rest in peace Ms. Elizabeth. ;_;
I heard WWE is taking huge losses after WM 19. rumors of massive roster cuts and combining the shows into one lineup again.
I've never watched wrestling... who's Miss Elizabeth??? Was she the one who would distract her partner's opponent by showing them her "puppies?" I only recognize a few male wrestler names and next to no female wrestler names. Sorry....
No. Elizabeth was a more "old school" (somewhat) manager, who wasn't realloy involved in WWF's downhill to stupidity as she was involved in WCW at the time.

I stopped watching U.S. wreslting during the downfall in WCW, since I never cared for the soap opera way of doing things, the nWo became boring (the splitting angle was waaaaaay too much), and they stopped pushing the cruiserweights. When reading the recaps on the internet is funnier than the watching the show itself, you know something is wrong.
A year after, I found out Mexican wrestling was being shown on cable, so I couldn't be happier (and I only watch CMLL; AAA tries to be a WWE wannabe). I will take Santo, Negro Casas, Olimpico and Mr. Niebla over WWE any day.

The whole Ms. Elizabeth thing is sad, sad, sad. RIP my dear.
I wasn't too excited about Luger coming to the WWE anyway. Boring as all heck, if you ask me.
As for the WWE, man you're all HATERS! The WWE really isn't any worse than it's ever been (it's definitely not as bad as the mid 90's). I think if the WWE was doing so bad, it wouldn't be picking up wrestlers left and right.
Rumors of the two shows being put back into one roster are false. In fact, the roster split is actually going to be expanded further. The WWE plans to have separate PPV's for Raw and SD! by this summer. That, and the fact that the WWE still has too many main eventers/high midcarders to fit into one show.
As for John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar, it's a little thing called "bringing in new talent". The WWE realizes (finally) that it can't rely on the same old wrestlers forever. And anyways, I'm hearing from most sources that the Cena/Lesnar match was awesome. I didn't see it myself (didn't have the money), but I have seen Cena's work as of late, and he's definitely deserving of the push he's getting.
Iron D=John Cena mark.
Iron D-itude fact 1: Iron D is convinced that ZamIam is his evil twin separated at birth.
Iron D-itude fact 2: Iron D is currently in "old school" mode; playing his Saturn and Nomad (Genesis) often.

I am not a WWE hater. I am just commenting that it wasn't as great as before. It is still good and entertaining, but something more, and much more still needs to be done. If a PPV is something you would normally see on Raw and SmackDown, if you keep seeing the same old things like Kurt Vs Benoit or Los Guerros vs Team Angle without anything speical, things are not just right. PPVs are supposed to be made up of better matches with steel cages, street fights, TLCs...
I have nothing against John Cena either. But they should have given him more meat as an aggressive wrestler long ago. Seems to me like they are giving him such a grand event only because smackdown stars like Kurt and Edge are on the long-term injury list.
I don't think WWE is having financial problems. They might be earning much less than they were before, but I think they are still doing fine...on the surface that is.

I can see where you're coming from, Beast, but you have to realize this: in gimmick matches (TLC's, Cage, HIAC, etc.) injuries happen a lot more often. Whenever a company books a gimmick match, their putting the wrestlers involved in a lot more risk than if they put them in a regular singles match.
Also, my personal opinion on repeated matches is that I don't mind too much if the repeated matches were good ones. I mean, look at Kurt vs. Benoit. Everytime these guys step in the ring together, you get a match of the year contender. And though I missed Los Guerreros vs. Team Angle at Backlash, I did see the title match on SD! back in February and it was pure gold. Besides, at Judgement Day you get Los Guerreros vs. Team Angle in a LADDER MATCH! Didn't you just say that you wanted to see more gimmick matches?

Apparently you don't remember Cena's huge push last year. It was before he got his rapper gimmick, and at one point he actually went over Chris Jericho. Cleanly. This was after being in the WWE for what...a month or two? If that isn't giving him meat as an aggressive wrestler I don't know what is.

Well add this to the the tradegies of wrestling. This one is indirect but still linked to wrestling.
from www.rajahwwf.com
"The Iron Sheik's twenty-deven-year-old daughter, Marissa Vaziri, was strangled to
death by her boyfriend over the weekend. Vaziri's boyfriend turned himself in to
police on Monday after seeking advice from his pastor regarding the situation.
Vaziri, who lived in Georgia, was the second female with wrestling connections to be
found dead of mysterious causes in the past week (Miss Elizabeth was the other). "
...now this is just getting scary.
On the news of UD, I couldn't be happier. Not that I've ever seen Ultimo in action, but I've heard nothing but good things about him (I heard he once squashed Rey Mysterio among other accomplishments), and it could also mean a further push for the cruiser division. Awesome stuff.
Oh, and the Intercontinental title's back, so we can all rejoice!
