HBK's Backstage Attitude, Guerrero's Title Reign; Backstage News Inside

[Don Carlito]

Despite his change in attitude since returning, many remain skeptical of Shawn Michaels and feel that he is using his new religious beliefs to get what he wants. Some feel he is using religion as a new way of manipulating people and situations to his favor.

Many backstage feel that the pressure of being WWE Champion is starting to get to Eddie Guerrero. With Smackdown house show attendance being low over the past few weeks, many are starting to take aim at where aim is usually placed, the WWE Champion. Some feel that Guerrero's deep blade job at Judgment Day is a sign that he is trying too hard. Of course, lets not forget about good ole' JBL in all of this as well.

I have noticed a change in HBK since his return. At the beginning, he seemed humble and caring, now he seems to be reverting somewhat back into the person he was in DX days. IMO it is not Eddie's fault that house show attendance is lacking, it is the creative team and the bookers. They are the ones who set up the matches for the house shows, as well as live events, so I personally don't think that Eddie should be held responsible.

well maybe its the start of a heel turn. well off course the house shows are gonna be low, geez all you have to do is watch smackdown and find out.

This feels the same as when Chris Jericho was Undisputed Champion. The storylines he was fed were so poor and despite his best efforts he couldn't turn it round. At that time he got blamed for low attendence and low buyrates and that was unfair. Anywhere posted the buyrate for Judgement Day yet??

I havn't seen it yet Blackstar, it should be out within a couple of days if it isn't already out. I don't think Eddie should be getting blamed for attendance drops in house shows either like Cleo Won said, it is the bookers fault because they are the ones who set up the lame cards for the house shows.

Face it, people vote with their wallets. People like Eddie and Jericho just aren't seen as "World Champs", by most non-Internet fans at this point whether you like it or not. They just aren't main-event draws. You can't just blame it all on the creative. If you do, you need to give them all credit when things are going great.

Does SD! suck right now? DEFINITELY! Is it Eddie's fault? No. But the fact that he probably isn't seen by the majority of fans as a great champ isn't doing him any favors. Eddie has very little to work with right now as far as possible feuds go, but thats the breaks.

At least Jericho had a lot of other stars around like Austin, HHH, Rock, etc.
I SHUDDER to think what would happen if Jericho was champ on SD! right now.

I dont think Eddie is to blame when Angle is not wrestling now,Brock left the WWE cause he thinks he could make it in the NFL,they traded Benoit to Raw and one of Eddie's feud right now is with JBL!!!!
