It was pretty darn funny when DX came out with riot gear to protect them from Sgt. Slaughter's spittle...

DX is stupid and old and needs to go back to 1997.

Did I hear correctly that DX reformed??
If so, who the hell is in it?
HHH is the only one still around right?

HBK and HHH. They reformed about a month ago. Fueding with Vince and Shane O'Mac. Tag match at summerslam.

BTW.. The New Age Outlaws are still around. They recent reformed in TNA as the James Gang.

X-pac still wrestles too.

I remember that, that was comedy gold back in the day seing them all with face shields on!

Oh, and i must disagree with Chad on this. I like the new DX.

ChadTower · « **Reply #46 on:** August 04, 2006, 02:25:59 pm »

Raw has become the DX and Spirit Squad show. It is terrible now. Even the "who knocked up Stephanie" jokes aren't funny anymore.

horseboy · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2006, 03:47:53 pm »

I think they are breaking up the Spirit Squad, though.

ChadTower · « **Reply #48 on:** August 04, 2006, 03:51:43 pm »

Who cares? They all suck enough that they shouldn't be on TV together or apart.

horseboy · « **Reply #49 on:** August 04, 2006, 03:58:44 pm »

Kenny can go a little bit.

ChadTower · « **Reply #50 on:** August 04, 2006, 04:03:36 pm »

But not enough.

Chad:

I'll agree with you to a point about Flair and Sting; there can be no doubt about how good Flair can make ANYONE look in a ring....even if the guy is awful.

I didn't know Sting was with TNA, but if all he's doing is chopping and kicking nowadays, I wish he would retire and leave his fans the true legacy he has - the days with NWA / WCW.

And while I'm here, might as well chime in - I like the "reformed" DX as well, but the Spirit Sqaud is the STUPIDEST thing Vince has ever done. Keep DX, get rid of SS!!

That's another "used to"... Flair is still wrestling full time and can barely move anymore. Guys are carrying him now. Guys like The Big Show are carrying him. That is just a tragedy.

When TNA got themselves their national contract they decided they needed "star power". That "star power" was guys like Sting, Scott Steiner, the Dudleys, the Old Age Outlaws, and worst of all Kevin Nash... basically, TNA is more like WCW Thunder now than anything else. Sting is being paid so much money that it is handcuffing TNA's ability to bring in new indy talent, and he's not providing anything more than entrances and promos. He can't or at least won't perform the way TNA guys are expected to, but since he's Sting, he gets away with it. In most matches he won't even do anything as difficult as a suplex.

The Spirit Squad was great as a short term heel group. Everyone insantly hated them. Then they stayed for several months. And Michaels needs to go away too. I don't know any intelligent fans that aren't way past sick of Shawn Michaels.

I guess I'm not quite as intelligent as I used to be - I still like Shawn.

You do make a good point though, and though I was holding Flair up in high regard, I was talking about the younger version. I wish Flair and some of the other old guys would back aside and make room for the fresh younger true talent that WWE is building up. Bobby Lashley seems to be the real deal, and like him or hate him, there is no doubting John Cena's ring ability. I said from the get go that Cena was the real deal and no one in my family bought that until he became champ; however, the first time Cena hit the ring to take on Kurt Angle and held his own in that match I knew the "kid" - if you will - was for real.

Of course, we must remember that this is the only thing some of these guys may know how to do, which is perform....which is also sad.

Please tell me you guys love Ken Kennedy. That guy is great.

Mr Kennedy!!!!

Kennedy!!!

Anyone watch the new ECW?? We dont get it yet in Canada (soon tho, starts on friday nite) I hear it isnt very good. Atleast Angle and RVD are back now.

ChadTower · « **Reply #57 on:** August 10, 2006, 04:03:28 pm »

It is awesome when they are in the Hammerstein. Even the terrible matches are great to watch there. During the recent Big Show / Batista match the crowd was so on the wrestlers that it was more fun to watch than the match. I almost wet my pants when the entire crowd was chanting CHANGE THE CHANNEL because the match sucked.

When they have the ECW show in the Smackdown arena, it sucks. Of course, it didn't help that they booked the entire ECW resurrection around someone they had to suspend for a month after he got arrested for possession.

He's back now, though.

Doesn't matter... the McMahons have always had problems with him dating back to the original ECW invasion of Raw when he came in with a real attitude problem and pissed off all the wrong people... so he gets very little slack at all. I was surprised they used him the way they did to relaunch ECW and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get booted again soon when he does something else stupid.
