Yep, time to bring on the DX sig.

Hah, that is a pretty good sig I must say

Yours looked a bit lonely before, but now it's taking shape nicely.

Not here, it's Monday morning for SS.

I'd be sad to see Jeff go. Watching him on the mic each weak is pretty funny

He is really, really bad.. :eek:

Its tomorrow morningish for us. Not sure what time ppvs are anymore as I haven't watched one live since march 2008 but they usually start at around 1-3am.

Tute · 23 Aug 2009 at 10:00

I believe PPVs are normally 1am-4am Monday mornings.

I must say, I was a little suprised by the whole Hardy/Punk storyline. Now, don't get me wrong, Punk makes a great heel, but considering the whole child friendly no sex/drugs/rock&roll stance by the WWE, having the crowd cheer for drug abuse and booing the 'just say no' idea seems a bit silly

Thing is, who's he going to feud with now Jeff's leaving? Matt? Edge won't be back this soon, I don't think.

Tute · 23 Aug 2009 at 11:39

Undertaker is lined up to feud with Punk IIRC. Plus Edge is bound to want a piece of the WHC when he returns, although admittedly that's a fair way off.

Good to see 'Taker will be back in the title picture though.

Tute · 23 Aug 2009 at 15:41

Is it wrong that I can't wait for SS?

I really believe they have something huge lined up for tonight, like dousing Legacy in slime or manure, and i'm just wondering if 'Taker will make an unscheduled appearance in some capacity.

It's not SS, it's SF ... SummerFest

And we've been getting hints of something "major", maybe not only from DX but also from Morrison & Matt.
DX HAVE to do something after the beat down they got on RAW, they have never before been scripted to simply "shrug" it off without getting payback - think back to when Bischoff screwed them at Cyber Sunday - they stuck his head up Big Slim Johnsons butt on RAW the next day.

I do not think DX will slime Legacy, WWE does not want to bury Legacy - but I do see them doing something - perhaps DX making Orton lose the belt, or DX getting DQed but beating down Legacy with weapons and whatnot.

Would you honestly want something like that?

If anything, I'd like to see HBK super kick HHH just for shock and impact.

Nah, they'll milk the DX bandwagon before they do something like that.

Do you actually like wrestling or are you being ridiculous?

Jeff Hardy is over rated. Terrible on the mic, terrible in ring skills. I just don't get what people see in him. Matt Hardy is such the better talent out of the two.

I actually agree, always prefered Matt out of the two.

Time for some summerfest "get you in the mood" pictures

I've been into wrestling for 10 years. I am just saying what would be more entertaining. If DX are back for the long run, its going to be pg jokes and what not. You won't be seeing stuff from 1997/1998 that they did. Its just going to be dumb just like in 2006. All they did in 06 was promote merchandise. It was lame. Also, since HBK "found god," HHH has to do most of the gags.

DX are dead, they're only doing this for ratings since they are at an all time low in ratings.

Plenty of people feel that any DX is better than no DX at all - most of the stuff that DX say is actually not written by WWE creative but done by HHH and HBK themselves - so it is an improvement over the recent programming.
It might be PG DX, but at least it is funny unlike whatever promo Orton and Cena deliver (Cena is a big supporter of the whole PG thing) - it might not be as "wild" as Attitude era DX, but then again the '06 DX wasn't that bad - I still like to watch my DX DVD to see their best antics (and I've watched WCW/WWF since about 98/99ish).

Oh god they are at it already.

rypt · 24 Aug 2009 at 01:03

AWESOME START

Tute · 24 Aug 2009 at 01:05

Good, get midget and slimeface out of the way first.

Looks good in HD btw.

dante6491 · 24 Aug 2009 at 01:06

So they are starting the show off with the jumping frog. Things can only get better from here tbh. Let me guess, three moves to win it for Mysterio.

JR said it best. Mysterio needed to hit a couple of big moves together (at the Noc). That is because he only has three moves...
