Jung Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Lets have a look at all these decent workers who WWF aren't using: -Jerry Lynn -Raven -Tommy Dreamer -Steven Richards -Justin Credible -Chavo Guerrero jr. -Billy Kidman -Dlo Brown -EZ Money -Mike Sanders -Shannon Moore -Jamie Knoble they are just a few, I mean all those guys are doing about as much as Carlton Palmer did when he played for England. I really pray they get some decent spots or feuds when/if the roster splits ever occurred. And some development guys get brought up, and some decent freelancers get signed i.e. Steiner, Rey, Juvi, Crazy, Jarrett, Eddie yes i know, now im just dreaming, but well its better to dream of that then watching regal v edge in a waste of time on a pole match. yes i do believe 245 brit regal needs brass knux to beat 5'4 ppl like tajiri?! laters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tajiri Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Justin Credible will probaly be brought into the nWo with his little pot-puffing side kick to be Big Poochie's side-kicks. I can't see the rest going anyware unless and decent Cruiser division is made and how long has Jim Ross been saying it might happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayden Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Which begs the question, do the WWF sign guys simply so that somebody else doesn't get them. Keep a huge roster of wasted talent, just so that somebody else doesn't snap up all that talent, use it properly and become a threat. There's constant talk of new guys coming into WWF, but lets be honest with everything Vince has available already do they need more talent? Sure I'd like to see them sign a number of guys, primarily Rey and Juvi, but they can certainly survive without them. They already have the wrestlers there to have a great cruiserweight division. And Scott Steiner, Savage, Goldberg etc. do they really need more main eventers? Would love to see them sign Steiner, but they can live without him. Did he sign Hogan to boost his ratings, or to damage XWF's? If you think Flair's the dirtiest player in the game, you're looking in the wrong direction, it's Vince. Can't knock him for it, great businessman who's dominated the sports entertainment industry, but from a fan's point of view there are so many guys at the moment I want to see on tv, but can't.

Simon Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Goddamnit Jaydens right. If the WWF doesnt see people like Tommy Dreamer as important, its denying companies like the WWA a decent talented wrestler. Its ridiculous, and the WWFs own monopoly could end up being the real cancer leading to its fall. I dont think it will ever die, just maybe go through the horrible 1995ish period of popularity. Vince McMahon needs to stop being a poohead, to put it politely eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayden Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 yeah you can't blame him for doing it, but the lack of competition and variety isn't a good thing for the industry. wwf got lazy once before when wcw were at a low, and look what happened. wcw came back, were on the verge of putting them out of business and wwf was forced to react. and oh how they reacted. if future lows create that kind of response i don't mind, but who's gonna kick their asses into gear? czw/xpw/wwa/xwf/xpw/mecw? yeah right. wwa is the only one that looks like it could make the step, but it would conceivably be years before they were able to compete with wwf. the problem is what guy from any of those promotions wouldn't jump at the chance to work for the wwf? wwf has whoever they want to have, and the rest have to try and make something out of their leftovers.

Guest NJC Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I know he is always on TV and PPV, but dammit Booker T is underused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crippler Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I agree that Booker T is underused. But if you used these guys mentioned then other guys would disappear then we would hear everyone bitch about those guys being underused.

Guest Perfection Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 Hopefully the split roser will help with this, but Vince will probably still find a way of making it pants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Genetic Jackhammer Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 dam right Booker T is underused, I hope he will get a push back to the top if and when the roster spilts but I would like him to stay as a heel as I like him better, and it would be good if Stevey Ray came to wwf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayden Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 good if stevie ray came to wwf? fraid i have to disagree with ya there. such a gap in talent between him and booker t, stevie works awful matches, surely there's no chance of vince signing him. lets hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayden Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 err yeah we will, is that a good thing? sure they were pretty great back i the day before everyone realised how talented booker was. It would be a huge step backwards in his career to start teaming, or eveb feuding with his brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tajiri Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 The reason there is so much missused talent is that WWF have 2 rosters worth since WCW went under and only the standard WWF TV time to use but why Billy and Chuck, Godfather, Goldust etc have gotten TV time in recent weeks is beyond me.

Jayden Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 yeah take the last RAW, Goldust, Perfect, Godfather and Billy and Chuck all got tv time. how many guys can you think of under contract with wwf that you'd rather see on tv?

Jung Posted February 21, 2002 Author Share Posted February 21, 2002 guys to answer why people like palumbo, bossman, godfather, goldust get ring time over people like raven, credible, lynn etc is just look at them. 6'5,6'6,6'8'6'5, big muscular guys v par 6 footers all bit over 200. Thats your answer, talent is bottom, its all about how they look. surely they''ve given you enough examples over the years andre, bundy, hogan, warrior, earthquake, kamala, ...

Well done Sherlock, didn't you notice that the only reason they signed mr perfect was to keep him away from XWF, a few months ago they wouldn't take him.

The Crippler Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Its not Vinces job to make sure other promotions do well. All he is worried about is the WWF and if he thinks by keeping talent away from other promotions will help his promotion then he is going to do it.

Jayden Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Yeah, I've said it numerous times in this thread, and I'll say it again. You can't blame Vince for trying to make his company the most successful, and keep it that way. From my personal point of view it's disappointing because I want to see these guys, but that has as much to do with ECW and WCW failing in their own business affairs, as it does with Vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
