JBL offering Shawn Michaels a job so his kids can go to college isn't dangerous enough for you?

Looks like WWE turned it around

This could approach Katie Vick status.

Nothing WWE do from now on will reach Katie Vick status.

We joke, but our criticism really had an impact

Those ''attitude'' style storylines promptly vanished

...I know these storylines were awful - but they werent boring

I'd take a WWE jammed up with absurdly OTT storylines about ghosts, time travelling champions and choregraphed murders than a WWE thats just BORING

Yea I agree. Although some of them were just wrong on so many levels part of you always wanted to see how far they would go with it.

Katie Vick storyline was obviously tasteless but were else can you see a jacked up muscle man wearing a skin coloured thong pretending to have sex with a doll on top of a coffin in a real funeral home?

Beaver Cleavage...come back...all is forgiven 

[Izzy]

Kane jobbed on RAW,

Has such a thing happened before?

[D]

If we get really lucky, maybe we can see Kane in another Inferno match!

Cant do that - too dangerous in WWE's book

...a show about beating people up is obsessed with health and safety...its like some kind of twisted joke

Is anyone else pissed off by the WWE's disclaimer ''it takes years of practice to SAFELY do these moves''

...safely tombstone people?!

Maybe they should have a giant logo saying ''its all fake, your basically watching ballet''

[Izzy]

lol TNA faux paus

Roxxi 'i was born and raised in Boston'

Entrance '...from New Orleans'

FAIL

[D]

TNA hit 1.18 on the ratings.

That shit is skyrocketing with the MEF/Front Line angle. It will beat SD this time next year if it keeps going this way

[*Timothy*]

doesn't Tna mafia / frontline angel seem to be the same thing they did in wcw with millioniars vs the new guys??

[D]

Wrestling is all about the recycled storyline.

[Hammy]

Wrestling is all about the recycled storyline.

I think due to the drop off of fans and influx of new ones, it's meant to work on a seven year cycle.

[BlowUpYourVideo]

Whatever happened to Kizarny?

[sweet616]

hahahaha i was actualy thinking that the other day, he probs failed a drugs test

[AxlsMainMan]

Anyone see the size of the suit jacket Matt Hardy was wearing last night?

[*Timothy*]

PWINSIDER.COM EXCLUSIVE: OH MY GOD - YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED IN IRAQ
by Mike Johnson @ 9:52 AM on 12/9/2008


One of the most newsworthy events that transpired on World Wrestling Entertainment's tour of Iraq last week took place nowhere near any of the cameras that were filming the tour. I was stunned at hearing the following story over the weekend and initially chalked it up to being just an urban legend, but as it turns out, it was completely accurate.

Retired WWE announcer (and current WWE.com personality) Joey Styles punched out former WWE champion JBL in Iraq during an altercation between the two, busting JBL open under the eye.

No, that is not a typo.

As the story was initially explained to me (and all versions I've heard since have matched the original report I was conveyed), JBL made Styles something of a target because it was Styles' first tour of Iraq for the company and was hazing the former ECW announcer.

I was told JBL was trying to bully Styles with a lot of condescending comments and actions, including allegedly spilling a drink on Styles on purpose. JBL was more or less pulling a lot of the shenanigans that a lot of of the performers in the company can't stand but deal with since he has the political stroke of being a tenured veteran.

Several days into the tour, JBL (who by all accounts, had been drinking) did something that caused Styles to physically retaliate in defense. A number of wrestlers stepped between them and held the two apart. When JBL broke free, he went towards Styles, who "nailed him perfectly with a pretty good shot" according to one witness, laying JBL out, busting him open and blackening his eye.

There were no further incidents between the two on the tour after that.

There were a number of performers who pointed out to me that the story was something of karma coming back to bite JBL in the rear because his antics had caused Smackdown talent Palmer Cannon to quit the company during a European tour (and Cannon wasn't the only victim of JBL's hazing over the years) as well as the famous 2005 ECW One Night Stand beating of the Blue Meanie during the PPV closing brawl inside the ring.

At last night's Raw in Philadelphia, the story was the talk of the day among wrestlers, who were amazed by the incident. I was also told JBL was acting completely subdued at the taping, something absolutely out of character for him, as he knew the story was making the rounds. Styles, meanwhile, was trying to downplay the incident to those who brought it up to him at Raw.

It was considered doubly embarrassing for JBL among the wrestlers since he was so involved with setting up the Iraq tours.

In a strange way, some theorized the incident would get Styles over with Vince McMahon because it showed his "toughness" and could pave the way for his return to TV. I have no idea whether Styles' cameo last night was part of any direct result of the "Iraq Punchout", as it was termed to me.

Now that is some funny shit!!
