WWE News: Management Happy, RAW Talent Hoping Triple H Stays On SD, Adamle's Struggles
Posted by Ashish on 06.24.2008
More news coming out of the draft...
- Management was happy with how RAW came off last night.
- Some were upset however with the draft. Many on RAW are hoping Triple H doesn't end up back on the show. Many feel that if he stays off of RAW, it will open up opportunities for others on the show. Most figure that as long as Triple H is around, he will dominate the top storylines and keep people from advancing upward.
- Many of WWE's announcers had fun poking fun at Mike Adamle's struggles last night. Adamle's mistakes are not part of his character, they are legitimate mistakes that he keeps making and other announcers seem fine with pointing them out on air and backstage.

You know to be honest, I haven't watched Smackdown in a while and I just read spoilers but after some of the changes last night I decided to start dvring it again and watching it. So I guess the draft worked in my case as it's getting me to watch that show again.

Adamle = EPIC FAIL

That is true about HHH.
Posted By: Jigsaw (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 02:34 PM
ok, lets give Adamle a little slack..lol..his biggest problem is he doesnt act disgusted about what the performers do wrong, like hes not impressed with the destruction in the ring. Get more excited about what they are doing in the ring Adamle, and you will do much better announcing.

I think this same story was posted back in 2003. And 2004. 2005...2006. '07 and now '08.
Triple H is like the video game Madden NFL. Now matter how bad it may get, it's always going to stay around.

Moving Multiple Hs is the only true way to mix things up. I guess if it will stick or not depends on the priority of MyNetworkTVs Smackdown broadcast. I hope it sticks.

Gee I had no idea this was happening.

I fail to locate the problem in the Adamle situation. It makes the show a little bit more worth listening.
Poor Trips. It's not like it's his fault he's one of the few who manages to scrape together a reaction. Or is it?
Posted By: Burzum (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 02:46 PM
U know it's really bad when MANAGEMENT has to hope that a WRESTLER stays on a certain brand. They shouldn't have to HOPE,Triple H should be on SD now matter how much power he has because he got drafted, but hey none of that matters because he's the son of the boss.
Posted By: cj (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 02:47 PM
Now this is news. the raw roster finally speaks now the game is leaving and I agree with them, but since I tend to catch SD more then raw I kinda hate him on SD if he's gonna hog the spotlight given SD and ECW are where the new guys become stars.

The Mike Adamle stuff is hilarious
Posted By: Colin (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 02:52 PM
So Adamle really does suck at announcing and it's not a work?...Get Todd Grisham, get Corpella, get anybody! But please get Adamle away from TV microphones.
Posted By: Davis (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 02:58 PM
Umanga will now be known as the Samoan BullDog. 8D

Adamle is everybody's bitch
Posted By: JJ (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:05 PM
Triple H staying on smackdown is probably needed to make sure the Smackdown transfer to MyNetwork is somewhat successful.
Posted By: Sean (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:06 PM
man,i'm not a fan of mike adamle but they really just threw him clean into the fire, i mean he didn't really have a chance to develop as a WRESTLING commentator and he randomly got thrown on tv, not saying that's the main reason that he is bad but it is a reason
Posted By: cj (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:09 PM
i noticed that the announcer kept digging at adamle. cole even introduced the ecw team as "mike adamle and THE tazz." which drew a chuckle from tazz.
Posted By: rey (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:09 PM
edge will tell vickie to trade HHH because he'll feel insecure with another world champ around, especially a 12x one. i say hhh is traded for carlito and london/kendrick.
Posted By: jd (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:10 PM
So they're backing Carlito and decided to move Triple H. I see a main event push in Carlito's future!
Posted By: Jay-C (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:18 PM
I was convinced Taker would go to raw or HBK would go to smackdown, besides that I was pretty happy with the draft.
I think Adamle is so different that it can be entertaining just to hear what he says next. The guy seems legitamatly nice and takes it on the chin when people poke fun at him. I like him now, and I thought his little online skit with The Miz and Morrison was pretty funny.
Jam-akin me crazy!
Posted By: A.G. Awesome (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:22 PM
Just fire Mike Adamle already. There is no hope for him as an announcer
Posted By: Dwayne (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:27 PM
Adamle is no worse than mick is right now Adamle is so bad hes decent. hhh could be traded back for 3 or 4 wrestlers like when he got traded back for dudleys/booker a few years back. did hhh know in advance he was being traded?
Posted By: L I A M (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:32 PM
You all are suckers. Adamle's character is obviously a work, and I think it's hilarious.
Posted By: Reb (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:34 PM
For all of those Adamle haters; listen to some of Jim Ross's early announcing work.He was better than Adamle,but a far way from the great announcer that he is now.Give Adamle a year and then if he has not improved the E should cut him loose.
Posted By: fanboi13 (Registered) on June 24, 2008 at 03:39 PM
Instead of picking on Adamle last night, maybe the rest of the announce team should pull their fingers out and improve their own game. JR and the King have got so complacent they're equally as guilty of cocking up wrestlers names and situations. Foley is just plain lazy (anyone remember his slack attempt at announcing at one night stand?) and Michael Cole is about as dynamic as Dean Malenko on the mic (he really needs JBL to kick him up the ass again). Plus Tazz should think back about when he first started announcing and how bad he got slated, it wasn't that long ago he was tearing a path of lame over the mic.
Posted By: kliq316 (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:48 PM
whoa...what if Triple H pulls of a "You Know Who", cause of him not being pleased about getting drafted?!
same goes for jr..it looked as though he was about to go on a BBQ-rampage and get everyone all sticky and such...

Guess Paul Heyman turned out to be wrong when he said "Triple H didn't want to work on Tuesday"
Posted By: Kevin F. (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:49 PM
I can't believe how many of you think HHH will actually stay on Smackdown. He'll be there for a one night appearance to hype up Night of Champions and next Monday he'll be back on RAW.
He is way more entertaining than Cena and whether you like him or not he equals ratings!
Posted By: Ryder (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 03:54 PM
1) the blurb doesn't mention that MANAGEMENT hopes that HHH stays on Smackdown, cj.
2) car-fucking-lito main event push = the death of Raw, the WWE and professional wrestling on a global scale.
he has the heat of an ice floe, the charisma of a wild boar chewing on your leg, and the talent of a brick.
he needs to go back to the WWC where the sunstroked population of Puerto Rico are delirious enough to not know that he sucks the sweat off a dead lemurs ballsack.
Posted By: Darth Mortis (Registered) on June 24, 2008 at 03:59 PM
Every time Adamle screws up a wrestler's name they should let that wrestler give him their finisher.
Adamle is already owed a Swanton Bomb from Jeff Harvey and now he's gonna get a Samoan Spike from the Samoan Bulldog. Next the Tazz is gonna choke him out.
Posted By: Barack Says (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:04 PM
Was adamle a fan of wrestling before he was hired? Seems to me as though you should hire a guy who knows the product and has maybe worked in the industry. Does anyone think they would hire Lawler to announce NFL games? No, because he has never played football, he is a wrestler. I'm sure there are plenty of retired wrestlers who could use a job and would be 100 times better than Adamle. Hell, give Stevie Richards the job.
Posted By: DC (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:11 PM
Problem with Adamle is he has no idea of any backstories or history of wrestling, so he comes off like a douche.
Posted By: sylvano sousa (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:13 PM
I'm happy! WOOOOOO!

Posted By: anit critic (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:17 PM
The man who coined the term "The Samoan Bulldog" is laughing at us all because he makes $300,000 a year.
Posted By: IToldAdamleHeSucksInPerson (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:18 PM
So what points are you proving by keep tellin everyone how bad Adamle is?
You not think hes doing it on pursoe to keep his name out there now? Its the same as the whole Regal Umanga thing. u make one mistake but then carry on to laugh at the people who think they are laughing at you.
He should get a bonus for everytime his name gets mentioned on here lol
Posted By: DeadManWalking (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:35 PM
If any of you have mothers that lived in Kansas City '71-'72, New York '73-'74, or Chicago '75-'77....
.... Mike Adamle probablly fucked her.
Posted By: David Burcham (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:44 PM
Maybe I'll actually watch SmackDown now that Triple H is on it.
Posted By: Desolation (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:44 PM
Yeah, I agree with sylvano - He isn't a fan so he doesn't know how to react properly. He has no idea if this is something special or if it's happened 1000 times before.
Posted By: Frankie Williams (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 04:53 PM
"Adamle's mistakes are not part of his character, they are legitimate mistakes that he keeps making..."
I call bullshit.

No, but he did announce some XFL games...

man i was hping during the announcers draft we would get adamle drafted to raw and king go where eer casue cmon guys JR + Adamle= Many buys
Posted By: mazzacre (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 05:39 PM
cj - hate to tell you, but Triple H is part of management...whether people like it or not. The same thing happens in any business.
Posted By: cpbasil (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 05:48 PM
Last night I realized, I like Mike Adamle now, he's already become self-parody and as long as people make fun of him on air, he's way better than Coach and Cole.
Posted By: Jeremy (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 06:01 PM
"the blurb doesn't mention that MANAGEMENT hopes that HHH stays on
Smackdown, cj."
So who are the many on raw? I assumed management because the article started of talking about management, then said that some were upset, then said MANY on raw are hoping that he doesn't come back, i think some of those many people are apart of management
"hate to tell you, but Triple H is part of management...whether
people like it or not. The same thing happens in any business."
I guess i'm just going to have to accept that one but i just don't like it when wrestlers have that kind of power
Posted By: cj (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 06:24 PM
Epic fail comments= homorerotic
Posted By: to hell with the south (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 06:26 PM
Desopite the news to the contrary, I will hold steady in my belief that Mike Adamle, at least at this point, is playing the character of foolish broadcaster. He fuckin' mis-pronounced the word 'mischevious' last week. Twice! No way a professional broadcaster would make as many mistakes as that guy.
Posted By: Michael O (Registered) on June 24, 2008 at 07:17 PM
To the guy who said HHH = ratings. Please. No one guy equals ratings.
And ratings haven't been amazing since he got the title. So no he doesn't equal ratings. He's no different than anyone else. One guy isn't enough to build a show on...not even Hunter the Barbarian.
Posted By: Jerito (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 07:45 PM

Posted By: Darth Mortis (Registered) on June 24, 2008 at 03:59 PM
Why such hate for Carlito? Is it because your moms thighs are still suffering fro burns from his last trip to the command center?
Is Carlito's talent of a brick the same one he bricked in your moms mouth?
Posted By: Merv the Perv (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 08:02 PM
To Merv the Perv:
Wow, great comeback. Rather than trying to defend Carlito, go to the ol your mom stuff. Excellent.
Perhaps you missed the Carlito fan, who had a Carlito shirt on and his same hairstyle, clapping when he and Santino lost to Hardcore and Cody. If a fan who purposely looks like you and has your shirt on cheers against you, you suck.
Posted By: Matt (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 08:17 PM
Maybe its because I can read that I do. Mangement isnt hoping that HHH stays on smackdown. Its the other wrestlers. Refered to as talent in the news. You are correct. Management shouldnt hope anything. But the coworkers can. I excell at my job. I do what my boss asks. Im sure I have coworkers who dont like me. Anyways, read, then think, then post.
Posted By: Mi nto dsylexci (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 08:45 PM
I think most of the hate for Carlito comes from his comments about WWE/Triple H. You know some of these fanboys can't stand to hear anybody say anything bad about WWE
Posted By: TWilliams (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 09:39 PM
Again I will say it since the WWE marks don't have the balls. The lower RAW ratings go hand in hand with HHH being the champ. He belongs on Smackdown. Not that he is a bad performer. I think he will do very well there but at the expense of MVP, Jeff Hardy, Kennedy, etc. Meanwhile the RAW roster will truly become the "a" show

Interesting, I thought that most of the heat for Carlito was due to the fact that that he was a lazy worker (even to the point that Flair called him on it), has multiple times went whinning to management how unhappy that he is and is STILL earning a large sum of money from the people that he continues to complain about..
I can personally say that I watched Jake do better works than Carlito when he was 30mg deap in herroin.
I belive the words that I am looking for is Sand Bag..
Posted By: Allen Flange (Registered) on June 24, 2008 at 11:00 PM
Adamle knew he was dealing with a FAR different animal in pro wrestling. The other announcers are just hazing him, like any wrestler goes through.
Do we recall The Dudley's first match with the APA that became a shootfest?
Everyone that enters this business goes through his or her hazing. Tis all part of the game.
Speaking of H, SD can use another main eventer to re-engergize. I understand the Raw talent being relieved at the opening but even Trips knows change is a GOOD thing.
Posted By: CM Wolf (Guest) on June 24, 2008 at 11:54 PM
Hehehehe, Adamle is a dork. And serves him right if others, including Michael Fucking Cole, make fun of him on the air, if he still sucks so much at his job and can't get so many things straight.
EPIC FAIL!
Posted By: Guest#6365 (Guest) on June 25, 2008 at 04:18 AM
WWE could have me for 1/10th of Adamle's salary.
Posted By: Darren (Guest) on June 25, 2008 at 11:02 AM
