The Wrestling Thread

[Gamerforlife]

I heard that in a recent podcast, though now that I think of about it they might have said China, not Japan

I don't know, it could be false. I've been listening to the Impact Wrestling podcast with Dan the Cannon a lot lately. They recently sold their old web domain to TNA, which means that, in exchange, they can actually get TNA wrestlers as guests on the podcast now which is pretty cool

It's a two hour long podcast with news, opinions and suggestions for whatever is going on in TNA, ROH and the WWE. Really helps me get through my ten hour long work days

EDIT:And it's aimed at REAL fans, not marks

Thank you Shawn Michaels, for selling a match that neither Triple H or Undertaker could sell without you

Yet another reason Michaels is one of my all time faves

That...was....EPIC!!!

EDIT: So now I am liking this idea of "The One" that they brought up tonight. Maybe they'll bring in Keanu to end the streak next year

Triple post, I shouldn't do that. I have some strong feelings about the Rock/Cena promo though. Feel free to disagree

I never realized what a shrewd politician John Cena is before tonight. He comes out with a strong promo about the Rock "judging" him. He paints the Rock as a rich asshole, movie star judging Cena because of where Cena comes from, how he talks and how he dresses. Makes himself look like the victim in all this and makes the Rock look bad(you can tell the Rock really didn't know how to respond to Cena's comments as he wasn't expecting that kind of promo)

To quote the Miz, "Really? Reeeeallly?"

When the Rock left the WWE, John Cena took it upon himself to start bad mouthing the guy. So basically, he decided to start JUDGING the Rock and now he wants to turn around after the Rock starts to give back some of that trash talk and make himself out to be the victim by telling us the Rock has no right to judge him?

You are so full of shit Cena. Seriously, I am so tired of his righteous, high horse bullshit. You not a fucking American hero. You're not a marine, you're not a role model and you're not Captain America

Anyway, the Miz was awesome as usual and put over the Rock like he's suppossed to do while Cena just made him look like shit. Not surprising since the only other guy with as big an ego as him is Triple H

My sentiments exactly! I've been an Undertaker fan since I can remember him popping out of a coffin and attacking Hulk Hogan way back when. I love watching the Streak challenges every year, but this year had me really pissed off. There were no real promos or lead up for this match after the initial "Taker's back, oh look - so's HHH. Yay." segment 4 weeks ago. We had some nice docu-videos for the match with various superstars and Michaels weighing in with their thoughts, but nothing to add animosity to this match! It was all just a damn gimmick - and after the past 2 tremendous matches Taker and Michaels put on in the previous 'Manias, I was sorely let down.. If you want to create anticipation for a stellar matchup, you need unbridled drama and/or passion!

And then tonight with HBK's "return" to confront his best friend and his best nemesis. I like how open-ended they left it, and how Taker basically called Michaels a broken and unfulfilled retiree - Michaels sold the hurt big-time! Now, this match can logically go in so many ways this coming Sunday! I went from not really caring that much to "I can't fucking wait!" for this match. Next to the Lawler-Cole match, this is my most anticipated match of the year - and its all thanks to Michaels and his infamous unpredictability!

the Rock seems a bit hyper and nervous last night. he can't stop walking around when Cena was talking crap to him. he also messed up trying to stand before the rock bottom on Miz but it was really good to see him doing some action in the WW...E ring. the ending to that segment left something for Wrestlemania to tune in. in case anyone is wondering after Raw went off air last night, the Rock was still selling the AA and just walk out straight. he did made some post before heading back into the locker room though. of course HBK last night was just epic.

here is last night’s confrontation between The Miz, John Cena & The Rock:

[BurningDoom]

That was a great moment when Cena, Miz, and Rock were all together in the ring. It REALLY makes you wish The Rock actually showed up more often.

[Gamerforlife]

It's funny to see Shawn Michaels, Trish and the Rock all in top form. It really makes you wonder why the three of them aren't still in the game.

The Rock's mic skills and control over the crowd are still leagues above most of the other wrestlers

Shawn Michaals is possibly the best damn actor they have. He can bring drama like no one else I have seen in the WWE in recent years. It's what keeps my eyes glued to the screen whenever he is on

Trish is just the total package, she has all the tools to be top diva if she decided to come back

Two words: Travel schedule.

Random thought I had

About three weeks ago my girlfriend's thoughts on Wrestlemania: "Whatever, babe! You boys have fun!"

Last Tuesday after finding out about Snooki on Wrestlemania: "OMG! I so wanna see my girl fuck shit up!"

So, yeah.. It's definitely done its job of promoting the event to casual/non-fans.. The extent to my girlfriend's wrestling knowledge is Hulk Hogan and The Rock, (also on the bill,) and even she's excited..

I was actually wondering why they were using Snooki as a face. I have never watched the Jersey Shore myself, but I've never heard a positive thing about her. I was under the assumption that the majority of people don't like her.
