Austin is DONE as a wrestler.

He basically can't do it anymore because of recurring injuries to his neck, not to mention BOTH knees.

He was brought on as RAW general manager before--that worked for a bit, but it ultimately failed because Austin didn't wrestle.

Fans don't want to see Stone Cold as an on-screen personality, manager, whatever. They want to see him wrestle and so on.

He can't do it, so that's it. Austin AINT coming back like that.

The problem is that WWE is having difficulty developing NEW stars.

Or that there doesn't seem anyone out there who is special enough to be the next Hogan, HBK, Rock or Austin.

WWE is starting to look a lot like WCW in the late 90s, relying on old talent for ratings, PPV buy rates, etc, because there is no one, or that there not developing new talent to 'carry the torch' so to speak.

In the 80s, we had Hogan, Savage, etc.

In the 90s, we had Micheals, Hart, Undertaker, Nash, Hall, etc.

By the late 90s-into 2000, we had the Rock, Austin and HHH, riding the wave.

To my mind, since the Rock, there hasn't been ANYONE NEAR that calibre or the names I mentioned that can carry WWE into future years.

Forget about Cena, Batista, and so on.

They suck and everyone knows it.

I disagree bro. The co-managerial deal with Bischoff got alot of heat, and basically ended due to SCSA's ludicrous monetarial demands. I'm fully aware of his neck welds....fuck, he was never a mat technician.

Make no mistake, he'd bolster the WWE's merch-sales like yesterday's tomorrow.....and that???

Let's see....what would Vince Say??

THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!!!
:D

I disagree dude.

The point I was trying to make was that Austin as an "on-screen personality/manager" only goes so far before it gets stale.

Why???? Because he's not in any matches.

He can come in and give a stunner or two -- but at this point, the WWE needs him to do more but they know he can't.

I started watching the first hour of RAW and decided I'd had enough.

The most boring ass storylines and matches ever!

I didn't even stay up to watch the HHH-Orton match.

Fuck, it looked like WCW, circa 2000.

Boy dies in hanging

SYRACUSE, N.Y. A six-year-old boy may have been trying to imitate wrestling moves when he hanged himself from a doorknob.

A family friend says Kareem Pendergraph loved to watch wrestling on television.

Kareem's death is particularly tragic for the Syracuse, New York, family. Police say the family lost a seven-month-old child from sudden infant death syndrome in 2003 and an eleven-month-old child died of pneumonia in 1998.

Police say Kareem's death appears to be accidental, but that it still is under investigation.

The family friend says Kareem was alone with his grandfather when the accident took place. The boy had asked if he could watch a professional wrestling show on T-V and went upstairs to play. He was discovered later that night hanging from a belt.

So he hung himself? He must have been watching a Cena or Batista match and coundnt take watching their lousy wrestling skills.... :D

It's all good bro. The point I was trying to make was that SCSA's history with DX and Bischoff would lend itself well to the "independent badass" gimmick. Think about it.

Chris Jericho XM interview piece

http://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.asp?id=21071&p=1

Y2J says "Slam Dunk!" is a pretty little ditty with the guitar work of John 5, who either is currently or used to play with Paul Stanley on the "Live To Win" record & is now in Rob Zombie's band on the "Educated Horses" record & touring with the band also. He says "Slam Dunk!" was after Roth's popularity [yep, as he says it] "waned" in '98 when the record ["DLR Band"] came out on an indy label [Wawazat Records], says it had all these crazy songs & even though "Slam Dunk!" is a cool song, he mentions "Lose The Dress [Keep The Shoes]" & says that's his motto for any fine female that may meet him in the future. He says another great song title which was the name of his record company that he released it under called "Wa Wa Zat!!", as in "What Was That" but spelled differently & sings:"Wa Wa Zat!!", BIOW, "Wa Wa Zat!!", BEBEBOW, "Wa Wa Zat!!", "Wa Wa Zat!!' ". He says only Dave can get away with opening a record company called Wawazat Records & says "DAVE RULES, DAVE PLEASE, GET A HOLD OF EDDIE VAN HALEN, GRAB HIM BY HIS THROAT & SAYS 'EDDIE, STOP IT, STOP WRITING SONGS FOR PORNOS & GET BACK ON THE HORSE, CLEAN UP, REHEARSE & LET'S GO PLAY FRIGGING GIANTS STADIUM WITH THE VH REUNION TOUR'".

Yeah, I finally got around to watching Cyber Sunday last night.

Piper is really out of shape, literally no muscle at all.

He was never ripped but he`s lost what build he had, he made Flair look like Batista.

He should have kept his Tshirt on.

Other than that, the show pretty much sucked.

Why bother having a "Champion of Champions" match when everybody knows that noone is going to drop their belt?

OK, shithead. Why don't you educate somebody with all 17 years of your accumulated so-called "knowledge" about professional wrestling, then?

Fucking retard.

There's a chapter in Arn Anderson's "Behind The Curtain" book regarding "goons". Fuckers' that would "stretch" trainees' back in the old days. He goes into detail regarding Piper's cruel tendencies. Apparently, some muscle-bound dipshit got put in an arm-bar....next stop? The hospital.

Piper was arguably in his best-physical-conditioning for John Carpenter's "They Live." Hollyroids!!! Let's all re-live the heel-larious fight scene!!
