    Actually i'm not expecting a lot of cuts this year. One or two certainly, and a few will be let go from FCW, but nothing extreme. Raw and Smackdown have between 25-30 men and less than 10 women each, so the rosters aren't overly stacked.

    Heck, even Chavo Guerrero had a PPV match last week for the first time since Extreme Rules, June 2009! (Possibly stand to be corrected on that though)

    Clever way of saying "John Doe" or "Mr Smith", except this is the version for kids. Little Timmy would have worked too maybe.

    That makes sense.
    So when did he start saying it? This week was the first raw I've watched live and can't remember him saying it as a face.

    Afiak, when he turned heel in England back in April is when he first started mentioning Little Jimmy

    Money.

    Two brands means two sets of house shows running at the same time meaning twice the attendance and twice the live exposure. One brand would half the money they make from live shows.

    Considering that he got an on screen mention last week, i'd imagine it's pretty likely. Double Standards though - as he was constantly overlooked before he died.

    Going be previous "retirements" it's relitively likely - no one knows but himself though i'd guess.

    For those with or previous had subscriptions to FSM....do they send you notice that your subscription is ended? Cause I've not got the latest issue yet and I saw it in the shop nearly two weeks ago :confused: I know I've had issues with delays before but I'm worried my subscription is ended and they've not bothered to even see if I want to renew (which I don't, granted. Whole thing has been a nightmare).

    they don't it just sort of lapses, i never renewed mine delivery to ireland seems to be a nightmare for them, i ended up with 3 copies of 1 issue and had to buy an issue in the shop as i didn't even get one one month, much easier to just grab it in the shops

    why does the biggest babyface in wrestling always have the worst finishing move?

    The stone cold stunner was a very good finisher, probably the most iconic finisher in history!

    couuple of questions:

    Will the undertaker and triple h ever wrestle again?
    What has happened to the big shows and kanes characters? They are so lame now.

    Yes. The reason why their not on tv is because their on their own special schedules. HHH is working behind the scenes now and Taker's pretty banged up. They'll normally return at around SummerSlam/Road to Mania

    Both have been victims to so many face/heel turns over the years that it's practically diluted their characters impact.

    Vince doesn't like tag wrestling and believes it doesn't draw in money

    Holy crap, I completely forgot about Big Brodus Clay! I guess he's been punished for botching his on spot where he bled like a mofo!
    ciff wrote: »

    1. Taker? Yes. He's on his annual vacation at the moment. There's three PPVs he could wrestle at - SummerSlam, Survivor Series or WrestleMania. My gut says he'll have a short run returning at SummerSlam and losing/getting blown up etc @ Survivor Series and returning in time to redo mania.

    Worst case scenario is that he just holds off completely until February to set up Mania.

    HHH? Yes; and he'll likely face Taker again. Either at one of the big shows (SummerSlam, Survivor Series or Mania). It really depends how bad they need both guys back.

    2. Lazy writing. Creative see them as over enough but not important enough to put any thought into their characters. They're basically just themselves now. It's bloody shocking! The problem with Show is that he's asked to fill many different roles; comedy and serious, singles and tag, and switches very often that his character is a bit of a mess. Kane, who knows. It's heartbreaking to see; considering how he was in 97-98 and again in '03.

    3. Because Vince has no stock in the tag division. He'd much rather just push singles stars. He doesn't even see that tag teams can be used to help a wrestler grow as a performer without being exposed as crap; and as a vehicle as a breakout singles star. (See Shawn Michaels).

    Interesting note on Brodus Clay, he's off the road because he's been cast in a new WWE Film.

    He's been as good as retired for years now. Doesn't mean he can't still pop up for his bi-yearly appearances :P

    Has a heel ever won the Royal Rumble? Im trying to think of one but I cant anyway!


    Also, are the WWE titles made from real gold? Or do they have multiple numbers of the same titles so are made from like gold plated steel or something.

    Randy Orton in 2009,
    Batista in 2005,
    Brock in 2003,
    Tripper in 2002,
    Stone cold in 1997,
    Vince in 1999,
    And then the first "Heel" win was in 1993 and was Yokozuna.
