    Well then give them an HBO comedy hour or something cuz they do nothing but waste TV time for people who can still go in the ring.

    As for "The Rock" name I thought Vince had already given it to him. Which was what Stone Cold wanted too but didnt get. If he hasnt by all means do. Whatever will keep him off TV. Unless he's gonna take it seriously and re-learn to wrestle and not cut 25 minute promos.

    Oh and if you want to see the Rock just watch an old show. His promo's have scarcely changed since 99.

        Good riddance, Rock. He was always horrible anyway. Can't wrestle, says the same damn things over and over. He's only good for the 14 year olds.

            None of them really wrestle at all so how can't he wrestle?

            If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

                The thing is the 1/4 that is wasted by The Rock talking is usually wasted by either diva search, or HHH, Flair, Orton, Bischoff etc talking.

                    yeah, good riddance to the man that put the next generation of the WWF on the map!!! Are you crazy? Without this guy there wouldn't be as great a popularity for the sport. The Rock WAS WWF when he was there and his carisma not only in the ring but on the mic was one of the greatest performances of all time. I look at WWF (not WWE, I REFUSE to call it that) now and I dont' know whether to take a nap or vomit. Wrestling has gotten so terrible now and there isn't enough entertainment value to make me watch it. And I'm getting so sick and tired of this RAW vs. Smackdown crap. GET THESE DANG HASBENS OUT OF THE WWF AND MERGE THE ROSTERS BACK!!! The Rock has had the same importance to the business as Hulk Hogan had to the WWF of the past. Rocks' gone, Austin's gone, Undertaker is the American Fatass Deadman with no drip of semblance to the Undertaker of old, Big Show is gaining so much weight he can't even perform a wrestling move, mic skits are terrible, there's braw and panties matches everynight now, the women wrestlers don't even wrestle, Triple H knows two moves (Pedigree & punch). There's just too much sex appeal and not enough actual wrestling. I say they just put TNA on Spike TV and cancel the WWF.

                        Well I agree with the first part. But Spike hardly has the power to just cancel the WWE. Plus they need Vince alot more than Vince needs them.

                        The thing is the 1/4 that is wasted by The Rock talking is usually wasted by either diva search, or HHH, Flair, Orton, Bischoff etc talking.
                        Sad but true I'd still like to see them cancel Heat and make Raw 3 hours and just have the matches that would have been on heat populate the whole first hour.

                            Damn, sven. I think I'm about to agree with you about something. Hell must be about to freeze over...

                            This is BRILLIANT! Why not? WCW Monday Nitro was 3 hours long and for at least 82 consecutive weeks, it didn't hurt the product at all. It allowed TV time for the likes of Juventud Guerrera, La Parka, a young up and coming Chris Benoit, and a guy who would later be referred to as Latino Heat. I love that idea!

                            Heat really does have solid matches! I mean, it doesn't make much sense for WWE to dedicate so much TV time on Monday Night to plug the debut of Simon Dean, then bury him onto a weekly spot on Heat. If Raw were 3 hours long, we'd be able to see a Simon Dean vs. Rosey feud fully play out.

                            Of course, knowing WWE, if they did add a 3rd hour to RAW, it would just mean we'd get another 20 or 30 minutes of Hunter Hearst McMahon's incoherant rambling.

                                You are wrong there. There are some guys who can actually wrestle such as Benoit, Jericho, Angle, Guerrero to name a few. I wish WWE would concentrate more on the matches an not so much the fluff that goes on around it. I understand you need to have storylines but not a 25 minute HHH rant every show. Do enough talking to advance storylines and let the stories play out in the ring.
