Tribute To Chris Benoit And The Benoit Family

I think this weeks Raw is one to miss, it's been a week into the Vince's Death angle and i am sick of it. If in story he is dead then just stop talking about it and then let the show go on and let it stay there untill they "find" out who did it.

[Guest Dave7g]

Also don't forget Snitsky's return to Raw. It's a huge deal, he hasn't been on the show in two weeks.

[Guest Al Stevens]

Wow Snitsky. Thats going to pull in the viewers isnt :roll.

 

Also is it a good betting that there going to pull some stupid "tribute video"

[Guest Dave7g]

Pretty good bet since the whole 3 hours is dedicated to the memory of "Mr" McMahon.

You would think listening to you, that someone was forcing you to watch it.....

 

But we all know firslty you just type your little tirades to gain a reaction, and secondly, at 1am Tuesday morning you will be sat watching....ready to write you comical anti WWE rants....

I think his anti-WWE rants are a pretty good balance to your pro-WWE "can't criticise because it's ENTERTAINMENT" rants.

[Nimf 324]

Snitsky frightens me...

[Guest MastersGonads]

Thats funny, because I openly criticise the WWE on numerous occasions....so that cheap shot nosedived....

[TPIB 62]

I imagine, seeing as it's a "memorial service" that WWE will have a casket of some sort (even though Mr. McMahon's "remains" are non-existent) if they want to pull off this RAW as a memorial service. Granted, to make it look legit they'd need to have the superstars/staff all come out in black suits/dresses and everything, but I don't see them doing that. I could be wrong, though.

I watch it because I like wrestling, I have for far too long. I enjoy talking about it here, now you on the other hand have said many times that you don't like it at all and it's just a job to you.

 

Yet you will be here at 1 am on Tuesday morning, ready to defend absolutley everything and anything that happens, in a towing the corporate line, as always.

Actually I wont be on here to defend it 1am Tuesday Morning, as I will be coordinating with the States, on the live show, its a bit difficult to post on TWO and Produce a show for a network at the same time....

 

And yes, I have no real love or passion for the wrestling, I do see it as a job, but I suppose at times, this is what gives me an opposite view to a 'fans' perspective, but does that make my opinion any less valid? Without any arrogance at all, I watch over 30+ hours of WWE a week, and have an insight into certain production aspects, which gives me at least some credibility on what I think is good and bad in the WWE?!

 

Plus, As I said to Craig, I have openly criticised the WWE on numerous occasions, If there is something I dont agree with, I certainly wouldnt defend the WWE at all.....Plus the fact that I have left the States now means I have no corporate line to toe...

 

You see Dave, Its easy why I am so misconstrued about your love for wrestling as its very hard at times to find anything you actually enjoy about the WWE, seeing you complain about most aspects of a WWE show on a weekly basis

And that's why we love him.

[Guest MastersGonads]

See I am of the thinking if I dont like something, I wont watch it...instead of complaining about it at every oppurtunity....

[Guest Dave7g]

I do like it though.

 

It's like watching your favourite football team put in half arsed perfomances every week, then disecting it.

 

Just because your team is the worst it's been in a long, long time, doesn't mean you don't stop watching them, or liking football.

[Murph 93]

Well, to me, wrestling is different that normal television. If Celtic started to play poorly, and were lying in mid-table, I'd still be watching every game, so I suppose it's the same way with Dave and wrestling...not to speak for Dave.

 

EDIT://

Spooky, we posted nearly the exactly same thing at the same time.

 

Retarded minds think alike.

Jeez you two...its hard enough debating with two of you, let alone when you have abnormal psychic qualities!! :lol

 

I do strangely understand where your coming from.....But for me it seems *at times* your like a guy I used to sit near when watching the mighty Plymouth Argyle.....He used to complain if we were 3-0 because it wasnt 5, or would give our striker grief if he missed, when he had already scored a hatrick...!!

Now that is quite strange, perhaps the ghost of Owen IS in fact haunting the Kemper arena.

Well if thats the case how comes you dont watch SmackDown anymore?

[Guest Kanenite]

This RAW might be missable. I'll end up watching but can't stand it if they're going to fill it with Tributes and Mcmahon highlights of absolutely everything, he's been entertaining aswell but half of this has already been shoved down our throats for the past week. It depends what matches happen though aswell, if they're going to have some Interpromotional matches it could make for a great show Wrestling wise.

[Guest Laffy]

Sky Plus then watch and skip watch and skip.

[Guest dpddave]

I wont be staying up to watch it live anyway...i might watch it thursday though...

[Guest Dave7g]

I guess it's because Raw is live, and therefore worth watching. Oh and it's Friday Night too! And that's all I need to say.

[Guest dpddave]

Thats the reason i rarely watch smackdown aswel...the only time i might catch it is the repeats during the week....

[DC 536]

I think his anti-WWE rants are a pretty good balance to your pro-WWE "can't criticise because it's ENTERTAINMENT" rants.

Which is similar to your posts being a pretty good balance with good ones.:P
