeleteWrestleMania hasn't been about the wrestling since 26.
ReplyDeleteI know right
ReplyDeleteSo mortal lock they have him interact with the Real Americans right?
ReplyDeleteI take it you've never read justin watry ?
ReplyDeleteBecause having mid carders isn't a prerequisite for a four hour show.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for Hogan and any other nostaglia leading up to 'Mania. Bring 'em all back and make it a celebration instead of a lead-up to some Batista headlined-debacle.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big part of it, also has to do with how they are trainign their talent as well. WWE won't allow any new stars develop. Look at what they've done to Ryback, Ziggler, Ryder, Barrett, Kofi, Henry, Miz. All those guys had big wins or main event appearances in the past couple years and could easily be stars instead WWE shat them right back down the bottom.
ReplyDeleteWWE's midcard roster right now is as loaded as it has been in years. Wyatts, Shield, Cody, Goldust, Big E, Cesaro, Christian, Del Rio, Axel, Ryback, Kofi, Ziggler, Henry, Barrett, Miz, Young, Titus, Swagger, Uso's, Rey, Truth, Sin Cara all could easily fill up the midcard and low card for the event.
Unfortunately that seems to be true these days.
ReplyDeleteThe get shat back down again because they flop. The guys that don't, keep going and aren't even mid card anymore by the time Mania rolls around so it doesn't affect them.
ReplyDeleteThe way WWE is set up is divided into to groups, one group is an important part of the show, and the other group is there to have matches to fill up the rest of the 3 hours.
Part timers have nothing to do with it.
Here's what I'd like to see: Roddy Piper shows up on RAW to invite Hogan to a special Piper's Pit at WrestleMania. Then, the next week, Edge shows up to invite Hogan to appear on The Cutting Edge. Later the same night, Christian invites Hogan on The Peep Show. This is followed the next week by Jericho inviting Hogan to appear on his show. The Miz offers to resurrect The Dirt Sheet with John Morrison. Basically bring everyone out of the woodwork (even Abraham Washington and - is it too much to hope? Brother Love). Then have Hogan agree to appear on all of them simultaneously. That would give a whole lot of lapsed guys a payday and would, of course, devolve into chaos.
ReplyDeleteForgot Lawler's King's Court and HBK's Heartbreak Hotel. And Barber Shop.
ReplyDeleteZiggler didn't flop. He was a month into his World title reign then he got a concussion then he was never given his spot back.Kofi had wins over Orton and they did nothing with it.Miz was a main eventer and drew good ratings, but after Extreme Rules when he lost the title, he was never seen from again in the main event picture.Ryback was turned heel stupidly. Would've been a huge success as a face. I really believe that.Henry was World champion and had a WWE title shot on PPV last year. Had a great match, but sent back down the pecking order.Barrett main evented a bunch of PPV's, now he stands on a podium and doesn't even get in the ring.
ReplyDeleteThe more the merrier!
ReplyDeleteLaughing table (with Japanese accent) amused me, I used them a few times then stopped and then got angry messages saying ''WHY DON'T THE TABLES LAUGH ANYMORE.'' So yeah.
ReplyDeleteThe lever...right. CZW took down a Botchamania because of CZW footage, but they apologised and allowed me to re-upload it and continue using the footage. Conan O'Brien had a regular joke where he'd pull a lever and out-of-context Walker: Texas Ranger clips would play...so I thought I'd add a clip of him doing it before the video and add Zandig's vintage ''JEESSSSSUSSSSS'' sound-bite. It stuck.
If you're still a fan after reading all that, then God help you.
All those things have zero to do with part timers coming back for WrestleMania season.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they wait to make this announcement on Raw to pop a crowd and generate a little buzz leading into the network?
ReplyDeleteHe's terrible AND a complete asshole to boot. Deadly combination.
ReplyDeleteAdrian Adonis' Flower Shop. Paul Bearer's Funeral Parlor. Those two might be hard. I've also always wanted to see Kamala's Kabala.
ReplyDeleteEh, I'd say 24 at least.
ReplyDeleteOr on a throwaway taped show without even bothering to pop a live crowd?
ReplyDeleteAbout a year too late to attend Paul Bearer's funeral.
ReplyDeleteIt generates more buzz and reaches more people online.
ReplyDeleteWasn't 23 the one with Trump/McMahon?
ReplyDeleteMy point is that WM isn't about great matches. That's for Raw or MiTB or SummerSlam or Extreme Rules (which usually has one awesome match a year). Mania sucking when it comes to the in-ring stuff doesn't...really bother me.
gwegw
ReplyDeleteNo, what's his deal?
ReplyDeleteMatheson is such a shill for shitty indy promotions, plus so incompetent in her criticism of TNA that I've started rooting for TNA over her.
They could all have spots on the Mania card and probably won't because of those part-timers. If WWE would've kept those guys in the main event picture then there would be no need to bring back the part-timers.
ReplyDeleteAnd JoMo.
ReplyDeleteThe Body Shop with Jesse Ventura...
ReplyDeleteHuge Rock fan but I bet Hogan is much better in this role....
ReplyDeleteYep, no wonder I didn't get it! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yep, will always be a fan for sure!

Do you like 411 columnists that work a "heel gimmick" in their articles? If not I'd avoid Watry.
ReplyDeleteYet No Way Out 2000 & 2002 sucked. 2003 too. I think.
ReplyDeleteHogan screwed Hogan.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of fuck, I wonder if he can still at least do that.
ReplyDeleteCouldn't be any worse than Howard Finkel.
ReplyDeleteUh...they use them because they're AWESOME???? I've seen one, maybe 2 ECs (from memory, correct if wrong) that weren't pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteBut who gives Hogan the black eye beforehand?
ReplyDeleteUnless you have Ted Turner's money and Eric Bischoff's moxie.
ReplyDeleteThe danger is what makes it fun. It gives the result meaning, showing that these guys would go through THAT for the prize. Adds more prestige I think.
ReplyDeletePlease God.. let Real American play in the arena and have Zeb Coulter cut a promo against Hogan..
ReplyDeleteHHH?
ReplyDeleteAs long as he doesn't have his wrestling boots or being a central guy taking up tv time from others, this will be fine. No issue with him just doing what Rock once called, "WHATCHUGINNADO BLBLBLBLB LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHER BLBLBLB RACKLE RACKLE RACKLE RACKLE"
ReplyDeleteNot this time..
ReplyDeleteHogan is underrated as a worker. He wasnt a technical guy but his matches in Japan shows he could work but he didnt need to in the states...
ReplyDeleteThey need to get whatever promos Hogan has in him out of his system either on the run-up Raws, at the HOF inductions, or the pre-show. No need to have a 20 min opening rambling session about how Hulk made Wrestlemania, brother
ReplyDeleteI thought Chyna wasnt doing porn any longer....
ReplyDeleteHe did do something....he rambled....
ReplyDeleteImagine Cesaro giving Hogan the big swing, it would probably be the best WM moment ever...
ReplyDeleteBubba.
ReplyDeleteWho else is there? Taz?
ReplyDeleteDoes he say their sports teams suck? Or is it like an anti-smark thing? Does he kick people in the dick?
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of heel is he?
Wait a second......... So rspw likes Daniel Brown
ReplyDeleteI'm going out on a limb here and say that you might be somewhat influenced by Monty Python.
ReplyDeleteWhy the fuck are people voting on what death is the most sad?
ReplyDeletePeople should just vote on the booking.
I would pay all the money in the world to see Cesaro swing Hogan and watch his legs pop off.

ReplyDeleteSit Down with Droz

And then Lance Storm/Jimmy Korderas yell at us on Twitter to stay patient and call us idiots.
ReplyDeleteYou are weird.
ReplyDeleteOy vey.
ReplyDeleteOkay. That'd be bad, but it's 411, I mean...what do you really expect?
ReplyDeleteHe's probably healthy enough to do the Piper ref job from WM11 where all he did was shove a mic in a guy's face asking them if they want to quit.
ReplyDeleteI said it in another thread, and others have noted it below in this one, but this is such a great opportunity to turn Cesaro by having him make the save for Hogan from Zeb/Swagger. Do a bit of posing and you've got one hell of a segment (opening?) to the show.
ReplyDeleteVentua's rant on Santana at WM 6 might be the greatest 4-minutes of racially insensitive commentary in the history of sports entertainment... and I say that jokingly. I don't support racial uproars about Santana beating Barbarian by feeding him Mexican food, and having diarrhea and getting STD's from a girl he met in Tijuana. Or whatever the fuck Ventura was talking about.
ReplyDeleteI imagine they'll use the Mania 27 template here - only he won't do a 15 minute promo like Rock. 3-5 minutes to come out, thank the fans, and get them pumped up for the first match will do just fine.
ReplyDeleteI'd imagine they'll have him in a few backstage segments afterwards before one final segment in front of the live crowd (helping Cena or Bryan?) to send them home happy.
I hear Bubba The Love Sponge has some footage if you wanna see for yourself.
ReplyDeleteYou can bet Randy Orton will be at WrestleMania LX.
ReplyDeleteThis year is the 29th anniversary, next year is the 30th ann.
ReplyDeleteI saw him live at TNA No Surrender in 2012 and he moved incredibly slow back then just trying to get to the ring. I could see him maybe being an outside enforcer ala Tyson at Mania 14 or a corner man for someone, but that's about it.
ReplyDeleteJay Lethal
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess this is the first time that WWE Shop and ShopTNA have the same shirt on sale.

In the event I get WWE Network, my plan is to watch everything chronologically.
ReplyDeleteThat was Cell's voice as the laughing table, at one point, right?
ReplyDeleteHate to be the "cool, hip, Indy wrestling fan", but its a shame that the results are more or less WWE or TNA, because Adam Cole was easily the best heel in thr business for 2013
ReplyDeleteReally hoping we don't get the fucking 2 cool 4 school smarks that boo Hogan or chant TNA at him and shit
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Aces & Eights got completely shut out of any and all "Worst of" categories is a testament to how truly awful Dixie Carter and Khali are.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I can't believe Ziggler didn't win anything. I'll be amazed if he doesn't completely run away with "Most Underrated" next year.
ReplyDeleteTrish Stratus in her prime.
ReplyDeleteI actually can't believe he beat out Sting, who's completely unwatchable at this point.
ReplyDeleteIv still been waiting on someone to climb all the way to the top part that evens out over the ring and give an elbow drop or something from there
ReplyDeleteThe two sweetest words in the English language: DE FAULT! DE FAULT!
ReplyDeleteCM Punk seemed rather uninspired to me as a performer before he took his ball and went home.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm going to have to hunt down this Zayn/Cesaro 2/3 falls match if it's that good.
ReplyDeleteJake's probably healthy enough to do a Snake Pit again.
ReplyDeleteHe can't even physically execute the big boot anymore. He's severely, severely broken.
ReplyDeleteYou can't exactly ask for backsies once you've paid for the PPV.
ReplyDeleteJust watched it today. It's 18 minutes of a 25 minute 5-star match.
ReplyDeletePretty damn good
ReplyDeleteKick-ass show. That Flair/Luger cage match is solid
ReplyDeleteHe hasn't won anything in a year. Why would this surprise you? *rimshot*
ReplyDeleteSporadic use is the key here. Have him on Raw Monday and at mania and that's it. Anymore than that and the crowds will of give a shit.
ReplyDeleteWm22 was the last one that was really about the wrestling. Eleven matches iirc. Also ironically the last one in an arena. 23 had trump McMahon. 24 had Mayweather. And so on.
ReplyDeleteCafé Renee with Renee Dupree.
ReplyDeleteWell he was advertised as the host, and the main event was John Cena vs the Miz. I'm pretty sure people got exactly what they were expecting.
ReplyDeleteRaw is taped?
ReplyDeleteIt would dislocate every joint on Hogan's body.
ReplyDeleteI legitimately threw up in my mouth. Terrible.
ReplyDeleteMight this have been the first-ever Vince and Jesse pairing? They were always one of my favorite tandems in the booth.
ReplyDeleteThey need to use Hogan sparingly in the run-up to Wrestlemania. His returns always draw the nostalgia support, but it's big-time diminishing returns after that. It was true in 2002, it will definitely be true in 2014. Maybe a "hey, I'm gonna host Wrestlemania, brother" promo, then nothing until the actual ppv.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I would seriously limit it to one Raw promo to hype his hosting appearance, then nothing til the actual show.
ReplyDeleteI fully endorse this idea.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with that
ReplyDelete.....Wow, that's oddly accurate.
ReplyDeleteNah, snarking on how badly they handle "surprises" lately. Announced Batista on a taped, low rated, holiday Raw
ReplyDeleteWHADDAYA SAY?!?
ReplyDeleteBest promo? Best character? Her ring-work was popular and she was super hot, but she wasn't a talker.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and that's not really a bad thing. Who cares if they have the ode to the casuals once a year? If they give me Cesaro vs. Sheamus, it's whatever.
ReplyDeleteThey had done it a few other times on Championship Wrestling and were doing the annoucing on SNME already at this point but here, Vince really seemed to be setting Jesse up well.
ReplyDeleteI've seen jimmy korderas on aftermath and read some if his book... He had no right to call anyone an idiot
ReplyDeleteTo save you some time:
ReplyDeleteBest of whatever goes to Daniel Bryan.
Worst of whatever goes to Great Khali (or something/someone from TNA).
Wait a second......... People still post to rspw? Do they have to build a time machine to 1995 first?
ReplyDeleteWrestling nerds to weird shit sometimes. Look no further than the 1990 "Match of the Year."
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I don't view anyone save Ryback in your first list as a star and I think Henry already is perceived as that by them. Maybe Kofi.
ReplyDeleteIf Austin and other wrestlers themselves are saying "the talent roster is really thin in the locker room" I don't think I'm alone in that regard...
Absolutely 15 minutes though
ReplyDeleteWrestlemania XXX being hosted by a wrestler with a sex tape, in the "Big Easy". It writes itself.
ReplyDeleteSo WWE decides to book the worst show of the year in Buffalo. Thanks Vince, you fucking prick!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I agree with most of these. I had a totally different mach for MOTY, and Corino should have won best announcer, but outside of those I think we all made the right calls.
It's not. ****ish, but there were much better matches in 2013. Still, seek it out, it is a damn fine wrestling match, I mean sports entertainment contest.
ReplyDeleteHis deal is that he's the worst writer on Earth, so bad that I'd rather read the entire fucking self-serving arrogant collection of John Cheese works before I'd ever read one thing Watry wrote. He sucks so bad that Bleacher Report let him go. Think about that, my 8 year old niece could do a better article about wrestling that anyone on BR, and she doesn't even like wrestling. Granted, she's damn smart for an 8 year old, but still... Getting fired from BR is like being the nastiest crack whore on the block that even the most desperate guys won't even take a BJ from.
ReplyDeleteThe Dougie comparison is especially appropriate when you consider their hatred of anyone that "legally" streams a PPV. Dougie at least only talks about it when the subject has been brought up already, and is totally entitled to his opinion, that's the sort of thing he's talking about when he says "anyone who disagrees with me is a troll". I mean, he's a troll just for the NPP thing, but I'm getting off track here... My point is that Watry mentions it in EVERY thing he writes. He acts like he's better than everyone else, and just like Cheese he also SUCKS as a writer. So fuck off, Justin. I'm not trained as a writer, I didn't go to college, I got my GED 3 days after I turned 17 and haven't seen a classroom since, and even when I was in school I was a math guy (still am). I've never claimed to be a writer, I'm a cook who posts reviews on ROH and shitty NES games on a couple websites. And I can say, without hesitation at all, that the worst thing I've ever written is 10 times better than everything that fucking hack has ever written combined.
ReplyDeleteAs crappy as Battleground was, I think the Rhodes Brothers/Shield tag title match automatically saves it from being the worst show of the year. The match was that damn good and it just missed my 'best of the year' ballot. My worst show of 2013 was Night Of Champions.
ReplyDeleteJohn Cheese "Did you know that people desire sexual partners out of a biological need to continue the species?" God, what a tool that guy is.
ReplyDeleteAnd having a gimmick of being a really terrible writer is pretty shitty, and I sat through Lucky Cannon promos.
