sure is, wonder how much Flair, Michaels and other legends got for turning up and being in the H.O.F

[DeviousOne]

Orton just seems like a guy just there to collect a check and doesn't really give a shit about anything. So the wwe uses him to to build other starts and it seems he's ok with that roll.

I genuinely think he's been bored with the business.

[claud3]

well he has been suspended twice and just seems to have lost all interest. But that will change when he is in the title hunt again

[Molo316]

Really i thought he was because the big push het got from hhh back in evolution days.

It was probably because of his blood line that he got that.

Apparently he was supposed to main event WrestleMania 21 after Brock Lesnar, but of course he left, and then Orton got done for something (can't remember what now) and then Batista stepped in.
Apparently Triple H says he doesn't like him because he sees Orton as being his own worst enemy; the bloke's been suspended three or four times now, hasn't he?

[claud3]

orton if you are talking about and then i believe twice or 4 times suspended... He needs to get sorted or things will go so bad big time for him

On Triple HHH, he needs to just stop wrestling and focus on the backstage work

[DeviousOne]

2 times.

[Yuuichi]

Yeah he one violation away from having the boot. He says he is all clean now but who know. The guy admited he had a bad cocaine problem and yet stayed in wwe through it all.

[Molo316]

Was he not suspended last year or something? I'm sure that was at least the third time.

Either way, me saying how many times doesn't mean anything.

Last year was the second time.

I doubt they would fire Orton he'd probably just walk his ass over to TNA if they did.

Orton got a suspension in 2006 for that whole online steroid scandal. Then after that he got suspended for his behaviour (trashed a hotel room oversees), and then he got another suspension in 2012. So yeah he's on 3 but allowed to stay, I guess since 1 suspension wasn't due to drug test failure.

Also Orton actually stood up against Triple H for Umaga years ago which is why those 2 don't like each other but most of the locker room likes Orton.

I for one can't wait for Orton to get back in the title scene. A title scene consisting of Del Rio, Orton, Henry, and maybe Sheamus/Bryan would be awesome. Just keep Big Show the fuck away from the title and we're good.

EDIT: if Orton can keep of the roids and behaves normal he'll be here to stay. He signed a 10 year contract in 2010..

[DeviousOne]

I always forget about the hotel trashing however he's had 2 wellness violations? So 3 wellness violations and your out is the rule? We should ask evan bourne lol

Here is an excellent WWE.com Article

Here is a link to the article

http://www.wwe.com/classics/classic-...-in-wwe/page-7

WWE.com has posted an article that looks at several big names in wrestling that actually did appear in WWE for a very brief moment in time.

These include Crowbar, The Public Enemy, Baron Von Raschke, Great Sasuke, Kevin Von Erich, Kevin Sullivan, KroniK, Tony Schiavone, The Fabulous Freebirds, Tiger Mask, The Rock 'n' Roll Express, Buff Bagwell and Greg Gagne.

They also mention Samoa Joe, who competed as an enhancement talent against Essa Rios on WWE Jakked in March 2001.

WWE wrote: "Samoa Joe became an icon on the independent wrestling scene throughout much of the 2000s by treating his opponents' heads like they were soccer balls. A rival of both Daniel Bryan and CM Punk during their early years with the Ring of

Honor promotion, the hard-hitting Samoan even battled Kenta Kobashi in the Japanese icon's most famous North American match. Joe earned his ardent fan base the hard way. But before he compelled supporters to chant "You're going to get your head kicked in!" at his shaken opponents, the near 300-pounder made a sole WWEappearance in March 2001. Competing on WWE Jakked only a few years into his career, a young Joe struggled against former WWELight Heavyweight Champion Essa Rios in an inauspicious national debut. The burly Samoan would go on to kick the teeth out of every major independen

Wow Essa Rios. .. that brings back memories.

Wasn't Samoan Joe the dude that was the champion for a long time in TNA?

[XMW]

From that list I knew about/had seen Crowbar, Buff Bagwell, Samoa Joe, Public Enemy, Tony Schavione, Great Sasuke and KroniK.

Wow Essa Rios. .. that brings back memories.

Wasn't Samoan Joe the dude that was the champion for a long time in TNA?

He had a 21 month long reign as World Champion in Ring Of Honor and had an 18 month long undefeated streak in TNA until Kurt Angle beat him.
His first reign as World champion in TNA was about 6 months I think.

[DeviousOne]

I'm gots to find this video lol if I do ill share it here with you guys

[Molo316]

Just watching Smackdown now. I said I thought that Rock's promo on Raw was pretty funny, but heading into a PPV, it was definitely not what it should have been. I'm glad they fixed this on Smackdown with a pretty good and heated promo between him and Punk.

Just thought: when their match starts on Sunday, Paul Heyman should just get in the ring and punch CM Punk. Rock gets disqualified, match over, title change. Job done

[claud3]

if dreams were so simple mate LMAO

[Molo316]

I guess. Although with it being The Rock, if that were to happen, they'd restart the match straight away for sure.

After the main event on Smackdown, I feel more convinced that my prediction, or thought, of who will win the chamber match and what will be the match for the World title at Mania will happen.

[claud3]

I see it playing out like this at E.C

ROCK VS PUNK wrestle for 10 minutes with HEYMAN getting involved with the ref so rock does not get near falls, Rock chasing Heyman around the ring and when Heyman gets in the ring and runs to get out again,

Punk drops an elbow on Rock... So after the 10 minutes it gets down to just more shit from HEYMAN and some shitty back and forth

With the end result being ROCK still champ

Look who's excited for the rematch.
Thanks for that very in-depth prediction though.

WWE will have an announcement this Monday, most sites report it'll be the announcement of WrestleMania 30 coming to New Orleans in 2014.

[DeviousOne]

I'm not too excited for ec ill still watch since its gonna be free and I got nothing to do on sunday night lol

no problem, always like to give the fans a blow by blow of a match that has not happened yet lol

On to this WM30 location, not really a huge surprise... Many was hoping for a more unexpected announcement

[Molo316]

For them, it'll be a big deal.
I'm in the tradition side of things. I can see from their viewpoint that holding the event in a much bigger venue, or stadium, will benefit them in terms of attendance/ticket sales. I do wish though that since they make so much money throughout the rest of the year that they'd think every 10th WrestleMania should be held in its birthplace and keep it at MSG.

[claud3]

I agree and it should be held at it's birthplace

Makes more since that way, same was said for the birthplace of RAW or E.C.W all those years back and they done ONE NIGHT ONLY their with ECW VS WWE wrestlers..

Makes sense to start WM30 at the same venue you had WM1

Umanga he was great. He was really the guy that made cena super cena. The tap out match and i think a last man standing. Umanga had potential and wwe pissed it away by making him a sacrifice to the reighn of super cen. Much like countless others.
