Official Wrestling thread Part 2

I wasn't hating on Heyman...I love the guy...But what the company is giving him to do is mind numbingly boring and a waste of his talent...
Look, I guess the Lesnar thing could have been a success if the following three things had occurred:

1) Lesnar came to the job in some sort of shape..Yes, the "legitimate" angle works great when your bad ass looks like he just came from Old Country Buffet...
2) They had brought in Heyman at the same time and let him do shoot style promos and keep mumble mouth Lesnar mute.
3) If putting him in a program with Cena was the only alternative, at least have him win the PPV match, even if it had to be with outside interference.

Well, just like last year when the WWE totally butchered the Punk "walk out" angle, the Lesnar p[program is to the point where most people won't give a shit anymore, regardless of what they do.

Really the only hope I have at this point for the summer is that they don't fuck up the Danie Bryan push as he's one of the only interesting performers right now...Of course, they're already trying to blow it when they book him and Punk in a tag match with Rhodes and Santino as a way to sell their match this Sunday...WTF???

Upfronts 2012: USA to Air Expanded 'WWE Raw' on Mondays

Fans can interact via social media

Complete Coverage: Upfronts 2012

USA will expand WWE Monday Night Raw three hours per week; the news was announced via wrestler John Cena's Twitter account during USA's upfront event Thursday in New York.

The first expanded telecast airs July 23 starting at 8 p.m. ET. That day, WWE Raw will mark its unprecedented 1,000th episode. The move comes at a time when live sports are drawing increased attention among advertisers and eliminates the need for USA to find compatible programming leading into wrestling.

Using social media plays to strength at both USA and WWE.

"The WWE Universe is one of the most socially active and passionate fan bases in all of television," Chris McCumber and Jeff Wachtel, co-presidents USA Network, said in a statement. "The powerful three-hour block of live TV truly makes USA the year-round destination for young male viewers on Monday nights."

Cena has more than 2 million followers on Twitter.

The expanded Raw will provide viewers with new opportunities to interact over social media.

"WWE is proud to celebrate this historic milestone with our partners at USA Network," said WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon. "Our new three-hour Raw represents the next generation in interactive television where our fans won't just watch the show, they will help create it.

3 hour Raws UGHHH WCW 2000 written all over it, they can't even write a 2hr show without 5 re writes.. How long before Kiss is playin ERRR lip syncing, on Raw..

Brodus is going to have to learn a new dance to bite into that new hour of RAW. And I guess will we be seeing a lot more of A. Washington's new Nexus. I can't wait.

I really dont know how I feel about this. Thats ALOT of Raw.

Brooke Hogan signs a contract with TNA.

Can't wait till TNA sets the wrestling world on its head with a Garrett/Brooke love angle.. UGHHHHH.. And with the new TMZ style they want.. U know they're gonna have worked videos of Brooke with wrestlers etc.. Especially Bischoffs kid.. Fuckin joke..

As for tonights show Meh not to bad.. I just fear where this will all be in 3 months..

Garrett Bischoff and Brooke Hogan marriage angle will be the best.

BTW, WWE signed Ric Flairs daughter to a developmental deal. Anyone else think when she comes up. she should wear the robes like her dad and do the woo. fans would love her.

I actually liked last night's Impact...Hogan was in the opening segment and that was it for the most part, certainly a win there.

Also, the qualifying matches were pretty solid and made the World Title the main focus of the show, which is another good thing.

And not too bad of a Knockouts match sandwiched in between! Anytime Velvet and Brooke T are on, it's good for a nice "rise" in my interest level.

Of course there certainly was some bad though...The Eric Young / ODB feud with Crimson they're trying to build looks dumb, dumb, dumb.
My guess is they had to throw that program together when they realized Matt Morgan's appearance limit had been reached.

Eric Bischoff's kid will never be any good, yet they're still pushing him...UGH!!!

I personally couldn't give one microscopic rat's ass about the Abyss / brother angle...Dumb, dumb, dumb...

All this being said, I think this was one of those rare weeks when Impact was better than Raw.

Already been a year.. RIP Macho..

zach ryder and kane on youtube

Not a bad match so far, but there's no way Kane loses...It would be ridiculous booking if Ryder wins unless there's a run in of some sort...

a battle royal got added with the winner getting an ic title shot tonight

Lookin at a lot of wrestlers in this battle royal that should be gettin a fuckin push.. An Miz in the pre show 2 months in a row UGH is he gettin shit on.. Tho he's my pick in the battle royal..

Christian is back. Yes

The tag match was fun but good fucking grief! How many more times are they going to job Ziggler???
They're burying one of the most talented performers the WWE has...
