That and WCW had a hard time creating its own stars, they had a hit with goldberg but he was more flash than substance.

They created alot of midcarders that had decent recognition by the time they got to wwe but for the most part they relied on the regocnition of the former wwe stars.


And lets not forget David Arquette as the WcW champion.

you do realize overeem got busted for growth hormone right?

i believe that cost him his shot at the belt

but back on topic i will say im suprised dana white allowed wwe to mention brocks ufc title victory seeing as he always states he dosent want the 2 put into the same mold

OK!!!
But this is why Lesnar left UFC...







And lost me as a FAN!!
If he loves beating up people so much why not stay in UFC??
it's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ if he just admits it then maybe he would have some credibility back!!

and with Overeem...

All problems that WWE have today, their midcard is even worse than WCW heyday though.

In modern day wrestling I think its near impossible to maintain that high level of being over for at least a year.

CM Punk was hot for about 3months max, this thing with Jericho is really killing him and if Albert and Bore Rio are his next feuds its not going to get any better for him.

WWE's got a decent midcard they just dont utulize them right and puts them in 3 minute squash matches with king hippo.

CM just needs to go on another rant and he will be hot again, thats just the way the fickle fanbases are now.

CM Punk was hot because he was speaking out candidly against the company. As soon as that went away, so did the interest, even though the sheep still feverishly chant his name in arenas.

The mid card has some real talent (Kofi, Ziggler, etc.), but the way they're booked, nobody gives a damn. They would rather put all their eggs in bad gimmick baskets like Brodus King Hippo.

I dont think they have, you have Satino,BigShow and maybe Rhodes, Ziggler is going backwards being stuck with Swagger who is just so awful now and Vickie, WWE are going to pull the trigger on Ziggler when its too late.

Then you have Rtruth and Miz who are just in limbo and I wouldnt be surprised to see them gone soon.

Thats all there is really and the no name jobbers from NXT/Superstars.

Another rant by CM Punk wont work, it ony works when you havent seen it in ages, like Nexus, you couldnt do another invasion and have it be as big.

I just remember when CM Punk did his promo people his fans mostly were calling him the new stone cold and its a new era, of course like always I knew it would last 2months tops and I was right, I cant for the life of me see how they are thinking of putting him in a match with stone cold, that would just finish him off, plus I wouldn't waste a stone cold return match on punk tbh.

Dont know about that vid Tazz sorry.

Brodus is just the new version of king kong bundy and that type of superfat wrestler.

He will never be anything more than a novelty act.
