WWE, TNA, ROH (Official Thread)

[Nathan Lint]

Yup, apparently he got cheers when he made Cade tap.

Hes got a lot of friends in the WWE, there's a good chance he'll be in the WWE full time soon.

[gilatron5000]

someone on the roh message board said bryan danielson beat lance cade in a dark match on raw last nightI was there. It was a fantastic match. An he's from Oakland, so he really did get a huge pop.

[chokeychicken]

last nights RAW was simply embarrassing.

[chokeychicken]

on a better note, i picked up the ROCK DVD today. 19 matches and all the classic promos. stoked to watch it.

[gilatron5000]

last nights RAW was simply embarrassing.You're not wrong.

A lot of it was a waste of time. Ugh. Although the phone rick roll was enjoyable.

[Nathan Lint]

A lot of it was a waste of time. Ugh. Although the phone rick roll was enjoyable.

I think the problem is really just that they don't have enough time to build up for pay per views around this time each year. They really need to cut back to just 12.

Orton getting hurt probably had something to do with it too. That's why you had matches like Cena/JBL Triple H/Hardy. Once the draft takes place, i'm expecting it to be a lot better. Hopefully get John Morrison, Kenny Dykstra (if he ever comes back), Shelton, and even Kofi some pushes.

[gilatron5000]

I think they need to switch the titles again too. Triple H has been on Raw for AGES, and while I wouldn't want Edge to leave SD yet(unless Taker goes to Raw as well), and while I loathe him, maybe Batista needs to go to Raw with the title.

[AshesAshes]

Going to raw this monday cant wait. Hopefully its a decent show

[HAW]

Did you know how he defeated Cade? I wonder if Danielson is going to keep his finisher...

why on earth would you want such horrendous shitters like them getting pushes



Kennedy, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, Santino, London + Kendrick, CM Punk all need the real pushes



I know hes old but I would love some better promo/mic work on Raw ala Stevie Richards, who is a promo entertaining LEGEND compared to anyone in the WWE on any of the shows.

[mht]

He wrestled a dark match on June 9th edition of WWE RAW from Oakland, defeating Lance Cade via Submission with his Cattle Mutilation finisher.

While I agree with Kennedy, London + Kendrick, Dibiase, I think Cody is only okay at best (or at least what hes shown so far, think he'd be a better heel). Also, CM Punk sucks as a face, and his finisher these days just looks sloppy. Santinos a great talker, but they never let him actually wrestle anymore.

Morrison is turning into one of my favorite wrestlers. Get him away from The Miz and let him shine. Check out some of Dykstras OVW stuff if you want to see why the WWE never really gave him a chance, even if he did have a bad attitude. Also, Shelton ruled in the MITB match.

So I guess I don't really consider any of those guys true shitters. One thing I think we can agree on, get rid of fucking Hornswaggle.

[Nathan Lint]

You know who else fucking rules?
http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Wrestling/2007/10/26/sabin_shelley.jpg
Best Tag Team in wrestling right now. They need to keep these guys together.

[Kif]

Shame they just died in the middle of their shot at the titles. I love them, especially Shelley. Dude can seriously wrestle when he has the chance too.

[nightskies]

i was just watching shelley, sabin, and sonjay vs blk out last night from king of trios last year. i love all 3 of them. sonjay dutt can be pretty awesome too but of course tna had to stick him in that horrible wedding storyline.
and am i the only one who hates santino? i don't think he should get a push at all, he's such a bad wrestler.

[mht]

hes not there for wrestling skills and there are tons worse than him. he is there because everyone else sucks on the mic for WWE.

[Kif]

Yes you are the only one who hates Santino. Dude is a god on the mic. Everything he says turns to gold.

[HAW]

Muhammad Hassan was the man who corks the crowd perfectly imo...

[nightskies]

bump

[Kif]

This thread is always dead nowadays. Wonder where everyone went.

[TellYourFriends]

I haven't been watching as much as I normally do. I got pretty decent tickets to a WWE House show here next month though. Pretty excited for that.

I've been pleased with TNA lately. Glad they are finally pushing AJ Styles as a face again.

[nightskies]

Ya i don't know where everyone went. I haven't been following wwe that much and i've still been kind of following tna. it's not that good but hopefully they do a good job with the world x cup. I've also still been following ROH and Chikara but i think I'm going to have to stop following one of them for a little while because it's getting to expensive keeping up with all these dvds.

[AshesAshes]

Just got back from Raw, the crowd was basically all Cena fans. Me and my friend got booed for yelling Cena sucks that was awesome. The place went ape shit when Ric Flair came out that was unexpected and easily the highlight of the night.

Todd Grisham, walked around the stadium all night long giving out money. My friend got 400 dollars for doing a Jeff Hardy impression. After the show I met Melina and Paul Burchill really nice people.

[gilatron5000]

wow, what was with the long close up of flair and jericho?

"you're taking the mic right? you're taking the mic right?"

Then Flair takes the mic.

lame.

[AshesAshes]

wow, what was with the long close up of flair and jericho?

"you're taking the mic right? you're taking the mic right?"

Then Flair takes the mic.

lame.

Hahaha, I was like what the fuck the whole time that happened. It didnt bother me any I was so pumped up to see Flair I didnt care.

[chokeychicken]

so, RAW was very interesting. i am stoked to see jericho as a heel. its the first time in a long time that i have been excited about the direction of my favorite wrestler. i've always thought ever since that fantastic debut with the rock that jericho makes a better heel and he has said himself many times that he enjoys being a bad guy a lot more. so tonights promo/match was a step in the right direction i think...i am really glad this entire hbk/batista/injury/flair angle actually had a point besides just being he said she said.

i didn't get to see the ending to RAW because the show went like 20 minutes over and I had DVR'd it, but i read that lance cade and cena got involved in the match. if that's the case, it looks like they are trying to elevate cade into a major heel roll, possibly because orton wil be out longer than expected. while i haven't been extremely impressed with cade thus far, i think he has some potential and i'm excited to see that.

and while i still HATE the mcmahon money thing and how corny it is, this weeks RAW was worlds better than last weeks. a few interesting things going on.

[Co and Ca]

Cade ran out and Cade/Jericho pounded on HHH. Cena made a rescue attempt but he ended up getting his ass kicked. Im guessing the show ended with Jericho standing between Cena/HHH with his arms in the air. After the cameras stopped rolling HHH and Cena did their finishers on Jericho.

I agree, I love seeing Jericho as a heel he is fantastic as one. People where throwing shit at him tonight it was hilarious.

[chokeychicken]

not as much as coheed and cambria.

it is hilarious to see the fan transition from face to heel; they literally cheer him one minute and boo the next.

i am pumped to see jericho as a heel. he's already got plenty of heat just by being a douche bag.

[Kif]

So, who's getting drafted tonight? I'm predicting:

Raw: Batista, CM Punk, Vladimir Kozlov
Smackdown: John Cena, Umaga, John Morrison
ECW: Paul London, Murdoch

Oh yeah, got Tag Wars 2008 today. Age of the Fall/Murder City is brilliant. Glad to see Shelley get royally fucked too.

[chokeychicken]

as long as Jericho stays on RAW, I'm happy. I've got ringside seats to the RAW before Summerslam and I want to see him live.

[Kif]

Wow my predictions are out the fucking window. So far it's:

Raw: BOOYAKA BOOYAKA, CM Punk (woot woot)
ECW: Matt Hardy
SD!: Meth Hardy

Should've known they'd save all the jobbers until after the draft episode of Raw.

[mht]

they cannot be fucking serious sending Jim Ross to Smackdown, I am going to fucking stab the writers for this shit.

[blimpcityhero11]

JR to Smackdown? Fuck thattttttt...

[Kif]

They've tried breaking JR and King up so much, and it's never fucking stuck. I heard Adamle is going to Raw, which sucks too. His whole "I don't know what I'm saying" thing was funny when it was genuine. Now they just feed him lines and you can tell straight away he's being told to act like a retard.

EDIT: Fuck this shit. Cole on Raw?

[mht]

i cant watch Raw without JR and I cannot listen to fucking Micahel Cole, and I am always out on fridays to even bother watching Smackdown.


What garbage.

[Kif]

Rey and Cole on Raw make me want to watch Smackdown more. At least now they have JR/Foley.

[mht]

Yea so far Smackdown is more appealing.. lol

[blimpcityhero11]

These money segments are killing me...

[mht]

great we have to see this idiot shake ropes on monday, lol @ edge's face and waving goodbye to him.

[blimpcityhero11]

Great... We have Eddy from Tekken v.s. JBL tonight.

[mht]

lol it's so sad ECW has the biggest terrible pile of shit wrestlers lol

[mht]

welp. I'm never watching Raw again. no JR no Triple H no Kennedy.... what fucking idiots.

[mht]

holy fucking LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLOLO LOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL please tell me someone else is watching Raw lolollllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

[nivek87]

first time watching wrestling in so many years, what the heck is going on haha

[mht]

he called triple h by his REAL NAME lololololol

[mht]

absolute fucking madness LOLOLLLLLLLLLL

[blimpcityhero11]

he called triple h by his REAL NAME lololololol

WHO THE HELL IS PAUL?!?

And what is this crap? Did they not learn from "Who killed Vince McMahon?" I'll bet Super Crazy is behind it... Because he's super. And he's crazy.

[nivek87]

what was the point of that?

[mht]

WHO THE HELL IS PAUL?!?

And what is this crap? Did they not learn from "Who killed Vince McMahon?" I'll bet Super Crazy is behind it... Because he's super. And he's crazy.


He called Triple H by his real first name, Paul, and Triple H did a great acting job just like the rest of those wrestlers all of a sudden coming together for Vince like that when a month ago they hated/made fun of him.

[mht]

and I have no idea what the point of that nonsense was, but I fucking laughed hard.

[gilatron5000]

i like how the WWE pretends that Smackdown and ECW are still separate brands.

And yeah, that shit was funny as hell.

[blimpcityhero11]

He called Triple H by his real first name, Paul, and Triple H did a great acting job just like the rest of those wrestlers all of a sudden coming together for Vince like that when a month ago they hated/made fun of him.

Haha I know... I'm just kidding. That was undoubtedly the most awkward ending to a Raw ever. This should be an annual thing. Raw's Annual "Attempt at Mr. McMahon's Life" Night...

[chokeychicken]

that shit just pissed me off.

i'm more pissed that JR went to smackdown, however.

wow. i haven't been this mad about wrestling in a long time.

[mht]

yea I am not happy about what I liked about Raw going to Smackdown, and I never have time to watch Smackdown because of its shitty time slot.

[blimpcityhero11]

yea I am not happy about what I liked about Raw going to Smackdown, and I never have time to watch Smackdown because of its shitty time slot.

Smackdown back to Thursdays would help them so much...

[mht]

Smackdown on any fucking day but Friday at prime time 8 o clock would help all of us who go out at bars friday night.

[makeasound]

yea I am not happy about what I liked about Raw going to Smackdown, and I never have time to watch Smackdown because of its shitty time slot.
I'm new to this thread, but I basically came in to say exactly what you said.

The reasons I watched Raw were HHH, Jericho, Jeff Hardy, and the way JR and King called the shots. Only one left is Jericho, and as an overall product Smackdown sucks.

Them splitting the commentary was one of the worst ideas the company has ever had.

[Nathan Lint]

Chances are Triple H will go back to Raw like he always does.
Pretty much the point of this draft was to give them some more big names. I for one was fucking sick of seeing the variation of Edge, Undertaker, Batista for the title. So Jeff Hardy, Umaga, and Kennedy going there make sense. But everything truly depends on what they do to Triple H. MVP is probably about to do a program with Edge soon before the Undertaker comes back.

As for Raw, Mysterio will get hurt again and either sit out another 5 months or just retire. He hasn't been sweet since WCW.
CM Punk is meh to me. I saw this coming because they weren't gonna keep him on ECW, but he's so lame when he's not a heel, making fun of people for not being straight edge. lol
Batista is another no care for me, we'll see some more matches against Cena, Orton etc. He needs to go away.
Kane is also a huge WTF. They take him from a place where hes held his first "world" title in 11 years to place him back on the Raw midcard. What a load of shit.

ECW got screwed, they need to do a supplemental draft so they get someone. Lets just hope none of the draftees this year get released for doing more roids or kill their families.

The Black Pope (Elijah Burke) needs to come back to TV so ECW doesnt have to keep doing variations of Shelton vs. Kofi, and making Mike Knox look like a hardass when he's clearly just the WWE's replacement for A-Train.

This show has given me initiative to watch Smackdown, but none to make me care about Raw nearly as much.

[chokeychicken]

i cannot believe they split up JR and the King. those two have called almost every single episode of RAW together for the last 10 or 15 years. its like a monday night tradition. it definitely ranks up there with one of the companys worst decisions, and will probably be the deciding factor in me selling the ringside seats i have for RAW in august instead of using them.

[DaveFeelsRight]

[Kif]

I love how ECW only got one pick. They might as well just rename it Heat.

Kinda funny that Punk is getting moved up to Raw when everyone good is moving to SD!. OK so HBK and Jericho are there, but still, now we have to put up with Batista and Rey.

I thought Cena would move to SD! instead of Triple H as well. Guess he got tired of working Mondays.

EDIT: Oh god if this means Triple H is dropping the title this weekend I'm gonna have to stab Vince.

[makeasound]

I think the titles are going to switch promotions.... Batista is going to win and bring that title to Raw, and HHH will retain and bring that title to Smackdown.

But I do have to wonder what's going to happen with the ECW and US belts.

I am happy that the HHH vs Hardy program they were starting to tease might actually happen still, just because it gives HHH a new opponent instead of Cena or Orton rotating every single PPV.... it's getting a little (or a lot) old to pay for essentially the same match over and over.

[Kif]

I'm thinking the same thing too actually, which is going to be so weird. If the titles change hands on Sunday, are the champions switching brands too?

This whole thing is weird.

[mht]

Triple H not on Raw ruins everything. Raw currently has nobody talented behind the mic to cut a promo besides Santino...

[chokeychicken]

so WWE didn't tell Jim Ross that he was moving to Smackdown until it happened live on RAW last night. how low can you fucking go?

Ross is contemplating retiring. i don't blame him.

[Kif]

He said on his blog he's going to stick it out, but not do any post-production shit on Thursdays. After being lowjacked like that I can't blame him. Still I'm looking forward to JR/Foley.

[mht]

fucking Michael Cole on Raw I want to blow my brains out.

[mht]

oh and the way that shit was picked, what the fuck was it... computer random? writers picking?


I liked that shit when the gms from each brand would come out and pick themselves, that screen draft shit on the titantron like it was a video game was so fucking lame. it made you think there were fucking idiots back there making those picks, like who authorized them.

[AshesAshes]

Raw sucked ass last night moving JR was a crock of shit. I was hoping they would move Cena to SD as well not HHH. Batista getting his head busted open was awesome, what the fuck was with Cades hair cut? SD is a lot more appealing now, I will have to DVR it and watch it saturday mornings or something.

[nightskies]

- Now on to the things that bothered me. I couldn't have been the only one who noticed Batista and Big Show doing the famous Royal Rumble finish spot Chris Benoit used to win the Royal Rumble. That in itself isn't that bad but they did it on the one year aniversary of the Benoit family tragedy. Unbelievable.
- The other thing that bothered me was the Vince McMahon angle to close the show. As an angle itself I would have been fine with it, but WWE did this angle 8 days after a man really DIED at a TNA PPV from a stage/scaffolding colapsing after the show. This can't be a coincidence can it?

http://www.stormwrestling.com/tvthoughts.html

[AshesAshes]

http://www.stormwrestling.com/tvthoughts.html

Thats retarded,they're thinking way to hard on that one.

[TellYourFriends]

Still don't know how to feel about all the changes. No J.R. really bums me out. I can't remember the last time I watched Smackdown and I doubt these changes will help that. If anything I may just not watch Raw either.

[gilatron5000]

Triple H wanted to switch to SD! to spend more time with Stephanie and the baby.

also, my friend caught it at my house tonight(I recorded it) and his first reaction was: "Is McMahon faking his own death again?"

[Nathan Lint]

I wonder what's going to happen with the Supplemental Draft.

My guess is that they're going to send Shannon Moore to ECW.
London And Kendrick or Cryme Tyme might go to Smackdown to give Miz and Morrison some more competition.
Dykstra might make the move to ECW.
I could see Jamie Noble doing the same.
Michelle McCool to Raw, Layla to Smackdown.

[Kif]

Triple H wanted to switch to SD! to spend more time with Stephanie and the baby.

Haha. I hope it's Regal. It would be classic when he comes back. Killing the owner of WWE so he can be King again.

[chokeychicken]

Triple H wanted to switch to SD! to spend more time with Stephanie and the baby.



not sure where you're getting your information from. HHH had no idea he was going to SD and tore up the locker room after RAW, he was so angry. says Dave Scherer.

[Kif]

I tend to take all backstage wrestling news with a shaker of salt. It's tabloidism at it's finest for the most part.

[mht]

those supplemental picks made raw worse lololol

[AshesAshes]

Haha, Jamie Noble is still around? Him and that tough enough broad had a awful gimmick for a while

[Kif]

Smackdown is an uber show now haha. ECW got pretty good as well I think. Finlay will kill people on that show.

[Nathan Lint]

Here's the Supplemental Draft Results:
TO FROM
12 ECW Mark Henry SmackDown
13 Raw Jamie Noble SmackDown
14 SmackDown Trevor Murdoch Raw
15 SmackDown Big Daddy V ECW
16 Raw Deuce SmackDown
17 SmackDown D.H. Smith Raw
18 ECW Hornswoggle SmackDown
19 ECW Super Crazy Raw
20 Raw Chuck Palumbo SmackDown
21 SmackDown Brian Kendrick Raw
22 Raw Matt Striker ECW
23 SmackDown Maria Raw
24 SmackDown Shelton Benjamin ECW
25 ECW Finlay SmackDown
26 SmackDown Carlito Raw
27 Raw Layla ECW
28 Raw Kofi Kingston ECW

ECW got torn wide open.

[makeasound]

Currently, I am none-too-pleased with the draft. WTF at them splitting London & Kendrick.... those two were the most entertaining tagteam left in the WWE IMO.

To me it looks like they were trying to fix Smackdown's ratings before the network-switch by turning the other two programs upsidedown. Bad move.

Yup, I just thought it was cool how they changed the titantron to SAVE_ME

[mht]

big Kofi win on that shitty Jericho.


Awesome.


Don't care about the other matches, CM Punk is on the Great American Bash poster, so I am pretty sure he either cashes in the Mitb or gets involved in a championship fued this month.

[gilatron5000]

PUNK WINS! PUNK WINS! PUNK WINS!

lol.

[mht]

did punk win tonight only to have to defend it again?

[gilatron5000]

Looks like. I'm a little behind. I'm catching up though.

[mht]

I can really get behind WWE right now

Punk Champ
Kofi holding the IC
Santino being great
Chody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr.


shit rules, get into it.

[gilatron5000]

Punk still hasn't gotten over with me yet, but anything is better than Batista.

I'm down with the rest of that though.

[Vincewithouthee]

Best opening to Raw in a long, long time. Great to see Punk as champ as well. I thought they were gonna give JBL the title at first but they made that out to be way too obvious.

Hopefully Raw stays this way for a long while.

[mht]

I will enjoy Raw if it stays this way for the rest of 2008. No doubt.

[Vincewithouthee]

I will enjoy Raw if it stays this way for the rest of 2008. No doubt.

Yeah plus tonight was something new and fresh which is why it's so much better than the usual same old shit that we have seen the past couple years with Cena, Orton, HHH, etc.

[mht]

I liked the use of the mid cards, then the mid cards in main event status with some main eventers


kept everything fresh, new use of wrestlers in certain situations, giving them possible storylines. awesome stuff.

[WTG]

Wow, that was amazing. When Edge came out, I thought that there was a chance Punk would bring the world title back to RAW, but that was just AMAZING! Punk, Kofi, Dibiase, Rhodes, and Mickie are running the show right now, and it's amazing. Granted, it is also anarchy with the likes of JBL, Batista, Cena, Mysterio, and Kane bucking for power as well, but the lack of a brand leader is leading to some very entertaining chaos. PUNK WINS PUNK WINS PUNK WINS!!!!

[mht]

if they fired all those over the hill wrestlers and stale wrestlers and let the young runs run the wwe, and started a youth movement, and stop trying to hold onto these old wrestlers that were around for the last prime/amazing wwe era with the rock/stone cold etc etc... the wwe would rule again

[Signals Corrupted]

What the fuuuuuuuck. This is awesome. CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK! That's amazing.

[Kif]

Raw is officially fucking awesome again even after losing so much talent.

[last light]

Would love a Punk/Edge or Punk/Jericho feud asap.

[mht]

dfc_-fhdivo

[mht]

best pop I heard in a long time on Raw, just fucking constant cheers and people on their feet when he ran out with the MiTB to cash it.


Felt like the Rock's fans.

"Monday night is the Animal's playground now!"

Ugh shut the fuck up Cole.

[last light]

I wonder how long they'll actually go w/ Punk/youth. I can't imagine them staying with these guys if there is any drop in ratings whatsoever.

[mht]

Punk is the #1 merch seller. I doubt there is gonna be any ratings drop

[Kif]

Punk is the #1 merch seller. I doubt there is gonna be any ratings drop
WWE Shop disagrees. He'll sell more with the title run though, and it will be awesome. Punk promos everywhere!

[last light]

Hopefully they let him cut some good promos. I'd also love to see a heel turn, but he actually has a decent lineup of opponents as a face.

[AshesAshes]

"Monday night is the Animal's playground now!"

Ugh shut the fuck up Cole.

Hahaha, exactly what I thought

[Vincewithouthee]

Punk should open Raw next week and do a promo, agreed with the promos. I'd like to see him hold the title for a while and a heel turn would be sweet but i'll take him as a face. I just hope he doesn't turn out like Orton did with his first title "reign" that was utter garbage. I don't think that's gonna happen though.

It's about fucking time they have a youth movement going now. Looks like this is what this draft was intended for, for Raw that is. It looks like they're really trying to get the ratings up for Smackdown with HHH (which it's doing).

[cahrishurr]

I dont even know half the guys in the WWE anymore ive been out of it for so long thus my Stone Cold avatar

[gilatron5000]

Damn the draft for making me attempt to watch ECW again.

[Dix_Punk]

Man, WWE is getting good again

[mht]

welp, we were fooled/was a fluke because this weeks raw was absolutely fucking horrendous. way to fuck it up writers.



this whole cheesy "raw" is "chaos" angle they are taking. holy fucking terrible.

[loj]

welp, we were fooled/was a fluke because this weeks raw was absolutely fucking horrendous. way to fuck it up writers.



this whole cheesy "raw" is "chaos" angle they are taking. holy fucking terrible.


honestly, i never saw anything truly good coming from a Punk title reign. tonight further affirmed that belief.

now we have a Batista/Punk headline for a ppv that's generally a warm up for summerslam anyway, but i really don't see how it can lead to anything good.

it would be a remarkable jump in ability for CM Punk to straight up defeat Batista at the ppv. if so, the writers would have to do some remarkable stuff in August to spark up a decent rivalry for the main event at SS, unless they just throw together some garbage 3-way/4-way contest.

and if Batista wins ... *shudders* ... blah. the man is just extremely boring (look it, i'm yanking on the top rope and yellingggggg), and has never/cannot be/will not be a decent, let alone great, champion. and then what -- Punk vs Batista rematch at SS, or some sort of 3-way/4-way?

i'm holding my breath for a dramatic turn of events.

[mht]

this whole Jon Cena with his two black sidekicks nonsense... lol so bad.

[mht]

you have Cody Rhodes and Diabiase, TAG CHAMPS... and you can't even fucking work them in on a card? What a joke.


Kofi Kingston second to the last match against... ... .. Charlie Haas??!?! like are you serious, did what 10 wrestlers show up tonight, nobody else was fucking backstage?! The talent pool must be slim in the Raw lockerroom. Help is hard to find. Time to sign some more TNA/ROH garbage.

i actually thought impact was pretty good last night. it's been a lot better the past couple weeks and victory road is looking like it could be really good too.

[gilatron5000]

lol @ the end of Raw.

[TellYourFriends]

lol @ the end of Raw.I agree.

I went to the house show last Friday. It was a blast, first time I'd been in forever.

[mht]

that ending of raw was the most horrendous ending I have seen in a long, long time. I at least laughed when that shit fell on Vince and Vince starting calling for Triple H by his real name lol, but last night... was just so fucking bad.

[WTG]

Last night was just bad all around...why would they book CM Punk like that? They pretty much stripped him of all the credibility he has built up in his two years with WWE. On top of that, after RAW aired, apparently they had a dark match Batista vs Punk, and Batista won in a minute. Ridiculous...

[mht]

lolol

[TooLateF0rRoses]

evan bourne (or matt sydal as i knew him prior to wwe) is one of the most athletic guys i have seen come into the WWE in a long time. His shooting star press in unmatchable.

[chokeychicken]

nobody will top billy kidman's shooting star press.

[chokeychicken]

cannot BELIEVE they are giving away batista/cena at summerslam. that should be an epic WM showdown.

[gilatron5000]

lol. I can't get over fricking Adamle.

[Kif]

Fuck, I was hoping Regal would return as GM. But this is still awesome.

[pianomanfan021]

the heat on adamle is almost as bad as the heat on vickie guerrero. should be interesting. and yeah the summerslam cena/batista match is def a rushed fued...def WM quality, as mentioned above.

[chokeychicken]

i just don't understand why WWE has a problem with guys indirectly feuding for a few months before actually giving us the match. that's why Austin/Rock matches were so epic; we waited months/years to see them.

its the same thing with HBK/Undertaker; they should have sparked a feud after the Rumble when Taker cost HBK the match (or vice-versa), and they could indirectly feuded and had a huge match at Summerslam.

Won't happen. Because all feuds have to begin and end within a 3 month term. Jesus.

[Chainmail Vest]

Ha ha, Adamle as GM. When he assigns matches, he should get the names wrong. Like steel fence match in stead of cage, etc.

[thespearkid]

Last night's Raw was the first episode I've seen in months. It didn't suck too hard from my perspective. A lot more new guys than I expected to see. Could've gone with seeing Batista and Cena though.

[mht]

all I want is JR back to announcing on RAW, is that so hard to ask for? fucking WWE. idiots

[TooLateF0rRoses]

nobody will top billy kidman's shooting star press.

where his was good, matt sydal's is ten times better. He was sick in ROH and will most likely be underused in WWE after people get tired of seeing that move. I on the other hand, could watch his tuck back, shooting star press all day. people dont realize how talented he is. Another thing, did you notice the crowd have no idea who D'Lo Brown is? haha where have the old fans gone? oh wait, they stopped watching cause WWE has been lame the past 3 years.

[chokeychicken]

yeah, i think D'LO expected a reaction and he got ZERO heat. nobody had a clue who he was.

[nightskies]

i've never bought a pwg dvd or seen a full match but i got pwg sells out the other day. i got it for $10 at best buy. 3 discs and 9 hours, can't beat it.

also, 3 days until death before dishonor. i can't wait, this card looks so good.

[mht]

holy fuck I feel like I am watching an Indianapolis Colts game, they are pumping the crowd with noise. How lame.

[mht]

good pop for my boy Kofi at least.

[thespearkid]

Kofi impresses me.

Um, why is this Cena vs. Batista match being hyped to all hell when it's obvious from last week's non-pop that no one really cares?

[makeasound]

The last thing I want to see at Summer Slam is JBL getting a title shot.

CM Punk vs. Jericho would have been worth something. JBL bores me more-and-more every time I see him on screen.

I'm not stoked for this PPV at all.

[chokeychicken]

JBL needs to take Foley's job at the announcing booth on Smackdown. He's out of shape, he's lame, and he sucks in the ring. And the million dollar man Pt II just isn't interesting to me. Give my man Jericho a great match against CM Punk -those two could put some things together.

also, huge WHAT THE FUCK at giving Cena/Batista the tag titles. They were just starting to do a great job building up Cody & Co. what in the world are they going to do with those belts?

[TooLateF0rRoses]

WWE is making some retarded moves. They built up the whole kane storyline so it was interesting only to have it die down. hopefully next week will be interesting in terms of that. its the only thing i tune in for.

JBL wasn't bad doing commentary... I agre he needs to go back to it. He can't perform at the level of the younger stars and needs to get out sooner than later.

And maybe the WWE thought giving the titles to those two would make people care about Summer Slam? Didn't work on me, I enjoy watching DiBiase/Rhodes. Hopefully they can get the titles back and hold them awhile after this storyline burns out between Cena and Batista.

[thespearkid]

God. I can't think of any two people in WWE I care about less than Cena and Batista.

[makeasound]

Cena is alright... he can cut hilarious promos and can be entertaining in the ring (although it seems at times like his character has been done in other variations to death).

Batista is just bland at this point.

...randomness here but does anyone else who watches ECW have as hard a time telling Matt Striker's and Todd Grisham's voices apart when Striker "fills in" for Tazz? It confuses the Hell out of me.

[chokeychicken]

i really hope they do something excellent with undertaker/edge at summerslam

[Nathan Lint]

Whose excited for Undertaker/Edge tonight?

[TooLateF0rRoses]

Summerslam = Horrible

[2 fly and shy]

Summerslam was so incredibly terrible. All the matches were slow and uninteresting.

And the night ended with Undertaker weakly chokeslamming Edge through the ring (how original) and then flames came out of the hole. Spooky! :hitself:

[Kif]

So hey for the few people who follow TNA (If you are one of them, please stop), check out this.

http://www.whoissuicide.com

OH SNAP MYSPACE GOT HIJACKED!

[nightskies]

what

[Kif]

what
TNA were doing some gay viral ads to promote a new wrestler or something, they took it down for some reason. Then another wrestling forum remade it and stole the URL, so now the website (Which TNA owns) links to the hijacked Myspace.

[nightskies]

haha. i read something about this somewhere. it's supposed to be linked to the new video game or something and suicide is kaz with a mask or some shit? sounds pretty lame.

[gilatron5000]

yeah, they created a character in a mask specifically for the video game, and is putting Kaz behind the mask.

TNA needs a new creative team. Or something.

[nightskies]

bump wtf

[Kif]

Fuck los ice creams, smash bros all the way!

[nightskies]

i'm down with the smash bros

[Kif]

Also heard Colin is busting out RKOs now. Just when I thought he couldn't get any greater.

[nightskies]

haha i did not hear that. awesome.

[TellYourFriends]

I'm kind of losing interest, but I caught the Evan/Rey vs Nitro/Miz match a few weeks ago and got goosebumps when Evan did his Shooting Star Press. That was the first time I saw him and it was insane!

[Broden Terry]

WWE is making some retarded moves. They built up the whole kane storyline so it was interesting only to have it die down. hopefully next week will be interesting in terms of that. its the only thing i tune in for.

They fucked that up big time. Again.
I stopped watching when Kane pulled Rey's mask out of that sack. I've been meaning to follow up and see what eventuated with that but I don't feel the need to be disappointed again.
I'm over the WWE creative team.

[stonecoldnimrod]

i just got my hands on great presale tickets for the show. this will be the fourth wrestlemania i will be at. anyone else here goin??

[colorlesscliche]

I am.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Be a man. Watch real punches at an mma event instead.

Haha

[drudo182]

Nope. Sorry Stone Cold.

[B-Bones]

LOL people still watch wrestling?

[drudo182]

StoneColdNimrod does.

[ClemTiger0408]

I mean really?

I hope you are less than 17 otherwise you should be completely ashamed for watching wrestling.

[domotime2]

woah woah woah thats not fair..... wrestling for a long time was really really awesome, and i stil watch it from time to time. It just died on me because it got bad, not because i got older.

but no, ha im not going to wrestlemania, id love to go to one some day. ive gone to Royal Rumble, and Summerslam and thats it

[Ailite]

On a semi-related subject, I can't wait to see The Wrestler

[princesschad]

One day...

[drudo182]

On a semi-related subject, I can't wait to see The Wrestler

Now, someone is finally talking with some sense.

And I bet StoneColdNimrod is MovieManCorey.

[Gavcartoonpants]

CM Punk has dragged me back into wwe it's not half bad at the moment
