The Wrestling Thread

[Razzmatazz]

I enjoyed the Rock's promo at the start, although I was excited at the prospect of John Cena actually being in his house lol. Funny with the kid thing, he acted well! Then the Great One proving he didn't use teleprompters and just staring in the camera giving The Miz some. Brilliant.

The Michael Cole thing with JR was kinda funny, poor JR, I didn't expect Swagger to actually hit him.

Randy Orton is sooooooo boring, he has no personality now. His match with Mason Ryan was shit. I'm not sure how they can build this match up with Punk more in the coming weeks, but I hope there is something more to come as there is no title or anything on the line.

Sheamus I am glad he won, he is one of my favourites. Daniel Bryan put on a good match with him and I hope Bryan doesn't get forgotten about now. He is one of, if not the best wrestler they have.

The Vickie / Trish thing was OK I guess, don't understand this Snooki nonsense though. Jersey Shore is trash, I don't think it caught on here in the UK like the States but seems a bit random having her involved. I did laugh at the Vickie Rolling Stone cover though! Glad that Vickie is on Raw, nobody gets heat better. I also hope this sets up a John Morrison / Dolph Ziggler feud as they are my two favourites in WWE at the moment. It's about time they shined and they could have some legendary matches. Did anyone else hear Dolph shouting "What are you doing Morrison, you're not a woman!" Genius!

John Cena vs Del Rio was alright, Del Rio has got a ridiculous push but I do enjoy him. The Miz had me fooled when The Rock's music came on, and he continued to impress on the mic. Still don't think he has many big hitting moves to be the headliner at WM though. Can anyone tell me what happened after Cena got suplexed on the ramp at the end of Raw as the one I taped off Sky Sports cut off.....

actually Mason Ryan was boring. i expected more from him...he looks lost in the ring with a Randy Orton.

When Sting came back to TNA, they used B&W-ish montages to hype his return; extremely similar to the Johnny Cash ones that lead to the Undertaker's return. Everyone knew TNA was merely biting off of the WWE's idea.

TNA also brought in two members of the Jersey Shore a week or so ago onto the show, (probably in attempt to boost their already meager ratings.) WWE saw this and decided to bring in Snooki, (easily the most recognizable character on the show,) in retaliation to TNA's "sincerest form of flattery."

And now we have Snooki in a match at Wrestlemania, and Raw made front-page headlines for most sports and entertainment columns by having her on the show. Whether we hate Snooki on the show or not, it ended up as great press for the WWE.

And now I fully expect sevin0sevin to pop in at some point with a cool pic or video

is this video "COOL" enough..

and for good measures...

I do love Trish, as I do a lot of the WWE's Canadians. I am not used to her new hair color yet, but I do tend to prefer girls with dark hair so it works for me.

LOL, nice.

Yeah, I forgot the Drew Carey thing. I like the guy, but Hall of Fame......no, just no.

@Razzmatazz
I think Miz did a bit more trash talking, saying something along the lines of, "C'mon, get up Cena. Give them what they want. Don't you hear them". Then I think he took Cena over to some object at the top of the ramp that looked like big WWE letters if I rememberly correctly, and bashed Cena's head into it. He might have done that more than once actually. The show ended with Cena lying there and Miz looking down on him

Between what the Rock and the Miz did to him, this must have been Fuck Cena week. I don't think Cena even got any mic work in this week

Did anyone see Kali's back bleeding after Miz beat him with the chair? Was that a blade job? I thought they didn't do that sort of thing anymore. Miz was just brutal this week

But WWE stole the idea from WCW years before. That's precisely why so many people thought Sting was coming to WWE. Because Undertaker's promo looked so much like the promo that Sting had for his big return at Starrcade vs. Hogan for the WCW WHC.

And guess who ran WCW at the time? Eric Bischoff. Guess who's running TNA right now? Eric Bischoff. So who stole what from who?

In regards to Drew Carey joining the WWE HoF: It's a bunch of bullcrap. How does Drew Carey even remotely deserve to be there? I don't think any guest-hosts or non-wrestling celebrities should be inducted into the HoF. Drew Carey's induction just makes the whole WWE HoF a complete joke. And even if I was okay with inducting non-wrestling celebrities into it, I sure as hell wouldn't have picked Drew Carey. What about Mr. T or Mike Tyson, both of which had a much bigger impact on the WWE than Drew Carey and both of which are legitimate athletes at least.

Are you serious? The Sting promo that WCW used showed his face, showed Hogan. It was a promo for a match. The Undertaker thing was a teaser for something. You didn't know who it was. That was the point, to create buzz, just like with the Jericho teases and other teases in the past. The only thing similar is that there was rain in each one. Not even close to being the same thing. The TNA teaser was duplicating everything that the Undertaker teaser was including the date of a return or debut in the same font.

The rain, the lighting, the boots walking in the rain, the distorted reflections in the glass were all similar. My point being that wrestling has stolen from each other for years. This is nothing new. WWE is just as guilty of it as TNA is and as WCW was.

Jericho looks to be a decent contender in DWTS, but then again I thought the same thing in Duets (where he was eliminated FIRST). But his claim to fame makes it almost certain he won't make it to the quarter-finals though.

And yes, Trish does Yoga (among other projects).

(Ah, the unpredictability of the WWE. Keeping spirits high, egos in check, and wondering what happens when your star is suddenly in rehab.)

No doubt about everyone stealing from everyone else, but I just think it's a stretch to say the WWE stole the idea of the Undertaker's teaser from something WCW put out 15 years ago and then to compare that to TNA's direct copy. Heck, the WWE has put out a similar "dark" promo like that the 10 some times the Undertaker has come back from the dead.

Love yoga women, I've had a crush on Hudson Leick for some time now.





Back on topic, I get that the Snookie thing is for the Wrestlemania buyrate, but damn-we're losing Money in the Bank for this match. Not to mention Kelly Kelly ain't going to Mania now. That's pretty shitty

Add to that Drew Carey in the Hall of Fame and I have to say-can we get back to focusing on the actual wrestlers? And yeah, I'll even include Kelly Kelly in that group
