The WWE Society II

Wonder if Edge wearing a Cesaro t-shirt will boost his merch value.

What's everybody's thoughts on Cesaro and Kidd partnering up? Good to see Kidd getting a shot on the main roster week in, week out imo. Even if it is as part of a wayward tag-team.

You said Undertaker can have a retirement match because he had a pseudo one in his Triple H match billed as 'An End Of An Era'. Yet he wrestled two WrestleManias and with The Shield after that.

Also, what's the point in having a retirement stipulation if the wrestler's already 99% retired, might want to wrestle again, and has nothing to defend? Why not have Austin vs Goldberg in a hair vs hair match while you're at it?

End of an era wasn't meant to be a retirement match for Taker. I think what they meant by 'end of an era' was that it will be the last time that HBK, Hunter and Taker would be in a ring at the same time.

We cant just assume hes 99% retired. Do you think Taker would want a match where he has something to at least win for and if not he can say his farewell?

He works one day a year. If that's not 99% retired, it's 364/365th retired.

If Taker has a match, he has somethingto win for: the match. Also his reputation since he lost the last one, they can do a "he hasn't got it any more" angle. They can also do a rematch with Brock, since this is the Rematch Era. Brock goes out on his back, Taker gets a fitting final farewell (#3859).

I don't think it had a meaning. Triple H still wrestled, as did Taker, and HBK had already retired. I think it was just a tagline, and the insinuations of retirement or semi-retirement brought in the money.

Regardless, I was talking about in the context of his meaning.

I'll be surprised if the Network does that great, considering the mess up with the release last time and it hasn't done brilliantly in the States

In other news, Sky Box Office PPV price to go to £19.95.

Great episode. Man, the tag division was bursting with talent back then.

Edge/Christian, The Hardy Boyz, The Dudley Boyz, APA, Too Cool, Right to Censor, The New Age Outlaws, The Radicalz, T & A, Kai-En-Tai.

Nowadays we've got Los Matadores and Slater Gator.

Got big hopes for Cesaro and Kidd, and The Usos are great, but Goldust/Stardust and The Miz/Mizdow are obviously breaking up soon. It's woeful in terms of depth.

I like Gold/Star dust and the Usos. But the usos are just another tag team who work well together, they coma and go.

Like i said, that was the era of new beginnings so everything was really amazing but now were used toe everything and every match type so its same old same old for us (except the storylines at times).

In other news i got WM30 in the post today :smile:

The gimmick worked at first, but now they are just treading water since they dropped the belts until Cody turns on Goldust and the pair battle at WM31 for Goldust's retirement match.
