If Punk loses, I riot.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

For the first time in a LONG time, the last 5 minutes of Raw gave me a true HOLY ****!! moment - did not see that one coming! I imposed a "no spoilers for 24 hours" rule in this thread - which even applied to myself - and now I'm regretting it. I want tomorrow to hurry up and come so we can post about this!

WWE had been drifting for too long, the Rumble was ok other than the winner being pretty obvious and the Last Man Standing match, whilst having some pretty sick bump had a terrible ending, basically a repeat of the last one (Batista v Cena). Yes seeing The Rock's return was good but nothing really got me excited about the product - until now :)

Can't you use spoiler tags?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Yeah but the contents still show up in email alerts.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Aha! Good thinking.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Really? Its inevitable that it will be him versus trips at WrestleMania then he's off into the sunset, again. Then twice in a lifetime for the title, it is looking pretty bleak IMO.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I am so happy chris Jericho is bk hope he doesn't leave again

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Awesome idea! Instead of not posting spoilers for 24 hours let's just say things that virtually give away who it is to any casual WWE fan.... :rolleyes:

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Considering the population of this thread is about 4 and the bloke who hasn't already posted has a Cena avatar, who is the CableForum 'casual WWE fan'?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Me. I dip in and out, and all I can say about the latest inductee to Hall of Fame is meh. They've done chuff all to deserve being inducted.

Rumours are that Madison Square Garden will be first building inducted and the celebrity inductee this year will be Donald Trump. Big meh to him.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

:shocked:

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Why are they doing that for? The only people who should be alound in there are the people who step into that ring day and night and put there body's on the line. Like mankind he going in and he defo Deserves to be in

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

We get a lot of guest visitors too.

I see what you're saying but it should also include 'defining moment' stars too. I disagree with about Trump going in (if true) but a good example would be Mike Tyson. His impact during the early Attitude Era played a major part in the Monday Night Wars.

What a fool. Just back from injury, straight back into the title hunt and he goes and gets done for drugs. Think this would be a first violation of the Wellness policy but God knows what this means for the title race now.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)

He was due to win the title at WM29. That's now in doubt.

Big rumour that The Undertaker may come back tonight

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Hell yes. Will record it then, in the hopes he makes an appearance.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

He returned at a house show last week - unconfirmed reports say he's booked for tonight.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I hope he does. I'll totally go nuts. He's the last one left from when I started watching WWE. I like some of the current stars, but none have got me as hooked on them like I was with Hogan, Savage, Warrior, Undertaker, Austin and Rock. Plus my all time favourite Triple H.

Would watch live but I'm up early for a pincushion job first thing. (Blood test).

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

WWe.com have just annoced that Donald trump will be going in the hall of fame 2013

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

OMFG! I so want to swear about that. What the hell has he ever done for the business?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Bet he brought his way into it. I think this is a really bad

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Trump from such classic moments as managing Elevated Enzymes vs. Jamal from 3 Minute Warning at WM23 and buying and selling Raw in a week.

I hope he gets a worse reception than Drew Carey.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Do you mean 'bought'? No way does Trump need anything from WWE. More likely Vince added him to give the ceremony a bit more 'star power'.

Anyway, the opening 5 minutes of last night's Raw...no spoilers but yessss!!

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Old Skool Claret :nworthy:;)

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I know people have a go at Cena, I think it's unfair a lot of the time as it's not his fault he's the company's cash cow. His ability might be limited, I'll agree to that however the kids love him.

But you think he'd actually sell the effects of a piledriver....

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

That's been my problem with Cena for a long while now. I appreciate the hard work he does, he has my respect for the way he represents the company. However, I am sick of him using the same 5 moves each match, and his inability to sell any moves that would leave the likes of Santino rolling in agony. When he faced Punk at MITB in 2011, imo that was Cena's best match ever. Showed what he can do when he uses more than the same old rubbish every time.

First section was the best part of the whole show, from there it went downhill for me.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Don't worry HHH, I'd probably have a little 'accident' too if Brock Lesnar was about to F5 me on to a table.

Is raw on at 0000 tonight or is it on the usually time of 0100?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Midnight for a couple of weeks, then once our clocks go forward back to the usual time of 1.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Just watched Raw, Punk is an outstanding heel, must be one of the best ever. Jericho and Miz are made for each other.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Brad Maddox' spot was possibly the worst I've ever seen on Raw.

Are The new age Outlaws bk 4 gd? Be great if they are would love to see them tag team champions

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

They both work behind the scenes at WWE and will make sporadic appearances if needed but they won't be on the road full-time.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

They come back on WWE TV last week due to WWE 'Old School' Raw.

This week was due to making the HHH and Brock Lesnar match next month look good.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Thanks. Shame tho :( there great as a tag team and the fans love them with all that cheer

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I know right? Crowds seem to be dead lately, unless darling Cena or Punk are out there. And Taker still gets a huge pop from crowds. I think the day crowds fail to go nuts over Taker he needs to give it up.

Saying that, I think this will be the last WM for him. The last 2 matches he's had at WM have taken more and more out of him.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Looks like Punk may be out of Wrestlemania. Tweeted that he had knee ligament damage.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

What ever happened to the WWe channel? U never hear anything about it on raw or Smackdown in ages

Reid flair has been discovered dead according to Kurt angles twitter, he was only 25 as well :(

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Sadly looks like yet another one addicted to drugs. Wonder how long before WWE get the blame for this death. AFAIK, Reid Flair never wrestled in WWE, so blaming them is pointless. But the McMahon family get blamed for every death of a wrestler.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I think December to Dismember had a better build than Mania, by lordy have things been poor.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

I know right? I have a feeling that Taker will lose his streak, Cena will be champion yet again which means that spinning title will be back, and Lesnar will beat Triple H. I'll just look at the results and maybe watch it after downloading for my brother.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Taker will never lose the streak, at least not not Punk. If he does lose it it'll be to someone needing that achievement and Punk doesn't.

Cena certainly will win the title as part of the 'payback' agreement of Rock beating him last year.

And the way they've angled it there's no way Lesnar will win. When HHH retires it'll be made has his own decision. There's no way he will end his career with a forcible 'retirement'.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Everything said above with the added spinner title, doubt it's coming back, I like the look of the new WWE title and the whole spinner deal doesn't fit Cena now anyway.

For the last two years I've felt WrestleMania has been getting under promoted but again I've felt that about all WWE PPV's in general, first was the entire renaming deal, then they made it so there's match specific PPV's... Imo the Money in the Bank at WM was far superior to an entire PPV dedicated to one match.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

The WWE title means too much to the industry to have it changed again so soon. It'll stay in its current design for a good few years yet, and never back to being a 'spinner'.

Oh and having just watched the end of Raw, there should be no doubts as to who will win a certain match at WM. No spoilers to be posted (at least until tomorrow) but they're sailing dangerously close to the wind with how it ended.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Could be right, but until I see the results are what I want them to be I will have a bad feeling about them.

Since last WM, this will be Cena's 4th title match. 3 in 2012, and now this year's WM. Wonder if he will keep it as long as Punk did, or if they will make him lose it back to Punk at the next PPV? And in any case, Rock has to have a rematch because I thought champions got an automatic rematch if they lost the title?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Yeah, Over the Limit will be the Mania card other than Taker of course.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Well yeah, in a world where rules actually mean something...

Anyway the plan for Rock's next feud is with Lesnar. Can't wait for that!

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Rock and Punk double tonight would be great, can't see that playing out though :( Not willing to pay the £18 or so for it tbh. Loved Rock saying Cena would be sitting next morning shovelling fruity pebbles in his mouth wondering what happened to him:D

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Got my Punk shirt on, not that excited for the card but can't pass up Punk/Taker and possible Ziggler cash in.

Twice in a lifetime will probably turn into nap time.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Still got a bad feeling about tonight. Will watch tomorrow when I download it for my brother. He's 13 in a month's time and a big fan of Punk so will be upset if Taker keeps the streak. I want the streak to carry on, but as I said earlier I have a bad feeling about it this year.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Me and my daughter all set for this :D Certainly ain't trusting Virgin with the on demand problems this weekend. Hellno are usually a laugh. Hope Ryback beats the dullest guy in wrestling too.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Might watch it live actually, I know a site where I can watch it live. Not wasting £18 to see my fears come true.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)

You've got to beat the champion to face the champion.

What logic.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

No spoilers but I got suckered in by Cena's promo, I thought it was, rambling, boring. But then his comments about the 'dance'.....very clever! But it was interesting to see 'that' side of him.

Gutted to see the IC title really does mean naff-all these days.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Watching Raw right now, certainly no spoilers until later but FINALLY justice for one man!

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Will give it a quick look over tonight, have it downloading whilst out this afternoon.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

The crowd had clearly just come from the darts not Mania, absolutely brilliant. Next week will be back down to earth.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

The ending was kind of inevitable really, although I thought it would be a few months off yet.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Who is in love with Ziggler in WWE HQ? He very poor in the ring.

But to be fair so is 80% of workers in WWE right now.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Are you serious?!

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Yes.

Thank god I got V+ in.:sleep:

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Ziggler is one of the most technically gifted athletes on the roster. His psychology is awesome, his in-ring abilities is why so many people want to work with him, he sells moves like no-one else, his promos are good and make sense...I fail to see how anyone could think of him as less than a top performer.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Everyone will have they own view.

He just not my cup of tea - that all.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Crowd were hilarious last night :D Hope u were listening Mr McMahon

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

His selling is amazing, a throwback to Mr Perfect and the early HBK. As someone who has done the training perhaps I just appreciate how well he bumps as I'm amazed he can pull them off yet still be able to perform every night. His conditioning must be incredible. I reckon he could be the next 'that guy' if marketed properly.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Fandango... just lol. Jericho can't even make him look good. Give it a month and he'll be Fanjobber.

The crowd last night was immense, constant troll chanting made it an amazing raw to watch. Humming Fandango's entrance theme for an hour and even got Cena to dance to it.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Just having a quick watch, can't believe Ziggler and Big Show got such huge pops. With the crowd reacting like that, Ziggler is definitely over with the crowd. I think he could make a face turn no problem. Trouble is, I think he is one of those who is better as a heel. Jericho for instance, Big Show and Orton another 2 better as heels. Sheamus too.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

How could you be sure? Ziggler's never been face. You might be right but I think we'll find out soon enough. I'll give him to about Survivor Serious before they turn him.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Just a gut feeling, some wrestlers you can tell are better as heels, even if they never have a face turn. I much preferred the heel Shawn Michaels to face Michaels.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Fandango's theme is currently number 11 in the UK charts :disturbd:

Just seen fandango theme song is 11 in the uk charts and 2nd in the uk sound track charts. On ITunes. Wounder where it is in the USA if its 11th here. Has a WWe theme song ever got in the charts befor?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Just bought tickets for the TV tapings in two weeks (they had 7 left for Raw from the entire arena), hopefully the nutters from Monday are there again.

Da da, da da da da, da da da da da da...

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Not a theme but a few of the wrestlers 'sang' on Slam Jam in 1992.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Hopfully it be even louder seeing its in England this time. I cart wait to go. Is it true the undertaker going 2 be there?

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Yeah, Sheamus/Orton/Taker vs. The Shield at the SmackDown taping, the main reason I quickly decided to go now rather than November as I can't imagine he'll be coming back.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

True cart see him coming over again. I go everytime and its been years since I last seen him here so excited now thank u

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Rumours are that he is coming on this tour as next years WM will be his last one, and he will retire 22-0 keeping the streak intact. Those same rumours also say WWE will try and convince Brock Lesnar to be the last opponent for Taker as Taker would like to fight him.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Any decent places to eat in London that don't make you cry at the prices? First time I've been.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Loads. Chain Stores, Cafes etc.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

Just installed TripAdvisor on my phone, now I don't know if I'm more excited for the wrestling or the food :p:.

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

My 1st time going to London and the O2 arena so not a clue sorry

Re: WWE (no spoilers for 24 hours)
 

You're going to the O2? There are a few places to eat in there but they're a bit expensive. It really depends how you define it but you're probably looking at between £20 - £30 a head type places. It's mostly chain stores.

The O2 is sort of in the middle of nowhere as well. I would recommend eating elsehwere if you want to keep prices down.
