Official Wrestling thread Part 2

Eli Cottonwood!

Its because too many of the wrestlers spent years referring to it as THE WWE which I believe was the original reason for the creation of the "WWE universe" trademark..

Anyone have 10 hours to kill?

OMFG!!!!

Some good stuff here.

Well, although I'm sure tonight's TNA PPV will have a very low buyrate (how do you schedule a PPV for Mother's Day?), the card doesn't look bad.

Out of the 7 matches, there are several I think could be very good.

Of course since it's a TNA PPV, the expectation should be for some dissapointments...

I just hope they don't have the screw job / run in fest I anticipate with AJ vs. Angle.
This has the potential to be one of the best matches on the card, yet I expect a Kazarian / Daniels run in at the very least...I wish they'd just let the guys wrestle!

Although no one expects RVD to beat Roode, I think it has the potential to be a solid match as RVD can still work when motivated.

The tag championship match could be fun and I wouldn't be surprised to see a Kaz / Daniels win. However, please explain why the hell the MCMG's are nowhere to be found on this PPV card???

Normally I could care less about the Knockout match, but Brooke is beyond smokin' and seeing her in a hot outfit is enough to give this match 3 stars before it even starts.

I could care less about the TV 3 way match and I fully expect a Robbie T win, followed by a Robbie E turn on his bodyguard...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

The match I can't quite figure out would be Anderson vs. Hardy...Their styles are so different and Anderson doesn't work well when an opponent has this different of an in ring style.
Hopefully they can make it work, as I think they're both talented and Hardy is still the most over performer on the TNA roster.

I guess my expectations for TNA PPVs are so low by now that I actually think this might not suck as much as I think...We'll see...

I hear ya...Man, this forum has died hasn't it? Even on Monday nights it's not nearly as active as it once was.

It used to be even for TNA PPVs that a few would post, now this thing can go up to a day without a post...Sad...

i post every raw. impact not so much. wwe ppvs usually get quite a few. tna gets posts when they have shitty MAIN EVENT finsihes.

was anyone else just totally bored shitless with Johnny Ace and big slow's segment

Totally..my thoughts is the whole Johnny Ace schtick has just about run its course...what it needs is a Vince sighting...

Not just Ace and show.. But Cena's annoying shtick was too fuckin much.. Pathetic Raw..

Both segments ran about 5 minutes too long. Dull Raw. Not sure who would pay for this shitty ppv in this economy either.

I was VERY upset that they waited for the last 5 minutes to get Eve out there. This bitch is SO fucking hot right now.

Lets see..they will bring Brock back..or maybe the Big Show to attack Cena...cuz technically neither of them are currently on the roster...but I musta missed alot..how did Johnny Ace get the power to fire anyone..last I heard HHH was the CEO..and he makes a brief appearance at the top of the show and is never seen again...never thought I would say this but the WWE needs a dose of MacMahon..whether its Vince or Steph or ShaneO..although he is out of the business..it is beyond ridiculous to me with Johnny Ace..he is the most pitiful heel ever

The Heyman and HHH stuff was very good. With heyman talking that buildup is going to be great.

I definitely say the Big Show interferes to get his job back. he is fired and not a WWE Superstar. So he can interfere and help Johnny win

Man I gotta tell ya I disagree..Paulie is nowhere near as good as he used to be..and that was a segment that needed a Vince..not a HHH

i see Brock and Show attack Super Cena and Cena still gets the win

I like HHH as the corporate guy now who will get into the ring for an event type match. Of course Vince is Vince, but HHH is doing the job great and he is the future of the head of the company.

I know they want the "new guys in charge" HHH & Ace to work this out. But that segment to start Raw needed Vince & Heyman.. We know HHH is the new boss, but if realism is what u want Vince should have made an appearance.

I do like the angle though.. But the heat would have been great between Vince and Heyman..

Waste of a RAW last nite but I do agree that Lesnar and probably Big Show will both interfere in the Cena match. Big Show will probably become Johnny's bitch for a month or so as his reluctant bodyguard/hit man.

I don't know if Vince has his heart in the WWE anymore. Its obvious that all he cares about is merchandise sales and PPV buys. He isn't interested in the product. And Steph plays a big part in that too. You have to believe that HHH knows the product isn't that good, that the writing is poor, and older fans are just going through the motions because they grew up with wrestling and don't want to turn it off. But married into the family doesn't give him creative control. We can talk til we turn blue in the face, hell we could go to Stamford and give Vince our two cents but he just doesn't care anymore. Mainstreaming pro wrestling, going PC, making movies, shitty writing and the lack of development of new, skilled wrestlers has killed the product.

Maybe a boycott is needed. No more buying PPV's (I haven't bought one in many, many years), no more buying merchandise (I never bought a single shirt or piece of wrestling merchandise), and no more viewing. I took a three month break before the Rumble, now I record RAW and skim thru it. Last two weeks ran thru both shows in about 10 mins. each. And honestly, I only give a shit about Daniel Bryan. Jericho is probably leaving and has lost four straight PPV main events and Punk has been so watered down (which a lot of people predicted would happen) that he isn't that interesting to watch anymore. And your main storyline is a badass former champ hiding behind a mouthpiece and lawsuits.

I guess some of us are like some of the Howard fans here, we grew up with a different product and it has changed so much we are not entertained by it. And all we do is bitch. Well, that was my bitch for today.

As much as I love Heyman, I have to agree. Paulie has been flat and uninteresting so far...It was so boring and uncreative that I found myself guessing exactly what he was going to say and being right more often than not.

If Heyman is supposed to be representing a "non corporate" guy, wouldn't you just let him shoot some and dish on a few people? The entire segment was a major....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ...

So Show is fired for making fun of Big Johnny's voice but Cena gets a free pass? Hello? Continuity much?

All kinds of issues with the stinking, steaming turd knows as this past Monday's Raw...
I hate when they telegraph angles...Does anyone not think that Lesnar, Show or both will save John L at the PPV??? ZZZZZZZZZ...

The thing that made me fall asleep was that shit promo Cena gave after already suffering thru the Big Slow segment.. Fuckin Cena at an all time annoyance last night.. That was bad.. Yeah yeah yeah, great guy.. I GET THAT.. But fuck I can't take his campy ass shit anymore..

Liked the Heyman line "U hired a fighter into an entertainment business.." Fuck haters, Heyman can still get across what he needs to say.. And its way more believable that its him than some troglodyte from FCW as Lesnar's attorney..
