  1. I hope that she is able to make the role her own. But I just think that it will be hard to see her without thinking about her comedic characters. They are very strong characters.
  2. I just realised that you had children very young Lisa..I am shocked that you have two kids, you look so young... Woooooooooooo
  3. If a man of his age can get kids excited, then it shows his obvious class. Flair has truly earned the LEGEND tag.
  4. The release of The Sandman and Sabu are two totally different monsters. Sabu was renowned for no showing shows, and it has been cited on many occasions by former employers when he has been released before. Over the past few years Sabu has had bad direction from so called agents etc who have represented his career in wrestling, personal appearances and film (yes, he is in a few)..something he has himself said in an interview. However, there is great confusement over why the Sandman was released. He has said that he was confused as to why he was moved away from ECW as he didn't think that he could fit in on Raw or Smackdown. He is known as a loyal employee who will do the job when required. So, I guess the truth will come out in due course. As regards the current state of ECW, it is now going in a direction back to its roots. They are gradually rebuilding the talent pool, and even the addition of Big Daddy V with Matt Striker is a hark back to the good old days of one big monster on the roster. So, as Vince is doing, give it a bit longer to see the results. Although I dislike his character of Johnny Nitro, John Hennigan has found his niche as John Morrison. With him I think we have a heel in the making to reach the level of Shane Douglas and the Triple Threat.
  5. The Nature Boy is very popular worldwide, and probably nearly as popular in the UK as he is in his home state of North Carolina. That is why the WWE is working hard to placate him. It is rooted in that Ric was pencilled in for a run at John Cena and the title. However, as a personal favour, Vince McMahon asked him to move to Smackdown and babysit Dave Batista as a fair chunk of the Smackdown locker room did not like Batista. He was then promised a run at Edge, instead of Cena, but Edge's injury put the breaks on that. It is just bad timing and I am sure that Flair will carry on with the WWE. Disclaimer: All of these comments are gleaned from numerous interviews given by roster talent and WWE staff regarding Flair. Jim Ross commented about the title challenge issue and the Nature Boy's move to Smackdown. These are all online in archive interviews. My View: As said above, I think it is just bad timing and a lot going on in Ric's personal life with his children and new business venture. Stree can get to all of us, and I am sure that Flair will be around for a while.
  6. The WWE have officially released The Sandman as of 11/09/07. Disclaimer: These facts are courtesy of a WWE press release and available online. My View: I feel that Sandman's move to Raw was a big mistake. He is ECW as much as Tommy Dreamer is. He should be on ECW helping rebuild that brand. I hope that he is rehired. But I think that the WWE are going away from controversy, and The Sandman is going through a court case at the moment for a woman suing him and the WWE for his ring entrance (details elsewhere on this forum). I also feel that his past image of smoking and drinking coming to the ring could be seen as controversial in this modern day.
  7. This storyline is still far from over. It has long term plans upto Wrestle Mania 24 in the Citrus Bowl. There will be a lot of twists and turns yet.
  8. Hey Lisa, I think it is a case of waiting and seeing. Huffman is a wealthy man with several non WWE businesses, so the WWE wages wouldn't hurt that much. He would be snapped up by TNA. However, his name is bigger on WWE programming. So, your hopes may come true dear..!!!
  9. The WWE have changed their decision not to name/confirm who has been suspended for Wellness Policy violations by giving a statement to the press. The Wrestling Observer printed the statement with the list as follows: Adam "Edge" Copeland Gregory Helms Charles "Charlie" Haas John "Morrison" Hennigan Kenneth "Mr Kennedy" Anderson Darren "William Regal" Matthews Shoichi Funaki Edward "Umaga" Fatu Salvador Chavito "Chavo Guerrero Jr" Guerrero III Chris "The Masterpiece Chris Masters" Mordetsky They have yet to confirm anymore suspensions and/or dismissals. Disclaimer: These comments/details are published courtesy of the WWE and Wrestling Observer. The statement is available online. My Comments: Those of us who follow the WWE pretty much knew that these names stood a good chance to be amongst those suspended. So, this isn't new news, but rather official confirmation.
  10. Booker Huffman has once again gone on record regarding his tenure with the WWE. He is now saying that he has not quit the WWE, but was misquoted by Dave Meltzer. I guess we will see in time!! Disclaimer: The new interview with Huffman is once again online and available if you look for it.
  11. This was a fallback situation that they had in mind if the storyline bombed. As Kennedy was one of the names on SIgnatre Pharmacies client list, it is indeed possible that the onscreen suspension for pretending to be Vince's son may be mirroring a real life suspension. However, another backup was that Kennedy forged the paternity results to get Vince's money. By involving HHH in the storyline, gives an off shoot story of Vince going after HHH. I think that this storyline is far from over..
  12. I am glad he is staying. He can bring alot of entertainment if allowed.
  13. Ric Flair was on local sports talk show Prime Time with The Packman this morning on WFNZ in Charlotte, NC. He said he will be opening a new business in Charlotte this week called Ric Flair Finance. Flair talked a little bit of football before the host asked him if he really quit WWE. Flair kinda laughed at it and said "No, it's not true." and asked what WWE would do without him. He didn't seem too sure of himself but he said he would talk more about everything next week on the same show. NB: These are facts that are available if you listen to the archive radio shows of Prime Time with The Packman on WFNZ.
  14. Booker Huffman aka King Booker has left the WWE and has since given an interview to wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer as to why. Booker Huffman has stated that he was supended for 60 days due to it being his second wellness policy violation, but feels that it was so long ago that he is unduly being targeted. He feels his expression of discontent when his own wrestling federation in Texas was overlooked for being a training and development territory for the WWE lead to this, in his opinion, very harsh punishment. On a side note, Booker Huffman has been seen meeting many TNA stars who have wrestled for him in Texas and an American Airline issued two plane tickets to the venue of tonight's No Surrender PPV in the names of Huffman and his Wife. NB: The above is printed as fact from interviews given by Huffamn himself, and a representative of the American Airline who issued the tickets. Search the internet to find them. On a side note, my personal opinion is that this is something that has been coming for sometime. Booker has gone on record as saying nagging injuries are being made worse by the punishing WWE travel schedule. He asked to retire twice in the last three years, and has admitted that big programmes kept him on board. If he does severe all ties with the WWE as he claims he has to Meltzer, then TNA would be a good option to keep him in the spotlight on a greatly reduced travel schedule and will more than likely keep the TNA guys competing in his own wrestling organisation. As of now, the WWE has neither confirmed or denied Huffman quitting. However, altered house show matches up to Christmas do not mention him as they did a couple of days ago.
  15. Ooh, I'm definitely not one of those, mate! It's my disclaimer as there are a couple of people on here who do not like me as they think they know me. God knows how. Buy hey ho.. NB: The views and opinions posted here are of the poster and not presented as any other fact that what the poster thinks...
