Who should go in 2008?

[Mexican Geek]

With the recent suspensions, firings, people quitting....(specially Flair and Booker) I was thinking....

Who should go away and make more room for the new generation? All this in 2008.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Shouldnt have to mention it, but just as a precaution: IF YOU JUST LIST PEOPLE WITHOUT MAKING ANY EXPLANATION, I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU'LL EITHER RECEIVE AN INFRACTION OR POSSIBLY GET BANNED BY THE STAFF, SO PLEASE, DONT DO "LISTING", is bad for you . THANK YOU**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hate to say it, but the first in my list is Kane. He is done, he will never be in a major role again, and maybe im wrong, but he is sentenced to be the main jobber on SD until his last day. Its a shame cause Kane deserved a long shot at the WHC and maybe have a decent reign.

Next on my list: Ric Flair. OMG, what is Flair doing these days? Moaning and bitching because maybe he was on a program with Kenny Dykstra? and maybe he conmplaint about it cause he was supposed to put Kenny over? WTF!!? Flair should be enjoying his last months as a professional WRESTLER, he shouldnt be working his ass after WM24; give the old man a match there and that's it. Sorry, I know he is a legend, but now, he is just a pathetic old fart.

HBK: Sadly, HBK shoulb be gone IMO. He is great in the ring, he actually work for putting people over (Cena - wm23) and basically, he has nothing left to do and prove. I see HBK in a amazing feud with either Shelton or Carlito this year and that's it for "The Showstoppa".

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan: Are f*cking kidding me? Duggan may had his glorious days, but please somebody tell him that those days are OVER. If they need a Jobber, why dont let some younger guys do the job? Why waste space with people like Hacksaw? Sorry, but thats MO.

Thats it.

Surprisingly, I think that people like The Undertaker, Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Balls Mahoney STILL have something to offer us. Specially Taker, I dont get it when people say that he is done. Have they watched WM23? He totally kicked ass, I thought I was watching a cruiserweight! Freaking 6'10 300+ pounder...FLYING over the TOP rope?? Undertaker can kick ass for 3 or 4 years IMO, yes, he is that good.
Same with Dreamer, but with a lesser role, ya know , Balls still can be the ECW jobber along with Stevie Richards.
And Sandman...well, have you heard that "Everything is preserved better in Alcohol" ?

 

[xjc260x]

i think ric flair will be going next year b/c i agree w/ u on one thing, he is old and he needs to move on, but having his last run be to get a guy over never mind just jobbin, but kenny dykstra come on thats low for flair the only 16 time world champion, i think they should do wat they did w/ lita and trish and thats let him retire a champion, in this case a world heavyweight champion, i mean y else would he go to smackdown, the show w/ the world title i mean come on does it have to be that obvious?

 

[fawad71]

well I agree that Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Ron Simmons and Ric should go, it is now time for others to come and prove thier worth.

 

[Agrex]

Kane: He should really hang up the boots, he's just not the Kane of old. Now he's slow, sluggish and boring to watch. His glory days are way overdue.

"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan: Wow he is a good decade and a half past his prime. I mean like Aerandir said, it's better to get someone younger to do the jobbing, not some old many killing his legendary career. How long can you run around with a 2x4 screaming "HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO".

Ric Flair: This guy should be happy that he has a spot on the active roster still, but he's still complaining. He's retiring in like 7 months, just suck it up and go on. I'm not gonna even talk about his current ring skills.

Mark Henry: I can't believe WWE resigned him, he cannot wrestle and has bad mic skills. The only reason he's still around is because Vince is horny for the big guys. He should really consider retiring from wrestling.

 

[tom b]

i would like to respond to steve austin's speech to the wrestlers about stepping up..."hey steve, it is kind of hard to step up when wrestlers that should go are in the way to step up (sound familar stunning steve, mr hollywood blonde...)

with that as the case it is time for these wrestlers to go in'08:

Hacksaw- 1989 called, they want you back (your not even that good)

The Great Khali- mic skills=no, in-ring ability= no, big oaf =yes talent=no

bobby lashley- see Great Khali

finally...the big one

Triple H- Game over, the biggest obstacle in the way of wrestlers, he cannot get the job done anymore he is like Hogan, should be used for a one time thing, he has run through his gimmicks, time for a change HHHis a part of that great attitude era, now it is time for a new era..an era of talent (CM PUNK, Shelton, MVP, The Hardys, Edge, man this is hard they have a big roster with no talent...Masters anyone

 

[LipstickAndBruises]

totally agree with Mark Henry, he spends more time on the injured list than he is active anyway. So it really won't be that big of a deal. Besides anyone who compaires themselves to a gorilla just really needs to not be given an open mic.

Ric Flair. I love you Ric but its time to go. Youre about 134 years old. You no longer look good or wrestle well. IMO he's tarnishing his rep by staying so long. You don't wanna get younger stars over? Scoop up your jax and get off the playground entirely or take a managerial only role.

Balls Mahoney. He's not being used right, that its self is not his fault....that he continues with it bitching and not doing anything is. Contract stuff obviously, blah blah blah...but I hope he doesnt resign whenever his deal is up. Same goes for Val Venis.

Definately not go totally but any divas who westle embarrassingly badly need to be rerouted to managerial / eye candy roles only. Example...I adore Maria...shes pretty, plays her character very well but I hate seeing her wrestle because she is not a wrestler. Let the womans division be only women wrestlers. Not every diva has to be competing for the womens title.

And "The Boogeyman" needs to go, his gimmick is so 1985 its actually painful to watch / be aware of.

EDIT. One more. The Miz. No, just no no no. He's not working out well. Hello...Xpac heat. Yeah. Celebs who come to wrestling rarely (never?) end up catching on. He got started in reality tv so maybe he's like 50% celebrity but still...

 

[Mad Metal]

One name I'm dieing to see go is Balls Mahoney. I admit he does have charisma, however IMHO he just sucks as an awful wrestler. Like I said, just because you're an ECW Original doesn't mean you're "all that".

The Boogeyman has no true future in the WWE. Just a time killer that's annoying.

Ric Flair is way past his prime. We need to make room for the newer stars that will eventually carry the future of the WWE.

Mark Henry was never a star power nor ever was a great performer. Alright I got a little kick out of him in 1999 with some of the comedy skits he did but that was all.

Jim Duggan is past his prime as well. Like Jesse Ventura said, he isn't a good wrestler.

Val Venis isn't really doing anything and the "Ladies Man" gimmick is nearly 10 years old. Due to his dedication and being a good worker, I would rather see him as a road agent or helping out with the writing.

Since Taka Michinoku left and the death of Kaientai, Funaki became piratically a nobody. No reason to keep him.

Bob Holly isn't going anywhere either in the promotion. Just used for the "dirty work" or to do favors.

I understand Vickie Guerrero needs a good paying job to support herself and her family since the death of Eddie Guerrero, however I can't stand her as a on-air character.

If they're not going to use Shannon Moore, release him already. He isn't a draw that will do any good for the WWE. It's just costing money for the WWE to pay a wrestler that's most likely doing nothing but sitting at home partying with some friends.

Big Daddy V needs to go as well. He won't get over with the crowd. Haven't wee seen him more than enough for the past 15 years????

 

[michiganj24]

The McMahons. Although i dont mind an occasional appearnce to hype something or for a short fued but the last thing the WWE needs is Vince wrestling HHH, HBK, John Cena or anyone else. Shane can put on a good match and I would actually love to see a match of him versus Rey. Stepahnine uhhhh. Voice like fingernails on a chalkboard. please keep her off. Linda well she stays off so good for her.

Kane without the mask he just dosent have that soemthing. I always wished they had doen and angel where he got reburned and put the mask back on. Sorry but the creepy bald freak look dosnet really scare me (this goes for you too Snitsky)

Chris Masters do I need to say anything more. i just hope he fails his next drug test and is gone.

 

[whezz37]

Ok this could be a pretty long list at the minute due to my opinion that WWE should streamline and go back to a one set of storylines and all superstars on different shows and getting rid of the split and interbranding.

Hacksaw-I love the guy and he gets a great reaction from the crowd but like Vince said on Raw he's old enough to be Vince's father. I reckon keep him along with the company in a Ron Simmons role and just use him for random spots.

Santino-Mainly because I can't see what they are going to do with his character unless they bring back the FBI again lol.

Snitsky-They try and use the scary big man image yet there are several bigger than him and scarier. The recent gimmick of him having bad teeth and acne hasn't worked either so i Can't see how to use him. In a similar situation to Tomko when he was in WWE, there's just not much you can do with him.

Super Crazy-Unless they use him in Cruiserweight or the tag division he is wasted in my opinion. He's great to fill the card on Heat but thats about it.

Chuck Palumbo-This gimmick just isn't working for me, its been done before, for years we've had biker gimmicks, its nothing new and he just doesn't get the crowd going for him to be in the title picture and I can't see him being used as a jobber either. Just a lingerrer who they don't know how to use.

Mark Henry-Just not good enough unless they rebrand him in a tag team with d'lo in a new nation of domination style tag team when D'lo returns.

Most of the ECW roster-I know that ECW is there as a breeding ground for new talent but can you really see The Miz, Kevin Thorn or Balls likely WWE title holders and lined up for greatest, I'm dubious myself. I'd love to see ECW become hardcore again and then it would have a use but thats not gunna happen either.

I reckon that Kane and Khali should be kept around as there is always room for the big scary guy in wrestling. I think Kane needs to be made terrifying again and Khali needs to be more destructive not just sqeeze people's heads.

 

[Bobby B]

Triple H- Game over, the biggest obstacle in the way of wrestlers, he cannot get the job done anymore he is like Hogan, should be used for a one time thing, he has run through his gimmicks, time for a change HHHis a part of that great attitude era, now it is time for a new era..an era of talent (CM PUNK, Shelton, MVP, The Hardys, Edge, man this is hard they have a big roster with no talent...Masters anyone

Triple H can't go. With Undertaker very likely to be leaving , and HBK's career slowing down , HHH would be the only big star. If he went aswell , it'd be left to the likes of Edge , Cena , Batista and Mysterio to move the company forward. And they aren't big enough characters to do that.

 

[CWAHLBERG]

How can anyone put Undertaker, HBK or Triple H on this list, are you crazy. Some of them may not be in their prime, but can still put on an awesome show, reference WM this past yr.. Undertaker carried Batista thru that match, thats the best Batista has ever looked, and HBK/Cena was great. These guys are still headliners, stop being soo freekin' critical. The guys that need to go in my opinion are as follows:

Flair-give him a great send off, at WM maybe, let him retire with some dignity. He is way too old.

Hacksaw-pleeease, he is ancient, and has no act..

Val Venis-His act is ridiculous!!

Ballz Mahoney-He is just terrible, and I find it hard to believe he has much of a following...

Let Triple H, Edge, Undertaker, Orton and maybe Morrison be the main headliners, create some new fueds between them, and bring back Jericho and maybe Sid!!!

 

[relik]

(Future outlook) Psycho Sid- I hope Sid doesn't come back, I didn't care for him when he was younger, so why would care now that he's older?

Mark Henry- Maybe he was over with the crowd for like a day with his sexual chocolate gimmick but everything else he's done is get injured return with a big push and get injured again. Maybe if he was a good wrestler I wouldn't mind so much but I can't say one good thing about him in a wrestling ring.

Flair- You're way too old to continue. It's getting so bad that in some of his matches in the last year when he gets thrown into a corner the man can't even run into it. He's just ruining his legacy by staying in the ring.

Hacksaw- See everyone's reason cuz mine are the same

Khali- Utterly useless, just like Mark Henry

Kenny- He'll never get over as a face or heel with the crowd.

Santino- HAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHA, what a joke. He's doing a better job as a heel, but he still doesn't have a finisher nor is he impressive in the ring.

The Miz- Go back to MTV where you're wanted!

 

[chief]

Ok here is my list....

From Raw, say goodbye to.....

Daivari - Why is he on Raw? He is a cruiserweight, I like his mic skills, he can really piss off a crowd, but unless he is on Smackdown in the Cruiserweight division there isn't much point keeping him around

The Highlanders - Again, send them back to OVW and give them a real Gimmick, even turn them Irish and bring them back as Finlays henchmen, haha. A Fighting Irish stable? haha

Hacksaw - I remember the day he found his 2x4, thats a sign that he's been around WAY too long.

Snitsky - Not on ECW long enough, but it wasn't his fault.

Val Venis - As a character its done, but make him a Road Agent or developmental trainer.

Super Crazy - Unless he's on Smackdown its pointless.


From Smackdown say goodbye to...

Dave Taylor - Since Regal moved to Raw then he's not needed, or at least bring back Paul Birchill and make them a team.

Funaki - Give him a backstage job.

Kenny Dykstra - Personally, I thought the Spirit Squad were funny and he did stand out from the group, the whole strength in numbers thing made it more credible when he won, now when he wins it looks wrong, also, now he is on his own he looks lost, maybe send him to ECW and give him constructive air time, as only ECW does anymore.

Mark Henry - ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz

Shannon Moore - Whats his gimmick today? what will it be tomorrow?

Ric Flair - Hopefully, will retire winning the WHC at WM24, Turn Batista heel and have Batista be the WHC, then have a big fued up to WM24 with Flair emerging victorious! and them retiring as champion.


And from ECW say goodbye to....

The Extreme Expose - Yes, its eye candy, but thats not what ECW should be, it should be nice, short, but exciting matches.

The Miz - Go back to that Reality TV channel, MTV.

Mike Knox - Won't win over any fans anytime soon.

Nunzio - Have him train people somewhere.


And last but not least.....

That FAT OILY PRICK who pops up from time to time.

I know he is a writer, but come on man, stick to writing.


As for people who wanted the Boogeyman gone, I think they should try him out as a heel, and make him really demonic. Keep the all black eyes, Simplify the paint a bit to how it used to be, but really use him as a heel. I think it could work.

 

[eddieuk]

I cant wait to see Khali go he is a terrible wrestler and extremly boring I have stopped watching smackdown since he won the title because I cant watch it when Khali is on. Same goes for mark henry wish WWE would open their eyes and see just how bad these guys are. They get no heat from the crowd the matches stink no one cares about them.

On Raw I think Jim Duggan should go. Maybe he could become a trainer or something but as an in ring performer he is just to old.

 

[ACTAFOOL]

well i think that the ppl who should go are ppl who take up air time but either suck or are usless, many of u, or all of u said hacksaw, but hell he shows up like once a month for less then 5 min... would it really matter if he went?

for me it would be like this, from Raw:

Daivari - stop having him job in 5 min matches, its just stupid, either make him manager again or send him to ECW and see what hes got or just let him go

Snitsky - also just sucks, i mean the guy isnt over at all, hasnt had a match passed 10 min, and we really dont need anymore monsters

Super crazy - though i never really see him on raw anymore =/.. but i wish he would go to ECW maybe, or just leave with snitsky and daivari

santino - just boring, WWE doesnt even know what to do with him right now... fire him already!

from SD!

Batista - hes already old and hes probably the most boring guy to watch after khali, hes botchy, bad mic skills, and way too slow, bye bye batista...

khali - hes just sooo horrible, he cant sell at allll, this guy cant even pull off a bad match, its always just horrible

ric flair - do i really need to say why? he doesnt wanna put guys over so just go man

Finlay - hes still good but id rather he go to OVW and help train the younger guys, i feel hes taking time up from matt or mvp

from ECW:

the miz - GO BACK TO MTVVV geez...

big daddy V - i dont really think hes that bad but im tired of monsters, WWE has cashed in way too much on monsters this year, let me see some real talent

mike knox - hes just not over, hes not good as face or heel and he isnt anything special in ring, soo bye bye

balls - he really cant wrestle for shit anymore, or maybe its cuz we dont have hardcore matches? but hes just way too horrible nowadays

thorn - same thing as knox...

 

[wilmo1985]

I totally agree with the last comment, to get rid of Triple HHH would be suicidal to Raw and the WWE! I dont think that the likes of Cena and Batista arnt big enough. I do really like Orton and Punk but I think the next big Star could be Kennedy as he has the mic skills and the wrestling ability to succed in the WWE.

 

[Rokitka]

I'm just waiting for Y 2 Jake to come through and own the kids in this thread..

You don't release somebody because they're "not over" when you have a brand like ECW...only a selected few are over on ECW. And whoever asks "What is Ric Flair doing anymore" is obviously under the age of 12, granted, he's past his prime, but his mic skills to this day are still better than every newcomer in the WWE. As for who should leave next year? I'll agree Duggan could hang up the boots. The first ever RR winner deserves better than a jobber slot and that's obviously not going to happen in WWE. As for guys like Taker, Kane, Why would they? "Because they took off Kane's mask and he's slow now." He was never that good of a wrestler..just becuase you like him with a mask on his face doesn't mean he should leave the company. And Taker seems to be winding down now, but I think he'll stick around for a few more years, with a lighter schdule.

 

[Hart>HBK]

Hacksaw Jim Duggan - I think that this guy is just damaging his career by sticking around and he is also not allowing younger guys to come up. He takes up room on Heat facing jobbers and every match he is in is probably to worst of the night. This guys should just retire cause the only reason I see that he is sticking around is for the money.
Snitsky - I think that they should repackage Snitsky and give him one last try because right now nobody cares about him. He definitely isn't the greatest wrestler and he doesn't look that scary, just really ugly. I think this guy deserves one last chance with a new gimmick and then if that doesn't work, see ya.
Kenny Dykstra - Kenny is a good talent and he can wrestle well too, however he doesn't really have a gimmick. I think that they need to give him a true gimmick that he can build on to contend for the mid card titles instead of him jobbing to Chuck Palumbo and wearing plain black tights. I don't know why he's wearing those, he definitely isn't a Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Mike Knox - Same as Kenny Dykstra since Knox also has pretty good talent but just needs to have the right gimmick.
Ric Flair - I believe that Flair should have his retirement at Wrestlemania 24 for the World Heavyweight Championship. Giving him a "Rocky Balboa" type of storyline where he competes for one more reign. I think that a perfect opponent would be Booker since his King gimmick gets him over as a heel and both Flair and Booker were big parts of WCW and they would be competing for the World Heavyweight Championship which has the same lineage. I think that Flair should win the Rumble and then the title at Mania then after that, SD could have a tournament to crown a new champ. This would be a great way for Flair to go out and this feud would be pretty ironic since both Flair and Booker reportedly quit this week.

 

[magic]

The Miz, just The Miz, they can keep everyone else as long as they get rid of him, the thought of him makes me cringe and his gimmick is so dumb but it does makes sense as he's from the RTV(what i call MTV as they no longer play music) and that network is all about the posers, i mean look at him, dumb mohawk, check, stupid jean shorts, check and hat that people who listen to ska wear not the pop punk guys, check.

 

[AnthonyMango/NoFate007]

Ric Flair - I respect the guy for his legacy, but I have to admit, I don't see what the big fuss is about. All I've ever seen Ric Flair do, for the most part, is chop someone in the chest. He's gotten old and he can't beat time itself, so he needs to gracefully bow out at Wrestlemania 24 like he was planning. Hopefully he'll have one last match then and that will be it.

Hacksaw - Again, he's just far too old and can't move around the ring well enough for you to keep him on the roster. I don't know if he would serve any other purpose backstage, possibly just to keep morale up, but his wrestling days are far over. He's a fun guy to see every so often, cause he's Hacksaw and his "hoooooooooo!!!" is as fun as Flair's "WOO!!", but he can't put on a match to save his life anymore.

Great Khali - Which brings us to the guy who hasn't been able to put on a match...ever....lol. Khali is as bland in every way as rice cakes. He can barely freaking walk, can't speak English, and isn't over with the crowd. Get rid of him. He's a HUGE waste of money, time, and space.

Vickie Guerrero & Armando Estrada - Good lord is she annoying. Just get rid of her, please. I'm not a fan of Teddy Long but compared to VG he's a breath of fresh air. Armando is annoying as well because he's just a fill-in and a cliche. How can he get away with that terrible fake accent? I say get rid of Teddy Long, Guerrero, AND Estrada, move Coach over to Smackdown and put Flair as the GM of ECW.

Snitsky - Snooze. You're not threatening, you're not talented, you're not scary, you're not fun, you're nothing. I'm not going to mark out for you just because you have ugly teeth. Snitsky is one of the most worthless people on any of the 3 rosters right now.

Highlanders - Is there a point to these guys? They never get on the mic, they never have a good match, they're not over, they're not entertaining, and they're not special in any way. They might as well go back to OVW because they're offering nothing to the fans, the company, or themselves where they are now.

Domino & Cherry - While I do think Deuce has the potential to push himself forward, he needs to get rid of these two monkeys on his back first. Domino isn't anything impressive and Cherry is a paycheck they don't need to be sending out.

Trevor Murdoch - Ugh. Why does McMahon like the "monster" and the "fat slob with no talent" wrestlers out there? Murdoch is holding Cade back.

Lillian Garcia - I'm sorry but I miss my old wrestling announcers that actually sounded like they gave a damn about the match. Lillian just has a shrill and boring voice to me. Its a shame they can't get Fink back full time.

Dave Taylor - Does this guy even exist anymore? I haven't seen him a single time since I've started watching WWE again.

Joey Styles & Tazz - My GOD these guys are the most annoying commentators they've ever had. Styles is like a cracked out kid with ADHD and Tazz is the ******ed friend. All Styles ever does is get overly excited about the simplest things ("OH MY GOD! DID YOU SEE THAT?! HE JUST WALKED TOWARDS THE RING!!!") and Tazz just befuddles himself over the easiest words in the English language and then chuckles to himself ("I-I-I-ah heh!"). Its a shame that the show that has the worst roster, the bleakest design, and the least motivation also has the worst commentators. If I had it my way, I'd get rid of ECW and just send the good guys like CM Punk, John Morrison, Burke, etc over to other programs where it'll mean something. That way you can fire Styles and Tazz and they can't say it was personal lol.

HONORABLE MENTION:
Some people are pretty much useless, but should be kept around just to fill out the holes. Balls Mahoney, Nunzio, Funaki, etc. While I don't see...and highly never want to see...Miz ever running for a belt, he's more impressive than the over-the-hill guys so you might as well keep him around as a jobber. No matter what, you do always need jobbers, so why not keep someone who's young and doesn't know better so you can keep him around for a long time and pay him a small amount of money? Haha.

 

[Papa Shango]

Hacksaw- his matches are unwatchable, the few that he has. He just says USA! and HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! and Clotheslines people. He's embarrassing to watch. If Dean Malenko is only a road agent, then Hacksaw should only be an agent.

Chris Masters- Sooner or later he WILL be fired. He's not gonna clean up, and he's gonna fail his third drug test and then GOOD RIDDANCE!!

Mark F***ing Henry- The tub o' goo can't move without hurting either himself or someone else.

Charlie Haas- Holds Shelton Benjamin back. Granted, Shelton hasn't always shown great focus, but at least he can serve a purpose. Charlie Haas is as entertaining as The Miz is over. Which brings me to...

The Miz- The ONLY person on ECW I would fire. He's boring. He's got no fanbase, he doesn't get any reaction other than GO AWAY from most of the males in the crowd. He's the new X-Pac, except I think the crowd would rather see X-pac. And what's with the hat? Is he trying to go for a Justin Timberlake gimmick? If he starts using Sexyback as entrance music, I'm gonna stuff him in a turkey and feed him to Big Daddy V.

I'm tired, I'm done for now. I might post more names later. Bye-bye.
Excelsior!

 

[toth88]

My top 3

Big Daddy V:

all he can do is slap people around with his huge manboobs he's old, fat, and unentertaining.

The Miz:

Boring, Lame, incredibly annoying catchphrase, the dude is a triple threat in suck.

and last but certainly not least in everything but talent and charisma.

Khail: (or as I call him Andre lite)

Khali may in fact be the worst in ring performer of his generation. Not since Giant Gonzales have we seen a performer of this suckitude. PLEASE GO AWAY, you could always get a job as a stunt double for Bigfoot if this doesn't work out Khali.

 

[dashthestanpeat]

To the people who say Flair should go because he refuses to put guys over:

Give me a fucking break. They planned from the get go to have him put someone over. It didn't become a problem until they presented the concept in such a way that he wouldn't be putting someone over clean. From what I've understood, the plan would have made Flair go out looking like a bitch, and I can't blame him one bit for leaving under those circumstances. Imagine you'd been in the business for 2 decades. You'd won the title 16 times. And then when it comes time to retire, they want to do it in a way that would diminish what you've accomplished and make you look bad. I don't know about any of you, but I'd be pretty damn pissed off. But some people are okay with being made to look like a bitch.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Okay, like I normally do, I'll list the people I believe would be best to go in 2008. (And, of course, reasons why)

RAW:

The Highlanders, Rory & Robbie: Ever since their first debut promos of roaming through trash cans in New York, neither one of these two got over. The closest they came to Tag Team gold, even in the lack-luster division that is.. was when they still lost, to the Spirit Squad. If you wanna weed out the guys with terrible gimmicks & possibly no talent (cause I haven't seen anything great yet) then these two are top on the list.

Santino Marella: I kinda hate to say it, cause his promos as a heel are getting better.. but his M.M.A. fighting style just isn't doing it for me, in the wrestling business. Does anyone else remember Daniel Puder & always plugging U.F.C.? The only thing keeping Marella on the roster right now is the fact that the fans truly dispise this guy & he gets more heat then some of the bigger heels. (I suppose thats a good thing, huh)

'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan: I'm sorry, legend or not he didn't impress me in his prime & that was almost 2 decades ago. Its nice to keep legends & vets on your roster, but thats what guys like Taker & H.B.K. are for.. & they can still go.

Smackdown!:

The Great Khali: World Heavyweight Champion or not, hes got less talent that Hornswoggle.. I'm sorry, okay, if any Khali fans take offense.. I'm sorry, but he's just there due to his size.. & noone cares anymore. Just get him off t.v. I thought we were done with him way back after Taker beat his ass in a Last Man Standing match.. unfortunately, I was wrong.

Chris Masters: He's been given chance after chance to gain my approval & attention, & he still has that lame ass Masterlock. Not to mention that dumbass challenge. Okay, I get in real life a full-nelson is durable.. but in the world of entertainment, I don't wanna see you hold onto someone, fake-ly, without applying real pressure.. & just swinging them around. Find a real finisher & get off the Lex Luger gimmick. (cause it was moderately fair with him, & you ain't him)

Dave Taylor: He was brought in to team with William Regal, & it would've been nice to see them as Tag Team Champions.. but Regal is on Raw, once again in a non-wrestling role.. & Taylor is stuck in a hole on SD! only getting the younger guys over. I got news for you, in today's generation, near as I can see & tell.. seeing cruiserweights, or younger talent go over an older has-been, or never-was.. isn't all that impressing.

Ric Flair: I honestly don't wanna add him to the list, I like Ric Flair.. I want the Horsemen back, but it probably won't happen. Furthermore, Ric Flair hasn't had a true storyline since Evolution & the feud with Triple H. (no, Carlito/Flair wasn't a storyline to me) Give him one last shot of glory, let him beat Khali & win the Championship, or hold it for a night, week, month.. then let him retire on top.. not jobbing to guys that'll probably make the '09 list of "Who Should Go?"

E.C.W.:

Boogeyman: He's it on this brand, his gimmick is stale & even worse off than what a lot of people see John Cena's as being. Whats worse, Boogeyman, how ever many people that've played the role, all don't have talent. He is a waste of space, that could be used to showcase good talent. And yes, I truly do think The Miz is a lot better than Boogeyman, talent-wise.. I'd even wanna watch him in a match, over Boogey.

Close Calls:

Snitsky: Steve Austin is a rarity that can sell the plain black trunks. For a guy who debuted as a jobber to Kane, who took out Lita's devil child.. he hasn't really done a lot since proclaiming to not being the jobber he was debuted as. I'll give him a chance with his current monster gimmick, but quit selling your damn teeth.. I don't see D.D.P. around anymore, so apparently it didn't work then, either.

Big Daddy V: I'll forever want him to stay, as the big man in Pro Wrestling.. as long as he puts a damn shirt on. I love him as a dominate monster, cause "I" literally believe it. Not discounting his flabby man-boobs, look at how evil he is in the face. If I was alone with this guy in real life & for whatever reason I pissed him off.. I seriously think I'd piss myself.

Jimmy Yang: Quit with the damn gimmick, he's a great talent thats being slowly killed by a terrible, lame-ass gimmick. I don't care what you put his gimmick as, but return him to the Yakuza type character he once was with Tajiri. Hell, bring back Tajiri & put them as a team.

Matt Striker: I haven't truly seen anything good outta him since he debuted against Kurt Angle, over & over again. But the truth is, he must have talent, cause they keep him on the roster. Maybe its a hidden talent, cause he truly hasn't been able to showcase his ability to win.. that is, without major interference. I don't give him a solid year, but at least 4-6 monthes to make a difference.

Val Venis: I barely liked him as a wrestler in 1998, the gimmick worked for him.. but his talent just was lack-luster to me. I'll give him another year, just because hes aging yet still looking the same in the ring, which means if he learns (if he can) more, & updates or improves his gimmick.. he'd be a top contender (again) for the Intercontinental Championship.

 

[bioshock]

kane - for one hes getting old, for 2 he's got to be sick of being the worlds biggest jobber to the wwe. if he was in tna he'd be champ within a month. wwe mis-ueses him. but imo i think kane kinda sux. or at least has since he lost his mask.

khali - i just dont think he last for ever

hbk - hes still one of the best, but i bet he just gives it up.

undertaker - i figure he's done after wm24 when he maybe loses to edge?

snitsky - hes getting old, ya both his age and gimmick, im shocked he's even still around, but then again vince loves tall crappy *wrestlers* ala kane lol.
