Bring back the APA -- Always Pathetically Average

 

They did that momentarily earlier this year or late last year, right? I know it didn't last much longer than a month or so, because Simmons started doing his "DAMN" schtick soon after and JBL went back to his commentating role on SD.

 

I hope the blue font wasn't necessary for my previous post. The APA sucked. Hard.

 

loved the apa. great gimmick. great theme song.

 

yeah i loved the apa too. pretty badass gimmick. some of their skits were hilarious, especially with the mean street posse and crash holly.

 

False.

 

Some sites say Coach's contract expires in August, and given that he's not on air anymore, I'm taking that to mean he's done. If he shows up on TV at this point, it'll be because he signed a new contract.

 

From Meltzer:

WWE will be eliminating the Heat TV show within the next few weeks and move ECW to taping on Monday night and airing on Tuesday. The idea is that it would drive the ratings more to have Raw stars as guests.

At this point the plan is for Smackdown tapings to be a two hour show.

 

That's going to make that Smackdown/ECW talent sharing thing harder

 

Nah. They've been cross-breeding the brands too frequently for the past six months. This won't matter.

And in any case, they can say that the "agreement" expired and Estrada signed a new one with Raw. Everyone knows it's not a real agreement anyway.

 

Except Smackdown really needs the ECW talent more. Their last show had Chavo, Neely, Burke, Benjamin, Kingston and Nunzio. Take them and the other ECW folk like Kelly Kelly out, and they're hurting for names. They'll probably end up getting whatever Heat regulars they don't fire (Duggan-Crazy vs. Snitsky-Haas, anyone?) Unpretty.

 

I know the tag team division is pretty weak right now, but that tag match to end SD last night was great.

Kingston and Benjamin ... wow.
