Because I'm The Wrestling Thread, And I'm... Awesome!

if the price is right i'd say yes

 

[BlackLantern]

he doesn't have to....nor does he need to IMO

I honestly think Chris Jericho can do a myriad of things....Id like to see him do a sitcom, I think he'd kill it

 

[Dr. Evil]

Jericho did host that game show on ABC earlier this year.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I just saw the latest FCW show, there was a decent Seth Rollins vs Richie Steamboat match on it, most falls in 15 minutes.

The main event was Byron Saxton from Nxt 4 vs Mason Ryan , the guy being eyed as the new Batista, if he is gonna be brought up the main roster I hope they wait another 6 months as he's terrible and needs lots more seasoning.

My favorite Rock matches:

Rock vs Austin II, Wrestlemania 17
Rock vs Triple H, Backlash 2000. It was one of the few times where overbooking looked good.
Rock vs Benoit, Fully Loaded 2000
Rock vs Jericho, No Mercy 2000
Rock vs Mankind Royal Rumble 2009
Rock vs Kurt Angle, No Way Out 2001

That's where Jericoh won the world title right? they had a decent series over that belt IMO.

My list would be:

Vs Austin (Wrestlemania XVII)
Vs Austin (Wrestlemania 19)
Vs Rikishi (Survivor Series 2000)
Vs Jericho (No Mercy 2000)
Vs Brock Lesnar (Summerslam 2002)
Vs Hulk Hogan (Wrestlemania XVIII)
Vs Triple H (Ladder Match, Summerslam 98)
Vs Triple H (2 out of 3 falls, Fully Loaded 98)
Vs Triple H (Iron Man Match, Judgment Day 2000)
Vs Kurt Angle (No Mercy 2000)

Am I the only one who thinks that the Royal Rumble winner this year is going to be one of the usual suspects?

I think it will be either Cena or Del Rio.

 

[The Sage]

Meant 1999.

Sorry, these decade jumps are confusing sometimes.

 

[TheVileOne]

Winning the Rumble is rather meanginless now considering they've thrown the basic formula and format out the window. Its not as cool as it used to be.

I sort of started in 2006. Rey won and then basically became a glorified jobber after that. His title match was weak as **** and his winning the belt was almost an after thought as he got buried under the card by you guessed it. Sledgehammer.

2007. Undertaker wins in an awesome moment against HBK as the final dude. Undertaker and Batista have an awesome match but again its not the main event under Cena/HBK.

2008. Cena wins but wastes the title shot earlier and doesn't compete in main event at Mania. Instead its Undertaker/Edge.

2009. Randy Orton rightfully wins and looks awesome while doing so. In fact, Orton goes into Mania with a ton of momentum and looks to be going to Rock/Austin levels and has finally reached another level but instead gets his legs cut out from under him by once again in Mr. Sledgehammer in a boring as **** main event after they got upstaged by Undertaker/HBK. HHH lets his petty ego get in the way of logical good booking and elevating the better guy yet again.

2010. Don't even remember. I think Edge won it and lost to Jericho at Mania.

 

[Project862006]

edge/jericho thing when you look at it now made no sense

edge returns from injury wins rumble faces his Nemesis at WM and loses lol

but Jericho drops the title to swagger the next night and swagger was not ready for main event spot. He then had a terrible run as champion and has been in the mid card since he lost the title.

 

[Darkness Falls]

it's a pity... edge and jericho had a couple of great matches back in the old days
their entire feud last year was almost an afterthought

 

[venom892]

Well it was the main program on smackdown for a while.I thought it was pretty good.

 

[Project862006]

edge is clearly winding down imo

i can see him retiring in a year or 2 he has been wrestling for almost 15 years not to mention he is 37

 

[Metallo]

 

[BlackLantern]

Edge will be out before 40, or at 40

Former WWE and WCW star Paul Orndorff, 61, revealed this afternoon on the SIRIUS pro wrestling talk show Busted Open that he was recently diagnosed with cancer.

Program host Reby Sky disclosed the news on her Twitter account, writing:

“Orndorff: “I wasn’t a very good politican. I wonder if I should have played the game” in reference to money & Vince McMahon.”

“.. after revealing he just found out he has cancer. This is almost too intense; studio on the verge of tears here.

Busted Open with 'Mr. Wonderful' Paul Orndorff
Hosts: Dave LaGreca & Doug Mortman
Mondays and Wednesdays from 2-4 PM ET
Sirius 125, XM 241 (facebook.com/bustedopen)

Here are some highlights of what Paul Orndorff said about:

Never having held the WWF Championship: "I was a rebel. I'm proud and I'm not proud of that. I let my work do my talking. I wasn't a very good politician. I said what I thought. I did what I thought was right for me and my family. Were they the right thing? I don't know. Were they the wrong thing? I don't know. Am I rich? Hell no. I have cancer right now. I wished I had saved some of my money…but that's just the way it is."

Where he is with his Cancer: "I don't know, I'm going to the doctors and they're doing things and I brought that up not for sympathy but because I don't want it. I just found out. And I'm sitting here telling you all this stuff because I wonder if maybe I should have just played the game."

The difference between the WWE and Professional Wrestling Halls of Fame (he is in both): "Well one is chosen by your peers, and one is chosen by Vince McMahon. I would pick the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame (as the most prestigious) because it's chosen by the people you worked with. I think it holds more ground. Why would the NFL or baseball do it (that way) if it wasn't the way to go?"

Randy Savage and Bruno Sammartino not being in the WWE Hall of Fame: "Well they didn't kiss (McMahon's) ass. Of course a lot of guys didn't kiss his ass believe it or not. I damn sure didn't…That's just life. It's nice that I'm in (the WWE Hall of Fame), but if I had to choose between the two, (I would choose) the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame."

i hope he can fight off the cancer

 

[venom892]

I hope he can beat it like Roddy did.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I honestly think Chris Jericho can do a myriad of things....Id like to see him do a sitcom, I think he'd kill it

Maybe as the scene-stealing supporting character, but I don't see him being the star of a show. Some supporting roles I see him doing:

Crazy neighbour ("the Kramer")
Crazy brother in law ("the Galifinakis")
Crazy boss ("the Donaghy")
Crazy star ("the Tracy Jordan")

 

[Dr. Evil]

I was online with SvR 2011 and I went to Community creations to download some CAW wrestlers and I have got to say: good lord....those people love Jessica Alba. There are like 50 CAW's of her.

 

[Darkness Falls]

automatically added into universe, his first match

No holds barred against the miz

Am I the only one who thinks that the Royal Rumble winner this year is going to be one of the usual suspects?

I'm guessing Cena but who else is there ?

 

[Dr. Evil]

I'm guessing Cena but who else is there ?

Burials and Taker as surprise entrants.

I need help. Can anyone tell me the month to month time frame where Kendrick came to Smackdown and got that push where he was WWE Champion for like 3 seconds?

I would have said "Jerry Lawler would love to be in Daniel's position" but the divas are too old for him.

I remember Kendrick getting a push, but I don't remember him getting the championship.
