The Wrestling Thread

[Mendoza]

I don't mind if someone peddles smut and trash entertainment. You have every right to. Hell i respect the Asylum for their superb ability to make trashy b-movies and turn a modest profit consistently. But at least their honest about it.

The WWF sold spectical that took a very trashy turn in the late 90s and never really looked back. Fine, but own up to it. Don't act like its something it isnt. The Eugene character was always played for laughs. JR's real illness was played for laughs. Outside of the most horrific topics like Owen's death or the tragic end of Beniot's life the company has never shied away from making lite of distasteful content real or imagined.

Hypocrisy is rampant enough in our government, we don't need one more hypocrite politician in the senate.

Amen to that.

Ziggler vs Jericho. My interest, they has it. I can't wait to see what these two come up with on the mic and in the ring.

I have a theory regarding Ziggler vs. Jericho:

Next week on Raw Cena and CM Punk will have their match. Whoever the winner is, Ziggler cashes in his Money in the Bank on and wins the title.

This feud between Ziggler and Jericho then becomes a WWE Championship match. Jericho then ends up winning the title, and legitimizes himself again as a main-event player (since Ziggler has pointed out his recent losing streak).

Ziggler can only cash in on the World Heavyweight Champion (aka: Sheamus.) Also, it seems that Jericho is not being advertised for any events after Summerslam. That may not mean anything, but I'd guess that Jericho is going to put over one last guy before he leaves again.

This was pointed out to me by someone else. Seems kind of stupid to limit Money in the Bank to me. The whole point of it has always been any title at any time. It's supposed to make things unpredictable.

I was reading Paul o"Brien's write up on Money in the Bank and I hadn't noticed before, but no one has ever lost when they cashed it in?

Weird.

Well yes BUT there have been failed cash in attempts that happened before the bell rang, so they didn't officially count. Also, while the WWE likes to say that everyone who has won the briefcase became champ, that conveniently ignores Mr. Kennedy.

It makes sense since most people cashed it in after the former champ was exhausted after just finishing a match.

It seems almost like a solely heel friendly gimmick.

I guess a face could do that, but then thats not quite a face move.

led to this:



By a face.

I don't see a face cashing Money In the Bank at an opportune moment to be a heel thing to do. That's the entire point of Money In the Bank.

The fact that John Cena announced his match ahead of time and is giving CM Punk time to prepare for it defeats the whole purpose of Money In The Bank and just makes Cena look like an idiot, IMO.

[Gamerforlife]

Everything Cena does makes him look like an idiot. What does that say about the company he is the face of?
