Huge Shaemus fan here.

[Leftwich]

I guess im in the minority. But first off he is a ginger/pale as fuck. Secondly a bicycle kick is a fucking terrible finisher. That one guy from Right To Censor used it... the big dude.. But lastly im not a fan of big wrestlers other than Taker. You guys might like him but really he isn't my cup of tea. My reasons might suck to you guys but its just how i feel about him.

Your reasons are your reasons and you can hate/like who you want... I will say that having a unique look is hardly a negative in the current WWE, where so much of the roster looks interchangable. And Sheamus really isn't a "big man" wrestler. He's basically the same size as Swagger and only a bit bigger than Triple H.

I've enjoyed Sheamus since I first saw is FCW work, then his short run on ECW. People were hating on him when he first got moved to the main roster and started destroying guys. A few months later, they're loving him.

I agree with Bigpapa, Leftwich. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes, so it's all good.

Heck, I still like watching HHH and I'm one of maybe two here, Empire?

In sad news, Scott Hall has left the hospital facility that he was in to return to his home in Florida. While Hall was getting treatment, he basically said that he just wanted to go home and checked himself out. While his closest friends (Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman) obviously have tried to help him, there is only so much they can do. He has to want to help himself first and it is fairly obvious he does not. Nash has noted that he now saves Hall's voicemail messages noting that he fully expects that one of them will be Hall's last.

...damn

I don't particularly like watching HHH.

If it's his older good stuff, sure though.

You're not alone, he's not my cup of tea either. He does nothing for me. I will say that i'd rather watch him than the tired old stiffs like Kane, Khali, and Henry that they always push.

I've loved Sheamus ever since I saw him live at an FCW event when I still lived in Orlando. First thought was holy fuck that dude's white as hell...still stands lol. But he's a good worker, his mic skills are decent enough, and he's got the build. Also, he just cracks me the hell up in this video (skip to like :40 second mark):

that should be a Visa Commercial

Tank of gas $45
Ringside seats - $75
Sheamus's look - priceless

Wrestlemania did 1 million PPV buys

All credit goes to Rock

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

The Miz is a proven ratings draw.

Oh, and I assume Snooki has at least ONE buy credited to her of the millions...

AND MILLIONS of Pay Per View buys.

[s@ppisgod]

Sup queers. I finally gave up on TNA. They went from mildly entertaining garbage to shit-in-a-can fast under Hogan and company.

Wrestlemania does buys 70/30 on name power/star power. I think a ton of idiots just order it out of habit now.

Sucks about Hall, but what a jerkoff. Nash has been trying for years now to get him good, and Hall has done his best to undo any good anyone tries to do for him. I'm expecting to hear they found him hung in a closet any week now. Just doesn't seem to want to live at this point. It'd be a lot more sad if he accepted any sort of help...

TNA was shit long before Hogan got involved...

Hall is in awful health, has a bunch of psychological issues and then some....terrible to hear how he has fallen apart over the past few years. If Nash has started to give up hope...it's near the end.

[s@ppisgod]

TNA had it's moments, and even looked a little better to me right before Hogan came in. But now they have nothing. Look at Pope pre-Hogan and look at him now. Night and day. They could build one under 40 star to save their lives.

And it's just sad seeing Hall in that indy garbage from a couple weeks ago. Hard to remember built, confident Razor when Hall can barely walk without assistance...

Well the reason he could barely walk is he was hammered out of his mind before the match that night.
