HHH wouldn't have his spot?Yeah right steiner.HHH was in the main event before Stephanie

[Guest Drake]

Ok dude, it's known that HHH was a main eventer before he hooked up woth Stepgh but then again it's pretty clear that he maintaned a ME spot thanks to her also. But this issue has been fought on so many times that I really don't think we should turn this thread into debating that.

 

Now concerning the Steinner interview, he said that he got his chest tatoo for his freaks, well to be honest I think it looks horrible and it makes his chest look so weird but hey whatever flows you'r boat.

Fair enough, i dont want to turn this into another HHH bashing thread anyway.

 

Another of Steiners comments got me thinking.

 

- Steiner trashed the Spirit Squad, and can’t believe WWE is pushing a “retard.”

 

Who's the retard?

[Guest Dave7g]

Eugene...

[Guest DOB]

Eugene is getting a push though

[Guest Craig]

- He didn’t want to comment on the war of words between AJ Styles and Batista.

 

I've seen bits and pieces of this, but what exactly all was said?

[Guest Danny Styles]

Eugene is getting a push though

 

Eugene ISN'T getting a push, he's on heat and that's it

 

I think he's talking about Cena in ring, you have to admit he looks like a retard doing most of his moves :D

[Guest Craig]

I think he's talking about Cena in ring, you have to admit he looks like a retard doing most of his moves :D

 

He could have been talking about Shawn Michaels. It'd take a special kind of man to wear leather chops and dance around the ring like a stripper on speed.

[Guest Danny Styles]

He could have been talking about Shawn Michaels. It'd take a special kind of man to wear leather chops and dance around the ring like a stripper on speed.

 

well then it may be the boogeyman because it takes a special guy to wear face paint and eat worms

 

or Burchill for dressing as a pirate and swinging in on a rope

 

it could anyone of WWE's gimmick people but i stick with my Cena idea

[Guest Craig]

You COULD say it for any gimmick, but really, who in their right mind WOULDN'T want to paint their face and eat worms like the Boogeyman? Exactly.

[Guest Dave7g]

I'm quite sure he means Eugene, he did get a huge pop and his gimmick is that he's retarded. It's such a shock that the gimmick failed miserably isn't it.

[Guest Scotty2Hotty]

i know nothing about that aj styles and batista story? someone want to fill me in?!?

[Guest Dave7g]

Batista basically called AJ and TNA matches, "Car Crash Matches" in an interview, he said that they didn't know how to wrestle (Yeah Batista said this), then the genius that is Batista went on to say in the same interview that "He's never seen any TNA". AJ and Samoa Joe took exeption to this of course, i've not seen what AJ has said anywhere yet.

[Guest MrFill]

AJ and Samoa Joe took exeption to this of course' date=' i've not seen what AJ has said anywhere yet.[/quote']

Come on, you know you all want to see it:

Samoa Joe vs DAVE~! in a shoot match. :D

[Ryan 188]

dunno about anyone else, but i'd rather watch Batista beat the crap out of someone than AJ Styles jumping around, personal opinion ofcourse :)

[lawrence619 13]

i agree aj is just a glorified gymnast. I hope dave kicks his ass!

[Guest Dan]

indeed it is, I know what I'd rather see.

 

Oh, and this was AJ Styles response to Big Dave in a recent interview;

 

AJ would like to tell Batista, who called him a "spot monkey" in a earlier interview, that "I think it's funny that a guy who takes a bump and tears his back tells me that I don't know how to wrestle."

Edited April 19, 2006 by Dan

[Guest Dave7g]

Oh yeah, I remember that now, AJ has a pretty good point. AJ isn't injured is he.

[Guest Nemesis Enforcer]

- He said the “big poppa pump” gimmick is who he is, and said it’s natural for him to upset the crowd.

I will never forget these words from 'Big Poppa Pump' he once said... "When you are a kid you do things that make you happy, why then when you become an adult should you stop that" :P

 

He has a point there and thats why he is how he is :D

[Guest Keith Would]

- Steiner said he is wrestling as much as he wants to, and would have no problem with drug testing as he has never failed a drug test in his life.

 

I've never failed a drugs test in my life either. I've also never taken one.........

 

It is natural for him to upset the crowd, absymal wrestlers like him usually do as the crowd don't want to see him.

 

Steiner is a total ***** in my opinion.

[Red05 343]

Steiner said he is wrestling as much as he wants to, and would have no problem with drug testing as he has never failed a drug test in his life.

 

Can't believe that, he HAS to be taking something.

Nice to see kayfabe isnt totally extinct.:lol

[Guest CoTT]

After reading that all I can say is that Scott Steiner has no penis and he certainly doesn't have any balls. When did Steiner ever beat Goldberg? He took a very cheap shot at HHH also. He's definitely on steroids. No doubt whatsoever. In regards to the "retard" comment I think he meant Eugene but he clearly hasn't been watching recently. He's also a complete wuss for shying away from the Styles/Batista question.

[Naitch 207]

When did Steiner ever beat Goldberg?

 

Fall Brawl 2000. Really well worked, entertaining brawl it was too.

[Guest CoTT]

Clean? One-on-one?
