15-Year-Old Wrestling Thread is STOKED That Shawn Michaels Kicked It in the Face

[TX85]

We'll see, but the fact they seem to be keeping the Big Gold around is making me wonder.

Jericho carried both titles for a while until the Undisputed title was introduced

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Exactly. It's a marketing ploy until they get rid of the Big Gold. It's already been listed as a retired belt.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Has anyone considered that we could get Cena and Hogan vs. Triple H and Vince?

 

[Slushy]

I'm happy they've kept both belts, but something tells me the unification will be short lived.

I'm also content with having Punk Vs. Michaels and Bryan Vs. Helmsley at Wrestlemania 30.

I've heard that rumor going around but IDK if anybody would actually want to see it. Course it would keep Cena out of the Title match and but they really seem to be pushing Punk vs. HHH for possibly WM so the only thing I could see Punk doing if that match doesn't happen is being in a Triple Threat match with Orton and Bryan which I wouldn't all mind.

I'm definitely within the group of folks that think closing WM 30 out with another Cena vs Orton match would just be plain awful. Those two alone have nothing to offer; they're barely appropriate for a standard pay per view match....so having them close off the 30th anniversary for WM would be almost as anti-climactic as Anakin Skywalker having been just forced pushed into a batch of molten lava before fighting Obi-wan.

 

[Slushy]

What's up with Michaels acting heelish? Loved the "You sold out!" chants from his homestate crowd.

Which is only slightly more anti-climactic than the fight being decided by who had the high-ground.

lol; perhaps, but at least we still got a kickass duel before it.

Rey & show vs Codydust, The Real Americans vs Big E & Henry are two good tag matches from the show. Then there's a Punk promo on Triple H that turns into a Punk and HBK promo that leads into Punk & The Usos vs The Shield.

The main event is Bryan vs Orton and is one of the best matches of the year.

Don't forget that Nykki Bella gets her teeth knocked in.. Moment of the Year

He screwed Bryan out of the title a couple of months ago and superkicked Punk last week. Despite all that, he hasn't gone full fledged heel but they are taking him to the brink for a possible match with DB.

Any highlights to RAW? Where are the storylines leading?

Potential WM main events:
HHH vs CM Punk
Orton/Bryan/Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

 

[Lobo]

And the excellent Bryan vs Orton match

 

[Wheels]

Orton's execution is top notch. He and Bryan do work very well together.

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns was recently interviewed by ChicagoNow.com on their website. The full interview can be seen here. Below are some of the highlights of that interview.

On the debut of The Shield:

“It was a literally a rush. Looking back at it I felt like I was so unprepared. The funny thing is that day they wanted us to come out during the Triple Threat Match, with literally riot shields. They gave us turtlenecks and stuff and it didn’t really fit us, so we made a few adjustments. We were the new guys so all the eyes were on us and they wanted to see what we were made of."
"After that match, after we walked through the curtain, it was high fives all around. From that day forward, the three of us made a pact that we are in this together and whatever happens, we do it together.”
​

On criticism about his promo work:

“I’ve never been bothered about what a fan thinks. That’s their prerogative, that’s their opinion. Everybody can see what I am doing in ring, but people will still criticize me. I am a student of the game, so I’m working on things every day. If it’s not physical it’s mental and cutting promos is mental. Anytime I’m thinking about wrestling, I’m going to run thoughts through my head to improve myself in all areas.”
​

On one day becoming WWE Champion:

“In five years I want to be WWE Champion. It’s simple as that. If somebody else told you something else, they would be lying to you. I will be riding in a private plane called ‘Roman Air’ or ‘Roman Empire’. No matter what the plane is called, I will have gold around my waist.”

Following WWE Raw last night, WWE Hall of Famers Jim Ross and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin tweeted about the promo between Shawn Michaels and CM Punk.

 

[the_ultimate_evil]

How's this for the rumble a young face or 2 say kofi/ziggler get no1 and does decent eliminating a bunch of lower card heels till the miz of some one of similar level comes in followed by each member of 3mb, and the real americans . Face gets beaten down till real American hits hogan comes out cleans house pose with the new guys

Thus setting up an 8 man tag for mania where hogan leads the new generation in a match

Does anyone think that this Monday and Cena playing Good Samaritan is a tease for a triple threat match at either The Rumble or Mania?

The show opened with Orton staring down Cena and Bryan at the top of the ramp, and it ended with him kneeling over both of them. It's gotta be foreshadowing, I just hope it's for the Rumble and not Mania.

 

[Hunter Rider]

F4WOnline.com is reporting that the reason that JBL, Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler took a "selfie" at the announcer's table during a match was to make fun of United States of America President Barack Obama. Vince is not a fan of the President and wanted to poke fun at the fact that Obama took a selfie at Nelson Mandela's funeral last week.

WWE's latest poll is asking fans who deserves a Tag Team Championship match after their victory on WWE Raw. Big Show and Rey Mysterio lead the voting with 72 percent. Mark Henry and Big E Langston are second, while Ryback and Curtis Axel bring in an impressive 5 percent.

Rybaxel virtually sucks the charisma out of everything, if they'd came out during that Punk/HBK segment both guys would be left as husks.

Either that or he concludes the issue with the Wyatts AND wins the Rumble on the same night for a Mania match but with the way they keep bringing up that Bryan was never beat Clean, it seems indicative of Bryan being the man to take the title off of Orton in the future.

I don't see any problem with Roman's promo work; his character is the kind that doesn't need catchphrases or to intimidate people with his insanity. His personality is more along the lines of Kevin Nash, Dave Batista or even Bret Hart, which isn't a bad thing.

I think he has potential on the mic. He's got an attitude andd charisma that is starting to show.
