Poof! Little particles of the Wrestling Thread, go floating through the air!

[Lobo]

Maybe John Cena can finally thank him for defining his career.

Cena battle raps Kenny.



And, this one which I hadn't seen, where Cena and Punk rap off air

 

[JabarR]

So, which irrelevant rapper will the WWE bring in to perform at Wrestlemania 30? It's been that way for the last few years. MGK, Flo Rida and Diddy.

So The American Wolves won the tag titles. Are they staying in ROH?

 

[Slushy]

I think Ziggler will win the title back from Del Rio at Night Of Champions. It will be a huge selling point for the PPV along with whether Bryan gets screwed over or not.

Really, since it's such an important event (the 30th WM, after all), I hope they abandon the whole "pop"/rap thing and do something a little classier and just have someone sing "The Star Spangled Banner" and "America the Beautiful" (and just let Lilian Garcia sing one of them).

Those days are over. WrestleMania will have musical acts every time now, and they'll be second rate.

 

[Van Petrol]

Anyone else remember this? I alway used to be jealous of that kid in the pic.

Not if they bring back what's left of Run DMC.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I'm fine with them getting a popular artist, but it doesn't need to be their own music, it needs to just be those songs I mentioned before. I don't care if they get Usher, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, whoever... Just have them sing "America the Beautiful" instead of their own songs. There is a 100% chance it will get a better reaction than that Puff Daddy concert did. Also, I really can't imagine these little concerts increasing buys at all, and they cost a lot, I'm sure.

 

[Wheels]

Well, even though I don't care for MGK, I feel like he is relevant. Living Colour was there just to play Punk's theme, so that's fine. P Diddy was a choice that doesn't make any sense at all. When was the last time he had a big album?

 

[Donnie Darko]

Oh, in all for Living Colour being there. They had a real purpose. I would also be fine with Motörhead there for Triple-H or anything like that. It makes sense that way.

 

[NDX]

But didn't you see how many more buys this year's WM had compared to last years? That's all thanks to Piddle!

JoJo is so friggin cute. Good job Justin.

 

[The Sage]

JoJo is so friggin cute. Good job Justin.

Yes she is.

Eva Marie is a fool.

Nikki Bella is naive.

Cameron's stupid.

Everyone else is cool or tolerable.

It's much cheesier than I remember But fantastic marketing!

 

[JabarR]

Eva Marie is a fool.

Correction, she's a freak!

 

[Dr. Evil]

Diddy's last song of any relevance was when he was a guest rapper on a remix of "All I Do Is Win."

MGK may be relevant, but he's not one of rap's big stars like Jay Z or Kanye or a legend like Snoop Dogg.

I expect the WWE to go after Pitbull to perform, because (for reasons unexplained) the dude is popular. For those not into Rap music, he's the John Cena of Rap. It would be a perfect match.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

He's not John Cena. Pitbull's not even good when he has good artists carrying his songs.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Yes, but like John Cena, he's popular for no particular reason.

 

[Hunter Rider]

I guess I'd agree with Hernandez...always thought he had potential, but I'm just tired of waiting on that potential to manifest itself. Probably not all his fault, as TNA has never given him a sustained singles push.

But with Chavo, I'll admit I'm being unfair. I've never really cared for him...even during the Smackdown Six days...he just bores me to tears. Part of that may be the huge shadow that Eddie cast over him, as Eddie's one of my all-time favorites. I guess he was mildly entertaining when he was doing the crazy gimmick in WCW, galloping around on the broomstick horse. Still, I've been watching this guy for 17 years, from WCW to WWE to TNA...I've had enough...please go away.

I'm not a big fan of Chavo either, he's always been somewhat dull and since Eddie's death I find his use of Eddie's mannerisms and moves more a case of desperation to be over than a homage to late his late, great Uncle.

However if he was X Division Champion I think a lot of their spot monkey indie guys could learn from working him, they could become much more rounded performers who knew how to integrate the cool moves logically into matches as opposed to just doing spot after spot with no storytelling.

Regarding Abyss, I thought TNA was going to run a split personality angle where everyone in the company realized he and Joseph Parks are the same guy except for him. Again, now I've reached the point with the gimmick where I no longer care.

Well I've never cared about Abyss so the less they do with him the better, without doubt one of the stupidest workers I've ever seen.

TNA, if you're reading, please just give me my Aries/Styles Iron Man match, and I'll be happy!

I'd love for Aries vs Styles to headline BFG but I'd prefer a regular match that got 45 minutes as I like the uncertainty factor in a big title match, one fall and it's done has more excitement value IMO. The rematch could be an Iron Man Match though.

It’s interesting because CM Punk and I have a lot in common personally, yet we are very different. He is very brash and kind of says whatever he feels. I’m more laid back and not the most outgoing person. But we have a certain respect for each other. I have been on shows that Punk drove 14 or 15 hours for from Chicago to get paid 100 bucks. We’ve done those shows in front of 30 people together. It’s a long road for guys like us to get here. I’m always astounded. There was that December PPV when I had cashed in my Money in the Bank contract to beat Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship and Punk had retained his WWE title that same night. We used to work on the indies together and then there we were, both champions. No one really thought we could do it. It’s very cool and surreal.

I actually though this kind of thing would heave played a part in the Punk vs Brock storyline, but so far they have their theme set and it's working perfectly.

I guess I set myself up for that one, eh?

"Not that there's anything wrong with that!"

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Yes, but like John Cena, he's popular for no particular reason.

I wouldn't say Cena became popular for no reason.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I still stand by my statement that Pitbull is the John Cena of Rap.

 

[Dr. Evil]

AJ and Jojo the same size?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

I still stand by my statement that Pitbull is the John Cena of Rap.

Uh... Okay. Not particularly accurate, but okay.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Vanilla Ice, would love to see the wrestlers dancing to the Ninja Rap.

Only if Mick Foley brings back Dude Love and they bring in Disco Inferno. Otherwise, it'll be a giant freak, a midget and Santino.
