Eric Bischoff BURIES Ring of Honor TV Deal
- Thread starter Justin
- Start date
they not worried about tag teams no more they dont put budget in that division no more theres barely tag tittle matches at ppvs. if anything they just only form teams to give the new guys tag belts then then split them up to go single thats why otunga and mcguiliycutty got the belts they will be dropping them soon and probaly go solo. look at the new hart foundation, gabriel slater.
There will never be another hardy boyz, edge christian, dudley boys bc them teams brought something to the wwe that was never there. before. Gen wouldnt bring nothing new to the business now. if vince was to hire GEN ME it would to be a squash jobber team they just dont have that big league appearence or vibe thats why they didnt get over in tna..

Who said it wasnt?
The only big chop battle that I have seen that went over a few minutes was Kobashi and Sasaki. Both of these men at that point had no knees from years of WRESTLING so they did what only they could do... beat the shit out of each other. The match went about 20 minutes with no slacking as apposed to a jeff hardy match where he works less and gets blown up in 10 minutes.

EPIC CHOP BATTLE FTW!!!!!!
I give praise to plenty of american talents and I do it frequently. You choose to think that all i talk about is japs and for whatever reason choose to believe that all they do is chop.
Fact is Hardys are high flyers.... there was high flyers before them.....there will be high flyers after them. TLC matches were cool but thats about it. They cant wrestle well and rely on highspots.
and thats........END OF STORY
