Do you ever think we will see a complete DX reunion someday? The videos the New Age Outlaws have been putting out show that Billy and X-pac are in great shape. And it appears that the Road Dogg has cleaned himself up from drugs and alcohol.
I think we could see them together again some day, like at the Hall of Fame. I guess it's possible we could see a cameo in the HHH-Nash scenario but I don't see them working as a group again. And you didn't mention Chyna. I don't see much of a chance that she comes back.
I watched the Scott Hall Story on ESPN. It is really sad to see wrestlers that I have grown up with and watched on tv or live and be in this bad of shape. I'm praying for Scott Hall and His Family and Friends. There are Pro Wrestlers who have actually had success and a good life after their wrestling careers were done. WWF/E Hall Of Famers Tito Santana and George"The Animal" Steele are examples. So are legends like Bruno Sammartino and Bob Backlund. Shouldn't ESPN show that there are wrestlers that have been successful outside the ring as well as inside of it?
The sad fact is that sad stories sell while happy ones don't. Hall's is most certainly sad.
So I'm watching a Raw review on The Score and they are showing the Main event from Mexico last week when it struck me; don't most people in Mexico speak Spanish? And wouldn't they therefore watch WWE programming featuring the Spanish announce team? I know it's just normal WWE logic but if I live in Mexico and I've spent up to 18 years waiting to attend a live Raw taping then I probably was not dreaming about a match featuring announcers from the other station, in the ring no less. Do you agree that this is the kind of stuff that makes casual observers snicker and change the channel? In my experiences it's hard to convince anybody to watch stuff like that and to give wrestling a chance.
I absolutely agree because last week a good chunk of them did just that as Raw went on. I am with you, WWE really screwed the fans in Mexico City with that show. Hell, they screwed those of us in the US with it too.
While watching Vengeance on Sunday I had a thought, wouldn't it be great if we were given the option as to which announce team we wanted to listen to. I would pick the Spanish Announce Team right now (even though I don't speak Spanish). I can't believe how bad the commentary has got, Michael Cole and Booker T spend all their time bickering (when Cole isn't ranting about JR) and Jerry Lawler hasn't a clue anymore. What has this form of commentary got to do with wrestling? It takes away from the action in ring. I always thought the commentary was supposed to add to the match not overshadow it. The mute button is being used more and more these days!
It is funny you say that, I have tied many times during a PPV to get the SAP and it never works. I totally agree with you on how bad the announcing is but Vince McMahon likes it as is, so we get stuck with what he thinks is good instead of getting what the people want.
If you would be so kind, could you settle a bet for me? I say that Alex Riley was a figment of our imagination and never actually existed. My friend says he was real but just hasn't been on t.v. for a while. Who's right? I mean come on! You expect me to believe that the WWE would give a performer a solid push that included several victories over one of their top stars who had just headlined Wrestlemania only to let him slip into oblivion and never do anything with him? GIVE ME A BREAK!
It's funny because I asked Stu the same thing last week. They pushed Riley so hard and he was starting to get over, then they pulled the plug on him. The company wonders why young stars don't get over. This is a good example of why.
