Hacksaw Lola Duggan

 

[dave]

Old Hacksaw is what he is - l mid-card fan favourite.
And he gets his place in the Hall for longevity.
OK, he wasn't Bret Hart as a worker, but he comes from an era where every wrestler was different and brought something unusual to the table.

 

[manchild24]

Good for him. The people liked him. Regardless, RAW still sucked last night, it was the huge disappointment only followed up by Carmelo gettting what he wanted and getting traded. I thought can this night get any worse?!

Im actually still pissed about it and didnt the Undertaker fuck up last night. I mean the door opens and I actually didnt think it was him, the guy looked to be short and fat with long bushy curly hair. I thought it was really going to be someone else, then he steps and you see him and all of a sudden he is standing on the stage. OK. But where did he go then? then he reappeared.

HHH in my opinion is just a spotlight stealer. I still think he will hang around long enough to win more world titles then Flair.

Everyone know he is married to Steph and have 2 or 3 kids, have an angle where he tries to knock Vince off to take over the company.

 

[FedEx227]

No spotlight stealing really. I'm not an HHH fan but the main reason is the match no matter who Taker is going to face is not going to be good. Taker can barely go anymore, that's why they'll likely interject HBK into it too.

Enough things that happen outside of having to actually focus on the ring work the better.

I thought it was a pretty solid Raw, btw.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I don't care about him going in or whatever, Koko fucking B Ware is a Hall of Famer, so the floodgates are open.

I'm just reiterating that I don't like him

My thoughts exactly.

The WWE Hall of Fame is just a gimmick to draw more money out of people. Debating it is worthless. As they run out of big names. To put in, more bums nlike Duggan will make it. Vince loves those 80's mid carders, look at the HOF roster and you can clearly see Vince's vision of what was his glory perikod.

And for the record, Duggan always sucked. Mid South, WWF, WCW. I've never seen a Duggan match or promo that I would want to see again. He was one of those guys that made you cringe when non wrestling fans were in the room, judging you for watching this shit.

U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame!

Really, I guess I just had my hopes set on something that was never going to be delivered. I liked Cena's opening, Wade Barret to envoke the rematch - arent they are Smackdown? and he just seems to have lost whatever stroke he had before now that the nexus is in two groups. The Miz beats the tag team champs in three moves and Slater looked lost trying to decide if he should go in and break it up.

I guess Im just a HHH hater anymore too. I dont know how people were that excited for UT to come back, everyone knew for weeks not a big surprise. Now if Sting would have lowered himself down from the rafters or appeared in the ring and beat them both with a bat then we talk.

 

[SuperKevin]

Hacksaw Jim Duggan made the hall of fame because he was a pioneer. Before him, a man with Downs Syndrome never would have been able to make it in professional wrestling.

I doubt the WWE ever lowers someone from the rafters after the Owen Hart tragedy

 

[Epidemik]

Cena's Promo was pretty good

Actually, rumor has it that it will be streak vs. career. While it'd be stupid to let the whole Sheamus thing go without a blow off, it's not like HHH has to wrestle anymore. I sincerely doubt that he'd get over.

Thought he'd be the anonymous GM, though. Wonder where they'll finally end up with that. Maybe make it Cole the whole time?

 

[EmpireWF]

Sheamus is in the dog house, so I wouldn't expect him to do anything with Hunter.

My god the politics in WWE is beyond silly. It's amazing how they rather shoot themselves in the foot for no logical reason and throw away potential big money.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

All because one faggot (Kevin Dunn I believe) thought that when Shaemus ran from NEXUS it ruined him. Like WTF.. most ppl dont even recall that happening. Its your job as a writer to build him up instead of dwelling on your own bad writing. So stupid.

Me being one of them...and I watch Raw every week lmao. But it really is true, imagine if they actually had some damn writers with THE PEOPLE'S ideas. One can dream.

 

[EmpireWF]

In the new WON, Meltzer says about Tough Enough that there are more scripted storyline plots a la most of reality TV (the original T.E. was not scripted)...and former ROH guy (briefly I guess) Matt Cross is one of the participants on the show.

Also one of the participants is Ms. Rima Fakih who won one of those international beauty pageants.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Austin Aries was turned down for Tough Enough.

The irony with that, is he is a better worker than 99% of the roster, and is a better promo/personality than 90%.

I can't fathom how they would take Matt Cross, who isnt half the worker as Aries and cant cut a promo to save his fucking life, over a world class guy like Aries. And Cross is actually smaller than Aries, so nobody can blame size.

Don't get me wrong, I like Cross (he is a former gymnist, who does crazy shit in the ring and is very good), but he doesnt measure up to Aries in any way.

 

[dave]

Finally watched the WWE's 50 Greatest Superstars doc (downloaded it via torrent).
What a fucking disgrace.
Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Kurt Angle got jobbed.
Most of the top 10 I could live with, but Flair, Hogan and Angle should have been in it.

IMO, Flair or Hogan should have been #1.

I'd love to see a documentary like that done by impartial sources.

And Killer Kowalski #50? Really? Really?

was it bc of his age? though Cross is only what 4 years younger...theyre still both in their 30's....hmmmmnnn

Depends on the criteria. Biggest star? Best worker? Combo? Lists like this are hard to be critical of unless there is criteria.

And Kowalski trained HHH. Did you really think he'd be left off?
