LOL! Oh man, that should be good. Hopefully he's taking on Sid because the trash talking would be out of this world.

Ya, it's Owens vs Sid. I want to see Sid win cause he'll do:

Re: WWE Off-Topic

I'm with you guys, if Austin were to have that one last match and go all Stone Cold crazy stunning people left and right i'd mark out like a little kid all over again. Watching his WWEcast and listening to his audio podcast from time to time you really get the feeling that he wants to have proper closure. There's no better venue, opponent and time than now against Brock in Dallas. It'd be the perfect way to end his career but only if he goes over and i'm not sure that can be done considering the egos involved behind the scenes.

Yeah he has to go over, there is no way you don't end the show with Austin in the middle of the ring crushing Steveweisers

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Austin loves the business and is as passionate about it as anyone. I don't think he'd accept going over. I think he would know it's best for the business if he comes in and puts someone over strong, and he'd be happy to do it.

I'm not sure that would be best for business no matter who he fights. I can't think of a single wrestler out that I would want Austin to lose or that anyone would be cheering when it was over.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

If he were to wrestle one more match, I can't see it being against anyone other than HHH, Brock, The Rock, Cena, and maybe Undertaker. I don't see him going against anyone that isn't a huge name

I honestly can't see it going any other way than this.

Yep. He knows he should have done it in 2003.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Let's do a Scramble Retirement match at WM 32. Undertaker, Kane, Sting, Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Final match for all competitors.

Right. And they all get counted out, resulting in a mass retirement, lol.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Only multi man retirement match I'd wanna see is Taker vs Kane or Sting. Would be a cool moment to see post match at WM, fans applauding both superstars who just competed in their final match. Like have it announced beforehand(or make it indirectly obvious) that it's their final match or something.


But don't know if Kane makes it that far. I wouldn't mind this upcoming HIAC match to be his last. Have his career end at the same match type he made his debut in. Like have HHH/Steph mad that he's trying to portray 2 diff people, so make him decide which Kane he wants to be. If he wins at HIAC, the demon Kane lives. If he loses, demon Kane is dead.

Ironically enough, Kane did debut not only at a Hell in a Cell match, but also at the October 1997 pay per view.

Amazing that 18 years later he's still Kane and Undertaker is on the card too.

That's just a testament to two dudes who love what they do.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

I was looking at my FB page and came across a BR article that listed 10 realistic to increase the ratings on Raw. The ratings are hovering around a 2.4. Now to save time I would like your guys top 5 ideas on how to realistically improve the ratings on Raw. And by this I mean things like cut back on air time, new champion, TV title, etc. And NOT things like bring back Punk/Angle/, etc.

Now for my 5:

• Drop the PG format go to something like TV 14
• Some sort of TV title or US Open challenges with the title changing hands every now and then
• Brand Split and draft (which requires 2 World titles).
• Go back to 2 hours and if you want the 3rd hour put on a preview of some Network stuff (to promote that)
• Give us more factions. Something like the Corporation, DX, Ministry type thing. And you can keep the "factions" you already have in the Authority, Wyatt family, and Reigns/Ambrose.

Re: WWE Off-Topic

Really, just improve the quality of the writing. Even hit shows on big networks prove that if quality declines,people slowly stop watching.

In WWEs case, I think people overreact to ratings abit. Sure,ratings aren't what they used to be,but really, what show is like ones 10-15 years ago?

Top 5-10 shows on broadcast TV were around 20-25M viewers shows. Now, top show on TV is around 16-18M. Cause there are so many more channels on TV today,along with so many more diff ways to watch stuff.

Something like Raw, you can go ahead and just watch it days later,compared to other shows or more specifically sports,where you might not really be able to watch it later cause it'll get spoiled by the next day most likely(either on tv if it's sports,or just talking with friends about it,if it's a tv show).

Look at when they did Raw1000, was HUGE ratings. Lots of people will watch, if Raw becomes "can't miss tv" again. Even me, I watch Raw every week but even I wouldn't think to watch it live. I watch it on DVR delay so I can just skip whatever I want. I don't even see it as "can't miss tv",I just pick and choose what I want to see.

Exactly this. They don't have to do a whole lot to improve the quality of what we're seeing with the current product.

I feel like in terms of in ring ability this is the beat group they've had in a long time. The issue is that they put on the same 6 man tag matches and same matches every Raw and Smackdown.

They have no clue how to go about creating good feuds. Every Bray feud is started with him appearing randomly and taking out a competitor. They need to improve writing and make it so you want to see it each week and not just read a recap somewhere.
