Wow Test looks in terrible shape. That is kinda depressing to see. I hope he's ok health wise.

 

Bischoff's going face I think....like m2s said, looks interesting. It was a pretty slow and boreing Raw. I fell asleep around the Tag Title match. I think Raw, despite being boreing this week is on a road to take it pretty high.

[menace2sobriety]

I thought it was one of the best RAWs in a while........they went the regular route with obvious angles but they all had a twist at the end...I liked that....

 

 

You guys are gonna trip on this....You all know Test got fired and he did undergo neck surgery......but you will not believe what he looks like now....an article said he looks a little skinier....naaaaaa yall.....way,way,way skinny....its almost depressing looking at this pic ......

 

 

 

I thought it sucked based on matches made, match performances and the crowd.....bunk crowd.

 

We would have rioted in vancouver if they said HHH wasnt gonna be on the show

 

I did enjoy a couple of the story progressions though, the only good angle going on was the evolution/"establishment" thing.

[Kevin_79]

Palumbo, Nidia and Gail Kim...all released today. I could care less about anyone, I'm still bummed out about Test though, such a great talent and good potential. Oh well...

[leper73]

Gail was pretty hot and had some potential. Unfortunately, they couldn't come up for anything for her beyond 6-woman tag matches. I'd rather they released Jazz. When was the last time she was even on TV? The first three guys were released according to their pay, as WWE needed to free up money to sign developmental stars. So essentially, Test got the axe so they could hire Snitsky.

Oh god, does that ever make me cringe. Snitsky should never replace someone like Test, he doesn't even have the talent to replace someone like A-Train...

[leper73]

Firings Round Three: Jazz, Rodney Mack, Johnny Stamboli, and Rico. So far nobody really important has left, but I've never seen a purge on this scale before.

[Phatgordo13]

Jesus Christ wtf is goin on?? Stamboli bothers me cuz I really was into the FBI getup and I thought they could do something with that. Thats a damn shame. Rico too bothers me. I loved watchin him in the ring. He has somethin.....besides the gay gimmick lol.

 

Honestly though. The f*ck is going on?

[menace2sobriety]

What im praying, is that this is all in preperation to reconnect the rosters..

 

With the amount of talent they have on both shows right now, they could make one of the sweetest single rosters ever....each show would be jam packed.....granted it would be harder for other people to make a name for themselves, but f*ck them....the people that have the real potential will always make it.

 

I doubt this will happen but its my hope..

 

 

Josh Matthews is a pretty damn good wrestler, never really wasnt after tough enough, its good to see that he may be back in the ring for good now.

[leper73]

Rajah reports 2 more will get the ax within the week, but they won't say who. Val Venis and Steven Richards are possibilities, but I hope not, they both have a lot of talent and if used right can be really good.

[Kevin_79]

I can see Val Venis getting the shaft, but not Stevie, for the love of god, NOT STEVIE!

 

The other will most likely be someone along the lines of....Garrison Cade?

You made a joke and didnt even know it....Val gettin the shaft...hahaha....I liked Rico..I thought his wrestling style was pretty good...he had his gimmick down...and his whole in and out of ring was pretty good.

[leper73]

I loved Rico's in-ring psychology. He and Goldust would have been a perfect team. I don't think Cade will go yet, he's still pretty young and hasn't been around as long as some of the others, so they might try to come up with something for him. Mark Henry is a possibility. I know he's been injured, but any heat he would have had is gone now that Teddy Long's on Smackdown.

[menace2sobriety]

I hate Luther Reigns..

 

Bring Back Brock

[Sir Smoke-A-Lot]

Rumor says that the brand extension will end, so all wrestlers are on one show.

 

 

 

Oh, and they better not fire Stevie.

[Phatgordo13]

I dont think Cade would be released. He was on the same track as Orton was until he got hurt. Great talent, and I think WWE is gonna want to hold on to him. Either way around it though....theres gonna be some sh*t goin down in the next few weeks.

Hmmm, perhaps my longshot hope is finally coming about???

 

Where did you hear about this, I havent heard anything yet(although I havent really been looking at sites at all recently, occasionally one)

 

@PG - Lets hope sh*t goes down. Its time for a real change.

 

Think about it..

 

Co-Main Eventing - Angle, HHH, Big Show, Randy Orton, Christ Jericho, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero,HBK, JBL, ect..

 

OH THE FEUDS!

 

 

The people of those that are hopefully in and out of title shots will be main event to midcard....but thats a DAMN good midcard, and granted maybe it will push down people like Luther Reigns and Tyson Tomko further out of the picture...just a thought....obviously alot more would happen to other wrestlers than just that, but ive had enough building, lets see all the big guns on one show.

kinda of vague article on ending of brand extension.

[Lord.]

If they brought the shows back together it would solve Smackdown's problem.

[leper73]

They took that from 1wrestling, one of the most unreliable sources out there. They've been talking about the brand extension ending every other month ever since it started.

I remember reading an interview with Shane O Mac where he said the Brand Extension got to a slow start but looks like its going to do very well for us. Might not mean anything at all but take it as you will.

 

What if they had 2 rosters but differently. One roster would have the top 30 stars or w/e and then the rest of the guys would be on another roster and would be on Velocity and Heat where the top 30 would do SD! and Raw. All the lower roster guys would have a chance to show their stuff...and WWE could take a better angle at showing how you have to come up through Velocity and Heat to come to the big time. They could feature a 'top 30 star' on Velocity to go against like the best of Velocity or Heat, depending on a GM's decision. Its a crazy idea but doesnt sound half bad.

 

 

[Kevin_79]

The brands will go back together, just you watch.

 

 

Anyways, I'll be getting Smackdown vs. RAW soon guys. You don't all have to get it since most people have very mixed feelings on it because of reviews. But I'll bring back the RPG and instead of using HCTP for the RPG, it's going to be SvR. I'll have a digital camera by the time it starts too, so it'll be much better. Anyone in?

[Jonny_Tightlips]

I got SvR yesterday. Excellent game man. We have to be in an online tourny.

Online sucks. It doesn't save your records, or names even, and you can only have singles matches. It's quite pathetic.

Well that sux....but playing the game I realized who my favorite wrestler is.......Booker T.Not in the game but my favorite wrestler in the WWE is Booker......hes just mad animated as seen in the game....and his moves are always on point.IMO he always has real good matches....

[Kevin_79]

I'll still get the game, most likely today, but the fact that they downsized on so many aspects, is just heart wrenching. I hear the voice overs are absolutely terrible too, like, corny as hell.

Wow, that is just so damn bad. Cheesy voices, that is really going to lower its standards. Hmm..., well next time they should really bother with that and like the sounds each wrestler makes whilst doing moves like Val Venis' hard breathing whilst he punches or like Chris Benoit's yell as he performes a german suplex.

 

Damn, I still need to watch Raw form this week.

[Kevin_79]

Well, I'll be going to get it in a matter of minutes, my final verdict will be posted in a Gaming Chat review later on in the week.

[mateo83]

The voice overs was and is a good idea but they fucced up....it sounds like the wrestlers are in a studio doing the voicovers and the studio engineer put a tiny bit of echo on it to give it some sort of feel like their in a huge arena.So you hear the crowd cheerin and Kurt Angle sunding like hes in an inclosed room........I havent played my rental long enough to pick on the game anymore......

[JDynasty]

Only wrestling gmae I have is WWF Attitude, for the old PS

Thanks for that insightful comment! Really.

 

So is SvR worth 50 dollars? It seems I've scrounged up 50 and I'm exploring my game options.
