This guy is an amazing wrestler, and he is from St. Louis. I hate seeing things like this happen to such an amazing talent, especially a local one. (local for me anyway)

Did you see him last night? He's definitely one of the reasons to check out ECW. If he does end up out for 4 months it will be a huge loss for them.
 
Okay I just caught the GlamaHaas on Youtube.:rofl:

I do want to make another comment though. I think I kinda hate modern wrestling fans. Seriously, Honky Tonk Man and Goldust don't get huge pops. I know that they are not John Cena and Batista but they are legends and deserve the huge pop.

What a terrible time for Bourne to get hurt. Not that there's a good time to get hurt, but...you know.

IMO, he is one of the few wrestlers that people actually get excited to see. Now...I guess we'll just wait? :dunno:

i haven't seen him at all but i saw him vs Mysterio on Raw and i got really excited..I loved the "cruiserweights". that was the one reason i watched WCW back in the day. i didn't care about Hogan,the NWO,Bischoff,NWO black,NWO red,Sting in the rafters or the fans throwing garbage into the ring week in and week out after an NWO screw job. I WATCHED FOR THE CRUISERWEIGHTS!!!
Now he's hurt and it sucks. i was loving his match vs Rey

That was the only reason I watched WCW too. Well, that and JERICHOOOOOOO!!!

But, yeah...the WWE needs cruiserweight talent BADLY. Having Bourne, IMO, seemed to get the crowd excited for "those" type of matches again. Too bad he's hurt now. He would've been a great way to sell cruiserweights back to the crowd.

Does anyone else hate the term "WWE Universe" as much as I do? :mad:

I hate it, I hate it!!!

I also hate when wrestlers try and say "WWE" but end up saying just "WW". For example, if a wrestler is trying to say "the WWE Championship", they always say "the WW Championship", like they don't have the language skills to pronounce the "E" at all. Batista does that a lot and I hate it.
 
I hate all of the new terms that Vince McMahon seems to come up with. The wrestlers are no longer to be called "Wrestlers" or "Superstars", they have to be called "Entertainers" and the show is no longer "Sports Entertainment", it's just "Entertainment". This way the show doesn't get taxed like other sports and he can negotiate other deals with the cities that the WWE goes to.

That's really ignorant, I agree. It's scripted and everything, but come on. They go out there and throw each other around, there is at least some sport to it. Not exactly Disney on Ice here...

And how, in any way, does the term superstar make it sound like they are athletes? Calling them entertainers is the same as Vince coming out and saying "Yeah, our shit is fake." We all know it is, but don't actually admit it...
 
I was just curious. How long have some of you been wrestling fans? I personally go as far back as Bruno Sammartino. I remember when he lost the title to Superstar Billy Graham; who in turn lost to Bob Backlund.

I know this is a WWE thread, but I had to mention this. Take a listen at 1:09. Don West uses a racial slur. Pretty crazy stuff. I just discovered this from another forum.

Well, that sure is racist.

I think he saind something else, though. If he actually used that word there is no way no one would have heard about it. He'd be fired for sure.

Which wouldn't be a bad thing. He yells too much.

I don't know, man. It sure sounded like it to me.
 
I don't think it's all that clear what Don West said. I saw it last week on tv and didn't catch it and it could easily have been "neck" as well. Honestly though I wish they would replaced him with Mick Foley.

I still find it weird that Foley is in TNA. I guess it will take some getting used to.
