Hardy Boyz reunion? Could be interesting.

Nothing Jeff Hardy has ever done was the least bit interesting. Hopefully the sloppy bitch gets hit by a train before this can happen.

Diary of Violence - 7/8/06

July 8, 2006
TO ALL ECW FANS:
I TAKE IT UPON MYSELF TO APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK.
I CANNOT TRULY EXPRESS MY FEELINGS.
I AM ANGRY, PISSED OFF AND TOTALLY FRUSTRATED ABOUT WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEEING IN ECW.
I NEED TO SIT BACK AND DIGEST ALL OF THIS.
IF I WRITE ABOUT WHAT IS IN MY HEAD, MY COLUMN WILL PROBABLY NO LONGER EXIST.
SORRY.

I think that Tommy thought that this would be "ECW", not just the 3rd brand in the extension. So now he is all frustrated at reality. This is just the 3rd WWE brand with ECW as the name on the marque. I guess he is seeing the writing on the wall. In the Observer this week Dave is supposed to have a huge article about things behind the scenes.
You know, the theory I'm about to propose probably would have worked a lot better when the top ECW guy had both belts and his name wasn't mud, but why the hell can't these ECW alums go to Vince en masse and say, "This is shit. In order for ECW to have ANY credibility, you need us. So listen to us and do things our way"? Seriously, who's gonna watch "ECW" if it's just Mike Knox, Kelly, the Big Show and Test? Also, **** Joey Styles and Paul Heyman. Just because.

Because they wouldn't have jobs.
They also signed contracts.

ECW used to be about wrestling, now it's about "ENTERTAINMENT"
The reason why the Attitude era worked was because it had awesome matches.... and the entertainment was sugar-coating.
Vince has to go back to the root of wrestling... but he won't cause he just wants wrestling to be like it was in the 80's and it won't work like that anymore. Well for me it won't.

This weeks edition of "Tommy's Thoughts" is most probably a work to set up a feud between him and Show/Heyman in the coming weeks..
...also he has no right to call himself the "Innovator of Violence" anymore.

That is what I was thinking after I posted it. Setting up Dreamer vs Show. But why would I need to see that after Show has kicked his ass repeatedly?

I guess they're going for the old school vs New school ECW.... but quite frankly, Big show just sucks.

Well that the feud that made Dreamer the big name he is (was?) was Raven kicking his ass for 2 whole years... of course things are never done that well anymore. Even Paul himself would not be able to put togeather something of that quality these days.
...I am guessing this BigShow/Dreamer stuff is Vince is trying to recreate that feud again. (and failing)

If you notice Cena in that match seemed alot cleaner with some of this moves, not to mention he had some nice move he doesn't do anymore.

FINALLY....THE ROB....has come back to NeoGAF...
Digging? It's on the front page of most news sites. Yeah, you're a regular Sherlock... If ya smell what The Rob is cookin'.
The Rob would like to apologize to all his fans here at NeoGAF for missing last Monday, so I've decided to make a special appearance for my fans here on Friday Night Smackdown!

Do we care about you? Or should we?
Christopher said:
...and just who in the blue hell are you?
Should The Rob care about you? Stick to starting threads and let The Rob handle the commentary because he is "The People's Poster."
Mr. Kennedy is going to be the next Randy Orton at this rate...I dub thee Mr. Rest hold.

And your attempt at a response is quite stupid.
The Rob came here to just lend his opinion, like you, but you people like to jump on The Rob in hopes that some of my greatness rubs off on you.
Shard = Joke Account
The most entertaining thing about Smackdown! tonight is seeing the commercial for NSMB, even though The Rob has seen it about a million times.

Keyser Soze said:
First of all, The Rob came in here to simply talk about Smackdown! It is you people who are seeking attention by jumping on The Rob. The Rob is simply defending himself against a bunch of half wits begging for The Rob's attention.
Secondly, they should have just kept Rico as the feminine comic relief on Smackdown! rather than replace him with Perry Saturn 2.0.
Thirdly, The Rob is enjoying JBL's commentary.
the_geche said:
Colorful opinions and flame bait, apparently.
Nameless said:
Yeah, then you'd be killing Smackdown! even more. Leave the man where he's at and work on improving the brand. That is the smart thing to do. Besides, I'd rather see Booker pushed to the main event on Smackdown! instead of seeing him lost in the mid cards on the DX Show.
Nameless said:
Do you honestly believe that Booker would be getting a world title shot on Raw? Especially with Edge and Randy Orton as top heels? Even if they did put him in the title hunt, do you really think they'd make him look credible against John Cena?
ColdBlooded33 said:
Good thing you're not.
Watching Smackdown for the first time since its been moved to fridays. Three quick thoughts right off the bat
1. Why isnt Matt Hardy getting more of a push? The crowd loves him.
2. King Booker has a pretty good angle going on. BUT the music is ****ing worthless. I want his old music back. CAN YOU DIG IT? SUCKA! Complete with his dance (spinaroonie right?)
3. JBL ****ing sucks at everything. he sucks at commentating as well
