Hoho! A favourite Coleism of mine.

cup of coffee appearance

Hoho! A favourite Coleism of mine.

Oh my.

The words Michael Cole, cup of coffee, intercontinental champion and Bob Holly always bring a smile to my face. 

He's had a cup of coffee with the Hardcore Title!

He's had a cup of coffee with the Hardcore Title!

Between the Attitude Era and 24/7 rule being brought it, whatd'ya expect, there was many a Hardcore Champ who was a champ for a cup of coffee, heck Pete Gas was one for like a sip of coffee wasn't he?  Anyway he was IC Champ for a cup of coffee back when reigns weren't so short (sans Bob Backlund) and a cup of coffee reign meant something (not in a good way like).  The thing is, despite the Michael Cole mention, the history books of WWE don't even acknowledge his cup of coffee reign, its like he never had that drink 

[Evolution]

I read somewhere that WWE has changed the recognition of all the Wrestlemania 2000 Battle Royal title changes and no longer count them!

According to Wikipedia, the longest reigning Hardcore Champion of the belt's history was actually Steve Blackman. Personally however I feel the belt had two golden eras, and his reigns aren't either. They are first, when Crash Holly had it (obviously) and Rob Van Dam's three reigns. The belt was featured heavily in television main events and major PPV matches on many occasions, plus you had guys like Jeff Hardy, The Undertaker and Kurt Angle winning it!

[Hammy]

I know he was good with weapons and such but when I think of Steve Blackman, I think...I'm going to need a side order of personality with that.  Although WWE clearly thought that to, and so Head Cheese was born.  Good times!

[Evolution]

I think of him as the man who will never get his top-line feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin. First you had Blackman robbed of his chance to face him at KOTR 1999, then getting a stunner after Shane falsely accused him of running over Austin.

[Hammy]

then getting a stunner after Shane falsely accused him of running over Austin.

....Oi Billy was robbed to!

What if in future games

TNA is included but u expand it to being able to include 2 TNA guys *can't drop either*


That introduces even more strategy into the game and it broadens the WWE roster and allows for more exciting pickups while also allowing more people to participate.


People who don't follow TNA.. All u gotta do is look at some spoilers and see who is doing what.

like I said, if someone didn't want TWO TNA guys, the people who do take two would just leave more high caliber WWE guys for those who don't watch or follow TNA close.

Two TNA picks is an interesting idea. Especially if you can't drop your first two and also TNA guys, i think alot of people would get TNA guys out of the way early so they have more flexibility and that will leave more top WWE guys.

I mean you could end up with 4 people that can't be dropped. I think it would almost make your TNA picks more important than WWE which when you think about it only favours the TNA followers. To be honest i don't mind as long as the TNA guys can't ever be dropped. Thats where TNA knowledge could lead to a real advantage.

[Mr Cowbell ?]

If u really wanted people to think strategy NEVER and I mean never let anyome drop their first pick for any reason.  Even if hurtit would really make u twice hard and twice about taking a bastita or an injury prone person.

As far as 2 tna guys go for the next tna game I'm not against it. Its harder for me to follow it as I don't see it much but it would leave room for good players to be drafted now.  Right now wwe is releasing more people to save money then bringing more people onto to tv and it makes u have to look at people like goldust to fill roster spots

[D]

The Two TNA thing would work because everyone knows the main event big time guys. U just have to follow the spoilers on a couple PPV


and really, me knowing that Matt Morgan is on the rise would be no different than someone being able to get a Kane or Big Show that would be left over cause someone took Morgan.



It just sucks when for our 5th picks, we have a bunch of table scraps.

This also evens out the Pickup of a debut more because if u can have a great 5 man roster, it isn't as big a blow to not win a top debut.

Zack Diggler objects to this comment 

[D]

i meant non TNA games.

when we don't have TNA our 5th picks are normally garbage

[Gnrfan]

and really, me knowing that Matt Morgan is on the rise would be no different than someone being able to get a Kane or Big Show that would be left over cause someone took Morgan.

I disagee. I think it does give an advantage. I won't follow TNA... tv or spoilers! Can't be bothered with it. I just download the PPV's and catch old shows on TV from time to time. I don't even know who Matt Morgan is in terms of Size, charecter or Potential.

Having said that say you pick 2 TNA guys.... and then you can't trade them EVER in the game. Maybe thats the chance people take. And i think i'd be ok with that. If you start trading TNA guys then i think that would be rubbish and a massive advantage to followers of TNA. But i do agree that with 12 players the 5th pick can be dire sometimes.

[Hammy]

Not to worry.

Next game will crown our first ever King of the Ring, to mark the 10th Anniversary of the victory of the Greatest one of ALL time.

Believe Dat!

[BlowUpYourVideo]

Not to worry.

Believe Dat!

But it's been 11 years since Ken Shamrock won KOTR....
