Cmpunk well gd. Cart belive that fireing gd old JR. I been wanting him bk for ages then triple h brings him back and now he fired. John sucks!

Re: WWE
In fairness he's "only" a GM which means there are higher powers above him. Had be been replaced by Johnny Ace then yes that would have been "same old".
I'm liking what I'm seeing in Mason Ryan. He's still pretty green but the potential is there, he has an awesome look and he's well over already. Plus I'm enjoying Wales finally getting a mention on Raw :D |
Re: WWE
He did seem to make quite a mess of whatever he was trying to do last night though. I can probably see him being on the face team at Survivor Series vs. Ziggler's team should that be what the match is.
|
Re: WWE
He wasn't too bad, he just took Ziggler to the wrong corner. Silly error but that's why he keeps being put in tag teams, to iron out things like that. I can see Vince having big things planned for him.

Re: WWE
I hope this isn't too off topic.
We all know that in the WWE Universe you should never try what you see on RAW and Smackdown at home, or anywhere else. The first WWF show I watched via SKY was Wrestle Mania VI .... Hogan Vs. Warrior. There was no such warnings about copying the superstars back then. Can you remember the first wrestling move you tried on a friend, family members etc. Alternatively can you remember the first move you received? I was 11 at school and whilst my teacher left the classroom my friend grabbed me and gave me the "Perfect Plex". This was the suplex come pin used by the late great Mr. Perfect. It was on a tiled floor which hurt like a mother sucker. I actually cried and grassed him up to the teacher. |
Re: WWE
Smackdown sure do love their Battle Royals.
Was hoping Zack Ryder would luck into a win then challenge Ziggler for the US title. Was happy to see him eliminate Ziggler (completely over looked by the commentators) but alas, wasn't to be. Him then inserting himself into a tag match against Ziggler and Swagger though made up for it. So that's 1 singles pin, 2 tag team pins, and a Battle Royal elimination he has on Ziggler. They've got a nice feud building on his youtube show as well. I'd say it was building up to a title shot at vengeance, but they're more likely to give Ziggler and Swagger a tag shot. There's no doubt in my mind Ryder will be carrying a title by the years end though, and all thanks to youtube. I'm hoping Beth pretty much squashing K2 will be the end of that, they seem to have been fighting twice a week for the past few months. Oh and what a surprise that Orton had to go over in the Battle Royal, did not see that coming at all. He's perfected his Cena style reboot as well, getting destroyed all match then suddenly when Big Show comes to clear the ring he's up and fighting fit as if nothing has happened. |

He won't be totally healed, he's been working injured for years. Word is he only has one possibly 2 matches left in him, the final one being at next year's Wrestlemania where he'll retire with the 22-0 streak intact.

Re: WWE
Quote:
I'm just wondering if they're actually going to let him retire with the streak intact or will they use it to put over a new guy. Although knowing the WWE they'll give his streak to Cena. The only person on the roster I think can take Taker to a decent match these days would be Daniel Bryan, they could have a submission match very low on bumps that would be safe and pretty entertaining watching two guys chain submission moves and counters. But WWE don't seem to want to push DB even after giving him the briefcase. The only way I could see it working is if they put the WHC on Taker before WM, and then had DB go over him ending the streak. But there's two major issues with that, 1) it'd take a monumental push to get DB up to the level that that would happen seeing as they've just buried the guy since MITB. 2) it'd be throwing 2 of the big WM fights into one. The card would be pretty damn weak if they did it, especially if they stick with Cena vs Rock for the title, that's 2 matches that should really be 4. |

Re: WWE
When they did the Show/Lesnar thing a few years ago it was pretty impressive but last night's show did nothing for me because a) we'd seen it before and b) having put a few rings together and knowing their internal structure, collapsing in that manner could not possibly happen when a large weight lands in the middle like that.
Saying that though, it was unexpected and a great spot although I'd have preferred a proper finish. Anyway, I'm adding a new rule to this thread and will repeat it as necessary for a while..... As most WWE shows are broadcast from around midnight/2am in the UK, please do NOT post spoilers in this thread within 24 hours of the show ending. This gives a chance to those of us who either recorded it or plan to watch it later in the day. If you wish to discuss anything within that 24 hours please use the 'spoiler' tags. This goes for RAW/Smackdown shows as well as PPVs. |
Re: WWE
Really was the ring not ment to do that? Yet I'm remember as well when it happened with lesnar

Re: WWE
The ring was gimmicked to do that.

Re: WWE
Quote:
Started off fairly strongly, Tag team, Ryder Ziggler, Christian Sheamus and even the Divas match were pretty decent for the opening half. Then it just went downhill. Orton again had to go clean over someone. And despite Rhodes current thing being to restore the honour of the intercontinental title he had a non title match because "lol like we'd stick that thing on Orton". HHH+Punk vs awesome truth, was bad. Really bad. Cena vs Del Rio, I'm REALLY fed up with Cena's constant no-sells of pretty much everything. His idea of selling is "gonna stay on the floor doing nothing and then bam, straight to my feet!". Del Rio did an awesome job of making stupid light steel wall segment things look like they weighed half a ton, then Cena just lies there until a count of 8 and bam, gets straight out from under them. The only reason I even bothered watching it was because I thought the gimmicked ring could add to it, but no, it didn't. There some awesome sellers in WWE, people that will carry an injury through a match and make you believe they actually got hurt, and then there's Cena at the opposite end of the spectrum, who is invincible, even when you beat him he'll be back up as soon as the bell goes and walking around like nothing happened. |

Re: WWE
:eek: :eek: :eek:
I have just watched the Bret and Shawn interview DVD and I'm still in shock. This is the one where Jim Ross sat them both down to talk about their beginnings in the great tag-team era of the late 80s, their subsequent singles careers, their behind-the-scenes rivalries and of course a certain match from Montreal. Both were very open and pulled no punches about what annoyed them about each other, both acknowledged that 'the office' encouraged it but what was a bit of a shame was quite often when Bret mentioned something nasty Shawn did or said, HBK did the "I don't remember that but it sounds like something I'd have done so I take responsibility for it" thing - not bad for someone who was whacked out on drugs for most of the era. Both took their own share of responsibility for Montreal, neither admitted their parts were wrong but there was a genuineness in their desire that it should have been avoided - Bret pointed out that at that point he didn't even have to turn up at Survivor Series as he'd far exceeded his contracted number of matches for that year. But towards the end, Bret gets really emotional when he talks about his stroke, when Vince called him up as soon as he switched his phone on in the hospital, about how he felt relieved to know that Shawn also wanted to make peace, it was awesome and a number of times Bret was fighting back tears. Fantastic DVD and I recommend it to any WWE fan from that era. I've always been a massive HBK mark and was pretty indifferent to Bret in the 90s but IMO the Hitman came off slightly better in this. It wasn't a rivalry DVD in the way of trying to get more sympathy than the other, it was just honesty. Bret had a lot to get off his chest (Shawn has done numerous interviews over the years admitting his part in Montreal and being a hard person to like back in the day) and you get the impression this was the first time he'd spoken so openly like this. Incredible stuff, certainly my favourite wrestling documentary after 'The Monday Night Wars'. |

---------- Post added at 08:38 ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 ---------- Mick Foley appeared on Wrestling Voice Radio this week and spoke about returning to WWE last week at a live event from Dublin, Ireland. When asked about why Foley chose an overseas house show for his big return, Foley said: "The basic answer is because I just happened to be flying into Dublin the day they were there and my hotel was literally across the street. I called and asked if I could come hang out and it was a lot of fun." Foley was originally advertised November 14th RAW Supershow from Boston featuring The Rock's return, but says he wasn't surprised when WWE scrapped the idea and decided to keep the attention on The Rock that night. Foley also said he probably has one big match left in him and named The Miz as the person he'd want to wrestle against. |

Henry o Godwin in critical condition
Former WWE talent Mark Canterbury (a/k/a Henry O. Godwinn), 47, was hospitalized following a car wreck Tuesday night in Lindside, West Virginia. He reportedly drove his automobile over a cliff. Law enforcement used the Jaws of Life to remove Canterbury from his automobile and he was flown to an intensive care unit. Canterbury had both his spleen and appendix removed Wednesday. Doctors discovered a tumor in his appendix while performing surgery, resulting in its removal. His leg was broken in three places, and both of his lungs were punctured. He also suffered thirteen broken ribs. source: F4WOnline.com |

Re: WWE
After almost nine years with WWE, John Morrison's days as a Superstar are coming to an end.
PWInsider.com reports that Morrison will be parting ways with WWE following next Monday's Raw SuperShow in Columbia, South Carolina. His original contract with the organization expired earlier this month but he agreed to an extension to fulfill shows in which he was advertised for. Morrison has been looking forward to leaving WWE for the past several months due to unhappiness. The feeling is said to be mutual as WWE did not make much of an effort to retain the Prince of Parkour. According to sources within TNA Wrestling, company officials are strongly interested in utilizing Morrison and Melina as a couple. There has also been talk of making him the centerpiece of the X Division and having him work a program with current champion Austin Aries. However, it is unknown whether Morrison has spoken with TNA. |

Re: WWE
I can't see WWE having a 52 year old as their champion. I think a run against CM Punk would be great (and they have history so it would make sense) but knowing the way Nash works, he's very careful with his money apparently so obviously doesn't need to wrestle. If he did work a programme with Punk then he'd more than likely make that his final run and would probably want it at Wrestlemania.
WWE are unlikely to run with that as they're still hoping for a Stone Cold v Punk match for it. |

Re: WWE
Quote:
Just watching Nash walk to the ring is painful, the guy is near enough crippled. He barely managed to jackknife powerbomb HHH outside of a match. He shouldn't be anywhere near a ring, not just because he can't put on a decent match anymore but for his own health as well. The rumours are that they are going to do a Undertaker HHH again at wrestlemania (hence HHH doing the whole "only one man walked out of the ring" thing) and that's a match I have no interest in seeing again. It was bad enough last time where 2/3rds of the match was two old guys lying on the floor having a breather. Undertaker needs someone that can work well enough that it covers up the fact undertaker can't really go anymore. Only person on the roster I can think who fits the bill who hasn't already worked a program with Undertaker is Daniel Bryan, but that'd need a hell of a build to make him look viable. |
Re: WWE
I don't think you're giving HHH credit here - don't get me wrong, he's no ring general but in both matches you've mentioned I think he slowed down to allow the other man to work more comfortably.
We all know Taker's knees are shot to pieces and is restricted in what he can do. Even HBK looked like he slowed his pace down at their WM match to accommodate UT's movements. I'm not saying if he was at full health that he and HHH would have put on a classic btw. Same with the Nash match. HHH is not going to humiliate his opponent by working at a pace which makes it look stupid. As for Bryan.....I can't ever see him at Main Event status, which is why I'm guessing his title reign will be a short one. OK Benoit made a credible champion but his muscle mass was more impressive than Bryan's so he looked a bit bigger but he also genuinely looked like a tough SOB. So yes, Vince will really have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to make him credible. If a face-turn was in order....what would you say about Ziggler? |
Re: WWE
Daniel Bryan bores the hell out of me. His Entrance theme is as bad as Santino's and I'm tired of him being compared to Kurt Angle.
|
Re: WWE
You can see what WWE are trying to do there, making 2 guys champions who were big on the independent circuit to try to appeal to the hardcore smarks. It helps that Punk and Bryan both have legitimate submission backgrounds but I don't buy Bryan as champ. Apparently Punk has been losing viewers on Raw which is surprising but his Tshirt sales are through the roof (I should know, I have one :p: )

Ziggler makes an amazing heel, I'd say one of the best on the roster. He's an awesome worker too. He's exactly what the WWE needs in a heel, turning him face would be ridiculous. He is too big for the US title, I'm glad he's dropped it to Ryder because hopefully it means they're going to move him up the card. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a Zigger vs Ryder program soon, which would be awesome as they are both excellent workers and the feud basically writes itself. The ultimate show off vs the humble warrior. They need to start giving Ziggler more promo time, his segments on Z true long island story are always entertaining, if he can pull that sort of stuff off on TV then it'll be pretty easy to build him as a credible top heel. I'm struggling to see where they'd find room for another face as well, they're not really short of them, what they're short of is credible well booked heels. Mark Henry is the only heel they've made look strong recently, shame he's injured else it'd be interesting to see if they kept his push going into wrestlemania. Quote:

Re: WWE
I was on the co-codomol this morning when I mentioned Ziggler as a heel :D
What I meant was how about him v Taker at Mania? Everyone knows Taker will retire undefeated at VM but each year his opponent should have something about him which makes you think he might be the one to end it. It should be someone he hasn't crossed paths with before and is a credible winner. I see that in Ziggler. |

They could segue Ziggler's current gimmick quite easily into "I'm that damn good I should end the streak". The problem being though they need to build him like crazy after how often Ryder's pinned him recently. Don't get me wrong getting the belt off him was by far the best thing to do (it was pretty much holding him back), but he hasn't exactly came out of it looking strong. People keep saying CM Punk, but he's probably below HHH in my list of match choices. They've wrestled a fair few times and it's always lacked that connection and understanding that turns a good match into a great one. They don't seem to work well together. Quote:
Some of the matches he got out of Orton were crazy. I'd love to see Christian built up to the stage where he could be a legitimate contender for ending the streak, he's been one of my favourites for a long long time, but it's just not going to happen. Honestly I think it's more likely that the 2nd will see a Jericho return and he'll be built up to face Undertaker. |
Re: WWE
Jericho would be perfect. It's one of the worst-kept secrets that he's returning next week and it's being said he's only after a short run, so up to WM would be ideal. His crazy heel persona would be believable as someone going after the streak (I wouldn't mind betting that between now and WM there'll be a Jericho v HHH match as a "number 1 contender to end the streak") and is one of the few men left who could carry 'Taker and sell the hell out of his moves.
