If anyone is a fan of the WWF or WCW and has been keeping up with this entire invasion angle thing, then you have to check out this column on this one site, Especially if what you have been seeing just pisses the hell out of you.





WCW Being Screwed by McMahon?

<< argh! must destroy wrestling >>

I really want to know your exact reasoning behind such a comment.

Because, as I see it, in no way does it add anything relevant to the topic at hand, and serves zero purpose as to what I can see. In other words, as the Anandtech people like to put it, you were &quot;crapping&quot;, a concept I've never understood. Perhaps you could take a chance at explaining it to me?

I suppose there's some irony in me taking this further off topic, but I'll get back to the column at hand in a minute..

Wrestling is viewed as &quot;redneck&quot; entertainment, but I attend college and I will tell you this, monday nights are one of the biggest gathering nights for all guys of all backgrounds to sit down and watch RAW. It's the male version of a soap oprea and I see nothing wrong with it. It is the highest rated cable program and has been for several years now. I guess 7 million viewers can't be wrong? I guess selling out Madison Square Garden twice last week isn't something noteworthy as well? I didn't know that many rednecks lived in NYC?

I have a feeling this will be long, but I have no life, no dreams, no hopes, but I do have a class at 7a.m. tomorrow, so nothing lost! :)

And even though this is a column writer who will never read what I said, I will direct to him in the 2nd person.

The WWF ratings will peak out in the next 3-9 weeks and then we will see the same decline that we saw before Vince used the angle of all angles to stop his recent ratings slide.

They usually do peak out right after Summerslam. IIRC, the week before Summerslam last year, they did a rating that has been matched at MOST 3 times since then. We're talking a span of a year, and the ratings have hardly ever matched what that show did. Of course there's a whole network move thing and all, but whatever..

And the author does a great job of going out on a limb there, 3-9 weeks? Hey I predict it'll go down in the next 1-100 weeks.


I felt with all the &quot;Invasion&quot; buildup that WCW would actually invade the WWF. HAHA..I guess not. That surely has not happened as of yet.

Are you just impatient? Can you not wait three weeks until the PPV?

On that logic, since the Rock has yet to come back, I don't think he ever will :(


Then I hear the words, it'll come. What will come? It's suppose to be a damn invasion, not the same 5 superstars every week? What kind of damn invasion is that?

See above, IT WILL COME. What in the world does he think that means? WILL means that eventually, meaning sometime in the future, the event will take place.

What we need are the following names, none of which we will see:

Ric Flair

Ric Flair is 50+ and is as much use as Terri at this point in terms of wrestling.

Scott Steiner

Who's to say he's not coming? The author did explain he doesn't have &quot;inside&quot; info. And if this guy is coming, you can be sure there'll be HUGE build up.

Scott Hall

Why in the world would the WWF need an alcholic/drug addict at this point?

Jeff Jarrett

Wow the author really goes out of his way to pick the worst candidates out there. Considering Jarrett basically stole $250k from Vince, I don't think so..

I will say he's not THAT bad of a choice..


Kevin Nash

Same with Flair, except for the age thing. And the WWF doesn't need TWO undertakers

Hulk Hogan

Same with Flair to the 1000th power.

Bret Hart

Also the same as Flair, unless the author wants to see Bret suffer permanent brain damage he is being quite stupid.

Randy Savage

Sting

Bill Goldberg

Savage and Sting are in the same situation as Nash, Flair, Hogan, they can't wrestle, and would serve no purpose.

Goldberg on the other hand would provide some good feuds, but will be limited by his wrestling skills, or lack thereof.

....This is no longer fun, since I realize no one will reply :(

Good points...E-mail the columnist guy, I e-mailed him, he always pastes the fans response on the column on the site. He only writes every so often but I really like when he does! Anyhow I think his e-mail is on the site? On wrestling terms I agree with what you say somwhat, although Vince has to bring in &quot;Named&quot; talent to help with this Invasion angle. Booker T and Buff Bagwell will continued to be booed out of the arena and I hope Vince realized this tonight.

I think what he's doing first is to bring in the WCW fans.

The ratings for RAW when WCW was still around is nearly identical, if not lower than when they're gone. So he basically wants to get ALL wrestling viewers out there to tune into WWF programming, which in turn would make him a happy camper.
