Very interesting you bring up a Hell in a Cell match between Taker and Michaels. Would definately make the match more exciting and tempting to purchase just to see. Also we know how great the Hell in a Cell match between them years ago was.
Not sure them two should have another one, make it more for HBK, a ladder match, they fought in Takers type of match last time, should be about HBK this time.

I just read now that apparently it will be Jericho vs. Mickey Rourke at WM25. However, if it falls through they have the backup gauntlet type of match with various WWE legends.
I have to point out the EDGE is the only wrestling in WWE to wrestle in TWO elimation Chamber matches. Loose in one and win in the other

I thought that Mickey Rourke had already backed down from that.. Thats what it was originally, but On that talk show, he decided against it due to his friends and family talking him out of it.
That was why they have shifted the story towards the Legends instead...

It can be nice to see some legends appear again, but will they make a truly magical moment? Usually those types of moments hapen in the prime of someones career, or basically their breakout moment. If you ask me, if they do this scenario with Jericho it will be looked at as a filer match and nothing more.

The idea of The Rock and Stone Cold having a match against Jericho would bring in a lot of money and popularity.

I agree, but the odds of it ever happening are literally zero unfortunately.
Yeah, forget a match, I doubt The Rock will ever make an appearance in the wwe again.
A legend v legend killer match would be awesome, pit a legend against Randy Orton

Precisely.
The diehard fans of WWE/TNA are probably the most diehard fans out there, and there's a good reason for that.
What Justin said.
I know it is setup perfectly and all but with Austin's history and advice from his doctors it just won't happen. Since they stated one single bump could literally paralyze the man for life means serious business. I read through sources close to WWE that claim there will be a Gauntlet type of match that will place Jericho amongst a huge group of WWE legends. basically Jericho will walk through them all until that is he runs into the last contestant, non other than Hulk Hogan. *SIGH* Yet again Hogan gets spotlight at WM, and once again I have to hear that silly song, witness his mediocre wrestling skills, and watch him do those stupid hand gestures to the crowd. If this is the best the WWE could do for Jericho then they need some serious help in their creative/writing department if you ask me. Being that this is the 25th Anniversary of WM says for itself that it should be more than memorable. Take it to the top WWE!

justintheman99
02-24-2009, 23:38
It would be nice to see Taker vs. Michaels once more thats for sure. However, if it does indeed happen who will win the match? I am not sure if "the streak" should ever end, and frankly I am not sure if Shawn should be the guy to end it. Honestly I think Michaels has enough credentials under his belt and the "end" of the streak should help boost some younger guys on the current roster. Not someone who will retire within the near future.
I say let him keep the streak and make that his legacy on wrestling.
justintheman99
02-25-2009, 00:43
Well thats just it, but then again why leave it go down with him? I say use the streak to eventually put over a young up and coming talent. It could do good for the future generation instead of leaving it die off with the Undertaker.
I say the streak should only end if he faces Shawn Michaels, Undertakers record will never be broken so why all about Taker, Shawn Michaels isnt Mr Wrestlemania for nothing, even if Taker wins it will be a great match either way but Id love Shawn to.

HBK should NOT take the streak though. And taker should still get one last title reign, a long one. Anywho, really enjoying the build up to WM now!
Sting sucks ***, cant belive he is still TNA champion! That should be on AJ or Joe. If the WWE could get those two, wow!

If he has a no compete clause then he wouldn't be able to jump ship for a good while. However, if he didn't have one then he could bounce right away, but then again no matter what he would be able to go to WWE eventually.
Who else thinks Christian's return was botched? Frankly, they are making him out to be an individual who isn't a strong competitor at all. Having to job to the likes of Jack Swagger??? Give me a break.....sometimes the WWE really irritates me.

The MiTB match is gonna be for most of the young 'uns, but Undertaker and HBK is too good to pass up on.
At least in WWE the old guys can still wrestle quite well, not like, uh...The other company.

I agree about Hogan and Flair, and I really hope Jericho ends up facing Austin at WM rather than one of those two.
Anyway, MiTB (Speculative) Entrants: MVP, Mr Kennedy, CM Punk, Evan Bourne, Rey Mysterio and I have no idea for the rest.

I left wrestling with The Rock and imo he's The Greatest of All time in terms of showmanship.I know Hogan paved the way but M.J. is still the G.O.A.T. even tho wilt,kareem,etc dominated before him.and i'm no hardcore fan i dont know about technical wrestlers and all that I jus know i tuned in every week to see wat The Rock was gonna say or do next.Since then its been marginal at best and the only reason i occasionally tune in is cuz of my 10yr old brother.Rocks the best and the only reason i'm picking up legends of wrestlmania in march.My top five are
1.The Rock
2.HHH
3.Stone Cold
4.Mic Foley(leaves his entire being in the ring everytime)
5.Jeff Hardy(ditto)

The Rock will forever be one of the greatest of all time easily alongside Austin. Since both of their departures there honestly hasn't been anyone as entertaining as those two could be.
WTF!!?!!? Edge is a SEVEN TIME World champ?
Yeah and most of his reigns as WWE Champ were short so hes better off being World champ although I reckon Cena will win it and him and Batista will fight for it upon Batistas return

Well the Orton/HHH SHOULD be the main event, since thats what the rumble gives you, but the last few years they have been straying from putting it as the actual main event.
Cena will be in that match (Edge), no doubt about it, you can see it from a mile away.
They are going to unify the womens championship (as if anybody really cares), and might do the same to the tag championship...
And how is the hardy vs hardy not going to be at WM25, did I miss something, as they have been pushing the whole fact that jeff doesnt want to fight him, so figured they were right on schedule for that.
Batista will be back right after WM25 to go after Ortons championship...
Randy Orton is a man, I just had to point that out before I left! :)

I stopped caring about the tag titles after the Hardys, Edge & Christian and the Dudley's stopped completing for it.

The problem with the tag division is that WWE doesn't show it enough interest. The titles mean nothing when they are on the shoulders of 2 singles competitors wrestlers. They need to reform some groups with "proper" tag names to go into the al time greats like The Hart Foundation, Legion of Doom, Demolition, The British Bulldogs, etc. I am hoping that soon they will show it some interest.

You betcha! Basically since JBL lost his match to the Undertaker, and his ability to compete for the title at WM25 as well his only option is to challenge CM Punk for his title. I find it funny so far they never started anything for the IC Title at this point. When Punk won his right into the MITB match at WM I found it funny as he is a champion within the match, and therefore wouldn't be defending his title.

The only reason the I.C championship Isn't as important as it used be is because they have 2 world championships.

Yeah and thats all good but back when guys like Edge and Jericho were going for IC there were two world titles, obviously they still go for it but the only major WWE superstar going for it these days is CM Punk and hes the champion.
I also noticed whenever Edge wins the title its always short title reigns, they have Triple H with longer reigns, tbh I wouldnt mind if Big Show wins the title, he should become world heavyweight champ at least once given he is the worlds largest athlete.

To really increase a belts prestige it has to be consistently defended on PPV, with 3 brands, 3 supposed "Major" belts, all o one 2/3 hour PPV, there osn't time.

I do the same thing.
justintheman99
03-16-2009, 12:13
Main reason I do this is that WWE has 13 PPV's each year and they go for $40 a piece. I can't imagine how many less games I would be buying if I indeed ordered every PPV. Then again I can't say I have "NO" bought DVD's because as I look right now I see 2 that stand out. I have the Bret Hart DVD, as well as the Mr.Perfect DVD, who I find were the two most talented "wrestlers" of all time.
I usually watch the PPV when they come out if results I like happen, or if my favourite wrestlers win titles.
I mainly enjoy watching certain superstars dvds or ones like Saturday Main Event dvd and the Hell in a Cell set, Ladder match dvd is awesome too.

A lil surprised with the HHH vs Orton result, but seeing as HHH aint won at Mania for awhile.....
Cena, again......FFS
justintheman99
04-06-2009, 11:55
Perhaps one of the worst Wrestlemania shows in recent years. Cena the champ again is just awful..........when will this guy go AWAY! :lol:
Really enjoyed HBK v Taker, one of the best matches in years, HBK never gets outperformed at Wrestlemania.
Not surprised HHH won, Cena winning is good, the whole Edge, Big Show and Vicki storyline was pathetic, no way should the world title be involved with that crap.

04-06-2009, 14:48
the undertaker vs HBK match was one OF THE BEST MATCHES IVE SEEN IN A LONG TIME!
Cena winning is NOT good, we (over 15 males) are sick of him and dont him shoved down our throat all the time!
So i take it, when the draft happens, HHH and Cena will switch shows?
I prefer Cena to hold it then a ***** like Big Show or Edge, what happened to the psycho Edge, that was awesome, now the WWE made him soft as.
justintheman99
04-06-2009, 16:31
I agree. They have Edge use Vicki in order to obtain title shots and so on as his character is now too soft to do things on his own. I really wish they would scrap that whole fiasco and have him back as the Edge I always enjoyed. A very dark badass wrestler.
I can already hear the anti-Cena army forming.....
Overall, a pretty good WM. I'm not even going to say what match stole the show, because its so obvious. I haven't been that excited for a match in years.
The main event was a major letdown. I didn't mind Triple H winning as much as the match itself.
taker vs hbk, This was an outstanding match.
Both performers give there all in that match. And now the undertaker is 17-0 do you think he will go to 20-0 and leave. I feel its a target of him
I sincerely hope Undertaker doesnt hit 20-0.
justintheman99
04-07-2009, 14:30
If the Undertaker retires with 0 losses at Wrestlemania that is taking away a great opportunity to put over a young up and coming star. I sincerely hope the streak is broken before he retires.

Brock would of been great, and he would be "the guy" if he had of stayed in the WWE. Quite frankly I would enjoy seeing Orton end the streak or even Kennedy. Don't get me wrong as Mr.Kennedy is still considered a very "green" wrestler but in time I can see him headlining a Wrestlemania as he truly has that "it" factor about him.

i thought that kennedy had a bit of 'the rock' about him when i 1st say him, hes defo got mic skills, BUT he work at 1st was a bit poor, hes much better now though. Hes still injured aint he? and we're not sure whether hes gonna be a heel or a face.
Personally, asides from the heavy hitters, im loving MVP. i though he would win the MITB match for sure.
Dont understand the WWE writing team sometimes!
I though Orton would be Champ sunday night!

04-07-2009, 14:58
The whole Orton vs. HHH feud (with the Mcmahons involved) has only just begun I think. WWE will play this one out for as long as possible. Just look at the main event for Backlash now. They have HHH, Batista (who returned last night), and Shane taking on Orton, Rhodes, and Dibiase in the main event. So personally this feud will continue well into the future. Now as for Kennedy he is fit to return anytime now I believe (could of swore I read that some where).
So any prediction on who will be drafted on next weeks Raw?

04-07-2009, 15:18
Yeah, i read the rajah report this morning so knew about Dave B returning!
Think your right, that might be played out for awhile! Shame that WWE is sticking with the whole PG thing though!
Draft?
Hmmm, id love to see Christain get moved over
Obv HHH will offically become part of RAW and Cena part of Smackdown
but does that mean Edge will move to Raw with Vicki now RAW GM??
CM punk to smackdown
John Morrison to smackdowon (HUGE potenial)
MVP to remain, but to get pushed heavily (i hope)
(not sure who else bro, what do you think)
By the wau just, do you rate Aj and joe? Id love it if those to left TNA for the WWE or the Dragon Danielson (the best pure wrestler there is!)
justintheman99
04-07-2009, 15:24
AJ Styles and Samoa Joe are two of the best in the business right now if you ask me. :wink:
My predictions....
John Morrison moving off to either Raw or Smackdown due to the fact he is no longer a tag champ.
HHH moving back to Raw, and John Cena headed back to Smackdown.
Edge will officially head to Raw due to Vicki being there, so that one is pretty obvious I think. (Could be wrong though)
Christian will be drafted to Smackdown I think, and I hope!
Batista will be drafted to Smackdown I think.
Jeff Hardy will be drafted to Raw.
Dolph Ziggler will be drafted to ECW.
The Brian Kendrick will be drafted to ECW.
Other predictions:
MVP is getting a big push, I truly believe that.
Santino will become the new Womens Champion.
Orton will beat HHH in the very near future.
Kennedy will return and remain with Smackdown.
Other than that there isn't much else I can see.

I wonder if the shows will ever be recombined? I hate the whole inter-brand thing they have going right now. Because of it I only watch the one show which is Raw. If they were all TIED IN together I would watch every single show. Also they should CANCEL ECW or at least change its name. It is a true disgrace to refer to it as hardcore when everything they do is PG, and there is nothing extreme about it. Paul Heyman must be going insane at even the thought of them using the letters ECW.

04-07-2009, 16:04
Nah, they wont be, i remember JR on blog awhile back saying that it will now always be raw and smackdown. Plus they got too many superstars now for one show! I do agree that RAW is the no1 brand and i only watch it too, smackdown just doesnt do it for me. Even though it has more 'wrestling' on it!
ECW? I tink vince just wanted to bury it. and he has. Oh well, i still got the one night stands on my laptop to savour!

04-07-2009, 16:33
Personally I think having the separate brands is truly hurting their company. If they were to bring it all back together then more people would watch it as the viewer base would carry from one show to the next. Also I like the idea of having ECW as kind of a show where the newest up and coming talent get their time to evolve as well as learn and improve. Perhaps at least combine Raw and Smackdown. It would make for better storylines as everyone is back under one roof, and it will also have the viewer base as one big happy family that jumps show to show as the storylines would carry over. So with two shows you have endless possibilities since you can involve ANY wrestle with someone else and another brand for the youth of the business.
No one currently in the wwe deserves to end Takers streak. He should retire with the streak, and that will be what he is remembered for. The best time for him to end the streak was WM21 against Orton.
Its good that Batistas back :D

Yeah but Just you gotta take into account that all the talent wouldnt get enough air time! theyd have to do an 4 hour show or summit!
So in theroy it would be nice, but in reality it cant happen now.

Exactly. They do it this time of year so why not continue that trend forever.
Im not sure why, but when watching WM25, I had a thought that when CM Punk won the Money in the Bank match he could steal the belt from Edge again, he retains to Cena and Show, they both beat the crap out of him and CM Punk comes and steals his belt again :lol:.
Highlight was probably Stone Cold, and all he did was drink beer :lol:. Miss him so much.
At the moment I think Taker should take his streak with him.

Whats sad here is that the whole Austin segment was the best part of the ENTIRE show for me. What does that say? Drop the PG rating on your content and stop catering to the kiddies. They are leaving out their core audience which is the male audience between the ages of 15-30.
That segment brought back so many great Austin memories of when the WWE was at their peak. NO ONE in that dressing room can bring a crowd to their feet like Austin could, and well still can.
I'm a little sad I wasn't really following WWF back when Austin was kicking up dust with The Rock and McMahons. I've seen alot of the PPV's from back in the late 90's and I've found somewhere to download all the shows for each year, but its not the same watching now. First I didn't like/know alot of the wrestlers back then and its time consuming watching a years worth of shows :lol:.
They'll never drop the PG rating now.
justintheman99

If thats the case I truly feel for the WWE as quite frankly that (to me) is whats holding them back from the glory days of the 90's.

Without the PG rating the Orton - HHH thing could be so much more.
They really should have done something with the Psycho Edge that lasted a day, Psycho Edge and Orton on each brand would have helped level them out.
justintheman99
04-08-2009, 18:56
The Edge that I adored to watch didn't marry someone to seek a title shot. He earned it. That Edge was the one everyone enjoyed watching, even though he was a hell. Now they have him way too soft and frankly with his current gimmick it feels like anyone can beat him one on one. I agree with the Orton-HHH rivalry. Without the limitations of the PG rating it could of really taken off big time.
That PG rating is a joke. I mean Raw comes on a 9 PM (Eastern) for a reason doesn't it? To make sure the kiddies are in bed and the "older" audience who WWE is suppose to cater too are the only ones awake ready to watch the product. How many of you were shocked to see no blood at WM25? I know I was (even though blood doesn't make a match). Imagine though if it were implemented into some of the matches. Like it or not it always adds so much more to the matches and makes them feel that much more realistic from a viewers perspective.
Taker did have a little cut!!!! :lol:
I remember when you'd see Stone Cold have blood pouring from his head and his whole head would be red with blood. It's not needed I guess, but it adds a little extra.
justintheman99
04-08-2009, 19:03
No, the blood is not needed. However when you have a match like Jeff and Matt Hardy did it becomes a little bit unrealistic when neither of them are even cut! :lol:
I have to admit, an 'Extreme' rules match needs blood. Otherwise its just a regular match without rules. Has either Hardy ever shed blood in the ring? I cant remember ever seeing it.

Oh yes they have. Wish I could remember more exactly when but I can't. It just really makes me mad as the whole PG rating is not just involved with the story lines, but it has also found its way into the mechanics of the matches. If this continues I don't see ratings for WWE ever increasing but instead a continuous decline as more and more jump ship for UFC, MMA, and so on. We as a society have a NEED for violence, which is sad to say but at the same time holds a lot of truth.

I also want to point out my hatred for WWE and their lack of pushing Christian. This guy was over huge before his departure and the only reason he left was due to the creative team not using him. This guy CAN do it, and he deserves it. I know my fingers are crossed for him. I think a program with Christian vs. Edge would sell VERY well in done correctly. I won't get my hopes up as they aleady destroyed his return to the WWE by having him randomly show up on ECW. Pffff

04-09-2009, 11:24
I see you guys have been talking about the whole PG thing and yes it is here to stay unfortunately.
Now on to Edge, yes he needs a new direction, they need to ditch this whole awful marriage with Vicki and have Edge become the rated r superstar again. Not some lil 'hold a title for a day' wimp.
Christian, i agree with you Just, he must be kicking himself inside that that he resigned with WWE only to be jerked off! Im hoping that his awful introduction was just a way of him showing thats hes for real and he will get pushed to Main Eventer. status soon. I think he will. Maybe in a program with Edge, i browser a wrestling news site by accident where it said that Christan is gonna get a World title push? But i couldnt get on the link.
HHH needs to turn heel, ive NEVER been a fan of his, espically more so that hes a McMachan nad ive heard MANy stories about him being involved in the creative side of things and buring certain superstars. Plus hes main evented at WM so many times, let someone else have a go!
The future should be, edge, jeff, jericho and MVP. These 4 guys should be the ones that Main Eventer regulary, PROPERLY. Im really high on MVP and am still pissed that CM PUNK got the MITB shot again.
lastly, HBK, dont like him (cos i was Hitman fan and knew they hated eachother) but i respect him, and as the dude is now 44 and his contract is up after WM26, let him have a title shot. Possibably at WM26 and then retire. That would be awesome.
Dont wanna keep seeing Cena and HHH as champions, its so obviouis and boring.

just finished watching WM this morning... Really good night... some great matches there...
The undertakers entrance disapointed me, but that was about the biggest dissapointment of the night....
@Xelis, Matt actually cut his head open fairly early in that match, and one of the trainers was cleaning him up (the camera caught some of it by mistake...)
It was in his hairline though so once cleaned up you could hardly see it...
I hope taker makes it to 20-0 and then retires. He is getting colse to that stage since some wrestlers said at WM he kept alone and spent the whole time icing his knees, which everyone knows have been causing him pain for some years.
There have been rumours that WWE might allow Ted Dibiase to end his streak, because he is the new promising talent. But ending the streak would mean all those 17-19 years of victories would got to waste.
If the streak ends, fans will forget about the streak about a decade after he leaves WWE, but if it never ends, then the streak will remain as legendary as say, the WM 3 Match Andre vs Hogan.
Overall WM was not that bad IMO, and HHH vs Orton was good i enjoyed it. But most people thought it wasn't good enough.
However HBK vs Taker was easily match of the night, and arguably the greatest match of all time.
BTW if you didnt know it, the cameraman that Taker landed on when he did his insane ropes flying stunt, that cameraman was actually Legacy reject; Sim Snuka. Although Taker was lucky, he looked like he was close to landing right on his head and knockin himself out.
Oh and, the poll at the top, in regards to that, i dont think Rock will ever return, seeing as he doesnt appreciate being known as The Rock, but instead prefers being remembered by his real name. Cena wants to challenge Rock to a match at WM 26, and he did challenge him, but rock just said "that guy makes me laugh"
:P
i hate cena, but who knows, this may be a rivalry buildup to a surprise match next year, or it may just be what it seems, and that is that the rock wants nothing to do with wrestling anymore. He seems to prefer to distance himself from it.

Ted shouldn't end his streak. The biggest problem is, if they end his streak and then the wrestler that ended his streak gets no where in the WWE. It'd be a complete waste, as you say, of 17 years.
I still say leave his streak alone.

michaels and taker and the likes, if they have been hit in the leg for 10 minutes, they have a sore leg the rest of the match....
see where I meant to go with that?

thats why i hate cena, he doesn't sell. He tries to act the 'superhero' who even 30 minutes into a match, after being given two finishers somehow leaps up and gives the other guy a FU (or an 'attitude adjustment' :(
BTW did i mention how much it sucks that wwe is goin PG.
A few weeks ago in an interview Vince O' Mac said that TNA "need to get with the times" and go PG aswell. He also described their TV-14 storylines as "reprehensible".
Dixie Carter owned him though, she said:
"I think it's wonderful that Vince watches TNA iMPACT. And I agree with him that things such as the brutal beating of a sixty-year-old man, a vicious home invasion and gratuitous man-on-woman violence can be seen as reprehensible – and that's just the last three Monday nights."
The worst thing is Vince doesnt even realise times aren't for PG, current times are for older viewers

Boring moveset, poor at selling moves, rubbish face, average on the mic, and he has to be carried in matches often. He's bad.

That about sums it up I guess. I seen him a few times at shows and you can really see things when you watch it live. His work in the ring is VERY stiff and his selling is that of a wrestler who is very green.

Wow, my predictions for the draft were way off. They really built up Raw once again and just completely ignored ECW, and only giving a bit too Smackdown.

justintheman99
04-14-2009, 16:22
The fact both titles are on Raw just declares something will happen very soon. You know for a fact both titles will NOT stay on the same show. Just like when MVP was drafted to Raw you automatically knew Mysterio would go to Smackdown. Based on that I find the draft is way to predictable.
Kingpin326
04-14-2009, 16:23
Yea im pretty sure CM punk is going to do something on raw and bring one of the titles over.
Most likely he will get Cena's title.
justintheman99
04-14-2009, 16:26
Well with the way the keep ramming Cena down the throats of WWE fans I think HHH might lose his title to Punk somehow. Perhaps next week on Raw after the match involving Orton and HHH, Punk cashes in and hits HHH with the GTS and steals his title to Smackdown. It keeps the Orton/HHH feud going and the idea it is "personal" since there is no title involved, plus it keeps Cena elevated at the top as the WWE champion once again (seems that is all they ever want). Just a thought.
LastManDancing
04-14-2009, 16:32
Nah, Orton/HHH feud might continue for another 1-2 months now that Batista is added to the mix.
CM Punk is going to cash in the MITB after the Edge/Cena Last Man Standing match at Backlash.
Yes, the draft was way too predictable.
And they split up Miz/Morrison, sad to see them go but now Morrison can get back to the ECW title picture.
justintheman99
04-14-2009, 16:48
Batista being added to the mix only asks the question, why?
yeah true true, with both titles at raw in my mind there are now two possibilities:
1 - Punk cashes in MITB on Cena and takes title to SD
OR
2 - Edge beats Cena at Backlash and takes title to SD
the 2nd seems likelier because i dont think Punk will cash in his MITB in the next two weeks since the championship match is pencilled in for Backlash (edge vs cena). Then again, WWE is known to be swerving storylines into completely unexpected directions...
justintheman99
04-14-2009, 16:59
Either way someone is losing a title and SOON. They won't carry Smackdown for very long if you ask me without a title and WWE will not want to do that.
LastManDancing
04-14-2009, 17:07
Batista being added to the mix only asks the question, why? I can see WWE milking it with an extreme match at ONS between Orton and HHH then a triple threat between HHH, Orton, Batista at Vengeance.

Then again, WWE is known to be swerving storylines into completely unexpected directions... CM Punk cashing in the MITB on Edge for the second time in the row and starting a feud between them would be good but Smackdown lacks a top face (Besides Undertaker) so I can kind of see Cena also beating Edge and heading to Smackdown anyway.

So would they in fact turn Batista heel? If anything HHH should turn heel again.
LastManDancing
04-14-2009, 18:25
So would they in fact turn Batista heel? If anything HHH should turn heel again. Well Orton or Legacy could pin Shane McMahon, HHH could retain, Batista could pin someone on Legacy and Batista could find himself in the title picture. Since when do you need to be a heel to add yourself to the title picture?
All Batista needs to do is say, "I want my shot!"
And BAM! It's done, he finds himself facing HHH or Orton/HHH by beating someone like the Big Show to get a title opportunity.
justintheman99
04-14-2009, 19:08
Perhaps, but at the same time the HHH vs. Orton feud is not just about the title. It is WAY more than that, and what they have built doesn't involve Batista in the least. It just seems to me he shouldn't belong to this ongoing saga at all.
LastManDancing
04-14-2009, 21:36
It's only personal to HHH, to Randy Orton it's all about being the WWE champion so the title means a lot.
Batista being in the feud makes sense on the level that they were all Evolution (Something they like to bring up occasionally) and Orton and Batista were feuding over a title shot prior (Plus they made up the fact that Orton was the one who took Batista out of action) so I have no problem with him being involved in the feud.
justintheman99
04-15-2009, 01:55
Well if thats the direction it is going then a triple threat match will be inevitable. They can book it like "who is the BEST from Evolution?"
What interests me more though is how they will use MVP and Matt Hardy now that they are on Raw. I am very anxious to see what is in the future for these two guys.

Now that MVP is on the Main show, that only says to me that is going to get pushed heavily. I know the creative and staff and more importanly, vince is high on him
I cant belive CM (CRAP MAN) punk is gonna get another title run. I did think it was odd that both the main titles would end up on RAW.
Is it me or smackdown getting more and more pushed to back in favour of raw?
justintheman99
04-15-2009, 11:53
Raw was and always will be looked at by WWE creative as the primary show. I doubt that will change anytime soon. As for Punk I think he will wait to the PPV after Backlash (forget which one it is) because it is in his hometown of Chicago, hence the name C (Chicago) M (Made) Punk. :wink:

justintheman99
04-15-2009, 13:41
Kofi is great but unfortunately you will never see this guy truly utilized. Kofi reminds me of a young Shelton when he first came into the WWE. His ability as an athlete is just leaps and bounds ahead of most of the locker room. The problem now is that the WWE has gone away from the actual "wrestling" and instead rely on those who can cut the promos, sell the tickets, and of course McMahons favorite "big and full of muscles". When Bret Hart was champion the WWE at the time was full of pure athletical performers that ran alongside the tone of wrestling he set. We had Bret Hart, Curt Henning, Ricky Steamboat, Randy Savage, Shawn Michaels, etc. These guys could make a STORY or even a fairytale happen inside that ring. You guys remember the great match between Hart and Michaels at Wrestlemania 12? Amazing. What about Randy Savage vs. Ricky Steamboat at Wrestlemania 3? Classic matches. Nowadays we see the stories happen outside the ring, instead of through a classic matchup that pits the BEST abilities of both performers.
Matches like those ones are truly a lost art form. Sadly it is the old timers who can still deliver these high calibre matches. Look at this past Wrestlemania 25 and the Michaels vs. Undertaker match? :wink:

thats all i can think of.
as long as Cena and HHH arent shoved down my throats all the time, then ill be ok!
I've watched 'that' match 5 times now, with the volume turnt way up, so i can feel the atmosphere. that match, WONT be bettered this year and we still got 8 months to go!
Whilst Vince is high on his BIG guys, we wont see the matches of old.
Stone Cold vs the Rock (anytime)
Bret vs Austin (WM)
Kurt angle vs Brock
Kurt vs Beniot
Beniot vs HHH and ....
Eddie vs anyone!
Kurt vs anyone!
HBK vs anyone!
It really pees me off to know that the WWE just sit on all their talent while crap like HHH, Cena, Big Dave etc hog the limelight.
But i still follow it, even at the age of 28, i still enjoy it, however i read the reports more for the past few years now. I got into wrestling late, as my dad didnt get sky till i was 14 and then it was all about Bret Hart(who is my fav of all time) so i missed the eras of hogan, warrior, savage et al
(im gonna watch 'that' match again later, wasnt happy that i had to d/l 2 gigs worth of a poor WM to watch ONE match!)
I thought taker was dead when he landed on the TOP OF HIS HEAD LIKE AN ARROW!
Oh and one more thing, Matt SO deserves his push
justintheman99
04-15-2009, 16:45
Its a shame really as the guys with so much potential get thrown on the back burner based on their ability to "act" on camera for promos, interviews, etc. They go with guys now who can build a story line through their ability to perform more so as an actor than an actual wrestler. Who has more ring talent, John Cena or Bret Hart? How about Dave Batista or Shawn Michaels? Maybe even HHH or the late Eddie Guererro? You see in this day and age the wrestling ability is overshadowed by this made up need for camera presence which is a true shame. A typical John Cena match (or even Batista) can be carried out with a simple 10 base move set and nothing more. I don't think we will ever see the days of telling a wrestling story through what matters the most, wrestling. Those days are gone forever, and I truly believe that.
Back to my point of the "old guys" stealing the show. What was the match of the year, Shawn Michaels vs. The Underatker at WM25. What was the match of the year last year? Michaels vs. Flair at WM24. You see these "old" guys are the last of their kind. The ones with the true ability to perform at a level that is classified as an artistic display of events. They made you feel emotion through their match, anger, happiness, joy, not like today where they captivate you with silly displays and antics that take place outside the ring. I remember watching matches at the age of 13 even where the camera would pan to audience members who were shown crying like babies. Thats wrestling magic! Not invading someone's home and throwing them though a window. But instead putting on a display that proves you ARE worthy to fight for a title, or fight one of the top guys in the company, or fight to declare you are better than someone else. Most matches today last no more than 2-3 minutes. They end with interference or DQ more often than an actual winner is declared by pinfall or submission. Where are the 30 minutes matches that captivate an audience of 20,000 people? Instead the audiences are bored to death with 1 hour 30 minutes of promos and only 30 minutes of mediocre wrestling involving guys who are still green but yet carry titles. Wrestlers who are forced upon the fans and given large roles before they even earned them. Things have changed, and not for the better.
Gone are the days of titles meaning something. Remember when Shawn Michaels won his first world title? That was a very heartfelt moment after of course an insanely epic match. Through years of hardwork, dedication and determination he reached the top. Ever notice that in the past all wrestlers who became the World Champ held the IC belt first? Stepping stones! Why did this routine suddenly vanish? Now we see wrestlers appearing for their FIRST time ever in a ring and winning titles? Ridiculous. Carlito, won the US Strap in his first match, Santino Marella won the IC belt in his first match. These titles use to take years of hard work to earn, and now they are handed around like like a top selling used book. They have no more significance, and mean nothing. Their reputations have been tarnished by the unworthy who parade around the ring in them, who have yet to even become a solid wrestler. It must truly aggrivate certain wrestlers of days ago when they see new guys coming in and winning titles on their appearance in a WWE ring. Whereas it had taken them several years to reach that plateau. Where is the logic in this?

Wow I am VERY happy to see that Mr.Kennedy has been drafted back to Raw. It is kind of sad though that once again Raw gets the totally better deal while Smackdown is fairly ignored, and of course ECW is just totally ignored.
Perhaps the best article written so far about the draft selections. I laughed at the opening paragraphs. :lol: This sums up completely how I feel about the draft as well as what every single wrestler will be doing on their new show.
http://rajah.com/base/node/15756
Nice article! Interesting read and some different views on it.
I found Kozlov going to ECW funny, he had a couple of title shots then dropped off the face of the earth.
I was slightly disappointed Jeff didn't got with Matt to Raw. I hope MVP get a title shot he was starting to win me over during his losing streak :lol:. Also Vickie and Edge are finally apart I pray they just forget they ever got married and leave it, that one storyline I dont care for an ending of they've screwed it up by not breaking them when Edge went psycho. Wonder where if they'll have a Edge - Jericho feud soon.
Show annoys me too, probably cause he's like Kane now, just, there. They've also officially killed off the tag teams, as theres one remaining tag team left, unless I'm missing one thats been hiding in ECW.

I encourage everyone who participates in this thread to read the article (from the link) I posted several posts up. Very insightful and really sums up how WWE is booking each individual wrestler these days of all those involved in the draft.

It really was the truth of the matter. Does WWE put any effort into ECW? Nope. Do they market the show with ANY heavy hitting superstars? Nope. Do they represent hardcore at any given time? Nope. Do they seem to care about ECW? Nope.
To me all WWE does with ECW is utilize it as an opportunity to help train the younger generation of superstars and give them some exposure to the TV scene. It is basically just a development zone and will never be anything more than that. Also the fact they have the ECW title in silver reflects to me they classify it as a much lower show opposed to Raw or Smackdown who's heavyweight titles are of course gold. If you ask me WWE should change the name of their ECW broadcast to something more suitable. How can they sit back and use the word "extreme" when in fact there is NOTHING extreme about it in the least.
Or alternatively, drop the PG rating from ECW and introducing some extreme wrestling, swearing and strong storylines. That would instantly boost ratings, as we all know swearing and violence brings people in.

Very true, but this is what the audience is begging for over all shows! If they did this for just ECW the other shows would have to follow, at least in the sense of dropping the PG-13 rating. If the other shows didn't I guarantee instantly ECW would become the most popular amongst WWE's programming.

Its like how they are starting to push kobe a little now, and push him up to that middle tier nicely.
Kofi has amazing athletic ability but like the blog in Justin's link says (I think I read it there), he's not built the same way as the main contenders are (like brick **** houses), so he'll always be middle tier picking up the 'plastic' belts.

justintheman99
04-18-2009, 14:50
Edge is one of those guys who earned his spot. He started out as a tag team, then went on to make his mark in the singles world before finally capturing the IC title, then the heavyweight title. Most individuals nowadays jump over these stepping stones straight to the top which is sad to see.
Kofi helped make that MITB match at WM25, I remember seeing his win the IC title in his first match on RAW against Jericho, he won me over in that match straight away.
Same reason I'm sad to see Jeff straight out of the title picture after his one title reign, hes travelled up the company through years of hard work, sure a few slip ups along the way, but hes had to put in the years.

Instead of building these talent guys who are their future, they go with BIG named guys like Sting, Angle, Booker, Jarrett, Foley (need I continue?). These guys are not the future, they are the guys of years past who don't have much gas left in the tank. So by not developing their young core rotser they are only hurting themselves. Why tune into TNA to see guys I watched in WWE for years? Seems strange if you ask me.

Bobby Lashely will waste his time in TNA just like Jeff Hardy did. He should consider coming back to WWE.

Bobby Lashley wasn't even that great of a wrestler. He had some decent in ring abilities but he couldn't sell well, and his mic skills were mediocre.
I hope Christian beats Jack Swagger!
I also want Jeff Hardy to win, it would make a change :P
Also i hope HHH retains the title, though it would be interesting for Batista or Shane O'mac to stuff up the match and let the belt go to Orton.
Could you a imagine if Batista causes the title to go to Orton!
He'd have even more reason to want to kill him!

Theres a MASSIVE rumour that Jeff hardy will leave in the summer, his contract is up and he wont sign despite being offered contracts. Maybe thats why they wont let him beat Matt.
TNA has 3 things going for it, AJ, Joe and the X-Divison. Chuck Kurt in there too as he is still the man! Other than that, it sucks!!

I think it will be confirmed why Jeff just can't seem to beat Matt in these matches, and that is his contract is up soon and he hasn't re-signed. Will he go to TNA, who knows. All he do know from news that has surfaced is that Jeff would like some time off from the wrestling business. This is the reason he hasn't been pushed as of late while Matt has been. WWE only uses those who are in it for the long haul. :wink:
Jeff will leave and go TNA for awhile and then come back again

Well just tried to rent and even buy The Wrestler. Went to 2 different video shops and all copies were rented out, and I checked 2 stores that sell movies and all their copies had been sold. Perhaps this movie is very popular? Whatever it is I really want to see it.

I liked it, though one part was completely over the top. Its quite an emotional film when all is said and done. I really didn't expect to like it, but did. Rourkes performance was excellent.
Bobby Lashley, in TNA? WHOA.

He sucks.
No he does not. He needs to work on his mic skills, but in the right, the man is awesome. I'm guessing his less streessful schedule with TNA will help that. But, in his next MMA fight, the man he is going to fight makes even Lashley himself look small! Jesus Christ.
When are we going to have the draftees actually appear of their shows?

with the exception of MVP who will appear on smackdown in MSG to defend his US title against Dolph Ziggler.
Bobby Lashley looks even bigger in real life than on camera, he walked past me once when in line for raw, he was then put in a minibus full of luggage :confused: lol
i dont think he is awesome enough to make much of a difference down in TNA though
He is. Vince and the creative team never used him correctly. He could have been the next Brock Lesnar in my opinion.

I don't Lashley on the mic, his moveset, his image, everything. He bores me to death, much like Batista. He is average, meh, satisfactory etc and won't do anything for TNA.

the topic of batista bores me, i just dont get what people like about batista, he has a smaller moveset than cena and people always go on about cena small amount of moves, well batista has less. i could go on for hours why i dont like batista so i will stop now.

Backlash results.
I cant remember how to use spoilers, so ill just say backlash was the ppv where ALL things changed hands!!!
Glad Christian won.
Not to bothered about HHH losing, it was going to happen sooner or later!
Big Show WTF!

Well I am glad Christian got some attention, would of preferred him in the WWE title hunt though. As for HHH losing his strap that was coming sooner or later, so nothing shocking really happened for me there. The one thing that did shock me though was Cena losing the title. Usually when this guy wins a title he carries it for a lot longer than he just did.

Even though he lost, swagger went over REALLY well, this guy has some skills and wont be on ECW for too long. Cena is doing another movie so i knew he'd drop the belt, hope edge gets for longer than a month now! Dont care about HHH, but thank god Orton is now champ.
But it was an TRULY AWFUL PPV
