I'll believe Taker's gone when he doesn't appear for a few years. This last run will be his last run until he decides the fans need the nostalgic Biker Taker return.
And, in hindsight, Hogan didn't pass the torch to Dingbat. He let him hold it for him while he took a nap. And then he took it back as quick as he could.
He didn't even let him hold it. He totally played it up at that WrestleMania like "Look at me - Look at what *I'M* doing! Look at me pass the torch!" It was the same thing he did with Rock a couple years ago. It wasn't about Warrior beating Hogan. It was about Hogan losing to Warrior. Just like it wasn't about The Rock beating Hogan. It was about Hogan losing to The Rock.
Undertaker's not that good, though, he'll just stuff everyone in a casket and pull it out of the arena on his motorcycle. Deadman Riding! :) | CRZ

After hearing and reading Warrior's delusional rants the past decade, he has earned the name Dingbat. That, and of course the sub-moronic angle he helped book in WCW. Actually, he should have earned the name Patient at Insane Asylum by now. Plus, it helps remind me of the good old days of WCCW when he was facing the evil communist Crusher Yurkov and Saba Simba, led by Larry Sharpe.
Latest news out of Hollywood is that Sid Eudy was offered the role of Jesus in The Passion. Unfortunately, that fell through due to Sid's continued insistence that he be crucified under the title: King of the Squirrels. | Big Bad

He's gotten more than his fair share from him, he's been put over almost EVERYONE on the roster, he's done ONE high-profile one-on-one job that could even be construed as anywhere NEAR clean (last month) in his ENTIRE WWE career.
You think the loss to Eddie was clean? I guess I must've imagined that Goldberg spear.
Brock lost cleanly to Kurt Angle at Summerslam.
Waitif its MLK Jr. Day AND Pat Pattersons Birthdaywho gets the token win here?-- Matt "Excalibur05" Hocking on a match between Mark Henry and Rico
MH: Whats a clever way to say that I have a penis?
CJ: UhMark, nobodys going to buy that shirt.
MH: How about if I say that Ive gotauh?
CJ: Coming up with T-Shirt ideas is hard Mark, why not leave it to the WWE marketing department.
MH: I know! Ive got it!
CJ: Got what?
MH: Stank! Thats Mah Stank! Im gonna make a fortune!!
CJ: Thats Mah Stank?
MH: On the front itll say Can You Smell It? and on the back itll say Thats Mah Stank. Everybodyll buy it because theyll think its a Rock shirt.
CJ: You knowyou might be on to something there, sad to say.
MH: I cant wait to show mah stank to Trish.
You know, I have a feeling that Spanky didnt quit, he was fired. Why? So they could repackage Mark Henry as Stanky. Think about THAT!

This is a match that could easily headline a nonWrestlemania show. If booked properly could've headlined Mania.
For a match that should be really easy to push this is really burried in both the build and advertisement.

He freaking tapped out at Summerslam *and* lost the fall clean to Angle the month before at Vengeance.

Okay, three losses. To two guys who need it. And one in a triple threat match, which never gets looked upon as detrimental because there's an outside factor involved. And as BB said, the Eddie loss wasn't 100% clean (Goldberg spear, DDT on the belt). Point is, main-eventers do jobs to other main-eventers. Hell, it'd be more understandable if Brock was kicking up a stink over jobbing to Cena. I wouldn't AGREs, but at least there'd be reasoning there.

| #49 Posted on 9.3.04 0708.56 | Instant Rating: 7.84 | I was just pointing out other (and more clean) clean losses from Lesnar. Those are the only ones though, as far as I remember.
But it's not like the company's future SHOULD be out there jobbing to everybody. That's just common sense. Particularly, he shouldn't be losing to Undertaker, and there's no excuse with Undertaker having lost plenty to him, because at this point, that's what Undertaker should have been doing.
Not that I really disagree with you for the most part, though.

| #50 Posted on 9.3.04 0843.08 | Instant Rating: 6.79 | In Brock's first year of the company, 2002-2003, he lost via pinfall only to the Big Show and one very dirty loss to Kurt Angle. That's two.
In Brock's second year of the company, 2003-2004, he lost to Kurt Angle, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit (in a tag match, but beaten nonetheless), and Eddie Guerrero. That's four.
Four is bigger than two. Thus, he was losing more often.
Also, Brock's two losses in his first year came well after the 6-month point of that year. Brock's losses in his second year were more spread out, spanning from Summer till February.
The second-year losses all happened on Pay-Per-View, which is more significant than a loss on UPN, because PPVs are hyped for weeks ON television. And the televised matches on SMACKDOWN! are usually thrown together every week to build TO the PPV matches, as was the case with Angle-Brock before WrestleMania XIX.
And, again, the WrestleMania match was more important than the TV match, and Brock's loss to the Big Show at Survivor Series, because WMXIX was where Brock established himself as the true champion after the Angle/Show/Lesnar fiasco. That's where that crappy storyline came to a head.
Brock has done nothing to really indicate that he is the future of WWE except be young. If anything, he's the present.

Well, that's pretty debatable. He's also really good and getting continually better. And young, yes.

Another Smackdown performer tells 1Wrestling.com, "it's pretty hard to feel sorry for somebody who is in the spot he's in and who is making the money he's making. He knew what he was getting into when he came here, and now he can't take the pressure. Too bad. Poor Brock."
Ouch, it's gettin' nasty.
Unless, of course, 1w is making all this up :)
