[The_Mystery]

The best match for me was the triple threat IC match. That is how you build interest and intensity in a match. They grabbed me with each fall and had, in my opinion, one of the most clever finishes for a triple threat. Shelton Benjamin and RVD are totally under-utilized.

I liked the Mickie James moment too. That's dedication on both ladies part to share that bloody kiss.

[Ultimate_Superman]

i also noticed that Vince actually acknowledged HHH as family earlier

yes he did it was a proud moment for me.

[Kurosawa]

Mickie is the best thing on RAW right now.

From WWE.com:

WWE has come to terms on the release of Rosey as of today, March 21, 2006. We wish Rosey the best in all future endeavors

[3dman27]

so long rosey

[Sabretooth]

Oh please he sucked as a heel,his style is that of a face in and out
the crowd cheered for him even as a supposed bad guy and he is not a great worker by a long shot,he is a fun spot worker but please




There's this thing it's called money,WWE needed a buyrate and Hogan/HBK gave them that,part of the condition for not screwing the Hogan deal up was that he returned to being a face afterwards
Hogan couldn't play the heel in the feud so for approximately 5 weeks HBK did a tweener stint to make the match draw
HBK turning heel has NOTHING to do with his Christian beliefs,from what I've heard. HBK doesn't want to turn heel because he doesn't want his son seeing that and being influenced because he saw his dad do it.

[Colossal Spoons]

Guess 2MW won't be happening.

[Hunter Rider]

Which all goes back to his religous roots though and......................

Talk going around inside the WWE is that Andrew Martin, better known to fans as Test, will be offered a brand new deal for his return to the company very soon. There is even talk going around about bring back Kevin Fertig, who was released shortly after debuting as "Mordecai".


For those of you wondering where WWE Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms is, he just underwent surgery to repair a broken nose that he suffered at the hands of Paul London on SD's recent tour of Australia. If you check on WWE.com, they have an update on his condition, along with photos of his injury and an interview that Helms conducted before he went in for surgery.


For those concerned fans who were wondering about the status of Joey Mercury, wonder no longer. The co-holder of the WWE Tag Team Championship was not injured at last night's Supershow TV tapings. He was just doing a very good job at selling as he left the ring and the arena.

[Eric Draven]

Haven't seen RAW yet but I'm guessing the tag match didn't happen and i also noticed that Vince actually acknowledged HHH as family earlier

A year of McMahon's vs Cena ????????:(

With Triple H back as part of the McMahon family of course :up:

[Sabretooth]

Yeah,seems like they're starting to be more open with Stephanie and Trips being married and H being part of the family.

[Eric Draven]

They'll probably also make Triple H the new Raw GM (while as WWE champion of course) because he's the King of Kings after-all.....

[Sabretooth]

I think they just forgot all about that storyline. Not as in trying to move away from it,I mean I think they just totally forgot about it and decided to move on to bigger things,like making Cena the new Superman and turning people heel every other week. ;)

[TheVileOne]

Read HBK's book and you'll see where he said it. He clearly stated he doesn't want to turn heel due to his Christian beliefs, he's said it a million times in countless interviews.

Yet he still did it recently.


As Hunter stated already, he was more of a tweener in his feud with Hogan and the only time he acted like a heel was in Canada.


He looked and acted like a heel to me. He provoked the whole thing by super kicking Hogan. He dressed up as him insulted him. He attacked Roddy Piper. Not sure what was tweener about it.


RVD is a different kind of wrestler though. As I said, he's one of those wrestlers that fans cannot and will not hate, and repackaging or giving a new gimmick wouldn't work. His strongest heel work was in ECW and even then the fans cheered him, so really that point you made is baseless.


I think a worker can still be a heel and have fans cheer for him. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Austin turned heel and fans booed him. RVD would just have to adapt some more dickish, heel like offense.


He never really did or does anything heelish when he was one.

He cut very heel promos when he was one. He would attack and go after the faces. Those seemed like heelish acts to me.

[The Apatow Crew]

If it was smaller I'd have it as mine :Djust ask hunter to downsize it for you.

[Hunter Rider]

He was fired completely but has no interest in wrestling from what i read he joined WWE to use as a stepping stone towards an acting career

[Sarge 2.0]

I missed Raw, but I regret it kind of, because the Foley promo sounds awesome. :(

The sad thing is I can actually see all of that happening. :(

[The FallenAngel]

Yeah great, say hello to "Stone Cold" John Cena. :rolleyes: I was just really hoping Cena would attack HBK and then HHH, and turn heel. That would've been cool. :(

[Eric Draven]

It's not even Stone Cold John Cena. At least Austin was allowed to still be Austin, even when face. Cena is still a watered-down version of his old self who was to resort to sucking up to fans.

[The FallenAngel]

Obviously, Cena could never reach the awesomeness of Stone Cold, but it just seems like a rehash.

[Eric Draven]

It is a rehash. Any feud McMahon has with a wrestler is nothing more than a rehash of his feud with Stone Cold.

The WWE is just screwing themselves over by keeping Cena as a heavily-booed face while keeping Hunter as the "heel" during this whole feud.....

[Sarge 2.0]

And he didn't even turn heel at SNME...and from the looks of it, he might still be face after losing the title. That's the impression I get from that Backlash promo.

[Eric Draven]

Can you imagine if the WWE had been this insistent on keeping Cena as a face with Rocky Maivia? :o

[Sarge 2.0]

I know. I shudder to think what would have happened to Dwayne's career if he had been the Blue Chipper for a few more months.

On a side note, I believe Joey Styles actually called Cena "The Blue Chipper" on Raw a month or so ago. I remember something like that, and thinking it was pretty funny.

[NDX]

I don't see Cena turning heel anytime soon, if ever again. Even though the general fans (18 - 24 males) seemingly despised (although they still buy his crap), he is very popular with women and kids, and kids are a huge moneymaker. As long as Cena can keep them satisfied, I'm sure he'll remain face until his profits fall off.

But that looks to be a long ways off.

I'm glad to see Foley working the mic again. He has the ability to put on some amazing promos when he's in and out of character. Always fun to see Cactus Jack show up. I think Foley and Edge will put on a good match in the end, and I hope Edge is right when he says he's going to steal the show.

As much as I want to see it, I don't really see Cena turning heel anytime soon as well. But not really for the reason you gave but because there can be only one main event heel on Raw.....:o

Edge has said that he wants to steal the show because he feels that he was robbed of his main event spot, and Foley feels that he never had a proper "Wrestlemania moment", so he wants this match to be that moment. I hope it lives up to the hype and expectations.

[Sarge 2.0]

As much as I want to see it, I don't really see Cena turning heel anytime soon as well. But not really for the reason you gave but because there can be only one main event heel on Raw.....:oI'd rather Trips just let himself turn face, so guys like Edge and Cena can work top heel spots. Although, I'd rather see Edge in the top heel spot, because I'm a big Edge fan. Cena just needs the character back, and bad. Maybe he should move back to SD for his heel turn? I dunno, SD is sort of running dry on Main Event heels. Orton and JBL can only go for so long before they start to get stale.

I would too actually. Plus, it would actually be something different. Imagine having a Triple H face run against heels like Cena or Edge?

And about Smackdown, I mentioned this to HR a little while back, but maybe a way to solve the apparent lack of main event heels on that show is to turn Batista heel when he returns. Just have him return as a monster heel. That might open up more possibilities. He could feud with Rey for the title and it will be a situation where Rey probably can't win but he manages to squeak out the victory anways. The typical David vs Goliath story. A heel Batista could also have a feud with Kurt Angle or even Chris Benoit....

[Sarge 2.0]

I think the plan was to have him feud with Angle, if they still wanted him to retain the title at Mania. Considering that Angle's face status doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon, he would have had to have turned heel in that situation. Batista, like Cena, had a better, cooler character as a heel. This is assuming that Kurt retains at Mania, which (although I love Kurt) I hope he doesn't.

[Hunter Rider]

HHH simply will not allow another top heel on RAW,Edge is without a doubt the freshest and most entertaining heel there has been in some time on RAW but he is not in his rightful place b/c HHH has all the power
Ive never been anti-HHH but him and Vince are really irritating me these days with the predictable crap they are pulling
Cena could make an awesome heel who bumps like crazy and sneaks a win

Destructive monster Batista in 5000 dollar suits with a manager would be GOLD

[Eric Draven]

I would rather see Rey win it at Wrestlemania. That way, at least one good Wrestlemania moment can happen. Then when Batista returns, he could initially be on Rey's side, then totally destroy him. I mean totally trash Rey's ass. This could mean he could return as the cool heel as well. Totally cocky that he could beat Rey easily for the World's title.

And that would also leave Angle to just have a straight-up feud with Orton in the interim. Maybe have Orton go over in the feud just to help strengthen his Legend Killer gimmick.

Yep. And it would actually be something different. A heel John Cena against a face Triple H in a feud. But that would mean Trips has to do something a bit different than what he's done for the past three years and that can't happen can it? :o

I think if Rey goes over at WM22 he will have one defense against Henry at Judgment Day before dropping the belt to Orton at GAB
Oh and Carlito apparently stated on a radio show today that Cena/HHH is on last at Mania

[Sarge 2.0]

nope HHH is in his comfy slippers as heel but to be honest he sucks as a face,his offence and style are suited to being a heelHe could at least be a tweener, but it wouldn't kill him to dust off his face character just to see where he goes with it.

[Sabretooth]

I'm suprised people are just noticing how Cena is a horrid imitation of Stone Cold. He's been like that ever since he won the US title and stopped rapping and started trying to be badass and saying silly catchphrases.

If Edge's (short) run as champ proved anything,it was that faces,even John Cena,work much better when they're going after the title. I wouldn't mind Cena vs. HHH continuing past WM22 if Cena was chasing the title and punking out Triple H on the mic (though,I doubt that's gonna happen to the ''King of Kings-uh'')

[Capt Throbberson]

I know. I shudder to think what would have happened to Dwayne's career if he had been the Blue Chipper for a few more months.

He called Masters the blue chipper I think

[TheVileOne]

Why is WWE so desperate in clinging to John Cena as their top face? Its not working anymore.

[The_Guyver]

Cena should just speak the truth, that all the guys may hate him, but women and children love him, so get used to it. WWE can't keep pretending the guy is The Rock or Stonecold, it's not gonna happen.

[krpton2]

The guyver is so right. Cena may be the best right now, but he doesn't compare to any of the legends.

[Warhammer]

Cena just needs to turn heel and diss everyone like he did the first time He was a heel. I kinda feel sorry for him every night when he has to ''play face'' and still get boo'ed anyway.
At this rate, a heel turn is desperate in his career.
I'd rather get boo'ed while being a heel like you're supposed to, rather than be a face and get boo'ed anyway.

:cool:

[TheVileOne]

Cena was really just the flavor of the month as Jeff Jarrett would say.

The rumored re-signing of former WWE wrestler Andrew "Test" Martin is now official, as the wrestler has verbally agreed to return to the company.

Test, who had been very outspoken against WWE since his departure from the company, worked two dark matches last week. Following those matches, it was considered all but a certainty that he would re-sign.

I definitely don't wish for HHH to have an injury though. As much as I hate his politics and his hypocrisy, I would never wish any physical harm on him.

The only reason why Impact hasn't been that entertaining as of late is because of Jarrett and Scott Steiner. They both have a way of sucking the life out of everything they're involved in.

Steiner only appeared on Impact once. And not sure if this is notably, the rating was slightly higher than the last few shows.

I don't think he's even appearing this week.


But hey, I haven't seen any of the Raw or SD! wrestlers murder a door off its hinges like Joe did. :up: :)

As far as RAW goes i feel you but SD is great IMO,Teddy Long does a great job as a subtle GM and all the matches they can have utilizing,Rey,Angle,Orton,Batista,Benoit,JBL,Lashl ey and Finlay should make for some great stuff

[Sarge 2.0]

actully the better brand is TNAI don't think Impact can be better than Smackdown just yet, only because it's an hour long. An hour timeslot is really only hurting their whole "More action, less talk" mantra, because they have to do the backstage segments, and those are the ones that take up the majority of the hour, with tons of filler squashes or a 10 minute tag match before the main event. SD has been consistently good with some real quality, well paced matches and angles for the past few months.

Man. I still can't believe Taker is stuck with Mark Henry for WM. I hope it's a 2 minute squash match. It doesn't deserve a second more of airtime.

"Vince McMahon stealing T.V. time with tasteless, pointlessly dumb segments that tarnish the last run of one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, people get bored of John Cena as champion (not even an angle, by the way), and Triple H "passionately rising" from the midcard to push Edge out of his spot so that he could be the 'King of King's' again." There's no way Trips/Big Show at the Rumble was better than Angle/Taker at No Way Out or Orton/Benoit from SD a few months ago. The only good thing about Raw is the Women's Division and the Edge/Foley feud.

I'm not even talking about HHH/Show @ Rumble, I mean their match on RAW when Show nailed HHH through the wall! I watched that ep twice and felt it both times! As far as Cena goes, I'm not defending him. I've enjoyed H's rise b/c I want to see him take Cena down a WM and gain back the title! Edge/Foley has been interesting, but the WOMEN'S DIVISION?!?!?! It blows every week. It's the only segment I fast forward through! Torrie is an under-utilized ragdoll and Trish is lame sauce!! AND, I'm not even the slightest bit tempted to check out Candice Michelle's playboy stuff...I'm sure it sucks as bad as her inring stuff...I'd much rather read up on Vince's Muscle & Fitness cover story!

The Women's division can put on better matches than the Main Event most of time, and it doesn't hurt that almost every girl in it is smoking hot.

Alexis Laree is by far the best AMERICAN female wrestler to date. I actually watched mondays segment twice. Ken Doane is one lucky mutha-fucca... If WWE decided to not let Daffney go from OVW 3 years ago garenteed she would be champ... I'm still bitter about that

Yup. I can't say I've ever watched Smackdown on a Friday night with the exception of a couple of nights when I've been under the weather. The show just isn't good enough to keep you home on a night where people are out and about after a long week.

[Eric Draven]

That's really not saying much anyways because I don't think anything could be shown on Fridays that would force me to stay at home and watch rather than go out. Not even if they had like Shawn Michaels vs RVD and Orton vs The Rock on one show....

[Mr. Socko]

Smackdown really sucks and doesn't bother me one bit if I miss it. I usually read the spoilers, if it sounds good then I watch, if not then I skip which is about 80% of the time.

And what has happened to Carlito?

He's lost his middle and last name and the cabana. :confused:

[Eric Draven]

IMO, nothing on Smackdown is as bad as this whole McMahon ego trip going on Raw at the moment.

I think it was better that Carlito lost the Carribbean Cool part of his name. It just seemed absolutely redundant to have that.

[The Apatow Crew]

wwe sickens me. there realeasing 2 other versions of the eddie tribute shirt.

sure you ca nsay itsa good thing but there just trying to get money now.
its the same shirt only a different color they have brown and red now.

[Mr. Socko]

IMO, nothing on Smackdown is as bad as this whole McMahon ego trip going on Raw at the moment.

This is all Vince trying to bring back the Austin/McMahon fued with HBK taking Austin's place.

[Mr. Socko]

And Masters and Carlito suck balls as a tag team. On their own, they're not that bad. I just hate when WWE throws together crappy teams who don't belong together.

[The Ghoul]

they have an Eddie shirt at hot topic such capitalism of death... I think (since they have a great market for retro-pop culture t-shirts) they should sell attitude era shirts (i've wanted a d-x shirt since I was like 10)

[Eric Draven]

This is all Vince trying to bring back the Austin/McMahon fued with HBK taking Austin's place.

Except this entire thing has been entirely one-sided. It's just McMahon humiliating Michaels to various extents. At least with the Austin-McMahon feud, Austin did manage to get some of his own shots in and didn't have various crap happen to him like getting drugged in order to lose a match.

[Mr. Socko]

The sub has sunk.

Masters sucks balls regardless. Carlito is reat. He needs more air time.

but notthe ones at hot topic. That goes straight to WWE. And that is capitalising on his death.excatly. and why would they want to make money off his death? i mean his family of course.

[The_Guyver]

The guyver is so right. Cena may be the best right now, but he doesn't compare to any of the legends.

:eek: Hell no he isn't!! He's faaaaar from being the best right now, and if he was in the mid-card, where he belongs at the moment, he wouldn't even be the best mid-carder either. Too much too soon, Johnny boy has a long ways to go before he can be considered anywhere near the level of The Rock or Stonecold, the guys the WWE is trying to convince us Cena has the goods to replace. I don't think so Vince, I don't think so :down

[Mister J]

Except this entire thing has been entirely one-sided. It's just McMahon humiliating Michaels to various extents. At least with the Austin-McMahon feud, Austin did manage to get some of his own shots in and didn't have various crap happen to him like getting drugged in order to lose a match.

Exactly. I believe it was Hunter Rider that called it the most one-sided 'feud' since the nWo first hit. This is what kills it for me. Well, that and the fact that I'm sick of seeing Vince trying to portray himself as legit competition. The stupid lawsuit threats, the no-sells, ridiculous McMahon promos...it all just sucks. Furthermore, it's all a rehash and a poor one at that.

Michaels can play a great underdog and the 'against all odds' deal but there's a limit to what he can salvage. He deserves better than this.

[Eric Draven]

You know, watching Smackdown this week, the actions Randy Orton did were a bit minor, but they helped to make the triple threat at Wrestlemania way more interesting. Man, is Orton playing a good heel at the moment.....

[The Batman]

I love the way he stalks people before hitting the RKO...like a Dog waiting for the kill....

[Eric Draven]

I love that smug look he gets on his face. Like you just want the guy he's feuding with to just smack the hell out of him.


I was never really impressed with Orton much during his Evolution days or his face run of last year. Yeah, he had potential to be great, but they gave him the title way too quickly last year. But the past few months have really helped to make Orton look like a credible number 1 heel on Smackdown.

[Capt Throbberson]

I seriously hope Lashley doesn't win this battle royal

Can't stand him

[The Undertaker]

Regardless of how degrading this feud is to HBK, Vince seems to be one of the only few faces of wrestling that can cut a believeable promo.

[Capt Throbberson]

****, looks like lashley's going to win :(

All he did was post it out of the ordinary.

[Sabretooth]

Yeah,I was just about to say I wish that match went longer. It was a great one,though :up:

I don't like Lashley being in the MITB match. His style just won't fit,it's exactly like Kane being in there last year. Unless he takes part in some crazy spot,I'll be severely dissapointed.

I could ***** all day about how wrong and utterly retarded Vince vs. Shawn is/will be. But,since everyone seems to feel the same way,I'll spare it this time. :p

Like Eric Draven said earlier,Triple Threat just got alot more interesting. No teaming up,and everyone wants to beat the **** out of each other. This match has the possibilty of stealing the show (if Foley vs. Edge doesn't first) but for some reason I don't like Rey Mysterio being in there. The quality of his matches really went down after WM21.

[Eric Draven]

I don't really mind Lashley because it just creates variety in the MITB match. Now there's at least two high-flyers (RVD and Benjamin), two veterans (Flair and Finlay), a guy who should've been in the first MITB match (Hardy), and the newcomer who just has a physical game (Lashley). It just makes things a lot more interesting.

[Eric Draven]

And when are they going to release the Wrestlemania dvds all by themselves? I don't really want to pay 200 dollars for the Anthology, especially since it includes Wrestlemania 9 :mad:

[SLYspyder]

smackdown's main event was great. as usual, its nice hearing the crowd cheer for their face champion. im way more excited to watch smackdown than raw nowadays. orton, angle, and mysterio, they're working so well together, im glad is finally back on the right track after Triple H derailed him and he got injured by Batista. you couldn't ask for a better heel than orton right now on smackdown, i hope he wins the championship.

IMO HCTP is the best SD game. SVR 06 ( I can't hit top rope moves, like the five-star splash :mad:) The only thing I hate about is can't break up submissions and lack of dramatic tag team matches. In SVR 06, the guy keeps running in to break up the pin even know you're going to get a 1 count or a 2 count they still run in. :mad::mad:

I remember people talking about how it was impossible to hit finishers off the top rope some time ago

[The FallenAngel]

I've never had that problem. Just do a high-impact move on your opponent, around the time they are in the orange or red damage range, and go up top and hit it.

The ROH triple shot looks fantastic.

Its interesting. Same weekend as a crappy ass Wrestlemania, ROH is probably going to put on 3 of the best wrestling shows ever.

[Sarge 2.0]

It's kind of difficult to hit the Five Star, now that you mention it. But I hit the SSP all the time.

[Sabretooth]

SVR 2005 and SVR 2006 both suck ass. For some reason they keep getting pretty good reviews though. Sometimes I can't stand how developers try and make games uber realistic by having your opponent reverse every hold. Maybe if they spent as much time making better season modes instead of the other,unimportant stuff it'd be more fun.

HCTP season mode was amazing. You had a different game every single time you played through. You could take out superstars you didn't want in (something I made VERY good use of) and you could switch brands. With SVR 06 after I won the WWE title with one of my CAWs and went to play through again,it was the same angles. So dissapointing.

[TheVileOne]

No wrestling game has ever matched up to the AKI THQ ones. Though I will say, their season modes were nothing special either. BUT, they were still sort of early versions of season mode.

I wonder how the TNA game will play.

[The FallenAngel]

I might pick up HCTP just for some game variety. I have WM 21 for XBox, which really sucks. Raw 2 for XBox, which is alot of fun, but way too easy. SvR06, I love. Season mode is the same thing over and over, but I enjoy everything else. I hope the TNA game is good.

[Savage]

Eh. I dunno. Kinda diggin SvR '06 the most. The rest I've always seemed to find a flaw in. Too slow, too fast, too boring, not enough variety but this one has a very good balance and is the most realistic I've ever played so far (And I've been playing since the wrestlemania for Sega Genesis days). The whole stamina thing really balances it out and takes care of the whole "random comeback" syndrom the other games suffered from. Could care less about the season mode.

I hope the TNA is as good as even HCTP. Just that level alone and I'd be happy. Although I'd love it if they ripped off things like the stamina system. :D

[citizenpain]

nintendo definitely always had the best wrestling games... the x-box games have all sucked... and the playstation smackdown games have been decent, but i never played svr 06 and i hear that was a lot better than its predecessors which were too much fighting and not enough wrestling. i'm looking forward to the tna game but considering microsoft's track record with wrestling games, i'm not gonna get my hopes up too high.

[The Ghoul]

SD!vsR06 is awesome. Before that, I thought DOR for game cube was best. But I've gotten so great at making CAWs in DOR & SD!vsR & SD!vsR06 I've created an exact likness of myself & i di mean exact from the face & everything

[Warhammer]

I can't wait for the sequel to Smackdown vs. Raw 2006.
They need to add some more stuff to it, like the mini-tron backgrounds (the only thing i've always wanted in a wrestling game since HTCP).

Just making sure, y'all know what the mini-trons are right?

[Savage]

Yeah, I getcha. Like Triple H's face flashing in the back of him during his entrance or Batista's "B". Everyone seems to have tone now.

I'm looking forward to the TNA games more than WWE Smackdown really which has become almost like the Tony Hawk series. Can't wait to play me some Christopher Daniels. :D

[NDX]

Well, even though I missed the ROH show, I know I'll be getting the dvds to it, so it's no worry. Looked liked a real good show. Well, at least there is the Lake Grove show in May.

Even though this might not have been the best UXW show wrestling-wise, the interaction I had with some of the wrestlers was worth alone. I really enjoyed going back and forth with Sweeny and Big. Looks like this might become a common thing, if I'm lucky. Raven also picked up a win over Rhino after losing to him for JAPW, although Abyss never made the show.

Plus I got free tickets to the next UXW show on May 20th, the Chris Candido 2nd Annual Memorial Show. That is always a plus.

[The FallenAngel]

Yeah, I heard the ROH show last night was amazing. I marked out when I heard what Shelley had to say during his match. Some fan asked where his camera was and he screamed back "It's in Orlando, you ****ing twit!". Also, at one point he hit a Lionsault, and the crowd erupted with chants of "Y2J". Shelley stood up and did the Jericho pose. Awesome. Sounds like every match on that show was great.

[The FallenAngel]

Also, in the ME last night, KENTA got the pin on AmDrag, and Joe/KENTA had some interaction at the end, with Joe saying KENTA couldn't beat either of them in singles matches. Should be interesting to see what happens as a result of this.

[Sarge 2.0]

Btw, does anyone have an CHIKARA matches that they could upload? Despite the goofy costumes, I hear that the tag stuff is great.

Also, I was wondering where Claudio would stand in this ROH/CZW feud, looks like I found out.

When Necro and Hero came out to fight Adam Pearce, Claudio nailed Necro with European Uppercuts, chased them out and said "**** CZW!".

John Cena's latest blog on Myspace:

''Hey guys just wanted to get some feed back on the different pics that are up there. I see that wwe stuff all the time and wanted to give you guys something special. And for those that think I dont read the comment board. I do! How else would i know about all the different opinions goin on. Im leaving for our last live event run before wm 22. I just finished a canadian media tour for wm. I talk a lot to media, to critics and to people who have self proclaimed knowledge of the business that is wwe. Its so funny to me sometimes to hear an "educated" reporter or fan tell me what is happenning in our business. There seems to be a lot of talk in wrestler university about me "turning heel". This IS whats going to happen. The "smart" people will keep plottting, planning, and conjuring up scenarios that they feel are right, dont get me wrong every opinion matters but there is a huge difference between opinion and fact, I will keep being me. So while the so called 'experts' can tell me what Im doing for the next 6 months. I only worry about today. I am not a 'babyface' or a 'heel'. I am me. That is why people tell me to ***** off, and that is why people are willing to stand up for me. I love my job, and my life, i am blessed to be myself and I try to let the fans experience many things that go on with me that most superstars dont. I am not ashamed of who I am, where I came from, or what I have become. These are the last words ill write before the most important day of my short career. I guess what im trying to say is, enjoy this. Enjoy it as much as I do. Some times people dont have all the answers and sometimes there is no right and wrong and you just have to live the moment and enjoy it, for whatever it brings. I know ive already said this but thank you matt, who has his own myspace under matt cena, you are a true inspiration to me to 'never quit'. Thanks to dan, john fabulous, steve, and boog, and to mom dukes to. I love you guys. Dave nock, you have been like a second father to me and i would go to war with you any day of the week, thanks for your help in gettin ready for mania. To all those supporting me I WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! you have my word. win loose or draw i will be my best for april 2nd! hope you guys enjoy, and check out the picture of the awa ring that i used to have. I also had the Barron Von Raschke doll whos hand came in the claw position! The Claw! Sweet! Till after the dance!

HUSTLE. LOYATLY. RESPECT.''

Just being yourself Cena? Heh. :D

Oh well,at least now there's a bigger chance of him turning heel.

[Sarge 2.0]

Hahaha. He spelled "Loyalty" wrong.

But seriously, I got kind of an a-holish vibe from that blog...is he really that anti-smark?

[LastSunrise1981]

Holy hell, for a minute there I thought I was reading an Ultimate Warrior rant.

I just got the whole blah, blah, blah vibe from the blog.

[Hunter Rider]

LOL,translation=everyone knows it's smart for me to turn heel but Vinnie won't allow it so i'm gonna feud with him and Tripsidoodle for 6 months with my stale face act:o

BTW shame on ppl for sleeping on the brilliance that was Mysterio/Finlay:up:

KENTA vs Joe-Book it Gabe!!

[The FallenAngel]

I think it won't be booked because if Joe and KENTA kicked each other at the same time, wouldn't the world explode?

[The FallenAngel]

So, Cena is saying that he will turn heel? His friggin' writing goes from one idea to another with no structure...douche. :mad:

[Sarge 2.0]

I'd like to see Joe be the one to beat KENTA, as KENTA has been picking off the ROH guys for a while. Heh, I heard Joe tried to intimidate him after their match, and KENTA just picked up the mic and said "I don't understand English, sorry".

I MUST have this show NOW:mad: :(
Im not sure Misawa will allow KENTA to lose to any Gaijin as they are building him towards finally beating Kobashi in NOAH

[The FallenAngel]

Alot of people seem to think KENTA is going to head into a double feud in ROH with Joe and AmDrag, since Joe basically called him out after the match, and KENTA got the pin on AmDrag possibly leading to a title shot.

[Sarge 2.0]

I MUST have this show NOW:mad: :(
Im not sure Misawa will allow KENTA to lose to any Gaijin as they are building him towards finally beating Kobashi in NOAHI always thought Joe was a credible Gaijin, almost Terry Funk level. I could see KENTA getting pinned in the near future, possibly even this summer. Unless TNA starts pulling Joe out, which it looks like they're priming to do.

Joe has no rep at all in Japan,he only worked a couple of Zero 1 shows as a jobber

[Sabretooth]

Damn. There seems to be a ton of Cena news today. Here's an article:


Boobirds get Cena fired up

By TIM BAINES - Ottawa Sun



John Cena
John Cena has heard the boos. But boos or cheers, he really doesn't care.

"It's great," says WWE champion Cena, who will face Triple H in the main event of next Sunday's Wrestlemania in Chicago. "It's better than hearing nothing. From the moment I got to express my personality, I've never cared about what anybody thinks.

"If they want to tell me to go to hell ... if that doesn't fire me up, nothing will.

"But I still want to work hard for those kids who say, 'Yo, that's my guy.' I'm just being me."

Don't get him wrong, Cena likes his current role.

"I was raised on the concept of hustle and hard work," he says. "And if people attach themselves to that, that's great. I am what I am, straight up.


"Triple H is quote, unquote a heel. He's himself. There are points when he speaks where you laugh and like him. But when he's in the ring, you don't like him."

Cena, who won the WWE back from Edge earlier this year, has enjoyed the rivalry.

"I don't think you've seen the last of Cena vs. Edge," he says. "Something must have bitten him in the ass in 2006 because he's really stepped up his game."


----------------
New plan everybody,CHEER CENA! :mad: :up:

[Sarge 2.0]

Joe has no rep at all in Japan,he only worked a couple of Zero 1 shows as a jobberHuh. I thought his run in Zero 1 was successful.

Heh, either way, KENTA has to lose in America sometime. :o

[Hunter Rider]

Huh. I thought his run in Zero 1 was successful.

I only heard about him doing a couple of jobs for Tanaka and Otahni plus Zerp 1 is not a big promotion like NOAH

Y'know I've always wanted to see what Kane could do with a title run, but why go over Rey? Especially since Rey deserves a nice run, and moving Kane to SD would just be weird.

[Sabretooth]

About DAMN time Kane goes to SD! and it makes perfect sense. Now he won't have to be around so many egomaniacs and as long as he stays the hell away from the Undertaker he should have nice feuds.

And I pray to God that Kane's next reign will last longer than a day.

[Sabretooth]

...

I honestly don't expect WWE to have that much faith in him. Despite his massive fan following,WWE feels people won't take a 5'4'' Champ seriously.

[Sarge 2.0]

I've got this sick feeling in my stomache that Kane's big feud on SD will be with Boogeyman. :(

[Sarge 2.0]

I honestly don't expect WWE to have that much faith in him. Despite his massive fan following,WWE feels people won't take a 5'4'' Champ seriously.Wasn't Eddie around the same height?

He has a massive following, and I doubt that they would feel any different about him if he were champ. I hope they change their minds, and his reign at least lasts through the summer.

[Sabretooth]

Most feuds last after WM22 until like the mid year. Booker T and Boogeyman will probably be one of those feuds. Like I said,as long as they stay away from Undertaker vs. Kane it should be fine.

[The Ghoul]

Just because Rey loses it when Kane wins it, that doesnt nessessarilly meean Kane's going to SD!.

[Sabretooth]

Eddie was like 5'9'' or 5'10'' :o

And we can only hope. Though they're probably going to do that with Kane because of his movie and I mean,the guy has to be at least 40. They probably want to milk him for all he's worth similar to Batista and JBL.

[The FallenAngel]

Glad to hear Batista is coming back soon.

I'm guessing they are just putting the title on Kane to promote his movie. Seems like an odd move though.

And why the hell give Flair MITB2? He doesn't need the win.

[Warhammer]

Rey better not win.
And it will be interesting to see Kane with the title belt.

[Eric Draven]

Just because Rey loses it when Kane wins it, that doesnt nessessarilly meean Kane's going to SD!.

Notice they said Kane was winning the World Heavyweight Championship though, and not the WWE title....

With Undertaker taking a leave of absence as well, I could see Kane getting moved to SD during the annual draft. I guess it'll be interesting to see what happens in the coming months :confused:

[Eric Draven]

I honestly don't expect WWE to have that much faith in him. Despite his massive fan following,WWE feels people won't take a 5'4'' Champ seriously.

They said similar things about Bret Hart back when they decided to make him a main-eventer as well. They didn't think he could be a good champion, didn't think he had the look for a main-eventer and all that. But they gambled a bit anyways, and it worked out. The same could happen with Rey if given the chance....

I forgot all about the draft.

[Sarge 2.0]

Since Taker will be taking time off (Again. Why have these gotten more frequent?) after Mania, he might as well retire after Survivor Series.

And why would Flair win MITB2 instead of RVD? That would just be pointless, especially since they were talking about RVD using his shot at ECW AONS.

[Eric Draven]

Because RVD winning the MITB means that they actually might do something worthwhile with him and that can't happen at all...

[Warhammer]

I dont like someone like Flair winning that kind of match.
That should go to RVD, Lashley, or even Finlay.

:cool:

But things are different. You're talking about something from nearly 10 years ago. WWE barely takes chances anymore,and when they do someone just ****s it all up and they're back to square one. I'd like to see Rey win the title and keep it but the bookers are obviously singing a different tune.

[Sarge 2.0]

I don't think WWE has any idea what kind of money RVD winning the WWE Championship at an ECW PPV would be. Jesus.

I dunno, the WWE seems pretty high on Rey. It looks like they wanted to make him a main-eventer for a long, long time. And Rey is one of the more popular guys on Smackdown.

And it really wasn't that different 10 years ago anyways. I mean Hogan was basically almost like Triple H. He could've been even worse. I mean, he did have the uncanny ability to make two champions look horrible in one match (Yoko and Bret)....:o

[Eric Draven]

I don't think WWE has any idea what kind of money RVD winning the WWE Championship at an ECW PPV would be. Jesus.

They never really had an idea what to do with RVD. I mean back during and after Invasion he was probably the most over guy in the WWE roster and yet, they did absolutely nothing worthwhile with him. It's a good thing he's probably getting paid a lot or he would be gone by now....

Rey will probably still be a main eventer,and who said he can only get the belt once? They might have him go on the comeback trail like with Cena recently,though I hope in this case Kane will keep the belt alot longer.

They often recognize that RVD is extremely over, but they never do anything about it. :confused:

Baffling, I tell you.

I'm kinda "meh" about Kane getting the Heavyweight title at the moment, but only because they've set things up between Rey, Orton, Angle, and even Batista to have interesting matches up to Summerslam and beyond and that seems like it's going to the trash now :(

[Sabretooth]

I just can't fathom how the booking can't put two and two together. They often recognize that RVD is extremely over, but they never do anything about it. :confused:

He was over as hell during that three way with Show and Triple H. I guess the figured putting him in MITB would be enough to satisfy the fans. And despite him probably losing it (which is just wrong) at least he'll probably be involved in a huge spot with Benjamin.

[The FallenAngel]

5 Star off the ladder? :o

[The Apatow Crew]

what are they gonna do if kane's movie flops? take the belt of him right away?

[Warhammer]

I am pretty sure Kane's movie will flop.
But....If Kane is to keep the title, they better write his character wayy better than they are now.
Or He'll end up being another Edge with the title belt.

[Sabretooth]

5 Star off the ladder? :o
That'd be awesome,especially if he was doing it to someone who's lying on a table. :o

[The FallenAngel]

Hells yeah. Someone on a table, on the outside, while he is on top of the ladder on the inside of the ring! :mad:

[Warhammer]

Hell, MITB might be the best match at WM22....after Angle/Orton/Mysterio.

[Sabretooth]

Hells yeah. Someone on a table, on the outside, while he is on top of the ladder on the inside of the ring! :mad:
I think I'd geekgasm in my pants. :(

[The FallenAngel]

Me too. :( That spot better happen.

[Sabretooth]

Hell, MITB might be the best match at WM22....after Angle/Orton/Mysterio.
Don't forget Foley vs. Edge. I expect that match to steal the show. :up:

Bret Hart Says He Will Not Appear At WrestleMania 22

And vows to walk out if he sees Shawn Michaels...

The Calgary Sun has an interview up with Bret Hart. In it, Hart says he will not appear at WrestleMania 22, saying he will be at the Hall of Fame Ceremony and will then fly out of Chicago on Sunday (the day of WM22). He added that he knows WWE will try to convince him to work the show but that he won't. Interestingly enough, Hart says he has not signed the contract WWE sent him about even showing up at the Hall of Fame Ceremony and again stated that he is not being paid to appear.

Hart also mentioned that he does not want to see Shawn Michaels at the Hall of Fame Ceremony and that if he does, he will walk out.

"I've basically told them that if I see Shawn, I'll get back in a cab and go straight to the airport. They'll have to get him to do my induction speech. I just feel that there's too much anger for me. Too combustible."

Hart again stated that he won't work for WWE after the Hall of Fame Ceremony, saying that it is his way to say goodbye to the fans.

[Sarge 2.0]

Christ, man, let it go. :(

If you really care about the fans Bret, you wouldn't walk out of the Hall of Fame ceremony for something as trivial as an old rival being in attendance.

[Warhammer]

Bret's being kind of a punk if you ask me.

[The FallenAngel]

Seriously, he needs to let it go already. That's a bit ridiculous.

[punishermax]

I am pretty sure Kane's movie will flop.
But....If Kane is to keep the title, they better write his character wayy better than they are now.
Or He'll end up being another Edge with the title belt.

Kane's movie is a slasher flick. Considering that slasher movies are made a small amount of money compared to other movies, it's hard for a slasher film made by an actual studio to flop. If it even makes 10 million its first weekend, that would make it a good outing for that movie. Not to mention most films make a lot more of their money on DVD on not Box Office anymore. I don't think Kane's movie will flop, but I don't expect it to be number 1 though either.

[Jason Blood]

Bret has said that he will never work for the WWE again

The Hall of Fame is all he's doing and he even turned down getting paid for it, as that would make him (if only temporarily) an employee of the WWE

What an *******. Hell of a way to say goodbye,Bret. :down

Smackdown will always have momentum with Dave Batista.
Even if Undertaker leaves, hopefully some other known wrestler will take his spot on Smackdown after Wrestlemania.

[The FallenAngel]

Randy Orton better be the one to get pinned :mad:Not a fan?

[Colossal Spoons]

After what Randy did to Rey on Friday, he just got bumped up a few dozen notches in my book.

[Sabretooth]

Most contenders in these types of matches try and pin the actual champ. Pinning the other contender just doesn't seem to be as dramatic as knowing you pinned the #1 superstar on the roster.

Oh for the love of God, let it go man.

HBK even said if Bret doesn't want him there he won't be there. If you ask me Bret is being a bit immature and won't let go.

Then again it's not entirely his fault though, as Vince keeps on bringing it up and showing the footage rather than moving on himself. Seriously though Bret, move on and just show up at the HOF ceremony, say the proper goodbye to your fans in a WWE ring, and then you can move on for sure.

But holding a grudge and threatening not to show up is a bit immature.

As I said, Shawn said if Bret doesn't want him there, then he won't show up and won't cause any fuss with Bret about it.

Kane's movie will make pretty good money

The Grudge made money because the whole "Japanese Remakes in America" fad is going on strong right now, and Saw was soething people haven't seen, or atleast most people haven't seen yet. I'm guessing it'll make somewhere between 12-15 million at the box office, anything over 20 and I'll be surprised.

WWE isn't as popular as it once was. Maybe if this movie came out in 99 or 2000 then it'd make more money, however, I definitely don't feel it's going to make a strong buzz at the box office.

imo the kane movie is prolly gonna bomb at the box office.
