SNME doesn't even have the interest it had when they revived it 2 years back. Mainly cos it's basically RAW with a different backdrop. ONS is rapidly losing interest due to ECW originals being phased out. Also the new ECW has had a fair few people tuning out of it since the "departure" of Heyman.

They only really heavily push the tours if there is a RAW or SD taping at them, which i don't think is happening at either Dublin or Lisbon.

VR!

Actually SNME was taped before RAW last Monday at the Air Canada Center in Toronto, the full results are all over the various wrestling sites.

I Try Not Read Spolers, It Takes The Fun Out Of The Predictable Wrestling

Found some article that one match was meant to be an 8 man tag team match that involved Viscera, Kane, Umaga, Shannon Moore, Eugene, Kamala (?) and Doink (??) and someone else...

It got changed to a six man though. How random a mixture is that though?

yes the match ended up being kane, eugene and doink the clown vs. Kevin thorn, viscera and umaga. The booking department in the WWE should be shot :mad:

It's 1993 all over again! Remember that god awful Bam Bam, Bastion Booger & Headshrinkers vs the 4 Doinks match from Survivor Series that year? Bits of turkey and bananas in the middle of the ring!

Feel sorry for the poor bastards who had to wrestle in it next!
Thing is, the Doink character was pretty decent when he came in first, Evil Doink was a good play on Pennywise The Clown from Stephen Kings 'IT', given the crap WWE poured down our throats that year, thats a brainwave by comparison!

yes that match brings back memories alrite

Doink was ok when he first came in, with Matt Bourne playing the character very well but once Bourne left and Doink turned face it all went to crap.

Remember Doink and Dink :mad: or that classic survivor series match from 1994 featuring Doink, Wink, Dink and Pink against Jerry Lawler, Queazy, Cheezy and Sleazy. I wonder what Frank Gotch or Lou Thesz would have made of that match????

Brow

I actually kinda liked Doink. I remember when they had that legends battle royal at Mania a few years ago and Doink got eliminated there was huge heat from the crowd that was fairly quiet up until then.

Was supposed to have been changed because Goldust (the one not mentioned) pulled out of it.

Maybe its because WWE aren't doing any Raw shows in the U.K. that they haven't been arsed to update the pages. The two shows were announced back in November and tickets sold out in December....you'd think they'd atleast have added the second date to the page!!

If there is nothing announced by the weekend, I'm assuming there will be no signings?! Been checking the HMV and Eason sites constantly and nothing. Smyths & Gamestop don't put information on their sites about signings, so that doesn't help.

I'd say some of it is just due to the fact that it's not a huge European tour, only one show is visiting two countries. We get 2 or 3 shows every year too, which is more than most American cities. I don't think they kick up a huge fuss with every town they visit in America, so I don't think it's that big a deal

Apparently Goldust is having some rough times at the moment, I hope it's nothing too serious. From F4W Online:

Dustin "Goldust" Runnels was scheduled to work last Friday night's Bad News Allen Tribute Show in Cochrane, AB as he got a $900 advance. He not only no-showed, but cashed the plane ticket in for cash the day before the show. The promoter, who worked as Hannibal in the main event, had done shows in Puerto Rico and knew Dustin from working down there, so he was particularly incensed. They sent out his planned opponent, Ravenous Randy, to cut a promo on him, utterly burying him and then calling him up on his cell phone to leave a message of all the fans booing at the top of their lungs. It's been said that Runnels has seen some rough times recently and there are people very worried about him. Between the advance, airfare (which is very expensive in Canada) and hotel, the promoter probably lost $5,000 on him alone. He was also scheduled to appear at Monday's SNME taping, but pulled out for some unknown reason.

I taped SNME last night and i don't feel like watching it, was it any good?

Someone should, oh, vince ( seen as he has a load of friends in a wrestling site) should get people to sign a form to bring the fantasy league back to wwe.

Watching wwe is not the same without the fantasy league. Although i do like the break as the 10 to 14 weeks is hard on the brain. I miss the action the fantasy league bring, but most of all i miss the laughing. God i had some good laughs to myself, you know, at people who thought they could beat me.

Fozzy

I recall laughing myself when I beat you, triple h. You're right though, the fantasy league does make some otherwise average matches a bit more exciting sometimes

I didn't think much of SNME. No brilliant matches and nothing that really advanced anything. The Cena/Khali match is the only thing that was noteworthy in any way I think

Bounty Hunter

maybe cos it was taped before Raw but it seemed to be booked backwards. ONS main event minus the stipulation was the opener, SD's Heavyweight title and US title feuds in one match mid-way through it then it ended with two of the weirdest matches ever inc midegets, a doink and more.

Maybe Vince will go crazy this week and conclude that Raws rating drop is down to the fact that theres no fantasy league!

SME was a throw away show. Nothing great but nothing really horrible either. I did enjoy Finlays Bogeyman impersonation though.

looks like wwe took it off youtube.


ANYWAY

---

I email wwe fantasy about 2 weeks ago, i more or less said that the shows and ppv's do not seem as exciting without a fantasy league. I also said that when a league was running i would buy the PPV much quicker and last of all i said that the only problem i had with the league was when some people would get results of shows before the monday deadline closed.
This is the reply i got from them the other day----

Woah, I think Vince was actually on to something there! McMahon did go crazy this week, now we know why

Looking at the pics on wwe.com,it appears that Portugal got at least one signing event :rolleyes:
