[Dr. Evil]

so it looks like antonio cesaro aka claudio debuted at SD taping

I don't like how they debuted him without any videos.

 

[The Batman]

Since Cena is always referred to as SuperCena, calling him Superman and Rock Captain Marvel sounds better, especially since Marvel's abilities and equal strength can be used against Superman's weakness for magic.-

As it stands now, Punk is more Cena's Batman. Punk is pretty much his number two and Cena recognized him as his equal in a promo. I don't know where Orton stands now.

regarding Rock/Cena...I only say that Cena is more Rock's Captain Marvel because at the end of the day, Superman is considered more popular and more powerful overall than Captain Marvel. The Rock/Cena fued was like the Superman/Captain Marvel bout in that JLU episode "Clash", lol.

As for Punk, Punk is basically a marvel character compared to Cena's Superman. From a personality standpoint, Orton is def more Cena's Batman than Punk is.

 

[Slushy]

Cena = Captain America

Orton = Wolverine

CM Punk = Iron Man

 

[Darkness Falls]

brock's promo last night was pretty awesome
i like that they're letting brock be himself and not worrying about him being pg

 

[Lobo]

Orton is Wonder Woman lol, he just is the wrong gender.

Cena/Superman
Punk/Batman
Orton/Wonder Woman
Rock/Pre-Crisis Superman t:

 

[The Sage]

regarding Rock/Cena...I only say that Cena is more Rock's Captain Marvel because at the end of the day, Superman is considered more popular and more powerful overall than Captain Marvel. The Rock/Cena fued was like the Superman/Captain Marvel bout in that JLU episode "Clash", lol.

As for Punk, Punk is basically a marvel character compared to Cena's Superman. From a personality standpoint, Orton is def more Cena's Batman than Punk is.

I can't argue with that Rock/Cena comparison at all. Would you say Austin was Rock's Batman?

From a personality standpoint, I see where you're coming from. Outside of that, CM Punk works better.

When Batman and Superman clash or team up, there's excitement. And quite frankly, Cena/Orton matches are boring while Cena/Punk matches are great. Plus, Punk's wrestling style to me has a more Batman flavor to it. Orton's more ground and pound and brawling. CM Punk brawls, has more technical offense and employs a lot of kicks. And Batman's a master martial artist who can throw some of the best combinations out there.

On his own, CM Punk definitely is Deadpool. Personality wise, and his habit of occasionally breaking the fourth wall in his promos.

rock is black adam

 

[Hunter Rider]

So where is WWE going with Cena? He loses to Rock at Mania, then he gets punked out by Lesnar two weeks in a row, then he loses Tensi. Johnny Ace has declared Lesnar the new face of WWE, and there is no way Lesnar loses at Extreme Rules. What are they planning here?

I think they are using the Rocky III blueprint, Cena will go on a losing streak where the idea is that he's been on top that long that he's gotten complacent and soft, then he goes back to his roots (Not the rap gimmick) and finds his edge.

-- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has addressed the meaning behind one of his most famous catchphrases, "Jabroni."

When asked of the meaning of the word Tuesday on Twitter, he wrote, "Jabroni was a term I started using to describe a phony, goof, punk or a ham & egger. #NoCandyAssJabronis."

Odd answer since Rock has said more than once that it's an old wrestling term and he simply was the first to use it on TV.

- Kevin Nash gave props to WWE Champion CM Punk after watching last night's RAW Supershow:

"just got done with Raw.Punk needs to keep the belt at least till next May"

A fan replied that WWE would never have anyone hold the WWE Title for that long. Nash replied:

"what is old is now new. let him have that love affair with the fans make them pay to see him get beat make it epic. Make a heel"

Nash thinking big picture there, long reign establishes Punk further and brings more value to the belt, then the heel that knocks him off becomes an instant top guy.

Speaking to Not In Hall of Fame, Marty Jannetty addresses WWE's decision to only assist former contracted talent who partook in recreational drug use with rehabilitation assistance and not those with degenerative injuries caused by their time wrestling for the organization.

"I think so," he says in response to whether WWE should offer rehabilitation assistance to wrestlers suffering physical pain. "It is really hard for me to say, because I am not the person in charge of something like that. But I think that if someone is working for a company full time, especially with the money that is involved if we are talking straight WWE...I may be getting myself in trouble saying this, but in my opinion; and it is just that one goofy Rock and Rollers opinion; if you pretty much committed your life to working for that company for a period of time than the answer is yes. You are going to get hurt wrestling. Every match is at least a bruise. There are fractures and breaks, and often you work through it."

He continues, "Why does the WWE spend money on those who did stuff recreationally. I'll use Scott Hall as an example. He is a friend, but it is out there, it was on ESPN, so it is no secret. From what I understand, he has been in and out of rehab ten times. That was from the partying and choices made that had nothing to do with what was work related.

"Using myself as an example, I have asked them (WWE) if there is anything that can be done about my ankles. I have to take a lot of pain medication for it; way more than what is an average dose. Really, no more than anyone else who is in full contact sports. We all (wrestlers) have a very high threshold of pain to begin with and we are in good condition. We can handle more than most. Where one person can take a Vicodin and have the pain go away, a highly trained professional athlete has to take four or five times that dosage, and that is where you are getting into a danger zone. If I’m trying to take care of everybody pain, and walking is something we take for granted and I need pain medication just for that and it is work related than the answer should be yes."

Some good points from Marty.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Orton is Wonder Woman lol, he just is the wrong gender.

Hmm, let me think: soft olive-coloured skin, long silky legs, never wears pants, is interested sexually in women, I think you've hit the nail right on the head there! t:

I can't argue with that Rock/Cena comparison at all. Would you say Austin was Rock's Batman?

I never thought of it that way with punk, and I'd say Austin was definetely was Rock's Batman.

 

[Hunter Rider]

If Rock is Superman wouldn't Austin be more like his Lobo?

Cena or indeed The Rock's Batman is Triple H, the sharp dressing cerebral assassin who studies The Game! and has a wealth and business empire at his disposal. t:

 

[Pink Ranger]

The Attitude era and DC comics are incompatible; at best, you could make analogies with the Marvel Universe, or the better yet the Wildstorm Universe.

 

[Van Petrol]

Odd answer since Rock has said more than once that it's an old wrestling term and he simply was the first to use it on TV.

I'm sure I recall Austin using it on TV before Rocky ever did.

 

[Van Petrol]

Haha! Complete with a hole cut out in the back of cowl for the ponytail to flow through.


Btw, imagine the size of the nose on the cowl..

 

[Pink Ranger]

Cena or indeed The Rock's Batman is Triple H, the sharp dressing cerebral assassin who studies The Game! and has a wealth and business empire at his disposal. t:

Ha, that makes sense: the rebellious, tortured loner with four sidekicks.

Xpac: Robin
Chyna: Batwoman
Billy Gunn: Nightwing
Road Dogg: The Creeper

 

[Van Petrol]

So does that make Stephanie Catwoman then?

 

[TheOnlyOmega]

I'm loving the influx of new faces on the main shows. I'm surprised WWE is debuting him as Cesaro though, I figured they'd go with Claudio #noli

 

[Wheels]

Nevermind.

This thread is showing what happens when Comic Book fans talk about wrestling,lol.I love it.t:

I can't believe it took TNA this long to realize the TELEVISION TITLE needs to be defended on TELEVISION!

Such a novel concept, isn't it?

There was this Daredevil homage :

Unfortunately, Brock Lesnar is a jerk, but he explained it in his book. He's a country boy who enjoys the simple things in life so he wasn't one for all the fame and fortune and that's why he isn't fan friendly.

I like him because he's a beast who was born with God given talent and he doesn't like to fu** around. Lots of guys are scumbags, but the fact Brock admits it and is perfectly okay with being one makes me admire him even more.

I was lucky enough to meet him a few years ago at a autograph signing and he was cool to me, but I wouldn't bug him anywhere else.

That sort of makes sense. Fans can be irrational sometimes though. I would never be excited about someone yelling at me from a distance or hassling me at a restaurant. . If he's being a jerk to people at autograph signings that's a different story though.

My friend and I started an arena wide chant of "Sexual Chocolate" whenever Mark Henry entered the ring.
Definitely one of the highlights for me

That's funny. I don't want to see him turn face though.
