WWE/WWF/TNA/Wrestling discussion thread - (may contain spoilers!!!)

[Bartrim]

Again TNA WTF?!?!? The Motorcity machineguns losing to Jay Lethal and Consequences Creed! What a joke.

Oh yeah and the main event had such potential yet Russo's inability to write and Samoa Joes lack of charisma stuffed up another potentialy great card. Kurt's head cut was pretty bad. Must of it one of the bolts on the ladder or something.

[Pulse]

I thought one of the reasons Kurt left Vince was so that he wouldn't get injured as much again...

[Burn]

Kurt didn't leave, he was forced out because he wouldn't slow down.

Vince and Co. were concerned that with all his injuries and Angle's constant desire to push himself they were afraid of losing him like they did Eddie.

So even after forcing time off onto him it still didn't slow him down so they released him in the hopes that would stop him, but he turned around and went straight to TNA.

Which wasn't THAT bad really as TNA works on a much reduced schedule.

And if you think the MCMG's losing was bad, wtf were they thinking with the Dutt/Lethal "stipulation"?

"Both men are chained together wearing tuxedos, the chain can be used as a weapon. To win the match you must either pin your opponent or strip your opponent of their tuxedo".

ugh .... TNA. Gimmick overload. How the wrestlers keep up with what sort of match they're suppose to be wrestling amazes me.

[Pulse]

Kurt & his injuries... :(

& then they take his frequent injuries & turn them into a storyline...

I'm talking about this staged bloodbath (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGBKC_3O6d8&feature=related) & the finish from Kurt's & AJ's Hard Justice match...

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles defeated Kurt Angle in a truly epic Last Man Standing match after hitting a top rope DDT on Angle - and the Olympian was unable to beat the 10 count. After the bout, paramedics came in to examine Kurt... " quoted from the TNA Website

(I've been searching for a vid/pic of the top rope DDT to illustrate just how nuts it was but I can't find one)

It looks like Kurt's got a deathwish or something... :(

[Mixmaster]

There's a wrestling thread?? Cool. I haven't watched any TNA. I'm just waiting for the Undertakers return (again) at SS. :o

[Bartrim]

Welcome to the wrestling thread Mixmaster. If you like you wrestling full of gimmicks, quick little guys whos timing is just off or main eventers that are past their prime, have man boobs or need to slow down and rest so the can actually perform at 100% then TNA is the show for you.:p

That being said as you can tell from my posts I love The Motorcity Machine Guns and am extremely peeved that they were forced to job to jobbers last sat nite.

[Pulse]

Glad to see you've found the rasslin' thread Mixmaster! :)

Transfans & Rasslin' Smarks merged into one? Who knew they actually existed... :p

[Pulse]

You can't make this stuff up... :rolleyes:

I found this (http://www.bollyspice.com/view.php/1563-saif-lara-and-darsheel-win-rajiv-gandhi-awards.html) through PWTorch

What about the drivel in the second paragraph?

"WWE wrestler The Great Khali will also be awarded a 'Super Achiever Wrestler par Excellence Trophy.' This fine young man of 387lbs (174kg) is a power lifter with extensive experience in serious wrestling styles such as Graeco-Roman, aikido, judo and kalari - as well as entertainment-oriented styles such as Japanese Pro and WWE. A former Punjabi policeman, he was Mr India in 1997 and 1998. He will soon be seen in the movie Ramaa - The Saviour with Tanushree Dutta and Sahil Khan."

How could anyone be proud of Khali? All he ever will be is a bloody Freakshow! *sigh*

[Burn]

We've only seen his WWE stuff. Before that he did a lot of stuff in India and as probably the only Indian to achieve big "success" in the WWE he's also practically regarded as a national hero there.

There really is more to the guy than just what we see.

[Scattershot]

Yeah, i love Khali. I wish people would give him a break. Although I'm still barracking for HHH at SS

[Pulse]

I know I'm not like most Smarks but I just can't stand it when a stiff, freakshow like Khali who couldn't work a realistic-looking match if his life depended on it takes a roster spot away from another up-&-coming rassler who just has so much more potential... :rolleyes:

Personally I'd rate Khali as being nearly as bad as...

http://www.obsessedwithwrestling.com/pictures/g/giantgonzales/11.jpg

please don't flame me...

[Burn]

You're spared from flaming for WWE management have done it again!


WWE has just announced the releases of Colin Delaney and Smackdown Diva Cherry. The list of released WWE talent as of today is:

Stevie Richards
Referee Wes Adams
Cherry
The Highlanders
Colin Delaney

They release Cherry but keep some talentless bimbo like Maryse?

[Scattershot]

Oh not Stevie Richards, I liked that guy.

[Pulse]

It must be that time of the year again where Vince cleans out the roster... :rolleyes:



They release Cherry but keep some talentless bimbo like Maryse?

Maybe in Vince's eyes, Cherry wasn't hot enough? :D

Anyone else catch this?

Soon after the start of the Wilde/Hemme match there was a quick flash on the screen, split second subliminal type thing. Paused it in the right spot.

Black background, white writing.

whoissuicide.com (http://www.whoissuicide.com/)

It then links to a MySpace page. Looks like another "monster" type character coming to TNA.

Guess Russo is running out of original ideas. Booker is playing a part similar to his King Booker gimmick, Kip "Billy Gunn" James is back to his Chuck and Billy gimmick, and Davari is the new Hussan.

I thought I saw something but I was half asleep so I just disregarded it. Thank you Burn for proving I'm not seeing things.

Isn't there some law against subliminal messaging? I vaguely remember something about Coke and movies in my Commerce class in high school. I guess it might be okay since it is there own product.

That Whoissuicide Myspace pic reminded me of La Parka (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLyP1CQ9jUU) :D

You gotta remember that everything & anything goes in pro wrestling :p

[Burn]

Anyone else order Summerslam? Gotta wait for the 8:30pm repeat. I shouldn't complain, I couldn't take the day off because i've just started a new job and it's been good for me. So having to wait a few hours for my wrestling fix isn't so bad.

[Soundwarp]

Taker is back baby!!!!

[Burn]

For one of the "big four" PPV's of the year, Summerslam lacked a bit.

I expected more from Hardy/MVP. This could be a good feud if they really run with it, but the match didn't really do what I was expecting.

Glamarella/Kofi-Mickey was what I expected it to be, a run of the mill match with a few shits and giggles from Marella thrown in.

Hardy/Henry for the ECW title I completely missed because I was playing with my nephew.

Punk/JBL I caught bits of, looked like a pretty good match though that GTS at the end was pretty unconvincing. Good that Punk won though.

HHH/Khali was also what I was expecting, a filler feud for HHH until a better opponent comes along. Nothing spectacular about this match.

Cena/Batista was time to hit the shower. Sorry, but I can't watch Batista wrestle, throw him in the mix with Mr Five-moves-of-Doom and the fact it was getting late after a long day at work, well I wanted to be awake for the Hell in a Cell.

Which of course was the match to watch. I expected a bit more carnage but in the end it really cemented Edge as one of (if not the) top wrestlers in the business today. I've loved his transformation in the last few weeks into a complete and utter psycho, and now that he's been "sent to hell" I can't wait to see what will become of him now.

All in all, a fairly mediocre ppv.

[jacksplatt11]

i havent watched wwe in years, since it was wwf and it used to be on sunday nights on channel 10 waaaaaay back in the day.. but with afterburner on 9 lately ive been watching it a bit... good fun.. changed a lot though, it used to just be wwf as far as i can remember, now theres smackdown, raw and ecw.. heapsa new wrestlers.. but slowly catching up on it.. hhh is still my fav from way back when..

one thing though, whats the go with the two different brands? wrestlers from different brands cant fight each other? or just two different shows..

[Pulse]

By having each wrestler competing only on one show, Vince is hoping that the fans will watch all 3 shows weekly to be in the know about everyone & everything... :rolleyes:

Jacksplatt11, Maybe you should give TNA a go? atleast one time... :) (quickplug - Sat's 10pm on Fox8 ;))

[jacksplatt11]

ahh ok i get it... cant complain with more shows i guess.. ahh TNA, just looked it up, a few familiar faces like kevin nash, sting, booker t.. i dont have pay tv though so wont be watching any time soon..

oh and funnily enough, cena is gonna be on madTV.. on now on 9.. in melb anyways

[Bartrim]

I saw a little bit of Raw (I've been missing it heaps at the moment) I'm intrigued by these championship scrambles at unforgiven although I can't see anyone beating Triple H (maybe The Brian Kendrick:p).

I absolutely love Glamourella. Santino is so funny being bossed around by Beth Phoenix:D

[jacksplatt11]

haha THE brian kendrick, he's pretty funny... whats the go with that Ezekiel guy? did he used to be a wrestler? he's huge, he should get in the ring.. but yeah i cant see HHH being beaten, just depends on how the writers write it i guess..

[Scattershot]

Far out Raw was craptacular this week.... boring.

[Soundwarp]

Once again ECW had it's best match on first.

Pro Rasslin' sure has been going through a lull lately... :(

Sure that HBK/Jericho feud has the smarks drooling at the mouth but I honestly haven't felt the desire to watch any WWE or TNA programming for a while... :rolleyes:

Of course I still read all the results (I've got wrestling in my blood :o) but those results just haven't made me wanna watch the programs... :(

I don't know if many of you guys watch TNA but this Sting-storyline kinda has me interested... :)

Isn't it strange how they're trying to book Sting as a heel through this respect angle but the fans refuse to boo him... :D

I hope this won't be leading into another "Millionaire's Club/New Blood WCW-crap storyline" but I've got my fingers-crossed that it develops into something good... :)

Vince Russo.

That is all.

lol :D

Goddamnit I hope Russo doesn't screw this up! You guys may know The Ultimate Warrior is my fav rassler of all time :) but something you may not know is that Warrior & Sting got into the business together in the mid 80's as the Blade Runners...

quick question, cause i only have access to afterburner i dont really get to watch much wrestling stuff, but anyways...

whats up with edge? hes been missing since undertaker choke-slammed him into "hell" in the hell-in-a-cell match yeah? so whats he do now? just go on a bit of a holiday till they include him in a new storyline? or has he been doing other stuff in the wrestling world..

[Scattershot]

I'd say he'd be just having sometime off or to heal some injuries.

With tomorrow being TNA's marque PPV (http://www.tnawrestling.com/component/option,com_wrapper/Itemid,52/), I was wondering if any of you guys will be interested in any of the matches :).

Joe/Sting should hopefully be a good one, Jarrett/Angle & Foley will be full of "ref bumps" ;), I can see Christian taking the fall to AJ & then heading back to Vince :rolleyes: & LAX taking the titles off Beer Money (but I bet all my predictions will be way off... :o).

[Soundwarp]

Nah, but i was shocked as hell to see Mick Foley over there.

[Scattershot]

WHAT! Thats news to me. Far out!

[Bartrim]

WHAT! Thats news to me. Far out!

He got signed on a competitors contract. WWE only had him as a commentator. I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar on thats why JBL is wrestling again.

[Scattershot]

On a side note Batrim, I have a pic very similar to yours at the same bar in Queenstown. Went there for our honeymoon last July.

[Bartrim]

Pretty awesome hey Scattershot. But cold as buggery. How long did you last in there. We lasted 28minutes. The people before us lasted 17.

Back on topic my Motorcity Machine Guns T-Shirt came fromTNA shop.

[Soundwarp]

Wow Hardy and Koslov was a surprise to me......

But then again not really.

[jacksplatt11]

Ezekiel Jackson, what a rig

[Scattershot]

Yeah hes a monster!

I'm liking this Koslov guy atm. Not a fan of Hardy so I was happy he beat him.

[jacksplatt11]

Yeah I don't mind Koslov, he's pretty good, could definitely give HHH a run for his money.. Definitely not a fan of Hardy, he always looks like an idiot with the weird colours in his hair and those stupid beards he grows, but I'll admit he can be exciting at times when he's jumping around off the ropes

[Soundwarp]

I freakin love Koslov.....

Maybe it's his music cause it's like my favourite Rammstein..........

[Scattershot]

I love Rammstein too! I think the whole Russian thing is cool. The whole Rocky 4 "I must break you now" idea, I love it!

[Pulse]

I don't know if any of you guys remember the Aussie Rasslin' scene from back in the day (my old man educated me on it via at-times grainy footage on videotapes) but this morning I turned to the sport section of my Daily Telegragh when I found this on Mario Milano (http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24526197-5017479,00.html) :).

Is Steiner still out with a knee injury? He's one of my favs. I guess you could call me one of his Freaks...lol!

[Burn]

So tough question.

Who's the lamest? Vince Russo and all his gimmick matches in TNA, or Mike Adamle and his "Adalme Originals"?

I really have to believe it's Adamle coming up with these stupid stipulations because there's no way a McMahon could come up with something that stupid.

This week's Raw "gauntlet" match. It wasn't explained, and it seemed to me he made it up on the spot, sure, he was trying to screw over Jericho but it was that badly done.

Back to TNA ... always been a fan of Booker T, his King Booker gimmick in WWE was annoying and I was hoping to see the old Booker in TNA, and we did for a little while. But this whole "Rich African" thing he's got going, bloody awful. And to basically sit there on camera and say "yes, I hunt elephants for their ivory tusks" ... ugh. Who's writing this stuff and why is he going with it?

For the time being, I'd have to say Russo. Russo's been screwing up rasslin' for 10+ years while Adamle's only been known to us Smark's as a screw-up for 6-odd months :D

Exactly. It was so stupid. Of course it favoured the second contestant. Adamele needs better mic skills. He can't build suspense (something a good gm should be able to do) and like you said Burn he can't explain, not just the gauntlet match but anything.

I'm actually preferring TNA at the moment and yes Scattershot Steiner is still injured... But there is always Maple Leaf Muscle :D

The whole young -vs- old angle they're building up in TNA is going to end up on the lame side.

Hell you may as well just make it "TNA Originals" -vs- "WWE/WCW Rejects".

Jarrett says signing Angle was the worst decision he made for the company (may very well be, can't stand Angle). Guess it someone else who hired Russo then.

Anyway, not sure if there are any MMA fans here but I was wondering if anyone was aware that Brock Lesnar took on the Legend Randy Couture today at UFC 91 (http://www.ufc.com/)?

I expected Randy to destroy him but the result left me in disbelief... :rolleyes:

[jacksplatt11]

I was never a huge fan of Lesnar when he was wrestling, and I don't like him one bit in MMA, and the short stint he had in K1..

I remember his first fight in K1, and instead of touching gloves he just hit his opponents hand away. I know they are there to beat each other up, but he could show a bit of sportsmanship...

I haven't seen the fight against Couture yet, but in all his previous ones all he seems to do is rush his opponent and use his size to beat them down. I'd love someone like Aerts or Cro-Cop to just smash him :D

But yeah, I would've expected Couture to destroy him

I'm also a fan of WWE and TNA.

Haha yeah I checked it out before. From what I can gather, Couture always knew he was out sized and was just trying to wear Lesnar down, it was just a matter of time until Lesnar landed a punch/elbow or two and then it was all downhill for Couture from there.

Geez I hate Lesnar, don't ask me why but I just do...

[Scattershot]

Gotta admire the guy though, hes a freakin machine. Love the power of the guy. Glad he won. Good on him.

Looking back on the way in which he left WWE, Sure Vince is a #%*@$! but the way in which Lesnar was built up & invested in and then he proceeded to leave it high & dry - that's wrong...

I so wanted Couture to beat the snot out of him... (The same way in which Mundine has it coming...)

I remember when lesnar had his last match at mania (I think) and everyone chanted "nah nah nah nah.... nah nah nah na, oh hell yeah... GOOD BYE!" as he lost the match and left.

Back to the wrestling, if Smackdown's team of female wrestlers has to job to Raw's team of models it will be the greatest injustice in the history of the world. :p

[Burn]

errr last I checked Raw had Jillian, Mickey and Beth, all of which worked their way up through the Indy circuit and actually had training before getting their jobs.

I think you'll find both sides are evenly matched between "real wrestlers" and bimbos with pretty titles banging 'Taker.

[Beast_Wars_Superior]

errr last I checked Raw had Jillian, Mickey and Beth, all of which worked their way up through the Indy circuit and actually had training before getting their jobs.

The only decent wrestler on Raw's list is Jillian. Beth is totally useless (seriously, she's almost as bad as Khali) and Mickie is just a botch festival who hasn't wrestled a single decent match since her feud with Trish Stratus ended. Candice was good before her injury but she needs more time to shake off that ring rust that has impeded her recent matches. And the less said about Kelly Kelly the better.

Now let's look at Smackdown's list- Michelle, Victoria, Natalya, and Maria. In the past year, all four of these ladies have shown far better in-ring ability than anyone on Raw's team. Maryse is pretty crap, but as Smackdown's worst diva she's still better than Raw's worst diva.


I think you'll find both sides are evenly matched between "real wrestlers" and bimbos with pretty titles banging 'Taker.

See, I don't get why people always whinge about Michelle only getting a title because she's banging 'Taker. Can you honestly watch her matches and conclude that she's not one of the top 3 female wrestlers in the entire company?

[Pulse]

Now that you mention Trish (who also happens to be a Greeko (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trish_Stratus) - just like me ;)), It looks as though her rasslin' itch might need to be scratched again (http://pwtorch.com/artman2/publish/WWE_News_3/article_28062.shtml)... :)

Hopefully she'll be able to teach the others how to rassle again... :D

[jacksplatt11]

I don't mind the Divas, but to be honest, I don't watch them for their wrestling ability :p

[Pulse]

Vince hires Divas for their wrestling skills? Get outta here... :D

[Scattershot]

Wait a minute... Taker is banging Kelly? What happened to his wife SARAH?

[Beast_Wars_Superior]

Wait a minute... Taker is banging Kelly? What happened to his wife SARAH?

Taker's banging Michelle McCool. I'm pretty sure he and his wife seperated before this began. :p

[jacksplatt11]

Yeah, go Edge :D

Mmmmm WWE Divas...

[jacksplatt11]

Jeff Hardy for the win :D

Pretty happy with that, thinking it will probably change hands at Wrestle Mania though...

[Scattershot]

Royal Rumble picks anyone?

Koslov, HHH, maybe orton? Who knows, anyones guess this year.

[jacksplatt11]

I would probably say Orton, but yeah I don't really think there is too clear a choice

[Rampage]

Orton

or

Captain Charisma (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Reso)

[Scattershot]

I didn't want to mention that in case people didnt know but I don't know if he has something to do with another storyline atm or if he could well win the rumble. Have to wait and see. I cant wait for it!

[Burn]

Well it certaintly turned out to be a predictable PPV.

Poor Santino though. Yet some how, almost fitting.

[Scattershot]

That was a crack up. As soon as you saw him walking to the ring with that determined look on his face you knew things were going to go bad for him. Hilarious. I was dissapointed with Koslov's showing but it did become predictable. I picked the Matt Hardy heel turn and loved every second of it. Not a Jeff Hardy fan. That was the highlight of the night... sorry Jericho! lol!

[Bartrim]

It was enjoyable if not predictable. I picked Orton to win, Matt Hardy's heel turn and as soon as I saw Santino coming out I told my brother "He's going to break the Warlords record"

[Burn]

So has anyone else become a Santino fan or am I the only one silly enough?

[Scattershot]

He's probably one of my fav's. Pretty much the only reason I've been watching Raw lately until this Orton/mcmahon feud brewed up. I love his weekly antics and not to mention SSSSSantino's Casa!!! on wwe.com

[jacksplatt11]

I don't mind Santino, I wouldn't say I'm a fan, but he definitely cracks me up

His 1 second Rumble entry/exit was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while, the sly little smile on Kane's face afterwards was priceless. In regards to the Rumble, I saw the Orton win coming like most, but I was also half expecting Christian to come out at some stage. I read somewhere he was in the building but they chose not to bring him out or something

[Bartrim]

Being half Italian my brother and I have been fans of Santino since day 1. We even wore Italian soccer shirts to the last Raw show in Australia and cheered him wildly when he fought hacksaw Jim Duggan... Good times:D

[Burn]

Well I did it, I changed the channel on TNA last night.

The whole Main Event Mafia/Frontline crap has been done before and seems only to serve as a setup for a Sting/Angle feud, while all last night's show seemed to do was make Steiner look like an illiterate idiot, Booker T suffering from A.D.D. and showed Kevin Nash as someone who really didn't want to be there.

[Burn]

After seeing Smackdown last year i've got the itch to see more WWE shows.

So i'm giving serious consideration to seeing Raw this year, and i'm currently leaning towards seeing it in Melbourne.

So who's from Melbourne and would be interested in going with me? (Tuesday 7th July)

[Soundwarp]

Wow no way out had some surprises!!!!

[Scattershot]

I reckon!

Couldnt believe some of it!

[Bartrim]

Well I can't watch wrestling in my house anymore. I was watching TNA the other night and my son came and sat down next to me. After about 5 minutes he got jumped around a bit, fell over and hit his head on the coffee table "like the man on tv":rolleyes:

[Scattershot]

Well, its that time of year... WRESTLEMANIA! I've got Monday off for it. Can't wait! I want HHH to beat orton but dont see it happening. I reckon Stone cold could get involved with y2j match as well or at least show up on the night cause hes being inducted to the HOF. Cena will win for sure. Taker will win but could be a HBK win. Looking forward to that match. Christian to win MITB.

[Bartrim]

Wow Wrestlemania was awesome! Taker vs HBK was great... In fact one of the best matches I've seen in a long time. No shock with Cena or Triple H. Damn near wet myself with JBL. I'm not really one to watch the diva matches but I liked seeing some old fav's (mainly Sunny:D) shame they were barely in there and I laughed so hard at "Santina".

But moment of the night goes to Matt Hardy's twist of fate with Jeffs head in the chair. That was wicked.

[Soundwarp]

Wrestlemania ruled!!!!

[Scattershot]

Yeah Taker V HBK was definetly match of the card. Sensational. I knew Cena would win but I didn't pick HHH. Definetley thought Orton would win that. But I'm not complaining cause he's that DAMN good! lol! CM Punk winning MITB was a bit crap. Santina was hilarious and even funnier the next night oin Raw. Vinny Mac was awesome on Raw and the ending was great!

Urgh...
That is almost as bad as Ron Simmons in a Royal Rumble in the late 90's (Can't remember which one :rolleyes:) Kane whipped him short of the ropes - So 'Farooq' figures he'll just run and throw himself over the ropes, very blatantly obvious though. :p:D

P.S. Batista had as much talent as Cena who has as much talent as Hogan who is a more marketable Ultimate Warrior. :p:D

I read on the bleacher report that one night Batista and Booker T got into a scuffle back stage where basically they had to restrain Booker because he was threatening to put Batista in the hospital and Vince believed he could actually do it because Batista is a muscle bound talentless hack while Booker has some amazing Martial Arts skills.

If WWE manage to sign sting for wrestlemania then that would be awesome too!

[Bartrim]

According to the dirt sheets the other montage is for HBK and HHH to return as evil DX to end Takers Mania streak. Apparently it will be HHH v Taker with HBK as special referee. I hope since HHH is a booker now he doesn't do the arrogant Kevin Sullivan thing and book himself to win. Taker's mania streak should remain undefeated.

Sting?, well that would be interesting but I'd be impressed to see it eventuate. :)

Ooh! - That's a sick angle! :eek:
The best WM, to me anyway, was WM17 and their match was easily equal best with The Rock vs. Steve Austin. :D
I too hope that doesn't happen, being I am a little biased due to me being the Biggest 'Creature of The Night' aka Taker fan! :p:D, as I too believe that Taker's WM record shouldn't ever be broken - It's a record that is easily one of the most historical ones in the entirety of the Pro-Wrestling business. ;):cool:

That is indeed an awesome Chair Shot man and for a WCW 'Mexican Hardcore' match, it wasn't actually all too bad. :eek::p
(That last Powerbomb onto the chairs looked stiff as hell! :eek:)

I remember one where Bubba-Ray hit Taker insanely hard and busted the chair in one shot over his head - Taker's head then immediately donned the 'Crimson Mask', this was back in the original Brothers of Destruction days. :cool:
I can't find the match specifically, but I did find this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qyINb5vCIY) which brought back some fond memories. ;):D

Too Right! it was gold, :D:cool:
It's to my understanding that the USA Network decided to not censor the Rock in any way but in Canada it was courtesy of a time-delay. :)
It'd be interesting to find out whether Fox Sports over here censored it or not. :confused:

[Bartrim]

The Rock was censored over here unfortunately. But the you tube version isn't censored:D. I loved the bit with Michael Cole and the Raw GM's email. That was gold:D

I hope The Rock is telling the truth and he doesn't leave. He isn't the best wrestler (although the WM main event with Austin he had was awesome) but he is definitely the best entertainer.

Hulk Hogan has come out and panned The Rock saying that the WWE spent 5 years building up Cena and in 30 seconds The Rock had the crowd chanting "Cena Sucks". This coming from the guy who held everyone else down and refused to put anyone over. Also for years any male over the age of 13 who watches WWE has been sick of Cena being rammed down their throats. They've just been looking for someone else to cheer for. Now they have him:)

The first thing i thought as soon as he cut the promo was, what a good way to turn Cena heel. May even gain Cena a little more popularity when he makes the switch back to babyface in the future.

Im still gutted i havnt seen the Rumble, its the one ppv a year i purchase and i missed the weekend completly. Nash would have been a shock

heh ... go away you hypocritical old man, your best days are well behind you and no matter how much he may believe in recycling, Vince Russo can't bring them back for you.

Here's the news.

----------------------
Famed US pro wrestler Randy Savage dies in crash
Reuters
Sat, May 21, 2011


FLORIDA, USA - US professional wrestling great "Macho Man" Randy Savage died after a car crash on Friday near his home in Seminole, Florida, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The colorful former champion -- known for his husky voice, gaudy costumes and "oooh, yeah!" catch phrase -- appeared to have lost control of his 2009 Jeep Wrangler at 9:25 a.m. local time, crash investigators said.

He drove over a concrete median into oncoming traffic lanes before crashing head-on into a tree and later died of his injuries at a nearby hospital, a crash report said.

He was 58.

While some media outlets quoted his brother as saying the retired wrestler suffered a heart attack while driving, the Florida Highway Patrol said that could not be confirmed until an autopsy is performed.

The crash was not alcohol-related, authorities said.

The wrestler, whose legal name was Randy Poffo, and his wife, who was a passenger in the car, were both wearing seat belts. His wife was hospitalized with minor injuries.

Once a minor league baseball player, Savage rose to fame as "Macho Man" in the 1980s in the World Wrestling Federation, now known as the WWE (WWE.N). He was considered a charismatic and athletic performer in the choreographed world of professional wrestling and he held numerous championships.

He was "an iconic figure," said hall of fame professional wrestler Dusty "The American Dream" Rhodes on Friday.

Under contract with the World Wrestling Federation from 1985 to 1993, he competed against fellow stars including Hulk Hogan, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He later was a star in the World Wrestling Federation's now-defunct competitor World Championship Wrestling.

His entrance music was "Pomp and Circumstance" and his signature accessories were sunglasses, bandannas and colorful cowboy hats.

His father Angelo Poffo and brother "Leaping" Lanny Poffo also wrestled professionally.

"WWE is saddened to learn of the passing of one of the greatest Superstars of his time," read a statement posted on the WWE site on Friday. "Our sincerest condolences go out to his family and friends."

Savage in recent years lent his voice to characters in animated movies and TV shows.

[mknell]

RIP The Macho Man OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bartrim]

It is a shame about Savage. I still think his match against Ricky Steamboat at wrestlemania 3 is one of the best ever.

A dedication to the late Macho Man. One of the best matches ever.

Apparently Richter not only left the arena but also caught a flight out of New York still in her wrestling gear she was that pissed off. She didn't speak to Vince McMahon until she was asked to be inducted into the hall of fame this year. Long time to hold a grudge.

Or Vince just uses the hall of fame to apologise to past wrestlers he's pissed off.

Wendy Richter was bigger than Hogan in her prime (1984-1985).
You guys must be too young to remember that far back. :P

[Bartrim]

No I remember Wendi Richter in her prime but like now I've never been a fan of female wrestling. I was a fan of the mass of tag teams in the early-mid 80's in the WWF. Brittish Bulldogs and U.S Express were particular favourites.

Naturally I didn't like The Dream Team:p

After the few years of being on these boards, I've noticed no thread on WWE or wrestling in general? C'mon guys, I can't be the only one. Don't be embarrassed to admit that you follow! ;) :p

I was at Wrestlemania XXX in New Orleans this year. Awesome experience!

[Sinnertwin]

Pfft. They threw Taker's legacy out the door by getting him to job to that kumquat , Lesner.

[ITZTRU]

Still not clear who's decision it was to end the streak though. Not sure if Taker's or Vince...?

[yoshi594]

is jericho back? he's the only reason for me to watch wrestling. I love that he brought back his lion tamer near the end of his last run.

[Sinnertwin]

Still not clear who's decision it was to end the streak though. Not sure if Taker's or Vince...?

I'd say it was Vince's to further push Lesner -what's better than defeating the man who was 21-0 on the biggest stage of them all? Ive been a lifelong fan & to see his streak come to an end was dissapointing to say the least

[ITZTRU]

There are hints of Jericho's return but it will only be to further push talent. Not for any kind if title run I don't imagine.

As for taker's streak - if you happened to watch WM XXX, the reaction of the crowd on TV does not nearly reflect the reaction of the crowd in the stadium that night. Hearing 3/4 of the crowd in the arena turn silent and the amount of jaws you could just about hear dropping to the ground was surreal.

Still. As much as I like Lesnar, pushing Lesnar by giving up the streak doesn't make any sense and would be poor judgement on Vince's part if what you say/think is true. There are talks of taker actually wanting Lesnar to be the one to end the streak. If that's true, then who is anyone else to argue?

I can't stand Daniel Bryan. The one thing I wasn't looking forward to - spending all that money to attend WM XXX this year that was otherwise, one of the best events I've ever experienced in my life - was knowing that I would witness Daniel Bryan win the title at WM XXX.

I haven't watched him in a match, but his moveset seems pretty awesome in the games, he brought back the crippler crossface! albeit a variation of it but close enough!

[Bartrim]

.

I just hope that if The Shield completely disintegrate then Triple H doesn't get his shovel out and bury them all individually and we never see them again because I think they all very talented. Reigns definitely has the talent to be a top tier wrestler, Rollins is very gifted athletically and Ambrose has great stick work.

mmm I just youtubed the shield and their finishers...the only member with a good finisher is Ambrose.

Reigns looks like a cross between Edge and Rhyno. Even has their finisher albeit the Gore being slight a variation of the spear.

Rollins finisher is laughable. A flying knee? I saw his Scissor Kick/Axe Kick setup of it and man does it look bad! Makes the Attitude Adjustment look good >.<. I know wrestling has a history with bad finishers but they usually have good setups (The people's elbow, Hogan's leg drop, Edge's Spear, etc)

[ITZTRU]

I don't mind the superman punch that reigns has.

Flying knee? I think you're getting mixed up with Daniel Bryan?

[yoshi594]

The knee to the head thing. It's like the Fame-asser but he just uses his knee.

I guess it kinda looks like the fame-asser. I just got kinda confused with the "knee" description. He kinda just stomps on the back of the head and smashes the head down to the mat.

The vid i saw used clips where the camera made it look like he was doing a triple h knee stomp on their head.

The vid below shows how the move should be sold!

He pretty much slams their head with the force of his dominant foot.

wasn't that hbk's thing though? just like the rock and ric flair. I wonder what goes through the other wrestlers mind when they are in the ring with someone like that.

He really amped it up for that Hogan match. I don't think it's appropriate to type what Hogan was thinking either ;)
Its not like Hogan could carry a match either with his limited repertoire

Lol I actually posted this a couple of years ago :)

I remember the next night on Raw Shawn gave a speech about how Hogan outwrestled him... all very tongue in cheek.

[Sinnertwin]

The bit after the leg drop was my favourite
Outwrestled Shawn? Hahahaha that's gold :D

[Starscream77]

That could never happen, HBK was the best in ring performer of our generation.

Hogan and his dumb Legdrop Of Doom :D

[Sinnertwin]

Hogan and his dumb Legdrop Of Doom :D

Bret Hart loves that move. The poor schlub busts his nut against Yokozuna only to have Hogan come out & bury the big guy in 5 seconds :rolleyes:

http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RObW5Su7zVg

[Starscream77]

But then who didn't Hogan bury!
Macho Man ruled the 80's but all most people remember is bloody Hogan or Warrior

[Sinnertwin]

It's wrestlers like Savage, DiBiase, Hennig, Rude etc that made matches against Hogan & Warrior watchable. Remember Wrestlemania 6 with Hogan & Warrior headlining, belt against belt? Now that was a world class display of technique & finesse

[Starscream77]

So now I am feeling nostalgic I want to watch WM3 - Savage vs Steamboat

So question for anyone ... What would be your dream match including era for each wrestler eg. Mine would be Savage (circa WM3) vs Michaels (circa WM 11)

[Sinnertwin]

I've always wanted to see an Undertaker (Ministry of Darkness) & Jake the Snake VS The Macho Man (Wrestlemania 5) & Shawn Michaels (Wrestlemania 10) in a Tag Team match with Ted as guest ref. So much awesome, i'd be a drooling mess :D

[yoshi594]

mmm I only watched the attitude era and a little beyond that so...

Any match that consists of these wrestlers xD


Chris Jericho (Attitude era)
Eddie Guerrero (WWE Champion reign)
Chris Benoit (Any era)
Dean Malenko (Revolution ERA)

actually maybe

Daniel Bryan (Now)

vs

Chris Benoit (Attitude Era)

Then

Triple Threat

Chris Jericho (Attitude era)
HBK (attitude era)
Sting (Wolfpack era)

and just for fun

Billy Gun (New Age Outlaws)
Road Dogg (New Age Outlaws)

vs

Billy Kidman (Filthy Animals)
Eddie Guerrero (Filthy Animals)

Ugh - I hated Warrior. I was giving him so much shit at WM and even more shit when I was watching him give his speech at Raw the next night. All I kept thinking in my head was "blah blah blah shut up and get out of the ring already."

My cousin and I couldn't believe when he died the next day. Kinda felt guilty after that...

As for my dream matches, I'm a huge Kurt Angle fan...

and i really don't see the big deal with Daniel Bryan.

So Angle vs. Bryan - so that Angle can make Bryan tap. :D

[Sinnertwin]

Warrior was crap. Hogan was crap. But they were & still are fan favourites. Why though is beyond me...

[yoshi594]

couldn't the same be said for the Rock and John Cena? Though the rock isn't as bad but man did he stuff up some awesome moves (His sharpshooter lol and his crossface on benoit).

[Sinnertwin]

Ah, but you see, The Rock & Cena can get both feet off the ground regularly & cut promos that the average mortal can understand ;):p

[yoshi594]

get both feet off the ground regularly? you mean high risk manoeuvres? or jumping off the top of the turnbuckle?

Never liked Cena's promos...I remember he tried to mimick the rock during one of the promos that talked about the wwe legends...man that was hard to watch. Never liked Cena and his standing fireman's carry finisher...

[Sinnertwin]

Cena & Rock are no luchadores, but they're far more athletic than Hogan & Warrior. Sure, the rock has that silly 'people's elbow' but i'd much rather a rock/cena match than hogan/warrior. When Taker chokeslams either one it looks believable, whereas Hogan just falls backwards :rolleyes:

The promos? :D Sure beats " raaaahhh rocket fuel blaaaahhh pilot nosedive raaaaahhhhh feel the power of the warrioooooooooooor!!!!!!!!! *snort*" or "brother brother prayers brother vitamins brother watchyagonnado brother!?!?!"

lol but hogan has his iconic shirt rip! Rock's got the peoples eye brow, and Cena has...You can't see me? Thug life?! O.o

I still remember Rocks over exaggerated sell on Austin's stunner, hate it every time and it'll be forever with us in the video games...

[ITZTRU]

Awwww but I liked when Cena was still practicing thuganomics. I found his promos entertaining. I agree with sinner on hogans "brother" promos. Same thing all the time. And don't get me started on warriooooor.

Austin/rock matches were awesome. It just wouldn't be an Austin/rock match without an oversold stunner :D

[Sinnertwin]

That stunner lol :D
You'd think he got hit by a Mack truck

[Sinnertwin]

Just watching some old WWF & how good were Gorilla Monsoon & Jesse on commentary \:D/

This, too, is awesome - But I think you'll find #11 is the best. ;):D

[Sinnertwin]

And coming in at Number 5 on my best WWF entrances and/or music list is none other than the King himself, Macho Man Randy Savage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia9X6Z66UDg)
i could ramble on about how great Macho was in the ring or his unique promo skills (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klGRVTTntoI), but suffice to say, when Pomp and Circumstances March #1 blared out of the speakers, i was glued to the screen :D
Ooooh Yeaaahhh...

[Sinnertwin]

Running in at Number 4 like a freight train gone wild, the man from parts unknown... The UUUUUUltimate Warrior (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36OHZ51o2qo). Possessing quite possibly the greatest promotional skills (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q46l70mNmCw)ever seen in the WWE beamed straight from Mars, The Ultimate Warrior was on another level... somewhere... out there...*snort* :D:p

[Bartrim]

I enjoyed The Ultimate Warrior vs Macho Man Randy Savage feud. Probably the most entertaining bits were the promos... couldn't understand what either was saying:p

sting!

that was a less than epic debut. They gonna push ziggler as the new face of the company instead of the ever boring John Cena???

I wonder if Sting is gonna be a part timer like Lesnar.

[Bartrim]

So CM Punk has officially signed with the UFC. This should be interesting.

[ITZTRU]

Sting has signed a limited appearance deal. He has 6 appearances on his contract and they already used the first one at Survivor Series. The last would be Wrestlemania or post Wrestlemania Raw.

Good luck building a decent Wrestlemania storyline with only 5 (or 4 if they use him after WM) appearances left.

[ITZTRU]

Hope he gets his ass kicked

[DELTAprime]

Anyone here use the WWE Network? I signed back up to it because I heard Sting is back, I watched Survivors Series to see his return and then went to watch Raw and it's not on there. They haven't even got the episodes leading up to SS on the Network. Whats the deal with the normal shows not being on the WWE Network right away?

[millhouse]

Apparently the Green Ranger wants to take him on.

I think it has something to do with WWE having a contract with whoever shows Raw on their network in the US?

[ITZTRU]

Apparently the Green Ranger wants to take him on.

That'd be a good fight, I'd watch that. JDF is undefeated I'm pretty sure. He's not in UFC though I don't think...

[Bartrim]

He's not. However Dana White has said because Punk is 0-0 he would be getting a fighter with only 3 or 4 fights for his first fight. Green Ranger would be the biggest draw they could use however it might become a bit of a circus which is something the UFC is trying to avoid.

I have the WWE network. That being said I don't watch current WWE content as it is sub par IMO. The Monday Night Wars series is very interesting.

[DELTAprime]

So I just got Foxtel on last week.

Back in the day I was an Austar customer and would watch WWF Raw Is War on Fox Sports. If memory serves that was a 90 minute show (probably because they cut out a ton of ads). So how the hell is it now a 3+ hour show that also has a bonus pre-show? This reeks of WCW Monday Nitro.

All the Hogan press has made me relapse. I haven't watched since the end of the Attitude era (aka the best era) Can anyone give me the cliff notes so I can catch up on the man drama?

-So far I've figured out that Undertaker (yay, my fav) was jobbed to Brock Lesner (boo) and aint happy.
-Cena looks like the new Rock albeit very family friendly, seems like a bro though.
-Some Goldust-esc dude wants to fight the green arrow from TV?
-HHH is the new Vince?
-Chick wrestlers are way hotter.
