If anything, forum junkies would be more open-minded to the idea of a new version of GN'R. And I think to an extent people gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time, but he has pissed away every bit of respect people might have had for this new band. It's now a cover band of a cover band of a cover band.
Yeah, I never had a real issue with him keeping the name. At least around the early part of the decade it seemed that he wanted to try something new (ie rebuild the GNR brand/name). I was actually pretty stoked at the prospect of new/different music coming from Axl at that time.

Yeah's he fucked on this one. Don't perform and he's gets bashed by mainstream media and most of his fan base. Perform and he gets hit with a storm of reunion talk.

NY Jets extended Sanchez and gave him 27 million in guaranteed cash. I don't get that one. They must have needed the cap space BAD.

So true and what's worse is when they do cut a promo not only are they awesome at it they make the current roster look so fucking terrible.
I never really saw John Morriosn cut a promo at leats nothing memorable but that's a guy who I thought always had the look to be a new version of HBK. never panned out obviously.
I also think they totally fucked up Jericho's return. It started off good and then fell totally flat.
Morrison's problem was that he gave the cold shoulder to Trish (a Vince favorite) at WM last year and he pretty much got jobbed out.
And yeah, I prefered the 2008 version of Jericho to this one.
This WM card actually looks pretty good with CM Punk vs Jericho, HHH-Undertaker, and Cena-Rock, and Sheamus-Daniel Bryan.
Unfortunately, half of those guys will be gone after this one and the WWE will be up shit creek. Although Rock will be wrestling at Wrestlemania 29.
#1195 Re: The Garden » The Wrestling thread » 765 weeks ago
The one new/current guy I could see them involving here would be Dolph Ziggler. He's one of the few guys who can wrestle and cut a promo (aside from CM Punk). Hell they might as well bring back Ric Flair for a mouthpiece role while they are at it.
Kane is basically a jobber (to the upper card stars) at this point. Jericho is gone for a Fozzy tour in the summer.
It's a sad state on the roster when 3 of the best promo guys are retired/part time wrestlers (HHH, HBK, The Rock).

Like clockwork Daniel Synder throws away draft picks. They are going to go hog wild in FA now. I think they have a couple of extra picks this year from trades (4th for Campbell and 5th for Fat Haynesworth).
Cleveland will be really screwed if someone else signs Flynn. I can't see them taking Tannehill at #4.
Nice bounty for Fisher. Let's see if he demonstrates better personnel skills in STL than TEN.

Nash and HBK are both retired. Nash could actually come back as an on air character though, unfortunately he'd probably have to be a mouthpiece for one of the bland stars the WWE is pushing.
My favorite HBK moment of the past few years was in 2005 when he did the heel turn on Hogan and produced this funny ass parody of Hogan just before their match at SummerSlam.
#1198 Re: The Garden » The Wrestling thread » 765 weeks ago
The whole Triple H vs Undertaler + HBK storyline is fucking great! I have no idea how this is gonna play out. There's a lot of scenarios that could play out here.
the only way I see them tarnishing Taker's record is with a total screw job thanks to HBK. Anyways this is the best lead up they've had in YEARS. Totally overshadowing the Rock vs Cena thing in my opinion.
I've read somewhere where Undertaker had surgery and feels like he can do a once a year Wrestlemania match for the next few years.
If that is the case, there is no way he loses this match to HHH. I could see the streak broken by Cena though.
Oh yeah, since this is going to be Hell in a Cell there had better be some juice flowing in that matchup. None of this PG bs.
Sting should just sign with the WWE and face Undertaker next year. He isn't getting any younger at all and he's wasting away his last few matches for a shitty TNA organization.
#1199 Re: Guns N' Roses » Surprised label isnt capitalizing on rrhof » 765 weeks ago
If they are going to release (or remaster) any old stuff, I want a bluray release of the Ritz concert or any 87-90 live performance that hasn't been previously released.

Cut day in Indy:
Melvin Bullitt, Gary Brackett, Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai and Curtis Painter were all released.
Bullitt should get a lot of play in the FA market. Under 30 and there is a weak group of safeties. He did miss 14 games last year with injury though. Brackett will probably sign with a 4-3 team as a cover 2 LB. Clark still has some value even if his play has dropped off.
Addai is injured a lot and Painter sort of useless. They're also open to trading Dwight Freeney. They should let him negotiate a new contract with the trading club. He's getting paid 14 million this year. No team will take him on with that salary.
Brandon Jacobs also got cut today from the Giants.
And in Manning watch. Today he visited the Broncos. Tomorrow he will be visiting the Cards.
