How the hell.....

Anyway, sounds like a great set, if not just for the vintage WWWF/Early 80's WWF stuff.

From a kayfabe standpoint, either the Crippler Crossface, Sharpshooter, or the Cross Faced Chicken Wing.

Legitimately, i'd say either the Crippler Crossface, Tazzmission, The Guillotine, Dragon Sleeper, Cattle Mutilation, Full Nelson, or Liontamer/Stronghold  would be the most the most effective.

He either needs to feud with a faction like Bookers Court or go heel. He is too strong and dominant to go one on one with just one guy that isnt a large guy.mrgab

Booker/Batista is definitely money match material, so why waste it prematurely? I say lay the groundwork and let it simmer over the Summer, and then let it go all the way at Summerslam through the Fall.

Turning Batista heel is the worst move for two reasons. One, Smackdown needs a top face. Mysterio's taking some time off, Benoit's out, Eddie's dead, and Taker's working half time, which leaves us with..... exactly, just Batista. Two, Batista would bomb as a heel. He doesn't have the personality or charisma to make it as a top heel on his own. Hell, let's be honest..... i don't think i'm the only who's surprised by the fact that Batista is still as over as he is.

And Kennedy's only 3 inches smaller with a nice build and loads of charisma, so i don't see how size differece is an issue. With the right manuevering, you can make size difference work to your advantage, anyway. Smackdown is in poor shape. New stars need to be given the rub, and Kennedy is the right man to get it first.

I enjoy RVD as much next wrestling fan...and dislike the mainstream media as much as next person, however, to say the media to blame for RVD's downfall...suspension, is nonsense. Sorry, but the only person to blame is RVD, and no one else. Granted, I think the situations is unfortunate...and while believe some of the anti-RVD folks are over-reaction bit, he certainly could have gotten worse, so see him as being lucky, if anything.

Hopefully, we will have learn lesson from this situation: keep from being caught by leaving marijuana at home, because lets be honest here...no amount of rehab is going to change his pot smoking ways...

Thank you!

Wow, just imagine what that could have done to RVD's career. He would basically get the Cena treatment for being the champ so long. I actually blame all the media outlets for ruining all this, because if they hadnt put the story out everywhere, WWE would keep it a secret and get RVD some help (which is basically the Randy Orton treatment). Lets just hope he gets back and wins the title again. Chicago_Nut

.... Or maybe it wouldn't have happened if RVD had been a professional while he was the **** world champion. I don't care if RVD smokes weed, that's his choice, and i doubt any rehab is going to change that. Putting himself in a position where he could be arrested for it was a conscious decision and unprofessional. I still can't believe people try to justify this. I don't blame Vince one bit if he doesn't ever give RVD the belt again. He had his chance and HE, no one else, blew it. End of story.

Wow. Good thing i never approach wrestlers after shows unless they walk past me...... :?

All this for someone who hasn't nor ever will draw a dime in his life. Not to mention the fact that they've continually buied him on TV, and destroyed any shred of a chance there may have been of him breaking out. Beyond all comprehension.

If it were someone like Hogan or Rock, it still wouldn't be right or fair, but at least understandable.
