The Wrestling Thread

Raw sucked. The Mania card is looking awful. Nobody wants Bryan/Triple H, they want Bryan in the title match instead of Boo-Tista and "boring" Orton. Batista should have come back to face Lesnar(and actually gotten his lazy ass in good cardio shape). Bryan should be facing Orton for the belt, and Taker should have been booked to face Cena, despite how much I hate that neon green wearing idiot. That should have been your Mania card. I came up with that in 2 minutes, making me smarter than WWE's entire creative team

Elimination Chamber kind of sucked too, even though the Shield/Wyatt family match was amazing and the Chamber match itself was pretty good. The show as a whole though...bleh. I actually watched it through a free internet stream, and I didn't sign up for the network either. They're not getting my money, this company that keeps flipping off its fans. That Shield/Wyatt family match though, goddamn that was good, match of the year contender.

And my god, can Cena get off his high horse with his I'm the best and nobody will make it in the WWE unless they go through me garbage. Obnoxious, arrogant prick. And he's supposed to be a babyface? Seriously? He sounded more like an arrogant heel tonight

Oh, and I guess Batista is John Cena 2 with his, "I appreciate the fans voicing their opinions, even if it means booing me" nonsense. I'm sure the announcers will eventually start calling him "controversial" to cover for his boos just like they do with Cena

God I hate you WWE

Looks like we're getting two back to back years of shitty Wrestlemanias. That event no longer means anything

Anyone else taking advantage of the free trial for WWE Network? I've been perusing the ECW PPV's and looking forward to checking out WWF Attitude Era and WCW stuff later.

Tonight's Raw was very, very good. The ending was one of the best things I've seen in a long time, from a storyline standpoint. I knew when Heyman kept talking about conquering history who it would be but that exchange was intense.

how does it work? Do you choose what you want to watch or is it selected programming ?

I admit most, 98%, of WWE has stunk for a long time but if the ending to last nights Raw didn't do anything for you maybe the WWE has passed you by. Cena vs Taker? Yuck! Do you really want him ending the streak? It also looks like we might be getting Cesaro vs Swagger as well. I certainly hope not as I'd love to see Cesaro vs Angle. Match of the year contender their.

As for Mr. Yes movement, I'm getting tired of the masses acting like he's The Mesiah or the second coming, they have plans. The rumors right now are that he'll face HHH, when he decides to accept the challenge, and if he wins he'll get access to the Wrestlemania main event. Their has been a change regarding Mr. Yes over the past couple weeks and most insiders now are stating they know he needs the title, if only to shut everyone up about it, and their isn't a better place to give it to him then Wrestlemania.

WWW Network is free for a week. No money going to their coffers unless you don't cancel by Sunday night.

It's both though they need to work out the bugs. Their is a main channel that shows a planned line-up and then their is selected programming including WWE, WCW, and ECW PPV's (not much missing and most of it is unedited including Benoit matches) as well as select regular shows from those brands and WCCW (currently only 1 episode). A lot of things wouldn't load properly until late at night when I watched snippets of Wrestlemania X7 which worked very well.

If you took a sip of an adult beverage every time the "WWE Network" was mentioned last night, you would be in a coma.

Am I the only one who really doesn't give a shit about Brock Lesnar at all?

Probably.

This thread is something else as almost every post is "Screw wrestling", week, after week, after week, after week, after week...

None of the insiders are saying what you said. You just made that up. REAL insiders still believe he won't get the belt at Mania. He's just been given the match that Punk was going to have because Punk is gone now. Get your facts straight...like I always do.

Cena vs Taker is better than Brock vs Taker because people would actually believe the Streak is in danger. Cena is the ONLY guy who can accomplish that. I find Taker matches boring because you always know he's going to win, and the WWE doesn't really do a good job building them up. With Cena, it's pretty much already built without them even having to do anything, because IT'S FREAKING CENA. I hate Cena, but it makes good business sense.

Cesaro vs Angle? Where did that come from? Angle's not even in WWE, and it's unlikely they'd even want him given all his issues he's had as well as his terrible state of health
